SURREY THEATRE.

Ur.der the enterprising and juoic'ous management of
Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick, this favourite resort
of her Majesty's lieges on the southern banks of the
river Thames is more than ever entitled to the patronage
of alt lovers of artistic entertainment. With an efficient
i.,peratic company, and a discriminating selection of the
must popular among the masterpieces of the great
musicians, the house continue=s to attract together
nightly overfl ing audieaces; and, to judge from the
amount of applause lavished ulyin the principal per-
formers, audiences gifted with capabilities cf very enthu-
siastic appreciation. Last evening we witnessed the
seventh representation during the present season of
"lather's Masanie/10, produced for the first time on the
29th ult., with new dresses, scenery, and appoint-
menu. Altogether the manner in which Vile ex
quisite work of genius has been produced by the
',onagers, and rendered by the artists, reflects the highest
honour upon the establishment, and affords large pro-
mise as to the future success of the operatic novelties
autiout,ced to be in preparation. Mdlle. Nau, already
risen into a favourite with the Surrey audience in con-
sequence of her previous impersonation of other obst-
ructers, gained an addition to her popularity by her ad-
mirable, though occasionally too florid, vocalization as
Elena The Musattiedo of Travers, without provoking
all invidious Comparisons with his predecessors on the
English stage, has about it, in one or two respects, ex-
cellences such as entitle him, and, what is more, such
as secure to him no hicansiderable sympathy and
appriibatiun. Of the Pietro of Borrani we
way speak with truth in the fullest terms
f eulogium. His barcarole, " Behold, far o'er the
troubled tide," was given with superb energy. Elea his
acting in this part deserves particular mention, for its
earnest and artistic animation. In his dress and aspect
he is the very beau ideal of a Neapolitan fisherman.
Delavanti as Boren°, and George Tedder as Alphonso,
acquitted themselves creditably. After the opera, which,
it must be observed, is remarkable for one or two admi-
rable scenes, painted by Mr. J. W. Calcott, came a
versien of Schiller's " Kibale and Liebe," entitled The
Musician's Daughter ; .or, The Lovers of Iliedelberg,
NV
With this interesting domestic drama the performances
were brought, t ► a conclusion.
