DRURY•LANE THEATRE. The new Opera of Aladdix, which has been so lone in preparati In, was represeitted the first time at this Theatre on Saturday night. The plot is too familiar to the readt-rs of the .rahian nights' Entertainments, and to those who have seen it introduced in mel to render it necessai y to be rerated. These were three attractions in the new Opera to produce an andieoce, namely, Mr. BISHOP': music, the debut of Miss JOHN SON as nour.,:akal, and some well executed new scenery, applicable to the tale. The new actress, allowing fora List appearaiice, acquitted herself exceedingly well. Her singing is gracetol, and she mananes her urp r notes with much skill: Miss Sferraxes performed Aladdix, and warbled her notes with her usual sweet ness. The ..chub was entrusted to SINCLAIR, who ex ert 11 him elf with his usual ability. HORN personated Moarad, the ench inter, and did ample justice to this very arduous character. The music of Mr. BISHOP has much merit. It k scientific and chaste, compared with the romantic flights of sen.e of his cotemporaties, which suit the taste of the present day. There are a few reelodies, and cannot fail of becoming pcipular, but. the Opera, though aided by excellent music, admirable soigng, and a display of spendid scenery, was given oit for a second representation amidst disapprobation and applause. M. Elector sat in the Orchestra, and was loudly cheered by the audience. FRENCH APPEALS. Sa'urday the Lords of his Majesty's Moat Honourable Privy Council assembled at the Council Office, White -11411, to hear French appeals against the decision of the Commissioners appointed to investigate the claims of itish subjects. Their Lordships assembled at half past ten o'clock. There were present, the Earl of Har rowby as the Lord President, L•rd Stowell, Lord Col- chester, Lord Bexley, and the Muter of the Rolls. Sir, .I , ,hn Nichol was prevented from giving his attendance, in consequence of having received a severe injury • from being thrown from his horse, on Friday, in St. Jinte%'s Park. The Earl of Harrowby, after he had opened the Court, mired to attend a meeting of the Cabinet Nfuis ters at the Ball of Liverpool's house, at the breaking up of which, at half-past twelve o'clock, the Noble Earl re sumed his seat at the Board. The first appeal was that of Yeengitesband, which occupied bat a short time. The nest appeal was that of Mrs. DeMeld and others, which oco cepied the remainder of the day. norsui:4Quic and Mr. OAaa were beard for the appellants, and the King's Advocate and blr. 'lmmix in ',position. It appeared that Mrs. Duffield, and ether English women, six in number, had emigrated from England to France, and become proprietors of a monastery in Paris, which was known by the name of the Blue•eyed Nun nery, where Nuns were received, and Mrs. Duffield was elected Abbess by the other inhabitants of the place, h•ch had been established as an English Nunnery for upwai d, of two. hundred years, sanctioned by the King of Fi ante and the Pope. At the time of the Revolution, in the year 1790, all monasteries, and similar religious establishments, were abolished, which included that of Mrs. Duffield. On the 10th October 1/93 a decree was issubd cooliscating all _ British property, which Included these premises. In the mouth or November, 1795, the property was restored, and in the year 1800 it was again confiscated. . During all these years, after the abolition of the con vents, monasteries, &c. Mrs. Duffield, and the other Ladies connected with it, were allowed to pursue the profe•ssion of teaching your, females, and in pursuing tins course it was contended that they had forfeited their characters as British subjects, and therefore had a good claim for the restoration of their confiscated pro perty hid' consisted of a house, a church, and gardens. Mrs. Duffield's claim was opposed on various grounds, viz, that she had become is French subject ; that she had cmba: ked her money in an illegal establishment, which cootd not be considered secular ; their Lordships' deci sion was urged in the case of Douay College, as being against this; and the only capacity she could claim in was as a lay subject. It was also urged against Mrs. Duffield that she claimed for herself and the three sur I vitrots out of the seven, and also for the administiators of the deceased's partners, without its appearing by what authority she did so. Mr. FONBLANQUZ admitted and regretted the infor mality, but urged the equitable claim upon their Loa d ships, and trusted that it they should think the infor mality fatal, they would at least award the portion of Duffield't individual claim. At half-pat two the Counsel were ordered to withdraw. • Tbeir Lorddlips continued in private deliberation till half-past four o'clock,but did not make their decision known. The Duke of Davortsutan will embark at Sheerness on Saturday next, for St. Petersburgh. He goes in a seventy-four, but a steam-packet and a transport will accompany hiM. Friday night, an alarming fire broke out at Swallow. fi ice, the seat of Sir Henry Russell, near Windsor, which considerably damaged the out-offices; and, last night, another file broke out on the premises of Mr. l Suns, tobaccmust, in the Broadway, Biack.riars, but it occasioned little damage. MAT DAY.—This is the anniversary of the birth of Addison, 1672 ; death of Uryden, 1701 ; and supposed abolition of the slavelrade, 1807.