DRURY LANE THEATRE.

Flotow's opera of Stradella, which has been recently
creating a furore in Germany, was produced, fQr the
first time, before an English audience, at this theatre,
on Saturday, Benedict having adapted the composition
of his countryman for the English stage. and to which Mr.
Bunn has written an English libretto. The story of Ales-
sandro Stradella, one of the most celebrated Neapolitan
musicians of the seventeenth century, has been recorded
by almost every writer of the history of music, and! is
doubtless known to most of our readers. To revive
this remembrancy of the incidents of the romantic ad
ventures which forms the groundwork of the plot of
the opera, it may be as well, perhaps, to quote Mr.
Bunn's own account of it as given in his preface to the
libretto. Speaking of Stradella, he says :
"Though not handsome, he was di,tinguished by the
symmetry of his form, and especially recommended by
the blandishment of his manners. Having been engaged
by a Venetian nobleman to instruct a young lady named
Hortensia (who, despite he r family rank, had submitted
to the stigma of being that nobleman's mistress), Stra-
della so fascinated his pupil, that what began in intrigue
ended in matrimony, and the lovers—once united—ft-d
immediately to Rome. They were tracked to that city
by two hired assassins, who overtook the fugitives in the
Church of St. Giovanni Laterano, and there determined
to carry their design into execution, at the conclusion of
the evening service, and under vantage of the shadow of
evening. While watching for a favourable moment they
heard Stradella sing, and were so subdued by the charm
of his voice as to confess the crime they had meditated,
and their determination to abandon it.

" The intended victims immediately retired to Turin,
where, while under the protection of the Duchess of
Savoy (regent at the time), Stradella received three
wounds in his breast, even in her very palace. They,
however, did not prove mortal ; but the revenge of his
enemy was untiring, for on Stradella retiring to Genoa,
where he was engaged to write an opera, the assassins
pursued the unfortunate musician to that city, rushed
into a chamber of his dwelling, and stabbed both the
lovers to the heart."
The author of the opera has not continued the ad.
venture to its tragical termination, but judiciously con-
cludes his drama with the confession and repentance of
the assassins, over whose "savage breasts" music had so
miraculously exercised her powers:—The cast was as
follows : Stradella, Mr. W. Harrison ; Bassi, the
Venetian nobleman, Mr. Weiss; Barbarino and Malvolio,
the two assassins, Messrs. Burdini and Stretton; and
Leonora, Miss Rainforth. After an overture of very
pleasing and somewhat original character, and which
proves that Flotow is a skilful musician, the curtain
rises, and discovers the exterior of the palazzo of
Bassi, by moonlight. In front of the palazzo are
Stradella and his friends, serenading the Lady
Leonora. The piece commences with a chorus
admirably executed by the singers. Then follows
a recitative and air, by Stradella, and then a
very pleasing serenade (not over excellently sung by
Harrison) and chorus, and then the lady appears in the
balcony. In this scene occurs by far the most beautiful
morgeau of the act, a Notturno, " Over hills through
valties wending," sung by Miss Rainforth and Harrison.
Miss Rainforth, who was in excellent voice, sang this as
she sang all the music which was allotted to her in the
opera, with exquisite taste and beauty. They are inter
rapted by a band of masquers (for it is carnival time)
singing a lively chorus, and "fiddling, fluting, dancing"
