Everyone glad to hail JACKSON "Right Honourable." A proud title, as yet not spoiled by indiscriminate distribution. Suffices for GLADSTONE, as it did for PEEL; suits JACKSON exactly. _Business done._--Winding up for Whitsuntide. Adjourn for holidays till Monday, June 2nd. * * * * * THE OPERA-GOER'S DIARY. _From the Note-book of Mr. Pips Senior._--_Monday, May 19._--To the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. First night of the Season. The house infinite full, and the Prince of WALES and the Princess, and the Princesses their daughters, there in a box, pretty to see. DRURIOLANUS OPERATICUS ET COUNTICOUNCILLARIUS mightily pleased at what I hear is the biggest subscription to this class of entertainment ever known. Many fine faces here to-day. The sight of the ladies exceeding noble. A new wench, Mlle. NUOVINA, to sing for the first time, taking the part of _Marguerite_ in the Opera of _Faust_, which she did prettily and quietly. Curious to see a _Marguerite_ with jet-black hair and a white face; yet comely and with much grace. Everyone extraordinarily content with Mons. JEAN DE RESZKE, the best _Faust_ that did ever sing and play this part. But vexed to see one M. ORME DARRALL act _Mephistopheles_ in the room of EDOUARD DE RESZKE, who, poor man, is sick. The scenes and the chorus all very fine indeed. All of us pretty merry at the droll mimicry of Mlle. BAUERMEISTER as _Martha_, who makes this part go most rarely. [Illustration: "Harmony in Black and White."] Pleased to see Madame SCALCHI dressed as a boy for the part of _Siebel_. The house mightily content, and wishing her to sing one song twice over, which she would not. In which matter she did wisely, as also the others. Went out before the last Act began, to find it raining heavily, and, good lack! not a _Commissionnaire_ to be met with for a quarter of an hour. Whereat mightily troubled to get a coach, till one did fetch me a four-wheeler, which I entered, in great disorder, after much strife and contention. Cost me sixpence. To RULE'S, in Maiden Lane, being mighty thirsty, where had supper on excellent lobster and fresh salad, with eggs of the plover, and a draught of the best stout, which did much content me. Comes young SILLIGREW, who makes merry about "sticking to Rules for supper and no exception," or some such nonsense, which I have forgot, though we laughed heartily at his manner of saying it. Drank to the success of the Italian Opera and of DRURIOLANUS. After paying the reckoning, took cab, and so home to bed.
