TIE N,aHrrNeALE OpERA TRoupE.-The

Niehtiu gales offer rich entertainment for the
amusement Of their numerous friends to night.
In addition to the usual variety of Eth opian
music and dancing, they will appear as cit-
zens, in white faces, and sing sever al beauti-
full pieces, among which we notice the dirge-
"Mourn not for Henry Clay"-5y KunkeI, and

pieces are to be sung, 10 which the W hole
troupe will put forth their full powers of melo-
DIV. There will be presented, also, a variety
of new dances. This rich programme has been
prepared for the benefit Of MIR. Geo. Kunkel,
the manager of the troupe. Mr.. Kunkel, as a
vocalist, is unexceptionable. His voice is d
barytone, unsurpassed in richness and COM

a piece which will call into exercise his best
musical powers. Give kunkeI bumper-he
deserves it.

man of business, wins the good opinion of

nightly greeted with full houses in Richmond.
