aington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very best article, next
sterling silver, that can be employed as such either usefully or orna-
mentally. In the lengthened and ineseasing popularity of the ma.
erial itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that tho articles sold by W. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
an be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
hey be distinguished front real silver.

INCREASING CROWDS AT THE " NEW
COLOSSAL ESTABLISHMENT."
The houses just opened by MOSES and SON,
Occasion more stir than they ever have done,
The public assemble in multitudes vast,
To behold the great rival of present and past,
This monarch of all great commercial affairs
Is throng'd in the warehouse— is threng'd on the stairs,
The show-rooms and gallery likewise present
A proof how the mind of the public is bent.
Such excitement has never prevailed in the East,
Or not since the tunnel was opened, at least.
Let the thousands that crowd to behold what is done
By the dauntless projectors—E. MOSES and SON;
Remember this fact, that however they flock,
They can all be supplied from the present spring stock.
Were treble the number to visit the Mart,
E. MOSES and S3N could accomplish their part.
Let the hint be sufficient for thousands to come
New
behold the grand market, or lay out a sum.
Work, entitled " Past, Present, and Future," with full
directions for self-measurement, may be had on application, or
forwarded, " Post Free."

MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Verdi's opera, I Lombardi, ally prima Crociata, was pro-
duced here last evening, and the fiat of the audience of the
first Lyrical Theatre in the world, coincides with that of
every other audience to whose judgment this opera has been
submitted, and stamps it as the great work of a great man.
We have already given the plot of this opera, and certainly
Verdi has been fortunate in his choice of a librettist, who
has not only imagined a most dramatic plot, bat has deve-
loped that plot in a most dramatic manner; and well has
Verdi known how to avail himself of the advantages thus
afforded him. It has been hitherto one of the distinguishing
characteristics of Verdi, that he has, without turning to the
right hand or to the left, without studying the particular
powers of particular singers, written his operas fairly out
according to the situations, translating into music the passion
or the sentiment which he had to illustrate, and, treating his
vocal parts as lie does his instrumental, written them not far
the particular soprano, or tenor, or basso, who may chance to
be popular, but written for soprano, tenor, or basso, without
reference to individuals. Thus Vedi's operas will not die with
the present race ofsingers—they- will always retain possess at
of the stage • and their success hay in every instance been
achieved rather by their own intrinsic merits than by Vie
particular exertions of any particular artiste concerned in
their production. The scene of the first act of I Lombardi is
laid in Milan—the time in which the action takes place is
the eleventh century, the time of the first crusade. After a
few introductory bars of music from the orchestra (there is
no regular overture), the curtain rises and discovers the
court-yard of the church of St. Ambrose. Cheerful music
is heard within the church, and then the citizens enter; and,
in a twoopart chorus of men and women, we are informed
that Pagano, who had attempted to stab his brother Arvino
because Viclinda had preferred Arrino's suit to his, has re-
turned, and that he is that day to ieceive his
pardon. This chorus is carefully written, and
elaborately instrumented, and proves Verdi to be a most
accomplished contrapuntist. Pagano (Fornasari), Arviao
(Corelli), Viclinda (Madlle. Corbari), Griselda (Madame
Grisi), the daughter of Arvino, and Viclianda and Pirro
(Botelli), the friend of Pagano, then enter:, accompanied by
the ecclesiastics of St. Ambrosia in grand procession frost
the church. The next scene is in the genet yof the palace of
Tollo, the father of Arvino and Pagano. It
is night, Viclinda and Griselda fear souse
impending calamity; and here we have a beautiful pregltiet a,
" Salve Maria," delightfully given by Grisi. Pirro and Pa-
gano enter. Pagano is still determined to wreak his ven-
geance on Arvino. While Pirro watches, he enters Arvinc's
chamber, and immediately returns with his sword bloody..
An alarm is given ; among those who enter is Ar-
vino. Who is it, then, that Pagano has slain ?
It is his own father; in horror he attempts to slay himself;
his sword is wrenched from him •, and, like Cain, he is ca t
forth to lead a life of misery. The scene of 'The -second a t
is at Antioch. Acciano, the sultan, is seated on his throne.
He has taken captives from the
rusaders, among theta
Griselda, the daughter ofArvino. She has captivated the heart
of his son, Oronte (Mario), who in a most delicious melody
" La mia letizia infardere," expresses his feeling of affection
for her. This melody was given with so much taste, pa-
thos, and feeling, and with such powers of execution by
Mario, that it created quite a furore. Not only was Le
called on to repeat it, but, after having sang it a second
time, he was again called for, and had to bow his
thanks to the audience. It was the greatest tri-
umph Mario has yet achieved. The scene then
changes to a mountan—a hermit enters from his cave--
this hermit is Pagano. Pirro, who has become a renegade,
and is in the service of the Sultan of Antioch, seeks the
holy man to ask forgiveness of his sins. The crusaders
approach, and the hermit assumes his armour to join ti e
soldiers of the cross, extorting from Pirro a promi e
that he will betray the city into their hands.
The scene then changes to the interior of
the harem of the sultan, and we have a very effective chorus
of women, who deride the grief of Griselda. Indignantly does
she reply to them, when they are interrupted by a melee of
women, soldiers, and crusaders, who rush into the harem,
the city having been taken. Among the crusaders is
Arvino; and Griselda, in a most magnificent and mo-t
originally written scena, expresses the contending
passions by which her heart is torn joy at being
rescued from captivity by her father, is mingled with sorrow
at being parted from Oronte, her lover, and with indigna-
tion at the cruelties which the crusaders have perpetrated.
This scene was magnificently given by Grisi, and is one of
the most original and effective ever composed. The
opening scene of the third act is splendid. t
represents the Valley of Jehosaphat, with alit
city of Jerusalem in the distance, and is perhaps the mot
beautiful scene that the pencil of Mr. Marshall has ever yet
produced. We have a fine massive chorus of knight-,
women, and pilgrims, who are wending- their way towards
the Holy City. After their departure Griselda enters; in her
father's tent she cannot breath—she seeks the free air—sl•e
has but one thought—love. She is joined by Oronte—an,t
out of this situation, the most common-place of all the
common-places of the lyrical drama, Verdi has elicited some
of the most original effects ever composed. The duet be-
tween Oronte and Griselda isa perfect gem ; and, unlike otter r
composers, he does not suffer the beauty of the music to
tempt him to sin against dramatic oraisemblance. The lovers
are interrupted by a cry of to arms. This introduces the
tretta of the duet, which, contrary to custom, is not repeat&.

