The Rice Crop. the Charleston Mercury Nov. 1.] Avery large amount of land in this State was this sea- sen plinted in corn, and it was reas mablo to expect an enormous or: p, capable of supplying that species “f food Mm superabundance at a low price. But the season was marred by a dreoght, and in many parte of the State the ‘corn crop was seriously injured, so that there will be no superabundanes, and scarcely more than was produced inet year from much less land planted in that groatest of cereals. The production of rice, too, this year, his been eurtailed to a considerable extent by the removal of tere from the tide water region. ‘Still, the season for rice has been goed, and those wha have slanted hnve generally made good rons. If saved, the rico crop will very materially aid in supporting our people and the army collected for onr defence. We wrust that prompt and vigorons efforts will be made by the planters to reap the fruits of their summer's exertions. and that our authorities will afford every fa- cility and co-operation in making this largg resource of subsistence available. It is a matter of rifling im- portance to our people, and to the operations of our forces.

ACADEMY OF MUBIC. The woather, 25 was to be expected, interfored mate. risliy with the pecuniary results ef last night's opera, although the house presented a fair appearance, notwith ptanding. A second andition of Madame Lorint Whiting, fn the role of Norma, has confirmed thu highly favorable impressions that we had previously formed of*her. Although, as wo have already intimated, ber voice bh # not that fulness apd soncrity which the music of this role demauds, it is yet very delightful in quality, and is monaged with the most perfect taste and skill. Her “Casta Diya,” in point of expression aud execution, left but little to be desired. Of Mademoiseile Morensi’s Adalgies we havo pot spoken ig sufficiently appreciative terms, Although a jess im- pertant part than that of Aguceua, it did not tho less display the fine qualities of tier voice—roore especially in the concerted parte, whem the sweetness and purity of her tanes and tho correctness of her ear made themselves particulvrly remarked, Sinee we heard her st tho mati neo on Saiurday, free from the tremors of a debut, we have conceived @ very Ligh opinion of the merits of this young artiet. We believe that we shat! be borne out in saying that so fine acontralto voice has not been heard hove since (he time of Alboni, Tho opera went off entire- ly to the satisfaction of the audience, wlio were more prodigal of their applause than on the drst night's repro ecuiation, Mlle.

The vpera was wel) } ut upon the stage, the custumes and accessories having been got up expressly for the occasion, Madame Johumn- ach made a most excellent Fidelio, ber effective style of singing avd dramatic intelligence quaiifying her admirably for the art, Madame Rotter sustained the role ot Mar- celine with her usual animation and s:irtt, and the other parts were ao very well filed. The satisfaction of the audience with the music of this fue work was attested by their enforcing the repetition of all its principal morcauz. It will be performed again to-morrow (Wod nesday) evening. 3 WALLACK’S THEATRE. ‘The fine olf Engligh comedy of “ The Clandestine Mar- riago,” the joint work of the famous Garrick and the elder Colman, was yrodveed wt this hone last wight tor the frst time, with such an adiirable cast ae Mr Wal- lack usuaily presents to lis patrons, The clay is, per- haps, one of the best #f its style and the era which pro- duced so mith dramatic talent both in authors audactors, ‘To say thas jt is faultlessly presented at Wallack’s is uct eaying & word too much, Mr. Mark Saiith as Sterling, Joho Giibert as Lord Ogieby, Charles Fishor as Lovewell, Mre. vey ae Mrs. Stevling, Mrs. Veraon as dire Heidel Derg and Miss Houriqnos ag Fanny, all de-erve fall inerit for thett exoolieat acting, which rendered the perform ance moet enjoyable, The new scouery by Isherwoot, aud the appropriate costumer, added not a Iiitie w the succes of the play, It # underlined for Phureiay night Do might aud Saturday «Contrat Park" will be repcated WINTER GARDEN, ‘Those popular artists, Mr. and Mre.