—May is so called from Main, the mother of Mercury, to whom sacrifices' ss es e offei ed by the Romans on the first of the month; by the Saxons, it was designated Tri-Mikhi, the juices of the young grass being so beneficial to the cows as to enable them to efford milt three times in the day. Me an evident toriuption of Atty, was the old Cornish name of this month. The last May pole in London was taken down in 1717, and conveyed to Wansted, in Essex, where it was fized In the park for the support of an im mensely large telescope. Wednesday the house of Mr. Perry, the Water Works public-house, corner of Ebury.square, Chelsea, was robbed of SOI together with some silver spoons, at mid. dAy, under the following circumstances, which should bt• *Hide known, as it is a new system of depredation. Far sonic days pi evious, two men, one short and the other tall, had c ihled several times to enquire of Mr. Perry what day the collector would be there, as they wished to see him and give an order. On one or two occasions they asked Mr: P. to take a ride in their gig, which they drove up to the door. On the day above. mentioned they again visited him, and while the tall Nes kept bins in conversation at the bar, the other, wham Mr. P. had supposed had gone into the parlour, went up stairs, and committed the robbery, and effected his escape over a low wall adjoining the lane which lrads se. the square. Tie other walked delibetately Off. Fortunately a much larger sum escaped the villain's notice. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. • ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE WEEK. Tans Rrastreo—The Marchioness of .

STATE of TRADE. Boveow.—The mast etteniive and appalli misery is said to prevail In this town: Without f ood and clothing, and attacked by a disease of a peculiarly malignant nature, a great portion of the manufacturing population is represented to be in a most deplorable state; and the subtcriptions are almost exhausted.— Much of the deptiv.stion of the weavers arises flow the extreme lowness of their wages. A very judicious and pu%erful st,p has been adopted in an attempt to alle viate this evil, we hope with time chance of success. HOCHDAI.2.—TheIe a , e upwards of ten thousand persons ssi•ted ekly by means at a public subscrip tion, for svh.rn there remains no alrerniitive but starva • ion, shoslld chat, their only meAtis of siippisrt,be cut of. MACCI.2 FlELD.—Extract if a letter dated Maccles field, April 28.- 44 The applica. inns to the uvet seer ire I on the increase, and in the adjoining small township of Sutton, there were last week 4.0 persons relieved in one day. It will be impossible for the parish to support the burdens thrown upon it, unless some alteration takes place; for on Wednesday week no less than 105 claim- ants presen.ed themselves. To sum up the state of thirgs here, 1 may say this unless some speedy and effectual r. zrre.ly be administered, it must end in con sequence; to be sincerely &Timed. So depressed are most branclie, of trade h..te, that pawnhtokei s, in many cases, a eohli . ed to !rinse pledges, for want of sufficient ready money to make the necessary advances." iiitADYORIE—Unow4I and almost unparalleled dis tress--distress which, at some former pviodi s would almost have rent the frame of society asunder, has been preoing upon ail classes of the community here ; and yet it has been borne, not only without any spirit of in subordination being manifested, but without murmuring. STOCKPORT.—W• have not the least improvement to notice in the trade of this district during the last week : on the contrary, the aspect of every thing is mix@ and more gloomy. Several manufacturers have, we under stand, determined to close their works entirely as soon as their stock of raw material is worked up —Stock! port Advertiser. Noftwrcu.— ,6 No former period," says a letter from Norwich, " has ever witnessed the distress which has prevailed here during the last three mouths. We have, out of a population of 60,000 persons, 14 000 relieved oat of doors, 700 of whom are set to work in the roads and streets, one shilling per day ;700 are in the work home, and 100 in the infirmary. Our rates will be this quarter ten billings in the pound ; and the prospect of trade is very bad." EMI:MAT - WIC-At the meeting of weavers on SAtur dal- last, amongst other modes of relief suggested for the increasing misery, it was proposed that application should be made to Government for a grant to transport those who were willing to the new establishments in Canada, similar to what was done some years ago. This was objected to, on the ground that the season would be too far advanced ere any thing could be done, but the proposer adverted to what was the case with the first settlers in New Perth; it was late in the year before they arrived at Kingston, and they were subsisted during the winter by Government, anal alto* ed to work where they could find it ; besides, there was no settle ment formed, whereas now, land was I.tii down in townships. and ready for occupying. From all accounts, those who remained on the lands, and were industrious, bad yearly increased in wealth and wot idly comforts; an), to be sure, those who would not apply themselves there, as well as anywhere else, could not expect suc cess. The question was deferred till another oppor. tunny.—Glasgow Free Press. The Duke and Dischess of GLOLVESTZB gave an en tertainment on Thursday evening at their residence in Park-lane; the Princess Autatims was of the party. Mr. ARBUTHNOT, on the Charing Cross Improve. meat Bill, said that it was now determined to take down Exeter 'Change %that Lord &rpm. &c. had promptly expressed them selves re ady to meet the public wishes on this subject ; and that as seen as the Act passed, the Commissioners would proceed to carry the projected alterations into effect.

