The dwarfs are three in number, two males and a einale (brothers and sister) ; they are fatly equipped in the High land garb, and perform a series of national, martial, and festive dances. The two males, who are remarkably active, excel in the celebrated Gills Coullam, or Sword D ance ; an d so extraordinary ' is the muscular development of the eldest that he can with ease carry two sGlb. weights about the room. He and his brother exhibit all the positions of the broadside exercise with a precision that would do honour to the first school of fence. And in addition to their other accomplishments, they, in conjunction with their sister, sing the beautiful airs of their native glens with exquisite taste and feeling. As Mr. Mackenzie. who has these singular creatures under his protection, can (in consequence of his other engagements) remain but a short time in town, the admirers of the wonderful in nature are requested to pay an early visit.

As customary, Don Giovanni attracted an overflowing as semblage, the pit being so crowded at one moment as to be impassable. The comparative coolness or the house,. with such v a es c u ro l t w e d f in h a s v o i n g w warm s n a l season,ted scientific sii menved lastin n night l t the newgoo ven tilation of the edifice, in all respects, essential as well as ornamental, so admirably restored. The heat, unbearable in most edifices, is here kept down by currents of the out ward air, so subdivided and so general, that no draught is felt. Thus is salubrity combined with recreation. The pressure of matter will not allow of our doing justice to the performances of the night. It suffices to say, that the dances as well as the lyrical portion of the entertainments met with repeated applause and encores. One encore alone failed—it was that of the shadow dance—the treacherous moon would not light itself again, and consequently the heroine of the pas, a lth ough recalled twice running, and en ticed with bouquets, could not gratify her admirers. Le delire d'un Peintre, admirably enacted by Grahn, and a new pas of the graceful Taglioni, finished triumphantly the per formance of the night. THE SCENARIO OF THE NEW BALLET OF LALLA ROOKH.* EPIGRAPH. "The imperial Selim held a feast In his magnificent shalamir, In whose saloons when the first star Of evening o'er the water trembled, The valley's loveliest all assembled; All the bright creatures that, like dreams, Glide through its foliage, and drink beams Of beauty Irons Here, too, the harem's inmates smile ; Maids from the west, with sun-bright hair, And from the garden of the Nile, Delicate as the roses there; Daughters of love from Cyprus' rocks With Paphian diamonds in their locks; Light peri forms, such as there are On the, gold meads ofgandahar ; Everything young, everything fair, From east and west is blushing there. The board is spread with fruits and wine, With grapes of gold, like those that shine On Cusbin's hills ;—pomegranates full Of melting sweetness, and the pears And sunniest apples that Cabool In all its thousand gardens bears; Plaintains, the golden, and the green; Malaya's nectar'd mangusteen ; • Every thing young, everything fair, From east and west is blushing there." SCENE I.—lnterior of the Palace of Lahore.—Hall of the Durban A brilliant scene is taking place at Lahore, where the great and magnificent Emperor Aurungzebe is holding his court. Ambassadors have arrived from Aliris, the King of Bucharia, demanding in marriage for the young Monarch the daughter of the Emperor, Lalla Rookh, described by the Persian poets as the most beautiful of those heroines whose names and loves embellish the songs and tales of Persia and Hindostan. It is agreed that the nuptials shall be celebrated at Cashmere, where the young King, as soon as the cares of empire will permit, is to meet for the first time his lovely bride ; and they will remain for a time in that enchanting valley before travelling over the snowy hills into Bucharia. The King of Buchiria has sent a brilliant suite, amongst whom is a lovely troop of Tartarian and Cashmerian maids of honour, to accompany his beautiful bride. With them comes a young poet of Cashmere, on whom his royal master has conferred the privilege of being admitted to the pavilion of the Princess, that he may beguile the tediousness of the journey by some of his most fanciful recitals. The minstrel is accordingly introduced to the presence of Lalla Rookh. He holds a kitar in his hand, and much pleases the Princess by his skilful execution, his graceful bearing, and pleasing manners ; but there is a personage in Lalla Rookh's suite, who is by no means so much delighted at the appear ance of the young poet ; it is Fadladeen, the great nazir, or chamberlain of Lalla Rookh—a personage in his own opinion of infinite importance, and who looks with the keenest jealousy on all whose talents or attractions bring them into notice. He endeavours to turn the young poet into ridicule, but in vain, and, discomfited, he withdraws full of secret rage. The new companions of Lalla Rookh now surround her, with the lovely inhabitants of that city which is so soon to be deprived of her graceful presence. They dance a Hindoo dance, in which they form into various groups, each more graceful than the preceding one, while the most fan tastic pageantry is going on around them, giving the whole the appearance of a scene of enchantment. Lalla Rookh, with her fair attendants, executes a dance, in which, as is the fashion in Hindostan, they imitate every imaginable figure. The following are some of the twenty figures represented by the Hindoo maids : Hennes The Stars The Shell The Pine Apples The Kiosks The Car of the Rising Sun The Cage The Butterflies The Mirrors The Sun's Rays The Harps The Living Statue and its The framed Picture of the Pede6tal Morning Breeze SCENE ll.—Distant view of Lahore.—The Departure. The royal party have left Lahore, which is still in sight, with the cavalcade, which presents one unbroken line of splendour. SCENE 111. —Sandy Waste. First, the jungle, the lair of tigers—and next, the dreari ness of a desert waste, has taken the place of those smiling scenes through which the journey of Lalla Rookh has hitherto laid. A wild and gloomy tract, covered with a low bushy jungle, is present to the eye, only alternated by the awful signal of the bamboo staff, above which waves a white flag, which warns the traveller that in that spot a tiger has devoured his victim. The caravan is seen approaching in the distance. SCENE IV.—The Tempest of Sand.—Suddenly the Whirl wind rises. A fearful tempest has come on. The caravan is dispersed by the storm—the travellers fly in every direction for safety, leaving the Princess alone to brave the fury of the simoon, which rages with resistless force. All sensation forsakes her; she cannot defend herself —her danger is imminent—but Fer amroy, rushing forward, saves her, and she remains lifeless in his arms. Nearly fainting with alarm for the safety of one he so dearly loves, he seeks for water to bring the 'Princess back to life, but in vain. He disappears in search of that refreshing element, so rare and precious in these arid, gloomy regions. Meanwhile stragglers flying from before the storm arrive on the scene, and amongst them is the frightened Fadladeen. The Princess still remains without sense or motion ; but Feramory re-appears, he has happily found a small quantity of water, which he brings to Lalla Rookh in a large leaf, and he has the happiness of seeing her open her eyes, now beaming with gratitud e upon him. Fadladeen can hardly conceal his rage at the te n d erness of manner of Lalla Rookh towards her preserver, and h e at length separates them. The fury of the element s i s gradually hushed—a profound calm succeeds the storm. Whilst the travellers are thank ing Allah for their preservation, night is gradually coming on. The caravan encamps on the spot, and the attendants of the Princess erect her pavilion. The most exuberant gaiety succeeds to the alarm which had prevailed but a moment before. SCENE V.—Star of Venus.—The Moon.—Night. SCENE Vl.—The Pavilion The Princess, grieved at the absence of Feramory, begs Fadladeen to send for him, but the latter evades the request by saying that the Princess needs repose rather than listen to the frivolous fantastic nonsense of the so-called bard. But the little Persian slave of the Princess has slyly slipped ont and warned the poet of her mistress's desire to see him ; he enters, and Lallah Rookh expresses the wish that his sweet minstrelsy should calm her mind after the agitation she has that day passed through. He complies, but Fadladeen, with his usual ill-natured spite, finds fault with the poet and the performer, saying that, for his part, he prefers his sweet-scented chibouk. Feramory hearing this, breaks forth into the wild and joyous strain of the chibouk song, and the Princess, inspired by these enlivening sounds, dances to the tune. The fumes of the opium be smokes sends Fadladeen to sleep, and whilst he dreams of Mahomet's paradise and the Houri, Lalla Rookh and Feramory take advantage of the opportunity to avow their mutual love. SCENE VlL—The Sandy Waste. The sun rises and sheds his warm beams over the dreary expanse, across which Lalla Rookh and her suite are to pur sue their toilsome journey, and the caravan resumes its march.

