      THE KOYAL ITALIAN OPERA . Thje \ Elisir cPAmore was produced at the Ltcbum Opera House on . Thursday evening . It is just the proper , kind of opera for the dijou theatre ' which now does duty for the vast and stately Covent Garden , being light , airy , and melodious . ... . When we say that Ronconi performed Dulcamara —~ & piece of acting illimitable for . its humouristic genius—that G-abdoni sustained the part of Nemorino— and ^ that , as a final charmj Madame Bosio , recovered from her illness , made lier ^ first appearance at this theatre as Adina , —we need add hpthing to convince the reader that the gratification of the audience was great . . . ¦¦ ¦ • ' . ¦¦ . ' , ¦' . " \ ¦¦¦¦ . '¦ . '¦ ' . .. . '¦¦ We are able ^ by the way , to confirm , on good authority , the report that it is- at least -highly probable that " the old house" will be rebuilt . The Duke of IJebford is understood to desire it ; and we are informed that so much of the skeleton of the theatre remains in a perfectly uninjured state that . the expense of re-erection , will be much less than was at first supposed . Vjnons the contemplated improvements is to be a covered carriage-road sn . uie Piazza right into the body of the building , in order that ladies I ? * --be set , down close to their boxes without exposure to weather , or * . sk of hurting , by our humid climate , what Moi-Mais ' s fop calls " the . embofi ^ faf Qf ^ g feathers . " There will also be a magnificent concert-room ot ver ^ ge dJmensiong ,

      Mr . Charles Kean announces the Win *> Tale , with his usual attention to spectacle . Ke proposes to give an ancient la ^ ek element to the costumes , scenery , &c ., instead of the mediaeval character go . * rally adopted . We confess we were startled with this at first ; but there artsome good reasons in its favour . The truth is , however , that the play is ax ^ malous in all such matters ; and " whichever you please , my little dears , " mkht be the rule .

      TEffi SOCIETY ARTISTS . The best of the three exhibitions now open is at the Gallery in Suflblkstreet . A still more encouraging f ^ ct than supremacy—for , after all , it is not much to assert that the Suffolk-street exhibitors have beaten _ their rivals inJBegent-street and Pall-aiall—is the internal proof of an advancing power * iven this year by the Society of British Artists . In landscape most espe-^^ , but also in homely natural subjects , combining landscape and figures , '' ndr ^ csejix far more independence , fresbness , aiid force of hand than a pro-^ f art ^? area of painting shows elsewhere . In mere portraiture—a branch . ¦ ^ hi ^ h ' ii ^ . ' ^'' ^ ' ' ^ S * ' F- ^< ' ' '' i 1 ''^ e ac adenaic al British Institution , but phatlc qlsSL ^ * ° wiJd ^ . at the other Institution , cMled 4 ; by : way of enj-Suiffblkstreety ^ ! ^ atTOnal—there is much that is worth notice ^ in

      things from Mr . Woolmer again and again but so long as he continues thrusting them upon our acceptance , we shall take them kindl y , provided thev come unmixed with bad English translations of the scenery and sentiment in Faradis Perdu or any other scriptural drame from the Ambi gu Comique Noble , who is almost as artificial , in his own way , as Wooiassb has never yet made the mistake of stepping beyond his proper ground . Of li ten contributions , we will name the smallest as being every way the best It is so good that , had we seen it on the walls of the Royal Academy -we should have taken it for a work of Leslie ' s . As the picture is Very small , and is badly hung near the ground , it may be necessary to call attention to it by the number in the catalogue—212 . It is entitled " The Alburn . ' ^ We find that we have left out truer and better artists than those last mentioned , and we are sorry that shortnees of space compels us to generalise where we would rather point to special signs of merit . Henzelx ,, for instance , demands a paragraph to himself-r-a paragraph that should be full nX

      praise for the present , and of encouragement for future efforts . 2 fo artist has more distinguished himself , in the last few years , by steady and continued advance . The group of figures " On the Welsh Coast" will justify the opinion we have ventured to record of Henzeix . In pastoral scenes Cobbext still holds place ; and Baxter , hardly so successful in his subjects as last year , has more than one blossom of womanhood to win our thanks and admiration . Landscapes by West , Pine , Danbt , Boddington , Wuxjams , and other painters rising into fame as deservedly high as theirs , make up a great—perhaps the greater—portion of the display . When we think of the thousands of human souls bricked up in this labyrinth of civilisation ; when we think , too , of those noble passages in Alton Locke , where the author , speaking through his hero , thanks the great and glorious modern Landscape painters of England for bringing their fresh spoils and laying them , aA 4 t .: wer , e ,-at the feet of those who are hun ^ erjng for beauty and for nature , we the more painfully feel the want of a National Gallery that shall not belie its title .
