Nothing could be more fasc;itating and delghtful than the rural dance which took place on the Nythe, near Alresfurd, on the 16th and 18th inst., in com memoration of the Anniversary of the little of Waterloo. A most delightful bower was erected, tastefully ornamented with laurels, and which was attended by upwards of one hundred couple ; on Monday, the weather proving mote favourable, it was repeated with much greater spirit, when neatly two hundred couple were at one time "tripping on the light fantastic toe," to the lively notes of a full band. The natural beauties of the place selected for the occairiou, attracted the greatest and most re. rpectuble assemblage ever witnessed at any of the Mugtings in the neighbourhood ; and to heighten this plriping pattirue, boats, by the special per mission of Lord Rounsir, were constantly plying across Alreaford Pond, for the conveyance of ladies and gentlemen to the scene of amusetnent. .y,, . • . OPERA-KOESK. Non* di Figaro, the charming opera of the incomparable Moses?, was performed at this theatre oo Saturday night. Madame Da BEGNI was the Countess ; her excellent personation of the character left ws• nothing to regret in the loss of the interesting•Medarne FODOR, who formerly appeared in it with so much advantage. The con fident air and arch intriguing eye of Mad. %Turrets recommend her as an admirable representative of Cherubim). She made indeed a very pretty page, played with naivete. and her songs of Now so pie Rasa son," and " Poi the :epee," were executed in good style. Mad.C•meoasse performed Susanna. It is a part which she has played for several seasons, and her excellence in it is familiar to the pub lic. ASIBROOETTI proved himself gay, spirited, and graceful in the Coast ; and a more efficient auc. cessor .to poor NALDI, in Figaro, could not be wished for than ANG a111•NI. The whole perform. ince went off with eclat. The house was crowded to excess ; every box displayed its portion of fair sad elegant tenantry.' Fier Royal flightless the Princess AUGUSTA. his Royal Highness Prince LEOPOLD, and a large port of the first classes of nobility and gentry, graced the splendid circles. COVENT-GARDEN. Don John, or The Tao Violettas, was performed at this theatre on Saturday night, Miss Lova sus taining the part of the First i ioletta insteud of Miss H•LLANDB. The melo-drama of Undine fol lowed. the characters s's usual. Nothing occurred in either performance to demand particular notice. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. The opera of fakir and Yorico was presented on Saturday night. The merit. of it is well known to consist more in the dialogue than the lyrical composition. The music is rather behind the taste of the present period, being destitute of the attraction and interest which the advanced culture of the art now demands. The parts were efficiently sustained. Miss KELLY is of course the main pillar. It world be nn information to the public to describe why and wherein she deserves praise in her performance of Yarieo. She blends the energy of passion with feminine reserve; she mingles the spirit of poetry with the natural flow of the affections, and all so happily, that those who cannot admire her are justly excluded from the court of critical joidgment. Mr. Row- DOTHAN was rather too ponderous in declaiming the part of the mercenary Inkk. It is, however, a dif f icult part to play agreeably to the taste of the audience, on account of the arid baseness with which it is coloured. Mr. Baomarivast performed Cap. ruin Caropky with tolerable spirit. His sing. ing is pretty, but it has nut the proper submit for dramatic effect. lie introduced " Believe me if all those endearing young charms," from the Irish Melodies, which was much admired and en cored. We apprehend that he would s-cure less qualified approbation if he would bring out the acce n ted antes in bolder relief. Be has a manner, too, of stopping the time, and withdrawing his voice in the moist of a strain, as if he were lying in wait to trick his hearers out of their approbation, by which he can only succeed in surpiising the least valuable judgments. Miss WITHAM sustained the part of hi. isiumorafa, looked very pretty, end sang with sio less fascination. Miss STB• TENSON was agreeably pert and ini. e hie eous in the part of the waiting-woman. Miss SKY HOUR performed Wowaki as well as could be wished. Mr. WILKINSON. as Trudge, discharged himself of his duties with that easy, slouching, and aeltcompacted humour which distinguishes him. Mr. BARTLEY was a hippy representative of Me Christopher Curry; not only did lie enforce the Itchiness and generosity of the old soldier, but his plumpness. the jovial character of his face, and the natural pleasantry of his temper, were all in line keeping with them. The Vampire succeeded the play; the fine scenic pieperotions created as much admiration as at fist. Mr. T. P. COOK EC was as effective as ever. The other parts, it must be owned (with the exception of Mr. BARTLEY), by falling into other hands, have suffered some di minution of effect. Thu is chiefly felt iii the cur tailments of the music, which was from the first well chosen and adapted, and sung with no leas ex cellence. The entertainm e nts o n ly want the addi tion of some agreeable and interesting music. to make them very highly attractive. On Wednesday last JOHN POWELL POWELL. Esq. landed at Southampton, from his yacht, the Briton, end paid the ringers • visit ; after ringing several touches of grandstre trebles with them, ut Flolyrhoods church, he made them • handsome present. This Gentleman is an admired amateur in that art ; he has erected a t ower i n his park, iu the isle of Thsnet, where he has • fine peal of twelve bells, and has engaged • company of ringers, who are constantly in practice, under the tuition of Mr. SHIPWAY.

