KlNo's THEATRE.—The new Opera of Zelmira was
repeated at this Theatre on Saturday evening ; and the
House (the pit particularly) was very fully attended. A
delay between the divertissement and the last act of the
opera produced some symptoms of disapprobation ; but
a bow from Rosana set all to rights. The opera, by its
curtailments, is rendered lighter, but is still too lung.
Madame COLBRAN sang with considerable sweetness.
The dancing on Saturday evening, which was excellent,
was strengthened by the assistance of the new debutante
Mademoiselle LE Gans, who appears to have entirely
got the better of her accident. The whole of the per-
formances a ere over at a quarter before 12 r,'clock.
