ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY A-YEAR.
At the present political juncture we hear
Very much of " One Hundred and Fitty a-Year,"
And I certainly think it will net be amiss,
To say a few words on a subject like this;
For the topic et income is certainly one
Which °albs for a line from E. MOSES and SON.
Many persons indignantly " set up their backs"
At the thoughts of an income and property- tax;
Especially so when it reaches the sphere
Of a limited " Hundred and Fitty a-Year."
The statesmen themselves are divided about it,
Some wish to retain it, while others would scout it ;
Seale cry "Let its have it," and others cry " Waive it ;"
But the neutral language of MOSES is " Save it."
All persons possessed of a " Hundred and Fifty,"
Have need to be prudent, and eantious, and thrifty,
Ind the fact of an income and property-tax,
Should teach them to wear MOSES' coats on their backs.
The savings by MOSES would shortly appear
In the tax on a " Hundred and Fifty a-Year,"
The coats, vests, and trowsem, the bats, and the shoes,
Wenld save them far mere than the taxes would lose ;
And the worth of the garments would make them appear
Possess'd of Five Hundreds and Fifty a-Year ;
And this have we proved that the subject is one
Which specially hears on E. MOSES aid SON.

MONEY-MARKET.—Iay advices from llamburgh
the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at the English
Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 13.11; and the exchange at Ham•
burgh on London at short being 13.11-!-, it follows that
gold is 0.17 per cent. dearer in London than in Ham-
burgh. The course of exchange at New York on London
is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange betwoon Eng-
land and America being 109 2340 per cont., it follows
that the exchange is 0.68 per cent. in favour of Eng-
land; but the quoted exchange at New York being for
bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be added to the
above difference.
On the 25th ult. the greater portion of the town
of Bolechow, in Galicia, was destroyed by fire. One
hundred and fifty houses fell a prey to the flames.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Verdi's opera of Attila was produced here last night
for the first time in this country. The announcement
of this opera produced quite a sensation amongst the
musical dilettanti of London, because it was her per-
formance of the character of Odabella, the heroine of
this opera, that first secured to Signora Cruvelli her
present high position. Her performance of this cha-
racter at Rovigo, a short time since, created such a
.furore in Italy that her fame spread not only all ever the
Peninsula but across the Alps, and secured for her
offers of engagement from almost every lyrical theatre
of note in Europe. The subject of the opera is the death of
Attila, and the action of the piece commences just
after the destruction of the city of Aquileia by the
King of the Huns. Attila, (Signor Beletti) is rejoicing
among his followers in his camp, in celebration of the
capture of this groat city, when he is surprised by the
appearance of Odabella (Signora Cruvelli), the daugh-
ter of the Lord of Aquileis, who has fallen in the
battle, accompanied by a train of Aquileian virgins.
The spirited and patriotic maiden defies the conqueror,
who touched by her courage and her beauty, and
alarmed by the sight of the virgins bearing palm
branches, and by visionary fears, which his supersti-
tious imagination conjures up, and which seem to warn
him not to approach the Imperial city of Rome, at
length yields, and asks what boon he can confer upon
her? She replies a sword, her determination being to
avenge the wrongs of her country by slaying the tyrant.
Attila gives her his own. At length the moment arrives
when she is to carry her project into execution. She, in
her turn, becomes fascinated by Attila. She cannot kill
the man who loves her, and she remains in Attile's
camp. Foresto (Signor Gardoui), the chief of
the defeated Aquileians, accompanied by Ezio
(Signor Cuzzani), the Rome.e geeeeral, arrives
in the camp. Foresto is disguised, and Ezio
feigns to be a traitor to Rome, and expresses a desire to
betray the cause of the Emperor to Attila. Foresto has
been the lover of Odabella, and he is now in the camp of
the Huns for the purpose of poisoning Attila, and in
conjunction with Ezio, taking advantage of the confusion
which must arise in consequence of eittila's death, to di-
rect the Roman forces to the attack and destruction of the
barbarians. Odabella saves him from being sacrificed by
Foresto, and in return Attila insists on her sharing his
throne. On the day of their euptiale Foresto again
penetrates into the Hunnish camp, sees Odabella, and
bitterly upbraids her for bar perfidy, and her love for
the destroyer of her country and the slayer of her father.
Odabella becomes once more a Roman, and carrying her
first resolve into execution, stabs Attila to the heart,
who dies exclaiming—" Et. to pure Odabella." Such
is the plot of the opera, which, it will be seen, affords
much scope for the is riting of expressive and dramatic
music, and of which Veidi has well known how to
avail himself. The choruses aro massive, and in ge•
neral highly dramatic in tbeir expression. In this opera,
as in almost all his other dramatic compositions, Verdi
has exhibited a strong partiality for unisonous choruses,
and where expression is to be given to the feelings of large
masses, such for instance as the Huns led on by Attila,
those choruses in unison are particularly effective.
The aria dititrata of Odabella, a grand cavatina,
"Allor the i forte corono," is an exquisite com-
position full of pathos and expression, and
was deliciously sung, and excellently declaimed, and
acted by Signora Cruvelli. Her manner of giving the
celebrated " Noi donne Italiche," as she taunts Attila
with the superiority of the Italian maidens who take up
arms for the defence of their country over the women of
the barbarians, who sit idly at home, was superb. It was

