ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.
Thai was a second representation of French Plays
at this Theatre last .1 ight. e three' pieces were, Ls
Jenne Femme Colere, Leonide, and Les Moitooires Teter,
a selection which displayed much taste and judgment.
They have each that liveliness and rapidity which form's
thereat charm cf the Vaudeville. ‘Slizlit in plat, and
almost barren in incident, they still afford opportuiiities,
which are never lust by the performers. for intro e,ting
anJ delighting the audience in a degree not surpassed
by the more sqlid prrcluvions of dramatic art. Messrs: •

Marquis's family prove the gratitude of our warm,
hearted cduntrymen to those from whom they receive
marks of kindi,ess and attention; and, indeedr.vie most

the country. We tear there is little doubt of his speedy
departure; and, whatever may be the consequence to
the city of Dublin and the country at large, he wiU be
long held in grateful remembrance by the Irish natipu.

and sundry other productions of divers composers. Miss
Faros appeared as Patty, and gave her songs with an
effect so deligh.ful that *e could not but regret that,
since the selection appeared so much at her own disposal,
she would nut have preferred to display her powers on
compositions much more worthy cf them. • .
