In this simple, hut truly beautiful and pathetic

ance to her sorrows, at the time When the labours
under a strong persuasion of the alienation of her
huabind's affection. " It suits with her soul's sad-

note seemed to flow from the heart, lit the Mktg.
" Le ! here the gentle lark," &c. she received the
richly-deserved honour of an encore. It Is more
calculated for a display of skill and power, than an
expression of feeling ; but to a good execution re-
quires the union of high 'amoral powers with uo
inconsiderable degree of science. Miss Ganglia
performed it exquisitely. and it seemed scarcely to
cost her an e1i.1311, which is a great peculiarity of
her manner. We were glad to ate as oppor-
tunity given to Miss BIZAiIIIONT for the execs
lion of her talents, better than it allowed by the
run of parts windy assigned to her. She suitalited
Lucian in all respects meritoriously, and her merits
evicted the testimony of frequent applstise. Her
recitation, however, is at tunes a little ton rapid.

musical division of the drama. according to the origi-
nal arrangement, the two Antipholis's were sustained
by Mr. DITRUSET and Mr. JONES—the two Dronnos
by Mr. LISTON and Mr. Foams —and the illusion
was assisted by an exact similarity of dress in each
pair of brothers. It was Mr. LISTON'S first appetir.
once this reason, he fully maintained his reputation
for comic talent, as did Mr. Fatale ; the epectetor
has only to regret that their respective styles of
playing are not more brotherly. Mrs. frabciT's
Abbess was characterised by its former excellence.
The performance of the comedy in general gave the
highest satisfaction. The ballet of Annette sad
Lubin was then repeated, with some slight marks
of d;aapprobation from the audience.

ROYAL COBURG.

The celebrated piece of The Vampire, and the
grand Chinese ballet, have been repeated during the

Marquis of Mama', Marquis of Worcester, Lords &tuck-
