NEW YORK-The opera season opened auspiciously last evening. A larger or more brilliant audience has rarely been seen within the walls of Academy that that which greeter Midme. Guerrabellay as Violetta, in the Traviata. Mdme. Guerrabella's début was a decided success. She is, without any reservation, one of the most charming actresses (in opera of course) that has ever appeared on the boards of the Academy. Prima donnas are not generally noted for their beauty, but this admirable artiste would create a furore for that rare gift if for nothing In addition, however, to her graces of person and skill as an actress, she is a most enjoyable if she is not a great singer. Her compass of voice is limited, but good training in the best continental method is admirable, and shows is an unusual pleasure to hear a part sung without an appearance of effort, and this the débutante of last evening accomplished. Mr. Grau may felicitate himself on having made so charming an acquisition. The rest of the performance there was hardly up to the Academy standard, which is not a high one. Brignoli sang as sweetly, and acted about as carelessly as ever, Amodia was in good voice, and acted with unusual verve. The chorus ought to have been better drilled.

ALEXANDRE & SON Have taken out a new Patent for the Drawing-Room Harmonium, which effects the greatest improvement they have ever made in the Instrument. The Drawing-Room Models will be found of a softer, purer, and in all respects more agreeable tone than any other instruments. They have a perfect and easy means of producing a diminuendo or crescendo on any one note or more; the bass can be perfectly subdued, without even the use of the Expression Stop, the great difficulty in other Harmoniums. To each of the New Models an additional 80 blower is attached at the back, so that the wind can be supplied by a second person, and still under the new Patent the performer can play with perfect expression. 8 0 3 0 3 0 ASCHER.

These Instruments are a perfect substitute for the Organ; the upper keyboard has a Venetian Swell, and acts as a Soft or Choir Organ, on which a perfect diminuendo and crescendo can be produced; and the lower keyboard answers the purpose of a Full Organ. The tone of these Instruments more closely resembles that of an Organ than any Harmonium yet produced, being rich and pure in quality. The construction is of a simple character, and not likely to be affected by damp, rendering them peculiarly suited to Churches. An additional blower is attached to each Instrument.

The public, who so long appreciated it when heard on the theatrical boards, will soon have an opportunity of personally testing 5 0 its merits, and cannot fail but be struck not only with the charm of its simple and 10 0 thoroughly Irish melody-substantiating its claim to its title of "Killarney"-bat also with the still rarer charm of its being associated with words so full of poetical grace and sentiment that surprise is no longer felt at the inspiration given to the composer of the music, particularly when it is known that they are from the elegant pen of Mr. Falconer, the accomplished author of the renowned "Peep o' Day," and who, in that wonderfully popular drama, displays some exquisite touches of refined poetry, that not a little contribute to enchance the merits of its interesting plot.
