KING'S TNEATRE.

The opera of Elisa!Petra, Regina d'lnghiltirra,
which wes originally produced for the benefit of Mad.
F ODOR, was represented ou Satin-day night. When
ae first heard of this opera, its title gave us consi-
derable pain. The idea of Efixobeft—the Maiden
Queen—the " fair vestal throned in the West"—
soul of her sturdy and unbeirdistg
patching the otftirs of state, iii UMW'S, and making
a mere song (as has been the custom of these latter
dull.) of great national question., discomposed our
feeliiigs very considerably. But, when we wit-
ner,ed the opera, we were agreeably deceived. We
found, indeed, wawa familiar to English litstory—
but nut the slightest approximation to any event
which the reign of Elisabeth produced. The plot
may he given m a very few sentences. The Earl
of Leicester hiss been sent by his Royal Mistress on
an expeditor's against the Scotch. lie is suositiblul,
No

lie is overcome by a lady, alto is nearly eon aected

Scots—by what sire we are not informed. When
Leicester, crowned with lastrelr, leaves Scotland.
for the English Court, he is followed. loot he
is urn acquainted with the fact, by his Wife Airni/t/44,
divisive(' as s page, and her brother Henry. The
secret ref his marriage is discovered by the Duke of
Norfolk,.who, it appears, is desperately in love wills
ctsicesi Hisabeth, and she no less essamonred of
Leicester. The Peachery of Norfolk, alto, like
souse of the spies of the rosin day, incites
his friend to rebellion, is lineally laid optic—tlie
Qmeen, after various attempts to shake Lei-
cester's faith, sanctions his oiling' with illatilda
stud the piece closes with an amnesty to all,
except Norfolk, who, threatened with the se-
verest vengeance, leaves the Royal presence. This
opera, as ae are informed, was first represented at
the theatre of St. Carlos, at Maples. If those who
witnessed it were ignorant of English history. they
must have folioed, ir they supposed the piece found-
ed on fact, an extraordinaiy irked Queen Elisabeth.
and of some of the Statesmen by whom her reign
was rendered glorious. Had the title, beets Catha-
rine. kinpress of !Cassia, it would have been more
appropriate. That lady fell in love occasionally,
soil took very little pains to disguise her paseion—
bin, if Elizabeth loved, her feelings were so much
concealed, that even history, whose searching eye
penetrates the isimint retreats of Monarchs, is
almost silent on the subject—and, where the Muse
•dors speak, she speaks most doubtingly.
The music of the opera is the composition of Ro-
tIN I. It is the *remit' production of tins composer

no two pieces, the work of the saute matter, were
ever snore decidedly opposed to each other, than are
those two 'lke Barber qf Seville and (Jams kliza-

works for performance in London. The opera of
The Barber of seethe is remarkable for its flo-
ridity—the opera of Queen Elizabeth is distin-
guished throughout by strength acid gravity. Some of
the symphomes are admirable—particularly whet'
the wind instruments are introduced—Nod the
cliortisses (probably the snort difficult pad of an
opera) are so arranged as to produce a very power-
ful effect. without breaking it' on the original strain
of harmony, with which they are connected. This
piece is infinitely honourable to Ruitat —it places

were never more exquisitely pourtrayed. ileraddress
to Leicester, in the second art, where she calls on
hint to leave Ilia prison, and, by a secret pass, to fly
from his accusers, was, we think, her greatest effort.
The struggle between pride and feeling, which
[toils t has admirably described in his 11'1114'; by
frequent contrast of the minor and major keys,
was correctly given. Signora Coaat, as Matilda,
sang very expressively nod most sweetly. Son►e
of our contemporaries have blamed her for want
of auimatimt. Hail she displayed more anima-
tion thole she does in this character, we should
have had very little respect for her judg-
ment. Her address to Leicester," Alti ! sposo," if
the expression will be allowed, was full of tender
energy. Signor GAttetA, us Norfulk, appeared to

but in his tarn:tipsl scenes with Efisksbeth, evinced
great We'd* as Mn actor. His ail, Swag doisis

ROYAL ACADEMY.

