ORATORIO.

Drary•lane Theatre was crowded last night to its
uppermost seats, in consequence of the variety and
extellence of the n:usical selection, and of :he Admi-
rable talents engaged by Sir GRonoz SMART. In
addition to Mrs. SALMON, Miss GOODALL, Mr. Bat..
LAMY, Mr. GRAAM, Mr PVNF., Mr. TRIIRALL, &C.
the two elegant s;s:ers, the Misses Da Lulu, who have
so long been the charm of our select musical circles,
made their first piiblic appearance in London. On
their entrance into the Orchestra, in the first Ace. Mr.
BELLAsty rayed the indulgence of the audience in
favour of Mis, VICTORINR Da LIHU, who was suffer-
ing under a severe cold and hoarseness, but who would
endeavour to discharge her duty. This was received
with the most kind feeling for the young Lady. and
they sang a beau.iful Dnett. and afterwards the Ve.
netian Ballad, with that sweet taste which has enrap-
tured their hearers in society. The melhfitiotti voice
of Mrs. SALMON aN) gained her universal applause,
though she evidently laboured under a cold, and
which, but (or lier anxiety to avoi.l dis:worotnicnt,
would have confined her to lre charhber.
