We hope that oar musical readers are mark
ing the progress Of CAROLINE DUFREz, the daagh'
ter OF the famous French tenor and the only
promising singer ofthe moment. She has achieved
complete success in London and we keep up our
bulletin OF her progress, by the following notice
Of Der Amiaa in Belinis Sonnanbus, which ex-
presses the universal feeling Of her success
Last night Mademoisele Daprez appeared as
ANNA in LA Sonnsmbula a character well
suitsd to her. and in which she gained the great
est success that she has yet obtained. Ii is hardly
necessary TO say thst she looked the part per
fect|y and though il demands feeling and pas
sion, yet it never rises, like Lucia, to pitch of
trseic intensity beyond the powers OF an actress
so youDg as Mdle Duprez. There were no
striking or remarkable points in her acting il
was intelligent, quiet, and gentle; and, in the
principal scenes, exceedingly pathetic. As in
Der other parts, her singing was superior to her
acting. AS a dramatic performer she has still
much TO learn from time and experience; as a
vocal performer she is already en- accomplished
artist. The opening air " Come per me sereno,'
may almost be called perfect performance
every phrase was given with the most exquisite
delicacy and finish. and with a charming express
sion Of tranquil happiness. The final air, too,
"Ah, non giunge," was most brilliantly executed,
and was truly, what il 10 intended TO be, beau
tiful burst of passionate Joy. In one part of her
defect was more of dramatic than musical
kind. In the sleep walking scene. when ANNA
descends from the mill, her singing was too much
drGke. Her voice wss too clear, her accents TOO
marked her execution too elaborate aud It was
impossible to imagine so careful a Performance

the sleeping girl On the whole however Mile.
Duprez Amind ia very delightful aud was felt
TO be so by the audience, who were enthusiastic
in their applause.
Another Journal say more enthusiastically:
The Responding passages in the subsequent
act were delivered with exquisite plalntiveness
but the sleep-walking scene was the triumph par
exealeRce. MRdemoisells Duprez in the couSe Of
this one scene evidenced, even more unmlssakaoly
than before, the ncalculable value ofthe large aud
noble manner which she has acquired. She pro-
duced effect upon effect by the most lawful exer-
tions Of musical power and scorning even the
semblance of trickery and continuance, carried
the audience with her in way which LETT the
most fsstidious no arrftre peaSes-no excuse for
feeling dissatisfied that they had been beguiled
ofther applause by mere artitice. twas sound,
healthy, legitimate singing which it was pleas
ure to hesr, and which it Is duty TO note. Toe
brilliant All non giunge" was enchantingly
delivered, and was perfect carol OF girish love
and delight sparkling with ornament, but soteened
by shade Of tenderness This effort elected
from the house q stormy manifestation OF gratlti'
cation, and Mdlle. DupreZ, who bad twice before
appeared before the curtain, came forward for
the third time, in the white night dress OF Amlnd,
to receive the plaudits OF the audience. But this
was not sufficient. On her retiring the finale was
unanimously redemsnded, after which Mdlle. Du'
PREF was summoned to the footlights Tor the

-AUBER's MasanielL0 had been produced at
both the Opera Houses in London. The Queen
attended at the Royal Italian on the opening
night, where the work OF the genial and melodl-
Gus French master was adequately represented
At her Majestys however, 1t was the occasion
of the debut OF Mdlle. Mont, who was heralded
as the finest pantomimist in Italy. Her success
complete, and passing by prolonged and
discriminating notice OF her, select the follow
ing: bsdemoselle Mont, who appeared az
FeRellG, justified her reputation OF being the finest
pantOmime actress now on the stage. We never
saw the poor dumb girl so beautifully represented.
Her looks and gestures spoke the most eloquent
language and were so instinct with mind, that
lin the words Of the old poet) il almost seemed
as if her body thought" And, again, from an
other source, TO show the unanimisy OF the inn
preston: ITO Mdlle Mont, therefore, belongs
the rare merit Of elevatng the pure mimic role
from the traditional and passlonless common
place which has hitherto marked it, 10 the highest
standard Of histronic art. We gladly hail her ad-
vent as noting new in this department OF
dramatic personRtiOn. She acts from and TO the
heart from the easy grace of the early scenes, to
catastrophe not one phase OF the character lack
ed words for its presentment. The simple and
truthful tale which she told her brother OF her
love and its holinesS-of her marriage and it's
sanctity-wss given with ervor and force
which no language but chat of Shakespeare could
