HER MAJEST Y'S THEATRE.
The success of Mademoiselle Alboni was confirmed oil
Saturday, and, probably from increased confidence, her
voice appeared even fuller and richer than on the opening
night. The phrase "to vorrei gaper percbe " was still
the point on which the audience rose to enthusiasm, and
" Non pill 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, be in-
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 TnEATRE.--Alboni 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. Thu
debuts of these artists have been so arranged, as whilst
affording novelty, not to interfere with each other, luta!
they combine in operas like II Matrimonio, &c. One of
the earliest revivals after Easter will be Don Giovanni,
with Frezzolini, Alboni, Lablache, Coletti, Belletti, &c.

WINDSOR THEATRICALS.7AS a record of the late
dramatic performances at Windsor Castle, Mr. Webster
has collected all the plays acted on the five nights, and
has published them in a superb quarto volume. To
every piece there is an elaborately illuminated frontis-
piece, a different pattern being adopted for each, and the
whole book has for its title-page a representation of the
theatre in the Rubens Room, with the illustrious audience
assembled. To make the record perfect, a complete set
of the beautifully embossed play-bills is bound up in the
volume, and there are lists of the distinguished visitors
on each occasion. Mr. Johnson, of the Nassau Press, is
the typographical artist by whom this splendid book has
been produced.
THE BOMEA.Y STEAM•VESSEL.—This remarkably
fine steam-ship, built by Pilch!r, with machinery by
Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., decidedly one of the finest
steamers that ever floated on the Thames, remains off
Blackwell, in charge of officers of Customs, detained on
suspicion that she was about to proceed to Sicily, to be
employed as a man-of-war against the Neapolitans. She
was detained by a searcher, on Friday morning, just as
she had her steam up, and was about to proceed to
Gravesend. No arms or ammunition of any kind were
found in the vessel.
