The New OPERA HousE.-Last night
was set apart FOR the benefit of that
charming little warbler, Miss Caroline
Richings, and fortunately the weather
was not SO disagreeable as it has been
nearly all this week, and the house was
nearly full. Miss Richings in the first
piece sang that beautiful song which al
ways seems to be new and to meet with
welcome from every heart, Home,
sweet Home" We have seldom seen an
audience so moved as they we're on this
occasion; it seems the whole house was
Fell-bouna by the manner in which this
lady sung. What it is about her st yle of
singing that so charms her hearers we are
unable to say, but really we have never
seen one so improve upon acquaintance"
as this delightful songstress does. In her
rendition of that thorn that sticks in the
side of the present ruler of France, "The
Marsellais Hymn" she had the audience
fairly in transports; and although render
ed in different language from our own,
its sentiments sank deep into the hearts
of the people. No wonder that Louis
Napoleon breads it, when it takes hold of
the feelings of the masses as it did last
night, though sung before an American
audience.
We believe Miss Carrie and her faith
or could be induced to- remain longer in
our midst that the overlooking houses
that would greet them would cause them
to rejoice at having paid our city visit.
They have been attended with unpropi-
tious weather since their arrival here land
we are satisfied the enthusiasm of the
audience last evening would fill the house
for many nights to come.
Mr.. Richings takes benefit tonight
when the beautiful Allego rical Tablead
"Washingt on" that drew forth such
shouts of applause last night will be re-
peated, after Mrs. Anna Cora Ritchie's
play of "Fashion," has been performed.
1t was announced from the stage last
evening by Mr.. Riehings, that the New
Opera House would close after Monday
evening, on which occasion Mr.. G. X.
Dickinson would have his benefit, and
some one in the audience proposed
'"bumper" for the enterprising manager,
which met with a hearty response from
the whole house.
