THE ITALIAN OPERA.-lf anything was enjoy
able in such heat as we had last night 1t was the
music Of La Semiramide-and that was barely SO.
II was, however the last right Of tue Company AZ
Astor Place, which was good reason for braving
the solstice. We are to hear the voices OF Stella
uoni, Boso, Marin, salvi and Badiali again before
they take their final departure-wnich is some con-
ISOLATION for the present privation.
The PIANIST STRAKOscH.-We were no less
surprised than delighted the other night in recogni'
zipg among the listeners to La Semtdmtde our
friend sTRAKoscH, who had just arrivedfrom New
Orleans, via St. Louis and Louisville During bis
absence from our city be has given concerts through
the South and in all the principal cities OF the Island
of Cuba with great success. We understand that
he is at present engaged on the music Of new
opera He will spend part Of the Summer with
Maretzek at his cottage at Clifton, Staten Island
We hope to hear again. before many weeks some
OF bis own beautiful compositions, executed on his
favorite instrument.
ONE CONSCIENCE LEFT.-ln the Board OF ASSIST
ants last night, Assistant Aid. Ackerman, OF the
Eighth Ward offered resolution to repeal the
law allowing payment TO the members Of the Com
mon Council The representative OF the Eighth is
unwilling to vote for the restoration OF the Tea,
and at the same time hang on to the 81 per day
There is, then, slight shadow Of conscience yet
left, which we hope will have the effect Of stopping
the outrage contemplated and TO the extent Of their
power perpetrated by the Alderman. Should any
Of these municipal tea-driukers get hoisted into
Congress we may expect a proposition that the
House of Representatives board at Gadsby's dur.
ing the session and send the bill TO Uncle Sam.
GONE HoME.-The visiting Fire Companies from
Philadelphia returned home in the evening train
yesterday. They were escorted to the boat by q
detachment of our iremen, aud departed with the
warmest expressions Of satisfaction at the manner
in which they had been entertained while in the
metropolis We doubt not that they are fully sat
Isle that New-York is any distance ahead OF Phil
adephia in noise and confusion, in plenty OF wa
ter and scarcity Of fires.
SHORTENING THE VOYAGE TO BosToS.-It
seems, from q remembrance against such action in
tie Board OF Assistants, that some smart people
have proposed to shorten the voyage TO Boston by
getting municipal law to locate all the landing
places Of the Steamers navigating the Sound, above
Grand at. on the East River. 1t is expected that
the authors Of this proposition will next apply for
for law to compel the + fulton Ferry boats to land
at Bellevue, for the purpose Of preventing crowd
around the Market. Both projects will undoubted-
" pass as soon as the Aldermen finally give up the
tea room.
THE DRoMIos BARNUM.--The Nep- Orleans Pic
oyune, in recording the advent Of the Rochester
| Knock ers" in New.York says, that Barnum, the
most ndefatigable and successful hunter Of hum.
bugs, to say nothing of his skill in the manufacture
of the original article, has made an engagement
with them for his NewYork Museum" Now be
it known unto the Picayune and unto all those 9th
ers that sit in rkness in the Valley Of the Missis
sippi that there be two Barnuns in this great
town-the one worldfamed for drawing novelties
| and quarters TO bis museum-the other for drawing
wayfarers and sojourners TO his hotel the one fill
ing the brain with queer rotions, the other filing
the stomach with good cheer the one famous for a
Midas faculty oftrsnsmuting whatsoever he touches
to gold, the other as renowned for Aladdin. like
Transformation Of a hotel into palace-and both
particularly notorious for taking in strangers. Be
it known that the Barnum of tastes, and not the
Barnum Of sights caught the strange Fish thai
make so many surprising hits in the spiritual way
that the Hotel, and not the Museum, is the house
! OF the Rappists. We imagine that the Barnum o.
sights will never bob for the strange Fish now in
the net Of his Damesake, for he-the Barnum-is
too consistent, too thorough going teetotaller to
take spirits in any shape Beside that the impress
sion is pretty general that the raPpers are hum

CANNON can find place in the American Museum.
