Are'enetle, the Fairy of the Lake, hecortis the protedress of him and his family, and when he and his son go to tl.e woods to follow their business, Mtelrana, his brother's slave, on finding his wife refused food by her mistress, conveys a basket of provisions to her and her chiltiten. This slave is the HerMne of the piece. The wood is infested by a band of thievei, who are proteaed by Orrateend. the Genius of the Forest, and his Demons. Alt Baba, finding them ci.ming, conceals himself, and finds out the rock ia which they hide their homy, and having pro nounced the charm, Open Sesame, the rock splits, he enters the cavern, loads his ass with treasure, aed conveys it to his cottage. His brother, surprized at his sudden wealth, finds out the secret, and repairs to t'te wood, where he is discovered by the thieves. and murdered. They miss their booty, and sus pea Ali 11.11,a, of whom they are determined to be revenged. The Captain, as a merchant, sells him forty casks of oil, which are delivered to him ; when Morgiana, going to tap a calk, a voice within asks it is all ready ?" She answers, Not yet ;" and finds that in the Forty Ces4s are the Fort u 7 hirers. She recolleCts a charm bestowed by the Fairy, which applied to them, caused instant death. The Captain thus baffled, arms himself with a poiniard to destroy Ali Bala, when the slave again interferes, and stabs him ; she is then married to Ali Robe, son. There is an underplot of a Prin cess, who eat been seized by the nieces, and de tained a prisoner, with a rich catavan. a Such it the substance of the story, but this is a matter of ve-y inferior cdnsideration. The obj.li of the Amber is to produce a spleedid Sprelacle, and he has accordingly looked to the Scenery, Ma chinery, and Decorations. In these he has been most liberally encouraged and supported by the Ma nagers. The eye is Mind dazzled by the splendour, anu the fancy charmed by the variety of the Scene. The dresses, bee. are said to have cost 5,0001. The opening scenes of the Fairy's grotto, her car, drawn by swans, the wood-otter at work at a distance, the dance of Sylphs, Gnomes, &cc. is a scenic exhi bition of unrivalled beauty. Mrs. 11. SIDDOKS, as the ;airy of the Lake looked very well; her dress was magnificent. The view of the city of Bagdat, the hanquet.ng room, and the concluding scene, with Turkish pavilions, and gondolas tailing ahout, filled with company, had a most beautiful effects also the nines, mout.ted on bosses, riding at a distance through the woods. Miss DE CAMP'S pai t was one of those singing And dancing charaCters in which she so much excels, and is so necessary to each a speetacle; her dress was most beautiful and hecoming. The music did not boast much novelty, but the selcCtion did great c,r,ir to Mr. KELLY'S taste. The dialogue was sometimes tedious, and wools( be n u 'ls improved by curtaiiment. We ne ver saw a p:cce better received. It was announced for second representation amidst the loudest accla mations, and will, tilt tionist, most amply repay the liberality of the Managers. So pert ea a first night's represenutinn, of such complicated scenery and itachinst7, we never witnessed. Iredamlay. the LORD ADVOC•IE of SenTLAND are 02t horn E.l.inturgli, on his way to London.

