The play of ne oa r: or, War, Lore, and Ihtlo—with Erie by Nirlsoke, were the attractions of the evening. use ..'pirates elicited the applause or the audience in shoot every serior, and whilst it continues so ably rupported by the present performers, in their dd . - relent characters, it will, without doubt, long coax tissue a favourite with the politic. Among the rank and fashion present we observed, the DANISH AMBASSADOR and Sittig, Lord ARTHUR BILL, Larey PARKER, &c. &C. ISO LIM OPERA. RICKPRSTA PPE'S excellent opera of Lionel sand Clirissa was performed on Saturday evening. This i• confessedly one of the finest operas which the Digh.li stage possesses. Uoilike those of more meld production, which have been, not inaptly, denominated mere vehicles for music, BlCKER snrrE's work charms the understanding by its approximation to legitimate comedy, and delights the e.r by the witchery of its varied and beautiful melodies. The characters, serious.and comic, are drawn with truth end spirit—the incidents are in teresting—the satire, conveyed in the part of Jessanty, against the Frenchified dandies of former days, is severe, without vulgarity— and the moral, by which parents are taught not to sacrifice the happiness of their children to schemes of ambitious aggrandisement, is unexceptionable. Mr. I'EARMAY inside his first appearance, on this occasion, as Lionel. lie sang very agreeably—but hi. acting was deficient in freedom, ease, and grace. The representative of Lionel ought to possess an imposing exterior, and a most insinuating address. To the introduction, under any circumstances, of sire song., in our etsuderd opera., we have flower fill ohjections. Where, however, such a liberty is takeu, the iudividual who exercises it ought to be careful that the matter he introduces is not at variance with the situation in which, at the moment, the character is placed. This point, although very essential, is seldom attended to—and songs ure frequently executed totally in contradiction to the sentiments which the character ought to express. A remarkable instance of this occurred on Saturday tvonting. The interview between Lionel rod Cla rissa, towards the couclusion of the piece, should be terminated by the beautiful song— " 0! dry those tears, like melted or". Past dropping on my heart they fall; riblok, Mild so more of we; no wore 77ts nersery of past mesa recall." This +sentiment is in perfect unison with the pre vious observations of Lionel—but, instead of sing. tag Iliac proper sir, Mr. PIAUI AN introduced a song, the burden of which was, VI Remember pr contrary to the impressive advice which, but a minute before, he had given to his sorrowing mis tress. Ml 4 CAREW assumed the character of ILA rigor. We were greatly pleased with her talents, as an actress and • vocalist. She pourtrayed the interesting 'eligibility of Clarissa—her delicacy of feeling—her devoted affer:tion, in an unaffectedly pathetic style. Taste sod science were deliciously blended in all her song—particularly in her execution of the cheruting air, " Why aria sighs my heart is swelling." Mr. W. S. Clicrviatatir playell the part of Colonel 0111 boy extremely well. His humour wits broad, but not offensive. He placed the eccentricities of the I l ionitutis old Camel in the most amusing light. I le was particularly successful in the scene where the Colonel discovers that lie is the dupe of his own cunt dinner. His passion was here strongly and na turally marked. Mr. Waxscn is the best Jes sunry we have recently seem Instead, however, of wearing his heir plain, he ought to 'have bud it very highly dressed, and profusely powder ed. Jessasey's first complaint, when he arrives at .sir John Flowerdales, is, that the walk has dwo ronsposed Isis hair—and he desires his servant to borrow some powder. This circamstence at once inliirs out the error into which Mr. WRENCH had tel Miss KELLY sustained the part of Jenny with infinite 3irchtwas and spirit. Her rencontre with the Colonel was very amusing. Miss L S TE .. YtiNSON'S Lhasa was remarkable for lightness and siiarity. She sang the air ridiculing the foppery of Jere:any, which was encored, with much humour. Mr. BARTLLY delivered the sentiments of Sir Juba Flowerdulc with impressive force. The part sat Jenkins was confided to Mr. 1. Ict•ca. He sang the the bass air. " To tell you Use truth," ad mu•.rbly well. There are several other airs attach- 0..1 to this character, and feeling how perfectly ade quate the powers of this gentleman are to do them castle justice, we regret extremely that they wets Mrs. Gaol% represented Lady Mary Wilboy very efficiently.

