Drury Lane has produced nothing new this week, but is

giving "note of preparation." Don Giovanni is to be performed next week, with Ma- dame Rudersdorff, the celebrated prima donna from Berlin, as Donna Anna; and the same lady is also about to appear in the Alceste of Gluck. After all, English opera (or opera in English) is to be added to the plan of this theatre. Sims Reeves is positively engaged and Hasaniello is fixed upon for his appearance.
