     Talking of putting an operetta well on the stage, go and see Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience, which entered its second year, and which now is even fuller than for the last two months, so that it is seriously hoped it will draw through the whole season, and at its five hundredth performance there will be grand illuminations and an immense champagne supper for the press, but, mind you, only for the critics who praised it - the others will be Sacred Harmonic Societied. In the mean time, the whole of the first act of Gilbert's new fairy comedy is set to music; of the numbers in the second act many are ready, and will soon be musically prepared; the rest is sketched out, and by the time of the famous champagne supper the conclusion of one brilliant career and the beginning of a new one will be consecrated together. I gave the subject of this new operetta two months ago; as to the music - hush!

Mr. Arthur Sullivan, whom I need not designate as the 'celebrated composer,' has lost his mother, to whom he was sincerely and devotedly attached. Those who knew him personally will deeply sympathise with him in his grief; for although a great man in public, he is the idol of his family.
