HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Her Majesty's Theatre opened on Saturday evening for
the_season with_ a_new opera, a new company, and a new
manager. Mr. Lumley, who has undertaken the arduous
task of the management, is not, however, altogether un-
used to, or unacquaiated with, the manner in which the
affairs of this theatre have hitherto been conducted,
having been for some years the legal adviser and per-
sonal friend of poor Laporte. Ho could not have
studied in a better school, for it should never be
forgotten that it is to Laporte that we are in-
debted or our acquaintance with Grisi and Persiani ;
with Tamburini, Rubini, and Lablache; with Murio
and Coletti ; and in short, with all those who have, dur-
ing the last ten years', made ours the first Italian opera
in Europe. Mr. Lumley's programme promises well.
Grisi, Persiani, Lablache, and Murio are engaged. Tam-
burini's Italian engagements will prevent his appearing
in London this season ; but in the list of new aspirants
for public favour, we find the names of Ranoini, of Ma-
dame Frezzolini (the prima donna, par excellence, of Italy),
and Signor Poggi, in addition to those of Mademoiselle
Adelaide Moltini, Guasco, and Santi, who made their
appearance on Saturday evening. The opera chosen for
the opening was Donizetti's Gemma Di Vergy. The scene
is laid at the castle of the Count De Vergy, near Arles,
and the action is supposed to take place about the year
1428. The Count De Vergy (Santi), one of the nobles
of Charles VII. of France, has been long married to
Gemma (Mademoiselle Moltini), but their union is child-
less. At a tournament at Arles, he sees and loves Ida di
Greville (M. Bellini). He dispatches Rolando (Galii) to his
faithful steward Guido (Panzini) at the castle, with
orders to break to Gemma the tidings that she is no
longer the Countess de Vergy, as he (the Count) has
divorced her, and intends marrying Ida. Tamas
(Guasco), an Arab, who had been taken prisoner by
Rolando in Palestine, and who is passionately, though
secretly in love with Gemma, on hearing Rolando de-
liver his message to Guido, bursts out into passionate
imprecations against the Count. Rolando rushes at him
with his dagger, when Gemsna makes her appearance,
and calms the tumult. She is left alone with Guido,
who breaks to her the heart-rending intelligence of her
husband's intentions. In the next scene we find Tomas
with a bloody dagger, with which he has just stabbed
Rolando. The sound of trumpets announcing the arrival
of the Count, Tamas leaves the dagger on a table
and rushes out. The Count enters, finds the bloody
dagger, and imagines that Gemma has stabbed herself.
Guido, however, enters, and informs him of what has
taken place. Tamas is arrested, and condemned to die.
Gemma enters, and, with her ladies, begs his life may
be spared, and the Count grants the request. She then
implores the Count not to divorce her, recals to his me-
mory his former vows to her : he is on the point of
yielding, when the music announcing the approach of
Ida is heard. The Count casts off Gemma, who impre-
cates vengeance on his head, and Tamas secretly vows
to revenge Gemma's wrongs upon the Count. A trio
in this scene, "Un suo sguardo," exquisitely sung
by Guasco, Santi, and Mademoiselle Moltini,
was loudly applauded, and, in obedience to
the unanimous call of the house, repeated. In the
second act we find Ida preparing for her nuptials. She
is sitting alone in herchamber, and Gemara enters dressed
in deep mourning. Ida, surprised, asks who she is, and
Gemma replies that she was Gemma's attendant. Ida
observes that her mournful garb little suits with the
splendour of the approaching nuptials, and commands her
to leave the room. Gemma replies that it is not yet time.
What prevents you ? asks Ida. The wife of 1)e Vergy—
(DiVergy la moglie) is the reply; uttering which,
Gemma seizes her rival, and dragging her for-
ward, reproaches her with having seduced the
affections of De Vergy ; Ida calls for assistance, and
Gemma, drawing a dagger, holds it to Ida's breast, and
commands her to be silent. The Count rushes in with
his sword drawn, but Gemma, threatening to stab Ida
if he advances a step, commands him to throw his sword
on the ground; he obeys. She is about to stab Ida, when
Tamas rushes in and disarms her. In this scene
Mademoiselle Moltini exhibited histrionic powers of the
highest order. She seemed to revel in all the luxury
of revenge, and her reproaches to her faithless husband
were given with terrific energy. and truthfulness. The
next scene takeS place in the antichamber of the chapel in
which are being celebrated the nuptials of DeVergy and Ida.
Gemma enters, and is speedily followed by Tamas,
who has watched all her proceedings. He urges
her to fly—she rejects him with scorn ; she sees the
nuptial ceremony proceeding in the chapel, and, stung
to madness, consents to fly even with Tamas rather than
remain, and bear the cruel insults of her rival. The
duet with which this scene closes, " Taci parto, lo
schiavo fedele," is the gem of the opera, and was exqui-
sitely given by Guasco and Mlle. Moltini. Gemma, left
to herself, becomes calmer; aspirations for revenge give
place to holier thoughts, and she determines to enter a
cloister. The attendants on the nuptials rush from the chapel
in confusion. De Vergy has been stabbed at the altar by
lamas, who proclaims that love for Gemma induced
him to do the deed. She turns from him with horror,
and he exclaiming—" I have avenged thee: I die"—( Ti
vendicai morro")—stabs himself, and the curtain falls.
Such is the plot of this opera—a plot, to the capabilities
of which, we regret to say, Donizetti has done anything
but justice. Common-place as Donizetti's music gene-
rally is, the music of this opera is more than usually so,
there is not a single original idea from the beginning
to the end, and with the exception of the duet and
trio to which we have alluded, there is nothing
noticeable in it. It was successful—very successful—but
its success was owing partly to the interest of the sub-
ject, but more to the exertions of Mademoiselle Moltini
and Guasco, who possess. powers: of a very high order,
and who exerted themselves to the utmost. Mademoi;•
selle Moltini is young and very pretty; with a most ex-
quisitely formed hand and arm; in person she reminds us
very much of la diva Sontag. Her voice, which is a pure
soprano of great power, is exquisitely sweet and highly
cultivated. Guasco is in person tall, his countenance is very
expressive, and his voice, which is highly cultivated, is
a full and rich tenor. As an actor, also, he is entitled to
high rank. Mademoiselle Moltini aria Guasco were both
called for at the fall of the curtain, and received those
plaudits which they had so richly merited by their ex •
ertions. The new Ballet of • Giselle au Les Wilis fol-
lowed, with Carlotta Grisi and Perrot as the hero and
heroine.

