The last foreign news brought by the Hibernia
steamer, and sent by all over the north and west
one day in advance, was deeply interesting to this
country, in every point Of view, but we believe the
next will be still more so. The termination OF
O'Connel's trial and its results and consequences
the probable issue of the great struggle IN the cot
ton market between the Liverpool Spectators and
the Manchester spnners-these will form the pronl-
nent points of the next intelligence, either by steam
er or packet ship.

THE ITALIAN OrEnA.-To-night Donizetti's beau
tlul and popular opera of Lucia di Lammermoor
will be produced for the first time at the ope-
ra house. From the extraordinary exertions made
by Mad'lle Borghese to give it full effect think
it will be the most popular opera of the season. 1t
is interspersed with several delightful arias and
Duets. On looking over some of our old Italian
files, we observe that Borghese was eminently sue
cessful in this opera, at the San Carlos theatre Ma
PIES in the early part of 1898, when she selected
on the occasion of her benefit. AS Lucia is
of her principal characters, it is probable she will
produce still greater sensation, and we would
commend an early application to the ticket Office.
Majocchi does not appear. Valtellina, as Lord
Ashton, and Perozzi, as the Knight Of Ravens
| wood will have an excellent opportunity of dis
covering their musical and acting powers. Antog-
mini was to have appeared as the Knight OF RAJ
venswood, but, in consequence'of his cold, he for
feits, it is said, $500. We shall miss the acting
| of Anognini, yet we have no doubt but Perozzi
will do it justice. We have seen several rehcar-
sails of this beautiful opera 1t is elegantly and eff
fectivey got up. 1t is founded on the same legend
on which Sir Walter Scott has written his popular
| novel of Ravenswood. Lord Ashton and Sir Ed
gard Ravenswood are the only two remaining men,
bers OF the ancient ana powerful iamlles OF WOOL
crag and Ravenswood; and with the characteristic
spirit of the feudal times, they maintain dead
| y hatred against each other, which had de-
scended to them from the founders of their
families Lord Ashton was wealthy, but Ra-
venswood had inherited an impoverished es-
tate. In the war between King William, OF
Scotland, and Mary, the foes are found ar
rayed against each other-Lord Ashton in the
ranks of the King, and the Knight supporting the
| claims Of Mary, who is victorious. To save his
life and retrieve the fortune of his house, Lord Ash
ton compels his sister, Lucy of Lammermoor, who
