EGLISU OPERA.

Lint night, after the performance of Military radio,
for the second time, with a much more flattering receptioi
than it teperiencesl on its first representation, the popular
anelo.elraina of the .Ifair/ ai,d the Magpie was produced fie
the first time these tire seasons. The part of Annette Iris
sustained by Mks Kelly, who, on her appearance, •as
greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers, and was en.
dently affected by the continued plaudits of a full hause.
Milli Kelly's performance of this interesting chtracttrs
unriealletl, and cn this eecasinn she evinced a degree
feeling which almost surpassed her former ciErrts ; we nese
witnessed an vile' more powerful than that which wasp
dnced upon the audience by her inimitable actin.
The character of Eter,:rd introduced to us a Mr. C F.
Young (from America, his first appearance in Lott.
glen), who supported the interest of the piece with ;1%1:
Trolit. T. P. Cooke was the Is a', add it is summer
sary to say, that he threw into his part much of that me
lodramatic tact for which he is so conspicuous. Powers
Illaird was an uncept..l piece of acting ; in some pans he
appeared perfectly awkward ; but in the prison mere
and inilted on one or two other occasions, be see.
ported Alva Kelly with tilea discrimination and cn
:irling, and the applause which was bestowed ure,
their united exertions was in every desseved.
Gerard was well rear. tented by Alr'est=ll. Tie
piece was upon the whole well cast, as* went of yid
e:l.t ; hat the nitric was not the most effective ; ;Outlaw
it be that the season cat hardly be said to bare car,
minced, or whether any otlrr cause can be a si;ntsl,
know not, but the band weirs at presert not coolp'erir
organised. In the first piece, Mr. Peannen's song k-
muca of its effect for want of a snfficient accompatainter.
The air of " La /'slit Tanthanr" is well calculated for tie
words, cnd we can s r no impediment to its being tree
than usually reccessful ; but although it was descr-c,1.!
encored, Mr. Peanran was by no means indebted to tb
orchestra. We speak critically ; the house gave evidr:
proofs that it was satisfied, perhaps something more, sr.:
the season has at least opened with every prospect of ..-
ahundare harvest. Master Burke displayed his infar::
venius in an air upon the violin, and in the sons ec :!,
