CRISP S GAIETY.

Considering all the difficulties in The way Of ma
chnCry, SC, used in the representation Of the Opera
Of "CmderelLI," the performance has been very
crediable. Miss HoDsoN and Miss DURNED have,
in a measure recovered from their fatigue of trav-
els, bst still give evidences of over work. Ia the
grand Opera, it is rare for the leading singers o
perform on two consecutive nights and the labor
which falls on these ladies is entirely too much, and
II persisted in, will doubtless injure if nos utterly
destroy their vocal gifts in a very few years. Il is
particularly oueroUs to Miss HoDsoN, who sings
parts not written for her voice. BY the way. we
should ike exceedingly to hear Miss II. in Opera
written expressly for her. The middle notes Of her
register superb, aud satisfactory, that it is a
misfortune when she Is com elled by The score, to 90
above them, which always caettgs break in her
vocaiiz ItiOu, rather painful than pleasant to tie
hearers. In an Opera composed expressly for her
voice, these breaks would be care 'uIly ayoiIed.
Those not acquainted with music see this thing,
and attribute it fauluuess in the singer aud not
to her misfortune in singing music not suitable TO-
nor written for, her voice
