The people of Edinburgh have this winter, for the first

time, got a re- gular opera, partly Italian partly German, with which they appear to be much delighted. The company is respectable ; including Madame Cara- don, Herr Reichardt, and Formes. The orchestra, chorus, and general "mounting" of the pieces, are described as good, and the most favourite operas are performed to crowded houses, with a degree of success, which (making every allowance for the enthusiastic tone of what must be re- garded as provincial criticism) appears to be not undeserved.
