II ER MAJESTY'S THEATR E.
SEASON 1856.

It is respectfully announced that the OPERA SEAS') N
will COMMENCE on SATURDAY, the 10th of May.
On resuming the performances which have been suspends 1
daring the last three years, the Director of her Majesty 's
Theatre is anxious to assure the patrons of the Opera an d
the public, that no exertion shall be wanting to secure fa r
this establishment that high position it so long maintained ;
and he trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under mot e
prosperous auspices will be accompanied with that favera r
and support which no frequenter of the Opera needs to 11 3
reminded were for so many years accorded to a brilliant al
successful management.
The secession, in 1847, of many of those performers wit e
had long been attached to the Opera House was the ma 1-
ruencement of a long and arduous struggle to maintain #1 e
fortunes of the old house ; and it was not till the wealth • of
four successive competitors had been fruitlessly lavished upa .n
the rival theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelli d
to retire from the contest.

From that time to the present Mr. Lumley's efforts ha. ,e
been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a
permanent basis, and to restore the Opera to its annie nt
home. He has received liberal encouragement from ewe ry
aide, and, effectually aided by noble and generous sup p art
from a quarter where the refinements of art and taste n ei -er
fail t o find a patron, he is now enabled gratefully to anno su ice
the immediate resumption of performances.
At the present moment there are vocalists, of an excerler ice
seldom surpassed, who have never been heard by an En gt ish
public. Of these the elite have been secured for the pr est int
s iason.

Her Maje7ty's Theatre is marked out by its size, its na-
tion, and its convenience of access, no less than by old.: and
interesting associations, as the appropriate seat of the Cep 3ra.
In the acoustic properties, so essential to the effectiveb 1 mo-
duction of the lyrical drama, it is acknowledged to s ar: )ass
every other stage in Europe. In consequence of some ha ppy
accident of con, truction a result has been attained that S,S, mce
has failed to explain, and that no architect could engs.gt ) to
reproduce, by which the faintest tones and the most deli sate
vocalisation penetrate with unimpaired clearness to th( re-
motest recesses of the vast edifice, _ _ _

The arrangements completed and in progress, both in 0: ?era
and Ballet, will, it is confidently hoped, be thought *we rthy
of the former reputution of the Theatre, and of the just , ex-
pectations of its distinguished supporters.
In consequence of the late period at which it was rest dyed
to open the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactory as it is
hoped they will even now be found, are not yet fully, •corn.-
pleted ; and negotiations are in progress from which "irc,por-
tant accessions are expected.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MIY 1, 1856.

" The Precious Tr:-aty" has already been sig-
nalised by the criminal and unauthorised surren-
der of one of the chief sources of the maritime
supremacy of Great Britain—of that "incontest-
able right" which, by enabling us to destroy the
commerce of any enemy, rendered England really
formidable to its opponents, and caused any atti-
tude which the ponclam " Queen of the Ocean"
might deem it expedient to assume to be respected.
VOl/3 ChangOnS lout eels, and we may, ere many
ars, possibly months, have elapsed, hare deep
se to regret the culpable weakness and uncon-
