THE THEATRES.
DRURY-LANE.

Last evening Halevy's comic opera, Les Mousquetaires de
la Heine, was produced by the Brussels company. The music
is light and agreeable, although not very striking, and is
what much of Halevy's music is not—dramatic. The plot
is taken from the well-known. tale by Alexander Dumas.
The opera was well but not enthusiastically received.
