The dramatic part is taken .froM BEAUMARCHAIS, but greatly curtailed, for that Which ()temples five acts in the original is reduced to tyro in the translation. It is, however, the music oflii3Oriptit t _thaveonrtitutes the most striking feature% of the perforniifice, which has been got up with considerable taste and splendour. The story is briefly as follows:.—Therare (Mr. Beanaat) is a distinguished General, in the service of Aler (Mr. H. Pralwes).- Sultan of Persia, whose life, we are told, be had formerly saved ; but be has the misfortune of possessing a beautiful with, stsfasia t with whom his Sovereign falls desperately inks% The Sultan of course endeavours to seduce her &freedom from her husband ; but finding her chastity Invincible while she has the company of Tarrare, he determines to try what of a separation will pro duce. With the help of affaisere (Mr. hums), another Gene ral, and son of the High 'Mast of Brame, a plot is laid, which terminates in her being violently carried away in a boat by 'tams while Terrors is engaged in extinguishing the flames of his palace , which they had set on fire. He is told that the Lady is taken beyond the limits of the Sultan's territory. while she is cesesaled In the secret recesses of Ms Harem.

While these events are passing, our Readers must bear An mind that splendid processions and ex quisite music are also _ going forward; and it is eel tainly as a musical piece alone that the Opera can be said to challenge praise. In that respect we consider its claims very high, and the names of the performers will vouch for the excellent manner in which it has been got np. Mr. BitA HAM and Miss PAroic were the most conspicuous in the list ; they were in fine voice, and they exerted themselves to the utmost of their abilities. Mr. Ilamtau was twice encored in a difficult song in the bravora style. The part of Astasia, was performed by a young Lady. The young Lady it a pupil of Miss KELLY, and upon this occasion made her first appearance upon any stage.

By BARCLAY MOUNTZN EY. Bvo. L-mdon, 1825. At a time when mining speculations mite so -much' interest, that every week almost brings forth some new project for disembowelling the earth of its treasures, a wot k like this cannot fail of being acceptable. Mr. Mounteney is not ambitious of authorship, and can didly acknowledges that his work is what it professes to be, selections. Ile might, however, have taken to himself the merit of great industry in his researches, of much judgment and sound discrimination in the ar rangement of his subject. Independent of the descrip tion of the mines, the laws respecting them, their pro duce, &c. the work contains much historical and geo graphical information on the subject of the Brazils, very useful to every person designing to settle there. On the subject of the Brazilian Mines, it appears to contain the spirit of all preceding writers on the sub-I int; and the author gives a list of about thirty wor ks which he has consulted, including all new works up the time of its publication. Narrative of a Journey into Khorasan, in the years 1821 andlB22, including some Aecount of the bun tries to the North East of Persia, &c. Sic. By JAMES B. FRASER. 4to. London, 1825. This is an interesting volume, by an author whose previous yolk on the I-limala Mountains has rendered him favourably known to the public. It contains a very minute account of the inhabit Ants of Persia, their manners, customs,&c. and though less flattering-than the picture given by previous travellers, we doubt not its correctness. The following is an account of some Koordish or Toorkoman customs : • Ir is the custom among the Toorkomans for a man to purchase his wife--e certain number of camels, sheep, or cattle, constituting the price. The women are valuable as servants, not only attending to the household matters, but manufacturing such articles as the family sells, the men paying little attention to anything beyond the larger cattle, and their plundering expeditious. It is somewhat singular that, in these bargains, a widow who has been some years married, bears a far higher value than a young girl: the latter will bring front two to four hundred rupees ; the former as many thou. sands. Five camels is a common price for a girl ; from fifty to a hun dred are often given for a woman who has been married, and is still in the prime of life. The reason assigned for this curious choice is, that the former is not supposed to. be as yet by any Illtllllll ac. spatted with the management of a family, or with the occupa tions and manufactures that render a woman valuable to