Some have been prosperous, and others have been bankrupt, simply because they deserved no other fate, either from the principle on which they went, or the management by which they tried to gull the town. The competition, as carried on, has been disgraceful, as well as ruinous, to all parties; and has utterly prevented excellence in any branch of the drama. What we recommended was, to limit different houses to different species of entertainments,-tragedy, comedy, and farce here; opera there; spectacle, melodrame, or vaudeville, at other places. Then should we see good companies for all, instead of mixed companies fit to execute nothing perfectly. But we are not now going again into the general question, which would lead us into the folly of the present licensing system: we would rather put in our word on the specific matter to be immediately decided, and on which the fate of English opera depends. London is the only capital in Europe which does not enjoy an opera in the native language; and that which has the foremost privileges every where else, is with us the least favoured of the drama.
