Our city is all agog, topsde turvy, upside down,
inside out and all about the Italian opera troupe,
from your city, which that prince Of impressarios,
Max Maretzek, has sent to regale US for few eve
nipgs. Max has done nobly in seconding the
enerprising Mr.. Barton, our Baltimore manager,
by sending to us, not the refuse OF his splendid
troupe. but all of them, in glorious succession To-
morrow night the opera season begins, with Verdi's
masterpiece, Ernani," with Truffi as Elvlra, and
Forti as Ernani The box office has been beseiged
all day. by the elite, as well as the yeomanry of
the land, purchasing box after box, not tor enc

Lucie" is TO be given, with Signora Bertucca
and Lorinl. "La Favorita," Pansma," "La
Sonnambula,"" II Giuramento," are to follow ia
succession. No opera Is TO be repeated, and the
excitement occasioned is tremenf ous. Pity it's
little theatre is little, for it thrice its
size, it would be crowded nightly. The ladies are
all deep in preparedness. Opera cloaks, hoods, aud
head dresses are in demand. and the calls upon the
florists, for bouquets, have been greater than
during the Lind mania. Jenny, of course every
one went to hear once; but second trial here, l
fear, would be too much fOr;our towns-people.
The proceeds of Jenny's four concerts in this
city amounted to $50 900, which amount was trans.
united by draft to New York by Barnum and Mss
Lnd's agent. Such an amount Of money abb
stracted from the amusement funds of citizens,
now their eyes are opened, has frightened them,
and the like will not occur again. Much desire is
expressed to hear Parodi-ihe great Parodi-and
il is hoped that Max will accede to the enormous
terms offered for her.
Sir William Don, the live baronet, is still here,
in all his tallness. he is great favorite with
everybody, and on Monday night he delighted our

performing IN the German language. BY Judges
he is pronounced to be perfect German scholar.
He is announced to give second German per-
torrance on Saturday next.
The Germana Band, composed of twenty.four
instrumental performers, are here for the season,
giving three concerts week, at Carroll Hall, the
beautiful saloon erected by our enterprsing towns
man, Josiah Lee, who, by the way, is now eur chief
banker and exchange broker in the city. He is
whole souled man. and enjoys the confidence of
the community.
Ovens Museum is doing. as usual, thriving
business, and is patronised by thousands who
visit theatres. Theatricals are on the rise here,
owing to the exertons of Mr.. Barton the manager of
our two theatres. l learn that he has engaged an
agent to go TO Europe in the spring, to select
good stock company, and also to secure " stars !"
for our people will have novelty, They do not like
old faces, although they may be pretty.
AT the end OF the opera season, Mr. Boxers

famous play, "Calaynos," which had run of up
wards Of one hundred nights in England, and is
now drawing crowded houses at the Walnut street
house, Philadelphia. Mr. Barton is determined to
give novelties, and those of the best kind. LEARN
Sir William Don has a new play in study, written
by distinguished New York play writer, expr ssly
for him. 1t is said to be burlesque on California
Uppertendom. Mr.. G.. Vandenhoff has been
giving readings of Shakespeare, Sheridan, and
Others, under the patronage Of several resident
Engishmen. His success is tolerable. To night
