An interlude occurred at the opera on Saturday evening, not mentioned in the bills, which afforded no little astonishment to those present. An honorable M. C., (Hon. Colonel, is it not!) influenced by an excitement of spirits, whether patriotic or not, we cannot say, at the close of the brilliant duett of Valtellina and Perozzi in the second act, broke out in most unoperatic-like yells, calling for the Battle of New Orleans and the Fourth of July in Italian, and delivered himself of a most unique speech. This exhibition was properly repressed by the officers after some little difficulty; and the opera proceeded to its beautiful termination without further interruption.—Washington Whig Standard.
