DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Madame Albertazzi's benefit at this theati e, last night,
proved very successful. Every part of the house was crowded,
and the boxes exhibited an array of fashionable company
which is hardly ever seen now-a-days at an English theatre.
The reason, no doubt, was, that they did not come to see an
English entertainment. Madame Albettazzi had the assistance
of all her fellow-performers of the Italian Opera-house, and
the entertainment of the evening mainly consisted of an Italian
concert, in which Grisi, Albertazzi, Rubini, Tamburini, La-
blache, &c., performed the songs and duets which have been
repeated, usque ad nauseum, at all the benefit concerts
for the several seasons. The only thing which, to
concert-goers, had the slightest novelty, was the perfor-
mance of a youthful violin-player named Kontsky, whose
execution of one of Dc Beriot's airs with variations indi-
cated genius and talent sufficient to raise him to the summit
of his art. His tone is as yet defective in strength and
volume, but it is exquisitely clear, liquid and sweet. His ex-'
ecution is brilliant and finished, and his style elegant and ex-
pressive. His performance, indeed, would have done no dis-
credit to De Beriot himself. We should have thought that a
dramatic singer, taking a benefit at a theatre, would have
made an opera the chief part of the entertainment ; but in-
stead of this a very long miscellaneous concert was followed
by the first act of Catherine Grey, the least successful of
Balfe's operas, selected for no other reason, that we can ima-
gine, but that the music of this composer, which is much more
Italian than English, is the only music belonging to the Eng-
lish stage which this lady's exclusively Italian education en-
, ables her to sing. She was in good voice, acquitted herself
ably in her different performances, and was warmly applauded.
Among other members of the haul ton, the Duke of Welling-
, ton was present. On his appearance he was loudly and re-
peatedly cheered by the audience.
