NATIONAL TnEArRE.--The lovers OF grand
music and superior acting had . trest last eve-
ming at the National, IN the presentation Of
that immortal operate work OF Beethovcn's-
"Fidelio." The audiences was large, fashion
able, and enthusiastiej and not enthusiastic
without cause, either. The opera was placed
upon the boards In manner which does great
credit TO the management, and the orchestra,
the ohoruses, and all the parts were rendered
10 q style which richly merit the most co.
static praise. Hermanns did excellent well,
and II possible fairly transcribed all his prcvI.
Gus performances during the brief season that
he has been with US. He 10 certainly an artist
OF the very irst rank. Madame Oellini as
Fidclio, Madame Rotter as Marceline, per-
formed their parts to the unbounded satisfsc-
hon OF the audience. Herr Formcs, Herr
Hsbelmsn, and Herr Richards were fully up
in their parts, and won golden opinions OF tho
audience. This grand opera is full to reple.
tion with the rarest gems Of music and senti.
ment, and Its rendition last evening was ali
that the most fsstidious could desire. This
afternoon We have the matinee Of "Martha,"
and this evening .'Ii Trovatore."
