The Opera of Romeo and Juliet.''

Notwithstanding the dlSagreeable weather
last evening there was good audience at
the Opera House to witness the first repre-
sentation of Gounod's grand opera OF
Romeo and Juliet"
The music of this opera is not such as to
please the popular ear, being of that alb,
stract, scientific character which requires
study to understand and frequent hearing
to remember, though there is here and
there an aria of a simple nature that capti-
Yates the ear and delights the heart. The
action Of the play, and the fact that the
plot is Shakespeare's, will always make it
pleasant to witness, and the more the music
is heard the better it will be liked. Par
ticularly will this be the case with such a
cast as that of last night
Nine. Durand sang the character of
Juliet for the first time, and with success
as decided as her warmest friends could
have wished. She was in elegant voice,
and seemed to have suddenly acquired
greater power than we remember to have
seen her exhibit. Her singing in the first
act of the famous waltz was marked by the
exquisite delicacy and finish of her vocali-
cation, and the tumult of applause at its
close indicated the delight with which her
hearears were filed. Her acting on the
whole was good though, of course, little
constrained by the newness of the situa-
ton. Her costumes excited the keenest ad-
miration of the ladies, who went into
ecstacies over their elegance, and COM
mented largely on the good taste of the
beautiful wearer.
Mr.. Blum, with such a Juliet to make
love to, could not fail as Romeo. He enjoys
the advantage of great familiarity with the
part, having sang it ten nights successively
in Paris. He was in good voice, and mani
tested great tenderness and feeling in the
love duets with the fair Juliet, and won a
recall at the close of the third act.
We can not close this without mention of
the fine manner in which Mr.. Coulon rem
dered the role of the Fiiar. The marriage
scene was particularly praiseworthy, and
was performed with solemnity that i'm
pressed every one. The careful attention
to dress and details generally is character
istic of Mr.. Coulon, and deserves special
notice.
Nine. Dumestre. Mr.. SoIere and Mr.. Jour
dan, in their respective roles. We're very
successful and pleased the audience.
Romeo end Juliet" will probably be re-
peated early this week and we advise or
friends, by all means, to hear it.

Volume XVIII of Edwards New Orleans

A hasty glance through its pages satisfies
us that it is as correctly compiled as works so
hastily put together usually are. And as it
is the only work of the kind printed in the
city, it will be indispensable to every busi-
ness man. The printing and binding are
unexceptionable. 1t is published by the
Southern Publishing Company, no. 5 Com

The New York Tribune saws

The very last of the New Orleans politi-
cal inflammation went out yesterday with
the extinction of Mr.. Carter. That ludi-
crous Bombastes, after making prodigious
ado about his pretended marches on the
State House, seems to have discreetly sub
sided; and, in order to break his fall, his
last dying confession is that General Emory
has won the fight So long as peace and
order have won, what Carter says is not OF
much account but the truth OF history
compels the statement that Governor War
moth is left master of the field.
