THE NATIONAL REGPSTER.' Collini. After a miner and actres s of suc h exce ll ence as eatalani, the task was uncommonly arduous, auttderaanded po small degree of indulgence from the public. Madame Collini seemed to feel the difficulty she had to encounter, and her manners powerfully influenced the spectators in her favour. This first itnpressioa was soon ripened into favour, for she displayed very superior powers both of Voice and action. In her features she resembles the cap tivating Grassini, and her tune is also of the same quality. She sung with ease, clearness, and taste. The music is a promising specimen of the master, and was very much ap plauded. Naldi was received with the warm welcome which he deserves; for his comedy is a high treat to the Connoisseur. A new Divertisement and Ballet displayed the strength of the corps of Dancers. We have had no suet talenti for many years. Young Vcstris sprung forward with all the power and activity which his father possessed seventeen years ago; and the same astonishing talent seemed to be revived and identified. We have no doubt but that his performance. will excite the same furor. It is really won derful. The force, truth, and neatness with which he performs his movements exceed any thing that we have seen since the day of his father—for Des Hayes is a per former of another class. The graceful attitude and air of the one, with the wonderful execution of the other, will compose a picture perfect in its kind. The house was in a paroxism of vociferation in the pa: de deux of Vestris and his partucr, Mademoiselle Angiolini. She is extremely elegant in her figure, petite, but finely formed ; and she has acquired the manner of Vestris. Her equilibrium is perfect. She •finishes the most difficult movement with truth ; and her posture has great strength. • Certainly since the first year of Des Hayes, when he -had also Didelot and Rose, we have had no such Corps de Ballet in regard to riucipals as were exhibited last night. 31 There being no person in London to identify him, and of course no one to charge him with felony upon oath, he could not be committed to prison. He was, therefore, locked up In a, strongroom in the Brown Bear publicAhnse, lu Bow-street. — Yesterday morning, he said he Wanted to go into the yard, when a man, the servant of Mr. Mazard, the landlord, attended him as usual. When be was about to return Into the house again, he suddenly knocked his attendant dawn, and, in consequence of some paling which separated that yard from the butcher's, the house adjoining, there was a free and uninterrupted access to a large space of wattle ground, at the back-of Russell-street. w hick leads into a narrow court in Russell-street, through which he made his escape. The hue and cry of " Stop thief" was raised, and several men ran in ail directions, but in vain. Just after the escape had taken place, an offiterarrised from Ediuburgh, fur the purpose of ideatifying his person, and con. veying him thither. Some evenings ago, the Rising Sun public-house, In Suffolk* street, as well as the pot-boy, narrowly escaped from being de stroyed by tire. The landlord, after the company had retired, and his whole family had gone to bed, felt a strong burning smell. After a minute search, be- found it issued from the bed room of the pot-boy. On bursting open the door, he saw the bed in flames, tt hilst the boy was found asleep in it. With great exertions he succeeded in confining the flames to that roots only. The hay's clothes were burnt, but himself escaped. The tire originated from the unpardonable practice of sticking tite candle on one of the posts, apd the boy's falling asleep without extinguishing it.
