EVENING EDITION.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

1 Last night a scene occurred in this theatre which all bet
k ?
surpassed in violence and uproar the 0. P. rows in 1,..09
ill, performances announced for the evening . were I
pu -
iliant, and a ballet in which Madamoiselle Center was to
appear for the first time. During the performance of the
°Pere there was to disturbance. It was received thr6ugh-
-1
raet with much applause, and at the close the principal
performers were called for, and greeted with loud marks
of approbation. Immediately afterwards strong symptoms
of d eapprobation were manifested among a portion of the
audience and when the orchestra began the overu-e to
the ballet tho malcontents burst out into such an uproar
that the musicians could not proceed. There was then a
"11 of " Laporte," mixed occasionally with the name of
amburini. However, M. Laporte did not come forward
for some time, and when be did so he was received wi,h
tatich disapprobation by a not very largo, but very noii.
portion of the audience. He tried to address the
house but, from the great noise, only an occasional
sentence could be heard. He said, "It is proper that I
should explain, in reference to the name that has
been mentioned.—(Cries of " Engage Tamburini.")
1 cannot speak Engl:sh so well as you; but as there
are engagements far the opera at Paris, i: is
necessary to look for talent elsewhere."—( Cries of
", Not true," " He is here," and great dissappro-
bati")• This is like intimidation." M. Laporte retired
amidst a great noise, and the band becran to play the intro
duction to the ballet. The disturbs destroyed the
effect of the music, and the band stopped. M. Laporte
again came forward. He said, " I have catered for the
Public for 20 years, and I have procured all the talent that
Possibly could be procured.—(Cries of " Engage Tam-
bur' • ,
I°'• .) The person who is responsible for the engage-
'floats must have some discretion allowed him."—(Great
11°4°.) M. Laporte retired, and the curtain drew up,
and displayed a very beautiful scene, and about fifty of
the corps de ballet. By this time the great majority of
t°,.‘ house wished to see the ballet, and those who
wished to prevent it by this time did not exceed
thirty in all, some ten or twelve of whom were
Young men of fashion, who occupied two boxes on
the stageone on the right, and the other on the left.
The corps de ballet stood still on the stage for upwards of
an hoar. The moment the band began to play the dis-
turbance was renewed. M. Laporte came forward three
I°°re distinct times. He said, amidst great disturbance,
80 that only a sentence could occasionally be heard, that it
1.46 of no use for him to make engagements if his means
did, not allow him to fulfil them. But at last he said, as
too Public appeared to wish it, he would make proposds
LSignor Tamburini. Upon this the band recommenced
ying'. and many persons supposed what the ballet would
. gin, but instead of that the young men of fashion in tne
thtwo boxes on the stage, who bad been before so active in
e disturbance, jumped from their boxes on to the stage;
o curtain fell, and everybody left the theatre.
rM. Laporte was very indistinctly heard owing to the tre-
eel-410ns uproar, and accordingly his words are given dif-
rentlY in most of the papers. One paper states that•he
R"ld engage Tamburini on the usual terms, another that
was quite impossible to give him that he had before, and
cthird, which is the more correct, adds, that " nothing
I,,areely could be heard of what the manager said." The
°,ne altogether was not very creditable to the aristocrati.
"1 audience, that ought to lead fashion in good manners
I" good conduct. The Chartists behave themselves like
fteduietis.emen when compared with these high-born lords and