After the usual toasts had been drank, ' his Lordship informed the company that the Soc . ety's funds are in a state of prosperity ; and that it is in tended to increase the establishment in Cross -street, Hatton Garden, where a cc' lain number of boys, the children of soldiers, sailors, and marines;natiees of Scotland, who have died or been disabled in the ser vice of their country, are supported and educated. In the course of the evening, several donations to a consi derable amount were announced. The company were enlivened by the musical talents of Messrs. PYNR, BROADHURST, and other professional Gentlemen. Mr. BROADHURST sang several Scotch songs in his very best style. The Noble Chairman did not (pit the chair until 11 o'clock, when the company separated, app. rentky highly satisfied with the hilarity of the evening.

Jerrensoa, Agent.arrived from Dominica, whence she sailed on the 16th March, wish the second Division of the sth Regiment of Foot, under Major CULLRY, which have since landed at Cumber land Fort. Such was the regret of the inhabitants at their departure, that coloured people, as well as white, flocked in crowds to Morne Bruce, to shake hands with them, and take a farewell. The Joseph Green took out a Detachment of the Ist Battalion of the Ist Regiment of Foot to Barbadoes. It is a circumstance worthy of mention, that Captain Mumunt, who commanded the Detachment, is the only surviving individual belonging to the Regiment when it served in that Island six and' twenty years reviotply.

Saturday the first meeine of the Bankrupts Thos. Hurst, J ihn Hurst, and Joseph Ogle Robinson, took place before the Commisioners, Messrs. Montague, Meggison, Edison, /cc. at the Court, 114singhall-street. The business of the day -was chiefly confined to re ceiving proofs of debts, bat we believe the extent of the proofs did not exceed 50,0001. though the liabilities of the several estates amount to 500 0001. The follut►ing debts were proved :—Str Charles Ogle, Bart. of 1411botreet. Berkeley-square, 20,525 L on a bond, and interest; Meows. T. and J.

