“Mr. GRAU, in reply to many applications for the repetition of CAMMA, which created such a furore on Friday evening last, regrets to state that CAMMA having been announced for that night only, that ELIZABETH having been previously advertised for to-morrow (Monday) evening, and for the matinee on Wednesday—the last two represetations of Mme. RISTORI in New-York prior to her departure for the West, and, also, an immense number of seats and boxes already having been already secured for these representations of ELIZABETH, it would be departing from the rules of the management to change the performance; but as Mme. RISTORI’S return to New-York will be April next, when she will give her farewell performances, before leaving America for Paris, where she is engaged to appear during the Exposition Universeile, her rentree will take place here with the representation of Montanelli’s tragedy CAMMA.”
