A new burlesque ( say the Fra ) , by one of our most popular authors , is in active preparation for Drury-lane Theatre , ancl will be immediately produced . The pantomine for Christmas is hourly receiving Mr . AVm . Beverley's attention , numerous artists being already at work to produce his unrivalled scenery ancl effects .

There is a German Opera now at Geneva , with an English prima donna , a Miss Bywater . Mr . Morton is giving a selection from " La Circassienne , " M . Auber ' s last opera , at the Oxford .
A committee we (^ 7 ieiJcEKi ») , areinformed , has been organised , with the object of offering a testimonial to Signor Costa , in the course of next season , in recognition of his remarkable services to music in England . A fitter object could not in music be found ; be it remembered , too , that the ease of Signor Costa is unique , since he has gained a European fame ancl pre-eminence during an unbroken residence in London . A success more gradually won—rnore thoroughly merited—is not in the annals of music .
It was currently reported on the Boulevard des Italiens , some days ago , that Donizetti ' s "Anna Bolena"is to be revived at the Italian Opera of Paris for Madame Alboni . —Signor Mercadante ' s " Leuora " is more certainly to be given there . An American lady , Miss Adelaide Phillips , is engaged .

The Gazette Musicale of Paris announces a singer , Senhora Rosario Zapater , who will not come out yet for awhile , though she is now , when only seventeen years of age , an accomplished mistress of her art , with , a remarkable voice .
The great meeting of the " Orpheonistes " in Paris , afc which 8 , 000 voices were to sing , was helcl last week . This appears to have excited less sensation than the former gathering . A posthumous comedy by Scribe , entitled " La Frileuse , " has beeu produced afc the Vaudeville Theatre , without success , in spite ofthe aid given to it by the presence of Mdlle . Cellier , who is now a reigning beauty of the Parisian theatres .
M . Bouffe has returned to the stage at the Theatre Gymnase . The Parisian version , or rather call it equivalent , of " The Colleen Bawn , " " Le Lac cle Glenaston , " has been successfully produced at the Theatre Ambigu-Comique . —M .

A new comedy , " L'Afctache d'Ambassade , " by M . Meithae , and a new actress , Mdlle . Juliette Beau , are between them attracting fche world to the Theatre Vaudeville .
