A COOP RRNDIT1oN.-We do not
think it possible, all things consid-
cred, that the opera Of the Bohe-
mian Girl could have been rendered
more satisfactorily than it was last
evening. Mrs. Richings-Bernard
looked superb in the character of
"Arline." and the duets between
her and "Thaddeus" (Mr. Gates)
were effectively rendered. Mrs.
Bernard possesses voice of rare
purity and compass, and whom
blended with the sweet tenor Of
"Thaddeus," created an effect most
charming. Mrs. Drayton looked
and acted the Gypsy Queen" in
her usual painstaking manner, al.
though the character was not altos
gether suited to her vivacious na-
ture. In his personation of "Count
Arnheim," Mr.. Kinross appeared to
advantage and was in good voice.
We never remember to have seen .
more devilish-iooking "Devilshoof'
than Mr.. Howard. who acted aud
sang tho character very faithfully,
indeed. Mr.. Morgan's "Flores-
tein" was deuced clevaw, you know.
Prof. Savanieres' cornet solo elected
hearty applause. This evening we
are to have something on the comic
order, Auber's sparkling chef d'oucre
Fra Diavolo,
F1NB GooDs.-H. Jones, of the
Mill street boot and shoe store, re-
ceived per steamer Alaska, some
very fine stock, including large as
sortment of French and California
leather; also a number of cases of
handmade opera boots, imitation
lace boots, English balmorals, and
button Congress boots, which were
made to Mr.. Jones' order at the Gel
ebrated Caulfeld factory, Newark.
NJ The work and prices cannot
fail to suit customers. Mr.. Jones
has been compelled to add to his
force by the increase of trade, until
now five men are employed in the
shop.
RE11RvED.-The fears entertained
by the friends of Prof. Eldridgs
Morse for his safety, are happily
dissipated by the safe return of that
gentleman to his home in Snohom-
ish. As q traveller, the Professor
has no rival on the north Pscifs
coast. He has travelled 5000 miles
on the waters of Puget Sound, in IN
open boat, and the geographical
world is indebted to him for many
valuable discoveries. On his late
trip, which has been somewhat ex-
tended, he discovered Mukilteo, Tu-
lalip. Fidalgo and new river which
he called the Stillaguamish.