full of the fervour of true patriotism —it was ,
magnificent, it was sublime, and we are not stir- '
prised at the profound emotion which her rendering
of this fine passage always produces in Italy.
Turn we from the sublime to the beautiful, and
we shall find it in another aria, sung and exquisitely
sung by Signora Cruvelli in this act. " 01 nel fuggento
navel°, ' is one of the most exquisite melodies ever
composed, beautiful exceedingly for its extreme sim-
plicity, and with a delightful accompaniment of oboe,
harp, and flute. This was most deliciously and beauti•
fully rendered by Signora Cruvelli. The entrance of
Foresto on the scene is preluded by a description of a
storm ending in sunrise. The Italian composers have
seldom attempted descriptive music in which the
Germans and the French (witness the names of Haydn
and Beethoven, of Felicien David and of Hector Berlioz)
so much excel. It is clearly not for lack of power or of
genius that Verdi has hitherto abstained from this
species of composition, for this description of the storm
is perfect of its sort, and worthy to take its place by the
side of the most meritorious of the compositions of
Felicien David. It is an appropriate introduction to
the appearance of Foresto, whose aria d'intrata, "
Ella
in poter del Barbaro," was given with exquisite pathos
and delicious sweetness of expression by Gar-
doni, who also gave the romanze in the third
act, " Che non arvebhi misero," with great
beauty and expression, and- whose duet with
Signora Cravelli, " 0 t' inebbria nell araplesso," was
enthusiastically encored, an honour richly deserved by
both artistes. Tne part of Attila was admirably sus-
tained by Signor Beletti ; his fresh, clear, powerful, yet
flexible, baritone voice, was heard to great advantage in
the aria in the first act, and his acting throughout was
inegniticent. The Ilunnish King could not have been
inure efficiently represented. Signor Cuzzeni had but
little to do, but that little he did excellently well.
His aria in the second act was beautifully given, nothing
could exceed the grace with which he rendered the
andante passages. The finale to this act is a quintette,
" 0 Sposa t'allieta," which was exquisitely given. All
the artistes were called for at the conclusion of the
opera, and richly deserved the honour of the ovation.
Balfe has drilled his orchestra admirably—it as nearly
approached perfection as may be. Nothing could
exceed the brilliancy, and at the same time the firmness
and the precision with which the music of Attila was
given last night, every light and shade was completely
appreciated, and tastefully and perfectly delineated.
The mounting of the pieco was superb. The house
Was full.
The Queen's box was occupied by Major-General
Bowles and party.
In the Queen Dowager's box wore the Earl and Countess
of St. Germans and Lady Louisa Eliot, and Viscount
Viscountess Canning.

pRINCESS'S THEATRE
A Mrs. Barrett, of the American theatres, made
her first appearance last night at this theatre, in the
character of Lady Teazle, which she supported
with considerable elegance of deportment and discrimi-
nation. She was very well supported by J. Cooper,
J. Vining, and Mr. Compton, as the two brothers and
Sir Peter Teazle. After th© comedy, an extravaganza,
entitled Mammon and Gammon, was played for the first
time, the incidents and dialogue of which were of the
broadest description. They, however, elicited the
hearty laughter and applause of the audience, and one
of the party, that of a tender-hearted kitchen maid, was
very well played by Miss Villars, whose untiring zeal
and general intelligence entitle her to the c ,nsideration
of the frequenters of Mr. Maddox 's theatre.
