The snrFENrH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE sr.
Annals AsTLrN has been kindly furnished us By
the treasurer, Mr.. ]. L. Sterling. The statement
Of affairs shows that during the past year, food,
clothing and shelter had been afforded to two
hundred and ten women and children. There are
now in the asylum eighty-two inmstes-ffty wo
men and thirty-two children. Many of those who
are forced by poverty to find relief in this insti
tuition are ladies' accomplished and intelligent
ladies who have been reared perhaps, in opu-
lenee. In order to render charity in such cases
perfect. additional privileges are granted. Tas
asylum has received but little assistance from the
State or city, and are therefore almost entirely
dependent on subscriptions and donations. The
finances of this haven for the helpless aud desti-
tute are, we regret to say, almost exhausted, and
we learn II is their design to give series Of en-
tertainments at Odd Fellows Hall. to enable the
good work to be carried on as ii should be. To
this undertaking we heartily wish success.

SUNDAY MORNING. JANUARY II. 1869.

The OPERA" Roland a Roncevaux - was the
opera sung last night. We can only repeat what
we have said Of this opera on previous ooca-
sions-and The best praise we can give of the
performance is to say that the audience was the
most enthusiastic of the season, and encored
Picot several times and MademoiselIe Hassslmsn
once, after singing the ballad of lie Roi Soil
man." We notice disposition on the part of the
administration to develop all its energies towards
improving the performances, but at the same
time that We will encourage Mr. Calabresi with all
our might when he does well, we do not wish IL

way Roland is rendered. Tonight, Les Gan

will show: Our readers already know about the
