Is sent as a ph boner to be kept in the castle of the Governor, named abuse. He there encounters Amelia, who has bye previous interview, though unknown, crop- Wilted him. M. bondage is, of course. very plea. lent ; but Frederic pusses that way. .and discovers the iappy state of his prisoner's captivity. The Baron is condemned to forego his privilege near the Kiag in the action shoot to elope; he makes his escape from the close confinement to which he is doomed, and has the good fortune to stay the flying forces of Frederic, sally them buck to the forlorn battle, and secure the victory, himself bring unknown. He • finally escapes throulth the intercession of his mistier's, his fliend Brandt, end, above all, *hen duly explained. but own gal• lint services in the affair, the sentence of ignomi nimsdeeth which had Wien oil him for breaking prison. There is plenty of plot and material in I these sketches for an opera; nor can any res. eonable fault be found either with the selection or "tonduct of them. The incidents are highly di. terrified within the compass of the plot, and give opportunities for the display of the musi. con of the most favourable kiwi. The composer is GIOVANNI Pact!' I. who is at present new to our stage. Hr will not continue so alter last night. There are weaknesses end Homeric eleeptiesses in some of the composition,; but wherever the run of the incidents end the play of the passions will allow edit, the genius of the composer is found actively 4' alive to each fine impulse." He has in softie cases trenched close within Mower, as though he would question hie particular right of possession in Parnassus bat it is done with great circum spectneva, and in such a way es to establish an original claim to the weird of genius. The first act, as in most operas, is by far the most effec. tire, taken together. The second would per. hips afford the meet gratifying selections. To pass over • great variety of fine passages, in the first there is a mean by the chief gruupe (the sub ject being the delectiou of the hero's pleasure in otttitiemetit by Frederic, mid his judgment pro. Dammed thereupon), preceding she first flank, which is full of seentific contrivance, and shows off the multifarious working of several passions in severel individuals, with a complexity sod plain. nets quite overwhelming to the senses ;. it was rap turously encored. Thy same honour was done td /*seem preceding the lastifeek, mood with still mere esartasb, just before the fastffeale. The subject is, the tote/cession made by the parties before Minded to fur the pardon of the hers. This Apposition is exquisitely wrought op; and saes it is relieved by the joyous announcentesit of remitting the sentence, has a corresponding edict on the mind of the auditor to that which may be supposed to be produced in the pri. soma on the change of his fate—so perfectly had the musician figured forth the causes which in that regard influence the feelings. It would be in vain to select all the passages of beauty mid inte rest in the music. It will suffiee for the present to say, that in developing the sway which the lyric drama Ins over the mind, PACINI has coneideva. bly eularged the apporent boundaries, and is to be quoted, MOZART always excepted, as one of the chief composers which the last Ina century has produced. The pert of Frederic introduced a Signor CARTONt to this stage. He has neither figure nor face; 'but he his r tolerable good bass voice, which, contrasting his singing with AN- Gomm's, pries in softer modulations what it loses in the exercise of the plero cote. He was well' received, and sustained his part cre ditably throughout—though the part itself has less of the ingredients of operatic character in it, thew any which can be named. AaCDIOOETTI crowded new laurels into his wreath. lie made a perfect and whiuniteal on of the Mg devoted soldier and friend Brandi. His solicitation of the King in the fort instance for the pardon of Carlo, an a scene of very rich humour, and provoked comiderable laughter. But it was nothing to the overlowiog and honest glee in which he recites the battle deeds of his favourite hero, and an checks the . purpose of alit King in condemning him to death for disobedience of orders. Of a like pleasantry was his sly shaking of hands with the prisoner before the remittance of his sentence, whereby he sought . to convey to him an intimation that he was is no danger, uutwithstanditig he was match ing to execution, the King bring present. Of Madame Ceti/mans it is superflunes to spy, that. she sang with spirit, fine taste, and great execution. All this she does commonly ; but, perhaps from the novelty of the moo, she secured greater advances than ever upon the favour of the sodium', '• and had her claims allowed." Her first •sone, ut which she apestrophiees the image of her Wet, wisher limey presents him to her, there was till the exalted glow of imagination - which devotion to the Move cin best inspire with that Linguishiug: of affectionate delight which seems to gratify the heart most when most oppressed by it.

