IIIYMARKET THLUTKE.
The style in which The Marriage V Figaro is
got up deserves the highest praise, as it hot wet
with the mast decided semis. The house was full
at the drawing up of -the curtain last night. The
very mndenote 'pretensions which the managers put
forth in their announcements on the score of music,
would scarcely lead say one to expect to hear the
airs, duets, and choruses, executed as they are in
this piece. Mr. Dusan, as Figaro, shewed great
expertness in getting through the difficult music
assigned him, independently of the vivacity of his
performance. He was very warmly applauded in
the military air, best known by its Italian title of
" Adis pia Andrei," which he sang from beginning
to end with surprising dexterity. Lt noticing this
song. the orchestral arrangements command atten-
tion. as they are equally creditable to the liberality
of the managers and the skill of the musicians.
The composition could scarcely be heard in more
adVantage in the opposite building. Miss R.
Corral, as Salami, and Miss CARRIV, as the
Countess, come up to any thing yet seen in the
enactment of their several parts, and almost to soy
thing yet heard in the music. which has been so hap-
pity engrafted from MOZART on the English play.
Mr. L. Lss makes the pert of Fiorelli conspicuous
by the evenness and polish of his tones. The duet
between bias and Miss R. Coital (" Crude/ perehe"
is the original), was very vehemently meowed, and
excellently song on both occasions. The duet con-
caning the letter, between Susanna and the Comaiess,
was equally well given. Mrs. GARRICK. as Bur-
Urine, was only inferior to the two other bodies.
Sbe sang the air from Rossini, which is inserted in
the English piece, with more feelin., and evident
apprehension of the breams of the composition
than are generally attributed to her. The ports
confined to acting and dialogue were happily dis-
posed., Mr. Jones, as the Count, is well known
from his able fulfilment of the part at Covent-
garden. Mrs. CUADTIRLET'S performance of
Ceierubitio is one of the liveliest and most amusing
parts of the entertainments. She ditties on • the
commerce of toying and women's favours, of smiles
and kisses, and amorous pleasantries, with an op-
patently heartfelt zest, which yet is so harmless
that prudery itself would scarcely wish to diminish
it. Mr. TATLIORR played the soaking gardener
well. The laughter was abundant, and the gratifi-
cation of the audience complete, as indeed how
should it be otherwise on witnessing one of the
most exhilarating comedies, interspersed with the
choicest music, and the whole set off with the best
charms of good singing and good acting ?