The following placard was handed round the house:—
" HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

" Saturday, March 12, 1842.
" The indulgence of the Nobility, subscribers to the
opera, and the public, are respectfully requested in behalf
of M. Perrot, who is suffering from a severe pain in the
leg, but to prevent a total disappointment, has most
kindly consented to appear."
His apology, however, was unnecessary, for Perrot
went through his part with his usual grace and agility,
while Carlotta Grisi seemed the very " Muse of the
many twinkling feet." The scenery was beautiful and
the ballet was completely successful. The National An-
them was sung between the opera and the ballet. The
house was very well filled, the audience being more nu-
merous than is generally the case on the opening night.

SUN OFFICE, Three o'clock.

By command of her MAJESTY papers have been pre-
sented to Parliament relative to the moneys received by
that most original of diplomatists, Captain ELLIOT, by
way of ransom for the city of Canton, taken by the
British troops on the 27th of May last. These papers
are so entirely in character that we regret we cannot
publish them at full length, instead of making extracts
from them. The most ludicrous feature of the case was,
that when the Convention between Captain ELLIOT and
the Chinese authorities relative to Canton was ratified,
the British Officers on the spot could not understand it,
and after the money remitted to England reached the
Treasury, neither the Lords of that department, nor
the Noble Foreign Secretary, could tell for what pur-
pose it was received or remitted. Upon the first of
these points, we beg to quote a letter addressed to Cap-
tain ELLIOT, by the justly lamented and gallant Captain
SENHOUSE. It is dated the heights above Canton, May
28, 1841 :

Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge your Excellency's
joint letter, of the 27th May, to Sir Hugh Gough and myself,
• transmitting the arrangement your Excellency has concluded
with the officers of the Chinese Government, and also a copy
of the full authority given to Kwang-Chow-Foo to act for
the Chinese Commissioners.

