      Wine op Maxt . —Among the vast number of testimonials that appear in favour of Allaopfj ' s Ale , it is remarkable that only one of them supplies the long felt deficiency of a popular definition of this unique production of Burton-upon-Trent . Others have very minutely examined its medical , sanatory , and nutritive properties ; and , what is rather unusual with professors of chemistry , or of the healing art , give undoubted evidence of its superiority as a daily beverage , founded upon long personal and other familiar experience . It was , however , left to the Sanatory Commissioner of the Lancet to impart a social influence , also , to the use of Allsopp ' s Ale . Summing up its excellence in the single terse expression of " Wine of Malt . " As the result of his own analysis , he declares , that " From the pure and wholesome nature of the ingredients employed , the moderate proportion of alcohol present , and the very considerable quantity of aromatic anodyne bitter , derived from hops , contained in these beers , they tend to preserve the tone of the stomach , and conduce to the restoration of the health of that organ , when in a state of weakness or debility . " And then conclusively adds , that " These bitter beers differ from all other preparations of malt in containing a smaller amount of extractive matter , thus being less viscid and saccharine , and consequently more easy of digestion ; they resemble , indeed , from their lightness , a wine of malt , rather than an ordinary fermented infusion , and it is very satisfactory to find that a beverage of such general consumption is entirely free from every kind of impurity . " With such tangible testimony as this we shall not be surprised if our importations of wines from the German rivers , and the French and Spanish ports , are materially affected by a natural preference for our native supply of " wine of niolt" from Burton-upon-Tront . —Globe .

      THE GOLD FIELDS OF AUSTRALIA . A moving panorama of the Australian gold districts , with a few separate pictures in the series , has been opened at 309 , Regent-street . The picture is well painted , by Mr . J . S . Prout , from his own sketches taken in the country ; with aid in the marine parts from Mr . T . S . Robins ; in the animals , by Mr . C . " Weigall . The spectator is supposed to begin ^ the voyage at Plymouth ; to touch at Madeira , Rio de Janeiro , and the Cape of Good Hope ; passing on the way , Teneriffe , and the Island of St . Paul . Many of the usual incidents of the voyage are seen , —the flights of birds , and flying fish ; the disporting of dolphins ; even the capture of a whale is brought in . Arrived in Australia , the shifting scene comprises , Melbourne , the Valley of the Yarra-yarra , the V alley of the Goulburn , Geelong , an Australian road , the diggings at Mount Alexander , a Kangaroo hunt on the Illawarra , Sydney , the Parramatta river , the Blue Mountains , and the diggings on Summer Hill creek . The effect is aided by an oral explanation / The stay-at-home traveller , and the " intending emigrant , " are really able to collect from this picture some idea of the voyage , the country , and the actual state of affairs at the diggings .

      PIETRO IL GRANDE . The immense choral and orchestral , as well as scenic preparations , have deferred the appearance of Pietro il Grande at Covent Garden . Jullien is not the man to stake his reputation on imperfect rehearsals , though at

      this late moment of the season he can scarcely hope that the forthcoming performances will do complete justice to a work of such high , pretensions . They will be little better than full rehearsals . But the opera will be " mounted , " and , we trust , read y for a long and brilliant career next year , when the Maestro , with all his honours thick upon him , will be reaping fresh laurels beyond the Atlantic . Nothing has been wanting on the part of Mr . Gye to sustain the first great effort of Jullien j and , no doubt , the immense outlay will be well repaid . Even at a time when " all the world" is out of town , we have reason to believe that " all the world" will be present at this " solemnity , " and , among others , a number of distinguished continental virtuosi , intent upon the discovery of that rare phenomenon , a new composer . Pietro is announced positively for Tuesday next . Z .

      SIGNOR NEGRINI . Ttte aopearance of Signor Negrini , so long delayed , took place on Tuesday , A Sid tot make the audience deeply regret the delay . He is one of ? h 7 " robustious" tenors : a man after Verdi ' s own heart . What voice he ™ av once have had has been screamed away , or nearly so . How noticehlp it is that all the singers who have come from Italy of late , heralded Wereat reputations , have one and all turned out failures , and failures from the sam e screaming cause ! No one seems to think of svnging ; it iq all declamation and hysterica passio . I may as well point , in passing , to the illustration this affords of what I said some weeks ago on the Meyerbeer school , and its tendency to make the opera subordinate to theatrical effects : as the composers sacrifice music to effects , so do the actors sacrifice singing to declamation .
