MUSIT AND TILE DRAMA

Public expectation is just now very much excited
about the advent to this city, of the celebrated
PIocoLoMINI, whose first appearance has been an
nounced for tomorrow night 1t is true we have
heard many murmurings of regret and some ex-
pressions of down right dissatisfaction on account
OF what some persons are pleased to call slight,
offered to Baltimore in our not having the entire
opera troupe brought here, to afford us the same
delightful entertainment that has been given
in New York, at the Academy of Music
But we are quite sure that there is not
an individual in the community who will forego
the pleasure of hearing PIccoLoMrN1 sing,
merely because the opportunity is not vouchsafed
to witness her performance of Violetta, Lucia Ter
Ina Laerezo and other leading roles in which she
is said to be unrivalled as an actress We think
indeed, that Baltimoreans can have no reason to
grumble at any discrimination against them
until they shall have shown public spirit and
enterprise enough to build and support such
Theatre as may attract, at all times, the first ar
fists in the -country-both musical and dramatic
The question of the birth and family connections
of the young Italian Cantatrice, which has exer-
cised New Workers so much, will, we per-
suaded, have little effect upon peo-
pie. The Concert Hall will be crowded, and
every one will delight afterwards to talk of PFC
coLoMINIs voice. of her pretty figure of the pleas
ant expression of her counenance, of the charming
nairete of her manner, and of all the qualities, both
natural and artistic, that have contributed TO her
success as Prma Donna. But not many of her
auditors will care whether she really be
Princess, or whether she is actually descended from
one of the most ancient families in Tuscany, two of
whose members (Pius III and Plus III( have
occupied the Papal chair and whose name has been
immortalized by SCHILLER in one of his greatest
tragedies We shall content ourselves with the an
ticipation of two most delightful concerts, and we
advise all our readers to avail themselves of the
earliest opportunity to secure their seats, at the
sale of tickets which commences this morning at
Whites Music Store, North Charles street.
The engagement of MIR. DIoN BoURcIcAuLT, and
his charming wife, at the Holiday Street Theatre,
has proved a very successful one and we are quite
sure that play-going readers will be delighted
at the announcement that they will both appear
again this week. The Phantom will be produced to-
night, and tomorrow, we are to have the popular
drama entitled Jesse BroUn, the Relief of Luck
no,o. which met with such decided favor at Wal
lacks Theatre, New York. Mr.. BoURcIoAULr, who
is certainly one of the ceverest dramatic authors
of the present day, is also actor of very great
merit. He has easy and gentlemanly bearing
on the stage, which, apart from his admirable i'm
personaton of the different characters in which
he appears, would distinguish him.
VI AGNES ROBERTSON, can only say, that she is
exceedingly pretty and graceful, and in the light
comic characters of Milly, in the .Maid with the
Milking Pail, "Bob Nettles," candy Blake" &C.,
she is unrivalled on the American stage
