The OPERA House. - Last evening
The Bridal " was presented to good
house, but not so large SIS would IN
doubtedly have been the case had it not
been for the celebration on the street.

of The Earl's Daughter written from
Miss Braddon's novel entitled East
LYNNE" The play is essentially East
LYNNE and Miss Heron has no equal in
the difficult, leading character of the
piece. Every one should go and witness
her splendid rendition of the character. A
large stove has bern put up, and the house
will be well warmed. Tomorrow even

appear as Camille" piece in which she
is acknowledged queen Of the boards.

warfare will last thirty years-and. in
fact, are the most wretched, chop-fallen,
used up, broken-winded set Of mortals
