AMUSEMENTS.

MR. GEORGE HOODS BENEFIT.-NOne is more
worthy this handsome compliment than the
bene6clare of the evening. His gentlemanly
manners and accommodating disposition have
laid claims upon the hd6iaes of the Academy,
which will not be disregarded. Already very
many of our prominent citizens have secured
their places, and there is promise of brilliant
and fashionable audience. The attractions of
the programme are very inviting, being the
whole English Opera Company, with its popu-
lar prinnd donna, Miss Caroline Richlngs, who
will be supported by the great lyric tenor, Mr.
Habelman, whose name alone is tower of
strength. He will sustain the brilliant and
dramatic role of ezra Diavolo,n in Auber's cher
d'GUUre and pet composition, to which in his
advanced years he has added recitatives, thus
bringing it up to the standard of grand opera.
Mr.. Hood may expect grand success.
