Opera House - "The Scouts."

The sight in and around the opera house last night during the performance given by Morlacchi, Wild Bill, et al was simply astonishing. Probably the auditorium of that building was never stormed by so large a crowd of people before. We have seen it packed full, when it appeared impossible to get another person in it, but last night was certainly ahead of anything ever seen there before. Hundreds went disappointed away as they were unable to get inside the door. The seats, boxes, gallery, stools, aisles, stairs, railings and every possible inch of standing room were occupied. The doors on the side of the dress circle were opened, and many at once took up their position in the halls, standing on stools and peering over the heads of the audience to try to catch a glimpse of the stage.

The beauty and accomplishments of Mdlle Morlacchi are well known, and the celebrated danseuse, as usual, charmed her audience into the most enthusiastic applause. The noted artiste must be seen to be appreciated, and we advise those of our readers who have not as yet witnessed her remarkably graceful dancing and posturings to go to the opera house to-night and see her.

In the farce which opened the performance Morlacchi had a good opportunity of showing her peculiar talents. She speaks the Italian, French and Spanish languages fluently, and her English has just enough foreign accent to make it pleasant to hear. In this farce -- "Thrice Married," she sang one or two French songs in a splendid manner, showing that she possessed a remarkable combination of talent. It is a rare thing to see a danseues upon whose physical strength there is a constant strain possessed of even a fair share of vocal talent, but Morlacchi is gifted with a voice which though not much power shows great cultivation and sweetness. The drama of "The Scouts of the Plains" is of the highest sensational order, and also from the distinguished men who present it has but little attraction. The night of three such men as Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack is enough to draw out a crowd. These men appear on the stage with great ease and of course bring out the [pieces?] of border life with great power and naturalness. Their acting is very good. This physique of Wild Bill is splendid, and, indeed, the same may be said of them all. They appear again
to-night, and probably the same [?] in regard to the crowd will be repeated.
