DRURY LANZ 'TAtitif

The second of Mr. Loaders banal perfonnancce wu
gives last 1 IllideniMenta consisted of Ls
Piglia del Reggimento, and the first act of La Farorita,
Medians Picebletoini appearing in both.pieses. The theatre,
as before, was crowded by • fashionable and musical seal. •
epee ; and the inlet of the performance was heightened by
its being .hpoonred with the premiere of their Royal
Higbnesess the Prince and Prineres of Wales. The
illustrious visitors come without any state, and
no notice was taken of their entrance; bat at the
end of . the first act el the opera "God save
the Queen' eras performed, the solo verses being sung
with great spirit and admirable elocution by Madame Pioco-
lomini. This was followed by repeated rounds of applause,
which the Prime and Princess graciously acknowledged. ••••
As we have said before, performances of this kind do not
all for critical remark, but we may say that the fair prima
donna acted and sing as charmingly ea ever. In the Piglia
dcl Reggimento she was supported by the sew tenor, Signor
Barash., who (as we bad anticipated in our settee of his
&but a few evenings ago) eas quite at hose in the clam.
ter of Toole, acting and singing delightfully. Is the
Favorite Madame Picoolomini was supported by °theist.

Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, Mr. B. Slaw in the chair. The
secretary, Mr. /titter, read a report of the operations of
the society during the past year, which on the whole bad
been very successful in carrying ont its f objects. Them
were 2,120 wholesale and retail establishmente now actin
on the principles of the association in Loudon, and every
day was aiding to their number. The report then enume-
rated the names of numerous large houses in the drapery
trade who had come to the resolution of closing at eight
o'clock during the summer mooths, instead of, as heretofore,
at nine, and entered into statistiod details to show the
progress of the principles of early closing. Owing
to the large expenditure and the comparative .
nets of the income, the society had, some few years sioce, in-
curred heavy liabilities, and a special fund had been esteb.
!Jibed, for the purpose of clearing those liabilities. This,
combined with • retrenchment in the expenses of the so-
ciety, had nearly effected its object, and the liabilities were
reduced at the present time to 1701. ft had been thought
desirable to close the financial year on the 31st of March for
the future ; and the telanotebeet, soon to be submitted,
would icontain an account for fifteen months. The total
income frociaJannesy 1882 to March 1863 had been 1,413/.

der of the eventag wadi occupied with discussing and adopt-
ing the revised code of rules, and the proceedinp closed
