THE OPERA HousR.-This is the last even
ing of the engagement of Mrs. Howard ana
MIR, Watkins; and while we feel satished
that the house would be full without word
from Us, we cannot Lev them leave us with'
out line of commentator. We had heara
much of Mrs. Charles Howard as aR artistic
and expected much OF her We have only
90 say that we have not been disappointed;
she has fully come up to our expectations
even gone beyond them-and we most cheer
faljy endorse her as the most talented little
woman in her roles we have ever seen.
MIR. Watkins came among us stranger,
asd did he not po..Sess merit as an actor, is
entitled to much consideration for his talent
as Dramatist, and to his ready pen are we
indebted for some of the most popular plays

which may be assigned them.
The conveniences and appliances for exc
outing work there are of the most ample
Kind. and in no particular inferior to any
other naval establishment in the county
We are free to say that any work which
cau be done elsewhere can be executed at
the Gosport Navy Yard. For this reason
our workingmen should never be without
q DAVIS work. Our mechanics are as good
IS the best, and should always be employed.

designate@ . neither garment worn by our
