Mrs. Grattan, Miss Waite and Mrs. Barrett, and
Mrs. Cline, as one OF the "ai for one and one for
ALL" proved herself du fat in exhibiting "a
swashing and martial air." We need not assure
the reader the Mr.. Allen, as the Cardinal, was
excellent, or that Mr.. Sheridan and Mr.. yanden-
hoff, In their respective roles, added to their
claims upon the public as good actors. The
night was inclemcnt, and the house not over
flowing, and the "at audience though fcwn
present may well cherish a selfish Qualification
that they enjoyed a treat that a great many
missed. In the aftcrpiecc Mr. T. D. Baker and
Mrs Barrett kept the house In roar, as Mr..
and Mrs. Peter white. Mr.. b. would always be
welcome, ifhe would oftener drop the necro-
politnnr office for the temple OF Thcspis. To-

WALES OrERh HoUsE-Thc lovers Of opera
have reason for thanking Mr.. Strskosch for
bringing before them this week such combina-

not often that tho Washington public have the
opportunity to enjoy such rare treat as is now
offered them. Madame Anna Lagrange Brignoli,
Adelaide Phillips, and others whose names may
be seen elsewhere, are to appear for four nights
only. 1t seems hardly necessary to call the at
tention Of our readers TO this grand opera. We
understand that a large number OF seats for to-
night have been secured.
