PRINCESS'S.

As might naturally be imagined the succes4 of "lienry V."
is far too great to. Allow any change in the bills for the
celebration of the .Easter holidays. None of Mr. Kean's
marvellous 'f revivals" have proved nearly so attractive as
this great historic,al work, and last night he had what is
emphatically. termed a " great house."

EASTER AMUSEMENTS.

ITALIAN OPERA, DRURY-LANE.

So far as success may be predicted from the results of an
inauguration night, we may feel certain that the Italian
Opera at Drury-lane will be as satisfactory to the public as
profitable to the manager, and that the non-occupancy of
Her Majesty's Theatre will not be attended with such
serious regret, as was anticipated. Bellini's popular opera
of "La Sonnambula" was chosen for the advent, and a
more charming work could not have been presented. The
music is too well known to need any critical advertance,
seeing that barrel-organs and butcher-boys create un-
ceasing effect with it.
The caste last evening, with Mdlle. Balfe and Signor
Mongini as the principals, was as excellent as
could be expected on an initiatory occasion. The

fair prima donna exerted herself with great spirit,
and gave the airs of her part with much sweet-
ness and delicacy of execution, especially the melodies,
"Ah I non Giunge," and " Come mer me Sereno." Of
Signor Mongini, the new tenor, it is scarcely fair to judge.
He evidently possesses vast physical strength in the upper
range of notes, and is an accomplished musician, but he
laboured under a severe hoarseness, and experienced
much of the nervous trepidation incident on a debut
before a London audience. We shall pronounce more de-
cidedly when he is in full possession of his natural powers.
Signer Badiali was among the best Count Rodolpho's we
have heard, his acting being as efficient as his singing.
The subordinate characters were well sustained, and the
opera, altogether, gave promise of a competent series of
lyrical performances.
With M. Benedict as conductor, the management of the
orchestral department may be imagined as tolerably perfect,
considering the difficulties usually encountered with a
totally strange company; but we advise the talented direc-
tor to enforce strictly the discipline he so well knows the
value of.

Showers of bouquets and rapturous applause marked the
progress of the opera.

The divertissnent, " Ariadne," is an admirable specimen
of that class of entertainment ; the scenery and dresses are
splendid, and the artistes of most attractive order. Mdlle.
Amina Boschetti distinguished herself by some very ele-
gant and animated dancing. The elasticity and grace of
her actions are peculiarly fascinating, and she will doubt-
less prove an immense attraction. The whole of the sup-
porters of the ballet are eminently qualified, forming a
combination of "light fantastic toes" not easily surpassed
in chorographic representation.
The house is beautifully decorated and lighted, with a finish
and taste marking all the appointments throughout, and a
brilliant and numerous audience testified their approbation
by vociferously calling for the enterprising manager.
Signor Giuglini makes his appearance to-night in "La
Favorita," and his admirers will unquestionably gather
round him gladly and numerously.

UNITED STATES CIRCUS.

It ceases to JUL; surprise that this place of amusement,
opened only for a short time, has gradually become an esta-
blished favourite when we find the care which is exhibited
to minister to the desires of pleasure folks, and the general
good management and good order which mark all portions
of the entertainments. Yesterday, as might have been ex-
pected, Messrs. Howes and Cushing reaped a rich harvest,
which will bear fruit we hope for the future, for the place
was always full to overflowing, and all seemed to go grati-
fied away. The performance of the Californian troupe makes
the visitors' hair stand on end, and leads to the suspicion
that in early youth they must have undergone a culinary
process known • as "boning," and so become perfectly inde-
pendent of the conditions with which a fear of fractures con-
trols the limbs of ordinary people. They are really; however,
a very choice set of acrobats, and men who are certain to fall
on their feet, no matter with what somersault, fortune may
favour them. The corde volanto trick, by Mr. Franklin, is
as difficult to perform as it is almost painful to witness, and
the visitor turns with pleasure to the bounds and gyrations
of Miss Delevanti, who does on a tight rope what less gifted
mortals would infallibly break their necks in attempting on
an ordinary floor. The cannon ball tricks are curious evi-
dences of muscular power, and the motley brothers and acts
of horsemanship give unbounded delight to the juveniles.
The bull-fight is as successful as heretofore, though the
" celebrated horse Tamany," who personates the " lord of
lowing herds," at times spoils the effect of the illusion by
ignoring the use of his mock horns and acting vigorously on
the defensive with his heels.
London, England, 1859-04-26

CANTERBURY HALL.

