ENGLISH OPERA HOUSL•
This Theatre commenced its campaign on Sattirdaf
night, under the auspices of a distinguished leaders
and with such a well-disciplined force as must ensure
its triumphant success, in spite of the heavy attacks of
the batteries on the north, and the slitmishing of the
light trr:ops on every side. But to drop metaphor, the
Theatre. Royal English Opera House was opened on
Saturday night, and the performances commenced with
that admirable Newgate Pas'oral—the Beggar's Opera,
which, we are sorry to say, has in this age of prudery
been somewhat shorn of its beams. On this occasion,
two new performers made their debut. Tie one,
Mr. Tswana, is not wholly unknown to the London audiences
from his having sung in the Oratorios some time ago. Ile has,how-
ever,we believe, never presented himself in the character of an actor
until Sat utday. when he appeared as Chptain Mitheath, in the Arzer's
Opera. Ilia voice is agreealle, and he was encored in several of
his songs. Miss STEIHEN/6 played Pully,and sang most delightfully:
and Miss Kin.cv in Lary, gave another proof of what nobody J
doubts, that she is one of the most genuine actresses of the present
day. Miss GOWNED, the debutante, appeared as Radius, in the opera
of that title. She is young, of a 'slender figure. and with intelligent
features. ller voice is pretty, and after she had overcome the first
embarrassments of her entrance, she went through the part very
successfully. She sang the songs in a simple unaffected manner,
which deserved the applause she received. It is dangerous to pro-
phecy at first appearances, but we may, neversheless. venture to
say, that this young Lady promises to make a very fair actress.—
Mr. Tstoetst played Beleilk, in such a manner as to confirm the fa-
vourable opinion which his Mediated had excited. Miss Kelly's
Pk** was as arch and cunning a display. of rustic coquetry as can
be imagined. Mai Grnvoao played little Piekte in the Child
very well indeed. Mr. Ton-max. in Tag, which is his best part,
was irresistibly ludicrous. It is true. he is not like anything in
nature, nit Is OR/VALHI, nor perhaps Luray; but he can make as
many, and as ugly grimaces, as either of those eminent distorters
of the human tare divine.
