THEATRES. KING'S THEATRE.—An enterprising Management is performing wonders in this establishment, in pro ducing a succession of novelties to gratify and amuse the Public. On Saturday night a new Opera, with the sanction of the name of ROSSINI as its composer, was brought forward. It is entitled Il Turco in Italia t and the characters were distributed as under: Selim, a Turkish Prince j sgnorDxVaLr. on his travels - - - Donna Florilla•a coquet - I Signora RONZI Di Benxi. fish Lady - - - - Don Geronlo,her husband Signor Di Bream. Don Narcissus - - - Signor Cualoai. • Proxiocinao, a Poet - . Signor Pcacct. 7.aida —The story may be comprised in a brief recital.— Seale, with a taste rather singular for a Mussulman Prince, is travelling for his improvement, and to ac quire an insight into foreign manners. He arrives in Naples, and is smitten at his first landing with the . charms of Fiorillo, who, although fettered by the marriage tie, and also, after the received fashion in Italy, by the attentions of a cavalier servent, does not disdain his princely passion. Geronio, the husband, the tamest of his species, surprises them together, but his indignation soon softens into submission at the frown of Se/int and the objurgation of his wife, and he kisses the hem of Selina's &arment in token of reverence. The Turkish Prince, in true style of Ma hometan gallantry, proposes to Geronio to purchase his fair incumbrance, as the husband, in a soliloquy, very gallantly terms her, and to carry her off with him to adorn his harem. The proposal rouses the spirit of Geronio, and he dismisses &Um from his house in indignation. The Mussulman, thus foiled, determines to carry off the lady by stratagem, and a masquerade furnishes the opportunity. Don Narcis sus, however, the cicisbeo, in conjunction with Gero nio and Zaida, a lady formerly betrothed to Selina, and who has followed him in the disguise of a gipsey, form a design to counterplot the Turk. It succeeds. Narcissus appearing at the masquerade in the same dress as Selise, is mistaken for him by Fiorillo, who •is convinced of her error, and reconciled to Geronio. —Selina, on the discovery of Zaida, finds his passion for her return, and redeems the vows he had plighted. Prosdocineo, the poet, is a sort of a supernumerary personage, who considers the adventures and situa tions of the other characters only as they furnish sub ject for a drama which he is composing. The music is charming, full of the lightness and fancy of Itos sm. Signora RONZI DE BEGS! and Signor DE BEGNI, made their first appearance before an English au dience in this Opera. They are both from the Theatre halien of Paris. The Lady is remarkable for the delicate tone of her voice, which is of an excellent quality, but hardly powerful enough for so large a Theatre. Her execution and science are indisputable. She is also a good actress. Signor na BEGNI is a great acquisition to this Stage. The House was lite rally crowded at an early hour: The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER were present. Madame C..MPORESE sat with the Countess Sr. ANTONIO, in her Ladyship's box. DRURY-LANL—Saturday evening the favourite' Opera of Love in a Village was repeated. Miss Wit :sox and BRAHMA were in fine voice, and most of their songs were encored. The House was fashion ably and well attended. COVENT-GARDEN.—Saturday evening her MA JESTY, without any previous public announcement of her intention, honoured this Theatre with her presence, to witness the representation of the Tem pest. Her MAJESTY entered the Theatre towards the end of the first Act of the Play, and was immediately recognised by the audience, who rose and greeted her with shouts of applause. The actors who ureic on the Stage at the time of her MaJesry's entrance, were compelled to retire, amidst a general call for " GOD save the Queen!" After some short delay, (during which the cheering continued unabated) the perfot mers all came forward, and sung the National Air, in which MISS HALLANDE, Miss STEPHENS, Miss Foort, and Mr. Duauscr, took prominent parts, the whole of the audience standing uncovered, and almost universally vociferating the name of the " Queen!" at the conclusion of each stanza. Her MAJESTY, and attendants, occupied the box, wl.ich , was appropriated to her Royal husband when he visited this Theatre, namely, the first box of the dress circle on the left of the audience ; but no partition divided her from the rest of the company. She was dressed in white satin, with a hat of the same mate rial, ornamented with a plume of white feathers, fringed with crimson, and was attended by Lord and Lady HOOD, and two of her Pages. Her MAJESTY throughout the evening appeared to pay great atten tion to the performance. At the conclusion of the Play, " GOD save the King" was again sung by desire of the audience, who received it with increased en thusiasm, substituting, as before, the name of the Queen for that of the