TTER MAJESTY'S THEATRE
THE OPERA SEASON, 186 t, WILL COMMENCE
ON SATURDAY, APRIL 9.
Ie offering the Prospectus of the ensuing Season to the
consideration of the patrons of Her Majesty's Theatre, Mr.
ikIAPLESON, encouraged by former successes, anticipates
with confidence that the arrangements he has been enabled
to conclude will be accepted as evidence of an earnest wish
on his part to merit a continuance of the liberal support
and kind approval with which his efforts have hitherto been
rewarded,
On entering upon the ardtious undertaking of restoring
Her Majesty's Theatre to its former rank as the first ope-
ratic establishment in Europe, Mr. Mapleson's ex.rtions
Were naturally directed to extending and completing its
Purely musical resources, and raising their character and
efficiency to the highest requirements of modern taste and
knowledge. The essential features of a lyrical theatre
having been thus secured, a more than ordinary share of
attention can be bestowed on the subordinate thilugh (in
the present day) important and multifarious element of mise
en scene. In announcing that the exclusive services of Mr.
Telbin have been retained, it may be assumed that, under
the direction of that highly experienced artist, the scenery
at Her Majesty's Theatre will in future equal all that has
been achieved in that department.
The orchestra, now so highly appreciated, has been
numerically reinforced, and its direction again confided to
Signor Arditti, whose recognised talent and untiring zeal
have raised the performances at Her Majesty's Theatre to
their present high standard.
The chorus has been strengthened by important addi-
tions, and is now almost entirely composed of singers from
the Teatro Regio (Turin) and the Liceo (Turin). Chorus
master, Signor Cbiaromonte.
A new organ is being erected by the eminent firm of Gray
and Davidson.
Several important works of great continental repute,
the titles of which are included in the prospectus, will be
produced in the most careful, complete, and efficient man-
ner.

In addition to the names of the established favourites of
last season will be found those of other artists of European
celebrity, who will havo the honour of appearing, for the
first time in this country, before the patrons of Her Ma-
jesty's Theatre.

The TANNH AU SER,
wog celebrated dramatic composition of Herr
Icuard
; Wagner, whose merits have been a topic of die-
,llBB`l34 throughout Europe for the last 15 years. The
2,4l,:utic story of Tannhauser, founded upon one of the
~fit ancient and picturesque of the Thuringian legends,
40.8 made this Opera popular even with the most stanch
ciciPonents of what is styled " the music of the future."
!Musicians however, are unanimous in pronouncing it the
I:masterpiece of its composer, and the Director of her
.l
l'44eaty's Theatre thinks that the production of a work
epresenting more forcibly than any other a school of
ttramatio music, which, though it has engaged attention ,
and invited controversy for nearly a quarter of a century,
is still comparatively unknown in this country, will afford
gratification to the patrons of her Majesty's Theatre.
" Tannhauser" will be brought out with the utmost splen-
dour and completeness.

This Company has been formed for the construction of a
Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's),
in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important
towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing
population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the
number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate
introduction of railways.
The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and
its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield
and avove average value ; whilst around the Coast there
are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea-
weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of
land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com-
paratively unavailable.
Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality
of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to
any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite
near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in
the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of
railway facilities, become available for export.
One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St.
John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is
also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce
of these mines is now brought by land-carriage (there being
no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of neatly
ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as
well as all necessaries required by the inland population,
are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides
these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held
during the year in this district, must add considerably to
the annual revenue of the Company.
The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown,
Ramsey, and Laxey : Douglas being the chief port, and the
great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of
arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and
from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin-
cipally conducte'l, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels;
the place of destination tor the produce is Douglas ; the
route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex-
pensive.

The access to the Island is easy, and the means of cora-
munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven,
Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by
sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient.
Hence, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above
100,000 passengers having been landed at its Ports during
the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian
relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a
matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas
to the interior, and across the Island to Peel.
The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the
salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The
picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap
living, provisions king abundant and comparati?sly inex-
pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so
small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per-
manent place of residenee.
Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are
now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of
the Ports of Douglas and Peel
The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently
established. •

The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings.
The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the
gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula-
tion along it are most favourable to the project.
From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much
care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official
Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic will re-
turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital. The fol-
lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic :
Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum.
Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c 6,500
Parcels and Mails

Z 13,150
Working Expenses at even 50 per Cent. 6,500

Leaving for Dividend £6,6bo

Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all
necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with
the St riding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an
Act of the Local Parliament.

Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island,
and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the
value of Railway property in England and other countries,
no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can-
not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this
Lino.

An eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase
the land, make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations,
furnish Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs,
upon satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent. per Annum
will be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount
paid upon shares.
An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon-
sible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years.
Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from
the Secretary, Solicitors, or Brokers of the Company.
