ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COTENT GARDEN.—Mr
Macfarren'a new opera, " Helvellyn," was given for
the first time last evening. The scene is laid among our
English Alps, in a rural spot at the foot of Helvellyn.
The drama is a picture of country life in that primitive
region at the beginning of last century, and the story is on
the usual theme of love, with its jealousies and crosses, in
a gay and comic strain, but not without a romantic interest.
The libretto is from the pen of Mr Oxenford, and the music)
is remarkable for grace. It is evidently a work on which
our greatest English musician has put forth all his strength,
and is worthy of his name. The performance was altogether
admirable. The two female characters are equal in impor-
tance; and they were well sustained by Madame Parepa
and Madame Lernens-Sherrington. Mr Haigh was the
lover, and the villain of the piece was personated by Mr
Lawrence with great dramatic ability, while he showed that
his baritone voice is an organ of rare power and quality.
We shall give our detailed notice in a day or so.
OPENING OF THE NEW POTATO MARKET AT
KING.S-CROSS._The new potato market erected by the
Great Northern Railway Company adjacent to the goods
station, in Maiden-lane, King's-cross, was opened for busi-
ness yesterday, and was well att:nded by buyers and sales-
men. The market stands on a larger area than those at
Spitalfields and Borough combined, and contains 21 ware-
houses, besides sheds of sufficient capacity to contain the
consignments of that vegetable which arrive by the railway
from the northern counties and from Scotlend. The danger
to labourers of backing and carrying the sacks across the line
is obviated by a siding, upon which trucks are brought close
to the warehouses.
