Orrra.—There was a brillignt house full at the opera last night—the occasion, as usual, bringing out the ehre of all circles here. drres does not seem to prevail here, However, this season, tothe usual extent at such affairs: sad tonnets were the rule, and ne the ex vep- ton, Inst night. Verdi's opera of «La Traviata,” or Dumas’ naughty pinay of “Camitie” op'ratized, was pre- sented in fair style ; the choruses and orchestra, howerrr, being by no means sirong enough to ade qua’ely render Verdi. Corcier bas an attractive face and charming action. Her voice is not strong, but sweet and flexible, and she hs quiie evidently been well schoolrd, as shown by the admirable delivery of her runs and staecatoes. In concert, and more particularly in the rendition of Mvyer- beer's bravuras, she shin-sesp- cially.

Jackson's cavairy, numbering 4,40 or 5,80, and com- mended by Van Dorn, attacked the place at 2 ©oock Saturday morning. They completely surprised our al<eping forces, who made but fveble resistance.
