The chapter of accidents and squabbles at the Italian Opera

is coming to a close. The sore throats and jealousies are healed, now that the season is ended. The leave-taking of Rumex, who has been exerting himself to give effect to his grand finale, is the event of the season, in the estimation of the subscribers; the production of Cosi fan Tutte being the event that most interests the lovers of music. RIMINI'S farewell benefit, on Thursday, was an ovation offered by fashion to the most florid of vocalists.

The Ballet has been almost lost sight of amidst the confusion of the season. Yet PERROT has come out as something more than a mere India-rubber-man : in Alma he did some diablerie-dancing, that gives promise of character-pantomime. CEntro's boundings have exceeded in extent and airiness all her former flights of foot—she seemed to float in ether. GUY STEPHAN, too, has made great progress. To sum up the season's catalogue of contretemps, we may add that GRIST recovered, and FANNY ELLSLER returned to England, just in time to look on at the last performances of Runna.
