London, December 13.  A gentleman was exclaiming lately
against the very high salaries given to the opera singers. A
good voice says he, stands the manager in at least 2000l. a
year, and under a three years contract.  What is that, cries
another gentleman, to the salaries given at the opera house,
near Westminster Hall, where the manager often pays double
the sum for a first rate voice, and is under a contract for
seven years!
