OPERA HOUSE.
There was a very large audience at the Opera House last evening* to witness the .second production of the revival of the "Belle of Xew York." .Most unquestionably the appreciation ot the public is well deserved, for the revival if-i in every way a capital one. Ml' All". Stevens merits no small praise for his excellent impersonation of Ichabod Bron'son, the part formerly taken by Mr Whelan. Barring th\ fact that the imported artist had an advantage in height -.which certainly assists the character. Mr Stephens give an amazingly faithful replica of Mr YVlielaivs Brouson just as that gentleman did of the original creator of the part. Of patriotic songs we have lately had a surfeit, but that sung1 by Mr Quealy in the second act is a happy componnd of the topical and the patriotic that certainly "touches the spot." He received several recalls. '''The Belle" will be repeated to-night. ■Another matinee performance, of ''The Geisha" is announced for Saturday afternoon.
