TIE OPERA.-The hearers of Faust last
night represented by Lotti's Troupe, could
not have been rendered more brilliant or
critical, if the management had selected
from the city its best and most accomplished
citizens. The success of the performance
could not be more emphatically Endorsed,
than the rapturous applause given by such
an audience, at the precise points where
this manifestation was deserved. The at
tendance was larger and the performance
was even more satisfactory than on Monday
night, and the occasion was one Of the
highest excellence on the one hand, and the
greatest satisfaction on theother. Tonight
we shall have Mozarts Magic Flute, in
which Lott will appear in his great part
Of LyoneH. Go early this morning and get

The FALL OF RENTS IN NASHVILLE
The revolution which has followed upon
the collapse of the exorbitant system Of
rents 80 long upheld in this city, is truly
startling. Tenants now command business
houses for which landlords dictated all
sorts Of terms four years ago, and some
of the best business stands in Nashville
are now empty and deserted, not SO much
as commanding a solitary offer--no, not
even paltry hundred dollars. In many
instances rents on large residences used for
boarding houses have fallen several huns
dred dollars. Houses with from three to
six rooms hold their own better, bat even
as 10 them rents are much more moderate
than formerly.

fully heard, at the close of which the
Warden ordered that he should be pun
