The managers of the Covent aarden house have not, as

yet, been happy in the new pieces they have brought forward. Rossini's /faliana in Alpert has been followed by Donizetti's Maria di Rohan; a feeble work, the success of which on the Continent has not been such as to render its production here a judicious choice. To mend the matter, the part of the heroine was intrusted to Madame Ronconi; who proved so utterly incompetent that she made a dead failure. If this opera was to be produced at all, the lady's part should have been given to Grisi, by whom it was performed in Paris. Maria di Rohan was produced last Saturday, and has not been repeated. Let it rest in peace.
