Rickard Caur de Lim was last night peifernspdw4
much success. Miss STEPHENS, in Matilda, receive.
• great applause. Her acting seemed to please hardly
less than her singing.
%After the Opera, a new Farce was produced, called,
4/ I riclins'i fair in Low." The chief object of the
intrigue is to obtain 4 will, which has deprived a.
young lady of a fortune. This delicate Demoiselle'
becomes a horse trooper, and tells marvellous tales of
taking foi-bt.t,2ss .s with cavalry, capturing millions of
dacats, and of having her legs shot off and sewed on
again. She.has a jealous lover; who becomes, first.
a footman, then a Doctor of Laws : the other per-
sonages are a count, who talks of his birth, and ..an
antiquated Baroness, who boasts of her youth and.
beauty. In this piece we are not dazzled with brilliant
repartees, nor greatly overpowered with the richness
of its hirmonr, but a vein of pleasantry runs through
the greater part of it, which entitles it to some favour.
It however met with but an indifferent reception.!--
When the curtain tell and it was announced for a so;
Bond representation, the opposition was loud bat rit
universal.
Every-thing that the author could .hope from the
exertions of the actors wits done in support of the
piece. Lima was, on this occasion, both in -dress
and deportment, happily preposterous, JONES as
MTS. DAVENPORT were frequently very successful.
and Miss Boom, to whom the most arduous task is
assigned, acquitted herself, with.great spirit and effect.
7712 Child of Nalure followed, in which a young lady
made her first appearance *as Amass:his. . She has
great personal advantages, and performed the thane-
.• ter in a chaste, easy, and fascinating manner. The
raptures of the audience were botindless. .

MUSICAL COIVTRO YE R sr.

Mr. G. F. Busby, son of Dr. Busby, gives a curl-
- bus account of a treaty he has recently carried on
With Monsieur Vallabrique, the husband of Madame
Cata;ani, whom the Doctor wished to engage to sing'
at his approaching patriotic Concerts. Several inter.,
. views and conferences took place respecting the ruin
the Lady should receive for her assistance. The 1
..;, treuchman modestly demanskdoue !millet- the whole
iiceipti of both Concerts. 'lbis was rejected ; and n
Bltinsieur being requested to name the sum at which;
• he valued the aid of his wife's abilities, he said.r.
' I. All! I, do not like mention de sum.-you say."--j
. • " )1 ` hundred guineas tor each perft-rmance."l.-
~
Iso Now I will t.-11 you—l will have five hundred gui.
-; *teas each day." These terms were also rejected by
- . Dr. Busby.—At another interview, Monsieur VA.
)AbriCitip said he would agree to no other terns than
• those of having half the receipts, out of which he
would pay the vocal performers, provided their de-
' wands were not exorbitant. Mr. Busby then remarked,
4" This is strange, -Monsieur! This morning you
asked 500 guineas per day, and now—" M. Val-
glabrique—,, Ah, no! I be too riche to do dat-..41
'id do what I do say, or no Madame Catalini;"+'
0 I will thank you, Monsieur, to give me a list of the
performers you propose, in this case, to proeide:"....-
M. Vallabrique. " Alt ! yes." He then, continues
• Mr. Busi,y, wrote their names ; when he came to
Mr. Braham {whim Is told him Dr. Busby had en.
gaged), he said, " What you give Braliam ?"..m.
" Thirty guineas for each day." He replied, " AA!
DrAharn he be von Jew !" The same qiestion was
made.regarding Signor Tramezzani ; and when Mr.
B. mentioned the sum that gentleman was to receive,
Monsieur smiled in derision.—Here this important ne.
gociation was entirely broken off. The following list
uf'vocal performers was presented by Monsieur Val-
labrique, with the prices annexed to each ;. from
is it seems that he took upon hititself to wppre.
ciate the comparative value of their talents : , 1
