I had allmost forgot to menshun that the two Sherryffs, and the Chairman of the big Tower Bridge, was all benighted, and came out of the presents Chamber smiling like ancient Cherubs. I am told as how as the Copperation was so werry much delited with their royal wisit to royal Winser, that they has been and passed a werry similer wote of thanks to the Dook and Dutchess of YORK, and arsked them to receeve 'em jest the same as the QUEEN did, but they is both werry sorry to say, that their Pallis not being near so big as Her MAJESTY'S, they hopes as only a small Deppytation of Aldermen and C. C.'s will attend. Oh won't there be jest a rush for places, as every one on 'em is naterally anxious to show his loyelty on so hinteresting an ocasion, tho of course they carnt expec to have heverything exacly the same as they had at Royel Winser. ROBERT. * * * * * OPERA NOTES. _Tuesday, July 17._--"The opera season will terminate July 30." To-night VERDI'S opera of _Aïda_, "with the dotlets on the _i_." First appearance of Madame ADINI, a spacious _prima donna_ who amply fills the part. GIULIA RAVOGLI an excellent _Amneris_. Opera apparently not particularly attractive, or more powerful attractions elsewhere. _Saturday, 21._--_Pagliacci_ followed by new opera entitled _The Lady of Longford_, though it would have been more polite had the Pagliacci allowed the Lady to precede them. But Pagliacci will be Pagliacci. _The Lady_'s Librettists are Sir DRURIOLANUS POETICUS and Mr. F. E. WEATHERLY. The music is by EMIL BACH. The Gentlemen of Longford are represented by Messrs. ALVAREZ and EDOUARD DE RESZKE, while _the_ Lady, the big lady, is EMMA EAMES--"quite the lady"--and the little lady is EVELYN HUGHES. This new Lady turns out to be our old friend the one-act drama by TOM TAYLOR entitled _A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing_, set to music, the comic characters being omitted, and the end made tragic instead of happy. The music does not entitle BACH to take a front seat. EMMA EAMES excellent; FANNY HUGHES funny; ALVAREZ good; JEAN DE RESZKE first-rate all-round-head Colonel, but more like a Cathedral than a Kirk. Composer and Librettists complimented; MANCINELLI conducted; house full. General satisfaction. * * * * *