The situation required that the lovers should without delay fly ;
and, sacrificing himself to his art, he will not permit them :o
remain, to i epeat even the most beautiful part of his du: t,
although he would have been fully justified in so doing,by
the example of all his predecessors. This proves thet
Verdi is an artist in the highest sense of the term. We
then have a short scene in the tent of Arvino, fee:n
whence the crusaders march forth to battle ; and then we
have the last scene of the act—a caw. This scene is intro-
duced by a beautiful violin solo, which was exquisitely per-
formed. At intervals the clash of arms is heard without ;
then Oronte enters mortally wounded supported by Griselda;
they are followed by the Hermit. Oronte, in his last
moments expresses a wi h to die a Christian. He is
baptised by the hermit, and dies in the arms of Griselda and
Pagano. The terzetto between Oronte, Griselda, and Pagano,
with which the act concludes, was beautifully given, and the
acting of Fornasari and Grisi in this trying scene was sub-
lime. The subdued and dignified grief of the hermit con-
trasted finely with the impassioned Griselda. Never was
agony more heart-rending than that of Grist, and never has
Grisi been greater than she was in this scene. In
the fourth act we find Griselda sleeping in tl e
cavern. She has a vision of celestial spirits, among them
Oronte, who assures her he is happy. She awakes,
and now comes the grand scene of the opera, the air et'
Griselda, the "Non fa sogno,"—which is in Italy whht
The soldier tired" was for years in England, the tri
song for every prima donna. It was given by Grisi mo
effectively, and is one of the most marvellous vocal triumphs
which even Grisi has ever acchieved. - The next scene is the
Lombard encampme:t, near the Sepulchre of Rachael ; and
here we have the most sublime, massive, elaborate chorus
in the opera, "0! Signore dal tette natio." The audience
seemed awed into silence by the sublimity of the music,
which is almost of a sacred character, and at the eonclusi( n
of the chorus there was one loud and unanimous call for its
repetition, which was of course complied with. Every praise
is due to the chorus singers, and to the orchestra for the
perfect manner in which this sublime composition was
given. The Lombards, led on by the hermit, rush on to
battle. The scene then changes to the hut of Arvino ; the
hermit is lei in mortally wounded. Finding death
approaching he discovers himself—he is Pagano,
and with that discovery ends the opera. The acting of
Fornasari in this scene was very fine, and although an spola-
getical placard, bespeaking the consideration of the audience
for Fornasari, on the score of illness, was posted about the
lobbies of the theatre, yet there certainly was no necessity to
make any apology, for Fornasari last night fully maintained
his well-earned fame, as one of the greatest actors on the
lyrical stage. At the conclusion there was a general call C r
the principal artists, and Grisi, Mario, Fornasari, and Corellf
appeared before the curtain and were received with that
enthusiastic applause which they had so well earned by their
exertions. The house was crowded to suffocation. The
ballet of Alma concluded the evening's entertainment.