is the order of the night. They recognise Stradella,
agree to assist her in carrying off Leon()) a—the lovers
fly, and Bassi, who attempts to pursue them, is
hustled and jostled and laughed at by the masquers,
and at length compelled to re enter the palace.
enraged and disappointed. The scene of the second act
is Stradella's villa, near Rome, whither he has succeeded
in escaping with Leonora. The act opens with a de-
lightful aria, "Be witness to my young heart's dream-
ing," which was exquisitely given by Miss Rainforth;
then follows a quaint chorus of peasantry, with a bell
accompaniment, between the parts of which occurs a
duet between Stradella and Leonora. The two assas-
sins dispatched by Bassi to murder Stradella now enter,
and on these worthies rests what, for want of abetter term,
we must call the "comic boisterous" business of the opera.
They quarrel at first; but immediately they recognise
each other and become acquainted with the true stare
of affairs, they proceed in the most business-like
manner to devise a plan for the safe and speedy execu-
tion of the job which they have undertaken. Invited by
Stradella to share in the nuptial festivities, they drink
and make merry, and by way of contributing their
share towards the general amusement, sing a capital
drinking duet, "Fill to the brim of the bowl, the bowl,"
which was so admirably sung and acted that it elicited an
unanimous encore. Stradella sings a romance, "The
world with which our fate we link," descriptive of, and
apologetical of the life of a brigand; which, together with
his hospitality, so completely overcomes the savage
nature of the assassins that they forswear their pur-
pose, and Stradella is saved by the power of music.
This romance is a most effective composition, full of
beautiful melody, and the choral accompaniement
is :most artistically managed. It is certainly the gem
of the opera, and was deservedly encored. The third act
opens in the same villa, when it appears the assassins
have domiciled themselves with Stradella and Leonora.
The act opens with a beautiful song by Stradella—
"Oh Italy, my native Land," the melody of which is
peculiarly graceful. Bassi, however, soon arrives to in-
terrupt the domestic felicity of the villa. He seeks out
Barbarino and Malvolio, whose virtuous resolutions give
way before the sight of gold. They are themselves again,
and Stradella's doom is sealed. A fine terzetto occurs
in this part, which was very well given, and was encored.
Stradella enters, and the assassins prepare to win their
reward ; but again music triumphs. He has just com-
posed a hymn to the Virgin, and commences rehearsing
it. The assassins are spell-bound by his voice, and
at the conclusion they rush towards him, fall at his feet,
and dropping their daggers, confess their crime, and sue
for the pardon of their intended victim. Bassi, now
finding it is useless to contend against fate, steps forward
and gives his consent to the union of the lovers. The
scene changes to the front of St. Peter's, where a mag-
nificently harmonised, full, and massive chorus concludes
the opera, and saves it from the condemnation which
would have been its fate had it concluded with the
hymn to the virgin; for, strange to say, that what ought
to have been the gem of the opera, inasmuch as upon
the exquisite beauty of its music everything hinges, is,
without exception, the most tame composition of the
whole. Would it not be possible to recover the the
original
air composed by Stradella, and substitute thatouding
for
" Hymn to the Virgin ?" The concluding
chorus, however, carried the opera tri
through, and, albeit, there were a