Lalla Rookh has at length arrived in the far-famed valley of Cashmere. If anything could have charmed away the melancholy of her spirits, it would have been the fresh air and enchanting scenery of the valley which the Persians so justly call the unequalled. But neither the wonders nor glones of the most lovely country under the sun, nor the gay pomps and processions that meet her on every side, nor the magnificence of her reception, can steal her heart for a minute from her sad thoughts. The rose• coloured bridal veil is flung over her head ; the ambassadors come to tell her that all is prepared for the nuptial ceremony, and that the King awaits her. The glance of Lallah Rookh falls upon the poet; she wishes to refuse the hand of the proud Mo narch, but Fadladeen expostulates with her, reminding her of the dangers of a refusal. She at length gives way, and is led forth like a victim to the sacrifice. SCENE IX.—The Vale of Cashmere and Feast of Roses. 'Twas when the hour of evening came Upon the lake serene and cool ; All were abroad—the busiest hive On Bela's hill is less alive, When saffron beds are full in flower, Than looked the valley in that hour. A thousand restless touches played Through every grove and island shade ; A thousand sparkling lamps are set On every dome and minaret ; And fields and pathways, far and near, Were lighted by a blaze so clear, That you could see in wandering round The smallest rose leaf on the ground. Yet do the maids and matrons leave Their veils at home, that brilliant eve ; And there were glancing eyes about, And cheeks that would not dare shine out In open day, but thought they might Look lovely then because 'twas night! And all were free and wandering. And what a wilderness of flowers ! It seemed as though from all the bowers And fairest fields of all the year, The mingled spoil were scattered her e . The lake, too, like a garden breathes, With the rich buds that o'er it lie— As if a shower of fairy wreaths The minaret crier's chant of glee Sung from his lighted gallery , m AO H f na dd tabors thenfall'n and thupones o o f tli dancingtndfrso of f the h joye e .the kt beat ; The description of this ballet is correct, b arr i ng a few imperfections and discrepancies inseparable from so early and, hutily-yrritten au ACCOUlitt JUNE 6, 1846.

