THEATRICALS. T.ANIS.—A new ecmic Opera, in three *eft, coiled Phittntlering, or the Rose Qmeen, was pro:limed here, last n ips, to a how, crowded in every part. It was what may be called, Nell received. As a dramatic composition however. we cannot speak very highly of it. The author, in the a 'vertiseruent to the little hook of songs, honestly r efoei us for his mit-rial• to no higher source then the french Ballet, Le Prince Tronloadour, and the Otters of .roeonde. and lie his disarmed criticism by ado() tied:zing t• the nonsense" of his poetry, which he thinks, however. mi .,- he excused on the score of the difficulty m'op'ing language to mn,ic already written." The following is a sketch of the plot :—The principa' irridents iTa this opera are founded on the Feast of the tbaiiere, once so prevalent in many of the villages of Pro :rare, and in some parts of Germany this feast,she who wa s declared by the ,Matrons of the village to he the most modest, was crowned with a wreath of roses, and received a marriage portion. Two old peasants, the ore (Dowrots) of a merry, the other (Tsnee) of a severe character, each having a daughter, whom he educates, the one with every imbilgence, the other by locking her up from all the festivities of the village, each hopes his s l a ughter may obtain the wreath, and the piece opens on the eve of the festival. The Seigneur of the village, Con»: Amaranta (Mr. Beittam) pays his first visit to his castle at this period, accompanied by his intended wife Ma. tilde (Mks Fonts) together with Philander (Sir. lats Tote) and his intended bride, Emile (Miss STeisflasiP). The Count and Philander become uneasy at the flirting pro• penalties, and determine to put their *Erection to the test by making love to each other's mistresses. The ladies, timing!' the means of .inselmo (Mr. Menace) a protege of the Count, kaving become acquainted with their phi, pumish them by encouraging the feigned add The Count f4E, his friend on this deterniin : to desert them.and vowing venzeauce against the n hole srx.leave the 'castle, assume tete disguise of Tronhadours, and proceeded to thereast of the Ito es, where they commence their careerof Philandering with Pauline (Mad. VEsTitiS), the daughter t,f the jolly peasant, oho has already a lover in the person of Maize (litviattl), to whom she contintts faithful. Their ladies follow them in the disguise of Gipsies. and discover and pun sb their apparent inconstancy. bioette (Hiss SmiTusota), the daughter of the severe peasant, thee) sets up clans to Philander as her husband ; which ii at length expliined l'y its proving to be the Conest's pro:ege, who had in series! her under the assumes! Dime of Philander. Eke catastrophe of the marriage of all the parties a ill he of course anticipated. When to the tames already mentioned we add that of if a !met in Vie school maitre, it will he evident that the strength of the esmipany was not spired upon this occasion, and the per' farmers• in their r_ epee tier ways, slid their best witb their auateriiit t if those materials had hut always been such as could heat elicit their power.. • lint Liirom, in particular, teemed to have no opportunity for displaying his peculiar coin ; and seeirs only to have been thrust into the part of Coast Philander, for the novel purpose of singing duets v ith I RAIIAN and Miss STspilENs.

AND THR COWS. TORIAL COURTS OF SCOTLAND. We feel plrasnre in being able to enmmonicate to dur traders, many of whom may not be aware of the fact, that a very important and beneficial change has just been in tro laced into the law of Scutt Ind, on the sulmject of personal stlecrssien. By time former fulr, cot. Urination tbelare tie g.otninissaries was necessary in intestate succession, not wryly to enable the executor to adminiver and take pos. oosion of the funds, but even to vest the rights in him at 4n, so as to transmit it again to his own representatives end it had been justly observed, that neglect, arising from An over conlidrtice in life, was daily producing the most tittiiimppy conseqoeners in this particular, while, in many "sin, the jolt tight of succession was forfeited by the it ttrvening death of the exectoot, ant inx time deprodeoce f a disputed proiininquity.

We un lerstand that many highly advantageous arrangements have ken:l3oord., with regard to the Commissary Coot t of Etioburgh. The office of principal clerk is a sinecure, stitch it has lath. rto been, is now at an end, oldie the f•r4 oldie whole officers of Court, as well as of the vac. .itiJnere, have been regulated. Various heavy exactions, ill nacre of (pot', composition, sentence money, &e. sortie of nhicl, originated co far back as the days of our episco• lacy, have been abolisbasd,-and an additional relief afforded time introduction of abridged extracts of decrees. Other iftessures, it is believed, have been adopted, under authority of the commissaries themselves, for shortening judicial procedure; perhaps, after all that has been said, the must rentital and the Last exceptionable mode of diminishing neprofessional charges of litigation, so that those who uny have successions to real.xe, will be enabled to do so fuhivv, at comparatively trifling expense.

