Verdi, it would seem, is still maintaining his ground in

Italy. His last opera, It Trecatore, lately produced at the Scala at Milan, has created a furore, and bed six-and-twenty representations during the season. His Iffseffedieri, (which failed in London though Jenny Lind was the prima donna,) and Ef71(171i, have been among the successful of the pieces re- cently performed at the Scala. Clara Novello is at present the prima donna at that theatre, and in great favour with the Milanese. Johanna Wagner is at the Court Theatre at Berlin ; reaping laurels as a vocal tragedian, to comfort her under her legal troubles, the long arm of Lon- don law having reached her even in the Prussian capital.
