DRUR Y-LANE T HEATRE.
An original opera buffs in two acts (so described in
,;he hills), the music by G. A. Macfarren, entitled Don
Quixote, was produced here last eve )ing, and if the
applause of a first night audience is to be taken as a
final judgment, thea is the opera of Don Quixote among
the most successful ever produced. The libretto is b
Mr. G. Macfarrea, the father of the composer of they
music; and theportion of the adventures of the Knight of
La Mancha chosen for musical illustration is the adven-
ture of Cumacho the Rich and Basilius the Poor, the
rival suitors for the hand of the fair Quiteria. The
opera opens with a serenade by Cum who (Mr. D. W.
King) and his companions, under the window of the
fair Quiteria (Miss Rainforth). The serenaders are in-
terrupted by the arrival of Don Quixote (Mr. Weiss)
and Sancho (Mr. Strctton), who are received in a
friendly manner, and conducted into the house to par-
take of the hospitalities of the rich Cumacho. Basilius
the Poor (Mr. Allen) then enters, and gives vent to his
feelings in a ballad, " Sweet were those hours of
infancy," which was sung with such exquisite taste
and beauty by Allen as to elicit a loud encore ; the
compliment being paid evidently rather to the singer
than to the composer. Quiteria appears in the balcony,
and then follows, of course, a duet for the tenor and the
soprano, which was delightfully given by Allen and
i.liss Rainforth. Don Quixote, followed by Sancho, enters
and interrupts the lovers, and a long concerted piece
follows, in which Basilius appears on the balcony dis-
guised as a lady, claiming the protection of the Don, and
in which Allen imitating the voice of a woman, sings a
romance entitled " Alas! a thousand secret woes," in
the most admirable mock-heroic style imaginable. This
romance, which is in itself a very pretty composition,
was loudly encored. The Don, mounting a ladder to
kiss the hand of the lady, is suddenly seized and lashed
to the balcony. Sancho, who gives an alarm, is ducked
in a water-trough, and the drop falls on a most admired
scene of confusion. In the second act we find
the father of Quiteria, remonstrating with her on
her injudicious affection for Basilius the Poor, and urging
her to marry Cumacho the Rich. In this scene we have
the gem of the oera, the song by Miss Rainforth, " Ah !
why do we love," a beautiful song, and not one whit the
less welcome from reminding us of a beautiful old ballad,
with a nearly similar title. A good imitation it better
than a bad original at any time. Then we have what in
the libretto is styled a "triumph scene," in honour of
Don Quixote. In this scene there is introduced a
laughing chorus, at the expense of the ducked Sancho.
There is a very similar chorus in the first act of
Der Freischutz, and if Weber fisurished twenty
years before Mr. G. A. Macfarren, certainly
that is not the fault of the English composer.
Then we have a grand concerted finale, in which is in-
troduced a dance and a procession in honour of Cuma •
cho's wedding, and in which Don Quixote, aided by
the chorus, sings a jolly Anacreontic, beginning—
" When Bacchus invented the Bowl,"—(we were not
before aware that Don Quixote was in the habit of in-
dulging in songs of the "Jolly Nose" school)—and in
which Allen. as Basilius, sings a delicious ballad, en-
titled " I quit my pillow," in such an exquisitely pa-
thetic, plaintive style, and in which he exhibits such
taste, such execution, and (strange as it may seem)
such power, as would be alone sufficient to save a much
worse opera than this of Don Quixote. There is not
an English tenor singer living who could approach
Allen in his execution of this song. He is, at the pre-
sent moment, far and away the first English tenor
singer of the day. The plot of the tale is carried out in
the opera. Basilius pretends to be dying, receives the
hand of Quiteria, immediately recovers, and, by the
intervention of Quixote, all are reconciled. The opera
has been placed on the stage in admirable style, the
singers did all that artists could for it, and the orchestra
performed its part admirably. Mr. Macfarren has
nothing to complain of as to the manner in which his
opera was presented to the public. New, with regard
to the opera itself, it is the work of an accomplished
musician—of one who has thoroughly studied and
thoroughly understands his art—of one who has learned
all that can be taught—but who does not possess that
which cannot be taught, genius. The overture, con-
sidered as a musical academic 11 exercise, is faultless, but
it is also meaningless; and if the music of the opera
is more expressive than that of the overture, it is be-
cause Mr. Macfarren trusts less to his own resources.

