THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.
M. Juilien is proceeding in his career as manager
of this national establishment in a manner which
leaves nothing to be desired. He last night pro-
duced a most successful English opera—English in
every sense of the word ; the story is English, the
composer is English, the author of the libretto is
English, and every artiste employed in bringing it
before the public is English, and, as old supporters
of the English school of operatic music, right glad
are we to say that the Maid of llonour, the opera
produced here last night, composed by Mr. Balfe,
written by Mr. Fitzball, and in which the characters
were sustained by Miss Birch, Miss Miran (a
fine contralto, who made her first appearance last
evening), Mrs. Weiss (better known as Miss Barrett),
Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Whitworth, and Mr. Weiss,
need not fear a comparison with any other opera that
has been produced at any theatre in Europe of late
years. The plot will be in the recollection of the
greater number of our readers, inasmuch as it is pre-
cisely similar to that of the ballet entitled Henrietta,
or The Statute Fair, which was produced here some
years ago (the only difference being that the scene is
laid in the days of Queen Elizabeth, instead of in
those of Queen Anne). Miss Birch, who ap-
peared for the first time on the English
stage, was the Lady Henrietta, and she perfectly
astonished us. As a singer we felt assured that she
would be all that could he &sired, but we feared
that as an actress she would prove inanimate and
tame. On the contrary, she is as great as an actress
as she is as a singer. She was espiegle, animated,
spirited—the very Lady Henrietta of the story, and sung
in the most delicious manner imaginable. The part of
her companion, Lady Alison, was admirably sustained
by Miss Miran, whose rich contralto tells with im-
mense effect in the duet in the third act (supposed to
be sung between Orpheus and Eurydice in the masque
scene). Miss Miran is a great acquisition to the
Drury corps. Mr. Sims Reeves has in this opera
completely vindicated his right to be considered the
first of English tenors. In Edgardo he proved that
in the execution of Italian music he was without a
competitor on the English stage. In the Maid of
Honour he has shown that he can beat the English
ballad singers on their own ground. Nothing could
exceed the beauty, the pathos, and the effect with
which he gave the exquisite ballad "In this old
chair my father sat," which occurs in the third act,
and which is one of the most delightful melodies that
Belle has ever composed. Indeed this opera is
replete with gems of melody, nothing can be
snore beautiful for instance then the exquisite ballad
" The Red Cross Knight," which was deliciously
given by Miss Birch. In a fortnight this ballad will
be found on every pianoforte in the United Kingdom.
It will be the song of the season. The music of this
opera is perhaps the most dramatic that Balfe has
ever composed. The music of the whole scene of
the statute fair is superior to that of any modern
composer, native or foreign. It is spirited, de-
scriptive, and full of fun. Why does not
Balte give us a genuine Opera Buffa ? The
opera was completely and deservedly successful, and
at the conclusion all the artistes, together with Balfe
and M. Junin, were called before the curtain. The
house was crowded.
Among the fashionables present we observed the
Earl of Durham, Viscount Castlereagh, Lord Char-
leville, Lord -Ward, Lord Henry Gordon Lennox,
Lord Dudley Stuart, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Lady
Lake, Lady Antrobus, and the Misses Antrobus, Sir
W. and Lady de Bathe, Sir John Macdonald, Right
Hon. Fox Maule, Hon. Mr. Astley, Hon, Mr. Grey,
Miss Burdett Coutt and party, &c.

ADELPHI THEATRE.
A new grand magical spectacle, entitled The Pearl
of the Ocean; or the Prince and the .31ermaiden, was
produced here last night with the most complete
and the most deserved success. For grandeur and
magnificence of spectacle, of costume, and of scenery,
it surpasses anything of the kind that has hitherto
been produced at the Adelphi, and is just the sort of
thing to take children to see at this holiday season of
the year. It must become unboundedly popular, and
e give clue " notice to parents and guardians," that
their chi! dren and wards will teaze and teaze until
they have been taken to see The Pearl of the Ocean,
which to Webster will most assuredly prove not only
a pearl
iof price, but a pearl of value. The fol-
lowing s the plot of this superb dramatic romance
piece opens with a series of dissolving views, in
which the story is told. Coralie, a beautiful mer-
maid, has saved the life of a Prince of the Pearl
Islands on the night of a great storm, when his ship
was wrecked, and having carried him to the shore
near a convent, leaves him in the care of a nun, who
had discovered him lying exhausted on the beach.