OLD BAILEY, TUUDAY, JANCIAUT !2. CONSPIRACY AND PLUNDER UPON THE HIGH SEAS. This morning five Prisoners, John Stehbinr, she, John Neu/ Niebhings, Ni/hats Reacher. otherwise James "hitcher, Thontat hello, John Penny, sod William Hatcher, jug. were put to the bar, to answer to an ondicimeot for conspir ing to plunder and destroy • vessel, and for pro ceeding, by sundry acts, to the plunder 110 de streoction of the said vessel, off the coast of Suffolk. The Priout-rs pleaded Aol Gsilty. Mr. ED. Looms opened the pleadings. • Sir C. ItorstrisoN, the Mug's Advocate, stated the case substantially, as it afterwards came out more particularly in evidence. There were a sari ety of taunts iu the indictmentr-some chewing the previous conspiracy, others the acts which were per petrated, in order to meet .ell the points of the de fence. The case had arisen from the accidents which took place on the seas in the late temper% The brig Westrnorelana having been at sea from December 3, and baffled by bad weather, appeared off Lowestoff on the 7th December, at three o'clock p.m. She was rodeavouring, in .• great stress of weather, to make Stem port Potut,but struck • her rudder, and was broached•to, being drawn in towards the send by both wind and sea. She struck upon Newcombe Studs. The anchor was let go. It was found that she was likely to beat herself to weer.. The cable was then cut, and she was driven further in on the sand; the danger being considerably. in creased, she made signal of distress. Two boats came off, one called the Seaman's Assistance, an. other a smaller life-boat—both kept there for the retcue of ships and passengers in distress. The Pd.. scowl's were part of the crew of the first-mentioned boat or yea!, which came up first, though act above three imitators before the life-boat ; so that it was the same act of rescue or salvage with both boats. Two of the prisoners, Stebhings and•the younger Butcher, were already on board when the life-boa; came up. Their first act ou board was the taking down the signal of distress by Stebhiniray The life boat, just then come up, became an object of jealousy with the people in the yawl, who he. goo to use abusive language. and called on the people on board to cut away the line of the life ' boat, regarding.the property of the wreck as their perilousl possession, and cooing. What are those fellows doing with that thong ?--cut her away— let her go hoine—(mranitie the life-host)—we are enough to manage the ship." The hoot was ac cordingly cot adrift, nod went to leeward at a great rate. It would be seen by the evidence float they could have done. this from no other mo. live than that of personal gain and advantsge.—, They might suppose that they had • right to do so. Upon which point he would endeavour to state what was the inteution of the law, nitcl to shew that it was as different from the interpre tation given it on the Coast of Suffolk as light Red darkness. The law held out every encou ragement to skill stud enterprise not for the salvage of ships, and those iu danger of ship wreck ; it viewed all their wets so employed ,will, an eye of peculiar favour and approbation : but it only did so as far as those acts tended to the •tiFtti saving and preserving of distressed property, and the lives of persons on &tiger from tempests ,aud shipwreck on the seas. There were disputed cases in which it interfered, to determine who wire the chief and secondary salvors, and in what • degrees stood their titles to recumpener; but it never intended the ossignmtut of a ship, either in distress or actually wrecked, to the first party coming off for the purpose of ipaving it. Whether the Prisoners knew that the:stet they were perpetrating were legal or illegal, mattered walling as to the charge of the indictment, though it might become a point for cousideration in ulterior cause queoces. The effect of it could be only mischievous in regard to the ship and her crew. The wind was south et the time, and the life-boat drifted towards the north, from which it became imowasible to afford any usaistauce to the dispensed ship. The ship got off at last and made towards the shore, un der a heir, peesii,of sail, but agaiu struck, and was rapidly-Cookout.
