HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The reopening of this splendid theatre, so long the great temple of the Italian Opera in England, after five years of abandonment and idioms, wee an event calculated to excite a lively interest in our world of mosio—as event, moreover, which will hereafter hold a preeminent place in the sepals of the art io this *pantry. The history of oar musical stage, indeed, for the Ind eight or nine years, has a resemblance to that et a surreersadieg period somewhat above a entsey spy whoa the establishment of an opera- Um" r mseWen to " the ling's Theatre," led to • preassietetvaley, which ended in the ruiner both. 541141011 *MIMS= of the schism and mese- quest disastrous straggle, in both eases, the similarity is remarkable : what may be the final issue of the present contest, time has yet to show. Let ne hope is this respect, the parallel will not bold good. h the muse of her Majesty's Theatre was last for the time, it was never abandoned. We have seen, from the r ecords of the law courts, that the lessee has stresseesly sad sumessfully defended hie rights against a series of attacks 1 and it now appears ' that the theatre itself has been constantly kept in a enadition fit for see. It turns oat that the tales Nish have been current about desertion and neglect —about rotten timbers, inundations of water, and Mem of rats—had mot a vestige of truth. When the eager public rushed into the house on Saturday ming, and began to gap around them, the old Swaim spot looked as if they had seen it a week be fore, Everything was the same—Dot only the beau tifalhres and symmetry of the banding, but the rich desseatioas, the painting and gilding, the magnifi mist &Weller, the well-remembered amber-coloured tandems of the boxes, the fine classic group of dumb" ny mphs on the drop curtain -- everything was se hash, bright, and delightful to the eye as ever. And all this was the work net of restoration but of presureadsa—the fast being, that the whole interior of the theatre, with all its scenery and properties, was as carefully kept in order as if it were in use from day to day. Though Whitsun•eve, when so many people have left town for the holidays, is not very favourable for the amemblag•e of a fsehioaable audience, yet the house was full in every part. Not a box or stall was unoccupied, and the pit and gallery were filled to overflowing. The coup-d'ail was se guy and brilliant as we have ever seen it. _ The opera was la Gam/do/a, one of Rossini 's early works, and one of his beat—written at that youthful period when he gave vent to that gay and comic spirit with which be wee gifted by nature, and which made him the true successor of Cimaross. The interesting heroine, too, of the pretty nursery We is 0110 of Alboni's best characters, aid she could not have does better than choose it for her first appearanos. When the curtain roes, and discovered her, in mean attire, sitting in her chimney corner, a sh out of welcome burst from the whole house, and brought her to the front of the stage. She lo oked u she used to do— not thinner certainly—but as comely and pleasant as ever, and with that open, good-humoured face which :ashes her so engaging. The opening duet of the sisters began, sang very nicely; and when Ciaderelia's voice was he ard, carelessly woods, bar 'angry bal lad, " Una volts c'era as Re," the house was hushed is breathless silence. It is impossible to imagine the effect of this simple little tune, so unitise sounding and so melancholy, uttered in those soft, low, thrilling contralto tones which belong only to Alboni. The salads ceased, and were followed by a storm of applause. She played the whole part with that quiet, woollies simplicity which has always gives her parferaisnee of it so irresistible a charm; while her exquisite execution of the highly ornate pasuges with which the music is filled op psared as simple and niters' ea her midair. Nobody can forgot the pretty scene in which Cinderella, hamming her favourite n tans, suddenly finds herself face to face with the young prince, and in her agitation drops the tray she is carrying; her fright when he speaks to her; and the breathless hurry with which, gaining confidence, she bogies to per her little tale of sorrow into his ears : nothing can be sweeter or more affecting. As to her vocal execs don, we cannot attempt to describe it. It is a gram matical solecism, sad yet we cannot help saying that if she was perfect before, she is more perfect now. Her lovely voice, while it has all its former depth and richness, hie gained additional flexibility and light ness in the higher notes; her cuostiaa has the clear, round articulation of the finest instrament, united to that living charm of the human voice which no in strument can emulate, and the effect of the whole is rendered Inexpressibly delicious by its easy flow and the total absence of anything like effort. In short, Alboni is all that she ever was, and nilre. Ca'solar!, who sem years ago did much to sus tale the declining Mims@ of this theatre, has mime then rims Mom le his art, ands now one of the nest essempilekel tenors on the stage. His appear saes ea Ileterley might wee • triumph. The beautiful L dust, sille we sea so obi,* in the scene already mentioned betwsea the Prime sad Cinderella, was on both side* the very perfeetios of singing. In die second act he introduced an air not beloeging to the open, a brilliant pima in the modern taste of the day, which he sang superbly, and with immense applause ; but we should have been better pleased had he adhered to Rossini's text. In these intrados tioes there is always an incongruity of style which is not agreeable. But Calsoleres whole manner of sustaining his part wee of the highest order. Bel ida, who was to have been the Dandle', was pre vented by sadden illness from appearing. This was an unlucky contretemps, because there lien be no better Dasdini than Belletti. But the disappoint ment was lees than might have been expected, for Signor Beneventano, in this emergency, consented to undertake the part, literally (es we were informed) at three hours' notice, and performed it without any rehearsal. This conduct, even bad Beneventano been lase 81101:411111(01 than be was, merited the highest approbation; for this gentleman, who was an entire rainier in this country, and had the right to make his d&it in the manner most advantageous to him self, had the good and generous feeling to forego this right, and consented to risk his reputation in order to aid the management at a moment of difficulty. In person—being large and t hi he s z. was not well fi tted for the bustling impudent valet; bat he showed himself well engem with the part, acted it wish spirit and intelligence, and sang the music admirably, having a fine and power ful baritone voice, and evidently a sound knowledge of his art. His merits were recognised, and he will not have reason to regret his praiseworthy conduct. Signor Zemin, who performed Don Magnifloo, is another stranger to Engles,. Accustomed as we have been to the gigantic segos of Lablache in this part, Zuccont'e voice caused mest by its comparative want of power; Eis la i het r evidently has comic talent, and represented the pompons old ass with considerable humour. The parts of the two sisters, Clotilde and Thisbe, woe sustained, much better than they usually are, by Mdlle. Berti and Mdlle. Rizzi, who looked and cuing very nicely, and acted with propriety and spirit. The ercheetra—a meet _ impeder* feature of an opera-house—is sma ll est. beth individually and col lectively. Of this we wee elaviesed before the over tare was finished, and our satielledisa was heightened by observing the spirit, eleattsseoad delicacy with wile the veins wore aosempaeisli during the whole Signet lemetti, the mew emedestor, is eel. an wodayedsesid nes, thesseably wow 'meet with his bedew.

