New York has run mad because of "Barbe Bleue."
Mr: Mapleson has taken the Academy of Music for the fall
and winter, and will commence his grand opera season on
the 15th October, with Titiens and Kellogg as prime donne.
The former is to receive $5,000 a month, the latter $3,500;
Demerie Lablache, $1,600 ; Bultermi, $2.000 ;
$1,200, Santlev $2,200, Foli $1,600, and Arditi $2,000, the
payments all to be in gold. Signor Foli, the celebrated
basso, was formerly a resident at Hartford, Connecticut,
when he was plain Mr. Foley. These salaries are large, but
not extravagant, when we are told that Mdlle. Patti's benefit
before her marriage realized £1,200. M. Louis Leroy cal-
culated that each note she sung on the occasion realised lid.
Booth will open with the -" Winter's Tale." Owen Mar-

Harris is to open Covent Garden Theatre at Christmas wits
a pantomime by Mr. H.J. Byron. The subject is " Robinsot
Crusop," which is to be treated after an entirely new fashion.
Alice Kingsbury is to quit the stage to study as a sculp-
tor. The Worrel Sisters go to Troy for a brief season of
burlesque. The Spirit says :—" Col. Fitzgerald's new play
" Wolves at Bay," has been secured by Mrs. John Drettr
and will be produced at the Arch. The play is said to be Fitz•
gerald's best by those who have seen the manuscript, and at
his "Light at Last" was a flattering success throughout
all the large cities, we may reasonably expect an un-
usually good American play. James Taylor, a comfit
singer from London, with a band of London concert
people, gives au entertainment at Dodworth's Hall. 3111 e.
Nilsson has just purchased a lot upon the Avenue di
l'Empereur, at the corner of the Rue de Morny, Pis'

The debut of a third Patti is expected this winter at On
Italian Opera, Paris. Madame Amelia Strakosch, nth
Patti, the anticipated debutante, is said to be the possessor.

laide-place, London-bridge, and at the National Bank, "
Old Broad-street, or any of its branches, and the smountl

Ju ige-Advocate General Holt has replied
General Dyer's demand for a court-martial, that the
sn
stance of the charges being more than two years old 15
barred by the 88th Article of War, and the smaller offence
not thus beyond the limit are of too trivial a nature, therc",
fore as General Dyer cannot be tried on the Prifleii),:l
matter he ought not to be tried on the less3r. Gen?:o
Dyer, in answer, asserts that the two years of lirnit3Ll'reo
must begin with the discovery of the crime, and the:clew

tried.
