New York has lost Ole Bull, Ristor', and Parepa. Tb'
latter will returu from tJalifornia in November, and give
series of concerts, assisted by a troupe which will include
Levy, the wonderful cornet player, who appeared with
Parepa on her first tuur in America. Miss Jenny Lands"
man, tho contralto singer, who accompanied Ole Bull on
his tour a few weeks since, will soon go to Europe, to per"
sue her musical studios.

Metropolitan Theatre in Buffalo, now under the manag3-

" it is rumoured that Miss Sophie Worrell has had a for-
tune loft her by a deceased friend.

on the inside and Theodore Moss on the outside of the
theatre.

" On Monday night ' The Stranger' inaugurated a week
of really meritorious drama, Rose Eytinge as Mrs. Haller.

and Faces,' with Miss Eytinge again as Peg Woffington.

mystical Der Freischutz.'
" On Monday night, June 8, was to be produced in Nor
York, with a wealth of magnificent accessories, and after
an unlimited outlay of money, a new and original play bi
Daly, entitled A Flash of Lightning.' The sensation.--
for of course there is a sensation—will be ate sinking of ft
steamboat in real water, with real steam up, and real pas-
sengers, to be really drowned. The Chauncey Vibbard
has been secured by the courtesy of John Davidson, ala
fifteen minutes after leaving the dock a real gong will b 3
sounded for a real supper. Tho admission to all this
reality ought to be one real to be perfectly harmonious•
If the new piece attains the success of Under the Ga
light,' Mr. Daly may congratulate himself upon producing
the two most popular pieces of the day.
" The contemplated changes in the Fifth Avenue
Theatre are now in progress, and the fall season will
bring into line a new and elegant establishment for the
presentation of popular and attractive drama. The names
which we have heard associated with the management
are of high standing in the theatrical profession, and of
themselves almost a certain guaranty of success.
