ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The first representation this season of Le Prophele,
and the rentree of Madame Viardot Garcia, attracted an
overflowing audience to the Royal Italian Opera on Sa-
turday. The Fides of Madame Viardot is one of the
greatest pieces of acting on the lyric stage, and she
proved on Saturday that she had not abated one jot or
tittle of her power. In the coronation scene she was .finer
than ever we have seen her; she seemed to act
more impulsively than was formerly her wont,
to forget her personal identity, to give herself up more
completely to tee part, and the consequence was, that we
had an increase of intensity and force with a diminu-
tion of exaggeration, which produced an effect perfectly
/runtime. Never have we witnessed any thing more
touchingly pathetic than her rendsring of the beautiful
" Ah, mon fits." Merit), who in the early part ut the
evening seemed suffering from indisposition, warmed
wif h his part, and gave the superb finale of the second act
and the Bacchanalian song in the fifth with infinite
fire and spirit. He rainy shared with Madame Viardot
the honours of the representation, and was, at the con-
clusion of the opera, called on with her. The cast of
the opera was, with a few unimportant exceptions, the
same as last year, and it was coust queetly given with a
completeness that left nothing to be destred. Her Ma
jest) and Prince Albert honourtd the performance with
their presence. The gaeen and the Prince were at-
tended by the Viscueetess Canning, the Hon. Miss
Paget, Lurd C.m.rys, General Wewyss, and Colonel
Bouve-ie. The Duke of Bedford's box was occupied by

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
FIiENCII PLAYS.

Madlle. Rachel r,peated on Saturday the character of
Camille in Lea floruces, with all the wonderful power,
pathos, and vitality with which she alone has known how
to animate the lifeless forms of the heroines of French
classical tragedy. We still adhere to he opinion which
we expressed in noticing a few days since tier perform-
ance of Camille, that taken as a whole it is the most per-
fect and greatest of her delineations of classical tragedy,
and we therefore hope that sue will repeat it at least
once more before she leaves us. The house was crowded,