King. Her MAJESTY then retired amidst universal and prolonged cheering from all parts of the Theatre. Upon entering her carriage, her MAJESTY received every prsible mark of respect, and attachment from a great crowd assembled in the front of the Theatre, and anxiously awaiting her ap pearance. Her MAJESTY came from Hammersmith by way of Putney, and along Waterloo-bridge, and returned home by Hyde-Park-Comer. _ _ Saturday night, the Princess AUGUSTA, attended by the Countess Dowager of CARDIGAN, the Coun tess Dowager of HARCOURT, and General CART WRIGH r, honoured Covent-Garden Theatre with her presence. Her Royal Highness sat in the ICING's private box. Tier MAJESTY dined yesterday, for the first time, at her house in town, and returned in the evening to Brandenburgh House. Friday, a man, while superintending a boiling cop per at Mr. Cleaver's soap manufactory, by some acci dent fell in : he was soon taken out, but expired in the most excruciating agony, while being conveyed to an hospital. The Grand Jury, at the Sessions for Exeter, on Monday se'nnight, found a true bill against Mr. 1. Cox, attorney, of Honiton, for a libel on C. NORMAN, Esq. of Sidmouth. This libel was contained in a paragraph inserted in the Exeter Papers, c hargi ng NORMAN with cruelty in shooting a horse. At the same Sessions a true bill was found against P.Cor nigh Esq. of Exeter, for as assault on Mr. J. Cooxz. Liiff INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BRNCII, MAY 19. The Court sat and beard common motions, none of which possessed any public interest. Mr. Justice BEST afterwards sat to receive justifi cation of bail, a vast number of whom attended.— The Learned Judge was thus occupied until three o'clock. Several individuals were rejected as not qualified to justify for the double of the debt form ing the cause of action, as required by law. One, a tradesman near the Obelisk, St. George's fields, came to justify in two actions for £l5 and £2O. On being interrogated by Mr. Comma, it appeared that he had debts of his own for milk, coals, &c. not satis fied. The Learned Counsel questioned him, whether he had been bail in any other action? At first he denied that he had ; then explained that he meant to confine his denial to causes in the Court of King's Bench, and ultimately acknowledged that he was bail in the Exchequer and in the Common Pleas; but he could not recollect for whom, or the amount, be was so flurried; He assured the Learned Judge he had no wish to deceive, but was entirely unacquainted with the business. Mr. Justice 13EsT.—" You may be unacquainted with the business, but you appear to be a wholesale dealer : it is a bad trade you have entered into, and the sooner you get out of it the better. I shall reject this man's bail. Mr. Po LLOCIC." My Lord, I was ignorant of these circumstances, and allowed him to pass as bail in the' other cause. I hope your Lordship will allow him to be rejected there also?' Mr. Justice BEST.—" I think it should be so, Mr. Pollock: though a beginner, according to his own representation, he seems to have entered on his busi ness with energy enough." Mr. C H ITT,Y.—" I hope, if your Lordship wsw rejects him, as my friend Mr. Pollock desires, you will give us time to put in new bail. We are, as your Lordship sees, taken by surprize"—(Latighler ). Mr. Justice BEST.—" Oti, no doubt, Mr. Chitty, your client's surprize must he equal to his ignorance; but I cannot relieve you." POLICE. Bow-sTaErr.—Saturday, a lad, dressed in sailor's apparel, named David Adams, was brought before G. It. MiNsitut.t., Esq. by Mr. HUNT, the Governor of Portsmouth Jail, charged with stealing 1.45, the property of Sir ALEXANDER COOKE, of Devonshire street, Portland-place. Sir ALEXANDER stated, that the prisoner, up to the 25th of April last, was his footman. Oa that day he sent his coachman to his Banker's with a £3O cheque to get changed; and the former, when he returned, sent up the notes by the prisoner. Witness, in the presence cf th.: prisoner, then gave his son a £5 now, and put the remaining C 45 in a portfolio, in one of the cupboards of his drawing-room. Shortly after this, he was called into another room to attend to some friends; and while he was there, a maid-servant came to tell him that David (the prisoner) was nowhere to be found. 1 1 NVitness waited about two hours, expecting his re turn ; but finding he did not make his appearance, and that he had not taken his clothes with him, he suspected something wrong, and examining his port.' folio, he found that all the notes were gone. lle heard no more of the prisoner until that morning, when he was brought up from Portsmouth. Mr. Flusir stated, that he had received information of tEe robbery, with a description of the offender, and meet ing the prisoner in St. Mary -street, Portsmouth, it occurred to him, though he was disguised as a sea• man, that he was the person. He accosted him with Well, Adams, how long have you left Sir Alexan• der Cooke?" Ile at first denied that his name wa Adams, but soon confessed the fact, and said that he was glad he was taken, for that he had not known a moment's happiness since he committed the robbery. ‘Vitness searched him, and found a £5 and two RI notes, which he said were part of the stolen notes, and were all he had left. