Poor PATTI Madam De Munck. better known as
C%arlotta Patti, and whose advent has been heralded
in the ADVERTISER with the statement, made by au-
thority of the lady's gentlemanly advance agent,
Signor De Vivo, that she would give our island peo-
pie a sample of her professed powers during the time
the steamer remained in port, has come and gone,
and that without fulfilling. or attempting to fulfil,
the promises of her agent. The diUa came as ex-
pected on the City Of New York, and a reporter of
the ADVERTISER boarded that vessel before it entered
the passage and interviewed Md. Patti. and her hus-
band, and her brother, and her maid, (but not her
uncles and her aunts,) with the following result. The
cOterie of relatives and friends, (not forgetting the
prfmG dOnna's dog I" Flick, % were found snugly
ensconsed at the rear end of the vessel. engaged in
animated conversation, using la lingua Franchise
as the means of communication. The reporter hay-
ing introduced himself. Madam P. became communi-
cative, and among other things said, al suppose
your island people expect me to sing tonight % An
answer in the affirmative being given, Patti respond
ed and said, 81 am sorry to disappoint them, but I
cannot, dare not, sing here, on account of that dread
full man, Chizzols.'' The reason for the expressed
fear being explained firstly by Mr.. Bartelli, the
lady's brother, secondly by Mr.. De Munck. the lady's
husband, thirdly by Matilde, the discreet and omni-
present maid, and lastly by the diva herself-includ-
ing q growl from "Flick. - all of which, boiled down,
Impressed, the nearer very forcibly with the idea that
Signor Chizzola was the bette noir of the Patti party,
and was looked upon by them as a snatcher up of
various trifes i'll the shape of receipts, and being
that in the flesh, those most concerned were doubtful
if even the distance from San Francisco might not be
Travelled by the dreadful &. in spirit and arrive in
time to place its ghostly hands on the receipts, even
in this far distant land. AT any rate Carlotta had
made up her mind, (and 30 had her husband, and
her brother, and her maid that the weight of bust
ness troubles would not allow her to sing, (Dot u
severe indisposition vide Gazette and sing she would
not, and sing she did not. Md. Patti goes from sgd
ney to Auckland, and may possibly return at 10 re-
mote date to San Francisco, via these islands, and if
such an event should occur, she has personally
promised to attempt to please us, by an exhibition of
her vocal powers.
