PER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The proC.uction of Verdi's " Luisa Miller," although
affording strong itestimony of Mr. Lumley's desire to
present his patrons with every possibly variety, cannot
be considered as among the most saccessful eff)rts of the
season, and the manager is wise in substituting other and
far better operas. Verdi's Luisa may "do ones in a way,"
but commend u 3 tl "Lucrezla Borgia," La Figlia del
Reggimento, Don Giovanni, and such choice works
as the company at this house are thoroughly qualified
to present in a high degree of ex,..llence, rather than to
the sccond-rats operas of a Verdi, Such singers as
Alboui, Titiens, Balliti, Giuglini, and B3neveutano are
worth hearing in first-class music, and crowded and bril-
lent andiencas bear witness that they fully appreciate
the numerous and sound works prepared for their en-
joyment by Mr. Lumley. La Figlia del Reggimento
will be repeated to-morrog evening, and on Thursday
" Lucrt zia," with its unusually strong cast will be
given.
