LYCEUM THEATICE.

The Opera of Lone iu a Village was per fame&
last night, for the first time at this Theatre. Mrs.
Btsnor, who made her debut at Drury-lane The-
atre, in the part of Rosetta, was absent from indis-
position; and Mrs. MOVNTAIII not being prepared
to come forward at such short notice, Miss
KiLLY most obligingly undertook the part, so late
as last morning. With all this disadiantage, this
young lady proved a moat interesting Rosetta. She
sang the songs with great sweetness, and ht the scene
where she admonishes Madge, displayed such dis-
crimination, feeling, and good sense, as convinced
the audience that there was nothing wanting but
•Iroper study to have made it a most perfect repre-
rutation. Mr. [inters, in Young Meadows,
~.ointrining sense with sound, gave great interest to
the character. His songs were executed with his
usual taste and sweetness, and received touch ap-
plause. Mr. Dowyon's Justice If'4l4rock. Mr.
SMITH'S Hodge, and Mrs. BLARD'S Madge, were
excellent. The Opera received unbounded ap-
plause throngbeut. The Statute Donee, aided by
Mr. Perim, kept the house in a roar of laughter.
