THE RING'S THEATRE.

The Season closed at this Theatre on Saturday even-
ing.—Didone was the Opera given on the occasion, in
which Madame PASTA sustained the part of the unfor-
tunate Q seen in her usual superior stile. An announce•
ment stated that Madame Puzzt had been for some time
seriously indisposed ; but contrary to the advice of her
s'hysicians, she had resolved, rather than disappoint the
public, to appear. and trusted to their indulgence—
her song was consequently omitted. The other charac-
„Mrs in the Opera were counme autrefois. After the Opera
a general call was made for Madame Perris, who came
forward and was greeted with enthusiastic marks of
approbation from every part of the house. Considering
the lateness of the season we were surprised at the
number of fashionable: present. the Coup which
the Theatre presented was but little inferior to anything
we had previously witnessed.
Madame PASTA'S success at the King's Theatre du-
ring the present season is unezampled ; and although she
received a larger nightly salary than his been previously
given to any foreigner. the profits arising from her per-
formances have amply remunerated the proprietor.
