The Athenceuvn says it is rumoured that Mr Sullivan has been commissioned to compose an opera expressly for the Italian Theatre in St Petersburg for the season 1876 7, provided illdrae Nilsson be engaged to enact the principal part. If the work should be produced, it will, of course, be heard at the new Opera House on the Thames Embankment.
Messrs Bagster and Sons have _ (the Academy says) determined to publish a collection of all the chronological and historical materials-which exist in the cuneiform inscriptions of Assyria and Babylonia, and the work of translator and editor will be undertaken by Mr George Smith. Tie volume will be entitled “ The Assyrian E pony in Canon.” The strict words of the original documents will alone be given, and no attempt made to harmonise dates, to fill up lacunae, or to evolve theories.
