THE . THEATRES. TUEATRE.—The Opera at this-Theatre on Saturday was La Donna del Lago. In the ballet Mademoiselle AIMEE made her first ap pearance. She is a rood dancer, and was much applauded. The house had a very numerous at tendance. COVEXT GARDEN.—The very favourable im pression which Miss JONES made upon the public on the b ene fi t o f M r. CHARLES KEMBLE, in the cha rac t er o f Rosalind, was fully confirme.d by her performance of the same character on Saturday last. It is evident that her previous performance had ex cited much notice as a more numerousaudience at tended. Miss JONES amply justified our first report, and excited our surprise that so young an actress should display such maturity of merit. She Cited much applause. Mr. C. KEMBLE again supported the part of Orlanda with judgment and feeling, FAWCETT'S Touchstone was highly humorous, and was well seconded by the ludi crous Audrey of Mrs. GIBBS. CHAPIRAN, always a correct actor, rendered full justice to Adam.

NYLvE4TER (DOUGLAS) LORD GLENBERVIE T h al at Clifton ~ This Nobl eman , at an a d vance d age , recen tly ie Re was formerly %vell-known in legal an d political circles as a sound Lawyer and able Statesman. He published several legtil works which are highly esteemed. His first situ ation under Government was that of Secretary to the Earl of ‘ V ESTMOUELAND, when Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland. He afterwards Join Paymast er to the Army, and was finally Chief COM-. t missioner of Woods and Forests, which .office be "'Pled, and retired into private life, which he was well qualified to adorn by his talents, learning, experience, and the suavity of his man ners. He married Lady CATHERINE NORTH, one of the most amiable of women, and who pos. sessed all the wit • and humour for which the Guildford family have long been distinguishe l d. The death of this Lady, was a dreadful loss to Lord GLENBERVIE. By this truly amiale Lady he had issue. one son, who had displayed consi derable ability in Parliament, and correct literary taste; all acute mind and a benevo letn disposition in an Essay which he pub lished the Modern Greeks, havinq visited their country and studied their chnracter.—ThiS taost respectable and promising young man died a few years ago, after he had been married only tthout three months, and left a widow of the most exe mplary character, who devoted her attention to her father-in-law till the time of his death, from a sense of duty and affection to him and to her departed husband. -.- Lord GLEN HER VIE, l ;:aaY years ago, published Lyric Poems, written tirthe lat e JAMES MERCER, Esq., who had mar hisd sister, to which a life of the author was Prefixed and an account of his own family.

THE COSMOLorA Exii Hire rom.—This amusing Exhibi tion, which excited so much of public attention in St. James's. street, was opened on Saturday last for the inspection of the friends of the Proprietors, at their new room in Regent-street. Various judicious alterations have been made, as, instead of entering a dark chamber, rendered more obscure by a contrast with the day-light which had just been quitted, the visitor finds lihnselt in an elegant gallery, neatly embellished in the French style. The most important objects, however, are the different views, in the contemplation of which the most severe critic must find ample subject for ratification. The change in the light, which we before noticed, materially improves the effect of the picture,—the broad glare which the lamp. light necessarily cast over the view giving place to the genuine and natural tint of day. Three views of the Ruins of Palmyra struck us as particularly deserving of notice, the perspective is admirably preserved, and • the whole tone of the picture good. There is also an excellent view of the interior of the Cathedral of Cordova. The Cosmorama appears to us more particularly adapted for architectural sub jects—the views of St. Peter's in the former exhibition suffi ciently justify the assertion. The Palace of the Sultana on the Bosphorus, and the views of Mont Blanc and the Gardens of Versailles, are also admirable specimens of the perfection which this exhibition has attained. The increase in the price of ad. mission we think impolitic. Custom has long established a shilling as the standard price for London sights, and with the exception of one or two instances, any aberration from this rule has generally disappointed the cupidity of the innovator. From I the agreeable character of the exhibition, we, however, wish the proprietors all the success they. merit, and trust that the public view of the Cosmorama will find as many visitors as were present on Saturday last.

