The Carandinis still continue their delightful
Concerts, and this week have been favored with
.ull houses The inclemency of the weather during
The stay Of this troupe Of artists has been such
as to materially interfere with the patronage to
which they are entitled Our people, being ac-
;ustoned to fine weather are averse to going out
when it rains, which characteristic, would some
times induce stranger to think that we suppose
ourselves constituted of one of the two chief ar
t.cles Of our export-Salt or Sugar. Their Mon
day evening entertainment was an entire success.
Their laughing chorus was SO natural as to COM
pei one Of our elderly citizens to join H. which in
stance of natural innocence brought down the
house The appearance for the first time here of
the two younger sisters Isabella and Lizzie was
hailed with great enthusiasm and boquets were
most abundant and we do not doubt that if the
young gentleman element in our community had
been more abundant they would no doubt have
been buried in roses. These young ladies give
promise of rvaling their mother aud elder sisters.
The song "'TrHst Her Not which is so effectively
sung by the Misses Rosina aud Fannie, is
great iavorite with many. and when the ladies
direct their gances towards some of our elderly
citizens who if experience could be of any avail
might be considered shot proof in such matters
they seem to be entirely overcome, and cannot
resist sitting on the front seats in order to mo-
nopolise if possible these little attentions of the
charming singers. The presence of these ladies
and gentleman is suggestive of many thoughts,
and as we look back over the long period of time
which it has been fortune to pass in this coun-
try and compare the early years of our residence
with the present. 1t appears like dream Sit
ting 10 the Hall aud looking around upon well
dressed and apprecatve audience whilst in front
of stand artists of the first character we call to
mind the time when it was difficult to raise qua
drille even, and almost the only singing aud music
was the Psalmody of the Churches We reflect
again that whilst we have been accustomed to see
of late years artists going across the ocean to en-
terrain the Australian Colonsts. now we see ele-
giant and accomplished artists natives of those
Colonies, going to seek in older communities the
reward for that fame which they have already
won IN their native country. Surely steam is
doing wonders for US, and making the Pacific
which in our youth was the field of romance alone
from its vastness and from being comparatively
UNEMPLOYED, to be passed, almost as ferry.
Madame Carandn has clear and rich soprano
voice. and so much of acting as she sees fit to in
troduce into her role is of the most attractive
character When looking at her as she appears be-
fore the audience one cen hardly believe that she
is the mother of the lovely group of daughters
which surround her; aud when one hears her man.

possesses all the fexbiity and sweetness of youth
be cannot but say surely time has deal gently
by this woman" or. even ask himself if il has not
forgotten to make any impression upon her. Miss
Rosna has fue, pure sweet, flexible and highly
trained soprano voice, and sings with great taste
and finish and may expect to coin her gold

the liberal population of the Pacific coast Miss
Fannie has powerful, full contralro voice of
great compass. Her low notes are surprising for
their destuctuess. Her bearing before the au-
dienee is so selfpossessed and natural that
added to her charming beauty it commends
her at once TO the appreciation of her audience
and establishes an acquaintance with them.
Added to their musical skill, their lady like man.
ners render them altogether worthy of the pat
ronage and esteem of the public Mr.. Sherwiu
has an excellent tenor voice and renders his part
with great effectiveness whilst Mr.. Small is
inimitable as caricaturist as illustrated in his
" Unfortunate Man" and Hamlet which we
never saw made more ridiculous, Except when
some actors have undertaken seriously to render
the part.
