IL DABBIERE. -Thero may bo more broadth ia Semiramide and mon dramatic fervor and matu? rity ol muslo il thought in Qttilluume TU, but II Iljrbitre bin? always b.'cn the popular favorite, rn >ro frequently played and more thoroughly enjoyed than onv other work ot HHaestro Boestnl. Ami this is not unreasonable, for the framework wblrhbo'da tho w itty and nonchalant Figaro, tho graceful Almx viva and the coquotlish Rosma la ono of pure music undefiled, rather than ol moduli costume or tawdry Boonie sph ndor. 1 he opera rclioJ for Its sue. ess upon tho Binging and acting of the three pi incl pal performers, and not upon a stir? ring chorus or ugly women, or the faded gracos or an attonu dod corps i'e ballet. In it ?cir the mane 1B iho perfection of the Italian style; a style whioh has not the massive force ol* Meyer? beer or the occasional tiukliu^ e'up-trapol Verdi, l>u'. which depend H on smooth and natural melodies, nd oi ned with el UK le rn of musical po'irlf, and with rippling cadences winch aro to tho theme itsoir what tho dow drop ls to tho loaf or tho 3pray to the fall In? fountain. This rouble demands a thorough cultivation of thc voice, and above ell steadi? ness and evenness of ?style, and M'llo Durand may bo congratulated that sho choto for tho opera to bc performed last night ono which weald show to the lull her own I-kill, and in which sho could bc r.oconded by artists BO ablo and BO consciont'oui as Petril!!, tarli, and the well-nigh ii compatablo Brlg uoll. M'He Durand played Rosini last night tor tho first time, end so mark- d a new epoch lu her artiBtic life. But tho duy should be distinguished by a wbito stone, for tho performance thtoughout was in every way satisfactory. M 'He "Durand as the fair b?n?ficiaire, is the fliel of whom to speak. Doubtless the peculiar circumstances under which tho performance was given took.awsy the nervousm SR Incidental to a first appearance, and lent additional piquancy to her manner, and a great r fluency to her voico. But, however this may be, lt 1B certain that her Rosina was far superior to her Leonora, and evento her Norina. The acting throughout was chai ming, and the grand aria sTna Vooepoco fa was Buna in a manner which is seldom equalled In these degenerate day*. In the "sieging lesson" scene. that in which prime donne exerclso their vocal chevaux de battaille-M'do Dui and Sang Mien's Echo Bong with oxqulrite neat ness ard clearness, added to a grace of manner which we do not attempt to de? scribe. Applause and M'llo Bu.rand beoame sy? nonyms, and, from ber first note to her last, the audience thundered out their approval whenever the opportunity came. Signor Brignoli sang aa only a thorough artist can sing, using his noble voice with consummate skill, and delivering the graceml music of bis ref? with an even fascinating effect. Signor Petri iii, who on the previous evening had shown himself to be a thoughtful actor, was thorough, ly at home as Figaro, The versatile Barber laughod and sang, and jetted and intrigued, fairly twinkling with life and spirit, while Largo al Factotum was sung with a force and yet with a rapidity of enunciation which few can equal. Figaro wem? to be tho favorite role of Signor Pctn ill, andiu none, so far aa we know, does he appear to greater advantage. Signor. Sarti and fci?nor Locatelli entered with spirit into their res; co ive parts, and in every way made the most of tbem. 'Hie audience, we arc glad to eay, was a full and fashionaole one, and doubtless, but for tho circum? stance c f the St. Cecilia ball occurring on tho same evening, would have been even moro oiowdod, Brignoli and bis company havo our best wishes for their tucoess In their Southern tone. THE SESSION OF CHABLESTON PBEBBTTKBT closed on Monday afternoon, having boon character? ized by great interest and unanimity. * li cv. ihomas ll Law was r eappointcd Evangelist of the Presby? tery for the low country chnrcbos, and a call was prc. Bcnted to a city minister to take charge of the church at Ai ken. 1 he sessions of the Fri ebytery were at? tended by ladies and others connected with our Prosiiy teri m congregations, and by many ministers of other d enominationa. With the latter ploaeurt and fraternal greetings were exchanged. Presbytery reconvenes in October, at Beech Island. HOTEL ARRIVALS, April 13. - fayiiioji Hotel.

I desire to present a few facts of publia in? terest in regard to George W. Clark, late army sut? ler, and now Act lng Mayor of Charleston. They will serve to illustrate tbe art of publio plunder, and explain, in some measure, why tbe city government requires seven hundred and ten thousand dollars to meei the expenditures of the city for the current year. > The Acting Mayor recently sold to the city all the spikes used in the plank road, at olght dollars per keg, when their prise, in open market, was BIX dollars per keg. He Is the purveyor for all the city iostitutiosB. furnishing, fvom hts store, all the meal, flour, bacon, salt, oil, liquors, Ac. These articles are paid for by the city at rates far above those charged by ordinary dealers, although of the most inferior quality. The shipmasters st thia port reported to a high government offlolal, t bat the food issued to tbe patients at our Marine Hospi? tal was inferior and unwholesome. An investigation was made, and tbe flour, meal and meat were found to be utterly unmerchantable and unsound. It was shown by tb* physician of the Marine Hospital, that these articles were purchased from the Acting Mayor, the city, of courte, paying the highest prices for them. The Acting Mayor recently had his premiaes on Calhoun-?treet tlnno i and whitewashed, and the woikmen were all paid by tbs etty. He and hi? co? partners have absorbed ali the etty contract?, like a huge sponge. One of the leting Aldermen tarnishes all the lumber, another the lime, and another the brick ; while the Anting Mayor, who ls a universal genius, sells a little of everything to the olly, from s barrel ef flour to a dosen ancient and unmerchant? able eggs. Is lt not a violation of law and public decency that the Mayor o.* th's city should be at the .ams time Its ohief purveyor ? He le ess officie the guardian of the fond? of the city, and should be "above suspicion ;" yet this man, as a member of th* Oomndttee on Accounts, audits his own account*, and aa M?yor draws hfs checks upon the city treasury to pay them. Ko wonder that his "regard for Hw" will not permit bim to vacate bis seat on the demand of the Republican Mayor elect A CITIZEN.