This popular music hall WAS last eveningcrowded to excess.
Hour after hour visitors, literally by hundreds, unwillingly
left the doors to seek an evening's amusement elsewhere ;
and many of those who, by early arrival, obtained admit-
tance, were compelled to be content with the spacious area
of the music hall, the ante-hall, and the Fine-arts Gallery,
which were crowded soon after the opening of the doors.
An embarrass de riehesses awaited the audience, for, to the
ordinary sources of amusement have been added a juvenile
instrumentation which would reflect credit upon the best
performances at many of the West-end concert-rooms. We
allude particularly to the performances of the young Dele-
pierres, little musicians, most interesting in appearance, and
whose performances were attractive in the extreme. They
are three French children, the eldest of whom is but eight
years of age, and the youngest a mere infant, who however
keeps her violin firmly in her grasp, and maintains it under
perfect control. They have performed in Paris and other
places with marked success. They made their debut at Can-
terbury Hall last evening, when their reception was not only
favourable, but enthusiastic. Without particularising their
performances, it is enough to record that, considering their
tender age, they handle the violin with consummate ability,
and theirefforts, especially the closing performance of " God
Save the Queen," were greeted with rapturous applause.
They exhibit a remarkable display of precocious talent,
which appeared to be fully appreciated by an over-crowded
and excited audience, and, in conclusion, we have only. to
congratulate the enterprising proprietor upon the acquisi-
tion of this novelty in addition to the well-known attractions

recipients the importance of the distinction,
especially conferred by her Majesty for their long
and honourable conduct in the service of their
country, &c.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements
on these disorders emanate only from unqualified ceements
but as the new Medical Act provides that none but retzmn
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that ai;
legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point ofzre
importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of ' Self-Preservation,' facts of pare
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-
volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.
In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the
Influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet, ',hardship, or by iniudicious
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible,

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA ; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be remo'ed by the most
simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan_ Infirmary for the

Cure'of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through along professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858,

THE NAVY.

The Dee, paddlewheel steam storeship, arrived at
Portsmouth yesterday with boilers, machinery, &c.,
from Woolwich. The Doris, 32, screw steam frigate,
Captain E. Heathcote, yesterday hoisted out her
screw in its frame under the sheers in Portsfueuth
Harbour. She was -immediately towed out to Spit-
head again by the'Echo steam tug (having powder
and shell on board), to wait the necessary altera-
tions being madf to her screw, which will not be
completed before to-morrow, when she will be
brought into the harbour again to reship it for
further trials. The Melpomme, 51, screw steam
frigate, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, has com-
pleted taking on board the whole of her guns. Her
coaling is not quite complete, owing to some altera-
otions being made in her bunkers. An order has
been received from the Admiralty to select the
Marines for service in this frigate. The Hannibal's
additional complement of Marines are also ordered
to prepare for embarkation.
The Pincher and Bulfinch, screw steam gunboats
at Portsmouth, have been placed in No. 7 dock, to
complete repairs to hull, &c.

Portsmouth Ordinary, has been appointed to the
Asia, 80, the future steam reserve guardship at that
port.

HAYMARKET.

The success of Mr. Palgrave Simpson's comedy the
" World and the Stage," so honourably achieved when it
was produced some weeks ago on the occasion of Miss Amy
Sedgwick's benefit, was thoroughly confirmed last night,
when it was played for the second time in the presence of
an audience crowded after legitimate Easter fashion. A
hearty welcome, too, was given to the accomplished actress,
whose temporary retirement caused the suspension of the
piece. _

