It can hardly, howover, be called the first opora, for while tho Amina and Elvino (Miva Brionti and Mr, Manvers, who diod in London recently) wero singing a duo, the thestro took fire, and that wns tho end of tho theatre, and of "Sonnambula,” for many years.

Kelly & Leon's artiste did not, however, appear to bo badly affected by the atate of things without, aud tool their parts with that cheerfulness of spirit characteristic of thé minstrel fraternity, ‘Tho first part, comprising tho ueual vocal and in- stramental displays, was onlivened by the hearty Ethioptauiam of Sebooleraft. the smooth voice and comical genius of Mall, the ventimental- iam of Surridgo, aud the customary oxcol- lout hatlada by Mesera. Kayno and Vredericks. Mr. Kelly has forgotten none of hls auciant pro. fivioncy a4 av iuterfoeutor—o character in which ho has always been accounted oxcellcut. OF course the Kong and dauce business was not forgotten, and that peculiar braneh of burnt- cork inddstry was represented by Wayno and Lovely, who poxeoss all tho requisite axiilty, if a ‘much smaller share of the melody, reguired for such exhibitions.
