HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
"La Tempksta," for some time past the great ob-
ject of interest and expectation in our moiled world,
was produced on Saturday night. Nothing could be
more triumphant than its success. The theatre was
crowded in every part, the assemblage including not
only the Elite of the fashionable circler, but great num-
bers of persons most distinguished in literature and
art, curione, of course, to see how the most popular
and successful foreign dramatist, and how one of the
most celebrated composers of the day, have treated
the materials furnished to them by Shakspeare.
"La Tempera "is to be regarded, not as a version
of the English play, but as a modern opera, founded
on the subject of that play. Changes in the story, or
the introduction of new incidents, are not to be called
" liberties " taken with Shakepeare's text; M. Scribe
having been in no degree bound by it, but at liberty
to use u much ore, little of it is be thoughteproper,
provided that what he has invented is in good keeping
with what he has borrowed. Shakepeare has enabled
M. Scribe to produce a more charming opera than his
unaided talents (great as they are) could have con-
ceived ; but, in regard to its construction, it must be
judged as if "The Tempest" had never existed.
The opera im in three act., preceded by a prologue,
or introductory scene, re resenting the shipwreck
which casts the Bing of Naples and his company on
Prospero. desert island. At the close of a short
orchestral prelude, of a solemn and melancholy
cast, the curtain rose and disclosed a scene
which produced a general buret of applause.
In the midst of darkness visible, the ship
was wen, her stern towards the audience and
her whole length extending backwards with her lan-
tern gleaming against the black sky. The King and
the Duke of Milan were asleep under an awning on
the quarter-deck, while a chorus of invisible spirits
poured into their dreaming ears thoughts of their
crimes and their punishment. Arid meanwhile
lighted en the rigging, glided to the deck, and called
his attendant spints to 'said in raising the storm.
While ttey flitted about in all directions, the mounds
of the orchestra began to paint the howling of the
blast and the roar of thunder, while the sky blazed
with lightning. The sleepers started up and the deck
was covered with a crowd of sailors and people in I
wild terror and confusion. The King and his
son embraced, and the whole company fall-
ing on their knees, burst into a prayer, one
of the most solemn and pathetic pieces of religious
music we have ever listened to. Suddenly a crash
was heard, immense billows rose around the ship,
while Arid and his companions were seen flying
sway in the distance. The effect of this scenic pic-
ture, aided by Halevy's imaginative music, was quite
magical, and the enchantment was heightened by the
airy form of Carlotta Grisi skimming through the
confusion. The curtain fell amid loud and prolonged
applause.
Like all music of a high chits, the opera re-
quires to be repeatedly heard before it can be fully
jetty. d. Bat we have no hesitation in thinking that
"Ls Tempests" will be regarded as the chef dceurre of
its celebrated author. It is the work of a poet es well
as a musician. Like all Halevy's music, it is pro-
found in thought and masterly in construction, while
it is bold, free, imaginative, and dramatic, with a
great deal of graceful and expre wive melody, set off
by the most varied and elegant instrumentation. The
beauties of melody are profusely scattered through
the concerted pieces, the regular and formal airs, as
in the best modern operas, being few in number. We
think the airs in Miranda a part (performed by
Madame Sontag), too florid and ornate for the sim-
plicity of the character; but the composer doubtless
had in view the peculiar style which the accomplished
iinger has carried to such unrivalled perfection.
No praise can be too strong for the manner in
which the opera hes been prepared and brought
upon the rage. The choruses were admirably
sung, the concerted music went with the utmost
precision and clearness, and the orchestra (which
was conducted by Balfe), in respect to power in the
descriptive music, and dricacy of accompaniment,
lett nothing to be desired. The beauty and splen-
dour of the spectacle could not be surpassed.
The audience acknowledged most warmly their ob-
ligation to every party concerned in this noble enter-
tainment. The principal performers were first
called ter, and then, singly and successively, M.
Halery, M. Scribe, Mr. Balte, and Mr. Lunde', by
all of whom the compliment was duly acknowledged.

DRAMA.
NEW STRAND THEATRE.