The arrival of his Majesty's ship Bathurst ; brings letters and papers from Sydney to the 23d of September. Captain KING , the Commander, h as returne d t o E ng l an d to lay before the Admiralty the full result 4 of his voyages of dis covery on the western coast of New Holland, in completion of those performed by Capt. Flinders. It must be gratifying to the many respectable families who are looking to our possessions in this Antipodean territory as their future residenCe, that almost every arrival from Port Jackson brings information that the more the researches of the inhabitants extend inland, the more are they rewarded by ascer taining an indefinite existence of fine country ; and perhaps it is not sufficiently known that the interior of New Holland yields in no instance to the beauty, excellence, and richness of the finest soils of Van Dienian's Land, with the difference of a climate that will ripen the orange. the leinon, , the olive, that invaluable grain the maize, and similar bounties' of nature. It is a singular, but not generally-known fact, that a century has elapsed since Col. Purry, in a m emo rial to the Duke of New castle, 'then Secretary of State to George I. laid it down as a pos inlat um, that " there is a certain latitude on our earth, so hap pily tempered between the extremes of heat and cold, viz. .13 degrees. whether north or south of the equator, that it will ever be found to be more productive of the choicest gifts of nature than any other part of thelterraqueous globe : it is a latitude," he con tinues, " which sheds such fruitfulness on the earth, and happi ness on mankind in general, that the further they aredistant from this degree, so much are they the less happy ! Thus Barbary, Egypt, Syria, Persia, India, China, Japan. and in short all other countries are found to excel in proportion as they ap proach it: upon this principle, Carolina, and New Mexico, in North; and Chili, and the territory bordering on the Rio de la Plata, in South, are countries preferable to any in all the Ame ricas ; and thus Andalusia is the best in all the provinces of Spain, as far, for the same reason, Languedoc and Pro vence the best in France and Naples, and Sicily the most supe rior of all the Italian dominions." It appears that so far back as 1723 Colonel Purry wished to induce our Govern ment to form a settlement in New Holland, and that lie sub , sequently addressed the Dutch and French Ministry on the same subject ; his application to the latter was referred to the Academy of, Sciences at Paris, who coldly replied, " They could not judge of countries they had not seen ; ' and nearly 71) years after, when Captain Cook returned from eircumnavi gating. the Globe, it was left for Great Britain to add the vast acquisition of Australasia to the empire, and by the settlements in New iouth Wales to, confirm the position and realize the ' anticipations of that enterprising man. The last Sydney Gazcttes bring only general local intelli gence, but they bespeak, by their appearance, activity in all the movements of the settlements. An Agricultural Society has been formed, promising much advantage to The territory. Sir Thomas Brisbane is its patron ; and some idea may be formed of the increasing number of respectable colonists, from eighty gentlemen having sat down at Paramatt a , a t the first dinner of the establishment in August last, when upwards of 1,5001. was subscribed, to carry into effect the purposes of the establish- , The new-formed settlement at •Macquarri Harbour, esta blished as a secondary place of transportation for the offending convicts, bad continued to make successful progress. The coal here is found good and easy of access, and the timber, both in quantity and quality, answers every expectation. As a proof that the increase of luxuries keeps pace with the more solid improvement in all the comforts of life, an ad vertisement in one of the Sydney papers invites masters of vessels to pick oranges for their sea-stores from the trees of a settler, at 6d. per dozen. A very few years since this esti. mable fruit was only attainable in the colony at W. each ! The same paper says, a house in Sydney i s now se lli ng colo nial tobacco fully equalling the celebrated American negro head in its strength and peculiar sweetness. The bee-hives taken out by Capt. Wallis, of the Isabell a , fortunately arri ve d sa f e , and four of their thickly populated habitations are now in the neighbourhood of Sydney, where the valuable little colonizers seem to lose none of their forces from their change of climate, but rather to increase in thrift and liar diltood. 