DRIIRY-LANB THEATRE.—GERMAN OrERA.—Her
M.tjt-sty has signifif d her intention of being present on
Frday evening next, to witness _Flotow's opera of
Martha, or the Fair of Richmond. Owing to the indis•
po,ition of Madame Marlow last night, the opera of
Das Nachtlager in Granada was substituted for that of
Martha.

GERMAN LUTHERAN CHURCH.—Yesterday a con-
cert was given at the Hanover:-square Rooms, in aid of
the Nude for building a German Lutheran . church at
It was noticeable that the German arti,ts came
forward in great force on the occasion, to aid im an ob-
ject which chiefly interests theircountrymen here. The
vocalists who . gave their services were Madame Palm
Spatzel, the prima donna of the German company at
Drury-lane; Millie. Romani, of the same troupe; Mdlle.
Nissen, Mdlle. Walter,, Madame Marlow,. and Mdlle.
Jetty de Treffz; Pisciwk, Formes (the fine basso of the
German troupe),.Erl, Stigelli, Muller, Stahl, and Gold-
Among the instrumentalists were Schuloff and
Mdlle. Davanee (pianoforte), Joachim (violin), 0
and Ltdel (violoncello), and Denault .(corne t. ..piston).°"nlann
Krause and his sons gave their aid on the accordion;
Strauss lent his band; and Herr. Roder, the director
of the German Opera, the fine chorus of that estab-
lishment. Herr Anschutz, the conductor at Drury-
laae, also lent his services ; and Benedict was one
of the general conductors of the concert. With 'such a
phalanx of talent, the concert could not bat go off sa- '
ti4actorily. The selection was good, chiefly comprising
favourite pieces, often given during the season._ Pischek
gained immense applause and an.encore in his delightful
" Duetches Lied: Treffz, as usual, charmed her audience
with the archness of her " Volslied," and the other voea•
lists ,acquitted themselves .arimirably. To particularise
all the successful pieces would be to repeat the programme.
The room was well filled.
LONDON WEDNESDAY CONCERTS.— The twenty.-
sixth of these concerts took:place yesterday evening. It
was the last but one of the season. The programme
presented no particular feature of novelty,
h but was
T
marked by taste in the . selection. chief
,v, vocalists
were Treffz (who gained a rapturous encore in ?min
thro' the Rye"), Mies Poole, the Misses Williams,
Pischek, T. Williams, Master.Sloman,und Binge. Mr.
Sims Reeves was amaouneted, but did .not appear. The.
chief instrumentalists were Mr. W. H. Palmer (piano-
forte), Mr. Richardson (flute), and Viotti Collins
(violin). The opera selected for the first part was the
Don Giovannit, some of the finest morceaux from which
were admirably given. In other respects the concert
went off well. At the next concert (on the 27th) Men.
deisloba's music to Antigone will be given.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
LA PRIMA BALLERINA. .
The plot of this ballet divertissentent, which 'will
be produced this -evening. is taken from an
incident in the career of a great danseuse. Whilst on
her way to fulfil an -engagement at Naples, with her
maitre de ballet and her cameriera, her carriage was
waylaid by bandatti.. But even banditti, in Italy, are
alive to art; and she achieved her liberation by executing
some of the choicest steps of her repertoire, as, Ariosto
did, under the same circumstances, by reciting. some
passages- of his " Orlando."
The scene of the ballet is placed in the mountainous
borders of the Roman States, . The brigands are re-
joicing with their families after • a successful foray.
Whilst some are feasting, some drinking; and others
gambling, the younger members of the baud are dancing
to the sound of mandoline and castagnettes. They are
interrupted iu their revels by Astolpho, the lieutenant
of the band, oho dispatches all those who are un-
araad to a fiera or festival in the neighbourhood,
which afford, au' opportunity of plunder. The men
disguise themselves as lame mendicants; others as
pifferari; whilst the women and children carry baskets
containing fl.wers or fruits. Hardly are they departed,
when the whistle of one of the sentinels on the adjacent
heights warns his comrades that travellers are approach-
ing. In the distance a travelling carriage is careering
along rapidly on the road to Naples. Immediately the
robbers cut down the trees, throw them across the road
the carriage must pass, and then conceal themselves.
The carriage approaches; you hear the cracking of the
postilion's whip, and the sound of the bells on the mules;
the mules stumble over the barricade, and the carriage,
loaded with a pale of light boxes, that betray the pre-
sence of a female traveller, is suddenly stopped. In au
instant the bandits seize the postilion, the cameriera, and
trio courier, awl bind them to the trees, This is so
quickly done that the .exquisiteiSignor Passolo, the re-
nowned maitre de ballet of st.' Carlo, has not perceived
the cause of the sudden stoppage; he descends from
the carriage, and at the sight of th bandit's pistols, he
.execates steps and gesticulations of mute terror more
exprt ssive than he has ever taught in has highest. flights
of the mimic art, and forgets his fair travelling compa-
bionin the carriage. But at this moment arrives Rinaldo,
Captain of the banditti, dressed' in the highest style of
modern fashion, who, with the utmost courtesy, hands
down from her carriage the yOting. lady—within. This
lady is Mdlle. —, who implores the Captain to permit
her to continue her route; but the Captain answers
that he is toe happy in the possession of so charming
a guest to part with her so soon: In the meantime the
robbers have draggcd ;forward the lady's boxes, and
the peculiar ttna splendid dresses within, as well as the
direction withi,te, reveals to Rinaldo. that
.the fair pro-
prietor is la prima ballerina," no less a dancer than
the celebrated Melte. —, whose renown has spread to
every part of the civilized world. He contemplates the
lady with the admiration and respect of a dilettante,
and inquires who is her finical companion, now grimac-
ing in utter-mostaerror. Mdlle. --aa— explains that he
is Signor Pa-solo, the most sublime of maitre: de bal-
lets, and the composer of all the arts and pus to whose
performance she owes.her triumphs. Mdlle. ----- now
once more implores her captor to allow her to depart
he holds council with his lieutenant and the chief bandits,
and, with their concurrence, consents to her request—
but on condition she will execute some of her most
rtinarkable pas before she departs. The great daocer
highly flattered at this novel triumph of her talent,
cheerfully consents to thiti proposal. The boxes are
scrupulously returned to their places, and, whilst she re-
tires to her carriage to put on her dancing costume, the
trembling Signor Passolo is compelled to execute a new
pas with the cameriera, of:which the eccentric inspiration
is dictated to him by the muzzles of the robbers' pistols.
Mdlle. now re-appears in the brightest of her cos-
tumes, the robbers form a circle, and amidst their enthu-
siastic admiration, she performs some of the most cele-
brated steps of her repertoire. At the conclusion of her
dancing the robbers themselves are the captives of her
talent; at her command they clear the road for her to
proceed. But at this moment the signal of alarm is
given; the sound of trumpets in the distance announces
the arrival of the dragoons in pursuit of the banditti.
The robbers disappear; their wives rush in in alarm,
but as the troopers enter, they begin dancing, in order
to conceal what has occurred, and delay their march.
Mdlle. —, flattered by the triumph she has achieved
over her fierce admirers, silences Passolo, and assures
the officer that she has met with no obstruction. Hardly
has he conducted her back to her carriage than a proces-
sion of black penitents is seen crossing the mountain
path, the soldiers lay down their carbines, and with all
present, go on their knees. The penitents drop their
cloaks and masks, reveal their bandit costume, raise
their guns, and the curtain descends.
