ENGLISH OPERA Houst.—This elegant Theatre opened last
evening for the season. The present Company, which inclu.frs
all those • ~ho have so frequently gratified the Public by the dis.
play of their various talents at this Theatre, is considerably
strengthened in the vocal department, by the addition uf Miss
CA Rix, Miss Pover, and a Mr. 3. licalsn, from Newcasce, wha
made a most successful cLbut. Af:er the rept-cent:Aim of T.:
Miller's Maid, which lows none o. its attraction by frequ:nt
petition, and in the exquisitely hoe acting of which Estrac,
T. P. COOKE, and Miss KELLY, never fail to produce tl:e
most powerful effect, a new Ops.relta was brought ex,
entitled, " Love among the Roses ; or, the illus.'er
The objects of this little Piece Wtf C fully achieved; the
were kept in a merry mood by many laughable ecuire.iass
and excellent puns, which were rewarded with the wa! me-t
hation. Mr. lhosoutilisr introduced the delightful song of
fain Lind Dasrie, 0. in the Vampire; it was loud!). encored. We
were happy to perceive the House was crowded, and have '-
doubt that throughout the season, the audies cc will have as niu:a
reason to express their satisfaction, as the Managers to conga-
tulate themselves upon their success.
