HAYMARKET THEATRE

Miss Lend and Miss Wells last night came out at this
Theatre, as the Cousin, Almavive and Swum, in the
favourite opera of The Marriage of Faro. Both ladies,
as they respectively appeared, were cootrddia ly greeted by the
audience, and both finally escaped the perils of the " fiery
ordeaL" Mies Land, on her entree' t being " her first
appearance on any stage," Will fora short time a little em-
bummed, which, however, we in part attribute to the length
and etubbermices of her train, which, like Jaques' sword,
" bad a mind to trip up her nobility." In her drat scene
she acquitted herself with tolerable felicity in the duet
with !masse, wherein she dictates the letter and after-
wards in the concerted pieces. She introduced, for such is
now the universal fashion, and the delightful compositions
of Mozart, as is here proved, are not secure against such
profanation—Bishop's Bid use discourse," in which she
was loudly etouteeL Her voice, we think, has but little
power or eweetness ; but she seems expert as a musician,
and makes the most of it. Miss Land is stated to be a mice
of Mrs Listen who, with his family, including his intended
son-in-law, Mr. Rodwell, were present to witness her debut.
Miss Wells, who in figure and face is something between
Miss Stephens and Mrs. Wayleu, is from the Dublin Thea-
tre, where she is said to have been a coosiderable favourite.
Her performance of last night we regard as one of grates
premise than that of Miss Land, because she has seem-
ingly more to learn, and has greater qualifications is
voice and person. Her Susanna was playfully ens.

too stout In the interim, will make hers very pigment little
actress. Mist. Humby played Cherubimo with her scene.

mind but too visibly shows that she speaks by rote. Harley
is the quintessence of Figaros • bet where, and for what
purpose did he provide himself with those suguinary
gloves ? " What bloody Beene has Rowing then to act ?"'
Vining's Count Absentee Is not quite our beau ideal of that
character, but, " as times go, upon an average, and compara-
tively speaking," as Matthews's Miss Eupheinie Blight
says. he may pass muster. Anionic., the gardener, was
played plushly by Mr. J. Cooper. from the Olympic, his
first appearance on'this stage. The Widow Bewitched fol-
lowed, in which Firren, Vining, Webster, and Miss Sid-
ney, elicited great applause. Spring and Autumn con-
cluded the night's entertainment. There was a tolerably
Food house, and the opera was given out for repetition on
Tuesday next.

COSMORAMA, REGENT-STREET.
This exhibition is at present composed of seven new views,
of considerable interest. Three of these are alpine, tepee
seating Mont Blanc, Mont St. Gothard, and Mont t. Ber-
nard, which, although not painted in the best style of art,
being crude and inharmonious in their colouring, present
nevertheless wry impressive representations of their stn.
pendous ()dike's. Mont Blanc is seen from the village of
Sallenche, with so desolate an aspect that it is most difficult
to conceive bow the foot of man could ever scale its snow-
covered and almost perpendicular ascents. If this view of
the Sc. Bernard and its convent be correct, the scene at
Covent-garden Theatre, in IVapolson, is altogether fictitious.
The falls of the Reuss at St. tiotbard are well imitated—the
water rolls down, the clouds wow above the rocky gulf, and
woody want the sound of many waters to make the illusion
complete. The view of the Pyramids is painted in a snore
masterly style than those we lure mentioned. The confla-
in Edinburgh at might is ingeniously managed.
Erkethn interior of the cathedral of Cologne is the most perfect
of ill the views,—indeed it is in such subjects that this
Morainic art is most successful We have here the effect of
riy, and-we feel not slightly indebted to the wand which
can dras coojave op before our eyes those suave temples of
Christianity, which are not only so awe-inspiring in their
natural effect, but which breathe forth the reminiscences of a
thousand years.
