MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, OOVENT•OARDEN.

This theatre closed on Saturday night, and so
ends the opera reason. Dinorah was psrfortned, foe
the sixth time. The house was overflowing : not
only was every seat occupied, but many stalls were
improvised by placing chairs wherever there was
room for them, and by taking in a row from the pit,
a division of the house already reduced almost to
nothing, and destined, it would seem, to disappear
altogether. Nothing could exoeed the brilliancy of
the evening. The performers were at home in their
part, the orchestra and chorus were perfect ; and
Meyerbeer's music, so original and full of new
effects, sounded delightfully smooth and mel-
low. The °fetes. LiNurah is heard, the more
this will be the case. It has been the case with all
Meyerbeer's previous operas. The obscurity of his
music is only seeming, and arises from the difficulty
which the performers have to encounter from such
novelty of form. When this difficulty is got over,
everything becomes clear and simple—the language
of nature and feeling. Meyerbeer resembles Gluck

more than any other oompiser. Cluck's great object
was the attainment of dramatic force and truth ; and
the partisans of the Italian school accused him of mai-
firing to this object the beauties of melody. Roos-
*eau, however, the great advocate of the Italian
school, thought differently. " For my part," he
said, speaking of Cluck, "I find that his melody
tames from every poee." The same may be said
of Meyerbeer.
After the opera "God save the Queen" was sung
as usual. Madame Miolan gave the first verse, of
course with the pronunciation of one who probably
had never uttered three words of English before, but
with most brilliant execution ; and the curtain fell
for the season amidst general applause.

MR. RANEY AT PRE ALHAMBRA.

Mr. Ham gave another exhibitiou of his powers
se • bare•-tainer on Saturday. She last time it was evideat
to them who were present th►t the exhibition was s oompars•
dee failure. The 'object wow then earwig savage cart hares,
of the Suflolk Punch breed, who did not show the pluck and '
pireeverasco required to make a good show. He succumbed
almost h■medLutely ; though it was evident that his vicious
rapeaellies were by as mesas subdued. Oa Saturday, how-
ever, tb• semi gin was et the most lively bed. The horse
was s Waned Mask Oslioiray—an *Kate horse, with a
glenlid bead and menr. It was samiusoid that his owners
could mats wain of len ; and when be appeared in the
ann., It was a difficult task even for Mr. Rarey
to approach or to touch him. It ma quite clear that until
Saturday as hone hod saver been compelled to acknotergigr
the power of man. No one bad ever mounted him; in fact,
be wee quite ustused. After quieting the bores a little Mr.
Berry laid his amp upon hie fetlock and tied up one of his
leg.. Ho Ilse attached the other strap to his other front hi!,
passed it rider the girth, and began to attempt to throw
Ws. latesetly almost be relight up It, off fore leg, and the
• been we. hit only with his two bind legs fen. But
he wan full of courage and obstinacy. It did
not seen tone that ►i. temper wan bed, bat he gloried in the
power ot liberty. He had never been subdued, and be could
lot mdeetamd the means whiiii ware being applied tocontrol
Ma. ler dvs•end-twenty minute be struggled with him
imaggenr. He stood up on his hind legs, Woggle/ with
all hie might to get his ere legs free. Again he fell end
burled his Wad in the straw ; and it was clear Irma the Luther
of sweat upon his mat and the load mein that his
strength was beginning to be exhausted. But still
he scorned to yield, and repeated the MUM des-
perate efforts again and agate, until at lest he sank down
into the straw. Before many minute', however, he rose, sad
a seccad Angle began. For sona time the pereeneenos of
the horse prevailed, but at length ho sank exhausted, and
doer a abort time yielded implicit obedience to his subduer.
When he din entered the arena, Mr. Huey could not even
toad him. Mier ►e was subdued Mr. Rare; at upon hie
buck able he was down, handled his fore end hind legs, sad
Wally, is the astonishment of the audience, mounted
W. It was quite clear that the horse, hitherto
unmatched, had convinced hinuelf that he bed met hie
reporko. The Annular thing was that w►en the horn rose

it seine to as. conclusively poem that the nomad *sodas

would Asa tbo sea who inflicted the cranky. At thi NM
time It deserves to be remarked that no anima., probably,

temper of extreme generosity would submit to this--aad it is
pioneer to sue it even is a horse.
Besides the exhibition of this black °slipway, which was
called "s lively savage," but really wen a shy and
touchy, bemuse bigl•bred and ligb-couraged animal, Mr
Reny exhibited Cruiser me another horn, The latter was
