The Mountain Sylph, I, and my Double, and The Bottle
Imp, formed the entertainments at this Theatre yesterday even-
ing. At the Duchess of Kent's grand concert on Thursday even-
ing, the piece of music which seemed to afford the greatest de-
li <?ht to v the Queen and the royal guests, was a trio from Barnett's
& pera of The Mountain Sylph, which was sung by Wilson,
H. Phillips, and Miss E. Romer, All the singers at the concert
were English, and the music was selected entirely from native

composers.

tinned intrusion, betted him a bowl of punch "that he could not
refrain from punning in the short period of ten minutes, even
were all the company silent. The wager was accepted, and
Mr. R. placed himself at the window, in order that no action of
his opponent might contribute to rouse the restrained talent ; five
minutes had not elapsed, when an old beggar dangled between
a pair of crutches toward the window, imploring charity ; at
which moment Mr. R. commenced humming the old Scotch air
of " Through the wood laddie." Suett immediately demanded

NEW ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

The performances at this Theatre, on Saturday evening", call
for no especial notice, they consisted of The Queen'sChantpion,
the Comedy of The Rivals, and the Musical Entertainment of
Rosina. We hear the new Comedy, called The Scholar, is
from the pen of that clever dramatist Buckstone.

HAY-MARKET THEATRE.

On Saturday night the revived Opera of Der Freischutz
was performed with 1, and my Double, and The Spirit of the
Bell. The great success of the Opera of Der Freischutz
furnishes another proof of how little reliance is to be placed on
the judgment of performers, for when it was in rehearsal at
the Lyceum Theatre, in 1S24, Braham declared " that it could
not succeed for a century to come •"

The Drama appears to be in a most wretched state at Bir-
mingham, for Charles Kean and Warde have been performing
theie to £6 and £8 per night.

There is a newTheatre erecting- in Norton Folgate, and which
is in so forward a state that it will be ready for opening in the
latter, end of the year. Mr.Beazley, the architect of the build-
ing, is proceeding with it rapidly, and it is now neary 18 feet
above the ground. The situation is very near the site of one of
the oldest playhouses in London, which was built about 1570,
and being constructed only of wood, was pulled down in the
beginning of the reign of James I.

A Sunday journal says " There have been divers meetings of
the committee of Drury Lane Theatre in the course of the past
week, in which the affairs of the Theatre were taken into con-
sideration. The general opinion is that the present lesseeship
will be continued, but certain deposits must be made before the
commencement of July, on which the question very much de-
pends. We understand that Covent Garden is not precisely in
the same predicament, and that it is quite certain that Mr. Bunn
will remain in possession of that house if not of Drury Lane also.
As yet we can only speak upon conjecture, as the members of
the Drury Lane Committee are as mysterious as usual."

In an agreement, (dated 1/91) signed by Sheridan, Holloway
and Sheldon, and approved by the Prince of Wales, the Duke
of Bedford, and the Marquis of Salisbury, which was to create
a final settlement of the patent rights of the King's and Covent
Garden and Drury Lane Theatres, the following words occur.



E. dj'J. Thomas Printers, 6, Exeter Street, Strand.



THE THEATRICAL OBSERVER.



" It is understood, as a part of the settlement bona fide between
the three Theatres, that the patents of Drury Lane and Co-
vent Garden shall never be ^exercised (or the performance of
Italian Operas." The late performance of La Gazza Ladra
virtually destroyed the Drury Lane patent.

Second Thoughts, (Extract from the report of the Dramatic
Committee. — See page 92,) " Mr. John Braham called in and ex-
amined. Q. " You are not the proprietor of any Theatre f "
A. " Thank God ! I am not." Mr Braham is now partner with
Yates in the Colosseum, and building* a Theatre of his own.
