attention of a respectable audience, taxes, like T.
music, the whole energies of all concerned in its u.f
velopment ; and as each alike determined upon ev",j
tion, the result was satisfactory. The approbation

opera, by a pleasing air, snug by Luisa (Miss pieri,,g;
an effective duett, by Count Rodolfo and the Daehr
Frederica (Hr. Haigh and Mlle. E. Poma) ; and 11
creased by the finale, which caused the curtain to fie•

vocalists.
In the second act, an exceedingly pretty quarteq•
unaccompanied, was much. admired ; and a pather
air, sang with great taste and feeling by Mr. Haig g:
was loudly encored, and will become assuredly. A
general favourite. The dramatic effects in the that;
act, wherein Count Rodolfo and Luisa die by'
at the feet of their parent.i, excited the audience wi
their intensity ; and as Mr. Haigh and Miss Dyer
spared no pains to render the scene as truthful
possible, the opera closed amid well-earned &Eat
