There is nothing bigotted nor intolerant in the Protestant Church—the most zialous of its digni lades, the most timid of its members, would rejlice to be convinced that Catholic Emancipation could be granted with safety to the national or reforme i reli t ion. It is only our own peace that we wish to preserve, and there is not a Protestant in Britain who, once convinced that we could safely allow the Roman Catholics to par ticipate in all the advantages which the true, and faith ful, and uticonditional subjects f the KING enjoy, would not at once grant the boon. The Duke of WELLINGTON re-echoes this sentiment, and while he expresses but little hope of seeing that desirable and ne cessary fact established, adm'ts his deep anxiety t r do all that can be done to settle the important question of Eacancipation. The letter strikes daggers to the agi tators of Ireland. The rebuke which it contains, in re. gird to the party feelings which have been mixed up with the qui stior, is pointed; and as the only possible mode of ever atriving at a favourable decision is to suffer all these feelings to subside, to bury antipathies in oblirien, and with trtal absence of rancour, preju dice, and irritation, diligently to consider what can be deviwd for the common benefit of the State. He must be an insensible person who, in defiance r f this advice, coupled as it is with a sincerely expressed anxiety for the welfare t.f all, wilfully persists in goading the Catholics to acts of treason, and forcing the Protestants to reluctant, but necessary, measures of self defence. The Paris J ,urnals of Wednesday, and the Gazelle de France dated Thursday, were received last night. Their contents are not of notch importance. The lat ter contains advices from Ja,sy of the sth imt. which nsay'be regarded as in some. degree an cfficiakconfir matiun of consiJerable disasters having been sustained' by the ltos,iatt army. An ititperial rescript, it appears, has beer rtceived at the Russian bead-quarters, in which the Emperor NICHOLAS refuses to General WITTGENSTEIN leave of absence, and the reason as signed for t is refusal is, the absolute necessity of that Gri.eral remaining at his post for Vie re-organization or t%e !mop , . The-e Pa i .ers contain an account of the trial of M. DE Purrbit, EJiLl.r of one of the Brussels Journals, for label, which ended in a popular tumult' of a very seditious character. Froth the cr. tice taken of the trial by 'he Paiis papers, the arbitrary proceedings of the Court anuld seem to have eaeited as much ii tetest in Fiance as in tl.e titherlands.

The principal dining-room was again used, and the banquet was attended in the 'same style of splendour as on the preceding evenings. His MAJESTY' Private Baud occupied the music-ro m, and played a variety of sacred pieces during the err , wing. Tne Cr m pany con-fisted of Lord and Lady.STRATHAVEN. Lrd and Lady MOUNTCHARLES, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. A. STANHOPE, the Bishop of CHICHESTER, and the distin guished individuals of his MAJESTY'S Household. Yesterday the Rev.