The characters have humour and respectability conjoined; the execution is masterly; the colouring rich and appropriate, sad relieved by • breadth of shadow which agreeably heightens the interest. The illustrious proprietor is really to be envied the possession of this piece. We omitted to notice before Nu. SI, Madowea del Calla, by BAROCCIO. It is hard to determine whether the works or the history of the artist are the most ioteresting. The latter is the must painful. He was as amiable men, as may be are. by the taste be has displayed in the physiogsiumies o f this piece ; but he lingered, and died from the effects of poison administered to him fruits motives of professional jealousy. The Pickier Jost meatiooed exemplifies nut only the graces of his stied, but his affectionate distil:milieu. The counte. lessees (in all probability of his own family) have an expres sion of 'niggled tenderness and sanctity which it is difficult justly to describe, though the effect is quite soul-subduing. The colouring is of light, rich, and harmonious delicacy . He is said to hare approached the softness and grace of Co.. SICIOIO. We are mistaken if in the former characteristic he has not goue beyond him. POLICE OP THE METROPOLIS. As a renewal of the Police Act is ender the consideration of Petition/eta we avail ourselves of this occasion to 'solace the continuance sad prevalence of one of the must dis graceful nuisances in the metropolis. We allude to the scenes of vice, and the most abandoned and revolting licentiousness, which have long been suffered to be openly prartioud every night in Si. James's, the Green. and Ilya. Pinks ' as well as to the ',mother of thieves sad bad charac ters that remota, ly resort to those spots al the clause of day. The above parks are the only places that are left with out the protection of any night pastel, and is world almost seem that they are considered as privileged mid exempt from the superiateodence of the Police. Depredations and outrages of the most abominable mature are constantly being committed with impunity, aad it is not without personal hazard that decent person can traverse the public paths that cross the Park. If the public traffic sad csavenience demsad that the Park gates should he kept *pea during the night, • regard for decency, as well as the milky and protection of the community, require that some immediate steps should be adopted by them who have the direction and management of the Police of the metropolis, foe the prevention of offences of so dangerous and criminal a tendesry. The appointment of a dozen of the patrol fur the regular duty of the Parks, and the prompt exercise of the powers conferred by the Police Act fur the apprehension and detention of thieves sad suspected characters, would be amply sufficient for the ahateaseat of as serious a Nuisance. AMATEUR SNAMIN. Southampton has now resumed its gaiety in the display of Gentlemen's yacht►, and the greatest enialattun seems to pervade the respective owners. Two very superior cutters, lately lanncked from the build. ing.yard of Mr. Granier, upwards of SO tons each, appear . to he of great promise ; one, belonging to Lord Willoughby de Broke, and the other (named the Sabtimi), to James Maxar, Esq. It is expected the latter vessel will distance all the yacht cutters except the Marquis of Anglesey's Pearl. There ■re no w in the River, belonging to this port, ready for sea, t h e following:—Union, Sir Arthur Paget; Elisabeth, John Fle ming, Esq. M.P.; Sabrina, Jansen Max.., ; Fairy, Wm.

Mackenzie; Wellington, General Striper, Esq.; Psyche, Charles Pratt, Esq.; Cygnet, Lord Eilcournie; Adelaide, C. Rymer, Esq.; and several others belonging to different ports. The revenue. according to the latest •nd most correct account. we have been enabled to obtain, falls considerably short in amount of the cone brooding period of hug year ; and it is from this cause that some large sales of stock were made yes terday, which tended, in a slight degree, to lower the prices. We chiefly attribute the deficiency to the non-payment, hitherto. of the tea duties by the East India Company; but es there remains s•ffi cient time for including them in the current quar ter, the balance may still exhibit • surplus.— (Sunday Paper.)

On Friday evening a female of loose character was apprehended in Windsor, under the direction of the Mayor, and was committed to the borough gaol for further examination. This you n g woman was singled out from the mass of unhappy females with which every large town is infested, rather from the secret infamy than the open indecency of her conduct. It is alleged against her that she has long been in the habit of representing herself to military gentlemen, and casual visitors, as belonging to some of the most respectable families cflsor and Elan ; and it is affirmed that ladies of the mind exemplary conduct have been injured by the vile falsehoods of a cunning and mercenary intripante. .
