HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Last evening was a grand extra night, and
Beethoven's chef (return Fidelio was repeated with
Madlle. Sofie Cruvelli as the heroine. Each repeti-
tion of this delightful opera seems to develope new
beauties. In order thoroughly to appreciate its
transcendant excellence, it must be seen not once
only, or even twice, but again, and again, and again.
Madlle. Sofie Cruvelli is ever charming and ever new
in her delineation of Fidelio ; the foundation is the
same, but the details are infinitely varied; hers is ❑o
mere mechanical rendering of the part—having im-
bued herself thoroughly with the spirit of the author,
she trusts to the impulse of her genius to vary
the details according to the inspiration of the moment,
and thus it is that, like the late Edmund Kean, she
completely electrifies her audience, imparting to them,
if not a portion of her inspiration, at least a portion of
her enthusiasm. Sims Reeves, as the captive, sang
and acted admirably, and Coletti, as the Governor,
was very fine. The music was admirably and con-
scientiously rendered throughout by the orchestra
and chorus. Never has Beethoven's only opera
been so perfectly performed as a whole as it is at her
Majesty's Theatre. Fidclio was followed by the first
act of the ilfuta di Portici, in which the exquisite
singing of Madame Fiorentini, the expressive panto-
mime of Madlle. Monti, and the graceful dancing of
Madlle. Amalia Ferraris created a perfect furore.

DEATH OF LADY LOUISA STUART.—Lady Louisa
Stuart, the youngest daughter and only surviving child of
the celebrated statesman, Marquis of Bute, died a few Jaye
since, at her residence at Kensington, aged 94. Perhape no
family has more scions extant than the Bute branch of the
noble house of Stuart.

EXTENSIVE FIRE UPON ONE OF TUE DUKE OF
CA3lstriDGE's Faxiss.—On Tuesday night, about ten o'clock,
a fire broke out upon Coomb Warren Farm, Kingston, the
property of the Duke of Cambridge, but in the occupation of
Mr. Francis Gainer, farmer, and before it could be extin-
guished, several hundred pounds worth of property were de-
stroyed. From inquiries made, it appears that a number of
Irish labourers employed upon the farm were allowed per-
mission to sleep in the barn, situated at some distance from
the dwelling house. It is supposed that a spark from one of
their pipes tell upon some straw, which ignited, and soon
afterwards the place was 111 flames. The engines from
Kingston were put in requisition as soon as possible, but the
fire continued raging until four o'clock yesterday morning,
when the flames were effectually subdued. The cattle were
with much difficulty saved and placed in security. The pro-
perty destroyed consisted of 30 quarters of barley, 100 loads
of straw, cow sheds, and the barn where the fire originate d.
Mr. Gainer is insured in the Norwich Fire Insurance Office,
and it is estimated that 3001. will cover his loss.