sni borrows largely from his prAe2essors. This opera
is a prettily arranged rechaupe of reminiscences, and
will, no doubt, have a run, but we must demur to Mr.
Miclarren's claim to be considered as unoriginal English
composer.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Harlequin, 16,
un-
dergone a thorough overhaul and refit, almost amounting to
a reconstruction, was commissioned here this morning. Corn-
' "ininder Douglas Curry (1840), of the Coast Guard, is ap-
t pahtedlt6, her. This gallant officer was midshipman of the
Rost at Navalino, where he was wounded, and was'promoted
forthisaervices when Senior Lieutenant of the Pique, at the
._. taking of the towns of Caiffa and Tsour, and subsequently the
-,caPrrlTVcir)fankreSejiera,nl6 d'Acre in 1840.
, lately employed on the China station,
`Miring undergone a thorough overhaul and refit at this port,
was also put in commission this morning by. the appointment
to her 'orCommander Philip H. Somerville (1842).
The above vessels 'ale each to have complements of 180
men and officers, but what stations they are to be employed
"upon the Admiralty-have not made known.
'y
ahe Retribution steam-frigate, CiPtitin Luihington, hav-
ing returned her, paddle-box boats to the dockyard on ac-
count of their great weight, will not have any more paddle-
box boats fitted, and the paddle-box. is accordingly already
built up in the usual way, it being apparent that the vessel
can carry conveniently as many boats as are, necessary on
board and upon her quarters, without encumbering herself
with such frightfully heavy appurtenances as those she has
just cast off The removal of the paddle-box boats has
given this fine vessel a much more sightly and tight appear-
ance, and we have no doubt will ease her very materially in
sea-going.
TUESDAY.—Rear-Admiral W.Bowles, C.B-.,-on.e. of the Lords
of the Admiralty, visited this port yesterday, and-inspected the
various ships and Forks in progress, andan.ithe afternoon
witnessed from the Excellent the process of deatroYing a boom
with gunpowder. His Lordship, together with 'other mem-
bers of the board, will visit the port officially in a few days.
The Monkey steam-vessel, Master Commandant W. Bryant,
which arrived on Sunday with a new 'funnel (the old one
having been knocked away), to be fired 'at—from the Excel-
lent, is taking in stores, &c., for the eastesrn depOts;
The Harlequin, 16, Commander Curry • was taken under
the shears and masted this morning.
'-'.
The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain LaP idge came into
harbour this afternoon to refit, prior to
returning to the River
Plate.
. . ,
The Dauntless and Arrogant frigates, on, the designs re-
spectively of Mr. White, of Cowes, and , Mr. .Fincham,
master shipwright of this establishment, are progressing
very rapidly towards readiness for launching; their timber-
ing is finished, and their ceiling and planking nearly so. The
Dauntless (Mr. Fincham's design) is intended to be strictly
a steam frigate, but the Arrogant will only have steam as ah
auxiliary to work a screw. We have already given the
dimensions of the Dauntless. The.following are the prin-
cipal dimensions of the Arrogant : • .

Feet. Inches.
Length between the perpendiculars; 2OO 0
Length of keel for tonnage ' 175 0
Breadth extreme 45 4
Breadth m0u1ded........
Depth of hold
Burden in tons, 1,800; horse power for screw, 300.
This fine ship appears to be in the most forward state of
the two, and presents a boldness of outline very much ad-
mired by all who have seen her, since she-has been planked.
She presents a very_ handsome-looking model, and Is ex-
pected to prove a perfect man• of-war, but this remains to be
seen.

