Mr. Bunn has announced the opening of Drury Lane on

Saturday next, for opera and ballet. His programme exhibits a strong company, and promises great doings in the course of the season. In addition to the per- formers of last year, the list contains the name of Madame Bishop, who is to make her debfit in Balfe's Maid of Artois. Hopes are held out of the engagement of Madame Viardot Garcia; in which case Meyerbeer's new opera, The Camp of Silesia, it is said, will be produced under the direction of the composer. Several new operas, by English composers, are also forthcomin' g.