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, burst into tears, and begged Sir ALEX. ANDER would be merciful to him; he was very young, and the temptation was too 'strong for him. He added, that his mother was now in a dangerous state of ill ness, and he was afraid a knowledge of his situation would be fatal to her.—He was fully committed for trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions. Lately, a female eagle was shot while coming off her nest, which was situated near the head of Loch Fine. It is of uncommon size, and said to be one of the true Scottish tribe! From the bill to the tip of the tail it measures 3 feet II inches, between the tips of the wing 7 feet 3 inches, round the neck 9 inches, round the leg 9i inches ; even the hind claw is 2 1 inches in thickness. From the power possessed by this bird it must have been a formidable foe to the Highland lambs, and possessed sufficient strength and daring even to carry off a child if hard pushed. During the gale on the I tth tilt which proved fatal to the Thomas and Mary, and her crew, three boats in Chiswell Cove were in most imminent dan ger from the fury of the waves. At this juncture a Newfoundland dog plunged into the water, and reached the nearest boat. The crew immediately put a line into his mouth, and the sagacious animal re turned with it to the shore! This line was eagerly grasped by the sailors on the brach, a rope was fast ened to it, and all the three boats were safely pulled on the beach, one by one, the boats having a commu nication with each other, by means of a long rope. _ . A plant of the Arbor Iriatis has recently been brought to England, from the coast of Malabar. This curious exotic has only leaves on it in the day time; but about nine o'clock in the evening it is covered all over with flowers of a beautiful white colour, and of a most delicate smell. The following instance of the value of the potatoe in the fattening of cattle is deserving of notice :-21 1 acres were planted with potatoes, from the produce of which 40 fat beasts have been kept from the last week in February to the present time; also seven cows, l many pigs, &c. There still remains sufficient for-the beasts for three weeks to come, and seedfor 21 acres. The Gentleman who made the experiment, considers, one acre of potatoes equal to two of turnips, with this advantage, that when the potatoe begins to germ it is even more nutritious than when first taken out of the ground. The beasts average 50 stone ; cost per ' acre forty shilbuga. UNIVEASITV INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, MAY 18. Thomas Pell Platt, a A.

It is a common opinion, that every generation of man is less in stature, as well as shorter lived, than that which preceded it. The Author of liraverky has sliewn, from an examination of the stones into which the Devil long ago converted a refractory witch and her flock, that old women and geese are much smaller now-a-days than they formerly were; and it seems quite settled, that everything in this world grows less and less, except taxes and straw-bonnets! %Media there is any chance that these also may be diminished in the course of ages, we know not, but we hope so. The life also, as well as the stature, is shorter. There are now very few giants with three heads, and we cannot say we are sorry for it ; but we should like to meet with a man seven or eight hundred years old ; he would be able to tell us many strange tales, and, we suspect, would make an excel lent Editor f a Newspaper. But, alas! there is no hope.that we shall ever be blessed with such a sight; for if we listen to the croakers of this age, a man of forty has already one foot in the grave, and as for the women, then wither from their cradles. To prove; however, that times are not quite so bad as some good people would have them to be, we can state, that there are now living, within one mile of the White Horse Inn, in Myerscough, about six miles from Pres ton (a district not remarkably populous), no fewer than 27 persons, the youngest of whom is 72, and three of them 93 years old, and the total amount of whose ages is '2190 years. The fact is so curious, that we give a list of their names, with their several ages annexed : Mr. Henry Blacow - 9S Hannah Hothershall - P 3 mats TWILL Thomas Hindle - 79 James Wilkinson - - 79 Elizabeth Darlington - 7$ James Lee - - - 77 Mr. Ihrper - - - - 77 Mr. John Berton - 77 Elizabeth Rogerson - 76 Mrs. Barton - 74 Elisabeth Wells - - 74 Ann Cook - - - 72 Mary Wilkinson . 72 William Abbot 72 Hannah Lee - . - . 93 Mr. Richard Fisher - 91 A.

