THE OPERA.

Pbobablt the most successful perform ance of the season took place last night at the Prince of Wales theatre, when " La Sonnambula " was presented to a house crowded to excess. This opera—a great favorite universally- was rendered with perfection, and the plaudits elicited showed the strong sympathy of the spec tators and their appreciation of the _ ex cellence of the performance. To-night the opera will be " Un Eallo in Mas chera," a synopsis of the plot of which we subioin

TJ n P-allo in Maschera (Hie Masked Ball) Scribe'e libretto of Gusfcavus the Third, was written expressly for production at the Theatre San Carlos, at Naples, but the censor made so many objections ;>ml prohibitions, that Gui seppe Verdi in disgust jumped on board the steamboat and returned home, despite the threats of actions, damages, and interests of fabulous amounts that the manager of the San Carlos claimed from him. One year passed before Verdi made up his mind to pre sent hi.? opera at another theatre. At last he consented, and, in the year 1859, he sent it to the Theatre Apollo,in Rome. Again did Gus tavus the Third have to submit (thanks to the censor) to fresh alterations ; so Gustavus the Third became Un Ballo in Maschera, and the scene of action, in place of being Sweden, was laid at Boston, in America. Richard (Signor Rosnati), Earl of Warwick", Governor of Bos ton, an English posses ion, has for his secre tary a Creole, Benato (Signor Coliva), who is married to a lady named Amelia, (Signora Zenoni). Eichard loves Adelia, nevertheless Renalo is his best friend and most faithful follower. Samuel (Signor Dondi) and Tom (Signor Grandi) are the leaders of a discon tented and revengeful faction, who are always conspiring, ami always watching for an opportunity to get rid of Richard. There is also a Bohemian, a sybil—in the vulgar tongue a fortune-teller —that the public authorities wish to banish, but Richard protects her against them, and, in disguise, visits her abode to hea.- her tell his fortune. The prophetess, without kuowing who it is, predicts that he -will be aasasnnated by a friend, and that the assassin will be he who shall first grasp Rici ard's hand. At this moment Renato arrive?, recognL-03 tho Governor, and shakes him warmly by the hand. Richard has no faith in the prophecy, and treats it as unworthy of serious thought. He has overheard the sybil direct Adelia to procure a rank herb that grows at the foot of the gibbet in the place of public execution (a lonely and deserted spot), a distillation of.which will at once destroy the love she feels for Eichard, and restore her former peace of mind ; and thitter he follows her for the purpose of declaring his love. During thoii< brief meeting Renato appears to warn Richard that the conspirators are on hie track, and to beg of him to seek safety in n>ht, premising to lead the veilest lady to the citj gates, without inquiring who or what sho is ; Hichail escapes. Tom and Samuel arrive ; furious a1 not finding their prey, they arc about to fctack Renato, when Adelia steps between hr husband and the conspirators, her veil falls, £id she is discovered. Reuato, to avenge th/Oatrage on his honor, joins in the plot agatist Richard, and stabs him at a masked aall. "Richard, during his dying moment declacaa the innocence of Adelia, and nances a wrftt»r, order from hi 3 breast, j n v ;«ue of wbioh Renato and Atieiia were l« jj a j sailed for England on the following ,vr. Italian authors had some difficulties to contend with in translating their poems from the works of other countries : for instance, if the principal character iv a drama or opera bore the same name as the reigning sovereign, or the ancesl or of the sovereign, it had to be changed ; the magic word "Liberty" was sup pressed ; all conspiracy against any established power, although it were only fiction, was sup pressed. So ranch for the public censor as he then existed in Italy.

THEATRE ROYAL.

"The King's Eival" was again performed last evening with marked success. Miss Coi ■ville, as Noll Ghtynne, sustained the character in tho incomparable manner in which .-he has always performed her part,. Mr. Iloskins, as Richmond,, also received tho well-merited plaudits of a large audience, arid many of our old favorites contributed to the aucceas of the piece. Mrs. Mill; Mr. Jones, Mr. Hydes, and olfiers added to Ihe laurels they had already wo!!-earned. Tin's evening will bo produced Morion's beautiful comedy of "Sji-'cd liie Plough" This is oue of the fines!, plays ever acted, and considering thitt the su.bjc-'t is specially appropriate to tbo OCM-* •' !.;' tiiis afternoon's festivities, is cer tii'.r ' ■ i.;w a .full house.

The high reputation Olsons tomato eaucc has obtained as a household condiment, has brought many inferior articles into the market The public are therefore warned not to bo im posed upon with rubbish, but ask for Olson's genuine tomato sauce, and see that hi* name is on the bottle. "To Mr. Hans Olson.— Dear Sir, —By some mistake a bottle of your tomato sauce was put away ia. my house, and remained uncorked foa upwards of twelve months. The came bottle of sauce was after wards used at my own table, and I found it was equally as. good as when first made.—T. W. Boonin, wholesale and retail grocer, 218, Queen-street, Auckland."—[Aoyx.j Yesterday's Herald has the following : —It is possible that tho Provincial Council may not meet at so early a date as had been expected. The explanation of this is as follows: —It appears that his Honor the Superintendent some time 6ince informed his Executive that they might call the Council together for any day after the 20th of Novem ber. A circular letter was addressed to each member, to the effect that the Council would assemble on the 22nd of this month. The session of tho General Assembly has lasted longer than was anticipated. It appears that the Council can only be summoned by the Superintendent, and " under the Provincial Beal." Of course the seal is here, and His Honor is yet in Wellington. It is, however, probable that the Superintendent will arrive here before the 20th, and if tbat should be so, the notices already issued will bo deemed sufficient, and there will bo time to announce the meeting of the Council in the gazette. Mbs. G-hundy.—"What will Mrs.iQ-rundy say ?" observes Once a Week, used to be con stantly in people's mouths, as applied to the late editor, now dead, of a well-known Conser vative daily. But the phrase was originally from Tom Morton's clever comedy, ■" Speed the Plough." The play opens with a view of a farmhouse, where Farm, r Ashfield is dis covered at a table, enjoying his ale and pipe, and holding the following colloquy with hi wife, Dame Ashfield :— Ashfield : Well, dame, welcome whoam. What■.'news does thjee bring rrom market? Dame : .Wh*t news, husbimd ?: What I always told youi-thut Farmer Grundy's wheat brougbfcfive shillings a quarter more than ours did. Ashfield .- All the better Tor he. Dame: And I assure you Dame G-vundy's butter wua quite the crack of the market. Ashu'eld : Be quite, woolye ? Always ding, dinging Dame Grundy into my ears.
