PARD3LiN THEATRICALS.
M. Halevy has ventured as far East as the Theiltre Lyrique, and has taken with him MM. Saint Georges and Leuven. In other words, he is the composer and they are the anthers of a new opera, entitled Jagua- rita, which has been produced in the Boulevard du Temple. M. Saint Georges loves stories about young ladies brought up amid uncouth cir- cumstances. It was to his invention the London stage was indebted for the opera of The _Enchantress, in which the heroine was a pirate's daugh- ter. Now the interest is centred in a young Indian queen, reigning at a time when the ruffians and the Dutch fought for the territories originally belonging to the former, and finding her heart, which she has bestowed on a Dutch captain, very much in the way of her patriotism. The ele- gant savage is played by Madame Marie Cabe'. A piece, in which the struggle between the Allies and the Parisians that took place at the Butte Montmartre in 1814 is made conspicuous, has been brought out at the Porte St. Martin, with the title Les Carrieres de Montmartre.
