Covent Garden on the 18th of October and ap.
pears TO have achieved a gratifying success
although the ex'ravagant puffery of her maua-
GER mad somewhat preludiced the public against

good enough TO say: This young ladv, a
pupil of Mr.. Maurice Strakosch, comes from

respects that musical culture has rapidly ad-
yaneed there within the last quarter OF a cen-
tury."
