actress, and a. q vocalist, carries away all
hearts; the Herald. Ns,cs, and Sunday Mer-
cnry-whose criticisms of her rendition of the
rolls Of Amina we have read-assurs us. Mad.
Marstxek and Miss Philips are both known to
the musical portion of the Federal Metropolis
q being unsurpassed here in their respective
professional walks. As for Miss Philips, We
do not hesitate to pronounce her the first Amer
ican-born opera singer that has 50 far appeared
upon an American stage. Her rendition of the
gipsey mother, in Trovatore, which thousand
around rs will remember, justifes MS in pro-
nouncing this judgment upon her artistic mer-
its. The male singers of the troupe are an.
known to us, except through the pens of critics,
which speak Of them in scarcely less enthusi-
astic terms than Of the ladies. Steiani and
Sbgrilia, the tsnors have created scarcely en-
thusissm nmong the Northern dilIetanti than
Madam easier. Ardavani is q remarkably
6ne buffo, while Senior easier is admitted to
be the best Figaro now on the stage in either
continent.
They open with "The Barber" We under
stand and with such cast as can be arranged
with this double troupe-Mad CASTER, as Ro-
sina; Gassier, as Figaro Gasparoni, a. Bar
tolo; Ardavani, as Don Basilio and with Mad
Casters introduction Of "Tbe Last Rose Of
Summer, in the music lesson scene--which
has been received with such furore of ap-
plause in New York, it IL not to be doubted
that their brief season here will be inaugurated
with triumph such as has heretofore been un-
known among us, as susceptible to musical in
fuences at the population of Washington is
proverbislly.
The ELECTION RETURNS received up to the
hour at which We 60 to press this afternoon are
too fragmentary to permit us to comment with
proper explanations on the results, mos. of
which are really yet as unknown here as yes
to-day morning. First election reports by
telegraph are we'll known to DO little more
than guesses or, in other words, as condensed
transcripts of the wishes of their authors, who
in nine cases out of ten of course wish the de-
feat of the Democracy. By tomorrow after
noon we will be able to single out many Of the
killed, wounded, or victorious. Hardly until
then with any degree Of certainty, which will
permit us to vouch for the correctness of our
opinions in the premises.
