'wad wee given fur the filet tinily tine season on Swarthy night. The parts were sus:- twined With almost uniform excellence. from the, highest to the lowest. We do net °nett see such, perfect earretion is all the arrangeracuis of a de. , tooled enterbsiantrat. We begin with the chief at.. traction of the night. A Miss PATON appeared fek' the Bret time in Satemer. There never was kg s fa h ceded instance of sneers.. The lady is you las.W•ol bee all the ingenuousness of her tune of Ilk. • Shy wee greeted with the loudest applause, by which sisa was perturbed for • few minutes, but she speedily became reassured, and relieved the audience from all farther fear oil the nccount of inexperience. It is difficult rdequately lo describe her style end manner: there is a voluptuous and refined hilarity in them which keep, the mind of the suditory most pleasingly engaged. She is joyous and sensitive, and yet controls the expression of the feelings withiu the nicest limits of feminine grace. The situations are almost hazardous for the delicacy of the soft sex. and were PO intended by the witty author. But she gets through them, and comet off with the most engaging and brilliant purity. Her singing is still more remarkable. She is a perfect mistime of her own contrivances. She executes with the precision of one long accustomed to the encouragement and favour of public assemblies, though she is youngest of the daughters of Phcebas. Her voice is capable of any degree of power, her tones peculiarly sound loud brilliant, and she inak.s the progression of the intervals perfectly liquid. Her expression is delightfully varied, and has • graceful, sensible emphasis, applied like that in the eloquence of a cunning orator. This is one of the attributes which will make her COO. spicuons among the vocalists of the stage. She in spirits the expression with a general discernment of the subject, which seems to consider in every several passage both what is gone before and what there is to follow. We could scarcely name three English singeis who have the semblance of this ratiocinative faculty in their songs. Another die tiuction, which we trust she will uphold in her future efforts, is the perfection and brevity of her cadences. This augurs the return of common sense to the lyrical economy of the stage. We would particularly specify the song of "Bid me discourse," which she introduced,and which at once exalted her to the highest estimation with the audi ence. In the current of the music she lavished the most delicate and intricate graces, without staying the orchestra, or interrupting the composition for their admission; end, at the close, she subjoined a nest and Seely-executed cadence, quite in the spirit of the air. We could not but contrast this junction of good sense mid professional excellence with the heavy psalmody used by some of our emi nent singers in their melodies, who yet will make no scruple at the end of running an uncouth and incongruous descant of many minutes, to the woe derment of the galleries and the lobby heroes itiel true, but to the grief of all who have comma/ sense as well as ears, and to the utter discom fi ture! of the composition, if nut of the composer. We hope, therefore, that the public will yet have to ac knowledge their obligations to Miss PATON for re storing sense to vocal song, after a long and tedious banishment. She is certainly one of the most fluent, expert, expressive, and sensible nselo tints to be found on any stage. It would be tedious to recount the several occasions whereby she awakened the enraptured admiration of the house. The duets with Fiord,o end the Countess must, however, be mentioned. They both relate to the double assignation in the garden. She blended the expression of archness and senti ment in each with miraculous felicity. But all verbal description must fall greatly short of the ' effect • of hearing one strain of any of her songs. Before quitting a subject so entirely 'Tremble, we must remark on her admirable sustaining of the innocent plot between her and Figaro, to check the advances of the Comet. Her significant tone and gesticulation in checking his lordly profligacy, would have dune credit to the most practised actress. We would also anode particularly to her appearance from the closet, where Cherabirso had been concealed, and her assumed reception of the Count on his return from it, slier haviug l . given the Countess, in the momentary interval, tiler. hint of the Page's escape. This, by the by, is one: of the most ingenious oituations in all the contriv ances of play-wrights, and was never better managed: than on Satorday night. Mr. Jonas performed the Count, and Mr. Liston was Figaro. It would be superfluous to make any general comment on these matchless comedians. Mr. Jones, who has the. stage els and buoyancy beyond any actor since LEWIS, directs them with wonderful ti.licity in ibis' port. The jealousy of the husband is relieved by his faithless stratagems upon the women about Inns. The imperious authority of the master truckles with; the difficulty of enfranchising his character front the reproach of defeefed intrigue. The connecting. incidents are full of the finest stratagems, andl Mr. JONES manages all with admirable ease and, dexterity. LISTON'Y humour IS perfect. The af fected blankness and want of apprehension. as.' mimed to obtain time for • fuller and more credi ble justification—the garrulous amplification of the dialogue, to divert and delay the scrutinising rage and jealousy of the Count, are given by him, espe cially in the scene where he pretends to have leapt out of window, with strong and tine imagina tion. There are few besides himself who have so Historical an apprehension of the predica 'liras of a dramatic situation. Mrs. Carr- Teal.EY played the Page to udmiration. Sue hits al the critical wavering period between boyish pu rity and puberty with turprising skill and fidelity. Mrt. G•ERICK ploys(' the Countess respectably..— .111 r. Lsotil LEE played Fiore:11o. It is to be re gretted that to occomplislied a singer is not more importantly concerned itt the interesting music of this piece. The loudest applause (ruin all sides were poured upon the exertions elite lovely debu tante it the falling of the curtain, and the ow. isouncement of her next appearance added the noise of 'bowlers to the already loud acclamations iii her favour.