- However, the work especially provided for the recreation
of the holiday-folks is a burlesque by Mr. Frank Talfourd
(now one of the chiefs of extravaganza), entitled "Electra,
in a New Electric Light." The old heroic story that em-
ployed the pens of the three Greek tragedians, of course,
forms the basis of the plot, and the scene in which Orestes
and Pylades make their first appearance on the soil of
Mycena), is manifestly after Sophocles ; but, as matricide,
however justifiable, is rather too serious a matter for comic
treatment, Mr. Talfourd has wound up the tale with a cata-
strophe of his own. Clytemnestra has fallen in love with
Pylades, .Xgisthus with Chrysothemis, niece (not daughter)
of his terrible queen, and each swallows poison prepared by
the other. No less a personage than Nemesis herself ap-
pears as the apologist of this bold alteration. An amatory
episode in which Orestes and Chrysothemis are the inter-
esting pair, the former winning the latter in a wrestling
match is another innovation on the simplicity of the old
story.

isfr. Talfourd shows himself as ready a punster as ever,
and frequent and hearty are the lanhs excited by the
verbal jokes. .

As a-spectacle the new burlesque is likely to prove highly
attractive. A classic bustle, with a grotesque ballet in the
great square of Mycenes—a banquet after the antique
fashion, with most splendid appointments, come in as mag-
nificent appendices to a series of Grecian views, and the last
scene, a mechanical piece of splendour, on the well-known
transformation" principle, is not only gorgeous in itself,
but is sufficiently novel in its splendour to please even those
whose eyes have not recovered from the dazzle caused by a
long course of Christmas pantomimes. A shout of applause
followed the fall of the curtain.

L' NL S.

ITALIAN OPERA, DRURY-LANE.
So far as success may be predicted from the results of an
inauguration night, we may feel certain that the 'Wien
Opera at Drury-lane will be as satisfactory to the public as
profitable to the manage; and that the non occupancy of
Her Majesty's Theatre will not be attended with such
serious regret, as was anticipated. Bellini's popular opera
of "La Sonnambula" was chosen for the advent, and a
more charming work could not have been presented. The
music is too well known to need any critical advertence,
seeing that barrel-organs and butchor-boys create un-
ceasing effect with it.
The caste last evening, with Mdlle. Ealfe and Signor
Mongini as the principals, was as excellent as
could be expected on an initiatory occasion. The
fair prima donna exerted herself with great spirit,
and gave the airs of her part with much sweet-
ness and delicacy of execution, especially the melodies,
"Ah l non_ Giunge," and "Come mer me Sereno." Of
Signor Mongini, the new tenor, it is scarcely fair to judge.
He evidently possesses vast physical strength in the upper
range of notes, and is an accomplished musician, but he
laboured under a severe hoarseness,' -and experienced
much of the nervous- trepidation incident on a debut
before a London audience. We shall pi•onounce more de-
cidedly when he is in full possession of his natural powers.
Signor Badiali was among the best Count Bodolpho's we
have heard, his acting being: as efficient as his singing.
The subordinate characters were well sustained, and the
opera, altogether, gave promise of a competent series o.
lyrical performances.

With M. Benedict- as conductor, themanagement of the
orchestral department may be imagined as thlerablypeffect,
cOnsidering the difficulties usually, encountered with a
totally strange company; but we advise:fhe tafented direc-
tor to enforce strictly the discipline he so well knows the
value of: • • -

Showers of bouquetk and rapturous applause tnarked the
progress of the opera.
The iliveitissmpnt, ‘? Ariadne," is an admirable specimen
of that class of entertainment ;. the scenery and dresses are
spendid, and the artistes of most attractive order:- Mdlle.
Araina-B_ distinguished herself by some very ele-
gait auctai4mateYl dancing. The elasticity and grace of
her actions are peculiarly fascinating, and she. will doubt=

i plorve au immense attraction. The whole of the sup-
porters- of •the ballet are eminently, qUalified; lerming a
coMbintitioii of "light fantastic toes" not easily surpassed
is choregraphic representation.

The house is beatiti fully decorated and lighted, with a finish
and taste marking all the appointments Ihroughout, and a
brilliant arid numerous audience testified their approbation
by-vocifero'Asly caning for the enterprisi;g mauager.
Signor Guiligni makes his appearance, to-night in "La
Favorite,". and his admirers will unquestionably gather
round hitrogladly and numerously.
