Au important Bill was brought into the House of Lords last night by E irl Gam, sod read a first time. It has for its object to repeal the isth and 30th Acts of CHARLES IL, which require all pvl'- 110u8. previous to admittance into office to take and subscribe certain declarations against the doctrine of transubstantiation, and the invocation of saints. No objection, we trust, will be snide to a measure like this, which is nothiog more than ate of conci liation, which seeks to peeve:it a continuance of an unnecessaey insult to the nuderstimiling and feel ings of a loge class of our Mallow-subjects, without affecting, in the remotest degree, ttru provisions which are now conaidered by the opponents of the Catholics a the meters.ai securit;ts of the present PolificA 'sod oe.:le , ttAsiteal e4fAtitliolmetitg.

This de cision, though it regulates the priocipte of the mea sure, leaves the details open fur future discussion.— The interest which this great discussion excited may be estimated in some degree from the re markable fact, that of late years there never has been an instruct in which the gallery of the Rouse of Commons, and the avenues leading to it, were at au Early and r late hour so filled by persons connected with the Stock Exchange. They Were on the watch for the speeches of those favourite Mrmlwrs whose PYII t ttt elite they thought would have the - greatest itifluence uplis public opinion, and thrl regni.tted their bargains upon the sup posed impressino of those rreechti, on the spur of the occasion, os completely in the lobby as they eve► did in the course of the day on the Stock Exchange.

BRUONOT inquired whether any of the metandise so seized was private pro perty, in whi ch case, he affirmed, that it would be illegal to redeem it with the public money. The MINISTER or FINANIE replied, that at Bourdeaux, and in all the towns mitered by the English army, they had only seized what was ex clusively the property of the former Government.

But her arta are vain : protected by beneficent Genii, the too lovers are brought to gether; every obstacle gives way to their courage and perseverance; the veil of Ovoid and perplexity is re moved; the stratagems of the (au, oil of Night are defeated, and lime two lovers are justly rewarded by au limuurahle and happy union. The Nagle Pale is given to Tasltillo by his protecting Genii, in order that be may give a signal of alarm, when endangered by the wiles of his adversaries, and the divest produced by this agency are full oT interest. Pa pa gcne, the buffo of the opera, is a character intended to relit% e, by Ile gaiety, the more serious wean of the drama ; he also is put in possession of a musical instrument, the sound of which, by constantly turning anger into mirth, relieves him from many whimsical difficulties, and forms a striking costliest to the graver operations of the Zembeillide. This mixture of the lively and the serious; of love, mys. levy, and incantation, has afforded Mozart every scope for the exercise of his genius; and he Itas accordingly lavished upon it all that is most embussing in music. Thus has he immortalized an opera, the romantic and fairy construction of which, however well executed, might have afforded room fur some billing objections to it, as a regales . drama. It was near twelve o'clock before the curtain dropped, but the audience were delighted to the lint moment. l'he airs throughout imparted pleasure : several were heard with rapture.
