HER MAJESTY's THEATRE.
The success of Mademoiselle Alboni was confirmed on
Saturday, and, probably from increased confidence, her
voice appeared even fuller and richer than on the opening
night. The phrase "to vorrei caper perche was still
the point on which the audience rose to enthusiasm, and
" Non piu mesta " was encored with the same ardour as
on Thursday.

One would think that every one who frequented the
Opera was perfectly acquainted with the style of dress
required by the establishment. However, the quarrels
which frequently ensue with Mr. Weale, the zealous
guardian of the pit, about trousers and neckerchiefs,
show that this is not the case. It may, therefore, bein-
structive to state that Opera costume for gentlemen con-
sists of a dress coat, plain black or white neckcloth, and
black or white trousers. The waistcoat may vary ac-
cording to the fancy of the wearer.

HER MAJESTY'S TDEATRE.—AIboni leaves on
Wednesday for Paris, the season of the Italiens not clos-
ing until Easter. Mademoisselle Parodi, the pupil of
Pasta, arrives to-day, and Frezzolini after Easter. The '
