ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT-GARDEN.

There were two debtits, a new opera (new at least at
this theatre) and a new ballet, here on. Saturdicy
evening. The opera was Ernani, in which Made-
moiselle Steffanoni made her debut as the heroine. This
lady' possesses a 'soprano voice of sweet quality, great
flexibility, sufficient compass, and immense power. In
the carmine. "Ernani involami," she was particularly
successful, and in the trio of the fourth act her immense
power gave her an advantage, of which she well knew
how to avail herself. Her success was complete. Salvi's
Ernani, albeit scarcely so intense as the Ernani of Mo-
riani, was very beautiful, and Marini's Don Silva was
superb. The great feature of the evening, however, was
the Don Carlos of Mademoiselle Alboni. This part,
written for a baritone voice, was admirably
given' by the great contralto. The solo parts were de-
lightful, nothing could be better—and even in the con-
certed musio we scarcely missed the baritone part, so
exquisite was Alboni throughout. Her " making up"
was superb. She looked the Emperor, the conqueror of
Francis I. The new ballet was entitled L' Amour et la
Donee, and was produced for the debut of Mademoiselle
Plunkett, whose improvement since last season was
marked and manifest. She has formed her style upon
that of Carlotta Grisi, and certes she is the most worthy
of the disciples of the d4sse. Mademoiselle Baderna,
anottier promising danseuse also appeared in the same
ballet a d danced spas t 2 the air of" Ratanlan"(Jenny

A letter of the 27th, front Berlin says—" It is
rumoured that the Emperor of Russia has resolved to
place. here • very considerable sum of money—some
:accounts say 11,000,000 and others 15,000,000 silver
rubles. It is asserted that this loan will not be made to
the Prussian Government, but has been offered to the
King personally. The importance of this fact will not
escape any one who has followed the recent incidents of
our internal politics. It is not useless to add that a per-
sonal lean to the King is not a new thing; when the
extraordinary expenses occasioned by the state of
Europe in 1830 exhausted the Treasury, the King per-
sonally contracted a loan of 10,000,000 thalers. '
