TALIAW OPERAS.—The representation of the Italian
Operas out of London, a feature peculiar to the liberal anti
enlightened direction of our Theatre, and while we ofnr, in
common with a delighted auditory, our expressions of gratitude
for the splendid treat thus afforded, we cannot but couple it
with our surprise and admiration of the rood(eisntiwng uhleilethc4l as
it has
been prepared and presented. The talents dl

Signor and 3ladatne Rorizi Dn Maras, have, in the proof,

By letters just received in town, we learn
that Mr. PEARMAN, lute of Covent-Garden
Theatre, arrived in America on the e.(.1 of No-
vember, after a passage of 34 d"ys) by the ship
Canada. It will be remembered, shut the wife
of this favourite singer was thrown from a gig, in
Tottenharn-court-road, in April last, by which
accident she received so dreadful a compound
dislocation'in her left leg, as to leave no hope of
saving life but by amputation. We are happy)
however, to state, that through the unremitting
attention of Mr. BcaTIN, Of nertlCT-street, OX-
ford-street,she is now in a fair way of recovery.
