NJlos GardcH.-The romantic drama of " Rob

50 attractive that it is t. be continued till further mo-

merits of this revival constrainedto once again
observe that seldom has the piece been so admirably
done in all respects at this house. Especially well
do the Rob Roy, the Bailie, and the Dougal crea-
ture" hold their own, and indeed, win new favor
every night.
II may he out Of place to mention here that the
leader of the orchestra, Mr.. Wyette, though young
and of comparatively small experience seems to COM
prtheud that seldom-gratiei desire of the public for

willing to crafty and satisfy his audiences blythe per-
formance of familiar strains rather than perpetuay to
weary them by unwclcome aud uuihtelligible musical
absrusities after the fashion of too many orchestral
directors. We consider Mr.. Wyette a musical DIS