The Dasher steam-vessel, Commander Sherringham, is
preparing to resume her survey of the Solent, &c.
The Scourge steam bomb-vessel; Commander earn'', has
not yet completed coaling, and is now silongside the jetty.
The Cygnet brigantine, Commander Layton, crrived at
St. Helena from Benguela on Christmas-day. She had cap-
tured a slaver with 360 slaves on board, which she brought
in with her.

PROMOTION OF MATES.
Mr. John Milbourne Jackson was promoted.on Saturday
to the rank of lieutenant.. This officer is the' son of an old
post captain, who died from the effects of service in the West
Indies. He passed in 1840, and was second in the examina-
tion at the Royal Naval College, for the lieutenant's commis-
sion. He served 18 months on the coast of Africa, and is
now gunnery mate of the Daphne, 20, at New Zealand.
Mr. Philip Hudson (1840), of the St. Vincent, has been
promoted to the rank of lieutenant. He served for a long
period on the coast of Africa, and obtained strong recom-
mendations and certificates from the officers under whom he
served. He came home in the Heroine brig.
Mr. Henry George Simpson (1843) has been promoted
from the Excellent gunnery ship, to the rank of lieutenant
He was in the Princess Charlotte, flag ship, in the operations
on the coast of Syria, and at the bombardment of Acre, and
subsequently as mate of the Harlequin sloop, Capt. the Hon.
G. F. Hastings, served in her boats against the pirates on
the coast of Sumatra, and after Lieuteant (now Commander)
Chads was severely wounded he took the command of the
pinnace. His excellent conduct on this and other occasions
obtained the strongest approbation of Captain Hastings,
and he was reported to the Admiralty as an officer of much
promise.

SHELL PRACTICE AT PORTSMOUTH.—The following
is the result of the firing from the Excellent gunnery ship
at Portsmouth, under the command of Captain Chads, on
the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th ult., at 600 yards' range, the
object aimed at being a construction 10 feet broad by 8 feet
high, to represent the aide of a ship, and 22 inches in thick-
ness of the timbers. The sides were 14 feet apart, and se-
cured by timbers 4 inches thick. The guns used were long
and short circumflex 32 pounders and a 82-pounder caro-
nade. The charges of powder were 10Ib., 81b., 51b., and
21b. 10oz.

Marcus, aylor, and Co., on a charge of forgery. been conducted before the ma-
gistrates in privacy, but the facts of the case are understood
to be that the name of Darnton Lupton, Esq., late Mayor of
Leeds, had been attached to a transfer of some London and
Croydon Railway shares to
his knowledge, the attesta-
tion to the signature being by Mr. Marcus. On apprehend-
ing Mr. Marcus, we hear that he made a desperate attempt
at self-destruction, and it was only by the activity of Mr.
Read, of the police force, who dashed the bottle of laudanum
in pieces, which the unhappy man had just raised to his lips,
that the attempt was frustrated. Mr. Read's hand and Mr.
Marcus's face were both cut in the struggle.
After the examinations of to-day the case was adjourned,
and the.prisoner remanded until Thursday.
Another unfortunate feature is, that a pocket-book be-
longing to another firm in the town, which had been missing
for some time, was found upon his person. Mr. Marcus was
not a member of the Stock Exchange, but held the office of
chairmen of the Sharebrokers' Association. He is also one of
the honorary secretaries of the Leeds Mechanics' Institution,
and had hitherto been well respected among most of the re-
spectable inhabitants.
(EROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.)
LEEDS, FEB. 3.—Considerable excitement has been caused
in Leeds to-day by the apprehension of Mr. Marcus, the
vice-chairman of the Leeds Association of Sharebrokers, on a
charge of fraudulently effecting the transfer of railway -stock.
We learn that some other charge of equally . serious cha
racter was produced ; and he is remanded for further exami-
nation, till the secretary of the railway company is enabled'
to arrive in Leeds with additional evidence.
The association with which Mr. Marcus is connected is
not the Leeds Stock Exchange, he having been refused ad-
mittance into that Exchange some months ago.