The pension was derived from the Commissariat fund. Had nut 'teen the child for some time previous to Sept. 102. Saw her frequently afterwards, between that time and the following January. The prisoner married the daughter of liaddeley. He called and requested Some infairmation relative to hi. wife. She was at his hmise on the let January last year. The prisoner came that day and followed the servant into the room As so in as he Caine in witness ordered him to take a chair, which lie did, and plisced it about two ' feet from the table with his hick against the will. The table was between him and witness; the bile was tilting on the opposite side of the fire place; witness asked prig iner to Ws* a glass of wine; be replied, he would witness leaned across the table and placed doe before him by this time the prisoner bad drawn two feet nearer to witness, and placed his bands under the table—at this moineut he heard something lick,. as if pistols were cock. iug ; almost immediately prisoner raised his aria and filed; but wittfess felt tio bodily hurt at the found afterwards that a ball bed pasird through the lower part of the lappel of his under coat, between the ribs and the groin. After the firing, witness went round the table to the prisoner,' and remonstrated with Min, and told him that if he did tint moderate his passion, he would,do something that would be seriods At that time witness thought that he fired at the wife and not at him. Alr. Reynolds and witn•ds were sitting near each other. The prlsoaer then prodttced a perdnal pistil which he fired. By this time the wife had altered the pbsition of her chair. It was not likely that t h e pistol was directed to (lie wifron• less the ; risoner I htendid that the ball should first petrol -late his (witnesses) body. Witness enquired if the pistols were loaded with ball; prisoner answered, he was sure of flak f.ir he lead.

Witness again asked prisoner if the pistols were loaded with ball, Ile said," they were, an d tney are now in you." He put the pistols os the table.— On making search afterwards, it was discovered that the halls head passed through the tire screen, and rebounded to the opposite side of the room. Witness found one in his, brteches; it having passed through all his clothes. The prisoner laid on the table a lecer, which his wife caught up, but afterward laid it down again. Witness proceeded to read it. Prisioner said. sneeringly. " 1 sup. , pose you never saw that before." Wituess replied "No : So help me, Hod ; I never dill.

IVitnese, in ansaer Los question by Mr. ANDMVS, said, " upon my honour, as a gentleman and a soldier, I never had Any illicit inter course with his wife ; nor ever took any liberty with her whatever, so help me, Hod." The sarranta of the General were then called, and core roborated the foregoing testimony. The prisoner made no defence, but called a great many very respectable witnesses, who gave him an excellent character, for humanity and general good conduct. The Jury:retired for a short time, and returned into Court with a verdict of Huilty—Death ; but recommended him to mercy on account of t.is previous good chars ter. EXTRAO2DINARY CASE OF SWINDLING.

Court and passages were crowded to excess all the lime. After evidence had been adduced for the prosecution, the defendant addressed the Court at considerable length in his deettre I and witnesses having been heard is pis be• half, the Recorder summed up the evideuce. The Jury then retired, and in two hours returned a verdict (46164. The defendant seemed to be quite overcome at hearing has doom l lie hid his face belt% een his heeds and sobbed.

