Tbat port Can no longer KING'S THEATRE.—Saturday night the frequen ters of the Opera House were amused for an hour or two with something like a revival of the memorable 0. P. diversions, at Covent Garden. The public had been invited, by the bills of Saturday, to witness the third representation of the splendid Ballet of La Reify de Golan:de, andlloxes, Pit, and Gallery, were crowded at an early hour.. A hand-bill was, however, circula ted, stating; that on account of the sudden indisposi tion of Mlle. CHERI', the Ballet was necessarily changed for that of Zefthyr maul _Flora, and that Miss SMITH would take Mile. CHIIRYIS part in the latter performance. The melodious notes of CATALAN! and TRAMEZZANI, in La Clemenza & no, kept down the spirit of insurrection until the commencement of the Ballet, when a violent kissing, intermixed with loud cries of—" Off I off I off I" began. The storm in. creased to a hurricane, when the music struck up the air which introduces Mlle. CHARY, for, nimbi!. diet% ,no substitute for that interesting Actress appeared I ---All the efforts of Madame DIDZLOT, who grace fully presented herself to supplicate tranguitlity were unavailing, and the riflemsear which came - from the pit acting like a sirocco paralysed not only the wings but the limbs of Zefthyr and Flosa. Vestals and AN (MUNI therefore languidly walked off and on the 1 stage like the two Kings of Brentford, smelling at one nosegay. The mute but eloquent perseverance of Madame DIDZLOT at length procured something like a majority of voices, from which the monosylla bles of " Go on, Go on," were loudly vociferated. Unluckily, however, AWGIOLINI either did not or would not understand the invitation, and walked off as I ftas lames with appropriate music. The ballet was of course shortened, and the rest of the performances went off with great langour. When die curtain dropped the audience seemed determine 4 to remain until the Manager made an apology, which Mr. Mut- Know accordingly did.

By a gentleman who arrived on Saturday from : Stockport we learn, that in cons:quence of tee great success of the ',sulfites in procuring arms by noctur- • nal visits, tin Has 10 and other Magistrates, in the . vicinity of Manchester, have been a u th or i se d by Go vernment to grant warrants-to the High Constable,.

Tuesday night last, the Laise, obtained a con siderable quantity. of arms. From the widow- of an officer they procured eight swords. The gang consisted of about 100, and they were headed by a person who, from all appearance, was much supe rior in rank' to a mechanic. They continue to pr.ia tise their m litary exercise under cover of night.

Thackray and Carlisle, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning se'nnight. The loss is estimated at 90001. The CALM Of the fire is unknown. We are sorry to say, that our private accounts from the western part of Yorkshire, upon which we can rely with confidence, are of a very alarming nature. They state, that the malcontents hold nightly watches on the tops of the hills, lighting beacons, or making some other sort of signals ; and when the cavalry are proceeding . to surprise them, rockets are thrown up to give notice of their approach, and the assemblage is of course dispersed before the troops can reach it.