F.XECUTIO OF RICHARD PATCH, lielterday trotting this wretched Iran suffered the se ntence of the law for the m"" , '-r of Mr. Bi;ght. The public curiosity tr. goings the capital punishment if a criminal, has nct ficen so !•rtrongly excited for many Tear:. Three who have w ittless d the execution of Doeor I),td.', of Ryland, the engraver, and of Colonel Despard and his a,sociate , , declare, that none 1.1 these shocking rpatacles produced so great and general a sensation, or attraCted so great a crcwd. The mystery in which the murder was at first concealed ; the providential means which aided the aClivity 01 the Pace, to trace the murderer ; his conviCtion upon circumstantial evidence, so mi. mite and complicated ; the fineness of the day, and its being holiday time, all contributed, with the rig pravated heinousness of his crime, to produce these t ff-tels. The apparatus for the execution was fixed up is the Iroot of thegael, it: I lorsemonger-lane,onMon da y, and vast crowds assembled during the whole of the day to view it. The number el apphcations for admission within the walls, to witness this awful ce remony, was also great beyond example. Some of cur contemporaries stated yesterday, that Mr. Faith had made alull confession of hisguilt; hut theirraate merit was erroneous,and without the least foundation. Six of his friends and relatives were permitted to vi.,it him in his cell yesterday. They consisted of his brother and nicer, his brother-in-law and sister in-law, very respettable-looking people, and their two daughters. The interview with his brother he hare firmly, but in that with his sister-in-law, who was the si,ter of his late wife, he was much af fated ; he esohi aced her tenderly and wept hdterly; he embraced t tern all at parting, and whispered them frequent y. Mr. Ives, the keeper of the pri son, and his deputy, Mr. Cave, were present at these rad scenes ; but as they did not wish to ob nude upon the last moments of an unfortunate man, farther than their duty absolutely required, they, of course, could not overhear the conversation. From all the circumstances of the case, a confession of his guilt would have given gr ea t satisfattion to the public mind; ald,acc - irdingry, the attempt to obtain one has been zealotely pursued ever :ince his convic tion. The Rev. Mr. Mann, the Ream. of Bet mondsey, and Chaplain to the Prison, together with three Dis senting 'Ministers, attended him in his cell. In their interviews with him, he evinced the strongest proofs of a penitent sinner ; but invariably declined to give any answer to the urgent entreaties of the clergymen, to ackialwle2gc the crime for which he was to die. The only answer that could be drawn from him to these entreaties was, " I have ac k now. ledged my sins before God, and I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ fur the salvation of my soul ; but as to the crime with which I am charged, I do not feel any inclination to gratify the curiosity cf men." 1 he Rev. Mr. Mann frequently urged, as an ex ample for his imitation, the condud of Htrring, found guilty of coining, and sentencedovith his wife, to sufLr at the same time; who, he said, had con fessed his guilt, and acknowledged the justice of his sentence; but all his exhortations were to no purpose. At one time, on Monday, he manifested considerable alarm, in his communicatiens with Mr. Mann; and when that gentleman informed him, that his friends were waiting to take their last farewell of him, he exclaimed, " Is it really to be so Is no mercy to be exprele.l for an innocent man ?" Mr. Mann re m tined with him until a late hour Monday night. The three dissenting Ministers remained with him the whole night ; daring the whole of which, he appear ed extremely penitent and devout. In the course of the night, be took a few glasses of wine, and about two lock, having become much exhausted, he laid down upon his bed. The dissenting Ministers re mained by his side until four o'clock, when he arose and drank two cups of tea, with which he myeared somewhat refle,httd. The Dissenting !Mi -1 inters were Methodists. Mr. Patch was also a Methodist. About half past six o'clock yesterday morning, the Rev. Mr. Mann, and the Curate of the Rev. Row land Hill, came to the prison, and .fter a short in , to-view with Mr. Patch, they, and Herring and his , wife, who were to be executed for coining, were condtufled to the chapel. Mr. Patch and I - kering went with the Rev. Mr. Mann to the altar, and began their devotions ; the wo nan, being a Roman Catholic, went to the left side of the Chapel, with a priest. the Rev. Mr. Griffiths. At eight o'clock, Mr. Patch and Herring received the Sacra ment. At thirteen minutes past eight, Herrir.g came out of the chapel into the prison, where Per k Kett h, of Newgitte, was in waiting to knock off his irons. On his return to the chapel, Mr. Patch came oet, at seventeen minutes past eight, for the same purpose. He was dressed in a good suit of mourning. and appeared in excellent health.