A DUEL BETWEEN OPERA SINGERS.

The lyric stage is not free from the realities of life. A Melbourne weakly journal records that a somewhat unexpected incident oc curred in the Princess' Opera House during the performance of 'II Trovatore" on March !•. When Signor Cecchi and Madame States had finished the duet which brought tho third act to a conclusion, the prima donna left tho stage rather abruptly. The tenor was disconcerted, and on reaching tho wings made use of some uncomplimentary allusions in very choice Italian to tho lady. Ho was overhear! by ©rlandini, who, probably moved by a chivalric :lesire to defsnd the fair name of Leonora, and avenge the wrongs of the Conti di Luna upon the body of Manrico, drew his sword and made a rush at the base traducer. Fortunately the sword was blunted, and tho weapon glance 1 harmlessly off Cecchi's breast., but inflicted a ilssh -wound upon his hand. Quick as lightning Manrioo drew his stage sword, and but for the inter ference of the chorus a roost dramatic conflict would have taken place behind the scenes. If Melbourne is to be visited bj many more Italian artiste?, we fear that a stong force of police will have to be kept behind tho scenes.
