of the Theatre last night was renvittable km the ',-
presentation of some of the adinirible perferis..i.tecs
which have been already so rt ple.e wid aftr .r.ton
during the present season. NIOZAItT'S g: • -id Up.ia

was repeated amid enthuse .saic app! .use, itod the
verflowing audience in every part of - house evi-
dently testitizd, by their universal call .o a repetiteon
of some of the beautiful airs in this ()pct.:, th..t the
charm which its representation imparts rest. in. ie
full force. Tile Opera was followed by a Riffs ace

When the curtain rose, the great are.. .
of this splendid I'heatre presented a m ~n been:
spectacle. The scenery represented an AFIA.4C tertsv,e,
in front of which stood a plain but elegant arc::, amt
some scattered columns. On the different battlements
of the temple were arranged the vocal and instru-
mental performers. The several members the
cos ft: draneaticue, male and female, then eotertrci in
procession, preceded by richly-ornamented Women,
bearing the royal initials, insignia, and (Wu .cruces.
The Whole band then struck up a gland It) ~drawn,
the effect of which was rendered pecuitai.y martial
and powerful by an accompaniment of St. Prussian
trumpets. The crash of sounds issuing Item pia-et-fa
instruments of this description, accompanied by the
usual orchestra of the Theatre with the most exact
accordance, had the grandest effect we ever witnessed.
The whole of the vocal company then advanced to
the front of the stage, and sung the following An-
bthesn, composed expressly for the occasion by Mr.
LULU, the Stage Manager, at the particular request
of. Mr. Waveits t the words by Dr. Da SANCTIta t

The Rdomilance was received with warm ar:srnba.
tion ; and when the fusel', ig Goy save the King,"
was sung, the rising of the whole audience completed
one of the most impressive combinations of sight and
sound that can be imagined.—The stage presented a
blaze of splendour, rising to a great height, in an
amphitheatrical form, and beautifully expanding and
connecting itself in the coals deli with the principal
circles in the Theatre which were lined by ladies of
the first rank and fashion, whose graceful and elegant
appearance kept up the splendour and gaiety of the
scene; and whether the eye rested on the stage or on
the audience, it felt.upon a fascinating and beautifully
arranged grouping.—From the view we tool: of the
number of persons on the stage, they could not be
less than from two to three hundred, the greater part
of them most elegantly dressed in the best costumes
of the Theatre. The Ballet of Figaro terminated the
performances for the season. We never saw tilt.
house more completely filled.• The pit was at an eirly
hour crowded to excess, and not a box without its
company. We really believe that there was scarcely
alashionable person in town absent. The Duke and
Duchess of CI3IBIIILAND entered the Theatre soots
after the Opera began. The Duke and Dircht•er of
Gtouctsrett, we hear, came to town last night, pqr-
posely to be present at the Opera.—lt is plea tint' to
see taste and merit thus encouraged and rewarded
the public and unequivocal patronage of the
ranks in the community.
