VP SEPTEMIIER 10, 1833. gkt Pa Ma. DRURY•LANE THEATRE. Mn. Gustavus Brooke is fulfilling an engagement here, with the sueeessindicated by crowded audiences at reduced prices, and vcc•iferous applause. Witl► certain classes of the public Mr. Brooke is very popular. He is essentially a physical actor, whose personal advantages render him more than usually attractive ; but he wants the intellect, the passion, and the tragic inspiration required to satisfy a titlerC and refined critical taste. Among the additional induce melds attending his return is announced the recovery 4)f his voice, which,when he last appeared in London, had almost wholly left him. We are not sure that its restoration is an advantage, for, although it is au unusually powerful and resonant organ, and yet capable, if well guided, of giving exquisite effect to passages of tenderness, it tempts Mr. Brooke to plunge more recklessly than ever into mere physical acting. The best imperso►ation of Mr. Brook., is his Othello, which be performed with decided success on Monday. Two new plays a►te announced, when we shall have an opportunity of testing Mr. Brooke by a leas severe standard than that afforded by the masterpieces of Shaksl►care. Stitna anb Xittraturt gtbroab. MATERIAL PROGRESS or ltr•ssLA.—Regular steam. packets have been established on the whole course of the Volga, the extent of which is 3,400 kilometres. At the fair of Nkini-Novogorod, which is held every year, large quantities of merchandise have been brought from Astrachan by barques which were drawn by steamers the whole distance. News front 4impheropol state that the culture of silk amongst the (termini colonists of Tauris is making great pro gress, and that the last crop amounted to 4,000 'was (NII,IMNI kiltogrannileS). It is very likely that silk will, in a short time, rank amongst the most important produce of Southern Russia. Muntett.—EXPERIMENTI4 WTTII W 1101) GAR.--A com• mission, with Baron liehig at its head, has gone to Ueyreuth to report on some experiments to be made there with the above gas. A tbrmer cufflinks' , consisting of members of the city council of Munich, had reported unfavourably. This will decide whether coal or wood gas shall be preferred, a question of iutportanee where wood is abundant. _ 111 , PitiARIAN LITERATURE. —The first work in the ilutnnutian language on the East Ladies has just appeared, front the pen of Count Andrassy. The count has visited Aden, Ceylon, .Ima, China, and Bengal, and his descriptions of nature and hunting scenes are interesting. The illustrations are front sketches by the author, lithographed and printed in Paris. REFLECTINO SPECULA havelbeen known in China for thousands of years. They are of finely-polished metal, and on the hack some fantastic figures are engraved. I f one looks at the plate itself he perceives nothing; but. if the sun shines on the polished mur faee, and its rays fall on a White wall, the figures will appear shadow-like in this retlectigni. The Chinese could not explain this phenomenon. M. Lerebours, the skilled mechanician of Paris, has not only made but perfected them, and they were exhibited to the Academy of Sciences. Totem. Tullman' TIM Airs.—A convention has been coneltuled lately at Lausanne, between the dele. gates of Sardinia, of the Valais, snot the Canton du Vaud, according to which the road fr►m Martigny to Ao,tta by the (treat Saint Bernard is Lobe cnn►pleted in five years. Sanlinia will form the road through its territory entirely at its own expense, Is 4 Valais will form that up to the tunnel, and the Canton du Vaunt will pa) 9.01),000 fr►uies for the construction of the tunnel, aunt obtain equal sum from the other cantons anti the federal llover►ment. IIoTzEN, in the Tyrol, on the southern slope of the Alps, is most advantageously situated for the growing If fruit and vegetables, already extolled by lioethe. The late Archduke Himer bad for some time patron ised yearly exhibitions, but that of this year sur passed all others of former years. DEEP-OCEAN SousinNo has occupied much )0 among American navigators, and several i ingenious inventions have been deviseAl in order to facilitate the operation, or extend the range to which soundings can be carefully carried throngh the profoundest waters of mid-ocean. Charged to carry out this object of discovery, one United States brig, the Dolphin, has been engaged for some months upon the OCC4II belt stretching between America and Scotland, and his now arrived in the Southampton Water, prior to rvommeneing experiments in other directions : !'

A NEW AND INDEND)ra APTLICATION Or ELEC- Tnicrry has excited much interiest its Turin lately. The, Chevalier lkwielli, director of the Sanliiiiim tele graiples, has invented eleetrie weaving machines, destined to replace with itelvimbige the francs d la .lacquartl, for weaving figured stuffs. floods are as yet wanting respecting this invention, which appears destined to produce a groat change in industrial aiatteN. Tim QuEsTlobg whether Paris will have an Italian Opera this season still remains undecided. Colonel Regina has obtained a 'organise of 11w privilege, but under conditions first, of depositing, on or boefore the 15th of this month, a sum of lOW NM if.; and, secondly, of giving satisfaettory 'moo& Ue the Minister of State that his company shall include certain artistrg designated by his excellency. Tales, these conditions lie complied with it i. much to b e appn•hended that for this meamon, at least, Paris will be the only great capital in Europe without en Italian Opera.