her hus band; and so great may be the difference of degree in this species of knowledge, that* woman known to excel in it, will command the large price above stated. " It is, however, rendered highly probable from this high price, that polygamy must be less common among the Toorkoman tribes than in other Mahometan countries. Whether from this cause or not, I cannot say; but it is certain that, their women ate by far more prolific than others, even as I was assured, in the proportion of two to one. I can myself assert, that out of every camp we passed through, such crowds of child ren issued, that one of my ser vants, in amazement, cried out that It was " like an ant-hill." They were stout. healthy, hardy little creatures, almost naked. and it was gdmirable to see the courage and unconcern with which in fants, that seemed scarcely able to walk, would splash and plunge in streams that would have made an European mother scream. Every thing about them told of the rough school in which they were re ceiving Abair education. My host, Khallee Khan, though by no means advanced in life, had ten fine sons, born of his two wives." IMPROVED TIME-PIECE. A Gentleman of Cambridge-, who is skilled in the science 9f esperimestal chemistry, and also of mecha nism, has lately brought to perfection a timekeeper se simple in its construction, that its entire movement Iconsists of only one common wheel and a lever, which act by a chemical process. This ingenious piece of mechanism will neither require the operation of wind ing nor cleaning. PIIIRCING OP HOT IRON BY SULPHUR. Colonel Evasin, Director of the Arsenal at Meta, in a letter to Guy Lussae, states the following experi ments :—" I placed a bar of wrought iron, about six tenths of an inch in thickness, in a common forge, fed by fossil coal, and when it was welding hot, I drew it out, and applied to the surface a stick of sulphur, six-tenths of an inch in diameter. In 14 seconds the sulphur had pierced a hole through the iron perfectly circular. Another bar of iron, two inches thick, was pierced in 15 seconds. The holes had the exact form of the stick of sulphur employed, whether cylindrical or prismatic. They were, however, more regular on the side at which the sulphur came out, than on that to which it was applied."—Mechanics Magazine. FRENCH SOCIETY PREVIOUS TO TUT REVOLUTION. My remarks on society raised me many enemies, be cause they were true, piquant, and without exaggera tion. One fashion was so prevalent then, that I must explain the practice. The Ladies were in the habit olf asking all the Gentlemen of their acquaintance for their old gold epaulettes, their gold lace sword-knots, or the laces on their coats, &c. (which were thus taken from the servants), and which the Ladies then untwisted ; that is to say, they separated the gold from the silk, to sell the former afterwards for their own profit. Besides, they received as presents on New Year's Day, bobbins of tinsel, or little atticles covered with gold, which they untwisted and sold. In general, an able untwister might gain at this singular trade 100 Louis a-year I I have seen Madame de Boaters receive from the Duke of Lauzun a false harp, made of gold fringe, ohich cost nearly a thnu•and francs. All this was untwisted, to be sold at half-price ; it would have been much less expensive to the giver, and less troublesome to the receiver. to have got the money at once. My remarks upon the fashion of untwisting for ever put an end to this disgraceful practice ; and there was never afterwards an instance of a woman • who ventured to ask a man for gold lace to untwist.—Alearoirs of Madame de Geniis. Thursday, the 4th instant, an Inquest was held at Rhiwaleg, in the county of Cardigan, on the body of Rees Evans, who was killed by lightning. He and two other men were mowing hay together, and there was also a girl raking hay within a few yards of them. They were all struck down by a flash of lightning, and followed by the loudest peal of thun der ever heard by the two last-mentioned men, but the girl neither saw the lightning nor heard the thun der I Two of the men and the girl immediately reco vered, but Rees Evans never rose again. A large hole was perceptible in the crown of the hat, opposite which' his hair was much singed. There was no other mark of violence on his body or clothes, but the part of the handle of the scythe to which the whetting board is usually attached was much ►haltered, and wine pieces of it were found at a great distance. One of the sur vivors was much sturshed, and found be had an ex coriation of the size of half a crown on either kg.
