Signor Lefranc as Arnoldo seemed to excite less enthusiasm than he did in Trovatore on Monday last. In the first two acts he was very tine, but as this opera is particularly severe on the tenor, he became less secure in the two last acts, and consequently his upper C did not appear with the ease of last Monday’s performance. Signor RK ayna’s Tell pleased the audience much. He was very good in his solos, as well as in the concerted parts, agreeably disappointing our expectations. Mademoiselles Canissa and Lami were uot as effective as was desirable, yet they performed their respective parts creditably. Signor Colleti as Walter and Barili as Gessler were only passable. Some of the choruses were very good, while oth- ers were defective. The prayer in the first act was somewhat out of time. The oath scene onthe Grudli Mountain was very well rendered. This LussEr...

Dinner at the White Hoase—Sight Seeing im the Federal Metropolis, ‘The third state dinner at the Executive Man- sion last evening was an elegant affair, and in honor of Prince Arthur the dining room was elegantly and elaborately decorated with flags, wreaths and evergreens. On the north sideof the room two flags were festooned over a full length portrait in oil (by Kellogg) of her Majesty Queen Victoria, which picture was in full view of the Prince as he sat at table. Around the walls the flags of Great Brit- ain and the United States were fes- tooned and fastened with: wreaths of flowers.

The table was decorated with a gold and mirror- bottomed piateau, in the centre of which was a handsome silver-mounted vase, on top of which was a handsome crown made of choice flowers, after the pattern of the crown; on either side of this were:two gold vases filled with roses, ja- ponica, and other flowers. & small bouquet at cach plate, completed the decorationsof the table. acts of the Opera “William Tell.” TAKING A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF WASHINGTON. About half-past 11 o’clock this morning, the Prince, in company with his suite and Mr. Fane, of the British Legation, took a drive around the northern boundary of the city, stop- ping during the ride at the Soldiers’ Home, and so much was he pleased with the magnificent views of the city and river, together with the Maryland and Virginia heights beyond, that he frequently stopped the carriage to get the full He re- benefit of the enjoyment thus afforded. turned to the residence of the British Minister about 1 o'clock, when a lunch was partaken of, and between 2 and also his suite, visited the Arsenal, where they were received with an appropriate salute and shown the many points of interest thereabouts.

Extensive decorations are being put up in the Masonic Temple to-day, under the instructions of Mr. Thornton, the English Minister. The fiags are from the Navy Yard, furnished by Admiral Dahlgren for the purpose, and are delivered, unfolded and arranged under the direction of Capt. K. Randolph Breese, of the Navy Yard. There will be flags of all nations used, but the most conspicuous will be the flags of Great Britain and the United States. The dining hall is also being put in readiness to-day. The tables are arranged in a hollow square around the room. Loads of laurel wreaths are being deposited in the hall for decoration purposes, and large quantities of flowers, portraits, &ec., &c., are -also arriving, but the general design is not yet developed out of the chaos of material. Lady Thornton is present to-day giving directions to her retinue of servants and assistants. Mr. N. D. Larner, secretary of the Masonic Hall Association, has obtained the consent of the English Minister to leave the entire decora- tions in the hall after the reception is over to- night, in order to let those who desire to see them have the opportunity. He proposes to throw the hall open to the public to-morrow until 12 o’clock m. for this purpose.
