HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. '
Her Majesty's Theatre re-opened for the past-
Paschal season last evening, with the delightful and
intensely Italian opera buffa, L' Elisir d' Amore, and
never has this chef d'oeuvre of Donizetti been more
strongly cast or more charmingly represented. Madlle.
Duprez was the Adina, and had Donizetti composed
the part expressly for this young and fascinating
prima donna, she could not have been more exactly
fitted. She looked and acted the rustic village
heiress to the life—pretty, young, arch, naive, Sat twit
soft peu espiegle, Madlle. Caroline Duprez
was the very Adina of the author, and she warbled
the light, brilliant sparkling music, which was exactly
suited to the timbre of her voice, in the most exquisite
and fascinating manner imaginable, with that facility
of execution, flexibility of voice, and perfection of
intonation which have already become her distinguish-
ing characteristics, and have won for her the fame
of being one of the most finished, most brilliant,
and faultless, as she is one of the youngest
of; prime donne. The audience were enthu-
siastic in their applause, and Madlle. Duprez
was called on three times. But the Adina of Madlle.
Duprez was not the only great feature of the evening.
Lablache made his first appearance for the season as
Dulcamara, and from the time the head of the white
horse became visible until the great basso had stood
at the footlights some five minutes, bowing his ac-
knowledgments, the applause was enthusiastic and
continuous. He is the same Lablache that he has
ever been, as fat, as humorous, as rollicking, his voice
as magnificent, his fun as unctious, his introduced
scraps of English and French as telling and
as mirth exciting as ever ; his Dulcamara
of last night was one of the richest pieces of Italian
comedy ever seen. Calzolari was the Nemorino, and
sang the music exquisitely. The "Una furtiva la-
grirna" has been seldom more deliciously rendered,
and, to make the cast perhaps the strongest ever pre-
sented of this opera, Coletti was the Sergeant Bel-
core. A selection from Les Metamorphoses followed,
in which Carlotta Grisi danced the pas of the rustic
coquette and that of the folie so exquisitely as to
excite quite a furore. She was called at the conclu-
sion, act applauded to the echo. The theatre was
crowded.
The Queen's box was occupied by the Earl and
Countess of Morley, the Ladies Parker, Mr. and Mrs.
Humphrey Mildmay and party. Amongt the noble
and distinguished individuals also honouring the theatre
with their presence on this occasion were the following:
—His Grace the Duke of Wellington and the Mar-
chioness of Douro, the Prince Demidoff, his Excel-
lency the Russian Minister and the Baroness Bru-

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
Les Huguenots was performed here last evening,
for the first time this season, and Mario made his
rentree in the character of Raoul de Nangis ; he,
although somewhat hoarse, sang and acted with great
spirit, displaying a warmth, and energy, and pas-
sion of which we had before scarcely thought him ca-
pable. The great duet between Raoul and Valantine
has been never more superbly given than it was last
evening by Mario and Grisi ; the latter of whom
was in excellent voice, and threw her whole soul
into the part. Angri was to have performed the
part of the page, Urbane, but was unable to ap-
pear in consequence of an attack of influenza.
Bertrandi, from the Italian Opera, Berlin,
undertook the part at a few hours notice, and ac-
quitted herself most creditably. The stern old
Lutheran Marcelle was sublimely (that is the only
appropriate word) rendered by Formes ; and Polonini
gave a careful version of the part of St. Brie, hereto-
fore acted by Tamburini. The choruses were
splendidly given, and the Blessing of the Poignards
was, of course, encored.
The Queen's box was occupied by the Marchioness of
Waterford and Lady Stuart de Rothesay, Viscount
and Viscountess Canning and party. Among the
company honouring the theatre with their presence
we remarked the Marchioness of Ailesbury, the
Marchesa Brancaleoni and Mdlle. Brancaleoni, the
Earl Granville, the Countess of Malmesbury, the
Earl Cowper, the Earl Bruce, the Marchioness of West.

APOLLONICON, ADELAIDE-STREET,
STRAND.
Mr. Grattan Cooke's benefit took place at the above
rooms on Monday evening, and it must have been
gratifying to him to have seen the numbers of friends
who rallied round him on the occasion. The per-
formance was under the patronage of the officers of
the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, and their splendid
band, under the direction of Mr. Cooke, who on the
occasion donned their uniform, performed several
pieces of music, much to the delectation of the audi-
ence. We scarcely knew Mr. Cooke when he made
his appearance with his " blushing honours thick
upon him," and it is but justice to him to say that in
his military attire he looks the beau ideal or a man
of war, and as if he had been such "from his youth
up." The bill of fare was very attractive. Mr.
Richardson played a couple of solos on the flute with
the greatest brilliancy, and his usual unapproach-
able excellence;and if old Paganini were alive we can
fancy with what delight he would have listened to
the musician-like treatment which his " Carnival de
Venise" received at the fair hands of Miss Collins.
Her faultless and marvellous execution quite took the
audience by storm, and she was honoured with an
enthusiastic encore. To that, however, we imagine
she has by this time become quite accustomed, for
she receives the like honour on every night of the
Apollonicon Concerts. The Distin family performed
on the sax-horns, and a young lady, Miss Marriot
O'Connor, made her debut with the greatest success.
A glee, in which she and the Distins took part,
" Down in a flowery vale," was quite a gem, and
was sung with most admirable taste and precision.
On the whole, the concert passed off in capital style,
and Mr. Cooke deserves the thanks of the public for
the satisfactory manner in which he catered for their
amusement.

ARBITRATION IN THE CASE OF MESSRS. MIINDAY7
THE ORIGINAL CONTRACTORS FOR THE BUILDING.-Mr.
Robert Stephenson, the sole arbitrator in this case, held a
second meeting at the Palace of Westminster this day, when
Mr. Whishaw was examined at considerable length on the
part of the contractors.

THE EXPOSITION.—When the Exposition was first
proposed, a general notion prevailed that none but positively
new inventions were admissible. As the subject, however,
became better understood, it was ascertained that it was
really to be a representation of the best products of art and
manufactures. Even now there can be no doubt but that
many of our warehousemen and shopkeepers are disposing of
textile fabrics of the very class and character as will be at
the Exposition. We learn, for instance, that the Messrs.
Jay, of Regent-street, during their recent visit to Paris, were
fortunate enough to obtain for, their mourning establishment
four mantles of the exact moael and make as those that will
be exposed on the Ist of May in the Crystal Palace; the
only difference being that the latter are in delicate, rich, and
attractive colours, whereas those of Messrs. Jay are in black
and greys suited to their particular trade.
THE GREAT BELL AT NOTRE DAME.—The large
bell of the Cathedral of Notre Dame was rung on
.Good
Friday, after a silence of three years, caused by repairs in
the belfry. A large crowd assembled on the Pangs to hear
it. The bell is called Emmanuel, was cast in 1682, and
Louis XIV. named it in the christening ceremony. For-
merly sixteen men were required to ring it, but owing to an
Improvement in the hanging, four now suffice. The relics of
the Cathedral were, on Good Friday, carried round in solemn
