11014111rniaineed on Saturday bight very
auspiciously. The entertainments were, Le None
di Filen, and a tear ballet by AWATOLZ, the new
Billet Master. The opera was cast in very effi-
cient strength. The only new appearance was that
of Signora CARADORI, her first performance on any
stage. She performed the part of Chensbino, and
ingratiated herself with the audience to a very ex-
traordinary degree of success. Her voice is yet of
limited volume; but she is well grounded in the
art—sings expressively, and with great felicity of
execution—and hes, besides, • fine intuitive taste in
her embellishments. Her figure is light, and her
general appearance romantic; she has a fine cast
of features, whicb are full of intelligence and ani-
mation ; her manner is graceful and confirmed,
with • reserve of natural elegance. which greatly
augments the interest of her performance. She
awakened intense admiration by her execution
of the closing strain of her first song, " Nos so
pin coca son." She was rapturously encored in it,
and also in " Voi the tapas," which she sang con-
trary to the recent custom of referring this song to
the part of Susanna. Her ingenuity in varying
the expression in two compositions so strictly simi-
lar as to subject, was her crowning claim to the ad-
miration of the house. She sang a verse of " God
save the King" after the opera, iu a very impres-
sive style. Madame RONAL Ds Baran was the
Counters. Her sweet and plaintive style of singing,
with her lively and graceful deportment, success-
fully pourtray • happy being distressed for a while
in the most precious of its affections, the langour
of fervid conjugal love passing under a fleet-
ing *Wow of doubt. It was this impassioned
effect which she gave to " Porgi, amor."
MO she finished as if the soul would really
breathe out in the closing strain—" U mi
Mkt iliac.. stork 1" Madame CAMPORESE
need SYMMS • with unqualified excellence.
There is no part, except that in Tilo, in which
she is seen to so much advantage. The duet
between her and the Countess was rapturously
encored, and the expression, together with the
graces, were charmingly varied ou the repetition.
4usonna's duet with the Count oleo (" Caudell
psyche firma") was loudly encored, as well for the
perfection of style in singing it, as the general favour-
itism into which the composition itself has passed.
Atisaociarti performed the Count with his wonted
grace and manliness of passion. ANGRISANI sus-
tained Figaro, and being in good voice, he shook the
thunders of the war in the ears of Cherubim°,
while singing " Non pia mind." with effect
sufficient (the orchestra aiding and abetting) to de.
prive • stouter heart than that of the sportive page
of its enthusiasm. The subordinate parts were sow.
tained with proportionate ability. The third scene
of the second act was admirably sung throughout.
The chorus is in great strength, and performed the
little dist devolves to them in this opera very effec-
tively.. The piece went off with consummate success.
The ballet is entitled Pandore. ft consists of
one act, which contains a great variety of ancient
mythological incident, heightened by allegorical
invention. Prometheus having made some men,
and being, at the instigation of his brother,
anniono•winfese ,stinstity mats them, is conducted
by Jihrteres i,it i the -Will of the assembled Gods,
and steals the eternal fire from the altar. Jepiter,
enraged, determines on his punishment. Vulcan has

formed a female figure, PaNdore ; Jupiter imparts
life to it, and requires the gods end goddesses each,
to bestow gifts. The woman being thus celestially
endowed, is to descend to earth. Jupiter commis-
slims her to deliver a box to Prometheus fraught
with evils designed foe his punishment. He re-
ceives it, and prognosticating the contents, deelittas
to open it. His brother Epimetheus meeting Pm.
lore, and being enamoured of her, and chained to
her with a hand of flowers by a sportive Cupid,
yields to their joint and solicitous curiosity, and
opens the box. Flames instantly flash upwards,
and a crowd of demons, represonialive of the savage
passions, rushes in. The men made and DOW
rendered vital by Prometheus fall out in

deadly contention, while, 4N • fiends either
mix with or review the heat. Prometheus
being chained by the demons to • rock, is released
by Novak:, and shuts the fatid`box. The storm
of evil being exhausted, Cupid and Hope appear,
and promise 'comfort to mankind. They are con-
ducted to the groves of Idaho, anti the scene closes
with a general- divertisement and spectacle. The
piece has greet taste in the arrangement, and the
floe connexion of so many important portions of
heathen legend, all hearing so appositely on the
early economy of the passions. The action has
nothing of quaintness, but accords unassumingly,
but very perfectly, with the drift of the plot. The
dances are delightfully varied, end have much of
characteristic keeping. Some of the grouping.
are admireble, especially those of the Graces
by themselves, and then with the Nymphs
and Hoes before Jupiter ; in which all that
is supremely beautiful in the reliefs of Grecian
, sculpture was set off, viols formic. An-
other excellent grouping, with suitable action,
fell out from the strife of the new-made mortals,
aggravated by the iiitermeddling demons. The
piece introduced four new dancers, of whom it is only
necessary at present to notice ANATOLE. the new bid-
let-master, and Mad. ANATOL& He is • performer
of great power and agility, and presents, in his most
active feats, a graceful anal quiet adjustment of the
form. Mad. ANATOLE IMP a very perfect dextenty of
pedal motion and pretence; a repose of gracefulness
in her most nimble evolutions. Her style seems to
be derived (rota the same source as that of the
captivating NOBLIT, to whom also she bears
in figure and action considerable resemblance.
She performed Pandora, and seemed to carry her con-
quest over Epimetheats by the sway of irresistible
' loveliness. BOMERARD performed Prometheus.
and ALBERT Epimetheur. The former is chiefly
confined to manual (vulgarly pantomimic) action,
which he effected with great spirit. ALNERT is an
astonishing instauce of continuing improvement.
He is, below the shoulders. a match for ally male
dancer in grace and agility he falls a little short
of some few of them in the curving and position of
the arms- lbjetels hale with Mad. 4NATOLk