RETIREMENT OF MRS. GLUIER FROM THE STAGE.
On Saturday night this actress retired from the wage. Mrs.
Glover's London career as a first-rate actress was modidera•
bly beyond the years which Mn. Siddons, John Kemble,
Bannister, Young, Charles Kemble, or Dowton spent in the
service of the public. Sheridan's comedy of " The Rivals "
was selected for Mrs. Glover's find performance, and when
Sir Anthony Absolute entered with Mrs. Malaprop in the
woad scone of the first act, the house rose with seclamatiou
to cheer the lady in the final effort of her theatrical life. She
wee greatly affe.cted by her reception, and seemed to feel the
parting with her friend,. Mrs. Glover, on the termination
of the comedy, delivered the following brief address :
" Ladies and Oontlemen,—l appear before you for the last
time as an actress, alter a service of fi:ty.three years before
the public in London; and although it is possible I may
on one more occasion you in my profusion, this
is the termination of my actual theatrical career. I want
words to expresso the feelings of gratitude which actuate
my bosom for favours received through so long a period
of professional service. To my rzcellect and kind friend
Mr. Faun I am indebted ter the opportunity of meeting
you in his charming little theatre to fulol my last engage-
ment, and to his admirable troupe, for their able assist-
ince on every occasion where their zeal and talent have
been required. I beg leave to offer them and Mr. Farren
my most grateful thanks and best wishes. Be please d,
ladies and gentlemen, to receive from me once mete my
most sincere acknowledgments for put favours, and to bid
you a respectful farewell." Load cheers followed the de-
livery of the address, and Mrs. Glover then retired with Mr.
Farren.

DISPUTED JURISDICTION BETWEEN A MAGISTRATE
AND A CORONZR.—A curious difficulty arose in Man-
chester lest week as to the power of a coroner to require a
prisoner to be brought before him who has teen pr. viously
tornados -I for trial by a magistrate. On Saturday afternoon
a man named Thomas Rogers, whilst driving a brewer'.
cut very carelessly down Port-street, on the right hand
aide, ran one of the while over a child about two yerrs
old, the son of John Nixon, of 12, Little Pitt.
street, Portstreet, es it was sitting on the edge of the
foot pavement. The man, who was much into:lasted, was
repeatedly cautioned by the bystanders, and could have
avoided the child if he had taken proper meane, but he
replied only by abusive language. He had three other
drunken men in the cart with him. The child was so
ly injured, that on being taken to the infirmary it died
immediately. Itsgrre was brought up at the Borough court
en Monday, and committed to the assizes on a charge of
manslaughter. On the same day Mr. Herford held an in-
quest on the body of the child, and requested the prisoner to
be brought before him. Mr. Maude, the stipendiary magis-
trate, said he thought his had no power to order
a man who had been committed for trial, to he brought be-
fore the coroner. Mr Herford, however, adjourned the in-
quest till the following day, and threatened to indict a
penalty of 504 upon the officer of the corporation, who had
charge of all the pri.oners, if Rogers was not brought before
him at the adjourned Inquest. On Tuesday, however, Mr.
Herford infermed the jury that, as the prisoner wee still not
forthcoming, he should take no further st pain the matter.

some time sines from his wife, by some means (which have
MovasilUmßll'd John Reynolds, who had separated
not yet been explained), met her at North Dashes, between
7 and 8 o'clock on Thursday evening. They conversed to-
gether for a few minutes, when they both sat down near the
North Mill. Whilst there the man began to abuse hie wife,
sad he eventually pulled a loeg clasp knife out of his pocket
and tried to cut her throat. The woman resisted, but the
wretch inflicted one wound in the neck, and several over the
urns and hands of the poor creature, who at lest succeeded
in runnititt away. She took shelter from her husband's
, brutality in a confectioner's shop, where a surgeon attended
' and dressed her wounds. The husband, la the meentime, stuck
the knife he intended to murder his wire with into his shin,
the point of which extended to his throat, and then jumped
into the sea. The body was soon picked up, bet life was
extinct. On Friday night a coroner'. inquest wee held on
the body of the deceased at the workhouse, Norwich, when
' it MN out in evidence that the women had her child, a little
boy about a year old with her, and bad the maa succeeded in
killing his wile. he would, dosibtime, have murdered the
eliild as well. The jury having heard wend witnesses, re-
turned a verdict of " Feb de se," and the body was forth-
with bided by lonbilibt.
