Millie. Trebelli, late of Her Majesty's Theatre,
is now fulfilling an engagement with en Italian operatic
company in the Netherlands. She prove. an attraction, and
excites an applause which could warmly be expected from
a people so proverbially phlegmatic u the Dutch. Herr

The Royal Theatre at Berlin was crammed to
the ceiling on Saturday night by • fashionable audience,
including the King and four or five priooes, who had assem-
bled to witness the company from Walluer's Theatre in
several favourite farces. The political allusions in many
of tho dialogues were suimressed, and new verses supplied
those which, bad to be omitted in the songs that were sung,
and the public repeatedly called the actors before the cur-
tain ; but decidedly the hit of the eveaing was that in
which Herr Rewire improvised in his song two lines which
may be thus rendered :
I sing quite other otrophes 'tether side the Spree ;
But in these holy balls it wouldn't do, you see.
The audience, uoderstending the allusion, looked towards •
the royal box, and laughed as if they would never stop.
