      ( From our Special Correspondent . ) Paris , 1 st May , 1867 . Any one at all acquainted with Paris life knows the excitement | which importance is felt . Folks about- rush a first to the representation Box-officeand at to any the theatre Office des of TMatres , prepared to accede to the exorbitant , demands imposed , unon them , bv lawless , tradersas thoutrh the uiece were doomed

      , to one single representation , and must be seen that very night , or not at all . In the case of M . Gounod's workwhich saw the h lig ;? s ht been at tile kept Theatre boiiing JLyri foi quc a considerable on Saturday period wtznixigt , inasmuch * the excitement as the ! work had been expected : since the beginning- ai the year .

All ! this is vcy odd , and uatti . somebody explains it we tuvist , ' be time content , that " they to suppose manage , these without things much better to in support France us .

M . Gounod's Rojuco and J ' id let docs not begin with an overture ; it is introduced by a short and sombre prelude in D

      In the second act we have the balcony scene , and to tlio . se who appreciate the garden scene in Faust ^ I need say no more than that" M . Gounod has again proved that in the musical expression of the passion of love , he has not , and probably has the never depth had , an yet equal the de : licacy the exquisite , of his languor orchestral , the accompani wealth of melody ments , , are ail here , and anybody hearing the second act of Romeo must needs own that the musical -embodiment of love can go no further . niiinin 11 ccjii 1 /
