The queon OF Shoba" Last Night.

The largest audience OF the week Wit
messed The Queen OF Shcba' at the
Academy last night. THIS opera was
written 10y Karl Go.dmark, German
composer of note, and abounis IN
strange, romantic, butcaptiyating music.
The entire work is excellent, and was
thought by many to be the most charm
ing OF theweek. The music Is lovely, and
the opera abounds in wonderful orches-
tration. Thewcird song OF Amanda Fabrls
in the second act won the most enthu-
siastic applause Of the evening. In
the cast was a new tenor Charles Bas
set and he has beautiful voice and GER
tlinly the most musical OF the company
The other members of the cast were
Alonzo Stoddard king Solomon, WI
liam Merton (Ovcrseer of the Palace,
George l.. broderick (High PRIEST,
Bertha Pierson (Suiamith, his daugLterl,
Clara Poole 1.-THE Queen OF Shebal, aud
Amanda Fabrls cher slaye). Allof them
did very well. especially Misses Plerson
aud Poole. and so did the chorus. The
scenic effects were charming and the
costuming gorgeous and extremely
elaborate. The desert scene was particu
uiarly beautiful.
The total receipts for the three nights
aggregated about 200. The expenses,
it Is claimed, averaged about $500 a
night. So it will be seen the engage
mcnt did not pay bat the people who
went are glad that they had the
opportunity, and can look back to
each performance as finer than any
ever gwen here by any other company.
70 Mr.. Locke, the manager of the com
pany, and Mr.. Leath, the manager OF
the Academy the people Of Richmond
are indebted for three most pleasant
evenings and while the engagement
was not profitable, yet nowthat the com
pany's merits are known it Is safe tC
/ predict that when it again favors this city
with avlsit it Will be received with opeI
arms.
An attempt is on foot to get them t.
play return dates here.
The troupe plays in Petersburg to
night, and Friday aud Saturday IN Nor

Not 10 Certain That Is VIII be
Passed ia Its Present Form.

The State commerce bill, on which the
House Of Delegates has been engaged Tor
several days. is intended TO conform the
Virginia statutes to the principles of the
inter state commerce law. There are to
be three commissioners. The president
will draw a salary of 5000 per annum
and his two assistants 81, 500 each. They
are 20 exercise authority only over rail-
road companies. The steamboat lines,
it is believed, cannot be reached by state
law and the express companies ana
sleeping car companies are not included
in the bill. They were in it at first, but
by vote Of the House were struck out
for reasons given. The commissioners
are To be paid by warrant upon the
Treasury and the Auditor is 10 assess

Commonwealth.
The following is the provision OF the
bill rs it now stands with regard to
