I HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE

Last evening was a glorious night for Her Majesty's
Theatre. Jenny Lind appeared for the first time as Amina
in La Sonnamlmla. At an early hour in the afternoon
there were crowds assembled round the doors of the
theatre, and It hen the doors were opened the crush was
terrific. Not only was every place which could
command a view of the stage occupied within
ten minutes after the doors were opened, but
every place from which it was possible to catch the
sound of a note was the subject of keen contest. The
steps leading up to the pit were crowded by ladies before
the curtain row. The Amina of Jenny Lind is perfect ;
we have eeen Malibran, Grisi, and Persiani in this part,
but Jenny Lind is infinitely superior to them all.
Far and away from any of her successors stands
Malibran, but there was an appearance of
effort about her version of the character which is
entirely absent in the Amina of Jenny Lind. To ren-
der this character perfectly, is a most difficult task. It
requires at once the perfection of refinement and of
simplicity. In no character is the ars ceLire artem
more required than in that of Amine, and never has
that " grace beyond the reach of art" been snatched,
save by Jenny Lied. In the latter scenes, Malibran
was triumphant, but in the earlier scenes she was too
much of the artiste. We missed the simple country girl,
Jenny Lind gave us this to perfection. She was the
very Amina of the author, the simple-minded, honest,
virtuous country girl ; one in whom it was impossible
not to trust. With all former representatives of the
part, we haee felt for Elvino as the victim
of cireuinstinces ; with Jenny Lind as the
Amina, the spi ctator feels angry with Elvino
for his want of faith. lie should have believed against
appearances, have lcved against hope. It was impossible
that she could deceive. But when the girl finds her
plighted faith thrown away—that she is not trusted—
that circumstances are believed against her—then
was her despair heart-rending, yet beautiful—
beautiful from its agonising truth to nature--
Every one knows the grand scena of Elvino in the last
act, beginning with the "Tutto e sciolto," and increasing
in intensity until the climax is reached in the " Ah !
perche eon posso odiarti." This has always hitherto
been considered as appertaining to Elvino alone, been
treated almost as a concert scena ; to the great
detriment of the effect of the opera, as a whole,
The by-play of Jenny Lind restored this scene to its
proper place .as a portion of the opera. Her acting was
superb. Never has the mute agony of despair been
more pathetically represented, and then the last scene was
a perfect triumph. She did not, as her predecessors have
done, slur over the sleep-walking scene to reserve her-
self for the "Ah ! non giauge." Her subdued manner
of' giving "L' anello mio " was heart•rending as a piece
of acting, and as a piece of vocalism was one of the
most astonishing efforts ever exhibited. The nightin-
gale-like notes dying away in the distance, which Jenny
Lind, and Jenny Lind alone, can give, here told with
marvellous effect. Her manner of giving
"Ma ravvivar l'amore
II pianto mio non pub,"
was exquisitely pathetic, and then when she awakes and
finds Elvin() restored to her, "Oh I gioia ! oh gioia !"
The whole audience felt with her. They were relieved
from a burden of care and eorrow—justice was
done to the injured, and every heart responded
with her "Oh gioia." Then came the finale—the
capo d'opera, "Ah I non giauge"—the trial scene of
every prima donna—and never has this scena been
given as it was given by Jenny Lind. She is
the prima donna of the world. Surpassingly beautiful
was her lioriture, adorning but not overwhelm-
ing the melody. Original, in the highest sense
of the word, as bringing out the true meaning of the
composer, was her reading of this celebrated scena
—(would that Bellini could have lived to have heard
her, he would have acknowledged that the world had at
length produced an artiste worthy of interpret-
ing his highest inspirations) and exquisitely
true to nature, powerful from its very simplicity was
her acting (if acting that can be called which is nature
itself) in this most beautifully pathetic scene. That
the applause was rapturous is needless to record.
To say that she was encored and called for twice
and bouquets showered upon her is also matter of supere-
rogation; but we have also to record, that that which Ed-
mund Kean considered worthy of record as the highest
compliment that could be paid to him, was paid to Jenny
Lime " The pit actually rose at Sir,"
said Edmund Kean, and the boxes, pit, and gallery,
rose at Jenny Lind, and amidst the waving
of hats and handkerchiefs, and the loud and oft reite-
rated cheers of an upstanding audience, she retired, after
having been twice called before the curtain. We have

