corENT-cAR DEN THILITRB. Th e Opera of Love in a Village was last night .201 at this Theatre. The house, at a very 1 , h o er, boasted a 110111M01111 audience, w hose • demeanour evinced a desire to enjoy the ightfal musical bsoquet which bad been pre. We hailed this regularity, this abstinetki noise and riot, as the harbinger of permanent lhty ; and we feel truly sorry that the c0n .1,,0 of the evening bore no resemblance to pmnencement. It VIUI4 like the lucid jitter of a maniac, whose insanity returns with tea -1 fore. Prior to the rising of the curtain, all peace—one or two persons in the First ley called fur " Cid save the King," according to custom, was immediately per , audience standing and uneovered. mt:is charming music was heard with much as none of the Performers ante prone. attempted to accompany it.

The 0. P. and Con•freet dance was given at intervals, iu a very animated style, mod commanded geueral attention. Amongst the novel performances which the Pi tites'introd uced this evening, the otigliing of a horse, and the crowing of a cock, were eXtreuxely well imitated. A few fights also took pl.►ee in the Pit. which varied the dull uniformity °Celle scene, and may be cousidered as epiwsles judiciously in terworeu with the body of the work.
