THE OPERA To NIGHT.-Meyerbeer's grand and
imposing opera of I" he Huguenots," with all Its
Magnificent scenic effects, will be produced at the
Opera House with the principal lyrical artists OF
the company in the cast. The largest audience
this season was assembled at this place on sun
day 10 witness " Don Caesar de BsZan," upon
which occasion Mile Amee Hinry gave new evil
dences of her versatility by acting the pathetic
part of Mdritalld, which was Immediately fol-
lowed by her playing and singing the comic Al role
Of Orestes in (" La Belle Helene" Mile L7mbele
was, in voice and sang better than usual, while
her acting denotes that she is progressing in that
line. ChamOnin is decidedly a most conscientious
ard talented artist, and we would say as mu,h Of
Nj. Micheau, but that be does not often seem &C.
quainted with his part Messrs. Gilbert Roslm
beau, Gouio and Gsuuer were excellent ia the ope-
ret q. "Rigoetto" last night, was delightful y reu-
dered. hessrs. Damiaui, Lechevaier, Van Huiflsn
snd Dupin, together with Mesdames Audibert anil
Seguin, sang this great production Of 4" Verdi
with great credit TO themselves. LA Grande
Duchts-e de Gerolstein," originally represented
in Frarce, "Orpbee Aux Enters" and :" lie Pro.
phet" will shortly be performed. " lie BOssu"
on Sunday next. On Saturday the fourth grand
" Bal de L'0pera."
LoTTI's GERMAN OPERA-This evening Mo-
zsrt's beautiful opera, " The Magic Flute" will
be presented under the auspices Of Signor L0tti's
troupe, at the National Thester. Those who.
during the past week, listened to the melodies of
Freischutz," will certainly not fail to sttead
again. Whether il rain, or whether it shine there
should be good house, for such opportunities of
listening 70 inspiring music, and accurate withal,
are rarely offered. We trust that, before the sea-
son closes, Signor Lotti will give his patrons an
other chance 30 hear Der Freischu'Z, many
who would otherwise have heard il having ab-
seDted themselves on Sunday evening from re-
ligious scruples.
VAMETIEs.-Edwin Adams opened an engage
ment last evening. appearing as Robert Landry,
surnamed Cato the Censor, in the drama OF
dead Heart" The incemency OF the weather
prevented large attendance, but the perform
ance was on that account none the less interest
ing. The scene of the taking of the Bastile ia
the first act, was presented admirably the
scenery and costumes being in keeping. and the
song Of La MArselllaise," by Mrs. GOmers4l,
being sung vita much spltit. la the acting OF
Mr.. Adams We recognize that of the Olden school,
There is a dignity and ease, combined with
an entire absence Of atfectstOn, which give him
power such IS few men Of his age have attained
upon the stage. His audience appreciated this
fact last evening evidently, for, at the fall of the
curtain, Mr. Adams was called before it with en-
thussstic welcomes. He reappears this evening
in the came character. Those who attend will
find u a rare piece Of acting.
ACADEMY OF NUsIC.-Miss Lucinda Circassil
gave a grand soiree dansante at the Academy last
evening, numbering among her guests many of
those whose faces had previously become familiar
10 the Academy's patrons, as participants in the
Black and Tan Convention burlesque. The audi.
eHce, spite Of the weather. was large one. and
intensely good humOred throughout, for the new
Tiece, ''The Black and Tan Ball it is called is a
mirth-prevOking one, and hits off quantity the
centIicities Of modern legislation. At intervals,
loud applause evinced the approval by the au.
dience Of the new production, which we may here
mention is written by JnO. E. Dlrivage, Esq.
Among the smiling faces we observed that Of
Treasurer Kitiredge, who, rosy aud rudy, rubbed
bis hands IN gee and merriment If there is any
one attraction IN the Academy, not upon the stage,
it is the sight Of that always good natured ply
sognomy of "Kits," and We had almost said that
his presence in the box Office more than half
counts fOr the Academy's success, especially at
the Saturday matin6es. Privately, we think so.
The Black and Tan Ball" with the usual olO
performances, will he repeated this evening.
ST. CHARLES" The Bells of ShandOn," an
original Irish drama, was performed last evening.
Dan Bryant, for whom it was written, appearing
10 The leading character, Barry o Ledry. The
piece is pretty, and yet sensational one, intro
duciDg Italian well Hibernisn characters in
judicious medley. The scenic effects are good,
and Miss Sylvester as NOrdh, Bdrry'S sweet.

Performance. The "Bells of Shandon will be
