The pantomlme seems to be imbued with that
peculiar property OF ''Badmington BILL" the Ia
nous runner OF UXbridge, Of being fresher WIN
each "run" that 1t makes. Last night Humpty
Dumpty was greeted with the usual large num-
Der OF his friends. He was in the best spirits;
trick followed trick with the usual rapidity; mis-
chief fell upon Clown and Pantaloon with the
usual ineyitability; many -colored Harlequin
flashed his sword, and Columbine piroueted her
wiles to the usual delight OF the audience. The
glorious burlesque with which the performance
opens passed or with the same ectdt as on Mon-
day and Tuesday evenings.
The fourth appearance OF Humpty Dumpty
takes place this evening, and the eagerness with
which seats are being engaged shows that every
body and his wife are going to be there.
Patti.
The announcement Is made In another column
that Carlotta Patti, the renowned vocalist, Will
give three concerts In Charleston, commencing
on Monday, the l4th instant, at Hibernian Hall.
1t is long since Carlotta was in America; she Is
therefore stranger to us, and 1t will be well lor
us to know what she has been doing IN the mean
time. The outbreak OF the war hushed all the
singing birds, and Carlotta, scared at the noise
and smoke new to Europe. She made her deous
at the Coyent Garden Theatre, and reused bluff
John Bull to such pitch Of enthusiasm that he
began to compare her with Jenny Lind and Cata-
lni. After having sung two months in concerts,
she W, mt up step higher, and sang at the Court
OF ST. James.
Her first appearance In France was quite as
pronounced success as that on the other SIDE OF
the Channel. Thence she set out upon tour OF
conquest, and in rapid and brilliant succession
captured Rouen. Brussels. Liege, Amsterdam and
Antwerp. She then invaded Germany, the very
home of the critics, and set OF all their pens Into
musical skyrockets by her original talent and
brllliancy OF style. Even in Vienna, the abode OF
music der success was unmistakable Bremen,
Dresden, Breslau and Prague next hung out the
white nag of surrender. Madgeburg. Leipslc,
Hanover and Berlin followed suit. In the last
named city she was elevated to the rank Of d'ua,
and placed beside her sister, Adelina.
Back to Paris the testing place OF singers, an
ordeal which they all dread, because the Parisahs,
Notwithstanding the proverbial Gallo courtesy,
will express likes and dislikes much more forci-
bly, than love. Again it was victory, although
she was singing against the prestige Of Adelina
and the presence OF Nilsson. The Emperor gave
her an audience at ST. CloId. Auber, Gounod,
Rossini and Ambrose Thomas spoke enthusiast
caly OF and to her, and with these expressions OF
sympathy and favor, she set out upon her last
tour to Russia, Constantinopie, MoldaVia and
Wallachia The Owskis Urginofrs Of one coun-
try, the solemn and many wived Turks OF the
other, and the decayed nobility OF the last, all
Yielded to the charms OF her voice.
1t Is unnecessary to speak In detail OF the well
come which has greeted her in this, her own
country. 1t could not butbe hearty ana unanimous,
and though 1t can add little splendor to the dia'
dem OF the acknowledged queen OF song, 1t IS not
vain fancy to believe that her reception, IN the
land where she tuned her earliest notes. WaHens
more soul.inspired and soul-lnspirlng melody
than that which has entranced her listeners In so
many strange lands.
An Ill Starred Troupe-Grnu Come to
Grief.
The Savannah Advertiser states that In that
city, on Monday morning, the several creditors OF
Grau's Opera Troupe filed their complaints Win
Justice P. NJ. Russell, Jr.. and attachments were
issued to the amount Of above $1,000 to satisfy the
several claims. All the property, wardrobes,
stage property, &C., belonging to the troupe, and
said to be worth three or four thousand dollars,
were seized. and are now In the hands OF the
magistrate. What will be done in the premises
remains to be seen. The company contest the
matter on the ground that the property did not in
any way belong to Mr.. Grau, and could not be
held for his debts. Which ever way the affair Ia
settled, we fear it will forever put quetus upon
the German Opera in this section.
