THE THEATRES.

HER MAJESTY'S.

Mademoiselle Garcia, sister to the late lamented Mali-
bran, made her appearance here last night for the second
time, in Rossin's opera of Otello. She is a singer of
great promise, and it is very seldom that one so young
achieves what she achieved last night. She had evidently
overcome much of the tremor which checked her powers in
the first act when we heard her Bran.--I.th. duet 4' Quanti
son fieri palpiti," and in the terzetto .‘ Ti peril l'amore,"
she displayed much more composure and.taste; and in the
parts which immediately precede and follow the superb
" Empia I ti maledico" of Lablache, she deservedly shared
in the applause which seas elicited by Elmiro. In the
second act " Cho smania," and especially the subsequent
celebrated passage " Se it padre m'ahandona," were given
by Mdlle. Garcia with an effect which brought her forward
to receive another round of applause on the fall of the cur-
tain. Of her execution of " Assisa a pie d'un sauce" aid
" Deh, calms, 0 ciel," we have already expressed our
opinion. The latter most beautiful morceau was even more
pathetically sung than when we heard it a few days ago.
At the close of the opera Mdlle. Garcia was once more
summoned before the audience, and came forward with
Rubini, whose performance, especially in the last scene,
was at least as deserving of that tribute of approbation.
Her Majesty honoured the 'theatre with her presence.
Among the company present was a noble foreigner, who
attracted the more attention as, while last accounts from
Paris connect his illustrious name with the recent Repub-
lican disturbances in that capital, sonic persons fancied
they had seen him riding in the Park yesterday afternoon
with his Imperial Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of
Russia. We were glad to find that Grisi had so far re-
covered from the serious illness, which we yesterday
noticed, as to be able to make a transient appearance in
her box.
