tained 1 )3,- voluntary contributions.
In am kouncing another Bazaar, the Committee beg leave to
express their deep feeling of gratitude to the public for the
generous patronage extended to the Bazaars held in former
Years. The profits realised by them augmented so considera-
bly the fund by which the Hospital was built that but for
these el forts the New Wing, which is now fully occupied,
could h: we scarcely been commenced.
The ) pressure of the times, however, with the heavy in-
crease 3f responsibility occasioned by the accommodation
given t o 130 additional patients, and the opening of the
Senator ium at Bournemouth, are considerations so important
that the Committee appeal to the friends aid patrons of this
valuabl a Institution with unusual earnestness to support

them b y their presence at the Bazaar, and to prepare for the
effort such articles of work as they may consider suitable,
including paintings, drawings, &c. Donations also of music,

of rase sanism, architectural and fancy designs, specimens of
coins, birds, insects, books and other publications, authors'

ER MAJSEEASSOTNYI;SS6 THEATRE.
It, is respectfully announced that the OPERA. SEASON
Will COMMENCE on SATURDAY, the 10th of May.
Om resuming the performances which have been suspended
during the last three years, the Director of her Majesty's
Thi iatre is anxious to assure the patrons of the Opera and
the. public, that no exertion shall be wanting to secure for
this establishment that high position it so long maintained ;

awil he trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under more

' pr osperous auspices will be accompanied with that favour
sold support which no frequenter of the Opera needs to be
**; Iterainded were for so maszyjeorse sooorded to a britliant and
•
Successful management- • '
`-•-• 1847, of many of those performers who
ed to the Opera House was th 3 coni-
ng and arduous struggle to maintain the
.1 house ; and it was not till the wealth of
lour successive competitors had been fruitlessly lavished upon
the rival theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelled
retire from the contest.
•
From that time to the present Mr. Lumley's efforts have
been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a
Permanent basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient
home. He has received liberal encouragement from every
side, and, effectually aided by noble and generous support
from a quarter where the refinements of art and taste never
fail to find a patron, ho is now enabled gratefully to announce
the immediate resumption of performances.
At the present moment there are vocalists, of an excellence
seldom surpassed, who have never been heard by an English
Public. Of these the elite have been secured for the present

season.
Her Majesty's Theatre is marked out by its size, its situa-
tion, and its convenience of access, no less than by old and
Interesting associations, as the appropriate seat of the Opera.
In the acoustic properties, so essential to the effective pro-
duction of the lyrical drama, it is acknowledged to surpass
every other stage in Europe. In consequence of some happy
accident of construction a result has been attained that science
has failed to explain, and that no architect could engage to
reproduce, by which the faintest tones and the most delicate
vocalisation penetrate with unimpaired clearness to the re-
zaotest recesses of the vast edifice.

The arrangements completed and in progress, both in Opera
and Ballet, will, it is confidently hoped, be thought worthy
Of the former repututiou of the Theatre, and of the just ex-
. Pectations of its distinguished supporters.
In consequence of the late period at which it was resolved
Open the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactory as it is
aped they will even now be found, are not yet fully coin-
• pleted ; and negotiations are in progress from which impor-
tant accessions are expected.
