.H-Elt MAJESTY'S TELEA.TRE.

As usual during the engagements of Madlle. Piccolo-
mini this theatre was crowded to the ceiling last night,
to witness the admirable performance of the charming
and youthful prima donna, who was greetel with the
most enthusiastic applause during the oper‘. Sae has
lately arrived from Dubin, where her success was 111)3t
triumphant, the critics in the Dublin papers vising
with one another in her praise. Signor Belletti and
Oharles Braham are also highly spoken of by the Dublin
press, but Signor Rossi seems to bs a special favourite.
We quote a few extracts from the principal papers :
" Signor Rossi made his debut as Don Pasquale with
unequivocal success. He possesses a great fund of mirth
and animal spirits. It required no interpreter to tell
the various passions by which he was agltated."—Saum-
deri IVeas Later, Oct. 17.
"It was fortunate for the fame of Signor Rossi that
Don Pasquale' was performed in Dublin several times,
but he personated the part of the old Don better than
it was ever performed here before, and we say this with
a vivid recollection of the admirable impersonations of
the character we have witnessed."—The Daily Express.
" Don Pasquale was personated by Signor Rossi, a
buffo of high merit, and the possessor of a rich and
powerful baritone. Hir conception and performance of
the part of the old Don was masterly and effective."—
Preeman,'s Journal, Oct. 17.

ADDRESS TO THE BISHOP OF RIPON.—On Tuesday
last the Mayor of Ripon, John Richard Walbrau, E-q.,
arid the other members of the corporation, waited on tee
Lord Bishop, at the palace, to present the addressagreed
upon at a special meeting of that body, in congratulation
of his translation to the see of Durham. The bishop
in his reply said it was gratifying to him to reflect how
the civil and ecclesiastical authorities had been moving,
each in their own sphere, in the presence of the other,
endeavouring to fulfil with integrity the functions of
their respective offices, with no jarrings or collisions
which might leave
painful recollections ; each aiding
the other, as occasions might arise, to promote the
temporal and spiritual interests of the people committed
to their care. Such were the gratifying recollections
in reference to his intercourse with the corporate body
of that city, which he should carry away with him to
the scene of his future labours. The mayor, aldermen,
and councillors then proceeded, accompanied by his
lordship, to view the chapel and grounds, and after par-
taking of a handsome lunch and dessert, returned to the
DT;