GUII.OHALL Mr nasty now, a surgeon of some eminence in the Walwarth Road, was charged with assaulting Mr. J. Berridge, a gentlemati Mho has also acquired some notoriety by his unremitting endeavours' to convince the Ministers, the Parliament, and the Puir:ic, that the whole British Navy is affected with the dry rot. The easy seemed to he, that Mr. Berridge joined a numerous patty of Ladies and gentlemen, at the Furnival's Inn Hotel, at a very We Toone , and found the Ladies amusing themselves with slipping from one to tho other Mr. Thorpe's sioulf.borr. Nose it happened that Mr. Thorpe is, as Ic desctihed himself, an inveterate snuff.taket. The Ladies handed the boa to Mr. Berridge, who secreted it in another room, but it was subsequently restored to the Surgeon. Mr, 'Thorpe had repeatedly begged Mr. B. to restore his snuff-box, but the latter in timated that it had been sent out of the house; and when he found that it was in Mr. B.'s possession at that very time, he publicly told him his conduct was sally and insulting; to which Mr. Berridge replied, that his adversary was a ditty pitiful scoundrel. Thereupon ensued, to use Mr. Burridge's own words, " The greatest dis turbance that perhaps ever happened in the world!" Mr. T. struck Mr. Berridge such a blow that he, chair and all, came to the g r o und with an alarming clatter, and the company was broken up. Mr. T. thought the language applied to him justified his violence % but Mr. Alderman Co: thought otherwise, and ordered him to And bail. BOW-STREET. Saturday, a young man of very gentlemanly appearance, who gave his name Jain Rowell, was brought up in cuitudy, charged on suspicion of stealing a gold watch and a valuable d.smontl pin.— Remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Banks. the landlord of the Blue Posts, in the Haymarket, was convicted in the penalty of M. by Mr. Ron. on Saturday, for having his home open at half-past three o'clock in the morning, on the oc. CASiOJI of the Fancy Dress Ball for the relief of the distressed Spa niards,/ at the King's Theatre, a few nights ago. WORSHIP STREET. Saturday, Artists Ben.*ld, Robert S 2 vmg e , and Marks Wily*, were charged with breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Robert Bigg, a coal-merchant, at Islington, and stealing property to a considerable amount. Maria Goodwin, servant to Mr. Bigg, stated, that she slept in the front kitchen. On the preceding Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, she fastened the doors and windows, and locked the front kitchen door. She awoke about a qu4rter efore five o'clock, and then discovered the house had been broken into. The back kitchen windows had been bored through with a centre-bit, and the bar inside had been removed. The robbers entered the kitchens, and must have passed the servant asleep in bed, and had gone up stairs, where they bad forced a desk and several lucks, and had taken "away a pocket-book containing bills and bank-notes. There were also missing a work-box, a lamp. &c. The same morning Parker. a watchman in Sh ore dit c h, about half past four o'clock, in Hackney Road, observed the threeprieeners turn nut of Union -street, and come towards him. Wilson bad a parcel under his left arm. Just as they came opposite, two other watchmen turned out of Union street, and beckoned to Parker, who instantly went up to the pri soners, who an three turned round and faced him. Parker went up to lay hold of Wilson, but be ran away. The watchman threw his stick after him, when be dropped the work-bcx, which proved to be the same which Mr. Bigg had lost, and they then ran off. lt was stated by a man named Jackson, that he saw Retitled and Savage run down Cooper's Garaens, and they had a centre-bit, which they passed from on e to the other, and then threw it over a wall, where it was afterwards found, and exactly fitted the marks on Mr. itgg's shutter. Jackson pursued Benfield and Savage, but they turned round and each of them presented a pistol, and at length all the Prisoners made their escape. • The sinkers of this establishment having received this information, Armstrong, in company with Attfield and Eagles, went to a house in Kent street, in the Borough, and there they found Wilson.— They told him they took hint on charge of a felony, and he made no resistan ce . On Friday night, they gained intelligence where to find the other prisoners, who they knew always went armed. Armstrong, Gfeed, Attfield, Vann, and Raglea, accordingly proceeded to a public house. and entered the tap room about eight o'clock. Bonfield and Savage were in a box, smoking. The moment they saw the officers, they jumped up ; and just as Benfield was drawing a loaded pistol front Isis Pocket, Hanley rushed upon him and held his arm, and the pistol fell on the Boor • and in the confusion, Eagle's pist il off. bat fortunately wit hout wounding any body. At the same time Arm strong and Vann secured Savage. On Benfield, who resisted being searched, they found a snuff box, a toothpick ease, and a small knife, which were stolen from Mr. Bin's house. The pistols were both loaded and primed. and each of the prisoners had bullets in their pocket. Savage's lodgings were also searched, and a lamp was found, which Mrs. lhgg proved to be theirs. Previous to the arrest of these men, two mown, named Matilda Hall and Emily Savage, residing in Crab Tree row where Ben field and Savage resorted, were apprehended on suspk.ion of receiving the property, and committed to Clerkenwell for further damnation. It appeared these women had written to Benfieid and Savage to warn them to be off, for in searching Benfield the officers found the following letter : " Clerkettwell, Wednesday, April 26, 1826.

Trnsactiens to an immense event appear to have been entered into in the scrip, contingent on the delivery, but the adjust ment of them has eteated no diflcuky. It was expected that the new stock would become a faverrke investment, and the tranue. dons of yesterday fully conftrat this.