In perusing very attentively the document your Excellency
has been pleased to transmit, I cannot avoid considering that
the terms of the arrangement must appear to an unprejudiced
person, ignorant of local circumstances, more as a settlement
for a general peace rather than conditions proposed, discussed,
and agreed to, for the sole purpose of delivering the city of
Canton, from the penalties of actual occupation. In the autho-
rity given to the Kwang-Chow-Foo by the Commissioners,
they clearly state that the English Plenipotentiary, being will-
ing to observe a truce and make arrangements for peace, they
therefore, appoint the Kwang-Chow.Foo to conduct the details
of the pacific arrangement and settlement. Now it was not the
British Minister who applied for a truce, for it was the Chinese
officer who came with a lag of truce to the walls, declared to
Sir Hugh Gough and myself that they were not willing to fight
any more, and, therefore, wished to see the British chiefs.
The articles themselves make no mention ofthe money being
paid as a ransom for the town, nor is any mention made of these
conditions being confined to the province of Kwangtung.
On the contrary, it is well known that the Chinese authori-
ties extended your Excellency's former declaration, that the
English wanted nothing but trade on the old footing, to the
further settlement of a definitive peace, although in your Ex-
cellency's own understanding the arrangement was limited to
Canton; and the Commissioner Kwang in his private letter
said, that you have stated that your nation wanted nothing but
trade on the old footing, and invited you to commence nego-
tiations for a definitive peace.
The sum to be given up being similar to the sum offered to
be given for opium, and the introduction of the affair of the
Bilbaino, unite in inducing to an unprejudiced and uninformed
person, that the arrangement is more intended for a general
pacification, which would appear a very poor compensation for
all the insults and injuries we have received, than an acknow-
ledgment of the vanquished to the conqueror in the hour of
victory. I therefore beg, for the information of my Comman-
der-in-Chief and their Lordships of the A.imiralty, to know
whether the arrangement is decidedly a ransom for the city of
Canton, to save it from the consequences of legal warfare ;
leaving out entirely the question of remuneration, compensa-
tion, and security for the future, so long mooted, or for other
purpose.
I ask it to maintain the national honour and the credit of
the British flag, that the success of the British arms in laying
the city of;Canton at the feet of the Queen's forces may not be
hereafter questioned, without certain contradiction.
(Signed) H. L. SENHOUSE, Captain, Senior Officer.

This letter seems to have nettled the Plenipotentiary
a good deal. He must have seen from it that meritorious
officers would no longer charge themselves with the ri-
dicule and the disgrace of his blunders. Accordingly,
on the 2d of June, he answers officially :
" Whilst I am unable to perceive the necessity for your com-
munication of the 28th ultimo, upon the ground that the late
arrangement at Canton can by any possibility or in any quarter
be construed into a general settlement of the questions at issue
between the two Governments, I certainly can have no hesita-
tion in officially declaring. that it has reference only t• the re-
lief of this city and province from pressure which could not
continue to be applied, casting ruin and distress upon a vast
unoffending population, at incalculable inconvenience to our
own well-understood interests, in forgetfulness-of her Majesty's
gracious purposes, and in defiance of the temper and feeling of
the British nation upon all such subjects.
We now come to the ignorance which Captain ELLIOT
allowed to prevail at home as to how he obtained the
ransom money. In a letter from the Lords of the
Treasury to the Foreign-office, dated the 2nd of Novem-
ber, we find the following :
Having submitted to the Lords Commissioners of her
Majesty's Treasury your Lordship's letter of the 28th ultimo,
enclosing a despatch from Captain Elliot, her Majesty's
Plenipotentiary in China, in which he reports the payments in
money and securities received from the Chinese Government,
I have it in command from the Lords Commissioners of her
Majesty's Treasury to request you will state to the Earl of
Aberdeen, that it would be satisfactory to my Lords, if some
information could be furnished by Lord Aberdeen as to the
grounds on which the money in question was demanded, and
paid either by the Chinese Government or the authorities in
Canton.

