Royal English Opera, Covent-garden,

The new English Opera promises to be an ex-
traozdinary euzcess. The audiences attracted by
" Masaniello" have been immense, and last night
Flotow's "Martha" drew a crowded house. The
cast included Madame Lemmens Sherrington
(Martha), Miss Fanny Huddart (Nancy), Mr
Henry Haigh (Lionel), Mr H. Corri (Plunkett),
Mr Aynsley Cooke (Lord Tristan), while the in.
cidental divertissement was danced by Mdlle. Rose
Giraud, and Mdlles. Dachateau and Bonfanti.
Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, of course, extorted
an encore for her "Last Rose of Summer" in the
third act, but the effect was as nothing to the
positive furore of admiration which burst forth at
the close of her romanza, "Here, in tranquil
silence." The shake preceding the grace notes was

raesmNaarkncayblesasnwgeetness; and Mr Haigh, although
apparently suffering from cold, executed the
favourite air, she appeared, all seemed love,"
with excellent effect. Mr Corri and Mr Aynsley
Cooke also deserve commendation for the pains
they took with their respective parts. The choruses
were well maintained, and leave no point unfilled
the orchestra so complete and close that the over-
ture narrowly escaped' an encore. The Richmond
fair, with its gay and busy groups, and the graceful
dances so full of quaint and antique coloure,formed
one of the most animated sights imaginable; and
the whole spectacle was an admirable specimen of
skilful step management. Mr Macfarron's " Hel-
vellyn" stands announced for Wednesday next.
