ADJUSTMENTS.

THE HIBERNICoN.-There was q large
attendance at Assembly Hall, last night,
and all were delighted at the entertain-
ment. The views Of Irish scenery are
truthful, and carry one who has once visi-
ted the gem of the sea back to the time
when they tFod the turf OF Erin and par
took of her hospitality. Miss Halpine is
a sweet vocalist ard good d~elineator of
character, and take it All in all. the Hiber-
nicOn is Well worth seeing. A matinee
will be given to-day. Doors open at IL
o'clock.
THE 0PERA.-The audience at the New
Memphis LAST night was, in numbers at
least, a decided Improvement upon that of
the night before. 1t was a brilliant and
an appreciative audience, and the per-
formance was in every respect worthy the
reception they accorded 1t. To begin az
the beginning, the overture was perform
ed with a~slill, precision, excellence of ex-
preston and fulIuess oftone that was new
TO Memphis, where, we confess with some
degree OF regret hat every character Of
music but that appertainIng 70 orchestra
has been cultivated and ENCOURAGED, The
audience showed that the really excellent
Instrumentation was not lost upon them.

the orchestra had to do. The chorus,
too, was also an improvement upon
the night previous. 1t is not too much to
say that the chOTus of this company is
the best in voice we have ever had here;
and that together with the orchestra its
members round Off and i'll in with a ser
les Of pictures that else we're but mere
outline and very tame indeed. And this
we say with the exquisite notes of Habel-
ma n still ringing in nnw Ga1=u and a do
Iightful memory of the oadenza Of "RO-
bin Adair," that sweetest of sweet Scot
fish ballads. Habelman is a prince
among tenors. He has a register that en-
braces every note that can DO called into
requisition to express power and sweet
ness, and he uses them as a master. In
contrast with Himmel, the latter loses.
although we still adhere to our opinion
that he, too, occupies the highest position
as al artist. From his enJree upon the
stage until the dropping of the curtain
upon q grand and picturesque finale, he
filed the eyes and ears of his audience.
Handsome in person, he is as grace
full az handsome, n played his
character of George BrOWR with rare
fidelity. Miss JOhannsen is not Fred
erici; yet she has an organ capable of eX-
preston and sweetness, and we think she
last night, as AHHG, used il to the best
advantage, especially in the duets, triOs
and quartettes. She is "a good actress and
pleased her audience. Whatever her fall
ures, we are assured she will more than
recover upon her next appearance.
Dzuiba was in good voice, and as
attractive as ever. She is a de-
cided~ favorite, and d~eservedly so. Her
PRESERVATION of Jenny was one Of the most
crediJable of the evening, and confirmed
her Memphis friends in their good opinion
Of her. She is the light and the life
of the company. The leading soprano
of the chorus played MargGre,, and
did it well. She deserved and re-
ceived the applause OF the audience.
Weinlich, Steineeke and B~ehringer
were, as usual, excellent, and gave per
sonatiOns of character that were very ac-
ceptable and appreciative. Taken alto
gether, La Dame Blanche" was admirably
rendered, and proved for the manager a
capital NJ paying bill.
Tonight we are to have Faust" and
doubtless VIII have a fashionable audi
ence. The house ought to be crowded,
not only tonight but every night during
the season. Frederick Is an artistic Mar
gueT9te, one that it viii do to remember.
