• MASQUERADE AT THE OPERA HOUSE.—The best we
have had this season I f these diversions, was that given
on Friday night at the above Theatre. In point of
numbers it was most decidedly superior, and in respec-
tability of visitors it had gained much. There was mo. e
spirit among the characters—more entertainments t:f-
forded the observers. and less of disturbance than on
many occasions. The glee singers added much to the
general effect; and the wines were above all praise.
