TIIEATRZ"

Saturday night the season of the Lunnw
commenced, and with a degree of eclat and
liancy that kromises the Most successful results.
the Theatre is now lighted and ornamented, we d
whether any place appropriated to similar pur
in Europe, cat boast so de:ighful a coup _
chandelier, iliuminated by gas, which is suspended
from the centre of the roof, is a master-piecnnsf
gance. The Ora of Griselda was selected '
opening of the Theatre. The Music is by Pi
and deservedly holds a very high rank for
and harmony. Between the first and second
the Opera, a new Divertissement, entitled Le
de SanchoPanaa, composed by the new Ballet-Maker,
Monsieur FAVIER, was prodaced. Sancho Patna, on
his departure from his native • is honoured
with afete. His Commander, Don appears
on the stage in complete armour—and, before this
redoubtable pair, several excellent dances are exe-
cuted. Sancho himself also gave us " a taste of his
quality"—and proved that he possessed, in no common
degree, the talents necessary to constitute a good co-
mic dancer. The Divertissement is a pleasing trifle.
After the'Opera, a new Ballet, entitled .fctius et
Adele, which is also the production of Monsieur
FAVIER, was performed. On this occasion, Made-
moiselles COPIRE and Leasurrow, and Monsieur,

HULL/Y and TOL:SAINI, made their first appear-
ance is this country. Monsieur Litman is a graceful
dancer—decidedly the best of the groupe of *bawds.
Mademoiselle COPERE is a powerful and vigorous,
rather than a neat and elegant arts e. As a spe-
tacle, the Ballet is worthy ofgreat praise. Theacenery
is magn:ficent—the processions are well arranged—
and the combats are introduced jadiFigstaly, and are
skilfully managed. The Pyrrhic Dance was accu-
rately performed. The story on which the Ballet is
founded is excellently suited to the production of
dramatic effect, and Monsieur FAVISR has treated it
with much judgment.
The house was fully and fashionab:y attended ;
among the visitors were—
The Sp.ulisa Ambassador, the Bavarian DThlister, thebotes-
ler Marchioness of Lanodown, the Duke and Duchess of Leeds,