ABRIVAL OF IBRAHIM PACHA.
PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY, Six P.M—This place has been in a
continued state of excitement during the last forty-eight
hours, owing to the anticipated arrival of his Highness the
Prince of Egypt, who was expected to land here at an early
hour yesterday morning, en route for the metropolis.
In consequence of information received by the naval and
military authorities here from the loreign-effice the neces-
sary preparations for the reception of the Pacha, in a man-
ner becoming his distinguished position and character, were
arranged on Wednesday evening, and so early as seven o'clock,
yesterday morning, the troops were ordered to be under arms,
and the several batteries to be manned.

The Mayor and Town Council, anxious not to be wanting
in their hospitality, also met at the Town Hall, and voted an
address of congratulation to his Highness, which it was ar-
ranged should be presented to the Prince at the first con-
venient moment after his arrival. The naval and military
authorities, as well as the " civilians," remained throughout
the whole of yesterday in anxious expectation of his
Highness's arrival, but they were doomed to be disap-
pointed ; and it was not until this morning at seven olock,
that the heavy booming of the guns on board the Canopus
ship-of•war, mooted at Spithead, proclaimed the fact
that the King of the French's royal yacht (the Cromer),
having on beard his Highness and suite, had hove in sight.
Mr. Brown, the second master attendant at the Dockyard,
had been out in the ipcho steam-tug during the whole of
yesterday awaiting the arrival of the Prince, but as theformer
did not reach Spithead as was expected, great uncertainty
was felt as to when she might arrive, and the Echo returned
into harbour. When the French yacht made Spithead this
morning, therefore, there was no pilot in attendance, and she
had to cast anchor in the roadstead until one could be sent
out, to her. Very little time was thus lost, however, and
before eight o'clock she was steadily steaming up the liar •
bout-, Ind r a salute from the Victory, the Excellent, and the
Platform Battery, the yards of the former ships being manned
and the Egyptian tag hoisted at the fore.
Immediately aft« r the Gomer had taken up her moorings,
the Commarier• in-Chief. Sir Charles Ogle, attended by Cap-
tains Pasco :mil Cnad, Mr. Haig, the Secretary, and Flag-
Lieutenant Morris, and accompanied by Sir Hercules Paken-
ham, the Military Commandant of the district, attended by
Colonel Daly and Captain Pakenham, put off in the Admiral's
barge for the purpose of proceeding on board to pay their re-
spects to the illustrious stranger.
On boarding the yacht, the party were conducted to the
state saloon, where they were very graciously received by
the Paella, ,:ho expressed through his interpreter the gra-
tification he expetienced in the marks of attention shown
him.

The Prince was attired in an Eastern costume, as were
the members of his suite respectively. His Highness had a
magnificent star on his left breast, and wore besides several
other orders.

Sir Charles Ogle invited his Highness to the Admiralty
House, and the Prince having very graciously accepted
the invitation, Sir Charles, accompanied by the other
officers, re-embarked in the Admiralty barge and returned to
prepare for the reception of his Highness.
Major Collingwood Dickson, the officer who, as stated
yesterday, had been appointed by the Foreign-office to at-
tend on the Prince during his sojourn in this country, pro-
ceeded on board the Gomer immediately after the Admiral
left, and was introduced to his Highness. The gallant
officer was received in a very flattering manner by the
Prince.

At half-past eight o'clock his Highness entered the
Gomer's barge, and proceeded to the King's Stairs, where
he was received by Sir Charles Ogle, Sir Hercules Paken-
ham, and the whole of the civil, naval, and military officers
of the dockyard.
A guard of honour, consisting of two companies of the
74th Highlanders, with band and colour, were stationed on
the wharf, and as his Highness passed along the platform,
the troops saluted in the usual manner, the band playing
the national anthem.

His Highness, accompanied by the members of his suite,
and attended by the whole of the officers above-named, pro-
ceeded across the dockyard to the Admiral's residence. On
entering the court-yard of which, the Admiral's private
band, which was stationed therein, struck up the Egyptian
national hymn. His Highness appeared much pleased with
this mark of respect.
After remaining the guest of the Admiral about half an
hour, his Highness entered Sir Charles Ogle's private car-
riage, and, accompanied by his suite in two other carriages,
proceeded to the George hotel, where apartments had been
previously engaged for the accommodatioryof the party.
At half-past ten o'clock, by appointment, the Mayor and
Town Council waited on his Highness for the purpose of
Dresenthig the address of congratulation above alluded to.
The deputation consisted of about thirty persons, among
whom we observed James Hoskins, Esq. (Mayor), attended
by Mr. John Howard (Town Clerk), and the Rev. J. P.
M'Ghee (the Mayor's chaplain), Aldermen Howard, Jones,
Thompson, &c. &c.

. -
The deputation having been ushered into the presence of
his Highness, the Town clerk read the address as follows:

"TO HIS HIGHNESS IBRAHIM PACHA.

