EVAN G LICAL CONTINENTAL SOCIETY.—A crowded
public meeting was held last night at John-street Chapel,
Doughty-street, to form an association in aid of this society ;
the Hun. and Rev. Baptist W. Noel in the chair. MM. the
Pastors Roussell and Francois addressed the meeting, and
gave highly interesting accounts, from personal observation,
of the growing desire among the people of Paris, and other
parts of France, to discard Popery and embrace Protes-
tantism. At the recent census which was taken in Paris,
many thousands had registered themselves in the columns for
stating their religion as Protestants, and others as wishing for
some better religion than that of the Roman Catholic. The
sale of Bibles was stated to have very greatly increased of late
in France: the sale of the Protestant version of the Scrip-
tures by the Colporteurs had been forbidden by Leon Fauche,
and both the Government and the Roman Catholic priests
off-red every obstacle to the people attending the pastors
who met the people for worship; but the cause of evangelical
religion had made much progre,s. Other speakers then ad-
dressed the meeting on the subject, and resolutions were
adopted for forming an auxiliary society to the above, after
which the meeting separated.
THE BODY OP A POOR CRIPPLE FOUND IN THE
SERPENTINE. Yesterday morning one of the men of the
Royal Humane Society found in the Serpentine River the
body of a remarkable cripple, and it is somewhat surprising
how he got into the water. He is about 45 years of age,
short. His left arm and hand turn inwards, and hang close
to the body, and the right foot is also turned in the same
direction. The dress consisted of a brown cloth overcoat,
fustian trowsers, and hat, but nothing was in his possessten
lik,ly to lead to the identity of the body, which appears to
have been in the water for some time. Mr. Smith, the
beadle of St. Margaret's, has had it removed to the dead-
house at Knightsbridge, where it will remain until the in-
quest ia appointed,

LOND►ON,'

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Mr. Lumley has always been celebrated for bring-
' ing the opera season to a brilliant conclusion by the in-
troduction of some unexpected and almost unannounced
novelty, which takes the town by storm. That which
Madame Sontag did for the season of 1849, and
Madame Fiorentini for the season of 1850, Madame
Barbieri Nini will do for the season of 1851. This
lady, who has created the greater number of the
heroines of Verdi's operas, and for whom the operas
of 1 due Foscari and Macbetto were expressly com-
posed, has long been at the head of her profession in
Italy. At Florence, at Turin, and at Genoa, Madame
Barbieri Nini has long been known and admired.
She comes to us, not the young debutante of mere
promise, but the prima donna of Italy, whose powers
have been matured by diligent and careful study,
and who is at once as a musician most accom-
plished, and as an actress of the very highest order.
Madame Barbieri Nini reminds us moss forcibly of
Madame Pasta. In her personal appearance she re-
sembles her much, and still more in the power,
energy, and irrepressible force of her style of acting.
The voice of Madame Barbieri Nini is one of great
power and compass, and is beautifully clear in the
upper notes. Her fioriture, of which she is very lavish,
is in exquisite taste, and perfectly original ; and the
manner in which she at once attacks and vanquishes
the most difficult passages, proves that she is not only a
most accomplished musician, but that she is always
sure of herself. There is none of the slow approach
to, and cautious preparation for difficulties,
which is observed in many of the most
accomplished musicians. Madame Barbieri Nini
at once attacks and overcomes them. The character she
chose for her debfit was Lucreaia Borgia, and in the
whole range of the lyrical drama she could not, per-
haps, have found one more admirably suited to her
peculiar powers. ller rendering of the cavatina
" Come belle" was beautiful,. and at once secured
to her the favour of her audience; the applause at
the conclusion of the cavatina was enthusiastic,
and from that moment it was evident that the success
of Madame Barbieri Nini was certain. The enthu-
siasm thus created was increased to the highest
pitch by her magnificent acting and singing
throughout the whole of the second act, the
conclusion of which was rapturously encored.
Equally magnificent was she in the third act,
and equally enthusiastic were the audience in
their plaudits. At the conclusion of each act
she was called on, and at the conclusion of the opera
she had to make her appearance three times before
the curtain. She has achieved a great and a well-
merited triumph, and in the delineation of characters
in which dignity combined with intensity, majesty
combined with passion are required, there are few
who can approach Madame Barbieri Nini.
Alboni, who was in exquisite voice, resumed her ori-
ginal character of Matte() Orsini, and sung the music
deliciously. The " Brindisi" was, as a matter of
course, encored. Lablache was full of dignity and
power as Alfonso, and Gardoni made a most interest-
ing Genaro. The choruses were superbly rendered.
The house was crowded in every part.
