There have been very fine performances at the Lyceum during
the week. The operas have been Lucrezia Borgia, the Barbiere di Siviglia, and the 11.ovatore ; and the season terminates this evening with the Fa- corien. These pieces have never been better cast than they have been this season ; the Barbiere probably never so well, embracing, as it has done, the _combined excellences of Bosio, Mario Ronconi Formes, and Taglia- fico. Grisi has exerted herself with great power a' ad success ; and there is not a word now about her again taking leave of the stage. There have been reports of a temporary migration of Mr. Gye's company to Drury Lane, for performances to larger audiences but we see no signs that the plan is to be carried out, if it ever was really entertained; nor of the anticipated "farewell performances." At Her Majesty's, next week is to be devoted to farewells, at reduced prices, with the un- diminished attractions of Piccolomini and Le Corsaire.
