The coat will, of course, be made double-breasted, and in the same stile of fashion as the coloured coats, and with covered buttons; and, though black kerseymere waistcoats and breeches too's' be considered genteel, black silk Florentine will be more gentlemanly and fashionable. Poo MORNING Dans* we observe many browns or mixtures, and the most fashionable are single breasted, with collars of the same cloth, and white plaited buttons; plain buff ker. sevrnere or stripe toilinet waistcoats still take the lead in preference to scarlet; drab colour ribbed kerseymere breeches, with gilt butts drab colour ker-eymere Dark olive covered buttL and skirts lined addition of !

Iler affected simplicity on th: first interview with Nardone excited much mirth, and though ' the air of 66 Diaconate simplieette " did not afford an opporta ,l nits of displaving great powers, yet it was heard with general , applause; and we were much pleased with the playful manner in which she received the encore—preserving all the sporticeness of the character, with the respectful good humour of the actress. The Carolina, in the second Act, " Non ei fidate" WAS given with a force aad pathos unequalled; but we cannot say so much fur the others. as there was a samincis and insipidity in them that precluded all interest or admiration.--With respect to the other performers, if they cannot act, yet still they might dress well. Rovedints's singing, in general, and his acting, in some parts, was above mediocrity, but the interest of the scene is completely destroyed by his costume, which, though it might do fur the Clown in a pastoral Ballet, is :t uafft for the lover of the gay Violante ; surely, Mr. Lestini might recollect thtsdress of a young Italian country gentleman. Giovanni, in Pagnotha, did all that his part would allow him to do ! but the humour of the Italian populak is so different to that of John Bull, that it can he understood only by st small proportion of the audience, and if well done must appear to many as a caricature.