"May it please your Highness—We the-Mayor, Alder-
men, and Burgesses of the ancient borough of Portsmouth,
the dutiful and loyal subjects of our most gracious Sovereign
Queen Victoria, embrace the earliest opportunity of tendering
to your Highness, in the name of our fellow-countrymen and
ourselves, our sincere congratulations on the occasion of
your Highness's visit to the shores of Great Britain. whilst
we feel peculiar gratification that your Highness has done us
the L nour of landing within the precincts of our ancient
municipality.
" Participating as we do with all her Majesty's subjects in
the esteem so universally felt towards your Highness for the
possession and cultivation of those liberal and enlightened
views which are alike calculated to elevate individual nations
and to benefit and bless mankind, we offer a. cordial wel-
come to a brave and distinguished Prince, the son of an
illustrious father, who has magnanimously afforded to this
country facilities for constant and uninterrupted communi-
cations with her Indian possessions.
" We earnestly hope that peaceful and commercial rela-
tions between Egypt and Great Britain will long continue
to be maintained, and that their mutual advantage, prospe-
rity, and happiness will thereby be promoted.
" In conclusion, we trust that health and happiness, and
the best b 1( ssic,:.43 of Divine Providence, may attend your
Highness, that, your Highness's visit to the dominions of
our beloved Sovereign will atord your Highness gratification
and pleasure, and be the means of increasing the kindly
feelings which now exist between the two countries.
" Given under our common seal this 4th day of June, in
the ninth year of her Majesty's reign."
Mr. Howard having finished reading the document, it
was translated to his Highness by the interpreter.
His Highness then, with considerable animation, ad-
dressed the deputation in his vernacular tongue, and at the
close of his observations, the interpreter, for the edification
of the deputation, rendered his remarks into the French
language. The following was the purport of his Highness's
reply to the address:—
" The Pacba.feels highly gratified that her Majesty has
deigned to take notice of him ; and his Highness begs to
thank the authorities of Portsmouth for this act of kindness
in presenting him with an address. With reference to
that portion of it which concerns the commercial intercourse
of this country with Egypt, the Pacha begs to assure you
that Egypt will always endeavour to facilitate in every way
the communication of thi3 country with their Eastern
possessions. For this purpose only his father has taken the
transit into his own hands. The Pacha will always regard
with peculiar interest the prosperity of England, and will
pray for the long life and, happiness of her Majesty. In
conclusion, the Pacha wishes to all of you health and
prosperity."

The deputation having retired from the Prince's presence,
his Highneis (as we understood very much fatigued) betook
himself to his private apartment, where he has remained
during the afternoon.

A military guard will be on duty at the hotel during his
Highness's sojourn therein.
It is expected that the Prince will inspect the fortifications
and dockyards to-morrow, and probably honour Sir Charles
Ogle with his company at dinner in the evening.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.
All who know anything of London amusements must have
he fact very strongly impressed upon their minds that "the
river" does all that in nature or reason could he expected of
it to foster the nautical tastes of those who live upon its
banks. Above Westminster-bridge we have those boat races,
to figure in which is one of the most earnest hopes of so
many of our youth, from the time when they were only Eton
and Westminster boys till they have expanded into Oxford
and Cambridge under-graduates. From Greenwich to
Gravesend the Royal Thames Yacht Club have their matches.
One of those matches, the seconu of the season, took place
on Friday, and certainly in this hot weather the sight of so
much white canvas:: tilled with wind and hurrying the little
desperate, rakish-lookieg
,models of ship-building so madly
through the water was quite refreshing. There was
no disturbing thought of poor fellows straining at their
oars, and gasping under their efforts, to spoil the pleasure of
the spectacles, ar:d each one watched the race with a com-
posure which cast no reflection on his humanity. The
yachts entered for the match were six in number—the Prima
Donna, of Colchester, the property of Mr. T. Harvey, who
was the builder ; the Ino, of London, Mr. H. Gibson,
owner, and Mr. Wallis, Blackwall, builder ; the Secret, of
London, Mr. W. Smith, owner, and Messrs. Wanhill and
Poole, builders ; the Vixen, of London, Mr. T. Neighing-
ton, owner and builder; the Fleur de Marie, of Folkestone.
Mr. T. Hodges, owner, and Messr,. Miller and Ravenhill,
Blackwell, builders; and the Belvidere, of London, Lord A.
Paget, owner, and Messsrs. Ditchburn and Mare, Blackwall,
builders. "rnis little experimental squadron was anchored
off Greenwich Hospital, waiting for the appointed time of
starting, their sails furled, and apparently with no intention
of shifting trona their moorings. At the sound of the first
gun, fired from the Star steamer, which carried Lord A.
Paget and the members of the Yacht Club, with their
friends, the men in each vessel clustered round the mast. A
short interval tollowed, during which one or two huge colliers
and skein tugs came floating down the river, and ob-
structed the passage, their bluff portly hulks and slovenly
appearance contrasting very oddly with the attenuated shape
and airy trig appearance of the little cutters. Then came
the second sigrlal gun from the Star, and up in an instant
flew the canvass, as if each vessel was some strange bird
shaking out her wings, and away they all went with a light_

