by very fashionable and intelligent audience The programme
consisted OF unpublished opera composed by
Signor Antonio Bari; called Una Noche seyta which
was performed entire Mexico with great success It would
utterly unfair pass any Judgment upon this work Of Sor

These are certainly clever worried in character anu offering
good contrast We think e form Is somewhat faulty. caused
by the number Subjects which necessa,es several au

and duo OF Orphan Children truly charming IN Us
melody aud full Of the Spanish character This duo Is
gen. The R0maHzl for Soprano sang with much spirit by
Nine d. Lussan clever and brilliant number aud re-
ceyed much applause The duo for Conralto and Bass Is also
a well made and characteristic composition, and was vel
sung By Mdlle. DE Gebee aud signor Fossati
Tie Tenor Romenzl by Mr. Farley Is very beautiful sub
ect and sung By that gentleman In avery chaste and adj

and dash The quaree which closes the act IS one OF the
very best compositions the opera 1t is full OF variety yerV

The second part opened with symphony by Prof Janotta
Our descriptive powers fail in the endeayor 10 portray the
character Of this work. IL more symphony than II Is
