ITALIAN OPERA.-We never saw more brilliant
array of lovely faces, more enthusiasm, and
greater lavi hness of applause, than last evening
Everybody got 'share-Valtellina Perozzl, Dor.
CHEESE but the latter got the hons share in the
shape Of braves and bouquets, which were not kept
back till the end of the performance, usual, but
were thrown at the close of the finale of the second
act. She really asonished every body with her
grace, taste, and brarou,e. Her soto voce was
clear, pure, full, and her notes fell like row OF
splendid pearls and diamocds She was very ably
seconded by Perozzi and Vaellina. who was well
received. This he gracefully acknowledged by
his condescendng to be in good health and spirits
1t is to be expected that he will no more vent his
anger against his patrons, who always have petted
and distinguished him, because they forgot one
| evening to applaud him. On Wednesday evening
he at least gave us good specimen OF his power
actor whose greatest art consists IN producing
fictitious, physical, or mental prostratlon, "ad
| ina glnem matirG." 1t is impossible to .personl
| ficate bodily sickness with greater Semblance OF
truth--the anguid gait-the monchalonee Of his
| down-hanging arms-the velled notes, the husky
voice, the depressed eyelids-n word, all the
| symptoms of obstinate cold were initiated with
the pencil OF master hand, so that we, with the
| whole audience, were induced 10 believe in his
sacrificing himself to his great desire of not disap
pointing the numerous ditettanti with posponal OF
the opera.
At all events, Valtellina has presented NC with p
splendid pattern of the mysteres de co,isses, and
we sincerely hope that he will in future recollec;
that he is in republican country, where no dsspo-
| tism ia any shape is tolerated, and where we dc
not PROSTATE ourselves before the royal scepre Of
fair and charming Princesse dc Theatre, much less
when 1t is welded bya whlskered prince.
