The Opera.

Last night the second representation of
LA File de Nine. AngOt" was greeted by
quite large audience. The piece itself is
rather light, though the dialogue is viva
cious and sometimes witty, and the music
lively. But it has not created much of a
sensation. Its plot and counterpart are
we'll handled but somehow seem to get en-
tangled with the sub-plot. and the result is
the situations become forced. 1t lacks
Offenbach's broadness CT humor and his
amusing absurdity. 1t is brighter, more
airy than opera bouffe, but has not body
enough for comic opera.
The matinee performance yesterday, we
are pleased to note, passed of remarkably
we'll. The matinee performances are grow
ing rapidly in favor, and it is with pleasure
we notice that most excellent programme
is promised for Saturday noon.
On Monday next will be produced, for the
first time this season, Meyerbeer's grand
opera, Robert lie Diable."

moral and altogether proper show, will arrive

"This establishment is demonstrating its
popularity by the large audiences it draws
daily, not withstanding the very bad we ather
SO far. The performances yesterday were
well attended, and every visitor departed
feeling amply repaid. The menaeerie con-
tinues to attract the admiration of all who
behold the varied and really fine collection
of animals. TIE circus is one of the best

feats are executed in the very best style.

praise Of the performers. Two exhibitions
