HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Cerito has returned to us, and returned looking and
dancing and acting more delightfully than ever. She
made her debut last evening in Alma, and the falling of
the statue in the first scene, where she is discovered
standing on its pedestal a living, breathing, joyous cr-a-
ture, instead of dull cold marble, was the signal
for such a series of rounds of enthusiastic applause as
have seldom been heard within the walls of her Ma-
jesty's Theatre; and, when descending from the pedestal,
she rushed with arrowy steps to the front of the stage,
the applause was again and again renewed; and grace-
fully did she again and again acknowledge the
plaudits of the delighted audience, and some-
what more than gracefully too—there was heart in
her acknowledgment. It was more the mutual

applause and the conventional acknowledgment usual
to s own pas, which no one has
attempted, and no
which first secured her the position she at present
holds—the pas that perfected the triumph of
her system of choreographic art—the pas which
won for her - the title of " Realist," and in which
she introduces all the wonders of her art--the i
arrowy rush—the dazzlingly twinkling steps—the mar-
vellous tourbillons—the espiegle coquetting—the de-
lightfully expressive pantomime—all, all were there,
and there in the greatest perfection. It was in-
deed a pas de fascination, and never did
Cerito look, or dance, or act, more fascinatingly
than she did last evening. The pus was a
perfect triumph, and at its conclusion bouquets innumer-
able were showered upon the stage. She was most effi-
ciently supported by Perrot, whose diablerie in this pas
was worthy of Mephistopheles himself. In the next
scene we had a pas de trois by Cerito, her husband.
St. Leon, and Mademoiselle Demelisse. St Leon
is looking very well, and danced exquisitely,
revelling as usual in thoie marvellous tours de force.

sari, and Lablache, and the ye.ung Brats, ills, An
apology was made forMario,who was sutf. r ng from hoars,
ness, and who, therefore, omitted a portion of the music,
Grisi, Fornasari, and Lablache, were in excellent voice;
and young Brambilla, as Pipo, albeit somewhat
nervous, acquitted herself admirably. The celebrated
prison duet in the second act was exquisitely given by
Grisi and Brambilla. The overture., one of the ino--4
beautiful of Rossini's compositions, was performed to per-
fection by the orchestra, under the admirable con-
ducting of Balfe. We have never heard anything more
perfectly given than was the overture to La Gazzc
Ladra last evening. Then we ,had a pis do trois,
which Louise raglioni (and right worthy is she of the name
she bears) was the heroine, and the last act of
Linda, for Madame Castellan, who, as usua

achieved a triumph. All these came before
Alma, yet not a person left the house until after the

pas de fascination. They had gone to see Cerito, and
to welcome her back to her throne, and, like loyal
subjects, they all remained (and when we say all we
mean some thousands, for the house was crowded in
every part) to pay her homage.
