TEE OPERA.-1he crowded condition of the
columns OF the CRESCENT precludes as complete
an account of the Opera Of "Romeo and Juliet" as
performed twice already at the Opera House d.
4 ring the past week. Last night the auditorium
was full Of the fashion and beauty, who generally
render Saturday evenings so pleasant ct this
place of amusement, and yet it was not crowded.
the fair Of the st. Vincent Orphan Asylum hsv-
ing kept many away, endeavoring each in their
email way to contribute to the wants Of the
needy orphan. Mr.. Engel, we thought last
| evening was not in as good voice as on Thurs
day last, and but for the deficiency in his pow
ers of voice, which We have had soZmany oc-
!. casion to regret, We would choose this opportu-
nifty to lsud him for bis exquisite singing, a great
portion of which could not be appreciated for
the reason that he could not be heard. OF Mile.
Hasselman In whom we daily notice improve.
mens, We say that in the pathetic parts she is
excellent, but whenever action or Stress or voice
Is required, she lacks warmth and does not give
color enough to her singing; the result is that 1t
is ineffective. In the duo Of the second act Mr..
Engel and Nile. Hssselman exhibited much talent
and overcsme the difficulties of the ensemble of
40, Mutt D'Amour " with much grace, especially
in the reprise. Van Hufiien, WHOSE part Ia not
very extensive, sang as he always sings. Mr..
Peront. the baritone, makes q good Capulet
and Mercutio labored tolersbly well through
his part. Nile. Chsuveau, as usual,
sang well. The opera is well gotten
up, and the orchestra and choruses are better con.
Quoted than usually. By the way, the choruses
are very original and are feature of the opera.
To compare Romeo and Julietr with "Fsust.n
by the same author-Iounod-would be unfair,
until several hearings Of the former opera 30
far. the superiority in every respect is ID favor Of
''Fsust," in our humble opinion. Tonight. for
the last time this season, "Roland at Ronceveaux,"
with Picot, Gambler, Hasselman, Peront. Van
HufHen and Others of the company. Tomorrow.
the performance viii be for the benefit of the best
artist of the dramatic company, whom we have
also appreciated in comic opera. We allude to
Mr.. CLamounin. The play viii consist Of Sardou's
last Partisan success, 'Sersphinen-a fve-act
comedy Of the highest order. The house viii be
crowded.

The New York Tribune still calls for the
Acknowledgement of foreigners by means of a
law for the purpose Of preventing so-calIed
naturalization Frauds" It wants to put
Democratic judges in the penitentiary. and
to keep foreigners from voting, in order that
the Radicals may have clear field. Why
not pass law ct once toprevent the counting
of all votes except Radical votes? Such an
expedient would dispense with the necessity
for good deal Of complicated legislation.

uncertain. The action of the British COM