For I first represen tation, we never saw machinery work so smoothy ; in fact, there was but one ' St ; ck " in the course of the e= ening and that of a very t ivial description. The tricks at e not very many, but they were adroitly pet tot oned ; and, so far. gave satisfaction. The scenic ti.ns formaions were excellently massaged. The sudden con version of a number of brick fields ihto well tenanted s•reets. (a good idea. and pelf ctly accoida t w ith tru h) was managed w . th a swiftness and precision th it we have never seen excelled. Tuwat ds the end if t‘se pantomime, the American Dwarf, as he is denominated, a very earaordinary being, w as i:itiod ced, and es cited great astonishment. He can, however, scat eels be denominated a dwarf. His ley and thighs are, indeed dwaifi-h. being only 13 inches in length, but hi t= rink is th t o a large and well prow), tinned man. The muscular powers of his aims must be enotnsous. lle runs upon his hands with as much fence and celet t as well made men do upon their legs. When )0 see him descend, head filemost, ihorn the first rung of a chair, placed on the top of two rat.les. to th ground, you almost imagine that you behold a eery clever specimen of the undo genus. Scenery has lat teily usurped the place of th t coai se but hilarious humour by which pantomimes were formerly dis tinguished—and in scenery The Queen Bee is tit h. Mr Stanfield has coots Roiled a grand multi= g picture, the inttinsic merit of which wiuld save a bad pantescime. His peseta scene is folly equa'—in some pasts stipe rior—to anything thai be has Iteretnfote done. It com mences with a view of S, .thead—tl.ence we are wafted in succession to Portsmouth hatbour, the Dockyard. the Upper 11 etbour, G ispint, the Mother Bank, Isle 01 Wight (a here a beautiful view I f the sailing r f the Royal Yacht Club is exhibited), the Needles, by mono. tight, the ocean, the sock I f Gibraltar, and finally Constantinople. It i. an esquisite picture. The vie o L rd Nevis.% slip, the V ctory, 's the most gor h eous specimen of naval architectural painting that we ev r saw. It is upon a splendid scale, and gives a greed idea of the original. The view of Gibraltar, bristiing with fortifications, is uncommenly tine. It exhibits an extent of space, all men' led by the Ohne:ratio regune aud a grandeur of elevation. which seem to say, •• am invulnerable." Of the performers Miss Ritiata. is perhaps the Lest Columbine on the stage at present She danced through the part with skill and spit ic. As Harlequins go— Mr. Howes.r. may Ise sin ken sell Di, without any undue partiallity. Sou runs, as the Clow se, has something to boast of on the tense of bodil) strength and activity ; but we must oppo.c his claim to any portion of the vii cornica. The whole of that qua lily was absoa el by Mr. BARNES, whose Pantaloon has at present ho equal on the stage. The Pantomime was extremely well received. COVENT-GARDEN. Jane Shore was pet formed last night ; bat the galle. ties were so unceasingly rkitous that not a word cf what was saying on the stage could be heard, until to wards the close of the fifth act. The new Pant nine is called Harlequin and Lee Bed Riding Hood, or the Wizard and Me Wolf. It has, in point • f menet y and decorations, been got up with great splendour. and it has perhaps about the average amount of practical wit, that belongs to this class of productions. The first scene brings us acquainted with the Wizard, or Brown Man of the Hill, and frightful enough he looks for any degree of wickedness that can be imputed to him.— He is resolved that his son Mumpo (E. J. PansLor) who is shockingly de/rimed, shall massy Ito,e d'Amnur, who is the Little Red Ridinghood of the Pantomime. For this purpose the Bloats Man puts in requisition all . the fi ends over whom i.e has power , and an assemblage takes place which rivals the de moniacal displays of Der FreiseAutz. In order that his son may gain admittance to the cottage where Rose lives with her Granny. Ile transfotms him into a wolf—a shape in which ?ammo& makes an admi rable exhibition of the skill and Neil ty with which he can imitate the actions and habits of animal-. When the magical proceedings for insuring succ. as in obtaining pos,msion of Rose are completed, the enchanter causes his" chaotic dwelling" to vani.h, and changes the scene to Rouen, of which city a very fine view is given.— In the next scene we are introduced to B irley dust, the Miller (" I'. BLANCHARD), who also a pires to the hand of the beautiful It se. Her favoured lover, however, we find, is Colin (Eu.an), t! e M Iler's apprentice, and an amus:ng struggle mum between the master and , man, on the appearance of the obj ct of their joint affections. She runs away so her Granny's tottage, where Barley-dust follows her with some men, to catty her off, But Mum's", the wolf, has at- ive.: there beiore him, and made his entrance by the -tratagem related in the old tale. He gots into the bed in Granny's night clothes. and after holding she conversation with Rose about his great ears and his great eyes, which used to amuse and a-tonish our child hood, be rushes forth, and (tightens the invaders out of the cottage. The patties are then all gathered together in the Rosy Bower, where the Genius of the Rose. a benevolent fairy, descends, and taking the lovers under her protection, sets at defiance the Brow. , Man. and finally changes the hetoine and her pursues: into their usual pantomimic charmters. Colin becomes Harlequin, and Barley-dust Pantaloon ; Granny, who is well played by young GRIMALDI, is made Clown; umpo is converted into a nondescript being, under the title of Blanche-Noir, and Rose, of CORM, Co lumbire. The otdinary fun then begins, and con -tingles through fifteen or twenty scenes, until the Genius, taking pity uu the faithful couple, descends again and unites them. None of the tricks Were particular l) novel or striking ; but there was a liveliness throughout the whole that kept the audience in a laughing humour from beginning to end. The Clown nearly suffocates himself by stuffing something too large into his mouth He is conveyed to a doctors house, and the offending mouthful is extracted. He becomes instantly well, and by way of requiting the doctor, puts him into a mor tar, and pounds him alive. Harlequin is afterwards killed, and fired out of this mortar, then converted into a piece of ordinance, and he is seen to ascend into the air, and after showing himself in the highe s t stagebozes on each side of the house, be (or the figure that represents him, descends, and by his revival renews the merriment of the piece. Among the scenery there was an excel lent v i ew of the I s le of Wight at the time of the Re gatta at Cowes. The New Post Office was also moss accurately and sit ikohgly displayed; and in the opening of the St. Katie( inn Duck. in another scene the entrance of the vessels was admirably managed, and the repro. seutltion of the actual fact as perfect as ant could give The style in which the vessels steed round the bus sits was indeed excellent.

