HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Lait night will be long rememLered in the annals of
her Majesty's Theatre as the night of the debut of Signor
Moriani, the greatest tenor who has appeared on these
boards for many a long day, and whose popularity, if
we mistake not, will exceed even that of Rubini. The voica
of Signor Moriani is the most astonishing we Ir;ve ever
heard; in clearness, depth, and power, it is equal to that
of Donzelli in his best days; in expression and flexibility-
: it is quite equal to that of Rubini; and in comp .ss it is
equal to both—that is to say Moriani's compass in the
lover notes is quite as low as the compass of Donzelli,
while in the upper notes he reaches as high as Rubini,
and that in his natural voice. Strictly speaking Moriani
has no falsetto, although his compass is quite as great
is the compass of those who make a free use of their
falsetto. Last night, fur instance, in the character of
Edgardo, in Lucia di Lammermoor, the character chosen
for his debut, in the passage in the last :cene—
Fra poco a me rieov, ro, ' he begins with what in ordinary
voices would be called a falsetto note, but he goes down,
note by note, fairly into the pure voce di pelt° without
:he slightest break; so that what inother voices would be
'falsetto note is in his a natural note. If he has therefore
falsetto voice, it is impossible to say where the natural
-oice ends and the falsetto voice begins. E, (lowed by
tature with this wonderful organ, he has cultivated it to
he highest pitch of perfection. Nothing can exceed the
ritensity of passion x hich he throws into its thrilling
ones; and it is not is expressive tenderness and thrilling
pathos alone that he is great. Indignation, rage, des-
are equally at his command, and he is as
great an actor as he is a singer. His per-
son is fine and commanding, his features clas- •
sical and expressive, and his demeanour at one im-
passioned and majestic. Never had the hero of high
Tagedy a more appropriate representative. When he
came in in the last scene, dressed in deep mourning,
and inveloped in bis large mantle, we were forcibly
:truck by the resemblance which he bore to Sir Thomas
Lawrence s portrait of John Kemble in the character of
Hamlet. He is certainly the finest Edgard() we have
aver seen. We prefer him even to Rubini. In Rubini's
performance we wereastonished and delighted at the mar-
vellous tact which he exhibited in avoiding the difficul..
ties of the part; in Moriani's performance we are more
astonished and more delighted at the manner in
which those difficulties are fairly met and con-
quered. • He was called for at the conclusion of
each act, and when the curtain full he had twice to make
his appearance lx,fore the audience—a compliment which
he appropriately acknowledged. He was admirably sup-
oorted by Persiani, as Lucia, and Fornasari, as Enrico.
Ile performances were for the benefit of Perrot, and we
were glad to see that the house was crowded to excess.
We are sorry, however, to add, that inconsequence of a
severe strain of the leg, Perrot was unable to make his
sppearance, and in consequence the ballet of Ztlia was
~urtailed of its fair proportions.

11ANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.

%{ADEMOISELLE JULIA lIEINKE'S CONCERT.

This concert took place on Wednesday evening, at her
Aajesty's Concert-rooms, Hanover-square. and a most
'elightful concert it was. Among the vocal performers
re had Madame Castellan, Miss Duval, Madame de
Sfanara, Mr. Weiss, and Signor Murros. The latter
4entleman was deservedly encored in Donizetti's heauti-
,al romance, " Una furtiva lagrima," from
rAutore. Among the instrumentalists the fair benficiaire
'-ierself performed I)ohter's grand fan•asia, from airs in
llenedict's opera of the Gipsy's Warning. with great
-este, and exhibited considerable powers of execution.
the is a most promising artist, and does great credit to
tier instructor, Mr. Moscheles. The grand pianoforte
•_•oncertanti, " Hommage a Beethoven," was magniti-
....ently given by Mademoiselle Julia Heinke, 1). Men-
,elssolin, and Mr. Moscheles. At the commencement of
:he second part, Herr Sachse performed a bravura
in the trumpet. This gentleman is the most
extraordinary performer on the trumpet we have
ever heard. The trumpet in his bands becomes
s solo instrument,
.capable of every variety of
expression. 'His performance is certainly most won-
leen!, and not less pleasing than wonderful. The star of
the evening, however, was Herr Gulomy, first violinist to
the Emperor of Russia, who made his first appearance in
this country last evening, and performed a grand fan-
tasia by Lipinsky, on airs from "La Cmerentola."
His performance was exquisite, there was no attempt nt
trickery everything was done in the most elegant,
and at the same time in the most perfect, manner. lie
was superb—the sweetness of his tones exceeded any-
tiling we have ever heard. He is one of the most
legitimate violin performers we have ever heard. The
concert altogether was one of the most delightful of the
season.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERS ALL'S.-YESTERDAY .
THE LATE DERBY.

Pursuant to the Judge's order obtained on Monday
last, Colonel Peel's solicitor, accompanied by Mr. Field,
Mr. Mayor, and two other veterinary surgeons, and
everal persons, for the purpose of identification, pro-
ceeded to Epsom yesterday with the intent to see and
examine Running Rein. Full particulars of what took
place we have not been able to collect; but it was stated
:n the subscription room, that Mr. A. Wood, the owner
,f the horse was " not at home," and on application to
his trainer Mr. Smith, he refused to show the horse with-
out an order from the owner; thus exposing himself to
the usual penalty for contempt of court. The effect of
this refusal was to incrca e the odds on Orlando from
5 to 2, taken several times in the early part of the day to
3 to 1, offered.

BROTHELS SUPPRESSION BILL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

cannot refrain offering.you my most sincere
thanks for exposing the hypocrisy of the Bishop. of
Gloucester and Co., in reference to the brothels gill in
existence in the Almonry, Westminster.
The poor Bishops, true to the spirit of their brethren,
the Pharisees of old, are very free in condemning the
vices of their parishioners, though they are themsehes
in secret the encouragers of vice and infamy. There
was, indeed, a great show of %ileum's indignation in
their brethren when they exposed the guilt of the
adulteress ; but how sudden, how great a. change all at
once ! Behold they are ail adulterers—they all dwelt in
glass hou,es ! These successors of the Pharisees may
appear very goodly to men, but, how hateful such conduct
in the sight of Jehovah ! How is it, Sir, that West-
minster is in such a deplorable state ? Is it not because
her watchmen are what the Prophet calk greedy dogs,
who love to slumber ? is it that ever) house is not
visited by this cluster of parsons ?. How is it that they
preach not the Gospel from door to door, like our Lord
and his Apostles ! Is it not because they are of their
father, the Des it ? " I went the field of the slothful,
and by the vineyard of the HUM void of understanding,
and lo it was all grown 4iver with thorns, and nettles had
covered the face thereof, atel the .5:0110 wall thereof was
broken down."—Prov. xxiv, 30. _

Oh, Sir, cease not to expose this den of th:eves. Let
the bright beams of the daily Sun shine continually oa
that dark spot, till it be condemned by an universal cry
of disgust, and till those Achanites are banished from
their stewardship.—l am, &c.,
JOHN THOROUGEIGOOD, a Churchman.
