HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

He who would attempt once more to criticise La
Fiylia del Reggimento, performed on Saturday, would
most probably but reiterate what he said before. Mdlle.
Lind, however, does not " repeat herself ;" transient as
the changes are with which she varies the music, the
dramatic interpretation, and the fioritute, they are con-
stant and palpable to every constant observer, and the
impression they produce on the audience most striking.
Hence does it ari=e that an hour before the theatre
opens, at this advanced season of the year, we behold
a crowd of expectant auditors stretching across the
street. On Saturday particularly the concourse was
immense. Such a state of things, on the -12th of
August, is unprecedented in the annals of the opera,
the scene of excitement being. a curiosity in itself
most interesting to witness. The smallest and best
portion of Online, with the Pas de Ware, was re-
vived for the triumph of Cerito ; whilst, for that of
Rosati, the Pas de Thies was given between the acts of
the opera. Thus was the quintessence, of amusement
offered to the audience, and all was over at half-pest 11 ;
whilst formerly to fill the House, in the best of times, it
was necessary to superadd opera to opera, divertissement
to ballet, forming an endless and heavy bill of fare,
which surfeited and tired out all persons of taste. The
troupe of her Majesty's Theatre will be dispersed in a
few days. Lablaclie goes to the Festival!, Gardoni and
Coletti to St. Petersburgh, where they aro engaged fur
