The OPERA. MAX MARETzEK had
crowded houses during the afternoon and evening
Yesterday and must have Melted FIVE or SIX thousand
dollars. We were not able to see Norma, but hear
great things of the performance of that character by
Madame De Yries, from the most competent critics
she was received with the utmost cordially by the
audience As 10 the PurltGEi, We can iestifythat 1t
was admirably rendered. We have never before
heard it so perfectly sung in this country BoSlos
Soareygia uezz0sa was delicious, and her 2a Ia cocs
most touching and beautiful, even with Jenny Lind's
incompatible singing Of It lingering IN the MIND
The fair singer every way one of the greatest favor
ties ever the stage IN this City, wasreeaLed
again and again after this song. While she was
singing it, some score Of bOquets were flung to her
and Marin busted himself going about the stage and
picking themup, a piece Of polteness well enoughn

occasion. The great duet sgoa' Ia tr0m1a was mag
nifcent. Marin seemed almost TO forget himself IN
the glorious enthusiasm Of the music, and Badlalis
rich voice and manly style were never more success
fully called into action Salv, too, sang with great
spiril and with that mastery usage OF his powers IN
which he has superior Altogether the perform
ance was great triumph, and we hope to hear the
opera several time with this cast. We cannot an'lci'
pate hearing it with better
During the afternoon Mr. Maretzek unexpect-
edy received the present on elegant silver drinking
service from the Artists Of his Company. After the
second act of the Pritanhe called out and made
neat speech, full of feeling, which was warmly re-
ceived by the audience Among other things he re-
his arrival in this country.

but make valuable paper The DAILY Times
promises to be decidedly conservative IN its tone
IN the discussion of POLITICAL social and other cues
lions but not 70 be the organ OF any party or sect
We cordially welcome this addition to Our daily press
The COLLINS PLATE.-The magnificent
| gold plate service, of which We gave description
some weeks since was presented to Mr.. Collins on
the Goth ult as will be seen by the letters which we

corner of Broadway and Murray-st This firm have

The Collins plate is a magnificent production
