THE WESLEYAN BAZAAR.
The kazaar and sift auction in aid of the Wesleyan Circuit Liquidation of DobtFuud will open to-day at Mv Cox's old store, and remain open through to-morrow. In looking through the goods which will be offered, we observed a large display of useful and ornamental articles, among the latter being two beautiful garden vases manufactured by Messrs Vincent and Wright, and among the former a very superior set of zigzag harrows. Two hundred standard works, two saddle horses, and a heap of valuable things will also be on sale. The auction takes place at 4 p.m. to-morrow for farm produce and live stock, and for fancy articles in the evening,
No libretto of The Pirates of Tcnzance has so far been published. The authors are said to have refused £1000 for the right to perform it at the Boston Theatre. They intend to send a company of their own to that city. Adelina Patti is the most favoured of operatic singers. She basks in royal favour, and her earnings are almost fabulous in their amount ; but her prominence and her wealth bring their disadvantages, among which is the daily receipt of countless begging letters wherever she appears. A t Berlin, one night recently, the aged Emperor actually went on the stage of the Royal Opera to congratulate the diva ; but the papers which chroniclo this, publish also some letters, one of which read : " Madame you are rich, and you know what love is. Give us a few hundred marks, so that we may marry, and we will bless you everlastingly."
