Nearly all tho men, and many of the boys, smoke

article SO well known in this country, tho Ger.

somo instances the national felt hat still keeps
its place; in shape this is not unlike tho beaver
worn in this country in the early period of the reign
of Charles II. The crown is conical and tho brim
slouched. The upper garment is of blue linen,
sort of cross between tho French blouse and tho
English smock frock. Altogether, the appearance
of the men is picturesque than that of the Eng
lish peasant. The dress of Che women approximate
very closely to that worn few generations since by
the women in the rural parts of Ireland; the poti

RY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND.-The commit
tee have come to the determination to have ne
anniversary dinner this year. which will doubtless
benefit the General Theatrical Fund dinner, which
takes place on tho 9Th of next month.
Mr.. Bunn's benefit, on Wednesday evening, was
bumper.
A new comic opera, by Mr.. Henry Smart, tho
lbretto by Mr.. Fitzball, is to be produced Mr. and
Mrs. Sims Reeves are to take the leading characters
ITALIAN OPERA.-The orchestra of Covent Gar
den is richer and moro brilliant than over, having
been reinforced by additions less potent than
Signori Piatt and Bottesin, pair of artists whose
incorporation into all our best orchestras is among
the greatest gains made by music, in England, for
many years past. The chorus, too which last year
was certainly weaker than formerly, seems restored
to its old efficiency. The stage arrangements are
liberal and handsome-too liberal, to our fancy, in
one article; mean the ballet introduced in 'sMa-
ria di Rohan," the opera chosen for the opening
night. This though gaily dressed and fairly danced
with Mdlle Robert from the Academic as ssstar'')
generally felt to be too long, and its effect hard
ly worth tho cost Of preparation. On tho whole,
however, we have rarely seen an opera season be-
gin with more welcome signs Of spirit and promises
of prosperity. Never was Sgnor Ronconi in greater
force, in higher finish, in better voice, than this day
week; never was he more warmly appreciated He
was ably seconded, too-since Madame CASTELAR,,
though not a high tragic actress, is pleasing and
careful as Maria, and sings with increased execution
and purity Of information. Signor Tamberlik, appa-
rently none the worse for his northern winter, is
well placed in Chaais. In one or two Of his closes
he sang rather wildly, but was throughout the
opera, fervid, energetic, and sympathetic artist.
In the little part Of Gondi, Of which Mdlle.
Alboni vocaly made SO much, a contralto,
Mdlle. Theresa Scguin. surprised the audience.
This young lady is obviously unused to the stage,
and we have rarely seen new conner more sincerely
fearful. But we have seldom, if ever heard finer,
sweeter, and evener voice Of its class than hers 1t
is two octaves. il not more, in compass, from to
q, and appears to have been trained according to
good method. Her expression is good. Though
perfectly unknown when the curtain rose, Mde.
eegun made that impression on the audience which
is unmistakeable.
Signor Negrni new Italian tenor, who was
said in Mr.. Lumley's prospectus, to be in treaty
with Her Mnjesty's Theatre, turns out to be en-
gagged at the Italian Opera, where be will appear,
we suppose with Madame Gazzaniga, in 81 Martiri''
Of DOnzetti.
The evening before last " Guglielmo Tell :" was
performed, with Signor Ronconi the patro hero,
and Herr Anders, new tenor, as the Arnoldo. AS
much may DO said about this performance, we shall
defer a criticism till our next.
The QUEENS opened on Thursday, with sMaria
d R0han, in which the new artist, Signor Ferlotti,
performed the part of Chevreuse, and some ballet
entertainments, in which Madame Guy Stephan was
the principal dancer.
HAYMARKET. THE Brothers Brough are doing the

Objectionable tag at the end,-by which, on the first
night, the sympathy of the audience was sought to
Be conciliated for the subject killing monarch, was
omitted, -another speech being substituted, in which
the crafty king mountebank isproperly left in an UNI
repetant state of mind, and fully prepared to fol
low out his guilty triumph to its results This is
far artistic conclusion than the former abor-
tive change of mood, foreign to both the history
and the character.
Miss Emma Fest, who has been rapidly rising in
public favor, will take her benefit at that house. on
Wednesday evening. The performances will be the
tragedy of 1.-THE Ganester,' with the comedy OF
