'The father of the Princes' is, however, averse to the connection. the Count bring greatly inferior in rank. Seeing his daughter likely to become the victim of her passion for the Count, with wimee as. traordinary principles he is acquainted, he agrees to permit a report of the Princeses death to be circula ted, pledging his we rdthat, should her lover, pursuing thedictates of his philosophy, prefer the memory of his supposed deceased mistress to the living charms which surround him, he would finally agree to their union. Learearise, an Italian Lady, who is enamoured of the Count Munro, miens herself to the utmost to win his affeetion-...bat in vain, his love for the deceased Abrades is uncooquereble.

For thts purpose. the parties meet at night in the ruins of Portici ; where the magic smile ofilesof are made us- of to conjure up the shade of Alteiaire ; and a variety of very beant,- fill transformations are produced. The affec tion of Abair°. however, remains unchange able; and, when, on the brink of despair (the disappointed Lortrenrine having informed the In quisition of their proceedings), he is honoured with the band of the Princes.. a. the reward of his constancy. These are the principal events of the piece, and afford materials fur a meet splendid display of scenery. dressea, and decor.- tions. Many of the situations are admirably cal culated for stage effect, at once delighting end as tonishing the audience. The dialogue a chaste and correct. The senuments are the offspriug of a refined morality; but they were occasionally prolix. and assumed an sir of declamation, which became tedious. This defect can, however, he very easily ru•ciified, without at all impairing the general interest of the piece. —The Music, by Mr. Hnax. exhibits powers of a very supe rior description. The Overture is a bold and masterly composition. It is impos-ible to give an adequate idea of the exquisite beauty of the scenery : the caverns of Portici, the see, and light-hou-e, with the castle cud the rock, and the concluding scene, are piciure,guse a 4 1 Mr. HAY Wan 0 sustained the charlotter a mewl; the mock sorcerer. in • most digintied counter Mr. Hottano. es Costal 44glift w"*" portrait of the visionary lover.-.4ll:stirilio, his serf seat, the only comic character in the 'piece, wail rendered extremely eatertaieing in the hands of Mr. Mntant.—Mrs. Cowls. es 'thinks, looked beautiful, and exhibited her attitmlitiariato graven with the happiest elect.

PAILTICULAR PROVIDENCE.—One night in last December, a child of two years and two months the son of DAVID Pact. of near T---, County Westmeath, was put to bed a■ usual ; bat in a few minutes after he got up, and refusal to go again to bed, so that his mother was at last constrained to correct him, after which he was put to bed as before but in a very Few minute, be rose again, and obstinately refus-il to stay in bed. Lie received a correction similar to the tor suer, and once more was put to bed, after which the psrenis retired to rest in another room. to the morning, a girl who slept with the chilli informed the palmate, that after being in bed for some time, be became untasy, and got out of bed, she also arose, and went with him to another room, where they slept quietly until morning, at which time the father discovered, that the roamer the room where the child initially slept, had fallen in during the night. so that if he and the girl had been in their Dom bed, they must have been killed.—( Freesias's Jowled.) At Norwich Cattle Market on Saturday last, there was hut little fat beef. which was sold at 95. d I. per stone, but that of a very prime quality is worth ids. to the grazier.—There was a good supply of tat mutton, which was bought at uJ. per lb.—The pros of store sheep were tolerably well tilled, but the purchases were very few.

ROBBERY OF ST. PJUL'S CA? lEDRAL. It is the opinion of the Pubce Officere, that the rubbery of the above Cathedral is what is called. in the .1414 lanuage. a pet•op robbery; or that the quantity and value of the plate, the place where it was klit, and the way to get at it, were eU pre vinusly well known, and the crime coasmitted by persons perfectly acquainted with the place. The weight bas been erroneously stated at 7uu ounces, whereas it was 176 U ounces. It had very lately been new double gilt, which gave it the appear ance of gold. The robbers most hive passel nine doors Of raft before they cuold get ut the property. The master-key was kept in a closet where coie of the Vergers iiNisslly placed his silver staff; but that was not stolen, although it is supposed the key was wsed to effect the robbery. It is thought by some the locks might have easily been picked with ske leton keys. An attempt to steal the plate from the above Ca thedral wee made twenty-seven years stove. The robbers then got as fa► as a closet whets the keys were kept ; hut whether they were prevented trolls proceeding by being alarmed, or by their light go ing out. it was never ascertained.

Ovid his given a very fine description of the earlier ages of the world. visd has told us a beauti ful story about things which. in our times, st is scarcely possible to conceive to II- any better than pore fictions of the poet's beam. We are inform ed, for instance, th it there was an Age called " rim Gulden," from some precious metal which, ow w'- count of its supre•ricelleuce. was applied alleyori rally to designate tha most halm', nil 'rect. abun dant, mid delightful era. that ever Heisted on the emir. What this metal could beer been it to not iii the power of a modern writer to inissume. Bat from our absolute ignorance of the ineeriin g of the term " Golden," it may fairly be presumed that it is altogether a fabulous exprrs.:o:i, and refers to something as unreal as the unicorn, the pliesnix. the sphysix, or the flying dragon. For wise tin suppose that if such a metal as this called Gold had existed at any period, it would bare been un knoWn to the chyssists of the loth century, who hive explored the very arcane of native. and made suetsnorahle discoveries respecting zinc, lii.routh. and a handfed other mongrel metals, which the ancients had uo more couception of fleas we have of Cold. It is therefore clear, that this pert of Naso's story is ell wry rye ; dud we need not won der that all the experiments of all the alcbytnists of the last four centuries, founded on so ndiculeas a poetical inv. ntion, should have lamentably hided ie discovering that which was a Doa-entity-.their ewrriw palpabik ! This iiscredible opinioa, that there really was such a metal as gold, was &ether strengthened by the cunning of the Pual, who compares the suc ceeding age to silver, • metal which we hams. by some few proofs still remaining, is to be timid in the bowels of the earth. And, again. by likeni ng the third age he treats upon to ked, a metal which all the plumbers in England can veri'y upon oath is to be had someway or otlier.-whether the truth lies in a well or not. a immaterial to oar argunt , t • The elixir of life, the longitude, the perpetual motion. and the way to square a circle, Wrest! equally had their followers. advocates. andtedsar. era ; hut the wiser part of mankind have inveriahly laughed at all such pursuite,.whetker of these who hunted after intmeetality. in a mortal world e .pr r. taint, where nothing is certain; perpetuity. ohms every thin/decay., an exception t o a p hy s i ca l certainty ; or, what was of the same description, its the philosopher's stone, or gold." as a substence which we have every reason to believe is oafish% more than an immaterial phantasy.