Thb first Evening Meeting of the Bristol Philosophical and Literary Society, which was held on Monday. in the Theatfe of the Institution,. Park Street, was very numer Jnsly attended by the members and their friends. Several Lathes were present. John Scandret liarford, Esq. who was in the Chair, opened the business of the evening with a short addreari, stating, tit 4tikei had ;always felt the liveliest interest in every thing connected with the welfare and the honour of Brist-1 ; anti that, while he lamented that an Abler chairman hail not been selected, he could not but ex pvierice impressions of the highest gratification, that he should he called to preside at the first Evening Aireting of this Society, established foe the cultivation an" extension of science and literature. That-when he consi dered the solid and extended Laois of tilent formed by the Society, in its many and valuable honorary MeMbers and Associates,fthd its numerous scientific and literary members, he could not but augur the most favourable and creditable results; and that he doubted not that the future Evenint Nieetings of this Sod ty, so admirably calculated for elicit ing genuis. and talent, would afford. to the Members and their Mends many rich and delightful opportunities of indulging in the highest intellectual enjoyments. That ?row the concentration of die - mental energies already so happily Wean and so likely to be folly effected by titis Society, he firmly • believed, there would emanate rays al such genial inflamed as would pervade the heart and mind of every inhabitant of Bristol„ rouse the latent powers, bring in.o lively action the dorthant facul ties, and stimulate to deep research, and to the attainment of individual excellence in every dcpartaaditt of useful and ornamental knowledge. That he could with conscious satisfaction reflect, that Bristol had ever proudly and justly ranked the highest amongst those cities in the British dominions distingutsh. ea for their extensive and numerous benevolent instill now, be was most happy to say, that, to the future glory of Bristol, subsetrient historians would have to record the establishment of the present Society, as the Boost efficient engine ever employed, to roll away from our ancient city the unmerited, though long-endured, reproach of • backwardness to foster, to eueoorage; and to promote the sciences, literature, and the line arts. , That, earnest as he then felt, and ever should feel for ! the honour and prosperity of this Society; and tLe city in which it was formed, be could not but indulge in the animated prospective Views that arose in his mind on the present occasion; he cbuld not but contemplate the future soils of Bristol upholding with unshaken firmness the benevolent strut tares raised by treir virtuous forefathers, and, at the saute time, honourably exercising their lectual powers in the fruitftil dad boundless field of scien tific and literary purenits. Numerous answers from the honorary members elected at a previotis meeting were then read; they were uniformly of •the moat gratifyilig . description: among them we par ticularly noticed those of Messrs. Southey; 11'014, and Roscoe, Capts. Parry and Kater, and Pinks/ors SeJgewick and Henslow. ftt- After the preliminary hvisiness of the meeting had heen diapatcheil, the Rev. %V. D.Ctinybeare read a contiiination of his former paper " On the Oii;ain and Progoebs of • Scientific and Literary Associations." The author pointed out in what manner the vast genius of Bacon (that illostriuus interpreter of nature) hail, two c en tu r i e s ago, clearly defined the path to be its future pur. sued in scientific research. That the r AIM progress and accumulated *nal, of scientific discovery, which dis• tinguished the petiod separating the age of Bactin from our own. did not, by any means, render unnecessary tile employment of (roils instruments of investigation. Th a t so exhaustless ii nature, that. the world itself would grow old 'in parenismg the knowledge elf bet Unfathomable mysteries. That there reutaitmed flat indeed the discovery of a new world to transmit to futurity the name of a Coluutblis ; nor another nni , which by the detection of its laws eaald isimortaliza the memory of another New ton;.-..yet therm remained, and lung would renstin to but no less profitable inheri tpleh city . ce.o en mple ib. lee ti a ng datz aatr g' applying in detail the gigantic labours of those masters in science. That to accomplish twat and must desirable object, the aid derived front scientific associations like that we are now forrnit.g, comes into operation with the most decided efficacy. Th a t without enter aiutng exaggerated prospect., and even shook' the original discoveries emanating from it be few, still important advantage must accrtte from at, institution calculated to diffa.e a knowledge of the general progress of science. in a istighbOurbood so eitensive, and which had proved (as appeared from time lists of honorary members jaw read) nut nsfertile in high• and various ti!ent—tic added, that had this institution arisen a f e w wears earlier, the splendid discoveries of Sir Ilumphrev * Davy woull 4 utast probably, bare been made within these walls. The author then took a• survey of the progressive ad• vanc•weut of Natural History, •lieology, Chemistry, Me• teorol••gy, As•rono:►ly, Electricity, introdacing.so.ne new and very ingenious observations on the apparent cAnzidence between the Planeary motions and the awe tions übserrable in Electra Ilagnetisni. After taking a luminous view of the probability that, in all the plienotne• na of n stare, fru•tr the vast to the minute, there prevailed but tlieoperation ut one and the same simple principle, the author concluded by directing the attention of his audi tors to the golden chain of connecting causes, which, de• scending from Vie Throne of the De3y, binds all nature in i indissoluble dependence and union ; adding, that it is ooly from partial views of nature that sceptical opinions arise ; instam ing the doubts which some 'triter , had endeavoured to throw on the Gtoriation sehroor, from confining their I views to tJ►e mightier operations of Divine Puller in the' , arrangement of tl►e starry universe, and thence inferring that the inhabitant of * speck in that universe could not have attracted so great a portion of Divine regard. To these doubts, he obs•rveil, the consideration of the richness of Divine wis !out, profusely lavished in the structure of the meanest insect, afforded the must satisfactory reply, indicating an universal sitperictendance, which no multi• plicity of obj•eta could distract--wt.iel► no division could alioninish.—fle concluded by repeating the assertion of tiecou—Naturalein Ptiilosophiam tsnq•tam fillissiinam et acceptisslmain ancillain rrligiuni attribui—cum al:er vo. lantalean Doi. alters potestu•etn manifestat. Tolls paperreeriv.•d the unqualified approbation of the meeting ; and a vole was pasted. that as one of the luau• gore! papers, it be given at length in the Journals of the Society's transaciions. The ltev. Gridiron an closed the proceedings of the evening by his going through a series of interesting experiments in liser:ro tdoeisistry.