twelve months. She had completed the distance

At 32 minutes past 6 o'clock the Belvidere reached the
starting-post; the Ino came next, at 24 minutes to 7 o'clock,
and the Prima Donna after her, at 21 minutes to 7 o'clock.
On the whole, the present match was deficient in the usual
interest which attaches to similar trials of sailing in
stormier weather ; but there is something in the effect of a
bright summer day spent " on the water," and in watching
the varying graces of half a dozen beautiful little vessels,
which sets any tendencies to be disposed completely at de-
fiance. The party on board the Star was all good humour
and gaiety, and enjoyment, we will add, bearing in mind,

as we do, the due attention paid to the steward's (Mr. G.
Gore's), excellent table in the cabin. The other steamer in
attendance on the match was also well filled with ladies and
gentlemen, who, no doubt, did ample justice to the occasion,
and entered with the true zest of fresh-water sailors into the
safe pleasures of a fresh-water cruise. There were several
yachts not entered for the challenge cup which attended the
race, and incrreased the interest, by perplexing the minds of
the spectators. There was also a good deal of gun firing
along the banks of the river, and we particularly noticed a
salute from the residence of Mr. Hughes, a member of the
club, near Woolwich. It was done with the regularity of
artillery practice. The Marquis of Anglesey was out in his
yacht, the Pearl, to see the result of the match.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH' JUNE s.—The Lightning steam-yacht, Mas-
ter Commander Petley, has been placed at the disposal of the
Prince of Egypt during his sojourn at this port. Mr. Petley
was presented to his Highness this morning, at the George
Hotel, by Major Dickson, R.A., appointed Equerry in Wait-
ing to his Royal Highness.
The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander W.
Pretyman, left last evening for Devonport, with supernume-
raries. She put on board the Canopus, at Spifhead, a detach-
ment of marines, which arrived yesterday afternoon, per rail,
from Chatham.
The Polyphemus steam-sloop, 'Commander M'Cleverty,
left last night for Lisbon with dispatches.
The Eurydice, 26, Captain George Elliott, is progressing
very rapidly in her fittings for sea, and has nearly obtained
her complement. Much jealousy has been exhibited by the
tt craft" at Captain Elliott's recommissioning this ship, but
as he did not serve his time out in her by nearly six months,
his re-appointment to her was only a usual thing and a bare
act of justice; but an act of gross injustice both to Captain
Elliott, and the gallant admiral his father, has by the same
board been perpetrated within the last few days, which a
press of other matter has compelled us to defer mentioning
until the present moment. It is well known the Eurydice
and Spartan (new fitting at Devonport), both 26 guns, the
former built on the design of Admiral Elliott, and the atter
by Sir William Symonds, are to compete in sailing, Sce-F
when ready. The Eurydice was professedly built to try an
experiment of great importance, viz., if a lighter draught
of water cannot be obtained for ships of war with the same
sailing advantages. Now the Spartan has been newly cop-
pered, not so the Eurydice, although the necessity for it
exists in as great a degree as it the other case. Thus the
Spartan will have a very manifest and important advantage
over her competitor.
Two of Mr. Rolt's excavators, employed in the new steam
basin, having incautiously undermined a considerable body
of earth, it gave way and buried them yesterday afternoon.
A number of men were immediately set to work to dig them
out, but some time elapsed before they could be extricated.
Both were much hurt, but one so seriously that he was taken
to Hasler Hospital. He was reported to-day to be dead.
SHEERNESS, JUNE s.—There are but few arrivals or sail-
ings to report as having occurred (luring the past week. The
Fearless steamer brought Captain Brandreth, Royal En-
gineers, director of architectural and engineering works, on
a visit to the Dockyard on Tuesday, and returned with him
to Chatham the same evening.
The Polyphemus steam -sloop, Commander James J.
M'Cleverty, arrived from Woolwich on Wednesday, and
having taken on board a few supernumeraries from the ag
ship, sailed the same day for Portsmouth.
The Dido, 20, Captain J. B. Maxwell, progresses favour-
ably with her equipment and manning. She has her top-
masts fitted, the main on a principle of Commander Le-
febvres for trial.

