Their immediate de struction followed. To-day, Na.yen-ching (the General commanding the Imperial troops)has reported, that when the town Hwa was retaken, the rebels during the darkness of night, made a desperate attack ; the Government troops were playing upon them with spears and ar. rows, but were unable to produce any real effect; when suddenly, from a temple by the side of the town, a flame rose spontaneously and shone bright as noon. The Imperial troops then attacked in two divisions, pressing on the rebels from opposite points; their retreat was cot off , and the entire number of the rebels completely destroyed. After the affair was over, it was found, that by the side of the city was a' temple dediCated to the image We unaerstand foreigners continue tome enlistredi • on the Continent, and are forwarded to this country to he formed for service.

ANTIGONUS. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. I - Last night, Mr. Cn.tar,Es KEMBLE, after an ab sence of three years from the raetropolitan stage made his appearance in Macbeth, and • was received by the aodience•with the most flittering applause.— Ws cannot, however, congratulate him upon his selection of this character. It is a part which re quires no ordinary combination of talent to sustain with full effect : for the actor is left almost wholly to the rpsonrces of his own genius. If he delights at all, it niuq be by the felicitous delineation of those passions which are operating in the mind and heart of the tyrant, rather thin upon the incidents of the. drama. There are no scenes in Macbeth which, like many in Hamlet, Lear, or Othello, rouse the sym p ;thy of the audiecce, and carry the performer along in that full tide of feeling which they excite ; nor are there any situations in which the: principal personage is placed that awaken the softer emotions of the bosom. Ambition, stimulating to crime, and remorse for the crime that is cornmittod, are the only passions upon which the poet has built this fine tragedy, and to poortray their workingt, to show where they operate singly, where they blend, or where they meet in con- Aiding opposition, becomes the province of the ac-. tor.
