of Aug: 18Th, that the cholera which has pre-
vailed m an alarming degree for the past tour
months in Egypt, Turkey and some OF the
eastern portions Of Italy, has not reached TINS
place. 1t has not broken out on the western
coast Of Italy, except at Malta. Among the
Musselmen population nightly professions
perambulate the Streets chanting hymns ana
prayers for the averting Of thescourge. Among
the Greek population the fright has almost re-
suited in famine, the bakers refusing to make
bread The panic among the masses OF the
people Is out of all proportion to the danger.
In Anconia and other places on the Adriatlc
where it prevails, it is very fatal of those at

ITALIAN OPERA.

As it viii interest our readers we give TO-DAY
the plot of the Opera 'Ernani,'' which will be
given by the Strakosh troupe next Wednesday.
Sept. Goth. "John of Arragon being proscrib-
ed fees to the mountains and changes his
name to Ernani BE is in love with EIyira,
who returns his passion, but she is betrothed
to a naughty relative, Don Ruy Gomez
Ernani visits her by stealth in the castle of the
Don. The King, afterwards Emperor Charles
Fifth, is also enamored of the beautiful maiden,
and learning the signals by which Ernani gains
entrance to the castle, he initiates them and
is admitted. He there meets Ernani; the
Don comes in and storm of course ensues,
which is only quieted by the assurance Of
Charles that he came to consult the Don about
the political promotion. The robber Chleitain
(Ernani) goes away and is reported to have
cut his worldly stick Elvira is about to marry
the Don, wien her lover pursued by troops,
the evening before the wedding, takes refuge
in the castle and is, of course, by the lawsot
hospitality under the protection Of the Don
When the bride appears Ernani throws off his
disguise, and discovers himself to the Don,
asking that he will deliver him up to the king.
The Don is too ehivalrous for that, and pre-
pares to defend the castle against the troops.
The king at length comes and demands
Ernani, the Don refusing to surrender him.
Charles threatens the latter with death, when
Elvira interteres. The king departs, taking
Elvira as hostage for her llncle'sloyalty The
Don then proposes duel with Ernani, but
the latter bares his breast, offering his life, or
combination with him against Charles. A
conspiracy is Matched forthwith and as seal
of the confidence Ernani gives Ruy Gomez his
hunting horn and promises to die whenever
the latter shall blow it. The conspiracy goes
on and on and its progress gives occasion for
some very striking scenes, a midnight one in
the Cathedrals of Grenada among them-but
Charles is elected Emperor, and the plotters
are COMPOUNDED. AS an act of grace Ernani is
pardoned, restored to his ancestral possessions
and is united to Elyira The happy pair are
just retiring from view, when the Don, deter
mined to thwart his rival, appears and blows
his horn, and Ernani, in obedience to the fa-
tai note, stabs himself and Elvira falls upon
his lifeless form as the curtain drops.

There were many spectators present to wit
ness the game, and we are happy to say large
part Of them were ladies.
The Crescent went to the bat first, and dur
ing the entire game, but especially the first
part, played much poorer than usual. As will
be seen, at the close of the third innings, the
Normals led thirteen runs. But during tile
last few innings they played as if tired, and the
Crescents seemed as fresh as at first. The
game closed with both clubs having made the
same number of runs. The Nornals declined
playing another inning. al
