The Grand Serious Opera of As-y.4de a Serse, was

The Duchess of B enroa co looked extremely well;
her Grace wore a wh:te satin pelisse, trimmed with
swansdown ; head-dress to match. Turbans were
very much worn. From the immense crowd, it
was pail one o'clock when the house was cleared of
company ; many of the Nobility were obliged to re-
main in their carriages a quarter of an hour, before
they could draw off, and others obliged to walk to
the top of the Haymarket.

DRURY-LANE.

A new Banal Opera, entitled Btoten Gold, was
produced at this theatre, on Saturday night. It
was wholly destitute of every essential quality.
There WAS neither incident to surprise, plot to ex-
cite interest, nur melody to charm the ear. The
author, Mr. Ucsots. see. appears to have ex-
pected that Lord N rixsow's name, which is fre-
quently introduced, was sufficient to ensure 'access.
Mrs. MOUNTAIN looked very well, and was in
fine voice, hut all her powers, aided by th sr of
Mrs. Pre arid, could produce no s rt-ft. A Naval
Officer and his Mistress break gold at parting, as a
pledge of their constancy, and, in his absence, ctfri-
volous coxcomb. in vain attempts to win the Lady's
I affections. This comprcliends the whole story.—
The disapprobation increased with the progress of
the Piece, until the conclusion, when it bled a hur-
ricane from every part of the House. Mr. ISJIK.
NIST Eft, after come hesitation, came forward, and
announced that the Piece was withdrawn. The
Louse overflowed with an elegant company.
