terminated the engagement of those clever artists
and established iavorites, the Seguins, at the Park
1t was Mr. Seguin's benefit, and though the attrac-
'ion was great, and the beneficiary worthy of a
crowded house, II was but slim affair. The inju.
dlcious raising of the prces--the bad management
of playing on the same nights as the Italian CON-
pany-and the overwhelming popularity just now
of Italian opera-operaed sadly against the success
of the English troupe. Mr. Macready succeeds
the Seguins, appearing tomorrow night as Hamlet.
AT Palmo's Opera House all is success fashion,
elegance, and triumph. Tomorrow night, La
Sonnanblla is to be represented, and of course
there will be brilliant and crowded house. The
company is now very strong, and the permanence
Of the opera is no longer matter Of speculation.

ANOTHER MUSICAL WoNDER.-Liszt, the greatest
pianist living, has made full arrangements for visit
ing the United States. His secretary will be here
next month, and prepare the way for his arrival in
October He is destined to create great sensa-
ton in this country, and produce musical mania
at least equal to that OF last fall.
Ever since Fanny Essler's visit to this country,
all artists of eminence in the various departments
of music, the drama, the fine arts in Europe, have
looked to this country sort of Ell Dorado The
accounts of her astonishing success, excited the
most exravagant ideas respecting the riumphs and
rewards which likely awaited them here, and their
imaginations have been filled with hopes as bril-.
liant and almost as well-founded as the clown who
expected to find the streets of London paved with
solid gold However, after ALL this is the great
harvest-feld ofgenune merit in the higher depart
ments Of art, and especially Just now, in music
And certainly it cannot be doubted that young,
interesting, and possessed of extraordinary genius,
as he is List has brilliant career before him in
this country.

policy to keep silence. The :. natural allies

curse Mr. Adams in their hearts, while they never
