sinking in our eatlmarion, he appeared to greater
advantage, and supported ill; part with augmented
ability. The gpplause was as loud and as frequent
as through all, his former efforts. Mrs. Powat.t.

no disagreeable pressure occurred ; :ind people ob.

by afrording room for

It will be easily seen that there pre materials
enough to. form a good. Plot, but we do not think,
they are worked up in this Piece so well ai they
might hare been. There ►eems to 'Live been little
other desire than to make it .a vehicle for the musk.
Some of the scent if however, were happily managed;
4,nd the languge W3B in -general iptightly and a.,
proptime, with. the exception of :41 few coarse ann.
siuns and hackneyed . pons. We. were .surprised
also 'to see.tWO or three tricks which would sUarcely,
have been tolerated in a Pantomime.

ofMes;rl.l.larinAm, ite eve, and DAvv.. Some of the
airs are very pretty, and were deservedly applauded.

cally encored,' but through the 'pertinacious opposi.
dun of a part of the Audience, scarcely a word of
it could be heard the second titre. Those who ltdd
called for it Were, 'however, determined not to he

proceed'uritil4ilm.t had sung it a third'time—a
request whidi the latter very good naturedly coin..
plied with. Soon afterwards the tumult became so
great, that scarcely a 'word in the lair scene could
be heard.

. After the curtain had dropped, Miqprst 'came
forward to give out the Piece for a
,ercond ref,rt.
senta!ion title night ; but the opposition 'was so ill
Haus, that-he could not be heard; he concCnted him-
self, therefore, with giving it acct amidst the storm,
and retiring immediately from'the itage.
We do not think 'that this Opera will add much
to Mr. Dr ODIN'S fame. it betrays evident. rnatks
of a ton hasty composition. With some alterations
and curtailments, however, we have no doubt it will

please the Public for some time, particularly as 4i
great pith of the music is admirably calculated to
charm the car and gratify time taste.
The Performers did ample justice to the eharac*
teas allotted them, and scarcely in any Piece have
we seen so much of the strength of the Company en-
gaged. BRAHMA and ittct.spott gave their Sopgs
in a capital style. Signora STortAcs displayed her
usual ability, and Miss DAVIES sung with great
sweetness- and taste. MVNDEN, FAWCRTT, EMS.
KY and Roctt exerted themmelves with great effeet.
Every Performer, in short, did ample justice to the
Author.

The opposition to the New Opera at Covent.

aisured, frAnn a hand of Jew who 111(1 applied to
