Russian Officers at the Opera House.—Admiral Popoff, M. Kostromitinoff (Russian Consul,) and a large number of the officers attached to the Russian steam-frigates Novick and Rynda, visited the Opera House last evening. At eight o'clock they entered the theatre and proceeded to the boxes and seats set apart for their accommodation. The Russian and American flags, entwined, were suspended over the proscenium boxes and in front of that part of the dress circle occupied by the guests of the evening. A few minutes after eight o'clock, the orchestra played "God save the Czar," the Russian national anthem—the officers and their friends standing during its performance. At its conclusion there was loud and prolonged applause which lasted many minutes. The orchestra then played "Hail Columbia" and "Yankee Doodle," which called forth continued clapping, in which the Russian officers joined with enthusiasm. The feeling manifested towards the gentlemen, last evening, at the Opera House, showed that our citizens, in common with the country generally, entertain towards the Russian nation a warm attachment.—S.
