These baautifid ,Ipwrlessa were opened for the
season, last night, with a superb gala. In boom,' of

made, and that uu less than 40001. had been (s-

stauding the high expectations that this. report
retired. we must sontesa that the reality surpassed
our most sanguine hopes of elegance and In-may.

They consist of highly-coloured tampered appro-
priate emblematical figurers. Trio first is a fine
transparency of Victory with her appropriate ac-
companiments; the second, the briar Lord tt'el-
litigtoii, who, at present, holds the most interesting
command in the British anuses; and the third is
the patent Lord Cochrane ; whom we hope soon
organs to see bolding a high command on the other
elemeut, and teaching the enemies of Britain what
they have to dread from the hero of Basque Roads.

a lasting favourite with the public. Mrs. Bland,
in a sweet little air, closed the first act of the
music. •
