THE OPERA 6EASON.—A letter dated Vienna
March 26, says—The day before yesterday Madame Csillag
left this city for London, where she is to sing at Covent-
garden Theatre. Csillag, who is a great favourite with the
Viennese, was nearly smothered with wreaths and bouquets
on. Saturday, when she sang for the last time as Leonora in
the " Trovatore." The managers of the Vienna Opera-
house would fain have re-engaged the Hungarian star (the
Hungarian word "Csillag" means "star"), but her terms
were too high for them. If Mr. Gye should give Halevy's
"Juive " this season, the London public will find that
Madame Csillag is a great tragic actress as well as a first-
rate singer.
AN IMPROVEMENT ON THE INCOME-TAX.—It is
Stated in the last published series of reports from our con-
mils that in New Granada there is direct taxation, and the
citizen__. who cannot present a receipt for his quota is not
only debarred from voting, but cannot even be plaintiff in a
suit.
