APPLAUSE EXTRAORDINARY.

WE have often heard Of the great triumphs of Jen.

of the enthusiasm with which they inspired their
hearers, Of listening audiences under the magic nu.
ence Of their vocal powers rising unconsciousy from
their seats, rendered frantic it were, by The sweet
accents which fell from their divine lips But never
have we seen hear read Of such signal success as
that of Madame HENRIETTA SoNTAG, at Munich.
This celebrated Prima Donna, while performing the
part of Amina, in Sonnambula, was called for not
less than twenty times, amidst the most phrensied
applause and enthusiastic braves. During the palmy
days of Roman splendor and magnifcence, while the
pantomme was in the greatest stale of perfection, the
delighted spectators "turned their thumbs upward"
says Gibbon, "eleven times in honor of the great
actor S'ilichius." Madame SoNrAG, however, was
enco:ed nine times more than the ancient and with
much greater applause than any Cantatrice in mo-
dern times.
