blessed martyr St. George, tie about thy leg, for thy renown,
this noble Garter. Wear it as the symbol of the Most Illustrious
Order, never to be forgotten or laid aside, that thereby thou

KING'S THEATItk.—An opera in two acts,
by AIEfiCADANTR, called IJonna Caritea, never before
performed in this country, was last night represented fur
the benefit of Madame LAL►Nna. The scene lies near
Toledo, and the drainat:c, incidents take their origin from
the refusal of Donna Caritea, Queen of Spain (madame
LALANDIC), to give her hand to Don illfintso, King of
Portugal (Signor. DONZELLI), who determines, to obtain
it through the force of arms. As a musical composition,
this opera is by no means destitute of merit; but it dues
not exhibit a single trait of genius, and it bears too close
a resemblance to some of the composer's other works.
In the first act, however, there are some clever things, to
which the excellent singing of Madame Maultears and
Madame LALANDE gave great tiled. All the dramatis
persona exerted their best abilities, and we question whe-
thei it bas been beard to greater advantage on any pre-
vious occasion. If it has, on the whole, failed to plow,
it certainly was not through any want of ability, to do it
justice. liosstxr's opera, L'lnganno Felice, was after-
nude performed, followed by a part of Maigniello,
