      ENTE RTAIIOtEXTS . At Her Majesty ' s Theatre , " II Barbiere di Siyig-lia" was given last night for the first time this season . Madame Borgbi-Mamo ' s Rosina was the principal point of attraction ., Her impersonation throughout wns faultless in a dramatic sense , and her fine voice and brilliant execution elicited the utmost admiration . The Figaro of Signor Evernnli , and the Almavioa of Si # uor Belart , were worthy of all praise . The new Bullet , in . which Mademoiselle Pocchini is the centre of attraction , was highly enjoyed . The pantomimo and the dancing of this lady have rarely been equalled .

      Madame Alboni is to make her first appearance on Saturday , as Maffeo Oraini , in " Lucrezia Borgia . " At the Olympic on Monday , a new version of " La Belle More , " familiar years ago as "My Wife ' s Mother , " with Mr . W . Farren and the late Mrs . Glover as the principal characters , was brought out with decided " success , as Dearest Mama , the parts formerly assigned to tho departed artists being effectively sustained by Mr . Addison and Mrs . Leigh Murray . The version is cleverly adapted to modern usages , and a well-appointed scene , painted by Mr , Telbin , is in accordance with the known elegance of tho Olympic Theatre .

      " John the Baptist" was performed last evening at St . Martin s Hall for tho first timo in this country . , This oratorio is the production of a musician at Vienna named Johannes Hager . __ Mr . Hullah , recognising its merits , ventured upon the labour of introducing- it to the public . The mission and character of the Baptist as the forerunner of tho Messiah , affords amplo scope for the loftiest inspirations of the musical art , and , although nothing so high haa been achieved by tho composer , wo cannot wholly denounce it . Tho principal solo singers were Mi * s Bunks and Miss Palmer , Mr . W . Cooper and Mr . Suntley . _ Miss Bunka ' a two airs " Fear not ,

      Zaeharias , " and " I am Gabriel , " in the first part , were well given . " Elizabeth brought forth a son , " . ' * The ehild grew / ' were finely rendered by Miss palmer . The quartett " Repent ye , " was deservedly encored . Mr . Wilbye Cooper rendered admirably the plaintive air "Who art thoup" ¦ The choruses . throughout were worked with energy , particularly the " Hallelujah Chorus , " and " Shout ; ye , O daughters of Israel , " whieh concludes the second part . As much as possible was done by the talented company to render the new oratorio successful . ' On Wednesday evening a Concert was given by Miss Eleanor Armstrong , at the Hanover-square Rooms , which was attended by a numerous and fashionable audience . The programme was of a varied and interesting character . Madame Laura Baxter , who is a most pleasing concert singer , gave the aid of her valuable services to Misa Armstrong . She gave Meyerbeer's charming aria from Dinorah , " Fanciulle che il core , " admirably ; and she was equally successful in Mr . Vincent Wallace ' s beautiful new ballad , " The Last

      Good-bye ; " and in the duet , " Dolce conforto , " from Mercadante ' s II Giwramentp , which she sang with Miss Armstrong , she gave a fine proof of her skill and taste as a vocalist . Miss Armstrong ' s beautiful soprano was heard to great advantage in Mozart ' s aria , " Non temer , " while her rendering of the ballad , " Flow on , O Silver Rhine , " from Mr . Wallace ' s Lurline t in which she was finely accompanied by Mr . Ellis Roberts on the harp , was marked by a tasteful appreciation of the character of the composition . In the duet already noticed , in which Miss Armstrong sang with Madame Laura Baxter , and in Other pieces , she displayed qualities as a vocalist that will , we feel sure , enable her , by-and-by , to lake a high position in her profession . The instrumentation was entrusted to Mr . Charles [ . Salaman , Herr Adolph Ries ( pianoforte ) , Herr Louis Ries ( violin ) , Herr J . Lidel ( violoncello ) , and Mr . Ellis Roberts ( harp ) . These gentlemen acquitted themselves admirably in all

      that they did , and the audience expressed their pleasure 111 a manner that stamped the concert as a most pleasing and successful one . Mr . F . Mori , the talented ballad-writer , under whom Miss Armstrong has studied , conducted with-. his well-known ability . On Monday night , the fourth of the New Philharmonic concerts attracted a dense crowd of amateurs to St . James ' s Hall . The symphonv was Mozart ' s unrivalled " Jupiter . " The overtures were CherUbim ? s > " Medea j" Beethoven ' s to the "Egmont" of Goethe , and the same composer ' s overture to the ballet of " Prometheus , " which was exceedingly welcome . The solo player was Herr Lubeck , whose performances were unanimously applauded . Mdlle . Borghi-Mamo and Signor Belletti , in ajvariety of beautiful pieces , thoroughly gratified the audience— -the lady in —a national Neapolitan air , and the gentleman inDonizetti ' s bravura , " Bravo , bravo , il mio bel core . " Considerable enthusiasm was created by these

      sm ^ firs ' ' ^ " Madame Tussaitd ' s . "—Theadditionswhich have been recently made to the historical gallery in Baker Street are of a very attractive description . They consist of the effigies of the earlier monarchs of England , and will be followed by a series of figures , many ot which are almost completed , And are intended to fill up the hiatus between Henry the First and Richard the Third . There are the Conqueror and his queen , William Rufins , Stephen , and Henry the ffirstr—^^ ese-effigies- ^ re-not ^ mei ^^ maginai ^ - r ^ pr ^ sentqtior | s ot those personages , but authentic copies from genuine original miniatures . The artists have also made good use of the Bayeux tapestry

      —an invaluable remnant of the middle ages . The figures , altogether , form an artistic , historical , and antiquarian study . 1 hefigure of Garibaldi is at this moment of peculiar interest , and should be seen by every one .

Lord Wicklow said that , as a rule , he objected to reject bills which h » d been agreed to by the other House ; he thought , however , that the Paper Duties Repeal Bill was one of that character which would justify thorn in making it an exception to that rule .
