OPERA HoUsE.--The performances at this
institution continues to attract large and
fashionable audiences of ladies and gentle
meB, who manifest their appreciation of
those mirth-provoking artists by shouts of
laughter and screams of delight. Mrs. Flor
ence's vocal efforts are particularly fine, and
while they are rendered with harmony
and melody seldom attained by the Anglo
Saxon race, she manages toithrow' into her
comic songs such an air Of comic.lity and
humor. that she "brings down the dauss" at
the end of every verse. Her Mar.a5tse in
the native tongue, last.evening, was beau
tiful and soul-inspiring effort, and displayed
her'powers in patriotic song as well as does
her "Johnny was Shoemaker" id comic.
She appears in two pieces this evening. GO
