BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Our market is in a very sluggish state for most kinds of
Hops, both in pockets and bags, yet we can notice no altera-
tion in prices. _ _

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The admirable condition in which Grisi has returned
to us is the common subject of remark at the Opel*
The approbation which is awarded her is not inereli,
that which is awarded to an established favourite, b!:
there is in it something of the. freshness of the pro's"
which is bestowed on a successful debutante. All eel
to acknowledge that she was, as it were, behind a cloud
last season, and that she has now come forward alt.e
pristine brilliancy. The mellowness of her voice, tor
finished neatness of her passages, the delicacy of M a
colouring, are the constant themes of admiration, at
are lauded as if they were something new. " 11°
beautiful did Grisi sing to-night 1" is the general Oat.
lation at the close of the opera, while not a few
au°
" How beautiful did Grisi look !"
Last night she appeared as Nemorina in Don Pasqui.es
and quite sustained that position in the estimation of P.,
hearers, which she gained by her Elvira on Tuesder
Charming is the ease and playfulness of her acting, diatr.
ing the low of liquid melody with which she regal
the audience. Now the notes come rushing forth
in full richness and luxuriance, now they are scatterto
with a lightness which would seem scarcely sufficient
convey them to the ear, and yet they fall as distinct;
and as clearly articulated as possible. The finale, in arlll,o
all the power of her voice was contrasted with all if.,
softness, in which the unimpeded torrent of sound "2,
suddenly followed by the most delicate vocal scinthrt.
flung, left the audience in a state of perfect deligu,s,.
Lablache (who can never grow old) treats the cheroot,
of Don Pasquale like a master in his art. While hie
superb voice rolls magnificently through the music,
has a thousand humorous devices to fill up the gaisigt
which are left in the piece, and to make an agreestu,
comedy of a most meagre opera. If any one, not halltir,
heard Don Pasquale as it is performed, wore soberll,o
turn over the music, what an ineffective affair would I"
anticipate ! how would be sigh at having to t°o
through pages of unmeaning, dull recitative, to cone t,
the pretty melodies, so few and far between ! Yet''
the hands of such artists as Grisi and Lablache, ths
shadow becomes a substance : humour, life, spirits t:.ec;
vivacity are kept in ceaseless play throughout, so Per'
is Grisi as the mischievous young widow ; so perfee.,s,,el
Lablache as the amorous and afterwards afflicted
-ret,
gentleman. Fornasari, who was not quite in full f°
on Tuesday, had evidently recovered last night his ,„°?.js
fidence and power. He had thrown off a weight wsurif
seemed to encumber him, and sang delightfullis
acted with greater spirit than he ever before displalthe
Mario was, of course, to have sung the serenade.' he
one piece in the opera which has found :its way to tOO
ear of the universal public ; but the following 110 till se told the audience they were to be disappointed. lt 03
be remembered that on Tuesday a slight hoarseness 9'
in the way of Mario's beat endeavours : the
" The indulgence of the nobility, subscribers, arie ;>1
public, is solicited in behalf of Signor Corelli, whott
consequence of the illness of Signor Mario, has,
few hours' notice, consented to appear this ever,los
Ernesto,' to prevent a total disappointment." ise.
The privation was the more to be endured, as it eilis
interesting to surmise how that rising tenor, telf
would succeed, in an air which Mario had eonWietota
made his own. He sang it not only with that good oe
which has always been observed in him, but with setici•
tensity of feeling which could scarcely have been 9° de'
pated. He received a hearty encore, and well he de
served it. As usual, the four principal artists Ol of
their appearance before the curtain at the conclusi°e
the opera.

It was followed by a divertissement, in which
,e v
" Polka" is danced, by Carlotta and Perrot, and Votas
course, agreeable, for what pas executed by Cal:, et'
could be otherwise ! The lady and gentleman ar; the
tired in that Sclavonic kind of costume in whie'patt
military jacket and neat little boot cut so progur!ie
figure ; and they stamp at one another, and gni tr,
one another, and the lady looks a myriad of coque hies
over her shoulder at the gentleman, and then seizef,sba,
by the arm, and drags him round and round, as ,1
,orl
thought the arm and the socket of the shoulder es',
he divorced. Admirably done this was, and it 0; es
pretty spectacle, for Carlotta is the most fascinatia'
coquettes.
Between the divertissement and the ba.V.et of ""eoei;

which we mention for the sake of observing °in" f
great improvement of Mademoiselle Pasqua'. 'I DS'
