THE THEATRES . bw play—Love's Martyrdom , by a new dramatic author , Mr . John Saundbrs as been produced with some literary success at the Havmarket , where Mr . ikstone makes periodical sacrifices at the costly shrine of the legitimate na . The present piece is of the old five-act , blank-verse class ; but it is ; ten by a man who has genuine feeling , and a true heart and ear forjjoetry . e graceful lines , some eloquent speeches , and some really tender and pasate love-scenes , make this play well worth going to hear . Its faults are ( as il , unhappily , on the English stage ) faults of construction . The main idea > t palpably and broadly enough worked out ; and , in many cases , the motives i which the characters act , instead of being of the plainest and most unially-striking kind , are obscure , and even unintelligible to the general tcity . In short , and to put it in the plainest terms , Mr . Saundeks has projd a graceful and fender poem in dialogue—but not yet a play . We charge against him only as a misfortune , for which we are quite willing to believe stage-inexperience is mainly accountable . He has so much real feeling , mry happy facilities of expression when he is speaking the language of tion , that we hope yet to see him a dramatist as well as a writer of elegant e . We would beg to remind him , if he will allow us to offer a suggestion , the taste of audiences has altered greatly of late years . They are glad to graceful and cultivated writing , but they will absolutely have with it a story keeps interest alive and culminating from act to act—a story which strikes i by a new idea , and rivets them by the strongest situations . Good verse good acting are not enough now to make a play successful on the English 3 . People want the excitement of a good story as well ; and they will miss pthing else rather than miss that . If Mr . Saunders will remember this , hall hope to see him elevating the drama of his own day when he next zs , and not going back to the worn-out dramatic forms of days that are le play was , on the whole , well acted , and , as to " scenery and appoint - is , " was neatly put on the stage . Miss Helen Faucit and Miss Swan-> ugh ( a lady new to London , who acts nicely , and has the additional merit assessing personal attractions ) , Mr . Barry Suixivan , and Mr . Howe ays conscientious and painstaking ) played the principal characters .

MONTI'S LECTURES ON SCULPTURE . At his third lecture on Wednesday last , which attracted a larger audience than the preceding , Signor Monti approached the consideration of Greek Art in its flourishing period , expatiating on its free spirit and its national character . But the second part of the lecture , in which he brought forward and explained a series of diagrams and casts of some of the masterpieces of Greek sculpture , proved the most attractive and successful . The impassioned affection with which the lecturer dwelt upon the friezes of the Parthenon and the Venus of Milo , seemed to penetrate the audience , and to awaken a mutual sympathy . We are persuaded that Signor Monti will do well to give more prominence in his remaining lectures to technical demonstrations . It is interesting to hear a master dilate upon the theory and the history of his art as a religious , or national element in successive civilisations ; but lectures on the theory , or even on the history , of art have no particular novelty , while the technical process , and the actual workmanship employed by the artist , appeal to the curiosity and awaken the interest of the public who are not in the secrets of the atelier . We are glad to find that Signor Monti purposes , in his lecture on Wednesday next , to resume the consideration of Greek art , and to illustrate the methods and the resources of its workmanship . The theory of the colouring of Greek sculpture , which has been recently a topic of controversy among artists and scholars , will naturally enter into the cadre of the exposition , and we shall be glad to hear what Signor Monti has to say upon the subject . THE OPERA . Away with melancholy ! should be inscribed , in gas , over the portals of the Italian Opera as often as the Barbiere is performed . What evil spirits can resist the crystal overflow of that fountain of eternal youth ? How worn out , how meagre and exhausted do contemporary tune-scrapers appear , compared with the reckless luxuriance , the abundant fancy , the fun , the frolic , the abandonment , the wanton and wilful prodigality of invention in this opera thrown off in a fortnight by a young man of twenty ! Thursday was a happy night . One speaks of " happy" nights at the Opera as sailors talk of " happy" ships , Everybody on the stage and in the orchestra was in the best humour and condition , and the audience heartily disposed to listen and enjoy . The cast could not be easily surpassed . Mario , "who looks Almavivu to the life , acted with unwonted spirit , and sang with the ease and comfort , the finished and voluptuous grace of his best days . Tamburini ( Figaro ) was as delightful as a vieux garcon ; Lablache ( Bartolo ) colossally comic ; Formes ( BasiHo ) sang " La Calomnia , " one of the very finest pieces of music-painting ever written , magnificently ; and Madame VrARDOT ' s liosina was like everything that admirable artist plays , perfection . She looked a type of Spain , all archness , petulance , and passion , conscious of grace , but of grace spontaneous , in all her movements . Her acting alone would have given life and reality to the scene ; but her singing—how consummate the art , how lavish the genius ! And there is this to be noted in the most lavish fioriture with which Madame "Viakdot sets all vocal difficulties at defianceshe seldom , if ever , sacrifices , as inferior singers do , the structure to the decoration—she always respects what she adorns .