On the 7th inst. an invalid soldier, named Diprose, carried a sack of beans from Meopham Court Lodge to Hartwell, a distance of three miles, and a bad road, in one hour and twenty minutes. He had two `hours given for the completion of his task. He had the beans for his trouble. BtiITRS. l'hirsday,st Eremitical, the Lady of tha Rey. Ccor te ;.. Mark, of a eon.

The 13th instant, at Dover, suddenly, aged 74 years, Mr. John Woodcock, boat-builder, of Deal. %Ile was at St. Mary's Church in the morning of the above date, and seemed very cheer ful with some of his former acquaintance, with whom he pro- posed to dine ; he had reached the house of his friend, sad scarcely seated himaelf in a chair, when he exclaimed, Oh !" fell back, and instantly the vital spark was fled. At Sheal Douse, the 27th ult. at the advanced age of 112 years, Ann APRae, the widow of a Kintail farmer. Until the last winter she had never known a day's sickness, and her or gans of seeing and hearing were unimpaired ; and not many months ago she would run a race with many of her sex of the third and fourth generation. Old age is prossibial for peevish and fretful complaints of the degeneracy of the new race which starts up around them; but the lamentation of the subject of this memoir was somewhat singular, and being descriptive at the state of civilization in which her native country was, in her younger days, we render it into English, though with the ion of the force of the expression in the original—" I have awl happy days in Kintail, when every substantial retainer bad two wives, one in the valley, and another in the hill, and wins there was but one prayer and two graces in the parish !" The 3d inst. at Ashton, near Tarvin, Mrs. Sarah Parker, at the great age of 101, or 102, it not being quite clear which. Sle was a woman of wonderful memory, and strong constitution, and within two months of her death repeated an entire chapter ot:t of St. Luke's Gospel, to a Rev. Divine, wbo called w see her. She lived an irreproachable life, strongly impressed with the conviction of a superintending PILOVIDIDOCC ; and though rt. Vous, not gloomy, but of a cheerful disposition. It is said that she never had a day's illness in her long life, except in child bearing, and that which was her last. She was out in the gar den the day before she died, but at night she prayed it might be her last, and the Loan heard her. When about GO years of age, a wen arose in her neck, which had nearly deprived her d life, and which baffled all medical aid ; when in the last acre mity, she dreamed that a tall thin man with long white hair , approached her bed-side, and told her to wash it with hot brow and it alsotdd get better; she applied the remedy twice a-day, sod was well in a short space of time: she was mother to Mr.Mouls dale, of Runcorn, by a former husband. An Inquest was held on Thursday, at the Stag, in Gault- . street, Westminster, on the body of George Slight, who died to the Westminster Infirmary. it appeared in evidence that the deceased, a journeyman blacksmith, residing in Vauxhall-roods was going home through St. James's-pack, on the night of the 91st of April, in company with three friends; when they ago to the Stable-yard gate they found it shut, and his comps:AO went on to Buckingham-gate, but the deceased, wbs renuioni behind, attempted to scale the palisades at the gate, when he fell upon the spikes, one of which penetrated through the Inaa of his thigh into his body. In this state he was found by his companions, who carried him to the Infirmary, where hedidan Thursday. Verdict—.4ocidental SMITHFIELD MARKET, MAY 21.