. _
now heard Jenny Lind in two operas of two perfectly dif-
ferent schools, and she who is equally great as an interpre•
ter of the German and the Italian schools of music ; she,
who can equally interpret Meyerbeer ard Bellini ; she,
who is the greatest Alice and the greatest Atnina, who
has ever appeared, may be truly denominated the Prima
Donna of the world. The house was crowded to suffo-
cation in every part.
The Queen, accompanied by his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, and his Serene Highness the Prince of
Leiningen, 'honoured the performances with their pre-
sence. The Royal suite comprised the Countess of
Charlemont, lion. Miss Stanley, Lord Waterparke,

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT GARDEN.
A combination of manyattractions last night assem-
WM a fashionable and numerous audience at this theatre.
Donizetti's opera buffs L' Elisir &Amore was first pro-
duced, with Madame Persiani as Adina. There is no
part bettor suited to the peculiar and extraordinary
powers of this lady that than of the capricious heroine.
It gives full scope to her brilliant and surprising ca-
denzas, so perfectly executed, while at the same time her
voice is in no part strained. It has, therefore, ever been
considered one of the greatest triumphs of her art, and on
no former occasion has it been more perfectly or exqui-
sitely rendered. Although suffering under the effects of
a slight attack of influenza, no trace of it was discernible
in her finished performance. It is hard to particu-
larise any single excellence where all was admirable. In
the second act the change of feeling towards the scorned
• and slighted Nemorino, when she feels that she now
loves him she had formerly despised, but who had
in turn become cold towards her, and also
learns that he had sold his liberty to become
a soldier, in order to obtain the magic draught,
was beautifully expressed, and rapturous applause was
bestowed on her graceful delivery of " Una tenera
occhiateria," when, refusing the offered philtre, she
trusted to the more simple and natural means of re-
calling her truant lover, which she knew to be within
her power. Salvi was the Nemorino, and imparted the
greatest interest to the character, as well in the music as
the acting; his joy at receiving the highly-prised elixir,
which he supposes will make the coquettish Adina re-
ciprocate his love, the lightness of heart with which he
determines no longer to fatigue her with his sighs, as on
the morrow she would adore him, and also his despair
when he supposes that she is about to sign the nuptial
contract before the charm has taken effect, were beauti-
fully expressed. His greatest triumph, however, was in
the aria, " Una furtiva lagrima," which was given with
the greatest feeling and taste, and which obtained an
unanimous and enthusiastic encore. Tamburini, as
Sergeant Belcour, was himself again. He has perfectly
recovered from the indisposition by which, on his
first arrival in this country, he was affected, and was in-
deed the Tainburini of former days. He looked the gay,
lively, and conceited soldier to perfection, and, whether
presenting the bouquet, making love, enlisting his rival
as a recruit, or bullying him when imploring Adina to
postpone her nuptials, he identified himselt perfectly
with his character, and received the plaudits which his
artistic performance in every respect so justly deserved.
We confess that we were agreeably surprised with
the Dulcamara of Revere. It was no slight undertaking
to attempt a part which ;the prince of buffo (La
blache) had made completely bis own. He must have
been well aware of the difficulties with which he hrri to
contend, but he nerved himself to the task, and acquitted
himself admirably. The part was better suited to him
than any in which ho has as yet appeared. In the
scenes with the credulous Nemorino, the self-satisfied
Belcore, and the love. sick Adios, his by-play was ad-
mirable. The well-known duets "Io son rreco" and
" Come sur va contento," with Madame Persiani, were
deservedly applauded. On the whole, his success was
complete. After the falling of the curtain Madame
Persiani Salvi. and Tarnbulini were called forward to
receive the plaudits of the audience. The third act of
I Puritani was announced, but owing to the illness of
Mario it was withdrawn, and a selection from the second
act of Semiramide was substituted. Grisi was in admi-
rablel
voice and gave the grand recitative f
the duo with 'Tamburini most beautifully. oi owed by

Terror and pity rule their varied hour,
Could blend together on one swellin:„ stage,