Dutch, and French ina.ters, closed ou Saturday bust, at the British Institution. . The sttelroits in art rill still have an opportunity, rain the preceding exhibitions at this Gallery, of studying. /toil cupying at their leisure, the greater pert of the valuable works it couldn't. %V have on successive occistons entered so m uc h i n to the details of these pictures, that no thing now remsiiis f..r us bqt to bike a retroepectiee glance at their general character. ‘Vhen the etu. dents shall have fiuislied their sketches, we anti cipate the pleasure of seeing tune excellent studies from the two Cdriaties. We hope the intelligens pupils of Mr. Haynes, end those who tread in their steps, will not be idle observers of these cele brated works of RAPHAEL, which have been jusily described as a the glory of England in art, and the envy of all other polite nations." in the works of RUBEN% in this collection, the student will be struck with some fine examples of the artiasivig fertility of invention, the lively, glow tug, and natural colouring, and the bold and astonishing freedom of execution, of this siccom !dished artist. The celebrated picture if " The Market People" in this Gallery, is a beautiful pro• duction, and strikingly illustrates the peculiar powers of this extraurilinery than, es they are criti cally described by Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS. "Here, (says the critic) the brightest colours are admitted, with the two extremes of warm and cold ; and those are reconciled by being iliopersed over the picture, till the whole appears like • bunch of flowers." Mr. FUSEL, hill, however, dissented from this description of the style of RUBENI, and observed, that his ingredients were not always con. nected with " a prismatic rye ;" adding, that " the b dance of the. Iris is not arbitrary, the balance of his colour Oleo is." 11'e leave to artists to deter mine upon the respective merits of these two opinions, but a common observer cannot see the picture to which we have already alluded with out being forcibly struck with the propriety of Mr. Fustmt's remark, that the females of RU RENS are often " hillocks of rosy flesh swept along in a gulf of colours." %Ire particularly recom mend to the student', close attention the masterly pictures by this Artist of " The Lioness," and " The Assnmption of the Virgin." The former is one of the must natural portraits of savage life we ever witnessed, and the latter is the most exquisite representation that can be well conceived of angelic beauty. The wreath of little angels is beautiful iu the extreme. The artists who pursue the study of landscape printing will find a fund of information in the works of CLAUDE, PAUL POTTER, host!**, BOTH, and other painters, who made this branch of art their peculiar study. These works abound in the best exnuiples of clear and admirable colour. ing, flue form, striking chiaro-acuro, and correct and harenouious prospective. The chaste and exquisite beauties of GUIDO are also conspicuous in this collection. H The Assuutp. tion of the Pirgia," from the Cathedral at Geouds, is a beautiful work, and attracted the rapacious eye of the French General SEBASTIAN!, when he commanded in that city. Of coarse it was pre sensed to him by the Local Authorities, with some thing like the siucerity of Wooer's resignation of his palace at York-place to HaaRY, when he found the tyrant bent upon its coutiscation. The head of the principal figure in this picture has o noble and graceful air—the folds of the drapery are disposed in a flowing manner, and with much freedom ■nd elegance. The colouring has a little of that greyish tone, which is sometimes observable iii this artist ; but its general character is clear and pure, with roundness and great delicacy of touch. Next to this picture in the Gallery is another on the same subject, by the Spanish artist Muni LLO. The touch is firmer, and the colour bolder than in (Junto's; hut it Ike. less of transparency, or of tender and pathetic devotion in the expression of the principal figure. The wreath of angels is beautiful—it Istis the same finely formed curve that we have so much admired in Ituscas's pic ture, and much of the poetical expression of the small figures, bat without the saute vigour and life. REMBRANDT)! works have been so °lieu stu ed, that it is almost needless to I point out their peculiar characteristics; a wonderful effect is very frequently produced by this artist's arrange ment or extraordinary masses or shadow : these, in come alas works, produce amazing roundness, and almost the full firm of the natural figure. Sir JOSHUA REY ,OLDS observes, that while RUBEN! admitted rather inure light thin a quarter into Inc pictures, RESIBRANDT scarcely admitted an eighth. fly this conduct, though MINIMA N DT'S light was extremely brilliant, yet our artist thought it cost too much, and that the rest of the picture was sacrificed to tl.is nut object. Our young portrait printers should be cautious how they lidlow the great example of REMBRANDT. A copyist has ge uertilly the fault without the strength of the original. A Dutch artist, NicttoLas ALri•s, was a very dire. tiergisielied pupil of REMBRANDT, and had hardly quitted the school oheii he, was obliged to depart from the manner of his great !water ; fur, as his biographer relates, be found the Wits of his time too delicate to approve of the dal k st) le of REM BRANDT'S colouring. in their rottrumi, although It huh sbuirdance i.f force.