The opera was followed by a pretty ballet-diver. tiesement called Lea Quatro Sams. It served to introduce four dassruno—Mdllss. Boesbetti, Lisereux, and Madame Albeit Bellon---each of whom promoted in ballet fashion (that is, not very intel ligibly) a season. They all showed themselves to be charming dans:err, and were warmly applauded; especially Mdlle. Boechetii, who promisee to be a star of great brilliancy. There was also XVondris, who was as bold and rootiessfol in his pirouettes as any male dancer that we have men.

The Wel., in an article on the contest of Paris, °attains the following carious passage : "Amongst other remains for not wishing to continue the hostilities was this :—The campaign of 1856 was to have been essentially a maritime one. England had made unheard-of preparations, which may have been appreciated in the accounts published by the English and French journals; she was about to acquire an enormous preponderance, and perhaps a dangerous one. Now, the final act of the , congress— the abolition of letters of marque, dm—proved that Europe is no more prepared to dupport maritime tyranny than the °omissivel excess of military deve lopment. It may, therefore, be semuned that Euro pean diplomacy in its mortal desire for peace displayed its fears of the maritime proportions of England. English diplomatists cannot have mistaken this If it had escaped their attention, the shouts of the Lon don press would have awakened them to the tact. Ent their shoats did not prevail, and England was aompakiel to console herself by a review for the im possibility in which she found herself to obtain en emies in a decisive campaign. We most add, for the sake of truth, that nothing in the protocols authoeisse us to attribute to the plenipotentiaries this last motive for desiring peace. It was their natural policy to conceal it."

The political prisoners is Montesarchio, alarm Prierio and others, have been suffering more of less from the extreme humidity of the place. Many of them had suffered much from attacks in their chests, their bowels, and their joints. The dampness was so great as to liquefy the salt, and to produce a green' coat on their bread, yet one and all are resolved rather to die than compromise their own characters, sad injure the reuse for which they are suffering, by accepting their liberty on unworthy conditions. These dreninstances, and a thousand others, have crested in this country a normal state of discontent of so dangerous a character, becente so well-founded, that members of the royalist party have lately repro seated the position of the country to his Majesty, but without any, the slightest, effect. It was deemed advisable, therefore, to send the Cardinal Archbishop on the same errand, but his remonstrances proved as fruitless as those of others. And so, be smeared, will all remonstrances, and never, I repeat, will any good be effected in this country except upon compulsion. BELGIUM.
