MAD'LLE PARoDI's CONCERT, at the EXCHANGE
Tonight will unquestionably afford the lovers of
delicious music rare treat. She will be assist.
ed on the occasion by Signorin Patti, Miska Hau
ser, and NJ. Strakosch. We deem it entirely
unnecessary to allude to the merits of these dis
tlngulshed artistes-they have been heard and we
know are justly appreciated by the citizens of
Richmond.
The programme comprises gems from tho most
popular operas, interspersed with fayorite comma.
sltlons by Iauser ard S;rakosch. The GRAND
duetto from Norma, rendered by Signorpas
Parodl and Patti, will make lasting impression
upon all lovers of delicious music. This troune
by far the most talented in the country, it will ba
perceived, have aced the price of admission at
only $l-one~ third less than was CHARGED at tho
Theatre last season during the engagement of
tho same rtises. This abatement, however, the
reader will readily perceive, does not argue any
depreciation in the merits of the performers-it
only shows that the price then charged was TOO
high. The room selected for the entertainment
being utterly incapable Of holding all who are
anxious again to hear the delicious notes of the
"Queen of tragic OPERA" those DESTROYS of Sc
curing pleasant seats should 60 early.

the mode adopted by Congress of disposins Of The
public lands Large tracts are continually appria-
rated to the construction of railroads, canals or
other public objects in the States, whilst not

may be their necessities. This is unfair Most of The

cluded from participation in the distribution? We can.
no, see the propriey OF the distinction made as the
public lands were acquired at the expense of the old

recognized; but practically it is abandoned This is
wrong committed on the old States which should
