The OPERA.-The public who attended this
place Of amusement last evening were doomed to
meet with disappointment, coming from IN un-
expected quarter. Mr.. Van Hufflen being sick,
only the fourth act of his "Huguenots" was sung,
of which we cannot speak, not having reached
the theater in time to hear it. LA Belle Helene"
was performed as compensation for the balance
of the "Huguenots." Nine Lambele.Alhaiza, be-
ing in excellent spirit and voice assisted q great
deal in dissipatiDg the yawning disposition OF the
disappointed audience. Tonight "La Grande
Duchesse," with Mile Bourgeois in the principal
character, and three act vaudeville entitled Lies
Trois Epicers." On Monday Faust" in which,
for the first time, Mr. Picot, instead Of Mr.. Engel.
appears as Faust. The idea of Mr.. Cslabresi in
casting Mr.. Picot in this opera will insure him
full house. Mr.. Picot will take his benefit on
Thursday next. Donizetti's "Les Martyrs" one
Of the composers greatest productions, will be
sung for tie first time in several years. Another
full house may therefore be expected to be
present.