The Boscawen, 70, was towed down from her moorings at
Standgate-creek, on Tuesday, to be re-caulked and painted.
The Havannah, 20, razee, is not to be commissioned at
present. She is having her tops covered to protect them
from the weather, and will be discharged into ordinary, as
an advance ship, in a few days.
The following vessels occupy the Basin :—Howe, 120,
under repair; Conquestador and Worcester, 50-gun frigates,
and Havannab, 20, fitting as advanced ships; and Dido, 20,
fitting for sea.
In Dock—Chichester, 50; Horatio, 44; Dragon steal"

opposite the Dockyard-gate is now being proceeded with'
The musketry walls connecting it to the old works of Gar'

relieved detachments of the 28th and 78th Regiments, which
returned to Chatham, under Captain Tobin of the 11th Regi-
ment, the same day.

SUDDEN DEATH FROM EXCITEMENT.—On Friday

DISTANT VIEW OF ROME.—When we were fairly Off
again, we began, in a perfect fever, to strain our eyes fot
_i
Rome; and when, after another mile or two, the Eterne''
City appeared at length in the distance, it looked like—l 10
half afraid to write the word—like London ! There it MP
under a thick cloud, with innumerable towers and steeples'
and roofs of houses, rising up into the sky, and, high 000

BLIGHT OF FRUIT.—We are sorry to bear that not-
BLIGHT
the delightful summer weather we have haead
of late, a very general blight of fruit has appeared, cT ht
sioned, it is believed, by the cold winds and sickly n
..foi-
dews which prevailed fJr a short time in the early Pa"
May. In some gardens most of the stone fruit is gone, the
leaves of the trees being shrivelled up the
currants covered with ~
sects. Apples and pears have escaped the blight, but 1`"
currants are greatly damaged.—Cambridge Chronicle.

cording to the Augsbui g Gazette the number of pseseffing
arriving by the East India steamers at Suez, and embes

REMARKABLE CURE.—A rich farmer, labouring
under hypochondriasis, was persuaded by his friends that 11
was bewitched. He accordingly consulted a physician, linu
gravely informed him that he had seven devils in his body.
" Only seven ?" " No, Sir, only seven." The PhY.siejans
perceiving the mental condition of his patient, promised to
cure him in seven days, and drive out a devil every morn-
ing for 20 francs a piece. The farmer consented, end re-
ceived a powerful shock from an electric ap I:l43parel
" There's one gone," exclaimed the physician. The the
day the same plan was adopted, and so continued until
seven days were elapsed, when the bewitched patient de-
clared himself cured, and willingly paid the fee, which WO

immediately bestowed in charity. -

MAGAZIN ES-(C0 TINUED.)

COLBURIV'S CIAI7ED SERVICE.

The contents of tivi present number are of a more
varied character than usual. We have, under the title
of " Marvels of Marine Natural History," an amusing
paper on krakens and other apocryphal monsters of the
deep ; and under that of " A Tale of the Sea," a tale of
horrors .‘ to make the blood run cold." Captain Dove-
ton gives us a spirited sketch of adventures in thuthern
India and "The Reminiscences of the War of Succes-
sion in Portugal." The " Memoirs of an Old Sailor," and
" History of the Rob Roy of the West," are continued.
There are several other papers of interest to the general
reader in this number, besides the numerous valuable
articles on professional subjects, which are always to be
found in this Magazine. The present number of the
United Service is excellent.
