news and heaviness to same of :he finest woes- With mar-
vellous had taste, moreover, a irrary divertiswinent
of
preposterous length was thrust into the second set,
as if for the purpose of trying the patience of the
audience, who sat in frozen silence till towards its villein-
sion, when hisses began to be audible A minute more end
there would have been a storm of disapprobation. When
the opera is repeated we h •pe the miring' merit will take
the hint. Grist was admirable in Leonora, the in' cresting
heroine. Iler acting of the part show, d the versatility it
her pintos. It was full of svreetio a., simplicity, arid
pathos. We have witnessed trw thi..cs more all, ring ham
the elosiig scene, in which Le”norit dies or grief in her
love.'s Anne. Sur did we ever hear her sing with more
heauty of voice, finer 'attention, or orate, t loreodon.
Maras singing, tai, was all that caiilil he de-
alt, ; but his acting fell far short of Grist's. In
the great scene in which Farifinattei, in a transport
of indignation at the deception and indignity put upon
him, throws at the King's fret his di corai ion sad his ,word,
Mario did not reach the height of passion demanded by the
se 'ration, and produced little effect In the final scene

was more successful. Signor eurratli-Setti was, both r
matteally and musically, a very inadequate representative of
King Alphotiso. The part ought to have been performed
by Tainhurint. K inns was dignified and impressive in the
ehrracter of the aged priest. This opera contains the hest

sensible ofitsgreat merit The heautit sot do instrunientatool,
often worthy of the greatest German mast. r., the artistic
ingenuity of the concerted 'slices, and the grand or ,eves of
harmony in the chorusew, were fully developed by this es•
oillent performance ; and the opera, were the taults wit have
pointed out removid, would be une of the most attractive
-.tsars which this theatre has produced.
