element . Bishop ' s glee , " Hail to the Chief" ' . ( words by Sir Walter Scott ) and " Tramp Chorus , " were sung by the chorus of the Royal Italian Opera . The new song , " Let every man join heart and soul , " composed by Mr , Alfred Mellon , " 38 th Middlesex ( Artistes ) , R . V . C , " was sung by MivWilbye Cooper ,, also of the - " 38 th Middlesex ( Artistes' ) R . V . C .

Harper gave his inimitable trumpet solo , " The Soldier tired . " In addition to the above , and several first-class orchestral and instrumental solo pieces , Mdlle , Parepa gave Balfe ' s " Power of Love , " in addition to sustaining the solo part in the " Tramp chorus . Is or must we forget Mr . Mel . lon ' s new Part Song , " Take lieed ! liave a care ! " The miscellaneous nights were fixed for Tuesday , Wednesday , and Saturday , the programme being judiciously Taried . Thursday was a " j tfendelssohn IJvight , " the first part ^ of the programme consisting of pieces by that eminent composer , while the second part opened with an admirable selection from " Don Giovanni . " 3 Triday stands conspicuous for the production in its entirety , and with j tfozart ' s accompaniments , of Handel ' s " Messiah ; " the principal parts being sustained" by Mdilc . Parepa , Miss Augusta Thompson , Mi * s XefHer , Madame La lira " Baxter , and Messrs . AVilbye Cooper atid Lewis Thomas . We shall give a . critical estimate of this performance in our next number . Want of space compels Us to condense the present notice within the smallest possible compass . Wo have only room to add that this week Mr . Mellon ' s concerts hare not merely surpassed any others of the kind ever given , but have excelled themselves . Mr . George Perren , who appeared on the Mendelssohn night , was encored in both his songs , "The Garland" and " Ah , si ben mio . " ; . PiuifCESs ' s Theatre .- —The Shakesperian drama has found adequate exjjosition at this house during the week . On Monday night Mr . James Anderson and Miss Elsworthy sustained with their wellk-nown justness of conception and fidelity and force of delineation , the chief characters in "Macbeth , " and elicited a degree of applause equally enthusiastic and well deserved . Monday nigli . t -was also marked by the debut of Miss- Marie Harris , who made her first appearancb on any stage in "The First JSTight ; " the English 1 version of the favourite . farce , " Le Pore d ' une r ) ebutante . " The " debutante , " in a , two-fold sense , was a great success . Miss Marie Harris is pretty , has a light and , . graceful figure , and elegance of carriage and deportment . She manifests considerable . intelligence in her reading . of the character she . had to ¦ sustain , and met with the most favourable reception from a discerning and fashionable audience . Mr . A . Harris enacted the part of the FrencTiman , into which he infused his well-known vivacity and humour . ' . Olympic Theatke . —Mr . Montague Williams ' s new comedietta of . " A Fair Exchange / ' was brought out at this house on Monday . The plot turns upon a confusion of names , and consequent mistaken identity . A gardener ( personated by Mr . H . Wigan ) rejoicing in the name of Dab / cins changes it to Dudley , for considerations into which ambition and euphony may be presumed to enter largely as ingredient ? . This causes him to be taken for a live peer , a certain JEarl of Dudley ( Mr . W . Gordon ) , who is himself in jeopardy of being taken by the police for being engaged in a duel , he being also engaged to be married to a certain Lady Vane (? . Iiss Herbert ) , as the ( presently almost " broken-hearted" ) gardener is to one Mabel Ghray ( Miss Louiso Keeley ) . But when the Marl changes dresses with the gardener , to escape under cover of the disguise , " there is no mistake at all " about the mistaken identity , which becomes a fait accompli . The gardener proceeding in the Harps clothes to Mabel ' s house is arrested and locked up , affording considerable chnritablo and womanly satisfaction to the Lady Kane and JU-a&el , who fancy they are both in love with the same person , and who , despite their difference of ranks , give manifest toleris that ono touch of nature ( albeit not of tho best developed and most rationalized sort ) makca tlio wholo world of womanhood kin . As tho reader , of course , foresees , that peculiar forin of mania , incident to a low but unfortunutoly almost univorsnl state of intellectual and moral development , known as jealousy , plays a conspicuous part in tlio matter , as it must do in all corrocc dramatic representations of " life " " life" is now , among us , in this vary imperfect stato of sublunary existence , which the . mania in question , tends so much to embitter . Subsequently , howevor , the Marl and tho gardener ( who got . s released ) appear in their own proper persona ( at least dresses—and dross , aa wo know , constitutes the person ) , and tho ladies being cured of their lunacy , receive them , respectively into their good graces . The piece was very well playod , and very well received , achieving , indeed , a decided success ; tho excellent acting of MIhs Louiso Keeley eliciting tho most oordial and well-merited applause . Tho other pieces played havo bcon "Somebody Else , " and "Shylopk , " which ufford auoh amplo soopo for displaying tho extraordinary powers of Mr . Roboon , who in those original characterizations which ha has made liis own , is without a rivul . St . James ' s Tubai'M ? .