IMMIGRATION OF CRIMINALS FROM GERMANY INTO


THE UNITED STATEs.-A statement has been goine


the rounds of the newspapers intimating that tho


small German governments are In the habit OF


sending their convicts to the United States in orde


to avoid the expense of keeping them. This has


given great offence to our German immigrants, who


number amongst them some OF the most respecta


BILE and influential of our citizens. Some move


ment is contemplated by them in relation to this


charge, in order to ascertain whether any ground


exists for it or not.


The ITALIAN OPERA.-Lucrezia Borgia will be
repeated tonight, and we have strong hopes thai
the house will be as brilliant and as crowded as


was on the occasion of the previous representation
Indeed, fashionable people seem TO be awakening
slowly to true appreciation of the beauty, the
refinement, and graces of the classic musica
drama, as it now exists at the Opera House. We
are not without hopes that before many weeks
the distinguished artists will be quite satisfied that
New York can and will support the Opera. The
former internal squabbles Of the troupe reflected q
great deal OF ridicule on the Opera itself and in
jured its prospects materially for the time. But
since their present democratic organization, they
have been doing very well and great good feeling
exists. We have now the strongest hopes Of the
establishment of the Opera under the most cheer
ing auspices.


OLE BULLS CoNcERT-The tremendous storm
of wind, snow and rain which set in yesterday
afternoon, and continued with uninterrupted vio-
lence to near ten o'clock, was sufficient excuse
for the failure of any public entertainment. bu'
Ole Bull gave his concert, notwithstanding, anc
despite the tempest that howled without. all was
harmony and enthusiasm within. The "Niagara'
wss gloriousy played, and was received, this time
with prompt demonstration OF delight on the
part of the audience 1t is truly great perform
ance, ,ssand will be more and more admired every
time 1t is heard. The "Solitude OF the Prairie, =
another new piece by Ole Bull, was produced fol
| the first time, last evening, and displayed won
derful diversity and depth OF fancy and power
These two pieces contain within themselves iunda


mental elements of greatness, and are destined to
live long after their author has ceased to guide
| their harmonies with his magic bow. They ought


TO place Ole Bull at once in the front rank OF mus
cal composers, and we do not doubt that they viii


be received, upon their production in Europe, witt
| the most unbounded admiration.