The two heroes of the tale ars imprisoned in a foams, and, ati . mated with heroic ardour, they resolve to escape f o ram their prison and rush to the field of battle. to meet the enemies of their country. A fortuitous circumstance gives them all opporiuuity or saving the life of Frederick, by which means they obtain their enlargement, and embrace the chains of love im exeharige fur those of a diingeon. The music of the piece, which it rather of the difficult than **pie character. reflects considerable credit on the composer, Mr. Cones. and it certainly lost nothing either in beauty or sweetness in the hands of Messrs. BituaDituase and PRAIIMAIL Matilda is • character admirably suited to the talents of Mies KeLLY, and in addition to the charms of her acting, which gave such general delight, she sung • few songs which were allotted to her with extreme let4i . sod softness. There was little for (hits. W‘MPPIIIIT to do in the performance of Charlotte, sod it ii the more to be regretted, as ehe performed that , littic sir pleasingly. At the fall of the curtain Mr. BARTLEY came forward, and addressed the audience to this effect " Ladies sad Geatiemee--On Monday evening there will be so performance at this theatre, the Proprietor heiviag re solved to time the beam to enable all the members of this establishment to lead their gratuitous assistance st Caveat garden, fur the heaelt of the widow mad child:ea of the late Jobe Emery.

The Lewes races commenced to-day, and the attendant company from this place was tolerably numerous, but the anticipated sports terminated in disappointment. The only races announced were for the King's Plate, and a second, called the Hun dred Guineas Stakes. For the first, the Earl of Egremom's Centaur walked over the coarse. Lord Egremotit's Whaleboat was the f ite for the stakes. Lord G. H. Csvendish's boric out of Barossa started against him, soon after which Whalebone bolted, thereby giving undisputed victory to his opponent ; and so began cud ended the Lewes diversions of this day. The new opera called Gil Bios. owing to some complicated machinery, is unavoidably postponed for • few Joys. The Proprietor, however, has for. tunately another novelty ready. in the shape of • very interesting Scottish melo-drama, entitled, Gordon the Gtpsy. Mr. T. P. CooKg is the hero, and Mr. BROADHURST has several national lar lodies. The first performance of the English company at the theatre of the Porte St. Martin, in Paris, was given on Wednesday last, and, as might have been foreseen. encountered much opposition from the Parisians. The play wss tsthello, and the tern. per of the audience was strongly manifested, even before the rising of the curtain. The piece pro ceeded with difficulty to the third act, in the midst of groans and hisses. At that time a serious quit-, rel in the pit interrupted its progress, and the stage! was invaded. More than an hour elapsed before the two last acts could be proceeded with. The Steyne, at Brighton, has just been ploughed up. and is to be laid out as a lawn. On Tuesday se'nuight M NW' LLIAM GILLZSPIE, late Quartermaster of the 29th regiment, was iu , stalled with the usual ceremonies, in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, one of his Majesty'.

The Earl of GLASGOW followed all chief mourner, accompanied by the Earl of EartoL, and Colour' and Major FITZCLARSNCR. The funeral procession from Knightsbridge was very plain.
