The Comic Opera of II Principe di Tersest, was
announced for Saturday nigl.:, and promised to be
very attractive. About live o'clock in the afternoon,
however, a bill was posted up about the sisors of
the Theatre, statiiig, .4 That in consequence of the
sudden illoeis of Nlalame PLMINI, and *Madame
CAT A L•SI being confined by indisposition, the
Subleribers and the Public were most respeCt-
fully informed, that no performance could pos-
sibly take place that evening." This, of course
increased the public disappointment, and it was
feared a set ious disturbance would have taken
place. The carriage:: drove down as usual, and
the street was blocked up, whit* the populace
laughed at the rh.igrin depleted in the countenances
of the enraged Fashionables. We have nothing to
say with resped to the illness of Madame Pants' ;
she has more than once come forward to supply the
place cif CA T A L•NI, when that Lady has become
iudiliefid; and consequently we have no right to Ms-
ped she would have felt reludtance to do so on the
present occasion ; but she has certainly as much
right to be tat en suddenly di as Madame C r ;
and the lily unpleasant result is, that between Ow
one and the other, the Public ate deprived of their
amusement, and the Manager, who has enormous
salaries to pay, of his receipts. Madame CAT A L• 141
is unquestionably a woman of great merit and
astonishing powers, but the 19;•tiatisn of not being
able to sing twice in the same week, is as ridiculous
as it is unmindful of the liberal pairouage she re-
ceives. Were she in Italy, she would be compelled
perhaps to sing every Hight for one-sixth of the sa-
lary she receives here: with this especial recolleetion,
that if public singers, horn caprice or obitior:ry, re fuse
to appear on the stage, they ale subjefied to pains
aini penalties, extremely mortifying, and much at
variance with the pride and consequence they as-
sume in other count les. But k.ligh.tinien most be
faihionelle, and though every foreigner in the coun-
try impudentl7 ridicules their a alit of mural tark,
they still continue to cry ()faro! iraco! and suffer
themselves to be duped by toe very persons who Ca-
mature their folly and rodlality.
The celebrated Gana ILLLI told Mr. BitV DOME,
on his LOUT in Izaly, that she was afraid to go to
England, the pe,ple or that country being so ty-
rannical, that they would not hesitate t . hiss a
Singer, that reds any airs upon herself off the stage.
Signora G. 4 satisci had timer a wrong opinion of
Englishmen, or they have changed a little since
her time.
