HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Coletti, the greatest of baritones, made his
debut for the season at her Majesty's Theatre on Satur-
day evening, in the character of Nino. The public
owed him an omende honorable for the manner in which
it had tamely suffered hini to be victimised by an un-
principled clique some four years since. (The disgraceful
Tarnburini row will be fresh in the recollection of our
readers.) That amende was made on Saturday evening.
It is seldom that so much enthusiasm is exhibiteel within
the precincts of this Theatre as that with which the
appearance of Coletti was hailed, and the applause was
richly deserved—a great actor, a great singer, and a
handsome man, he was the very Nino of the
author. His voice, of immense power, great flexibility,
and of fine quality, is completely undo r command.
His taste is exquisite, and he is an accomplished musi.
cian. Sanchieli, who was the Abigail, is greatly im-
proved since last session—as powerful, as energetic as
ever—her rower and her energy are more completely
under command, and that detect of intonation which
last season marred some of her most meritorious efforts,
has disappeared. Mademoiselle Fuggiani, Asher appeared
in the part of Fenana, is a great improvement upon Ma-
demoiselle Corbari. The choruses were magnificeetly
given. Full justice is now done to the choral music of
Verdi. Those who have only heard the old chorus
under the inspirations of the Maestro can form but a
faint idea of the beauties of his choral music. The or-
chestral effects, too, were splendidly brought out ; there
was none of that "jangling and jarring" which, from
whatever cause, was, last season, sometina, s painfully
apparent in the orchestra, but all went har-
moniously. When it is considered that the
present is almost entirely a new band, it must
be admitted that Balte has performed wonders.
His orchestra need not shrink from a comparison with
I any in the world. The new ballet of Coralio concluded
the evening's entertainments. The house was crowded in
every part.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge,
accompanied. by Prince Frederick of Heise, and attended
by the Baroness Hammerstein, the Baron Knesebeck,
and Mr. Edmund St. John Mildmay, honoured the
performances at this theatre on Saturday evening with
her presence. There were also present his Grace the
Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Ailesbury, the
Marquis of Donegal, the Marchioness of Douro, his
Excellency the Russian Minister and the Baroness
Brunow, and Mademoiselle Olga de Lechner, the Eail
of Lonsdale, the Earl of Granville, the Viscount Can-
talupe, the Earl of Munster, the Viscount Morpeth, the
Hon. William Ashley (who occupied her Majesty the
Queen Dowager's box), Lord Ernest Bruce, Lord Mac-
donald, Lord Gardner, Lord Sandys, Sir William and
Lady Freemantle, Lady Curtis, Lady Grant, Sir George
and Lady Carroll, Lady Smyth, Lord Suffield, Lord

MISS CLARA SEYTON'S ENTER-

TAINMENTS AT MISS PALMER'S SOIREE.

Miss Clara Seyton gave her entertainment on " Eng-
lish Comic Opera at Miss Palraer's scientific and musical
soirée last week. These soirees are most delightful re-
unions, combining the attractions of a private social
party with those of public entertainment. They com-
mence at eight o'clock, and some two hundred
ladies and gentlemen are assembled in a drawing-
room. There is music, singing, and then a lecture.
on some scientific or artistical subject. The lecture on
Wednesday last was delivered by Miss Clara Seyton,
the subject English comic opera. Never did Miss Clara
Seyton appear to greater advantage ; she was full of
spirit and humour, was in excellent voice, and was much
and deservedly applauded, and as the soiree partakes of
the nature of a private reunion, the audience were at-
terwards afforded the gratification of paying their indi-
vidual compliments to the great talents which had been
so successfully exerted for their gratification.
