"Mr. Ascher, whose fame as a writer of pianoforte music is European, has proved himself in Alice, where art thou?' as consummate an artist as a vocal writer as he is renowned as a composer for the pianoforte. The melody is graceful, flowing, and cri. ginal, full of the most original feeling and thought. It has been sung by Sims Reeves, Gardoni, Mr. Tennant, Mr Perren, Mr. Tedder, Mr. Melchor Winter, and all the leading tenors of the day. Two editions of this romance have been printed--one in B flat for ladies' voices, and the other in D flat for tenors. Altogether, we have seldom met with a composition embodying all the elements of popularity in so great a degree as M. Ascher's romance of Alice, who art thou?' and one that must, on its merits alone, become the most popular song of the present day."-(Irish Times.)

St. Petersburg.—(From a Correspondent.)—According to the terms of his contract, Signor Verdi is bound to produce his new opera, La Forza del Destino, by the middle of January, at the latest. The libretto, written by Piave, and founded on a Spanish drama, is said to be highly interesting. The soprano parts are intended for Signore Lagrua and Fioretti; the tenor part for Tamberlik; the baritone and bass parts for Graziani, Debassini and Marini. Verdi has composed, also, some ballet music,which, should circumstances require the adoption of such a course, may be omitted without prejudice to the opera. Report speaks very favourably of this newest production of the prolific master's pen. Verdi himself says that he has made fewer concessions than is usual with him to suit the taste of the general public, but that, in this instance, he has written a work which can bear the strictest criticism.