. .
Thicilajr• the fiftieth Annual Exhibition of the
Royal Academy will commence at Stinserset.
Wove. 'ln our last we enumerated the Royal and
digisiguished visitors olio honoured the private
view with .their presence on Fridayt.aml we also
made a few general observation ion .the works in
the Exhibition. A Paper of yestirdiy, describes
the present collection as being less numerouis than
formerly. This statement, though • portant, lisp.
pens nut to be the fact ; for the present Exhibition
contains 1.117 works, while that of 1817 contained
only 1,077. The increase is also obvert/able in
each department of art. There were in the lest
Exhibition 007 pictures, 139 architectural draw.
hugs and designs, &c. anal 71 works in the Sculp.
Lure-room, or Model Academy—nuking a total of
1.077. lbs the present Exhibition there are goi
pictures. 137 drawings wish designs, &c. and 70 iu
the Model Academy—making a total of t.ll7—
that is, an addition of 40 to favour of this year's
Eitliibition. The number, we already said, is
of little consequence, and quite diitinct from die
merits of the Exhibition ; but ,as unfortunately so
many o( our artists are only repaid fur their lauda-
ble Worts by the consciousness of their zeal and in-
dustry, it is right to corrett thii numerical ,'error,
even trifling as it is, wheat the means are at hend.of
at once setting the point at rest. In our last we
stated that the historical pictures, though numerous,
were yet not very conspicuous a' works of art. •
Mr. President WEAT's prioripal work is the
Nativity of our Suoitutr. The President represents
the Angel coinisioniesting to the Shepherds the
birth of the Seviour, owl directing their steps to
the monger where the divine Wind is to be founts!
with Mary and Joseph. lie has also a picture of
the WOMeN at the Sepulchre; takeis.from the.2Blh
chapter of St. Matthew ' • one of The Great *bumf
presenting to the late Lord Clive the. Grant of the
Driovinnee far the East India Company '• , and a
Sleeping Cupid. In the scriptural works, the designs
are tree sisal well-formed—there is great simplicity
of expression, and some excellent colouring. The
Presenting the Grant to Lord Cure has, we believe,
been painted many years; it it a calm and digni-
fied historical COlll 4444 1,111 of character and
imposing effect. The Cupid *hews the powers of
the President, when he relaxes into lighter and less
grave studies—it is soft and fleshy, with much
playfulness of expres%iuts.
Mr. HOWASD has four pietism, three ,of which
ure portraits, the fourth is in his true anal peculiar
style of poetical conception—it represents, froth
SHAIDPIABB'S Tempest. the Fairies—
" That on the moils with or intim font
Do chase the ebbing Neptune, said do tly Lint
Whim he coasts back."
This picture has exquisite grace and beauty.
Mr. FUSEL! has two pictures: one front the sth
chapter of Dante Inferno--
" E caddy come corpo mono cads "

The other is Irons The Dario. The former re-
presents Dante in his descent to hell ; he discoters
amidst the flights of hapless lovers whirled about is'
a hurricane, the forms of Paolo and Francesca, of
Kisseini—obtains Virgil's permission to address
them—and. being informed of the dreadful blow
that sent them to that abode of torment, at once
overcome by pity and terror, drops like a lifeless
corpse on the rock. This extraordinary picture
*hall hereafter receive some more detailed observa-
tions than our limits will at this moment enable us
to devote to its merits and peculiarities. It em-
bodies the mental sentiment of the learned and
useful Deeper, and strikingly illustrates his
rapid, vigorous, and extrautdinary style. SirJosisna

trial's:), and be more striking thus' a combination
of excellencies which do not seem to unite well tn.
gether. These observations, we thinks .apply to the
sty le of Mr. Finial ; his charactersare al ways strong.
ly marked, and of a peculiar best ; he copies from
nature with a bold and during hand ; and, led by
a vivid and powerful imagination, cooties her into
au ideal form mid track, which has certainly often a
grandeur of effect, bnt in which sometimes the
idea is not sustained and justified by the eiecti
tum. This picture is certainly equal, if not sulk.=
rim, in energy of character, to those from Bac.
CActo and DAS Ntiet.OGENLIED, in the last Ex-
hibition. The Deluge is handled differently from
Mr. Wen's former pictute on the same subject,
and perhaps not with sr good an effect.
The landscapes and views are extremely nume-
rous and full of variety: Mr. TURNER and Mr.
Cater:krt. is we anticipated, take the lead. The
former has four pictures, viz. Ruby Castle. the
seat q/ the Karl of Darlington—the View of Dort
(which we mentioned several days ago)—The field
ti Waterloo. from Lord Exaom's beautiful de-
scription of that meet-stumble event—and • land-
scape Composition of :lied/. There are parts of
these pictures finished with exquisite beauty, and
which are well Calculated to sustain the Character
of Mr. Toasts, as being decidedly one of the
first landscape painters in Europe.
Mr. tALCOTT'S Mouth of she Tyne is also an
admirably tiiiished picture.
Mr. ‘ViLillt has two pictures—one of them an
Errand Boy. the other, iiiterestiog Sketches of the
I omily of Walter Scott.
Mr. COOPER and Mr. H. B. Curium have
some beautiful pictures in their respective styles—
the latter, who is animal painter to the Royal Family.
has been this year extremely b u ccrs, tu I . sod his
works are deservedly admired. A portrait of Lusa.

ARCHItRCTURAL DRAWINGS; At.

plution, entitled to peculiar observation. At such
a utomesst the encouragement of architectural de-
signs is of the first consequence, to prevent the
intended public edifices from becoming as discre-
datable to the national taste as the greater part of
the last coistage was, front the want of a proper
competition for the work. Messrs. So A NB, Vt. YAW,

and a whither of others, by artists of great merit.
The hints of course, for the value reason HA
the portraits, nearly fill the Sculpture-room, an•e
Mr. CHANTRZY displays his usual pre.emmetice in
this department. He has eight busts, the principal
are of Mr. President West. Sir Joseph Books.
and the late distinguished and much-lamented
Francis Horner. The bust of the last character
is a good likeness, but the upper part of the head
does root appear as strongly marked as it was in the
original. Mr. Homo had one of the broadest
and most expansive foreheads we ever saw. its
us-
pression was that of deep thought, and occasimiat
sterness. The lower part of Isis face had little
character ; it was certainly deficient in tho►e mark-
ings which enable a sculptor to bring out nadir..
geuce and life. As the bust of so deeply-lanseuted
a character, this is certainly entitled to interest ;
we believe it is also the only work of alt commemo-
rative of Mr. Hoax co. We never saw any pm trait
or bust of I " before (these have berms some noun.

he ever sat to en artist.

late Right liuu.GLosos PONSUNST. The stllts
