low, Signor Attillio Valtellina, Is determined to
be the death Of US. He has Just published another
" Circular" infinitely more amusing than the for
mer, and has almost split our sides with laughter.
Mixed up, however, with the fun, there is good
deal of malignant abuse Of Paine, whom he repre-
sents as the incarnation of everything mean and
dishonorable. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
the character and reputation Of Mr.. Palmo, based
upon upright and irreproachabIe life of quarter
of century in this city, are not in much danger
from the petty assaults OF such person valte-
lima. This funny circular has the following unique
and exceedingly witty heading

IIa, ha, ha! We are really sorry that we must
lose the Sgnor ValtellIna. tits the most amusing
thing in the world to observe the antics of these
Italians when they get into the free atmosphere of
this country. 1t operates on them like the "laugh-
ing gas;'' but their capers are perfectly harmless
In Italy they would be clapped into prison if they
cut up such capers, buthere, only laugh at them
In the meantime, while Valtelina is thus dis
charging his bile and setting the city in roar, the
new arrangements have been completed and the
first rehearsal will take place on Monday next, OF
the popular opera OF the Barbiere de Sepiglia.-
We understand that great unanimity and harmony
prevail in the present company, and that we have
the prospect of very brilliant though brief season,
for is said that only twelve representations will be
given, all, however, of the first rate kind of opera
buffo We also see from Embarrassment published
by Sgnor Palmo, that meeting OF the friends Of
the Opera will take place at the Opera House on
Monday evening, at o'clock, for the purpose OF
filling up the subscription list. We have no doubt
that there will be full attendance on this occasion
of the real patrons OF the Opera throughout the
city With such beautiful Opera House, and all the
''means and appliances forsecuring the permanent
prosperity of the Opera amongst us, its friends are
left without excuse if they do not do their duty
But that they will do it we cannot doubt. So let
all go tomorrow evening and fill up the list at
once.