SOUTHAMPTON, Avon: 8. On Friday evening, the 24th ult. the Right Re►. the Lord Bishop of SALIM/VP landed at Jersey, under a salute from Elizabeth Castle. The next day lie received congratulatory•visits from the Dean and Clergy, the Lieutenant-Bailiff, the Lieutenant- Governor and Staff, and the States of the Island. On Sunday the Bishop and suite went to Sr. flelier's Charch. where they heard an impressive NIA eloquent discourse by the Reve►end Doctor DUPRE, the Dean ; and in the afternoon his Lordship's Chaplain preached to the soldiers and English residents. The Bishop confirmed on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday fo!- lowing, in the four parish churches of St. Hillier's, St. Saviour's, St. Lawrence, and St. Peter's, and about 4,000 persons underwent that ceremony. During his stay, the Bishop dined with the Gover nor, the Dean, the Lieutenant-Bailiff,- and some of the principal inhabitants; and on Monday the 27th, immediately after the confirmation at St. Hilier'a, his Lordship gave a sumptuous dinner to the Dean and Clergy, and the Constituted Au thorities of the Island. He admired very much the natural beauties ■nd picturesque and enchanting scenery of the Island, together with the cleanliness and deportment of the inhabitants. This is the first Christian Bishop that ever visited these Islands since they have been under the Diocese of Win chester ; and it is to be hoped that other Bishops will hereafter follow so laudable an example. His Lordship left Jersey on Saturday the Ist insta , it for Sark, where he intended to hold a confirma• firm, as well as at Alderney, and be re-landed at Weymouth, by the Tiber frigate, Capt. DACREt. A Gentleman w ho left St. John's, Newfoundland, the sth July, states that this valuable Colony is making • rapid prayer's to prosperity. The Cod Fishery he represents as most abundant, end. the Seal Fishery has already produced perhaps beyond all precedent. Phenix-like, St. John's is rising with new and improsed splendour from the ashes of three conflagrations. The increased breadth of the streets, the solidity of the new building mate rials, and other improvements of a cautionary nature will make. fires much less frequent and intirittely less destructive. By the commencement of next fall, not a house will be missed from St. John's. There is, of course, great demand for building tradesmen ; most of those who had passed over from Europe in expectation of employment, had, in despair of such promising times, departed for America. Harvest will be general in this part of Scotland by the begiimiug 01 September. The crop will not only be extremely productive in respect of grain, but the quantity and quality of straw will more than make up for the deficiency of hay. In esery respect the crop will be unusually fine; and there is no doubt that the prices of grain will fall consi derably. Potatoes are both luxuriant and early, and cannot fail to be cheap, unless the great demand for butcher'. meat should make them be used largely in feeding cattle.—(Glasgow Chronicle.) The Cq:ctte of Saturday night contains the ap pointment of DANIEL MACINTOSH, Esq. to be his Majesty's Consul for the State of New Hampshire, iii the district of Maine.

This sots the town that furnished her with money, dress, and an escort for her journey. The Bth of May of the same year she compelled the English to raise theater of Orleans ; in 1804 the inhAttants erected a statue to her by way of replacing that which they owed to the (gratitude of their fathers, overthrown by the Khania of the RevolutiOn, and every year, on the Nth of May, they cele brate at Orleans the fete of their illustrious tibrratrix. At Compeigae, Rosen, and Toni, monuments have celebrated the memory of this extraordinary girl. A sobseription aat present opened by some' French ladies, who wish to raise a statue to her. LOVE AND ROBBERY. On Saturday a young man, named John Mills, tame to London by one of the Gravesend packets, and on the voy age bets'se greatly enamoured of a young worries of de cent ■nd modest appearance, who was also a passenger. Upon their arrival in town, Mills became particularly press ing with his fair fellow-voyager to go into • public-house and take some refreshment; she complied, and they went into a house near Lambeth Marsh 'torapike, where, being wearied with the passage, Mills fell asleep, and was din agreeably surprised, when ►e awoke about an hour after: wards, to discover that the object of his adoration had de• camped during his nap, and taken with her 111. in. &auk notes, and a silver watch.