- —Mr . Barry Sullivan hufl boon playing Hamlet and Macbeth at this house with unequivocal ami well-merited suooosa , to crowded audiences . Wo understand that Mr . Alfred Wigan , having booomo tho lessee of this theatre , will , about tho end of next month , open tho campaign in brilliant ) style . Eastbun Ojpkua-House , Pavilion TraEAWW . —Wo aro happy to record an enterprise at tho Enst End , which promised to rivul—ut lgneifc in . the spirit and energy with which it is oonduotod , tho suaooss which Booms destined to attend it , and the appreciation of not merely tho local but tho gonoral public— "anything thut hits boon uooomplishod in tho raoro fashionable regions of the West . Mr . John Douglass , then ,, tho proprietor of this house ,-has operated ono of those " transformation Bosnos" in tlio establishment , whUm involvo tho outlay of oonsidorublo capital , and imply a s ' omowhnt daring 1 , ' but wo predict a woll-foundod , und 'wo nro sure a woll-dosorvod aonfldenoo in oxtonsivo popular support . Ho has resolved to establish a pormanont sont of tho Lyrio Drama in tho East End , und with that objections returned tho sci'v ' o . 's of ix double company und chorus , for placing English and Italian oporaa on . the stago in their in oat ; per feu t forma of roudoring und dovolopmont . has scoured , an excellent ) Imnd , under tho ublo direction of Mr .
B . Isaacson and Signor Yero . He has taken care to provide that all collateral appliances and means shall be in an equally satisfactory state of efficiency . The theatre has . been ro-decoratod and fresh painted . It will hold 40 . 00 people . Bojses , oi-chestra , and balcony stall ? , and oneof the be ' st-constructod pits £ or seeing and hearing ever designed , all afford excellent accommodation * m' the public , and iu an acoustical point of view ( or rather point of hearing ) , the building has hardly a superior . Among the artistes engaged are Madame Lancia , Miidamo Siverne ( sopranos ) , Messrs . A . Braham and W . M . Parkinson , Signori G . iuletti and Salvie ( tenors ) , Mr . E . Roschthal and . Signor Eugiuo ( baritones ) . Mr . O . Summers ( vvlio , by the way , discharges the important duties of stage director ) , is the " buffo" of the company . Then ¦ we have Miss Annie Leng ( from Covcnt-garden ) , Mr . Seguine , Mr . Lisle , and Mr . Morrow ( of the Italian Opera ) , Madame Seguine and Signor Kiiletti ( from the San Carlo ) . The season commenced on Saturday last with " 2 s orma" ( in English ) , with the recitatives as in the original ' ltalian , and was repeal ed on Monday , Wednesday , and Thursday , Madame Lancia playing the heroine , and Mr . Bruham and Mr . Parkinson alternately sustaining the character of Pollio , and supported by Mr . Rosenthal and Miss Long as Ororeso and Adalr / i . w . On Tuesday " Lucia di Lammermoor , " in Italian , "\ vas produced , to be repeated on Friday , with Madame Lancia ( who combines the notes of a nightingale with the working powers of a steam ¦ engine ) , -jis the principal character ; Signor Giulerti . appearing , for the iii \< t time , as JEdtjardo ; Signor Rugiuo acting and pinging JCiivico with adinirable and deservedly applauded spirit ; Miss Leng representing Alicia , and the other parts being well filled up . On the English nights the performances terminated with the Ci Waterman ' , " Messrs . Parkinson and Brahum sharing Tom Tiig between them , itr . O . Stunmers . playing Robin , and Miss Leng appearing as Wilhelni ' nia ; all these artistes siii < riiig the favourite songs associated with the piece , amidst the warmest applause . On the Italian ' nights . " Love and ' ¦ Wine" was given . On Saturday Wallace ' s " Maritann , " in English ,- is to bo produced . The crowds that visited the theatre on the opening night filled every inch , of standing-room in every part of the building , and . the audiences have been crowded during the week . PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORIAL OF THE FRENCH TREATY . We Lave received a photograph , representing , iii a well-arranged group , the distinguished men who were recently engaged , at Paris , in arranging the terms of the French Treaty . The . photograph is ono of the largest we have ever seen , being about twelve hu-hes high by sixteen wide . The persons represented are Mr Chevalier , Mr . Cubden , M- Bai-Gche , M . Fould ., the . Count do Persigny , the Count deKerm-vlay , , M . Doll ' us , Lord Cowley , M . Roulicr , M . Periere , and M . Dufour . The figures are nllfull length , some seated and spine , standing , while M . Michael Chevalier in the centre is represented as addressing his colleagues on some point , of the treaty . Tho size , the correct inss of tlio 'likenesses , and tho highly artistic finish of this picture rentier it a very remarkable specimen of photographic art . Wo should mention that it is from a work ot Mr . John East hum , of 122 , Regeut-street .