The Comedy of Lovers' Yaws was performed amidst the laughter and shouts of the galleries, and was succeeded by a new e.ntomime ' " invented and produced , " as the b ills have it, by Mr. W. BARRYMORE, pad enti'led the Queen Bee, or Harlequin and the Fairy Hive. The Pantomime opens with a splendid scene in the Honeycomb palace, .here all the subjects of her stinging Majesty. the Queen Bee, are t lying their odoriferous labours.— Her Nlajesty is offended at the conduct of a wor thy Gentleman, Mi. Drone, a winged swindler, who, in defiance of political economy, is an inordMire consumer, and no producer. lie is seized, deprived of his tail and wine (an indirect attack upon the kite- Hying system) and sent adtilt 1. to roam the flowers of Botany." Fortune now pays the Queen Bee a visit, f-r tie purpose of e.esi.ing means for the recovery . of a magic sword, which she had long before presented to Hai lequ n, who has latterly been incapacitated from using it, in consequence r f ex• rerne obesity, .. brought on by idleness and double X." The Queen Bee dis patches ore of her attendants to the village, where the old piebald hero sesides, with instructions to assist in the recovery of the :wind. o.d Harlequin—" four single Gentlemen rolled into' ne"—now makes his appearance. His whole family have become as unwiel,iy as elephants, but they all imagine that they are exceedingly agile, and, assisted by them, the .. on of flesh" retains pos. session of the sword. By a d splay of its powers he hops. to *it' the favour if .'Margery, the village school mi •tre.s, and idle , wards Columbine; but fails, as her affections are placed on the son of the lariJed H it lequir. TI is youth, aided by his mistress, breaks into old Harlequin's house to possess themselves of the sword. They are taken in the minim., and abait to be trans-, feired to il.e county gaol, when the Queen Bee appears, and the work of transformation begins. The superan nuated Harlequin becomes Pantaloon; his son sets up tot himself as Hai lequin ; Margery is metamorphosed into Columbine; and old Haileqiiin's footman and buler stands torth a. Clown. The usual pursuit then ; kes place, and aft .r encountering innumerable dif • s, Harlequin and Columbine are united by the Queen Bet in the Temple of Industry. 11 appears to us that the inventive faculty so neces sary in the to, et a clever pantomime has been for some time on the wane s to use a commercial pl.ra.e, the production which We last night witnessed dr.e. ni.t . ju.tity us in saling that it is at present " look ing up?

Again, what various uses did he not make of t' e pa•sing 'talons And propensities of the day. When he turned one of ths in into ridicule, he became a living epigram, so terse and pointed as to set translation entirely a; defies cc.

The quantity of tumbling, throwing, and jump. lug over Leads and through windows, was quit sufficient to satisfy the most voracious ,appetie for such entertainments, and most of them, as my be supposed from the names of the peiforawsx o ere exhibited in the most laughable manner. The scenic representations were some of them highly lso. mourous, and some of them really beautiful.

The pie:e concluded with a dance in the 114sec:a which all the dancing talent cf the company was pt it requisition. The announcement t f its repetiticu stal followed by universal applause. • SURREY. Last evening this popular Theatre was attended by an audience that might boast of its number, if not of its respectability. Mr. ELLISTON, than whom no mar knows better how to cater frr the public t iste, an. flounced the Play of Virginias, and a Pantomime called The Golden Goose, or Harlequin and the Gait of the Mine, and every part of the house was crowded at half price. The first piece went cif 14 in dumb show and wise," with the exception of a few passages, which were delivered with great force by Mr. OSIBALDESTON. in the character of Virginius. This Gentleman's ea' ertions, and those of Mrs. FrTzwrwass as Virginia, were much applauded. The moronity in the gallery land pit mete not only extremely noisy, but they created several very amusing incidents during the night. A poor unfm vitiate devil, one of the servants of the Theatre, was pelted with orange peel and biscuits till he war compelled to quit the stage. When the Pantomime com menced, the juveniles were in raptures. The holiday boys ceased cracking their n uts, and paid respectful attention to Messrs. Harlequin, Clown, Miss Columbine, &c. The opening of the piece represented an aspiring youth in search of Fortune, and he discovers the Gulden Goose, and by the aid 6 f his good Genius lie obtains the affection of the Princess of the island ; but lie doe; not obtain her hand till he has proved himself earthy of her by his surprising acts of daring intrepiJitp scenery was very beautiful, and the dresses costly. The most amusing scene was a burlesque representationd certain high legal characters. HILL, as Clown; Damson, as Pantaloon ; and Miss PERRY, as Columbia, exhibited no common display of muscular power and elasticity of limb.
