usual taste and sweetness; he was vehemently applauded in his last
air, and would no doubt have been encored, but for the length of the
composition. Sapio, who made his first appearance after three years
absence, sang as well as we ever recollect to have heard him ; but his
acting was so bad as nearly to esdanger the success of the Opera :— •
he was shamefully imperfect in his part, an inexcusable fault. 1'bere
is no great novelty in the plot, of which the following is a sketch : —
The Count of Viterbo, (Phillips^ has been by the treachery of his
servant, Pietro, (Salter) denounced as an enemy to the government,
declared an outlaw, and a price set on bis head. When the Opera
commences he is about to quit his castle, to escape from a party of
soldiers, who are sent to take him prisoner, and leaves his daughter,
THE THEATRICAL OBSERVER,
Laura, (Miss Betts) under the charge of his Castellain, (Mr. Russell)
and desires she may pass for his daughter. Roberto, the RobberChief,
(Perkins) who had formerly been a vassal of the Count, but had been
driven from the castle for aspiring to the hand of Laura ; comes to
save the Count, but extorts an oath from Laura that she will become
his bride, provided he saves her father's life. Fernando, (Sapio) the
officer who commands the troops sent to arrest the Count, discovers
in Laura a lady whom he had once saved from death, and to whom he
is fondly attached ; Laura returns his love, but bound by her oath to
the Robber is in the utmost despair. At length the Robber, touched
by her distress, proves the generosity of his affection by resigning her
to Fernando, and news arriving that the usurping government is su-
perseded by the lawful Sovereign, the Count is restored to his hon-
ours and the lovers are united. There are two or three other characters,
Tiz. Gianetta, (Miss Cawse) an attendant, and Carlo, (Thorne) who
both did all in their power towards the success of the piece. The
most effective piece of music, was a glee by the robbers , this was a
delightful composition, and was enthusiastically encored. The Opera
was announced for to-night and Saturday amidst great applause.—
He " Lies like Truth followed, in which Mr. Wrench, as Rattler, kept
the audience in one continued roar of laughter throughout the piece.—
The house was full.

The new grand Opera of The Robber's Bride, was perforraed here ,
for the second time, last night. The greatest praise is due to Mr.
Hawes for the very ahle and effective manner in which he has produced
this Opera ; but we much doubt if it will ever be very popular. The
music is too elaborate and scientific for a theatrical audience, and is
unrelieved by any of those melodies which strike at once the most un-
musical auditor, and which linger upon the ear after quitting the The-
atre. The chornsses are all powerfully effective, and are given with a
correctness which reflects great credit on Mr. S. Wesley, jun the con-
ductor of the chorusses. We omitted to Botice in our yesterday's num-
ber the ability displayed by Mr. Perkins, in his representation of Ro-
berto, the Robber Chief ; — in the scene where, after a great mental
struggle, he resigned the hand of Laura to his rival, his acting was
of a superior order, and drew continued plaudits from all parts of the
Theatre. Miss Betts and Phillips exerted themselves with the hap-
piest effect, and were loudly applauded. Sapio sang remarkably well,
and seemed more at home in his acting. Miss Cawse, asGianetta, was
very lively, and gave her cavatina iu such a charming manner as to
elicit an unanimous encore ; the Robbers' glee was also encored, and
vehemently applauded. The afterpiece was Master's Rival, admirably
supported by Keeley, Wrench, Mrs. Keeley, and Mrs. C, Jones.
^apmarfeec €l)eatre*
The Comedy of All in the Wrong was performed at this house
yesterday evening, with the same degree of excellence, which marked
its representation last week. Mrs. Glover acted Lady Restless with
great spirit ; and (hooper's Sir Johyi Restless is one of the most effec-
tive of his comic efforts. The parts of Beverly, Belinda, and Tattle,
were admirably sustained by Vining, MissF. H. Kelly and IMrs. Hum-
by, and all the inferior personages of the play bad efficient reprcisea-
tatives. The scene where Belinda was discovered by Lady Restless
in the sedan was un vrai coup de Theatre, and excited great laughter
and applause. After the comedy, was performed TAe Rencotitre ; Miss
F. H. Kelly made a charming Madame de Merville, and her soubrette
was pleasantly acted by Mrs. Humby. The Duke of Cumberland ho-
nored the Theatie with his presence.
Astley's — The Battle of fVaterloo and the Pantomime continue to fill
this house nightly. Amidst the variety of entertainments, nothing ex-
cites greater astonishment and delight than the InfaHt Prodigy, a child
not more than three years old, who rides in a manner truly suprising ;
she obtains the most unbounded applause, particularly from the fe-
male part of the audience.
THE THEATRICAL OBSERVER,
King's Theatre. — Signer Donzelli, by the production of an Opera
of Cimarosa's, entitled // Matrimonio Segretto, and his own individual
merits, attracted for his Benefit, last night, one of the fullest houses
of the season. This Opera embraces the chief incidents of our own
Comedy of The Clandestine Marriage. The music is light and ex-
tremely agreeable, and the concerted parts so arranged as to produce
a very pleasing effect. The production embraces an advantage over
most of our recent performances at the Italian Opera, all the charac-
ters being principal, and we hardly know where lo award most praise.
Zuchelli, in Geronimo, (the %Mr. Sterling of the English stage) acted
and sang with immense effect. Galli's Count Robinson, (the Sir John
Melville dittoj was equally effectif e. Donzelli's performance of Pao-
Una, (^Fanny^s husband) was splendid, and elicited very great ap-
plause. Sontag's Carolina^ and her sister's Eliselta, {Fanny and
Betsey Stirling) acted and sung with great spirit ; nor did the recent
severe illness of Mali bran operate against her exertions in Fidalma,
(Mrs. Heidelberg) — we have no hesitation in pronouncing this lady
the best general actress on the Italian stage ; she, on this occasion,
assumed all the peculiarities of age, and gave most natural effect to a
character so widely opposite to any she has before repiesented, that
we think she can fail in nothing.