" Yes, leave with me the drama's festive pile,
Life's sternest contrast must be viewed awhile;
Come, all in gay or captious mood who sit
In these bright boxes—in that social pit—
Come where the surges break with sullen roar,
On Kerry's cliff, or Conemara's shore;
with ceaseless plaint the wild sea.guii
Come where
Floats o'er deep- eaverned Skye, or storm-beat Mull ;
Pass o'er bleak moor and uiorequentcd hill;
Pause on von unroofed cabin's noiseless sill;
See! on the rotting straw the pratratelllsll—
of his home, or champion of his clan ;
The fever dims his eye and draws his cheek:
Ills children mourn—they have not stroigth to shriek,
While the unmurmuring wife, who with tutu bite
The long privations of their failing store,
With her uneoilined infant at her side,
Has wasted near him—blesai'd him— kiss'd—and died.
Seek one more roof—l tell the naked truth—
The wife has lost the husband of her youth ;
Three blooming boys beside their father sleep,
Where the scant sods scarce hide each mouldering heap
She sees her last remaining floweret fade,
Tier withered hand no more can grasp the spade,
And she has tottered lonely forth, to crave
Alms—not for bread—but for her offspring's grave.
" We do not bid you wear a brow of gloom,
Or don the sable trappings of the tomb;
In meek contrition to the power Divine,
Britain of late has knelt at every shrine;
From every rank the generous aid has flown,
And caught its earliest impulse from the throne;
Nor pauses here—but lands and oceans o'er
Wafts the blest freight from far Columbia's shore
Then let the spirit's pulses still beat free,
For lettered musing, or for blameless glee;
But while ye taste each bounteous gilt of Heaven,
Give—and give much—and much to you be given."

" EPILOGUE.
AISO WRITTEN FOR TIIE OCCASION BY LADY DITEFEItIN,
" Friends! for such are ye, who have played friends' parts,
Whose bands have given kind earnest for your hearts,
Fain would I thank ye in their name, whose grief
Needs but to ask, and to obtain relief;
Who hailed ve brothers by the bond of wo,
And found no English heart that answered—' No.'
" But sad thoughts lie behind those grateful words,
And my hand shrinks from such deep-sounding chords,
Lest 1 should pass the limits of my part,
(To rouse the feelings, not to wring the heart).
1 would remind ye, that these hours of pleasure
Are not so wholly lost, as some you measure;
That kindly purposes, and motives right,
Hallow those moments of else vain delight;
And pleasure's garlands, when their bloom is fled,
Shall bear sweet fruits of mercy in its stead.
And ye, most gentle, inexperienced eyes,
That view real misery with a strange surprise,
That, lest in wonder, as its depth appears,
Still half incredulous, question thro' your tears;
As stars, that in appointed orbits move,
Far off, yet proceed, in their light or love,
To God's wide firmament their lustre yield,
Yet shed sweet influence on the peasant's field;
So your bright presence in these scenes to-night,
Shall On many a darkened hearth shall kindle light,
fall like sunshine on the unfilled soil,
Rouse the sad labourer to rewarded toil;
And glow like spring on Scotland's barren shore,
And the waste plains of Erin—green, no more.
.4 One word for us, whose pleasant labours find
Indulgent critics, generously blind,
Who blend together, in their kind applause,
The imperfect effort and its worthier cause.
Take our best wishes !—be your dreams to-night
By hopeful thoughts of happier days made bright;
May no sad image on your memories dwell,
But thanks and blessings breathed in this—Farewell."

THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF
./ &ELAND.
DUBLIN, MAY 12.—At eleven o'clock last night the fol-
lowing bulletin was issued:—
" Ilis ExCellency has gained considerable strength, and is
better this evening."
The bulletin issued this morning is less favourable:—
" The Lord-Lieutenant had a quiet night, but his strength
has not improved."
At three o'clock this afternoon the answer to inquiries
was, that " there was no material change in the state of his
Excellency."

ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE

(From the Correspondent of the Shipping Gazette.)
ABERDEEN, MAY 11.—On Sunday the town of Banff was
put ►nto a state of the utmost excitement in consequence of
an attempt upon his Lordship's life by a servant of the name
of Hammond, who was on the eve of being discharged. The
villain was ultimately overpoweied, and removed raider the
charge of the police. His Lordship has happily sustained
little or no personal injury.
