ITALIAN OrERA.-To-nght the splendid opera
LSeyeSia Borgia is to be performed, with the two
prima donnas. We hope that there will be crowd
ed house, for il il very evident that unless those
who profess to have taste for music, extend
more liberal and uniform degree of patronage in
future, will not be able TO retain this delightful
amusement amongst US. We have already given
statement of the receipts and expenditures during
the present season, showing that the artists after
paying all expenses, but poorly paid their aver
age salary being only about S25 week.


Yet there is something to hope from the musical
taste OF New York. Since the first establishment
OF the opera, the patronage has been slowly, but
regularly increasing. During the present season
the receipts have been considerably above what
they were under Mr.. Palmo's arrangement. Many
supposed that he made money, but quite the con-
trary was the case, as the following statement
shows:-
