MADLI.E. RACHEL'S BEN-E 10",
Last evening this e..lcbrated French actre. s took ifier-
benefit at the Italian Opera. house, and performed •
the last time this season in England. Tho house Os'
crowded to excess. The tragedy of Marie Stuar,t',lS
M. Lebrun, was selected or the occasion, and
well it was performed. We will not enter into the met" e
of the piece, because almost every part of it is ~t vsrtwi
with historical facts ; and no person acquait. ted
English history could see it performed withon% fee' s,
great regret that such a fine subject should have been.
spoiled by the most incongruous and absurd _
ventions. 'Mademoiselle Rachel represented tha te
fated Queen of Scotland. Madame Irma 1417°r •
represented Queen Elizabeth, and M. Laporte perforvTeit
the part of Sir Amiss Paulet. These parts were an
performed. Madame Laporte is an excellent aotr,-.,
and was surpassed only by the representative Of )-1"
Stuart. M. Delholme (Sir Andrew Melville) =tls('
serves great wise for the correct mariner in which 'n
represented the GA and faithful counsellor of the Que.e,,
of the Scots. The tragedy altogether had amplt:ls6Td
done to it, and the on:— regret is that Madame Rach'l:'.,
not select for her beariiv.-ome of the fine old works of k.°-
neille or Voltaire, in which historical facts and pow thg
ful description are combined. The applause (luring
performance was nc enthusiastic, but this is to be atto_.
buted to the defects of :he piece, and not to the performersd
At the fall of the curtain itladame Rachel was loadlY calle

able arrangement at this theatre for the convenienca,e
the public in general, and particularly for ladies. I_ll.
