Monsieur MAUREL was an ideal _Count de Nevers_, a chevalier _sans peur et sans reproche_. Miss ENGLE won all hearts as _Marguerite de Valois_. "_Non 'Engle' sed 'Angel,'_" as the POPE didn't say. The Page was rather weak, but made up in action and archness--the archness was not confined to the eyes, but was also strikingly exhibited in another feature--for whatever might have been lacking vocally; and then of course there were the two brothers, JEAN and EDOUARD DE RESZKE, always ready to come to the resky. We stopped till the end, and congratulated ourselves on having heard the very last of the _Huguenots_ for the first time in our chequered career. We saw Signor FOLI, as _Marcel_, perform a marriage ceremony between _Valentine_ and _Raoul_, from which fact we gathered that the _Count de Nevers_ must have been shot, otherwise _Valentine_ would be a bigamist; and, in fact, the moral position of the three parties would be an extremely unpleasant one, in view of their hurried departure from this wicked world, which the muskets of the soldiers, executing the victims and the dramatist's design at the same time, compel them to make. The band and choruses were excellent. At the Garden, on Tuesday the 12th, the new Opera, _La Vita per lo Czar_, was produced and placed on the stage by Signor LAGO, as if it had been brought out at the beginning of the season instead of the finish. An eccentric Opera. The first Act fresh as the newly-painted scenery: full of life, colour, and melody. It started well with a chorus which was unanimously and enthusiastically encored. Mme. ALBANI was never in better voice. GAYARRÉ and DEVOYOD were excellent. The First Act was an undeniable success, and everybody was happy. Then came the Second Act, all chorus, hops, and Poles. No ALBANI, no GAYARRÉ, no DEVOYOD. Music pretty, but as TOBY in the Essence of Parliament puts it, "Business done. None." Curtain down: people a bit scared. Not accustomed to an Act without Principals. Evidently such an Unprincipal'd Act must be wrong. Act Third revived all hopes. ALBANI the bride, GAYARRÉ the bridegroom, SCALCHI the best boy, DEVOYOD the best boy's father, a venerable grey-headed peasant, the very reverse of the mild old gent in LEECH'S picture who was represented by the 'Bus cad as "a cussin' and a swearin' like hanythink," inasmuch as he is always either blessing somebody, uttering patriotic sentiments about the CZAR, or down on his hands and knees with his nose in the dust saying, or rather singing, his prayers.
