_Robin Hood has been performed at Her Majesty's Theatre this week on the usual nights, but with Mr. Swift instead of Mr. Sims Reeves in the character of the Outlaw. We are not aware that any explanation has been given of Mr. Reeves's absence, and do not, therefore, know whether it has arisen from indisposition or any other temporary cause, or whether he has relinquished the part. Mr. Swift is a singer of con- siderable merit, but he is not competent to fill the shoes of the "great English tenor." At Covent Garden, we observe a new operetta by an anonymous composer, called The Marriage of Georgette, is to be produced this even- ing ; and Miss Louisa Pyne, who has been severely indisposed during the week, will appear in the principal character. Balfe's new opera continues to be "underlined" as in preparation.
