THE FRENCH OPERA.-The very large and elite
audience that assembled at our Academy Of Music
last night, land the enthusiasm displayed, satisfy
us that the French opera Is already formidable
rival to the Italian in our city. The performance
was throughout most perfect, and even a triumph,
and we have rarely seen an intelligent audience IN

"Alphonse" than on the previous occasion.

Taking the performance last evening as test, we
