June to the end of August, there were several bril-

mountaineers in the northern part of Daghestan, in
which our troops, always victorious, manifest the
most heroic bravery. The results of this campaign
thews that the foreign journals, which stated the con-

f„e, will mention only the action of the
of Goloroin, which was attacked on the
The of July by a body of 3,000 mountaineers.

I3RURY-LANE THEATRE.
re!' these degenerate days it is rarely our lot to
rd the hundreth representation of any dramatic
[is:7e. To have to record the hundreth representa-
N 4 ef, an opera by a native composer is something
sueir"7 unique. Since the days of the Duenna
the Dcircumstance has never occurred, and
thanle a is, after all, rather a vaude-
an opera, and although many
" the ,
nain: airs are original compositions by Linly, the
.„,,;"',lltY of the songs are merely adaptations of new
speaking,-r to previously popular airs, so that, strictly
n., the Duenna is not an opera by a
tc"ve composer. Last night, however, the opera—
was Eltg lish opera —of the Bohemian Girl,
rePeated for the hundredth time at Drury-lane.,
and Balfe, the man whose genius has achieved this
IlllPh, again appeared in the orchestra to conduct
own composition, • His reception was most
enthusiastic. Notwithstanding the unfavourable
state of the weather, the house was crowded
In every part, and his appearance in the
orchestra was the signal for a burst of applause so
long, so loud, and so enthusiastic, that the walls of
Old Drury rang again, as they have not done since
the days of Edmund Kean. At the end of each act
this enthusiastic greeting was renewed, and when at
the fall of the curtain he appeared on the
"'ago, in obedience to the call of the audi-
Ze, cheer followed cheer in quick succession.
ntil the enthusiasm reached its climax, when Miss
j!sinforth presented him a laurel wreath, which had
(leren thrown upon the stage. Never did English
Bever
composer enjoy a greater triumph; and
~over has there appeared an English dramatic corn
'ser more richly deserving of it. At the conclusion
