them, and that probably be will assume his orig-
nal position in the Italian Opera during the course
Of next week The last two nights Of the Opera
have been remarkably we'll attended, and proba-
bly it will continue so during the week. Next
week we will have selections from Pm-itani ana
Lucia di Lammermoor, in which Valtena will
make his app .arance in his original characters
and after that, we shall have La Sonnambala, in
which he will also take a part. We are very GLAD
TO see unity restored to this company, and with
Valtena 10 manage opera seria, and De Begins as
the manager of opera bps6a, we have no doubt all
will go on charmingly. great many strangers
are daily arriving in the city, and this season
has every chance of being still more productive
than the last
In the meantime, we observe that there is some
Encouragement between the two theatres-we
mean Palmo's and the Park-with respect to the
nights on which opera is produced. 1t seems that
the same nights have been selected by both. This
contre-temps did not, however, originate, as we
learn, with Palmo's, whose arrangements were first
made, but was voluntarily adopted by the Park
The error should, however, be corrected, SO That
those who wish it,may have an opportunity OF hear
ing the Italian company one night at Palmo's, and
the Seguins at the Park on the next, without deny
ing themselves on any occasion the pleasure VI lis
tening to either.
We hear of variety OF movements in relation to
opera The remarkable success OF Palmo has stmu-
lated great many new enterprises in relation to
the importation of operatic troupes from Europe.
De Begins, in connection with Palmo, is, we I'M
derstand, engaged in getting up subscription for
this purpose, and so also is Signor Martini. Even
Mr.. Simpson, of the Park, has been excited into
similar movement and he has issued during the
last week, to some of the fashionable families o.
the city, the following CIRCULAR

In somerespects Mr.. Simpson is an excellent
manager, and he is very honorable man, but we
doubt his enterprise and tact in such an enterprise
as the collection and arrangement OF such troupe
He has been once or twice to Europe without eff
fecting much in the way of theatrical novelties
However, if hescan succeed in this project, we
shall be very happy to second it. All these move
ments indicate clearly enough that there are at
present abundant materials for the establishment
here Of an Italian opera of the best quality, and
ballet of the most fascinating description. The
rivalry of Pamo and Simpson may affect the in
teress of BOTH but cannot diminish the increasing
passion for the opera One thing, only, we would
add, and that is word of advice to Mr.. Simpson,
that if he 60 to Europe he will not, as former
| occasion, say anything to induce the belief that
theatrcals were in wretched condition here.
