COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

The Beggar's Ope►a was p►esented last night.
The characters as before, when Miss MALLANDI
first assumed the part of Nacheath. She was in
fine voice, and was much admired foe her songs.
especially, " When the heart of a NMI." She was
marred is " Note happy could 1 be with either,"
and sung it both times in a very playful style.—
Miss STat►HUS gave the music of Polly with her
usual luxuriance of tone and expression. She was
encored iu " Cease your firming," and in each of
the songs called down the loudest plaudits. Her
singing in " When my hero in Court appears," is a
very rich example of mingled science and good ma-
ture! taste. EMERY and BLANCHARD put uff the evil
humours of Lockit and Peaeksias felicitously. MTS.
LISTON was very pleasant in Lary, and gave the
music in her customary prettiness and simplicity
of style. The house was over-running in every
part.