In the first scene of the drama we have a fairy cave
in the Pearl Islands, in which Mr. Wright makes his
appearance, and relates a wonderful story of his being
caught by a mermaid ; Grimgrovvlino, an old pearl
diver, follows suit with a stronger yarn, and the
scene closes with Mr. Wright's taking a dive to make
his fortune by bringing up some of the treasures
from the Sea King's palace. In the next scene,
which is at the bottom of the sea, Madame Celeste
appears as the mermaiden, with the usual appurte-
nances of a fish's tail, looking-glass, golden locks,
&c. This scene is very beautiful, and capitally
managed—the working of the waters, and the appear-
ance of Madame Celeste and her five sisters most
beautiful and picturesque. Coralie having dis-
covered that the Witch of the Whirlpool
has power to deprive her of her tail, and
permit her to go on earth, determines to pay her a
visit She accordingly proceeds to her abode, and,
after a Freischutzian incantation, finds herself e on her
legs," executes a grand scene of pantomime, and as-
cends to the earth—so ends the first act. The second
act commences with the appearance of the Prince
(Miss Woolgar), who sings a very charming song by
Auber ; the mermaiden then rises from the sea, and
has an affecting interview with him ; but being for-
bidden by her compact with the Witch to inform him
that it was she who saved his life, he remains in igno-
rance that he is indebted to her. The Ambassador
from the Khan of Circassia next appears, and offers
his master's daughter to the Prince for his bride. TllB,
Prince consents to accompany him to Circassia, 595
departs with his Court, and accompanied by Coralie
disguised as a Greek nobleman. The next scene 15
in Circassia, and discovers the Khan and his Court
waiting the arrival of the Prince. A golden galled
soon appears, bearing the Prince and his suite,ean
the scene conclndes by the Prince discovering
in the Khan's daughter the nun who (as 11.6
believes) saved his life. Coralie, in desplor9
is about to throw herself into the sea, 89
the act drop falls. Act 3d. A kiosk and garden
of the Khan's palace. Coralie sends the Pearl
Diver to intercede with the Witch of the Whirlpool.
The next; scene is a grand hall in the palace, with the
wedding fete; it is opened with an Arab dance, after
which _Madame Celeste appears at the head of a corps
of Amazons, all clad in complete suits of steel armour
—the armour is most beautiful and costly, Wing,
been manufactured expressly in Paris. Coralie an
the Amazons carry off the Princess. The next scene
a grar.d fight takes place. A basaltic cavern is the
next scene, where Coralie and the Princess have an
explanation, which is by no means satisfactory to the
former. The Witch of the Whirlpool then appeBrs'
and urges Coralie to assassinate the Princess, as her
only chance of winning the Prince. Coralie, worked
on by the Witch, consents, and leaves the stage det.er•
mined "to revel in blood ;" but her resolution being
very weak, she breaks it in the next scene, and spares
her intended victim. The last scene shows the Khan
and the Prince and Court, waiting for the bride, Iv"
at length appears in the person of Coralie, the Princesss
having, with most unfeminine generosity, resigned
her claim. The 'Witch of the 'Whirlpool then appears'
and after stating that all was but a trial of the Trier_
maiden's heart and constancy, invites the party ?
grand fete at the bottom of the sea. A grand magtif_a_l
transformation then takes place, and all
ends happily. Great alterations have been
_rn
behind the curtain to enable this piece to be produced.
A room quite as large as the stage has been. built ahe,
joining to and communicating with it by wide arc
2..
of cotTber,
so that a large galley can make its progress 111.1_1
directions, and then be completely hidden. =1:11:
improvement is what Frederick Yates was slyly
.
striving for, and Mr. Webster has only been enab
to carry it into effect by his purchase of the gro
in Bull Inn-court, where some time since a number
of houses were burnt down. The whole building,
extensive as it is, has been constructed with extraor-
dinary rapidity in a little more than fourteen days.

EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE AT DERBY. —On
Tuesday last the conference of Nonconformist ministers
and delegates connected with the congregational union
was held in the school-room connected with Victoria-
street Chapel. A large number of ministers and laymen
attended ; 1)r. Hamilton occupied the chair. The great
object of the conference was to devise practical measures
for the promotion of religious and secular education,
upon the voluntary principle. The Rev. J. Fletcher, of
this town, detailed a self-sustaining plan of operation,
by which, in his opinion, 43,0001., by, small weekly con-
tributions, might be annually raised in their congreggt
tions in support of the system. The plan was Inns
admired, and elicited the warmest expressions of apPlyi
bation. A series of resolutions, embodying a plan al
education, exclusive of Government aid, were propose!.
in excellent speeches by various gentlemen, and adopts The conference was concluded on Wednesday, and 11:,
the evening a crowded public meeting was held it' the
chapel, H. Forbes, Esq., in the chair. Excellent a. _
dresses, in support of resolutions for carrying out thi:
objects of the conference, were delivered by the eh►l.,.
