opera was presented last night to the
most critical and fashionable house
ever congregated in Scatter We dc
not wonder that men have no money
for lager beer, when we see sucl
exquisite toilets in the concert room
The five principal parts were splen
didly done, far better than the Aimee
troupe rendered them in San Fran
cisco, outside of the saucy French
woman herself. Miss Thompson is
noble rather than a pretty woman
and Miss Winston is a very sweet
singer. She made a good deal OF
the little part of Prince Paul; but
Farley is the best General Boum we
ever saw. Bracy's Fritz was artistic
but cold, yet his clear articulation
in singing redeems the other faults.
Evans exquisite Instrumentation
was the great auxiliary to the most
unequivocal success ofany perform
ance ever given here.
MARINE.-Bark Lizzie Williams
took in 600 tons of coal in one day
