e tita beautiful bperi of 14/c:!fltf, .which hxs
bedi so il6crvcdly one of the:

the musical wbild, was perrorined for the 'first
time, this season; on Saturday last. there was

poweis with equal zeal and oriabated success. Her
first Song was such a fine display- of vocal excel:
lance, that the Audience loudly ..dcit:thded - it
again, and were highly gratified by a repetition;

ROVEDINb, in .the ifer,•rdean
Strength, levelled one of the ;•altr;rg INfe
with the ground, and the Audience were, r 4 course;
at least religious enough to oath in Lin dtleaCof
an evil spirm

Evadiag, which is really a very pleasing
Ballet, is much improved it, the perfurmrtce.----
Rb5.P., DI OE LOT, and PAilisaT, oht,,iocii- very
high applause, in which LABoki r, 14 Wife,
and particularly Hi LLIGSE k RC, 41)tirldantly
shared,.

The improvements in this -place, materially
contribute to the convenience of the Audience, as
well as the general heanty of the Theatre.
Though the House
,vas very inimerotisly at-
tended, yet the general facility of the,,,avernici
