DRURY-LINE THEATRE.—This evening the long-pro-
mised opera by Meyerbeer, entitled L'Etoile de Nord,
will be performed for the first time. The arrangements
for the representation of the opera are of the most ex-
tensive character, and, in addition to the celebrated
Jenny Baur, Mr. li. Drayton and Mr. Leffler have been
engaged. The chorus ha 3 been augmented to upwards
of eighty voice, and a like increase has been made to
the orchestra. The appointments are, it is said, of the
most elegant description, and everything that the most
lavish expenditure could procure has been done to give
due effect t.) this celebrated dramatic opera. Some idea
may be formed of the splendour of the scenery, dresses,
and other etc.'s, from the fact that upwards of a thou-
sand pounds have been expended in order give gran-
deur to the work. Renowned as Old Drury has ever
been for spectacle, this opera bids fair to outrival all
previous productions.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—This evening- the fascinating
Perea Nena again appears at " the little theatre in the
Ilapaia,rket," in two new ballets. Mr. Buckstone has
also secured the services of Senor Marcus Diaz, in order
that the Spanish ballets may be produced in first-rate
style. Report speaks very highly of the two ballets
announced for representation this evening, viz., The Bull
Fighter, and a Gallician Ft

SOUTH AMERICAN MAILS.—LIsRoN, Feb. 19.—The
Portuguese steamer Don.t Maria, 11. arrived here on
Saturday. Advices from Rio de Janeiro state that the
Brock of coffee had been very much reduced by shipments
for Europe ; but large supplies were expected upon the
cessation of the heavy rains which hal stopped the tran-
sit. At Bahia surgars were very firm and even scarce.
At Pernambuco, sugar receipts had been heavy.
A letter from Helsingfors, in the Borsenhalle of Ham-
burg, says :—" In a speech delivered by General de
Barg, the new Governor of Finland, at a grand dinner
given in his honour by the town, was the following
phrase :—` Gentlemen, my return within your walls does
not announce to you any favourable change in circum-
stances ; it proves, on the contrary, that the trials to
which you ;were subjected last year, are likely to be
renewed.'"

Accounts have reached the French Government of the
