The Ora of Griselda was selected ' opening of the Theatre. The Music is by Pi and deservedly holds a very high rank for and harmony. Between the first and second the Opera, a new Divertissement, entitled Le de SanchoPanaa, composed by the new Ballet-Maker, Monsieur FAVIER, was prodaced. Sancho Patna, on his departure from his native • is honoured with afete. His Commander, Don appears on the stage in complete armour—and, before this redoubtable pair, several excellent dances are exe cuted. Sancho himself also gave us " a taste of his quality"—and proved that he possessed, in no common degree, the talents necessary to constitute a good co mic dancer. The Divertissement is a pleasing trifle. After the'Opera, a new Ballet, entitled .fctius et Adele, which is also the production of Monsieur FAVIER, was performed. On this occasion, Made moiselles COPIRE and Leasurrow, and Monsieur, HULL/Y and TOL:SAINI, made their first appear ance is this country. Monsieur Litman is a graceful dancer—decidedly the best of the groupe of *bawds. Mademoiselle COPERE is a powerful and vigorous, rather than a neat and elegant arts e. As a spe tacle, the Ballet is worthy ofgreat praise. Theacenery is magn:ficent—the processions are well arranged— and the combats are introduced jadiFigstaly, and are skilfully managed. The Pyrrhic Dance was accu rately performed. The story on which the Ballet is founded is excellently suited to the production of dramatic effect, and Monsieur FAVISR has treated it with much judgment. The house was fully and fashionab:y attended ; among the visitors were— The Sp.ulisa Ambassador, the Bavarian DThlister, thebotes ler Marchioness of Lanodown, the Duke and Duchess of Leeds, Mr. and Mrs. G.

The particulars of the conflagration, which took , place at Newington; a few days since, have not yet been accurately made known. The fire extended to six houses, which, toggther with the furniture they contained, were almost totally consumed, doing also considerable damage to some others.

Corer 444 is ear ....4 plaintiff , had bestowed in the concerns of Mr. Waters, dal department of the Opera-house last maw" and for other services, which, though nqt falli der that class, had been rendered by the plaia ' dathe defendant. Mr. Waters, by suffering ju by default, had admitted an engagement of a pied wary nature with the plaintiff, and that something was due to him ; but as he had never offered to pay any sum of money, or, till the present action was brought, admitted that the plaintiff had any clair's upon him, Mr. Ayrton was thrown under the die. culty of having to make out the amount of his title to remuneration. It was a difficulty he should over come, and be had no doubt of receiving a compen sation commensurate with the advantages Mr. Wa ters had derived from his assistance. It had been understood, in point of honour, that whatever had' been the sttj ess of the-Opera. under the direction or the plaintiff last season, his services were to have been liberally rewarded. 'Had it failed he would 'still have been entitled to have been remunerated ;I but it would be proved, that the Italian Opera had' last season been attended with the greatest success ;,' that it had been more prosperous than it had been for • y years, and.that this was attributable to the a!-I •- • nce of the plaintiff. If Mr. Waters, forgetting' the debt of gratitude, had chosen to say to the plain tiff, ".you stated the prirsinnon which you would cask. tto receive, and there it is for you," this actieno world never have been brought; but Mr. Waterso • d denied his liability, exceptloyallowingjudgrnene by default, and now he hopedto reduce the :um nei the lowest ccursibstation. •The contest between binsi and his learned friend this day; would be what the services of the plaintiff were words, what advantage the defendant had derived, and what ha . t to pay for these services. Me would here otitserve that the Italian Oren had for many years been an-' roductive. • To those who frequented the Itahell I.,)pera, it was Well known that - -en former occasions. it was sufficient if the Manages exhibited one singer;si male or female, in a season, whose attractions were 'sufficient to draw the attention of the audience ; but' for ' adapt the music of such a man as Mozart, or, to use the phrase of Milton.—" To marry music to irunor tal verse"-was not a director who was to be met with every day. Here was a Signor who desired to have such a song, and a Signora who preferred such an air. It required a man of profound knowledge of the world to soothe the irritations of the one or flatter the other, in order to induce them to -make a sacrifice of their vanity. It required such a man as Mr. Ayrton, a man of suavity of manners, of_ great address, of sound judgment , and refined tate. An the parts were all cast, he had to attend rehearsals, and see that the Opera vras performed in such a way as would:best please the public. The plaintiff not only did that, hut took the Ito -forte for die pur pose of playing every air. was another thing; it often happened that something occurred at a Thea tre which oCcasioned an audience to be disappointed, - ginger took Cold, or refused to act.

Mr. Waters particularly, was influenced by a desire to produce that effect. It so happened that the at tention of Mr. Waters was directed to Mr. Ayrton, by the celebrity the latter had acquired as a Manager of the Philharmonic Concerts. Mr. Waters thought l I no one better qualified to undertake the musical de partment of the Opera than one who had conducted 1 those concerts, which were attended with a greater' degree of.fame than any concerts had ever been boa.' fore. In former times if you heard one fine piece of , music in a concert, you was obliged to listen to many Idyll and tiresome compositions; but the Philharmo- is laic Concerts proceeded upon the principle of exclud- i lug every thing that was not excellent ; and with such success had they been attended , that the nun* , ber of subscribers was only limited by the size of mom in which they were performed. Thus was 1 Mr. Ayrton introduced to Mr. Watern. lie was a 1 Gentleman, a scholar, acquainted with foreign lan guages, understood not only what belonged to the eof music, but to the business of the worjd. 1 Mr. Waters applied to him generally for his assistance.