— Ills complexion was as florid as usual, and lie stood firm, and with very great composure, while the hangman was tying his arms ; his irons were not unusually heavy. After this process, he returned w dr a firm step to the Chapel, and resumed his de votions. At five minutes before nine o'clock, the High Sheriff, the Under Sheriff, their officers and attendants, with their wands, came to the door of the Chapel, and demanded the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers; and immediately after, they began to move, in their usual order, followed by Mr. hes, the keeper of the prison. First. came Herring and his wife, and next Mr. Patch, with jock titieb on his right, carrying in his right hand a cutlass. When they got to the opnn yard, Herring and his wife were placed in a hurdle, and drawn to the entrance to the staircase, leading to the apparatus for the execution. Herring and his wife ascended the stairs with as much firmness as could be expeded. Mr. Patch displayed Lis usual intrepidity. The speaators who had been admitted within the prison, were allowed to ae . : company the sufferers to the platform, on the top of the building, and there witness the awful scene. close to the separates. While Jeri Ketch was in the aa of fastening the ropes, the Rev. Mr. Mains attended Mr. Parch, and, for the last time, atteirspted to draw from him a confession, but with no better success. The Serif then went to him, and intreated him to confess, but he stead ly 'dined. At this time the cap was drawn down upon his face, aad every tiling was pi, rated to laurch Lim into eternity. Apparently J:spleased at being p•es-ed sn much the 06- jea, he threw himself considerably back• with I:7:pa tience, From the violent motion of his body, some of the spedatiors supposed that he meant to break his aeck, as Jerrl/ Ahershow did im Kennington com mon. Others appr, lieotht! tl.a- I,e was faioting away Neither of these, Nina:via, appeared to 1•e the case. and it was evidently the result of a wish ro avoid all farther intreaty. Mr. Ives observing Mr. Parch throw himself hack, ran to him, and exclaimed, •• My good friend, what are you about ?" Mr. Patch took him I.y the hand, arid cot rusted with im for about a niiiiitre and a half; and, whsat he was leav ing him, he parted Irs hand apparently with much relodance. A great anxiety w is. at this moment , expiessed by the bye-sta„Jer•, t r know whether Mr. Patch had confessed his guilt to Mr. I.es. in conversation. Mr. Ives answered, with great po liteness, to all enquirers, that he could not a: pre sent divulge what Mr. Patch had communicated to him, and he very honourably persevere.; in this de w urination, notwithtanding the pressing solicitation of one of the Magistrates. Ile said, however, •• I be lieve him to be the mat," meaning the man who murdered Mr. Blight. The sufferers stood in the following order: fint, ' Mr. Patch ; next to him, on his tight, the woman ; and next to her, her husband, Herring. At five tali : . nutes past nine o'clock, the sentence of the law was carried into execution, by the falling of the drop, which took place in a very segulir manner.— Mr. Patch's body was convulsed from head to foot, but not violently, and he appeared quite dead in about four minutes. Herring suffered great agony; jock Ketch pUlled his legs to ter minate his misery, and lie died in about the way' time ; his wife died instantly after the falling of the drop. Herting was about GO years of age, the wite, about 44—a lusty, heavy, woman. Alter the bodies had hung an hour, they wese taken down, and the body of Mr. Patch was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital for dissedion, pursuant to his sentence. The bodies of the other two sufferers were delivered to their friends. The concourse of people present was incalculable. All the public avenues from the Haymarket, at Stones Itaid, Newington Turn pike, and the bleaching-grounds near the Kent Road, were filled with spectators. They had begun to assemble soon after fist* o'clock, and took possession of every place, public or private, that afforded any chance of a view of the gaol. Among the spedators admitted inside the prison, amounting to about seventy persons, were—Sir J. C.