We do not believe there are three in the whole corps ; and were ,the pure accents of Italy gaited at these entertainments, it would be,a great disappointMent to the audience to hear it mangled through all the horrible corruption of the broad Russian, the snuffling French, the slow German, the harsh English, thethick Jewish, .the guturul Becks, untrthe sibillatiog.dialects,of the least es teemed States of the !lonian PeninSula., Upon the whole of this season we may remark, that the, Opera has not been of the highest order, nor has there been either a considerable variety, any novelty, or very excellent selection in the pieces ,got up. Of the Ballet, however, the reverse may, truly be pronounced. It has been sustained by full and admirable corps ; th e productions pave done the utmost credit to the Master, and the execotioo to the Artists engaged. The consequence has been that John Bull , whose eyes are better ,than his cars, has l)een much gratified. But we rather think that (he season cannot have been very•pro ductive to the Proprietor It is true the boxes hare been pretty well let, but the expences of the concern are-extraordin ar ily h eavy , and for profit much must depend on the money taken at the door, which we do not imagine has been adequate to the reliance placed upon these receipts. HAYMARKET TnEvrai:---The new Farce, !call ed, " My Landlady's Gown," was produced at this Theatre on Saturday night. It is from the pen of Mr. OtnTow, tile author of the Skep Walker, Bfe. We cannot convey any clear idea of the intricate plot without devoting more of our spice to:it than we ran at present. spare. The title of My,Landludy's Gown is taken front the circurn• . stance of Jack Jocund, a dashing young man of fa shion (J oN es) , in escaping from the hands ofbailitfs, making free with his landlady's wardrobe, and in one ,of her gowns retreating to the house of Sir Perce. val Paradox, with whose nephew lie is particularly intimate. On his, arrival there, he is accommo 'dated by his friend Percecal with a stoat, and is induced by him, to enter into a plot to frustrati match projected in ( Young Perceval's) father's will, with a Miss Higginbottom, whom be (Perce vat) is either to marry, or forfeit half his forttme. he undertakes, and is assisted' by Dermot ()Ten (TOKELv) an Hibernian servant to Sir Per cevul, who agrees to assume the character of his master during his absence. Young Percent's ob jection to his father's wishes arises from en attactirnent to another lady, a Mademoiseile Geniis (Miss TaYLoa), to whom he had reit demi: some assistance at. Paris. There is also wait her love affair between Dermot and Biddy, Sir Perceval's maid, 'against whieb Sir Perceval had set his face, and had nritten to the fair one's fat her, Timothy Thimble, in Thread. needle-street (RUSSELL), with the view of _preventing the match. The bustle, of the piece opens by the entrance of Dermot, attired in one of his master's best suits, attended by JaCk Jo cund, who assumes the character of his nephew. The arrival of Timothy Thimble, Biddy's father, soon gives, the sni-disant Sir Perccval an np pot...unity of pushing the humble interesfa of Dermot, whom he recommends in appropriate terms as a fit husband for his daughter....' This i 3 followed by the arrival of Monsieur Geniis and his daughter, who came reomminded to the hospitality of Sir Percival, in consequence of their having lost their fortune by a fire in a house oe.; copied by them in Cavendish-square ; the whole of their valuables being contained in a casket . which was thrownircim the window on that oeca-: sion, and which had not been recovered. Dermal, iu his new charaCter, does not. fait to do ins lice to the sitaation in which he is 'placed, &old gives his visitors a most hearty weiconw: Young Perceval shortly afterwards appears, and recognizes the object of his adoration m Madentoi selle Geniis, to whom he restores the casket con taining her father's fortune, which he Ilse! himself luckily found on the night of tits fire, and being unable to dis cover t h e r i g h t owner, had preserved. Airs. iligginbonont, the motitcr of Percevul's in , tended, next appears', not to,cloitn the stipulations of the will, hot to announce that her daughter had eloped with an adveaturer, , whons she had employ ed an attorney to arrest for a debt tine by bim to a tradesman with whom site was acquainted. .Jack' Jocund proves to be this 'adventurer; anti he Contrives to turn the tables upon his mother ' hi-law, by having her arrested in his stead, having previously arranged that she should eltatto her tra%elling dress, which hail been soiled by the overtirruing of her carriage, for his " Landlady's Gown," of which the bailitf's.hd a full descrip tion.

Up on the whole, tite author made the best n of his materials, and although we cannot say okocii favour of the classicality of his wit, he ,yet suc ceed it, drawing forth the general approbation of the (louse, and the 'arce was given cot for repe tition amidst loud applause. t•NGt.rgrt nuennft WAS tbbstituretl for Love!' in a Pittag ti 011Satortiiiy evert.
