Notwithstanding decline of l-l6d at Liverpool

in futures also, many factors adhered firmly to
their previous pretepsions, while others were

Sales Hence the irregularity noted above buy.

regard to the tone of the market, which was va.

some and irregular and easier by others Had

THE OPERA.

There will be tomorrow "matinee ex-
traordinaire," for the benefit Of the stage
carpenters, machinists, and other humble
but eminen!ly useful and deserving en-
ployees of the Opera-House, and as their
remuneration is very small, it is to be hoped
they will reap some substantial profit there
from. The programme they offer should
secure an overlooking house, it being no less
than Donizetti's magnificent fve-act grand
opera, Dom Sebastien de Portugal" which
has proved SO acceptable to all those who
have heard it this winter. Most of the lead
ing artists Of the present company appear
therein, and in attending the matinee our
music-loving friends will enjoy the double
pleasure of doing kind act to deserving
and Woodworking men and Of partaking Of
frs class musical entertainment.
Tomorrow night Madame Anna Vercken
appeals to the patrons Of the Opera, for whose
qualification she has done SO much since the
beginning of the season, and upon that occa-
sion she will appear in verdi's favorite opera,
LA Traviata, part to which she is emf
nently able to do full justice through her
high dramatic and vocal abilities.
Madame vercken is SO we'll appreciated by
all the New Orleans dileitanti rs an artist of
superior merit that the mere announcement
# her benefit ought to suffice to attract
most brilliant and fashionable house to-mor-
row night at the Opera House. We shall,
nevertheless, take occasion to speak more at
ledgth in our next issue Of her great and
varied claims to the good will Of all who take
an interest in the opera, and in the meanwhile
advise an early call at the box Office, as there

The market continues fairly active,
