1,,.x oprnA-Salvi achieved brilliant triumph
last night as Edgardo in the opera Of Lucia dc Lam
mermoor His entrance on every occasion was the sig
nal for most prolonged and deafening bursts of applause
The role is well calculated to show off his exquisite and
artistic of voice give full his chaste
vet forcibe acting In word he fully sustained his
high reputation artist both in his singing and his
acting We regretted to see Beneyentano yielding so
much to his great fault that of overorcing his voice He
should remember there is musical merit in
adaptation power of the voices around than
in attempting to eclipse by drowning others.
Bertucca, who made her debut as Lucia, is pleasing
actress with progressing appearance, but lacks too
many of the essential REQUESTS to rank high as
singer

Fnosr RIO GRAspE-We yesterday received through

thing of much Importance but we clip few items:
Mr.. W. T. Cake. who was taken prisoner the day after
the battle Of San Juan has been released by order OF
Oanales Hence some of the boys says he has turned
berator We believe the truth is that private reasons,
well public policy, dictated this Perhaps
it wise for Mexican general officers not to
reprsals and retalations. None Of these gentlemen
know how they may need the protection them
selves Canales is of this. He has lived in glass
house for time and he is manifesng disposition
to fix things SO that will throw stones at it.
In noticing the departure of Wheat and others for New
Orleans, the Rio Bravo says We happy to
that Avalos slept well the night after the busters left
for New0rleans and has continued to rest well since We
rather think it has nothing to do with it.
The Rio Bravo also has the following When Col Cruz
inspected Wheats old L. he said he would not fire it of
for all Mexico All Mexico however knows by this time
what Col Cruz's opinions worth.
We understand that Gen Canales has laid in his claim

by the Alcade of Camrgo who sets up the right of dis
covery.
