AMUSEMENTS.

MADAME CAiIREXO. After a Melbourne sen ,on of great success and most unusual enthusiasm, which has been repeated in Dunedin and Wellington, Madan.e C'arreno will be heard in New P!/mouth on Tuesday next, when a grand concert will be given in the Theatre R'yal. A host of admirers are keenly anticipating hearing this marvellous piani-: once again, after an interval of three years. The box plan will be open?d at Collier's to-mor-row (Thursday) morning at 10 o'clock. Madame Carreno has received pupils from every quarter of the globe, including South Africa, which she is about to visit for the first time, and Australia. Among her American ones was Dr. A. MacDowell, the composer of much beautiful music whose worth is now in course of recognition. Carreno speaks of him as "Eddie," in memory of his days of Knickerbockers and Czerney's studies. It was she who introduced to the Berlin public MacDowell's "Second Concerto," •her splendid performance securing for it a tremendous success. It may be said, also, that she revealed to European audiences Chopin's Polonaise in A flat, Op. 53, that he could be virile and Herculean, though he manifested these qualities in so few works, by the dazzling mastery of her interpretation of it.
