The English Opera having closed upon the "triumphant career" of

Martin uzzi, with a flourish of trumpets from the Council, and a self-gra- tulatory note of exultation from Mr. STEPHENS, that theatre now re- sounds with the din of Promenade Concerts; which commenced on Thursday, under the leadership of M. Musanu, and a very efficient orchestra. The Concerts d'Et4 having "fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf," Drury Lane is now cksed until Mr. MACREADY open it at or be- fore Christmas. Mr. ELTASON took his benefit on Monday, and the Band took theirs on Wednesday ; the use of the theatre being given them gratuitously,—a piece of liberality they would willingly have ex- changed for the payment of their salaries. Next week is the last of the season of the Strand Theatre, of KEE- LEY'S Punch, and his wife's " Freeknowledgery." It is also the first of the Adelphi season : the iron blind that closes the portal of that popular place of amusement will be drawn up on Monday, to admit an audience whetted with delay to witness a scene wetted with spray. The "Wizard," who made the Adelphi his cave, would seem to have left some of his craft behind, and to have inspired the manager with his eloquence : the mysterious announcement of the forthcoming wonders hints darkly at witchcraft, and a "novel scenic effect," the result of some cabalistic studies on the part of YATES and "his own peculiar artists." Can the zeal of the indefatigable caterer have led him to seek the aid of the powers of darkness ? He has literally gone through fire and water to serve the public ; and the polyglot playbill, setting forth the title of the new piece in German and the name of the new effect in some unknown tongue, proves that he has not limited his researches to English literature.
