MJTSIC AND THE DRAMA.

Miss AvoNIA JONES is still playing at the Holiday
Street to excellent houses, with evident profit to
the management, and great satisfaction to the
audiences. Tonight she appears Bianco in the
'1talian Wife," On Friday, she took benefit in
the "Bride of Lammermoor," which piece was
repeated the next night with the same cast A
critique upon her performance in this play is in
consequence of the press of other matter in to days
issue, unavoidably postponed until tomorrow.
Miss ADELAIDE PHILLIPS sings in concert this eve
ming, at the New Assembly Rooms She is said to
possess fine contralto voice, of great richness and
compass, and high cultivation. She will be assisted
by Mr.. CHARLES ELLIOTT, violinist of some reputa-
ton, also by KLIEN, SzEMELENYI, SCHEIDLER, and
others.
The next musical event of the week will be the
Italian Opera. On Thursday night, at the Front
Street, GAzzANIGGA and CARROLL will make their
first appearance before a Baltimore audience.
BRIGNoLI and AMoDIo we have had here before. The
opera will be La Trauiata selection, which in
spite of the supposed wicked plot of this naughty
opera,-nay, perhaps in consequence of that very
fact, will ensure an overfCwng house. More upon
this subject anon.

EDITORS OF THE DAILY EXCHANGE:
GENTs.-I wish to direct your attention to Marine
Insurance Offices The public are heavy losers by
them during series of the past ten years, and you
would do the community service by an exposition.
| allude more particularly to the schemes called
Mutual.
They start with a capial of say $4,000, (small
enough in all conscience )they get through the first
year, we will say, by good fortune, and make no
losses. This would soon ledeem them from diff
cultes; but they declare Utmost dividend of
some 10 per cent, and thus, instead of adding to
their capital annually decrease it, and when loss
comes they are utterly unable to stand it.
Another evil on the SAM subject exists, and that
is the fact that responsible rich even lend their
names to the scheme, leading the unsuspectng to
believe they are liable for any deficiencies that may
occur Noting can be more erroneous, for if loss
exceedins the capital of the so-caed Mutual Insur
ance Office be made, the insurers discover to their
great surprise that the Directors are only liable for
a certain amount, and thus the public are gulled.
l. sufferer can speak painfully to these truths
and think you would do the community service by
enlightening them.
