MUSICAL LTIEMS.

(Front the Musical Standard)

We regret to hear that Air. Balfe is suffering
'roue severe illness,

A new theatre has been built for the use of the
Emperor's Court at Compiegne.
The performance of tha Italian Company at the
Cirque, Brussels, has been suspended, owing to the
extreme cold in that city, and deficiency of the
heating apparatus at the theatre.

The civil tribunal of Munich has just pronounced
a decree of divorce between Mdme. Cosina do
Bulow, nee Listz, and her husbani. This is the
lady who it is said is about to marry Wagner.
Wagner has sent to Munich the score of another
opera, "La Valkirie." The work is a continuation
of " Rheingold," the performance of which latter
alone lasts, we are afraid to say, how many hours.
A very bad performance of " Oberon" has taken
place at Munich (Wagner's stronghold). After the
opera the King went on the stage, examined the
various scenes, and tried the machinery. He finished
by giving a lesson to the various performers as to
how the work should go.
An exhibition is now open at San Francisco,
California. The orchestra, besides including the
usual instruments, has in keeping with the latest
extravagances, an anvil, a steam whistle, fireworks,
bombs, &c., and only requires an ungreased cart-
wheel to complete its peculiarities. "A Railroad
Galop," with real whistle, and a " Battle Piece,"
with bombs and genuine cartridges, are very po-

pular.
Professor Sterndale Bennett's " Woman of Sa-
maria," Sullivan's " Prodigal Son," and a new work
by Mr G. W. Martin are to be given by the Na-
tional Choral Society.
Saturday Evening Concerts at Exeter Hall for
the performance of the best vocal and instrumental
music—for the benefit of early closers—are to be
given in January ; they will mitigate the dulness of
Saturday evening in the Strand.

A number of additional labourers have been
taken on at Woolwich Dockyard within the last

stereo to other yards, which duty is being effected
as fast as facilities will permit.
