COVENT.GARDEN THEATRE.

Miss Hughes attracted a full house on Saturday
night, to witness the fine oldEnglish:Opera Of Artax-
erxes, in Nthich she undertook the part of Maredane.
As a singer she possesses first-rate qualifications,
though there is a certain something in the lower
tones of her voice—not altogether distasteful—but
quivering acid irregular, which subtracts in no slight
degree from the pleasure inspired by her abilities.
She bids fair, however, to become a dangerous rival
even to Miss Paton, whose science and good taste
she almost equals. Her execution of the " Soldier
tired" (that most difficult and complicated piece of
music) was marked by unusual spirit and distinct-
ness, and deserved, what it obtained, an enthusiastic
encore. Sapio was the Arboory of the evening, and
rendered the character a very so-do'sort of concern.
31r. Isaacs, as Artabanes, possessed that peculiar
excellence which characterizes a perfect pun
hie
was execrable. His manner—his addregs--his
science, and even his voice, savoured strongly of the
pot-house ; and it needs no very extensive imagina-
tion to conceive that the character be represented,
or rather vulgarised, must have had but a limited
acquaintance with the tap-room. We hope, for
own sake, that Mr. Isaacs will not again attem:.
performance so far above his questionable mediocr
The rest of the characters were,
as usual, respectßli•i
sustained.

His MAJESTY has, in return for the present
of the Cameleopard from the Pacha of EeyrT, sent over a
buck and doe of the red and' of the fallow dear ;species, all
fine specimens of the breed.
