The audience assembled on the occasion testified its sense of her good will by an unexpected reception and lavish plaudits throughout the whole evening; and Madame Rossi Caccia, although not to be cited as a thoroughly successful artist, retired from the boards of Her Majesty's Theatre, after a performance honoured by sufficiently flattering applause.
