HER MAJESTYS THEATRE.
An overflowing house assembled last night to greet Cerito
on the occasion of her benefit. She is one of the chief
favourites of the public, and none are more entitled to their
favour. From her first appearance at her Majesty's Theatre,
she carried away the votes of all its frequenters-,and remark-
able as were her first pas on our Italian stage, every year
she has appeared since that time she has presented in her
dancing striking "improvements—and, what is still more
maintainse d theby h i

unaffected grace.- Marvellous as 'are her feats they betray
no effort—each step appears unpremeditated and the offspring
of the inspiration of the moment—and so devoid of sameness
that they are unforeseen.. Dancing generally addresses itself to
the senses, and not to the understanding, and.t.he value of such
dancers as Cerito is, that they throw into the shade allless com-
mendable attempts in the art. Their influence is like that of
'the unrivalled romances of Walter Scott, which at once ba-
nished from circulation the grosser novels that previously
usurped public favour. The entertainments of the night,
besides all the favourite pas of Cerito and of Fanny Elssler,
included the whole of the Barbiere, and the last arena of
Lucia. In the Barbiere, Fornisari was much indisposed, but
did not betray it, either in his acting or singing ; Grisi, who '
appeared as youthful-in person as in her voice ; Mario, in one
of his most triumphant inspirations; and Lablache, at each
• moment convulsing the public with laughter, excited a con-
stant enthusiasm of applause. Then followed Persiani, pour-
ing forth a flood of musical embellishments. As to Moriani,
it seems as if Fra Poco were written for him ; his dying scene
is quite appalling, and fearfully true to nature. Although
not a subscription night, several persons of distinction were
present, including their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Ductless of Cambridge, the Grand Duke and Duchess of
Mecklenburgh-Strelitz, accompanied by LaV.Augnsta So-
merset'; the Duchess of Somerset, the Marquises of London-
derry and Clanricarde, the Earls of Pembroke and Westmore-
land, Cant Anthony Esterbazy, Lords Lilford, Templetoun,
and Ranelagh ; Lady S; Stewart, &c.

The benefit taken by Risley and his two sons on
Monday large, at. the Porte St. Martin, was tremendous.
Bouquets and plaudits ware showered upon the two children
to a fearful extent; One of the chief featurei of-the evening
was Elsaler's boko of last season, danced by Silvain and
Mademoiselle Camille deliciously. It created a perfect furor
among the Parisians assembled to see, as they supposed, the
last of tbepr9feigiT,Wllo, htmeTer,remainedwitil Saturday.
