OPERL-11013111. ' The Opera or IA 'Moose di Tito war revived last night to the great gratification of the musical public. As it is most prohohly owing to the good sent, and spirited Uwe of Mr. ATIITON that it lima been so speedily brought forward, and hiding it Ini• promise of that frequent reeprrence to the best works to which the theatre hate of late shewn so libeval • tendency. we would, among the rest, throw in our . useless thanks. It is now a vain lark to descant upon - The comparative excellencies of MOZART, or to endeavour to fix upon the exact degree of perfection which would correspond to each of his operas. Mr. Arrow has made the public pretty well acquaint. ed with them, and no music exercises such absolute sway over the feelings and opinions of the audience. The overture was loudly encored last night. The opera introduced a lady, named Madame ALBUM; . to the public, in the part of P irellis. She is of what is termed portly appearance—a face which, to say the least, has been hmudsome—and a carriage more ' stately than • graceful. Her subdued voice was very tuaricill and flexible ' but nut well articulated, at any rate not enough so for the perfection of %Italian. singing; and her pinto vote was neither expressed nor accented duly. Her manner was Mt. posing, and • dull sort of sentiency overspread her features, which ported extremely well with the in. litigating and ambitious character which the hsd.to sustain. She was, therefore, felt in full force while seducing the young patrician from his allegiunce,with the air of " Deh to placer," mingling with it as she did the poignancy of feminine allurements and the tyranny of caprice. She displayed great taste for embellishment, and a consummate knowledge orate scale with all its inversion.. Had her execution been as prompt as her skill was mealiest, she would have triumphed. She was loudly encored with Mad. C•MPORRIE in the duet, " Deh perdoaa," which Ints perhaps a-ver been sung better. The prelude operated like • charm in subduing 'the whole house to instant silence and almost revisited attention. We need not say that it was encored rapturously. CORSON! played Tito, and as his skill also is more finished than his vocal execution, he came oil better in the recitative, which are in his part abundant and arduous, than in the airs. The song "Sc *IC impere ausici Del," was, however,wel I given, and in accordance of feeling with the lofty and impressive character of the cow tion. Madame CAMPORESB perforMed Serbs; she can do nothing annweend calls out euchantment from • the dullest music. She warbled last night as if she were the genius of the lyric drama. Her forte is •paw.ion rather than power, and whet between the tenderness of Mrrsirresto's l:oetry, the music of MOZART. and her own unerring loom she breath ed melody ice its utmost perfection. It is difficult to describe how finely she inflated with gusts of gentle passion the expressive imagery of the poet. Hate had not sung them as exquisitely a. she did, it would he worth while to praise her fur the sake of quoting there four liner, which she addressed to Vitellie on her apprehension, containing, as they do.. ale of the choicest preitinesses that can be found : 'in any amatory verses:— " Se al vivito mai ti semi Licee aura else s'aggiri, Gli 'strain saspiri Quell' stile rank." Not to repeat any thing as to her style of singing " lick perdoea," she gave an effect of melancholy earnestness to " Parto; ma to bee *do." It would be tedious to follow a description of all the pasisuges which she marked with the excellence of her exe cution. We shall ()illy n►rntiou, besides those ready noticed, the celebrated recitative where the capitol is it:firmed, and her share of the firetfirsofe, which is perhaps the most deeply wrought of any composition of is kind. BEGYEZ performed Amnia, assd Miss Moat Servilia, and very agreeably cur• pitied that part of the audicice which bad not heard them in it before, with their tasteful and emphatic performance of their duet " Delt Puede," &c. A/4- GRISANI fulfilled his duty in Publio. He is en ex cellent bass, and a very si•rviceable performer. The house overflowed in the pit. The Duke mid Duchess of GLOUCBSTER were present, besides fashiom•tbles almost unaccountable. The head-dresses of the ladies becemt mote ry as the season advances. Satin hats, slouched or turn ed up, profusely trimmrd with feathers or flowers; Whims, interleaved with pink or gold ; or lace caps, braided all over with flowers ; or else the hair orna mented with wreaths or bouquets : such were the lending characteristics of the ladies' head gear, and the appearance was like parterres of immortal gar dens all in blossom, to which it has so often, for want of a more forcible image, been compared. covENT-GAILDSIts Litst night Miss HALLANDE made her appear ance as Zelindu, in tns opera of The Move, for the filet time in that character, hitherto sustained by Miss STEPHIENS. She executed the songs allotted to the part with taste cud sweetness, particularly the id', " SONS of Freedom! laser iwy story." which was lousily encored. Mr. MACREADY Was very effective in pourtraying the high-minded Gamble. The other Charnctrrs were well supported, and the opera went off with tchat. The house displayed • full and fashionable audience.

