THEATRES.

OPERA-ROUST.
The first rehearsal of the Italian open took place
on Saturday eveniag. The house is ecuect. dto
open in about u fortnight. Mr. EBIRS. the ►e-
spectable bookseller of Bond-street, is the ostensi-
ble proprietor, and Mr. Ava Tow the director. The
latter litm made a visit to Pan., and made several
engagements. including two of the first dance., in
that city. Madame CAMPON.6III3. Signor Minato.
GETTI. and • very large proportion of the late est.-
, bliahmetit, we understood. retain their place,.

DRURY-LAMS.
Areezer.res seems to grow in popularity from re -
petition. The house was fashionably crowded en
Satarday nigh, and most of the songs were loudly
encored. WS WILSON was iu fine voice, aad.aang
her songs with great spirit and rtfsct, and was
much admired and applauded. Mr. BRANAN was
no less happy in fixing the attention and delighting
the feelings of the audience. Consid►ring the in.
coherent interpolations which were made by former
singers in this opera, it redounds immensely to his
credit, and that of the musical depart.nent gene-
rally. that the opera is executed almost litanilly as
tt was written. 'l'he►only exception is the intro.
duetion of the ipsartert, whirls. from its great ex-
cellence and success, adds attraction to the piece.
It is something also to say for the increasing good
taste of the town that this opera, with very little
variation in the amusements of the theatre, con.
brines to draw overflowing and estolliaq audiences
on each intermitting night. The new silo: wee
of Therese continues to be received each night with
vcheniciit applause*.

COVENT.GA ROC N.

This theatre continues to delight the ro•u
through the efficiency of its operatic corps. The
APaviary was repeated on Saturday uight, to Ilse
high gratification of a crowded house. Miss Si',.
PRESS aeons to refine upon each successive per rogin-
sore. She is what the vocal people would call
one of the most sparkling and brilliant mulles at pre.
sent engaged in professional occupation. Emeay's
Ockiltre may be termed very properly a *wend
original, a being whose form and living economy
seems to belong to some period of time of which
we have nu other breathing remembrance.
The new farce having been withdrawn in defer-
ence to public judgment, the Warlock of the Giro
was substituted.

Although Mr. DIBDIN, in dramatising the new
popular novel of " Kenilworth," at this theatre,
has not adhered to the author's poetical and his..
toricsl narrative so closely as in the Heart of Mid.
Lothian awl lvonhoe, he has yet got up a pleasing
and interesting entertainment. The principal
scenes are those which relate to the intrigues
of Leicester, and the discovery and develop,-
meat of Sir Richard Varney's schemes at Ke-
nilworth. These are well managed. and as the
subject admits of a good deal of scenic pomp
iu the Queen's reception at the magnificent
castle of her ravoaritr, Mr. DIBDIN has beau uu-
sparing in expense to give effect to the peculiar
pageantry of that dar. Mrs. DiBMX'S lilisobeth,
was a very dignified personification of the maiden
Queen. Miss TATLoII'S interesting character of
the Countess of Leicester, was remarkable for
fine feeling and dignity. Mr. Bemoomau, in Lei-
cester, was remarkably effective, and indeed the
slime may he said of all the other characters, the
piece being uncommonly well case throughout. Some
of the allusions to the magnanimity of Elisabeth
and her declaration of the impanial justice which
she was determined to maintain in her dominions.
although they are to be found in the novel, and na-
turally arise out of the situations, were eoustrued
by the audience int. au allusion to her present
MASISTY, and loudly applauded. The house was
filled on Saturday night by a numerous and
fashionable audience.
