KING'S THEATRE.

After MOZ A RT'S comic opera of cosi fun Time,
the ballet of Appelles et Campuspe. of /a Genera-
sit d' Alexandre was repeated, ua Settirthiy even-
ing. It is the production of the celehrsted No-
VERKE, whose classical taste and fine unagination
shine in every part of it. The story

. resplendently
is extremely simple—but, though possessing little
intrinsic interest, the dances, various and elegant,
to which its circum►tances give rise, prevent the
spectator from dwelling on the barrenness of the ori-
ginal plot, which they are introduced to enliven
and embellish. Appelles has been employed
by Alexander to execute his portrait. While
the work is in progress, the hero introduces
his intended bride, Casspaspe, to the artist,
that she may view the picture, and deliver her
sentiments on its merits, Appelles is smitten by
the fair one's beauties—but is restrained by her
high rank from disclosing his passion. He is di-
rected in pourtray the charms of Catnpaspe, a task
which the enamoured painter undertakes with de-
light. Consparpe is fantastical. She knows her
charms, and, determined to put the artist's skill to
the test, she orders him to depict her in five diffe-
rent characters. She appears as a Bacchante, laugh-
ing and sporting with her merry attendants—as
Pal/as, with a train of pigmy warriors—as /Jima,
accompanied by her chase-loving virgins—as liosa,
attended by her priestesses. bearing wreaths of
flowers—and, lastly, as Venus, reclining on a ver-
dant bank, surrounded by the loves and graces.
This final exhibition overcomes the prudence of
Appelles. The attendants of Compaepe having
retired, he seizes the glorious golden opportu-
nity," and, on his knees, declares the violence of his
passion. At this moment, a favourite mistress of
Alexander, who is rendered jealous by the pre-
ference the hero has given to Compaq'', enters the
apartment where Appelles is expressing the senti-
ments of his soul, and, having discovered the secret
which is likely to overwhelm her rival with disgrace,
hastens to inform Alexander. The hero now ups
pears oo the scene—but, overcome by the en-
treaties of Appelles and Cosapolpe, he pardons
their indiscretion, and joins their hands. The
union of the happy pair is celebrated by a
variety of dances, which call into rtquisition
the whole of the ballet corps. %Ve think this
is one of the happiest revivals with which, of
late years. the public have been gratified at this
theatre. We were struck, most forcibly, by the
admirable grouping of the figures around Cant-
pave, in her different characters. Nothing can
be imagined more elegant or beautiful. In the
dances, with which the piece concludes. Madame
COPERE, Mademoiselle LB BRETON, Mademoi-
selle Huwrit, and, above all. Madame Cistern
and Mademoiselle MILANIE, greatly distinguished
themselves. Monsieur BAPTISTE, Mr. BYRN E. and
Monsieur HOLLIS, went through a great number
of difficult dances, with grace and animation.
The music of the ballet is the composition of
Mons. Jouvs—and is remarkable for the skill with
which it is adapted to the expression of the feelings
by which the characters are supposed to be agi-
tated. We were greatly pleased with the overture
—both in its serious, lively, and military move-
ment. The music which accompanies the appear-
alive of Comparpe, in her different characters, is
beautifully appropriate. The hunting movement,
when she is about to step forward us Diana, is a
delightful strain.
The house was fully attended, and the ballet was
received with undivided applause.

Hence, far from swayed even by the innocent pas-