But the gentlest of all are those sounds full of feeling That soft from the lute of some lover are stealing. TILE RECOGNITION. 'Lalla Rookh, surrounded by her ladies, and led forward by Fadladeen, advances. But such is the agitation of her heart and frame, that it is with difficulty that she walks up the marble steps, which are covered with • cloth of gold, for her ascent from the barge. Aliris, the youthful King of Bacharia, is seated on a throne, by the side of which is an other, destined in a few moments for the most beautiful princess in the world. Immediately upon the entrance of Lalla Rookh the monarch descends from his throne to meet her, but scarcely has he time to take her hand in his, when she screams with surprise, and faints at his feet. It is Feramory himself who stands before her—Feramory himself, the sovereign of Bucharia, who in this disguise had accompanied his young bride from Lahore, and, having won . her love as a humble m i ns t re l, now amp l y d eserves to enjoy it as a king. The cons t erna ti on o f F a dl a d een i s pitiable ; but, to make up for the false step he had taken, and to propi tiate the favour of his new master, he swears by all the saints of Islam that never has there existed so great a poet as the monarch Aliris. The ballet concludes by the rejoicings and the floral dances of the "Feast of the Roses" LATEST PRICES' OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

LEICESTER AND BEDFORD RAILWAY. The Committee of Management have great pleasure in re ferring the Shareholders to the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, unanimously deciding that the preamble of the Leices ter and Bedford Railway Bill has been satisfactorily established before them. The Committee of the House of Commons arrived at this unani mous decision after an investigation of nearly three weeks, during which period every effort was made by the Midland Company to procure the rejection of the Leicester and Bedford in favour of their own scheme—the South Midland. The very strenuous and protracted endeavours of the Mid i -and Company to obtain a line of railway over the same ground 54 that occupied by the Leicester and Bedford Company, afford most satis factory proof of the commercial importance of the line, and its value as a permanent investment to the Shareholders. The Committee of Management have also the pleasure to inform the Shareholders, that they are In a position to comply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords requiring a deposit of 101. per cent., without making any fluther call upon the Shareholders.

ACCIDENT TO THE BERwICB AND EDINBURGH MAIL. —On Tuesday afternoon, shortly after th e ma il h a d l e ft Berwick for Edinburgh, an accident occurred which was nearly attended with serious consequences. The mail had reached the north side of Lamberton, nearly five miles from Berwick, when, at a turn in the road, one of the wheels came in contact with a cart, filled with railway men, which was endeavouring to get to one side of the road, in order to make room, but was too late. The mail was heavily laden, and stopped suddenly, by which the guard was thrown from his seat to the ground, and had, we believe, his wrist dislo cated. The horses were startled, and broke away from the coach, carrying the pole and splinter bar along with them, and dragging the driver, named George Makes, off the box, who fell violently on the ground on his back. Fortunately the passengers sustained no injury.—Berwick Warder.

ACCIDENT AT KERSAL MOOR ON MONDAY.—Owing to the beautifully fine weather, the foot races on Monday attracted an immense concourse of people to the race-course, on Kersal Moor, and the stands were crowded even to a greater extent tban is usual on the cup day. Just at the close of the first foot-race, about half-past two o'clock, when the persons of the stands were pressing forward to see who won, the balustrade in front of two of the stands gave way, and a great number of persons on the lowest fiat fell forward to the pound below, between th e stands and the course. Fortunately, the soil therc is sand, and although sTeat alarm was excited, and muc h confusion prevailed for a time, no life was lost, nor did we hear of any fracture or other injuries more serious than severe contusions, and the shock conse quent upon a sudden fall of eight or ten feet, and the pres sure of tho se w h o fell upon the unde rmost.—Man e hes t er Guardian. r A -- • LIIDVERTISEBIENT.] How TO OBTAIN HEALTH WREN LOST.—The wonderful regenerating effects that Holloway', Pills produce upo n th e w h o l e sys t em a re truly astonishing.
