under the Roman empire. The scene is laid in the ca-
pital of the Roman province of Arminia, of which Felix
is governor. His daughter Pauline is the wife of Po-
lyuttii., a noble Roman, who has secretly embraced the
Christian faith. Polyutus and his fellow Christians are
in the maser of 'pursuing the ritra of their religiotrio
the subterranean catacombs of the city. Ono of them,
the nearest friend of Polyutus, is discovered to be a
Christian, and to have converted a Roman to his faith.
Though exposed to torture, he refuses to divulge the
name of his convert, on which Polyutus publicly declares
himself the friend and convert of Nearchus, and shares
his doom. Pauline, hitherto ignorant of her husband's
religion, and holding it iu horror, visits him in his prison,
and, being herself converted, becomes along witlkhitn
and` his friends a martyr to the faith, being thrown: to
it
wild beasts in the public ampletheatre.
The: first two acts of, the opera are somewhat heavy, it
yet, the, ensemble was unquestionably most brilliant. The.;
opening 'seine is in the catacombs, in whiel• the 'Mai-,
tiana are- assembled fur' devotion. The hymn sung by,
them in unison is plain, simple, and solemn.
attended by a number of Roman ladiee, comes to the.
,sarne place to perform some religious rites at the tomb..
of her mother. They sing a hymn to Proserpine; tlfe'
tight character of which is Well contrasted with " the
music of the Christians. Pauline, left alone,by•the
tomb, sings ail invocation to her mother's:apiriti..ett.ateli
of: great. heauty and- expression. In this air, Mdttiel
Julienne, the new prima donna, made her .firet impression'
on the eudienoe, which Went on increasing to the end ,of
the Opera. Thts lady; Wh6 is froth the Grand (Jperabf

contains many beauties; and"was very finely given by
Mdlle. Julienne and Renconi, 'whose' whole perfornsaree
of the character of Seiretus was worthy of his high re,i.

Panlinti end her husband. The air king by Ttunberlik
in this 'scene, "Supremo Oggetto," is exquisitely,ender,
apa4elicipusly ancompanied by two violoncellos and the
soft wind instruments. In the next scene, whets Polyutus
resolves to- devote himself to death for the sake of his
friend, the air "Si audronel lora tempio," was sung with
astonishing energy, and received with reiterated acela-
tnations froth alt parts of the house. The prison scene