THE BOOK OF COSTUME.—Among the various an-
nouncements of new works, we notice one which cannot fail
to have more than ordinary attraction for readers of both •
sexes. We allude to the elegant volume, just published,
under the title of " The Book of Costume ; or, Annals of
Fashion," the production of a lady of rank, profusely illus-
trated by the most eminent artists. We have reason to
believe that this entertaining volume is the first general
History of Costume, in all nations, ever published, and from
the beauty of the numerous enrravingq, and the great care
taken with the text, which has had the advantage of being
revised by the first authority of the day in suchl becomematte ars,
there can be little doubt that the volume w
standard book of reference on all questions connected with
fashion in dress.

heart, shortness of breath, swelling of the hands, feet, and le gs,
lowness of spirits, and want of strength and energy, which state of
things was slowly breaking up his constitution ; and finding no le-
neflt from the medical treatment at Birmingham, he proceeded to

WILD SWANS NEAR SHREWSBURY.—Ten wild swa. s
visited a piece of water near the house of J. Morris, Esq , of Oxon,
near this town, settled there three weeks, and thence' fled to Bomc re
Pool, the property of E. 0. S. Owen, Esq., of Condover ; they re-
turned to Oxon, and then betook themselves to the water at Onsiew,
the residence of Colonel Wingfield, near this town. Two weeks ago
some thousands of brent geese passed Brighton, about a mile at E oft.
There was a continuous stream of them for at least two hours, and
their course was from east to west. And about the same time,
Oalignani's Paris newspaper announced that "four wild swans were
seen flying over the large piece of water in the Tuileries at the end
towards the Place do la Concorde, and at length drop down upon it
with a sudden dash, which at first frightened the two tame swans
which have hitherto had the exclusive occupation of the ba-in.
These, however, soon recovered their confidence, and seemed to v el-
come their unexpected guests with true French courtesy, The
vi-
sitars were somewhat less In size than their hosts, but their plumage
was mulch more brilliantly white. They did not appear to be at all
disturbed by the presence of several persons who stood on the blink
of the water, but enjoyed themselves until the hour when the foun-
tain at the centre was made to play as usual, the noise of which
surprised and alarmed alarmed them so that they again took night."