The SO LICITOR-G EN KRA I. woe heard on a former day in support of the rule obtained last Term fur a new trial In this case, on the ground that the whole of the supposed improvement was merely an altera tion of the size and shape of the stay, winch Cap tain Brown had before applied to the link of the chain, to present it from collapsing, and the whole of the improvement was making it what the Plain tiff called a " broad-ended" stay, and in the speci fication ha did nut claim it as part of Isis inven tion, but as a mode of carrying his improve ments into execution. Mr. SCARMITT was heard this morning in sup. port of the validity of the patent ; he contended, that the application of the stay to the ship's cable was at least a new combination of a principle known before, and was, therefore, a proper subject for the protection of a patent. The LOOM CAHN? JUSTICE was of opinion that there was sufficient novelty in the cable to have supported a patent lied a patent been taken out for that alone; but this potent bring for three improve . merits, sod one of the three (namely the improve ment in anchors) being defective, the whole patent was vitiated. The rule fur a new trial must be . made absolute. Mr. Justice PAYLET concurred with the Lord Chief Justice. One of the improvements for which the patent was granted proving defective, clearly vitiated the entire patent, as it was optional in the Crown to grant a patent, and it might be that it was granted its consideration of there being three improvements, and it would have been refused had there been only one. Mr. Justice BUT had great doubts, even if the chain could be considered Slew ; at all events the anchor was out; and he concurred with his learned *sabers that one pert of the patent being defectives the whole was vitiated.

Oa Friday night lest. about the hour of one o'clock. a fire broke out in a cabin is Upper Wel kin-street, belonging to a man of the name of Smith, whose wife and three children were then asleep in the house. It was discovered by as young man of the neighbourhood, who was providetitially inning at the time, and saw the smoke issuing from the cabin. He instantly burst its the door and alarmed the family. The mother, who was severely burned on both her arms and on the face, Mime• diately rushed out. The young man returned into the house to save the children, all of whom be brought out alive, but, we regret to say, one of them. a girl about five years old, was so severely burned that she did nut survive many minutes. The other two escaped without injury. This cala mity wee occasioned by the carelessnees of the mother, who stuck • candle to the wall, beside wnich she and her children lay, and left her son (a boy about eleven years old) to take care of • horse which was sick, and which was in the sense apart ment with the family. The boy becoming weary, lay down, and unfortunately fell asleep : the candle fell into the straw on which they lay, and the house was soon in flames. The adjoining house was im mediately stripped of its thatch, and thereby, the .coiumunrcation being cat off, the fire was soon got under. Mr. N. Colley, engine-keeper, &c. at tended on the instant, and continued on the spot until three o'clock, by which time the fire was conspletely subdued.

CHILD MURDER. - —.--- Yesterday morning a female child was found ermined 1 . . into a tunnel in Gore-lane, Knightsbridge. Its head hail 1 ..: bun crushed, the boors broken, and the body bruised. In. formation has be.. given la the Coroner, who has appointed . en inquest to be bell diereses. This is the fifth child that haa been found dead under suspicious eircuenstsrisees in the ninne lane esithia the last three or four months. It is coo- jeettared that MISS inhuman wretch, who keeps a house for . the reception of pregusat ladies, after their sccoorliensent, disposes of the children in the manner above described.— The Dicers of the perish are determined to make the Ilillb i strict inquiry into this affair. Oh Monday the 941 April, between nine and test o'clock in the forenoon, two men came tip to the Cork and Skobbereeo Accommodation Coach, at a {glace called New-mill, within about two miles of Rosscarbety, and requested a lift from that place to Bandon for ten-pence each. This offer the coachman refused, saying they should settle with the agent in Clonskilty. One of the men then seized the reins, and the other looked into the coach, where finding only one passenger (a gentle- man of tii Skibbereen), he , in conjunction w it h hi s fellow-ruffian , attacked and ill-treated. the drives. Leaving the unfortunate man nearly dead, from their extreme ill-wage, they 'led the horses to the '. l brink of a chasm, down which they precipitated them and the carriage; the passenger s oho appears to have taken no part iu the affray, having pre- viously made his escape. The views of the depre- dators do trot appear to have been those of plunder. 1 —(Cork Soothers Reporter.) 7: f 4-' 4 '. t • $.
