As Election returns from the Anti-Rent region
Last night there were reasonable indications Of
snow but the ftiul and chsngeable wind was too
boisterouS permit any aspect Of the clouds to con
tnue long enough for facts to justify appearances
People who are nece ssary much out of doors enjoy
in these breezy days the pleasure Of taking at every
teI4sh step cpious shower-bath OF dust, fine pull
verlzed granite &C., which penetrates every pore
and organ With all the subtleness OF air II has been
suggested that the Introduction OF stree!-sweepmg
would tend to relieve the peoples lungs from this
mural load, but that custom (which is said to have
prevailed here many years aso) is evidently obso
lete.
The OPERA-A splendid performance of
La Favorita" last night. Sefanone, Badiaii, Bet
TIM the Chorus, the Orcestra-all surprisingly fine
and Civ Ing unrip.iod eetisfsction to a crowded and
fashionable audience We hardly expected, from
the attraction at Trpler Hail. to see so full house
but there was scarcely any perceptble dimnution
from the attendance at the first performance. We
hail this as as cheering omen OF the Winter sue
cess of our charming Opera. Though all was I'M
commonly good there were still some shining points
in the Opera. Stefanone, In the solo commencing
"Fia dunQue vero,' completely electnhed the audi
ence The sudden inflow OF enthusiasm to her per.
formance took everybody by surprise, and produced
no little sensation in the house. The dueu De-
ween Be,tini and Badiall, IN the course OF which
Fernando hufs sword and decoration at the feet
of the King, was highly dramatic and not only
well sung but uery well acted. What finished
and every way charming singer Is Badiaii, 10 De
sure There 5 something so inceScri6a0ly' noble
ard high-bred, and gentlemanllke IN his style
As to make him, indsputably, the most agree
able singer Of this or any other stage Ana theh
Bettni how he reoices IN his young strength It's
A Measure 10 hear him, though with such wear-and-
tear of voice, his powers must fail him long before
he gets to be such veteran IN the service as is Badi
all. We consider this rlch bartone-sound and fresh
and vigorous as Its style is remarkable case OF ne
Ccal preservation.
The orchestra played carefully and well. The
performers are all German, the Italian part OF the
instrumental troupe being with Boso and the rest
Of the company In Baltimore. New hands (many OF
which we suspect are IN the orchestral play always
better than old ones, who get gradually indifferent
ard careless.
We beg TO impress upon all our musical readers,
that a better musical troupe than that which Maret-
zek has now gathered this side of the water cannot

troupe must bring It out.
