ITALIAN OPERAS.7AT THE THEATRE

ROYAI

which has given several performances, and, has still
another to give in, the Theatre-Royal, Williamson-

square, appears to increase rather than to diMinish by a
repetition of their appearances. On each succeeding
evening the theatre has been filled by fashionable -and
delighted audiences, who have expressed their admira-
tion of the highly artistic_and eminently pleasing man,
ner in which the different pieces have been put upon
the stage, :not less than with the delightful style' in
which the music has bee. executed. The opera selected
for presentation last night was the telling and favonrite
one, " 11 Trevatore," and the folloWing was the power-
ful and admirably sustained cast :—Marrico, ' Signor
Giuglini ; Il Conte di Luna, Signor Badiali ; :Fernando,
Signor Vialetti ; _Ruiz, Signor Mercuriali ; Ines, Mad'lle
Dell'anese ; Aaucena, Madame Borchardt ; and Leonora,
Mad'lle Titiens. .

The house was crowded in every quarter by a
very brilliant assembly of ladies and gentlemen,
who evidently enjoyed the rich musical and dra-
matic treat which was placed before them. It is but
justice to the different artistes to say that each and all
of them did their best, and successfully, to render the
general effect perfect... As might' have been expected,
the Titiens was the chief attraction—the true prima
donna. • Her singing and acting were alike characterised
by good taste and fine dramatic effect. Her rich, . clear,
and powerful voice enabled her' to do full juitice to the
expressive character of the music, .and in her rendering
of it she combined real tenderness with great power, and
presented such an embodiment of feeling and dignity as
completely captivated the audience, who now, by their
breathless silence, now by their enthusiastic outbursts
of applause, testified in an unmistakeable manner the
pleasing thraldom in which she held them. Giuglini, as
ifanrico, sung magnificently, and drew down repeated
thunders of applzuse. His acting also was excellent.
The Miserere duet and chorus between him. and Wile.
Titiens was iinpressive and touching in the highest
degree. Madame Borchardt also sang delightfully,
and was repeatedly and deservedly applauded.
In "II balm," Signor Badiali, who sustained the
character of I? Conte di Luna, acquitted himself in
admiratde and truly artistic style. As already said, the
other artistes appeared to great advantage, and it would
be difficult indeed to witness a better performance of
"Il Trovatore" than that of last night. The orchestra
ii well drilled, and is obviously under fine command,
each instrument taking up As part with an, alacrity and
certainty which showed a fine combination of high talent
and well-applied discipline. The. manner in which the
choruses were 'executed also deserves much commenda-
tion. To-morrow evening the Opera of " Lucrezia
Borgia" will be performed, this being the closing per-
formance of the present engagement.

COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,

Her Majesty and the Royal Family are pursuing their
usual Highland habits,. now that the Court is settled
down at Balmoral. On Saturday his Royal highness
the Prince. Consort, accompanied by . Prince Arthur,
went out deer-shooting.
Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston are leaving
London this week for Broadlands, near Romsev, Hants.
• His Excellency the Sardinian Minister has left Loll-
don, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury,
at St. Giles's, Dorset. . -•
The Court Journal says, It is understood that the
Cabinet Council so unexpectedly held on Monday, and
to which ministers were summonectbyelectrie telegraph-
from the most distant. parts of - the, country, Was held to.
give the sanction.-of, the governthent to. a, determination
which had been arrived at .concerning a portion, at any
rate,- of the Italian pestion, by the Premier and the Fo;-
reign Secretary. It is known that Central Italy, or Upper
Italy, or Lombardy; or tlie.quondam duchies, have had an
envoy in this, country for some days—busy diplomatising
of course—and that some tangible arrangement has at
length been come to. Leal Palmerston left town on
Sunday, and. had a long conference with Lord John
Russell, at Pembroke Lodge, on the subject, when the
matter was settled in the form that it,was submitted to
,the assembled cabinet on.the following day Of course
at present there is great secrecy ; but that the cabinet
accepted and adopted the resolution of the two statesmen
-there is no doubt. The ministers returned as suddenly
to the country after the council as they had arrived in
town-hastily to attend it.

The Empress Dowager of Russia will arrive at Nice
in the beginning of October from Interlaken, where she
is at present. •

LONDON SCOTTISH VOLUNTEER RIILPi—CIII Satur-
day afternoon, 'a numerous meeting of Scotch gentlenien
residing in London, 'convened by the 'committee of the
bLoeanrddo-nro6StretopttrishiheVeslcitontrisehr
cßoitlrpeos,raWtioasn; hcerlad in the
ri.e-coart;
Fleet-street, for the pUrpose of explaining the,
nature of the • obligations • the members took upon
themselves upon joining, and to enrol members. Lord
Each° occupied the chair, and said lie bad asked
them to meet because he had been inforined that
there were many young men in London who were very
anxious to join them; but, with the characteristic caution
of Scotchmen, they did not like to lend themselves to
anything until they thoroughly understood it. The two
hon. secretaries, Mr. Bain and Mr. Mackenzie, were
present, and would give every information that could be
desired. The late government commenced the ground-
work of this movement by sanctioning the formation of
rifle corps, and the present government followed it up
by giving still
.greater encouragement, and giving 25
per cent. of their fire-arms. They had already received
twenty-five Enfield rifles from the government, and
.
permission to use the court-yard of Burlington Ilouse
for drill. Mr. Lancaster had offered them the use of his
shooting ground, but that. was between liensal-greenand
Wormwood Scrubs, and there was no way of reaching
it.but by omnibus. If they could not get a more-con-
venient spot, they would accept it ; but they were in
negotiation with the directors of the Crystal Palace for
the use of a piece of ground at Sydenham, 300 yards
long, and admirably adapted to their purpose. He had
also examined- the rifles at all the gunmakers', and the
best he found were at Mr. Westley Richards', and Mr.
, Prince, of Bond-street. The latter was a short breech-
' loading rifle of great power, and capable of being loaded
I and fired'eight titres in less than a minute. He then
L described the dress he recommended, which was one of
great ease and comfort.to the wearer. Names were then
sent in as members, and the meeting separated.