To which, on the part of Lord ABERDEEN, the following
reply is given :
I am to state to you in reply, for the information of their
Lordships, that Captain Elliot's despatches to the Secretary of
State contain no explanation whatever of the grounds on which
this payment was demanded or received by him from the
Chinese authorities ; and there is only one expression in those
despatches which has any bearing whatever on that point.
Captain Elliot, in allusion to the quantity of tea, which had
just been shipped from. Canton, says_" The indemnity just
recovered from the Chinese is, perhaps, rather more than
double the charges
,and duties they had received from the
trade of the season: '

With his usual luck, however, Capt. ELLIOT hit upon
an expedient for getting rid of part of the money, and of
getting himself into a new scrape. In the plenitude of
Plenipotentiary power he had drawn Opium Bills upon
the Treasury in favour of DENT and Co., to the amount
of upwards of sixty-three thousand pounds, which bills
were dishonoured when the Government refused to re-
cognise the opium contract. When, however, the Sycee
silver ransom of Canton was placed at his disposal his Ex-
cellency magnanimously paid these bills. But now comes
the unpleasant part of the business. The Lords of the
Treasury have decided that the ransom is a droit of the
Crown, and therefore that every shilling of it, except
what is paid in gratuities to the officers and men at the
discretion of her MAJESTY, must be handed over to the
Consolidated Fund, to be dealt with by Act of Par-
liament. This places poor Captain ELLIOT in a very sad
predicament, from which it will require an Act of Par-
liament to relieve him.

The House of Commons, being dissatisfied with the
first returns, ordered on the 7th instant copieq of any
additional communications from Captain ELLIOT, " ex-
plaining or having any bearing upcm " his mysterious
transactions with the Chinese authorities, addressed by
him to the Foreign-office. To this order a return has just
been made, consisting of an extract from a letter
dated " 55, Cadogan-place, 25th of January, 1842," and
addressed by Captain ELLIOT to Lord ABERDEEN, which,
if possible, involves the question of the object of the
ransom in still greater mystery. All that the Gal-
lant ex-Plenipotentiary says about it is, that knowing
there was a good sum of money in the imperial
treasury at Canton, he thought he could not do
better than get it, and having gotten it he was satisfied !
Taking the whole of Captain ELLIOT'S career in China,
and overlooking the cost which his blundering hast cost,
and will yet cost this country, we must say that it ex-
hibits the richest specimen of the farce of diplomacy ever
acted on the theatre of this world. In his best days
GRIMALDI was a bore dompared with the Plenipotentiary
ELLIOT.

The Parliamentary Report of the conversation be-
tween Sir ROBERT PEEL and Mr. SHIEL relative to the
occupation of Algiers, which appeared in The Sun, dif-
fered in a word or two, which did not in the slightest
particular affect the meaning of the conversation, from
the report of our morning Contemporaries. To soothe
the self-love of the French, which was very much
wounded by the Report, the French Government com-
pelled the Journals which copied it from The Sun to
re-copy it from the other papers, wishing thereby to-
create an impression that all reports of speeches disa-
greeable to France were liable to be erroneously
reported. The ruse of the Government has not been
understood by the Ministerial Press, for the Journal des
Debats has thought proper to caution the French public
against the reports in The Sun, as garbled to suit party
purposes. " In England as in France," says the Debats,
" there are Journals which make it a point of honour
and patriotism to sow the seeds of hatred and defiance
between the two countries, by irritating and keeping

alive national prejudices. The Radical Journal
Soo, is cf that number. It is filled with an Os
animosity against France, and it is from it—whieß

the proceedings in the English Parliament. It is.not