Last eight the romantic drama of The Sister of Chanty was per-
formed for the eleventh *time ; and excited the greatest interest, by
the exquisite acting of Miss Kelly, in the heroine. It would, however,
be injustice not to state that Miss H. Cawse, and Messrs. Keeley, J.
Vining, and Perkins, contributed their full share towards the general
effect. The second piece was the comic Opera of Rosina ; the music
of this Opera is so delightful that it must ever hold its place on the
stage, whilst there is any true musical taste existing in the world.—
Mr. Oxberry, in his preface, says, with truth, * that the music of this
Opera is the amber which preserves the fly.' Madame Cellini played
Rosina for the first time, but her performance did not altogether please
us, either in her singing or her acting. She introduced too many or-
naments in her singing, and her manner was not sufficiently pensive for
the interesting Rosina. The Middle Temple concluded to a full house.

Morton's Comedy of Secrets Worth Knowing, was revived at this
Theatre last night, and as the cast included all the comic strength of
the company, we hardly need add that it was admirably and success^
fully performed. This Play, though far fiom being the best of Mor=
ton's productions, is still very amusing, and possesses some clever
sketches of character ; — that which produced the greatest effect last
night, was Farren's Nicholas Rue. — He looked the very picture of a
roguish old miser, who with the greatest horror of dying, and the mosl
eager desire to live, yet hesitates to summon a physician, for thcngh,
as he says, *' he may save his life, it will cost him a guinea." The
scene, in which April persuades him he is seriously ill, was excellently
acted — his looks of alarm, and contortions of countenance, were highly
ludicrous, and his return, after having at his exit declared he believed
vhinaself dying, to enquire who was to pay the apothecary, produced
the most laughable effect. His consternation at seeing the true will
in the hands of April, and his exultation at having outwitted Under-'
mine by getting his £lOOO after the discovery of that will, were de-
picted with great truth and effect. Undermine was sensibly played by
Mr. Williams, who is an actor that seldom overcharges his part, and
always shews an accurate conception of his author. J. Reeve gave a
diverting portrait of the honest, hearty steward ; and Vining bustled
through Rostrum with his accustomed tact. The part of Plethora
was given to Webster, and though it was not exactly in his line, he
got through it in a satisfactory manner. The serious parts of %Mr.
Greville and Egerton, were adequately represented by Messrs, Brindal
THE THEATRICAL OBSERVER,
and Cooper. Miss F. H* Kelly played J\Irs. Greville charmingly ; — in
the scene where her husband proposes to her to pass for his mistress,
to prevent the loss of his patrimony, her struggles to appear cheerful,
while her heatt was bursting with anguish, and the tone with which
she uttered, *' But oh, Charles, what name will attach to onr pretty
innocent V were truly touching ; and her rebuke of Undermine, in
the same scene, was delivered with all the dignity of conscious inno-
cence. Her interview with her brother was also exceedingly good ; —
her exclamation, " Oh ! do not curse me,'' was given with the most
thrilling pathos. Mrs. Hnmby, as Rose Sidney, and Mrs. Glover, as
Sally Downright, were excellent. MancBUvring, and Lodgings for
Single Gentlemen, followed.— The house was well attended.
Miss Paton, Madame Vestris, and Miss Butlin, are playing many
of the popular Operas at Ipswich, Norwich, &c. to delighted audien-
ces.— Braham is going to Brighton, where he will perform for a few
nights.— Harley is sporting his Ttoo Wives at Manchester, Scarbo-
rough, Newcastle, &c.— Munden is much better.
Among the departures from Drury, we have heard the following
named, — Mrs. Davison, Mrs. Geesin, Miss E. and Miss A. Tree, and
Miss Grant ; Braham remains, and will, it is said, be supported by
Miss Stephens.