•x Hip. pesley, Mr. A. Goldsmii, the Honourable C. Co ventry. and • I other gentlemen. Nothing had transpired at a late hour last right, respeding the nature of the communication made upon the platform to Mr. Ives by Mr. Patch, im mediately previous to his execution. Mr. lees de clares, that he neither can nor will divulge it, until he has the permission of a higher power. lie does not, however, hes4ate to acknowledge his belief, that Patch was the man who fired the fatal shot. His for mer occupation was that of a btocher, in Devonshire. 64/ t ri a - - 0,. 43 1 i\ SHOCKING ACCIDENT. Between the hours of one and two o'clock yro:er. day morning, the neighbourhood of St. George's, Wapping, was alarmed by a dreadful cra..h, like the rolling of thunder, when it was immediately disco. ?erect that a stack of chimnies, in the centre of two very old boas-s in Back-lane, near the extremity of llihemary-lone, had fallen in, carrying along with it the houses themselves, down to the round floor, and overwhelming the unhotunate inhabitants in one common ruin. Every assi.tance was instantly procured, but not less than fifteen persons, male and female, 'offered more or less. The proprietors were two elderly women, of the names of Balfour aril Mothers, who had let out those houses in va rious tenements to poor tradc:nrien, and to a great • number a women of the town, of the very lowest class ; so that between the inhabitants and visitors, it is supposed there were not less than 50 or 60 per sons within the walls at the time. One woman was dux out of the rubbish, guile dead ; another so much bruised, she has since died. A Lascar, who urns in the second floor with his female companion, leaped out of the window, and tra&ured both his legss; he, with two women, were carried on biers to the Lon don Hospital. A Gentleman, said to be a respeeable traces man, in the Minoties, made his es.:ape with many bruises, and only half his clothes. There were a number of Lascars, and other foreign sailors, in the home, many of whom, it is supposed, still lie covered in the ruins. Workmen were emploled the whole evening clearing away the rubbish.— At eight o'clock, when they left off work, they hai not stet with any other person=; but it is certain that several are buried in the ruins.— ' The houses at either side were slightly propped up last night. and though in the most frightful condi tion, many unfortunate persons were not deterred from lodging in them. In the early part of yes terday, the St. John's and St. George's Volunteers attended, and were of infinite service in preventing depredations and further accidents. The houses in that neighbourhood are in a dreadful irate of decay, and if great attention is not paid to the repair, by the proper officers, we may expeet to hear of many other, and perhaps more serious accidents, that part of London being so thickly inhabited. The idea of the 4..01.1111g ratio% •ttratfled yesterday a great number of Cockney Sportsmen, who rode out at an early hour, to join in the pleasures of the chace. A crowd of persons of all descriptions went to the Forest also in carriages or on foot, with a view of erjoying a laugh at the awkward exertions of the city sportsmen. When they reached the place of t:ieir destination, however, there was neither stag nor hound to be seen. This celebrated Hunt is, we understand, entirely given up. An aet'cle from the Hague. in The Letden 6e vae of rite 4tll inst. says—" nags of Truce have of la•e ii , :quently passed between Dover and Calais.

For many weeks pas•, a ga-g cf offenders, all one family, have been pritaisiag impr:si:iortt upon trades-penple, to a very considerahle amount. Tho father, mother, daughter, and sari, arc in coalition in the fraul• that have been raised The daugh ter, a genteel young woman, who occupies expen sive and elegant apartments, contrives to get goods of the tradesmen, aided by her father,who ails at her va; r t, the mother, who is housekeeper, and the brother, who aEls as footman. The Lady calls herstlf Mr..

The father, whose name is APErav, cr Mliae, was apprehended by Lo vett, on Monday evening. in §t. George's Fields, and now remains for anntSer examination. There are many trades-people, in the most opulent way, ready to prefer charges against them. NlS7r=mosig At the last Dorchester Assizes, Winton Trent was tried for stealing five bark -notes, of the value of ten pAinds each, oat of the dweliing-house of N'r. Jowl Wa t telt, of Lyme. It appeared that the prisoner was a master cabinet-maker at Lyine, and had been employed by the prosecutor to rena.r same furniture i t his house, and had taken the notes out of a small desk which stood in a chamue•. The whole of the notes %%eye traced to the prisonc-'s hands, and on his being charged with the felony, he gave up such of the property as he had not dispc,ed of. He was about thirty.tsv,) rears of age, and several respeCtable witnesses appeared to hi, ‘harac ter ; the Jury found him hot recommended him to mercy.
