Her Majesty's Theatre. The Opening Night...
nasal * he is now ' not only a refined and elegant vocalist , but a manly singer , and he acts with spirit and animation . He fairly divided the success of the eveiiink with AtBO » r . In the absence of Belletti , who was suddenly indisposed , Seienor Beneventano took the part of Dandini at two hours' notice . He seems to have one of those powerful bass voices so commonly found in Italy , but the sp lendid organ is not accompanied by equal intelligence , and the result is a total absence of control of the voice and an unpleasant propensity to bel lowing , which , we trust may be corrected . Signor Zucconi , who performed Don MagnificOt bears a striking resemblance to Wkiciit . It is a reasonaDle doubt whether he ever had a voice . The orchestra was noisy and coarse , and the conductor , Signor Boschetti , energetic enough , but apparently insensible The Ballet divertissement , Les Quatre Saisons , gives a fair promise of better On ThxiTsday , the Barbiere was given , with Belletti , who , lacking the genius of Ronconi , is always satisfactory and effective . On Tuesday next , Alboni will appear in La Sonnambula . Isucrezia Borgia , the most successful opera of the Covent Gadden seasons , tfas brought out at the Lyceum on Tuesday . Grisi displayed all her indomitable energy ; but Mario broke down , and Ronconi was ill . The Royal Italian Opera has passed out of the domain of public criticism since its recent transmigration ; it has no longer any public : but we cannot resist a feeling of regret at the departure of Tambeblik , that grand and faithful artist , who was never " indisposed , " and always admirable . Perhaps he will be missed now that he is no longer here to be neglected .

" Retribution." Suca Is The Rather Melod...
" RETRIBUTION . " Suca is the rather melodramatic title of a drama , based on a French novel , which was produced on Monday night at the Olympic . The hero of this piece is a certain M . de Mornac , ( performed by Mr . Wigan ) , who appears until the end under the assumed name of Count Priuli , an Italian for the nonce , though , in fact , a Frenchman . He has been a sailor , and , during his absence , his wife has fallen under the seductions of Oscar de Beaupre , a Parisian roue . Returning suddenly to France , De Mornac finds his wife dying in . her dishonour , and , discovering who the seducer is by a miniature , he devotes the rest of his darkened life to a plan of vengeance of the most consummate devilishness . He resolves to introduce himself to De Beaupre ' , to simulate friendship , to warp the affections of his wife , to destroy her honour , as that of his own wife was destroyed by De Beaupre , and then to challenge his enemy , and wipe out his wrongs in blood . By exhibiting to Madame de Beaupre the faithlessness of her husband , who is now making love to another married woman , he lures her into the deadly vortex of his intention—lures her as the snake lures the bird , though she fears and trembles at him ; and finally she is in his power . But his youthful brother ( Victor de Mornac ') has accidentally discovered him at Paris ; learns from him his unrelenting design ; and , though promising to respect his incognito ,
endeavours to save Madame de Beaupre " . For he , too , loves' her , though with purity and a kind of worship . He warns her against Priuli , who "is not what he seems ; " and , quarrelling purposely with De Beaupre , who laughs at him for his youthfulness , challenges him , fights , and is mortally wounded . De Beaupre , not knowing where to take the youth , asks Priuli to admit him to his house . This is done ; and the climax approaches . Priuli avows himself ; shows to De Beaupre & miniature of his wife , as a proof that she too has fallen ; and goads him to the final issue . It is not long before swords are crossed in fierce antagonism ; not long before De Beaupre' falls with a death-wound through him . His wife is at that moment concealed in the house ; and , rushing into the room ^ she implores Priuli to assure the dying man that , though tempted , she has not yielded . It is giving up half his revenge to do so ; but , recollecting that his brother has died to save the lady's name by removing the object of Priuli's revenge , he consents . And the curtain , falls on a tableau of death , misery , and remorse . It will be seen that here are the elements of a very " effective" drama . And effective it is , but by means of elements that have of late sprung up into unhealthy rankness . We have surely had too much of this ghastly sporting with all the domesticities — this east-wind " blight spreading over the branches of the social tree ; as if there were no virtues higher than elegant adultery , or seduction for some misconception of "honour . " The whole story of this drama of Retribution moves under a shadow of distorted passions , made more oppressive by the glare and glitter of a corrupt drawing-room " civilization . " We do not speak from any petty Exeter Hall point of view ; but , when the stage shows us little else than selfishness and wild passion on the one hand , cold , subtle , snake-like cruelty on the other , and a general spattering of blood in the midst of a false gaiety , it is clear that the affections are no gainers by the exhibition . We are also sorry to see that , while it is so difficult to find a market for original productions , a play deduced from a French novel , with a concluding scene which is that of the Corsican Brothers over again , should meet with the managerial favour . But the drama is very powerfully as well as elegantly written ; and the acting of Mr . Wigan is consummate . The dark , moody man , slowly coiling with a quiet deadliness round his victims , breaking out into passionate grief when detailing his wrongs to his brother , and at times melting and trembling into tenderness when he thinks of the youth who loves him and longs to save him from his own act—this is wonderfully represented . Miss Herbert—with a few drawbacks as regards peculiarities of intonation—acted the wretched victim with a real appreciation of nature : her gradual lapsing and sliding into the dreadful fascination that is upon her , was very striking . Mr . Geoege Vining ( who performed De Beaupre ) has plenty of spirits for such a part , but he wants gentility , and is too much of a Cockney in his accentuation . Mr . Emery had a slight part , with a little humour in it ; and was rough and genuine as usual .

\ w London , Friday Evoninff . May , 10 , 1850 . The bidding for the now Loan of five millions will take place on Monday . The only capitalist at present , who has opened a list for subscribers , is M . do Rothschild ; and the " bulls" seem inclined to keep tho Funds very buoyant , and enable the Chancellor to mako good terms . Tho scarcity of money in tho Stock Exchange is notable , at this present time , Ci and 7 per cent , being Riven . Outside the Stock Exchange , in Mincing Lano and olsewhoro , there arc symptoms of increasing easiness , and before long the Discount houses will bo obliged to take oil' tho " screw . " The settling of the account occupied tho attention of tho House during the earlier part of tho week . That onceover , all shaves rose in sympathy with Consols . Belgian Lines remain flat . Sambro ! and Mouse and Luxembourgs do not recover from their lato depression . Amongst tho new undertakings , tho Lombardo-Venctian and Riga Railways seem in favour . Mexican stock has been also dealt in considerably this last day or two . In tho heavy share market , Leeds and Midlands and ! Birmingham continue , in favour . Dovcrs and Caledonians , Vork and Nortli Borwicks , and Grout Northerns are also very firm . Joint Slock Hanks hang fire—heavy calls on tho shares and the multiplicity or these undertakings nro tho causes . A now Hunk lias lately beon mentioned —» ho Bank ol' Switzerland—tho shares of which scorn inclined to bo sought after . Great Western of Canada shares and Govormnout Bonds are very good . Tho Grand Trunk of Canada are 1 J ^ . to 21 . per share bettor since tho settling . In j Mines there in but , littlo doing , u few of the Gold Mining American shares arc asked after occasionally .
