intruder unseen-and the Marquis and his crew retire to the Armoury. The old Miser appears works his phantoms-lights the candelabra -wallows in his gold-and then comes a swift and awfish vengeance. The rusty belts toll a ghostly chaunt is heard then a legion of inailed spectres all the dead and buried Lords of Corneville appear-and advance on the ap palled Miser, who sinks wandering and terror- stricken on the gold. This startling tableati conclude the second part of the story.
The last Act is devoted to the unravelling of the mystery attached to Germaine. This is done by patching together the hints dropped in his ravings, by old Gaspard-who confirms them, on his return to sanity, and owns that Germaine is not his niece, but Malle, de Lucenay. In the same moment, that young lady learns that she is free to give her hand where she loves, for that to Henri de Corneville, and not Grenicheux, she owed her life. Across the serious interest of the denouement come the lighter texture of serpe
lette's fortunes. No sooner does she assume the silks and satins of rank, than she is deceived as to her real position, and has again to look forward to sabots and cotton. Over the betro thal of the Marquis and Germaine come this ime gladly, the chimes of "Les Cloches de Comerille."
Of course it is not expected that any travelling company can place a work of this character on the stage, doing justice to the authors. A great deal must be cut down, and arrangements made with both libretto and music to suit the com- pany's resources. Opera bouffe always requires a well trained choir, and a large number of supernumeraties, with a marked predominance of
the fair sex; and in this opera especially the market scene-which is evidently taken from
petitors, and although a little bit pressed at times by a boat from HM/Inconstant and the cutter from the Thémis, succeeded in crossing the line about four minutes in front of the English boat, with the French cutter, and one from the yacht Wanderer, sailed by Mr. Lambert, close up third and fourth. Lieut. Montgomerie acted as starter and judge.
