The Theatres At Home And Abeoad. Lokdok,...
THE THEATRES AT HOME AND ABEOAD . Lokdok , done to death by thunderous and choleraic weather , is in , a rapid state of decomposition . Drdb ? Lane , it is true , closed on account of the intense heat , on an unlucky day , when the thermometer fell suddenly to * 60 . But all the other and more prosperous houses , including St . Stephens ' s , have announced their last nights . The Pkijtoess ' s , the Avelpuz , the Olystpic , are on the eve of closing . Whoever heard Grisi sing in Lncrezia Borgia on Thursday must fefeve felt the fact of its being her last appearance in that opera , and her last but one in any , in England , alL the more poignantly that her voice was even extraordinarily full and strong-that nigh * . As- for her sumptuous and southern beauty we dare not trust ourselves to sneak , on the brink of Silence and the cruel Past ! Mario , too , like Sardanapalus , seema resolved to serial glory . He has surpassed himself of late . Robust and sweet tenors abound , but where shall we find that peculiar quality of voice , at once virile and voluptuous ittits tenderness , again ? We do not forget the large and passionate style of Tamberllk : it is the peculiar timbre of voice to which we allude , and the secret charm of which seems likely to he lost to the operatic stage with Mario . Grisrs benefit , we feel an . exquisite pain in reminding our readers , is on Monday next . She has selected the first ( we wish it had been'the last ) act of Norma , and ' the Huguenots , terminating with the grand finale of the fourth act , for this i sad solemnity . The death ha life of a great artist * V a solemnity , and-we usethat word without affectation ^ It i » wise to di spense with the last act of the Huguenots on this night : it is always somewhat of an . anti-climax * and few situations could . lea . ve a more-enduring impression on aa audience than the final duo of- the fourth act . Still , Valentine is not so absolutely identified -with Grist as JNbrma or Lucsezia Borgia , and we almost wish she had . taken her farewell in a part in , which she . has had no rival . What a Vos . Valete et Plaudite it will be on Monday nightl The Opeiea . Gomique Bas closed at the St . James ' s . " We have only to repeat our regrets that the enterprise was not better advised . In spite of its general inefficiency , it had alt the elements of success ; in- Madame Marie Cabef . Biit taerewere tw ^ o capital faults froni the beginning ; operettas , unknown beyond the TETBAiitEr Lyriqbe , were produced instead of the gems of the Opera Comiqde , and the mistake was corrected too late to effect materially the fortunes of a short campaign . The delightful prima donna . wasi miserably supported , and the result was unsatisfactory to an audience accustomed to the best ensemble .
Still the large audiences on the nights of th & Sirene 7 and the Etonians de \ u Coh ~ ronne , have proved convincingly that the Opera Comiqtctb is , in itaeff , a , sraeeess in England .

Glancing At Dramatic Doings In Paris, We...
Glancing at dramatic doings in Paris , we find that the- Theatre FftAasjCAis has suddenly cloaed for three weeks ' for repaiw . ' Perliaps the intesae heat may have had something to do with these repairs . A five-act c & iuedyv written by Alexaudre Dumas , the son , for the Gybinask , has been transferred to the Franc ais . It is reported that this successful scion of Montechristo has been engaged to -write exclusively for that classical stage . ¦ But this- appears to us problematical , unless the young author of the Dame aux Cameltas and Diane de Lys has suddenly become a convert to the new Ecole du bon sens , or to the old school of " the unities" and Alexandrines . A little comedy at the Vjuuetes ( where three new pieces , on an average , have been produced of a night , of late- )^ called Lss Anti podes ^ is spoken of aa charming by the critics . It is- a slight affair , and represents a scene of domestic eompEcations supposed to be going on at the same moment in Paris and Pekin—the stage being divided into two . At the Ajibigo , even in the dog days , an audience is found for a formidabledrama- in six acts ; after which a troupe of Danish , dancers of ' raanrvelLoua beauty and choregraphic talent' refreshes the exhausted nerves of the palpitating pit and gallery . At the Imperial , Cikcus a tremendous naval and military spectacle attracts nightly the patriotism of the Faubourgs and the curiosity of tourists . It is called the Guerre cFOrienty and among- the principal characters are Admiral Dundas and Napier , and Lord Raglan . At the Pobte St . Maetin , MeTingue , the great melodramatic actor , i & creating a sensation in the drama of Schnmyl , composed expressly for him by Paul Meurice . His performance is enthusiastically described asn not a m « re impersonation , but a " veritable incarnation of the Circassian heroJ ' English celebrities in the contortionist and tumbling line of business seem to be in rogue at tlie Hippoodrome . We hear of " Miss Cecily" ascending in a balloon-, af " the celebrated equilibrists , " " Brothers Pricey" and of tlie Magie Ladder by " John . "

Those who are interested in the world of splendour atid misery behind the scenes should read the third volume of Dflctor " v " eron 7 s Memoircs d un ^ Bourgeois de Paris , in which that illustrious pill-maker , impresario , and statesman , gives a glowing account of his management . of the Grand Opera ( taring : the early years of Louis Philippe 7 s reign . Haroun Alraschid seems a mere constitutional monarch in comparison with that majestic figure of the Sultan of the C ' ufe de Paris . Ji . 1 \
