Sign0r Loraiis a good tenor. The compass OF
his voice $ extensive II IS Gear IN tone and power
fall bu, it IS defcien; in pathos it IS Incapable OF
those artistic touches, those sensible mutations OF
the voice which touch a responsive chord IN the
heart Of every hearer. In passages Of power or
strong passion he IS excellent, bat in the express
sion of the softer emotions he fails utterly. He IS
a well nade. handsome man, and acts with much
sniri, Were he to strive less, and altogether alb
/ inre cadenzas and ornaments he would be more
successful.
/ .Signor C0rrGd. S,Hi IS a most pleasing Bari
tone. but we wish to hear him in something more
WORTHY Of his powers before we pass Judgment
upon him fairly.
/ OF the many excellent subordinate artists, both
male and female, we must give our unqualified ap-
proval They add air Of perfection to the whole
which S truly gratifying to lovers Of perfect keep
ing There is not member of the company as
far as We have yet seen who IS below mediocrity'
which is a tac, az known In our regular Opera
Companies.
The chorus in point OF power is very great they
sing IN perfect tune with power, energy and spirit
The female voices are not very pleasing-nere and
there harsh voices predominate but the male
voices are magnificent and their singing IS worthy
OF their lusty lungs 1t is areally fine chorus.
The Band now demands our attention. Il IS
n good Band, but it is not equal The yiollns are
admirable. indeed We should include the whole
If the strin-ed instruments in that remark. They
play clearly. neatly, and with force and emphasis
The wind instruments are coarse, loud, and want
ing in finish They fare far inferior to our usual
opera wind band Indeed, although there IS a
great amount of precision in the orchestral perform
ances. there IS total want Of delicacy, artistic
shading or dramatic effect 1t IS not the fault Of the
artists. but il rests with the leader whose public
performances were never remarkable tor feeling or
sentiment The Orchestra, ON the whole, IS unsat
lsiactory. it wants the presence OF ateehng musical
mind to direct its operations Bouesia' is there.
10 be sure and he is a host in himself but he can
not DO more than play.
The scenery has hitherto, except IN Lucrezla
Borsia. been detestable We trust, however
that On that score We shall have 40 more cause for
complaint The Manager has had plenty OF time
TO get together the proper appointments, and We
nope to see the pyoPreties OF date and location
attended to in future.
On Monday evening, Donizettis masterpiece,
La Farorifq, viii be produced for the debm OF the

Miss KIMBERLY SHAKSPEARiAN REDlNGs.-
This truly accomplished lady, who has given Read
inss from Shakespeare with great success during
the past Winter in the principal Southern cities,
commences a course at the Stuyyesant Institute
on Monday evening next when she will read the
play OF Romeo and Juliet. She has ELECTED the
warmest applause for her dramatic representations
from the most discriminating critics at the South
and now comes before a New York audience with
scch claims as create strong prepossessIon IN her
favor. Miss Kimberly We understand IS a native
Of Connecticut and has never witnessed the per.
formance Of any Of Shakspeares plays on the
stage. The success which has attended her
efforts is due to her native genius and instructive
sense of the spirit Of the immortal bard. We nave
no doubt that she will command friendly recep
ton. and apprecatve criticism from the taste and
intelligence OF New-Iork.

uissioners Of Tax was reconsidered, and the

vides that persons shall be taxed on their personal
property in the city or town in which their princi
pal business IS transacted without reference TO
their residence.
