THE OPERA . Mondat , the 7 th . August , 1854 , was a day to be marked with black in our operatic annals . The noblest singer of her time , endowed , with all the gifts of exuberant genius , and with all the spells of imperious beauty , GmtiTA . Grisi , sang her hist farewell to an Englist audience . Never did the dying- swan on the banks of the M < eander pour forth diviner music 2 She did not leave us in the decline of her powers , and in the decay of her charms—not in the fading twilight of hex fame : this , at least , would have been a * bitter consolation ; but in all the rich maturity of her genius and beauty she bids farewell to the scene of so many of her earliest triumphs and most glowing recollections , and to a public who , for nearly a quarter of a ceottixy , have been among the most constant o £ her votaries . Let not , however , the just impatience of our regrets betray us into injustice to one who for so many seasons has shed warmth and Tight on . the lives of the dullest andjhardest of us : eve n ; to remember those evenings is a privilege * If there-was one feeling . Bftore dominaxit than ; another in that valedictory audieiiee of Monday night last , it was ) Who shall Jill for place ? Who Shall replace Giisi in all . that the name of GrTisi represents ta tie eye and ear of memory ? It was this dearth and absolute poverty of the stage that added , perhaps , a more : poignant emotion to the ; parting ; as the majestic grace of the !> & # passed slowly and sadly from the gaze of her worshippers . The performance "was worthy of the occasion . Never was Norma more august in beauty , more superb in song : never were Raoul and Valentine more graceful , more passionate , more pathetic . And then came the supreme moment when the artist , no longer tlie actress but the woman , appeared before the curtain to receive the crowning triumph . Ladies waved their handkerchiefs till they were faint with agitation ; men shouted and cheered till they were hoarse ; the orchestra rose en masse ; the stage was buried in flowers . It was one of those nights when an audience is possessed by a sort of electric sympathy . Three times did Grrisi come forward with Mario , and a fourth tim © alone ; and when she found herself alone in that tempest of tumultuous emotion , she shed tears ^—the last and most womanly acknowledgment . The-theatre was far from being inconveniently crowded , as had been expected . Many stayed away for fear of the crowd and the fabulous prices
isked by speculators , and thq result —at a season when the town is lialf smpty—was a comparatively thin house- But as time is not to be reckoned by hours , but by sensations , so the character of that audience was not its density , but its enthusiasm . * * * * We shall defer any detailed notice of the production of Rossini ' s delicious opera , Le Comtc Ory , till next season , for the simple reason that we have not heard it this week . Why it should have been brought out for the two last nights we do not pretend to divine : the directors have not been otherwise punctilious in observing their programme . Le Cowte Ory has always been a ikvourite in Paris , and we see no reason why it should not be a cherished companion to the Barbiere in the repertory of the Royal Italia . ^ Opera .. We hear the ensemble of the present cast highly approved—we know that Madame Bosio vocalises like a fountain , and is always sparkling ( and cold ) as crystal ; Tagllafico cannot be ineffective , and Zelger is at least familiar with the traditions of his part . But we have our doubts about Signor Luchesi . * W " c know heJiasbeen a finished light tenor , and enjoys a continental reputation for that Eossinian singinowhich tie robust and patriotic audiences of Young Italy have been taugh * t by Verdi to despise- We know that , as the faded beauty observed , a has been is better than a never was . But the audiences of the Royal Italian ; Opera , have a right to the best , and none but the best , voices , and have nothing to do with the remains of tenors . It is a pity that journals of influence should encourage the directors of the opera m palming off these substitutes on an indulgent public . We can but humbly protest . We look with dismay to the prospects of next season , now that Gnsi and Mario have departed . Perhaps the success of the Conite Ory may suggest the natural direction in which success is to be found—we mean in the return to pure music and to Italian Opera . While we are on the subject of farewells , we may take the opportunity of giving a bit of news from Paris by way of compensation to our own losses on this side of the Channel . ¥ e hear that Mademoiselle liachely -who has been living in close retirement at Brussels since the lamented death of her sister , has , after many sudden and contradictory changes of mind , resolved to withdraw her resignation as a societcdre of the Theatre Francais , and to continue to sustain . the fortunes of that classical stage with renovated powers . She will appear in the gratuitous performance next Tuesday : her definitive rentrde will take place in September . We congratulate the Theatre . Francajs and the great tragedienne herself on her return to the scene of her many triumphs . We trust she may be furnished with opportunities of new ' creations' in the modern drama . Meanwhile , a new drama by George Sand is said to be under consideration of the reading committee of the Theatre Francais . Madame Grisi and Signor Mario sailed on Tuesday last in the ' Baltic' for New York . They are announced to appear in the first week of September . All the good wishes of the old world attend them . May their success be worthy of America , and their return to Europe crowned with happiness and repose in their own loved Italy ! E . P .

believers . Was there ever such a spectacle ! Rightly are you named Protestant , for every sect [ and almost every individual is in a perpetual state of protest . Here is an Established Church unable to understand the signs of the times . She cannot see that she has lost her hold upon the hearts of the people . Her doctrines are not believed , her ritual is not observed , and yet , if a man tries to adapt the teachingof the Church to the wants of the age , he is forthwith denounced as a heretic .
