hitherto been signalised by several popular and well-
executed productions. Last evening Norma was 11-Inanag
e week,d theatre,has
per-
formed for the first time, the Druid priestess being
personated by Misdlle. Deville, from the Grand Opera,
Geneva, who, without attempting to invest th a cha-
racter with the terrible earnestness of Grisi, or to
dazzle her auditors with any marvellous fioriture,
achieved a decided and legitimate success. Madl!e.
Deville is a finished and pleasing vocalist, her voice,
although not of extraordinary compass, possesses much
sweetness, flexibility, and clearness, and she sings
with taste, feeling, ease, and expression. She created
a very favourable impression, being warmly applauded
throughout, and led on at the conclusion of the opera
in compliance with the general call. The " Casta
Diva" (" Gentle Goddess" in the English version),
was beautifully given, and enthusiastically encored.
The other parts were efficiently sustained. Miss
Poole received much merited applause as Adelgisa ;
Travers sang with great spirit as Pollio; and the fine
organ of Borrani, who was in magnificent voice, was
heard to high advantage in the role of Oroveso. The
orchestra, under the conduct of Herr Meyer Lutz,
fulfilled its functions admirably, and, altogether, the
manner in which Norma was presented reflects the
utmost credit on the resources of the establishment.
The house was crowded in every part before the rising
of the curtain.
A(

-s.CCIDENT TO CAPTAIN CODRINGTONe--ThiS gen-
Leman was driving home from Windsor between ten and
eleven o'clock on Tuesday night in his dog-cart, after having
travelled from town by the Great Western Railway. On
turning an abrupt corner leading out of Peascod-streetfinto
the New-road, it is supposed the wheel of the vehicle caught
the kerb-stone, and by the sudden jerk the driver was
thrown out, and fell on his head. He was picked up out of
a pool of blood senselees, and carried into the Criterion
Public' house, where every attention was paid to him by
Mr. Grover, the landlord, and Mr. Earengey, the surgeon;
and it was not discovered until the following day, when the
unfortunate gentleman regained his consciousness, who he
was. It was afterwards ascertained that the horse pro-
ceeded steadily home, a distance of five miles, through
narrow lanes and abrupt turnings, without accident, and
must, by the tracks, first have gone home, and the gate
being fastened, he afterwards proceeded to the blacksmith's
shop in the village where it was in the habit of being shod,
and where it was discovered waiting quietly at the door at
four o'clock in the morning.
