The Italian Opera in Paris is about to close. On
Sunday Tamburitii took his benefit, which yielded him a sum of 10,000 francs. Malibran was present, and delighted Mdlle. Grisi by proceeding from her box to the stage, and warmly complimenting her rival in fame an& beauty upon her acting and singing. Malibran, whose first marriage has been annulled in the French Courts, yesterday bestowed her hand upon the celebrated violin player, M. Beriot, before the Mayor of the second municipal district of Paris. Her heart had long been delivered over to the same quarter. Among the persons who attended the civil nuptials, were the Marquis de Louvois, Baron de Perignon, and the eotnposer of the Illnette de Portici. The bride leaves us to-morrow for England. It is said that besides her engagement in London, Malibran has entered into one with the directors of the Scala Theatre, which will yield her 600,000f. in three years.—Paris Correspondent of the Post.
