... FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE AND MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE. (ExcLusIVE FOR THE ERA.) The second representation of the Lucia, at the Italian Opera at Paris, has justified all we said of the first. The im- partial press profess the opinions we have advanced, and de- plore, as much as ourselves, that the repertory, as well as the performers, are identically the same as before. The only difference we can ...

... DRURY LANE. As a musical performance, we have noticed Acis and Galatea. It remains to speak of other effects in it-as mu ch matters of art and intellectual plea- sure as even the music of Handel.

On the right and left are subjects from Annibal Caracci, and in the centre a magnificent copy of one of ...

Miss Adelaide Kemble does all she can for Elena3 some extremely well painted scenes, and very gor- geous if not very tasteful dresses, set forth the opera with an air of splendour; but these are no- thing against the music of Mercadante-that fatal, dull residuum, of dreary no-meaning. Miss Kemble's ...

... THEATRE ROYAL DRUBY-LANE. Oa Saturday night Mr. WEISTLAND MARSTON'S tragedy of The Patrician's Daugyhter was produced with decisive and triumphant success. A great and bold experiment has thus been made- Mr. ASIRSTON'S play is a tragedy of the passing time; there is no remoteness either of age or locality. Its passions, interests, and collisions may even now be the living drama of abodes in ...
