admirers of high musical art. Inc periormauoe

and will consist of " La Cravate Blanche, D QUE
act comedy of the Gymnase, Meyerbeer's eeie ;,
brated sympbony La Marche aux FambeauX.
the third act of Gounod's Faust" the fourth
act of 1.-THE Buguenots," the overture and the
second act of Rossini's "WillAW Tell" the nun
act of "L'Africaine'-a most remarkable Dill,
which cannot fail to attract crowded house; IN
fact. one half of the house had been secured az
noon Yesterday. On Saturday will be produced
''L'Africaine," instead of :" Robert le Diaole,
as previously announced. Unavoidable crcum'
stances have rendered this change necessary
However, as many of our music-loving people
have not vet heard Meyerbeer's dying song, and

there will not be much if any disap pointment.
