JUNE 4, 1853. At the Grand Opera the dant of a tenor, M. Net, who had some success at Rouen and Toulouse, is expected with interest. The Spanish danseme, Catharine Pepita Oliva. has created a complete fever at Berlin, less, it is pre sumable, on account of her talent, which does not surpass the ordinary level of provincial dancers in Spain, than for her personal attraction. To give a notion of the sensation, a leading newspaper begins thus its article :—" She came in through the Bran denburg gate ; the policeman, looking at her with admiration, forgot to call for her passport; the octrni agent did not ask her if she had any fraudulent ob ject ;" and so forth. Lucille Lirahn has returned to Copenhagen, her native place. The works for the restoration of the Imperial Theatre at Vienna were finished before the arrival of the foreign sovereigns. The theatre opened with the Dame Blanche, which had not been per formed for sixteen years. Baron Dingelstedt was sent to Paris to study the organisation of the different theatres. A new star from the Imperial Opera at Vienna, Miss Jenny hey , is rising above the horizon in Hamburg. he was born at tiraetz, and is said already to rival Jenny Lind. The fête performances given at I lamburg in honour of the King of the Belgians and his son were taken .elusively from the Iphegenia in Taurix, by Gluck, and Alphea, au anacreontie ballet, put on the stage by Paul Taglioni, and danced by Marie Taglioni and Lelma Bloch. The young Duke of Brabant, who had never before assisted at a ballet, remained the whole evening with his back turned towards the scene, and looking into the room, so that he did not see any thing going on on the stage. The Prophite has been performed at St. Peters burg, but, the Russian laws not permitting the theatrical performance of anything belonging to re ligious creeds, a new libretto was composed, and the piece is entitled The Siege of Ghent. The Art Exhibition at Malines will open on June .26. The first stone for the foundation of anew museum was laid at Hanover on May 27. Lessing, at Dusseldorf, has just terminated a masterpiece—" Luther Burning the Papal Bull," which incontestably surpa-ses any of his former pro ductions. It will go shortly to London, where the Dusseldorf painters find for the present a rich outlet for their productions, especially Swiss and Norwegian landscapes. Wegelin has been entrusted by the King of Prussia with a commission to make a tour through Belgium and Holland to take photographic models of the ancient and beautiful monuments of both those countries. An important discovery was made some time ago in a little Dutch island, nothing less than " The Last .Tudgment," by John Van Eyck, with panels showing the original portraits of Philippe le Bon, Duke of Burgundy, and his wife, to whom Van Eyck was Court painter. This important piece is now in Paris, in the hands of lawyers, awaiting an atnatett - , and will probably be the object of a proci , s cfMee be tween the original discoverer and a lawyer of Antwerp. At Rome, the late Hanoverian Charge d'Affaires, Gestner, discovered the original correspondence of oethe with the lady who was the type of Werther's Charlotte. It will be published forthwith. An adventurer who some time ago was travelling in Germany under the name of Prince Altieri, "le gate of the Pope," selling indulgences, deciding re served cases of canonic law, &c., bas been arrested at Vienna, and delivered over to the Papal authorities, who had him shut up in the fortress of Leo,rendered famous by the sojourn and death of another adven• turer of the last century, Count Cagliostro. The name of the pseudo Prince Altieri is Barrutti, from Ceva, in Piedmont. THE PRESS. The Rev. J. W. Hewett. M.A., to the Curacy of iThiXtlin•ellni• Melcombe, near Banbury.
