Globe Theatre. - "Erminie." This is the first time the Casino Company have appeared outside their own theatre, which seems a pity, as it is a company of such merit.

The opera is mounted on a scale of splendor which far out-does any of the former ones at this theatre. On the whole, Pepita is a success. This is the last week of the season...