'I owner expected to extend his four to twenty hives in twelve months, so congenial to th e i r prosper i ty an d nature i s their newly -acquired land. Those cultivators of the vine whohave selected proper situa tions have every prospect of being amply rewarded. Mr. Max land brought over some s amp l es of Australasian wine in the Shipley, for submission to the Society of Arts, who have award ed him the silver medal, in token of their approbation of its quality. While every minor source of wea l t h is obtaining due atten. tion in the territory at large, the immediately feature that distin guishes New South 'Wales, more as it regards the interest of this country, is the peculiar fine wool of its sheep. The favourable prices it obtains here, and thebigh opinion entertained of its qualities by our most experienced manufacturers, continue to stimulate the growers to increased exertion. On Colonel Purry's principle of the fruitful character of the 33d degree, the latitude of Port-Jackson seems to be that in which the pure Merino breed delight and prosper more than in any other; for, although perseverance will ultimately improve the flocks of Van Diemen's Land, the settler in that island finds in his atten tion to the fine-woollen breeds, difficulties to contend with un known in them more congenial climate of New South iVales.

IRELAND. (Cork Achnertietr,- May ,1.) DARING ATTACK UPON A VILLAGE RYA PARTY OF IN SURGENTS AND SPIRITED REPULSE OF. THEM BY THE INUABITAN TS. • We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter, detailing.one of the most daring attacks that the history of the present disturbances affords:— " On Tuesday night last a most desperate attack was made about nine o'clock, by an immense party of Insurgents on the Palatine village of Glanasheen, on the Castle Oliver Estate, where four Policemen were stationed. SeVeral houses were laid in ashes, and it was the intention of the Rebels to have consumed the whole village and to have murdered the inhabi tants. The Insurgents were distinctly heard to say, that not one should be allowed to escape. Two of the Police, with two of the Palatines, were on guard,who heard the Rebels approach: ing, and instantly challenged them, on which the Rebels fired a voley, fortunately without effect. The Police and Palatines re- turned the fire, and kept it up for some time. Another party of the Rebels set fire to several of the Palatine houses, which, with the furniture,&c.were totally consumed. The small partyof Palatines, with the four Policemen stationed there, must soon have been overpowered, but that providentially that active and most zea lous Officer, Lieutenant Lightbody, of the 71st regiment, was on patrole about two miles distant, who saw the flames and heard the shots, and arrived in sufficient time to fire a volley on the. Rebels, who fled ; -and in the pursuit, they found one man dead, and took two prisoners. As yet, the dead man has not been claimed. Mr. Lightbody still continued to pur sue them towards the County of Cork, in the direction of Doneraile; but the difficulty of the mountain pass, and the darkness of the night, prevented any more prisoners being taken. A ball passed under the arm of one of the Police, without doing much injury, and no further injury was sus tained by the Police or the Army. No doubt many of the Rebels are wounded, for the party of the 71st nearly expended all their ammunition. There has not been so premediated an attack, since the Churchtown business. The Rebels called on the Police several times to surrender their arms, and that no injury should be done to them; however, they were soon made sensible that the Police and Palatines were determined to support that character of loyalty to their King that they had evinced when tried in the year 1798. A Palatine School-master whose house was on fire, attempting to get out through the roof on hearing the Rebels declare that he was a Protestant Devil, and that not one should be spared. He had a miraculous escape, being fired at repeatedly. On Wednesday night the 23d instant, an out-house belong ing to Thomas Mannix, tenant to Robert Sanders, Esq. close to Charleville, was maliciously set on fire; there were two horses and twenty barrels of potatoes in the house at the time ; fortunately by Mannix's exertion, with the assistance of his servants, it was saved. Same night a large farm-house near Drew's Court, the pro, perty of Mr. Fitzgibbon, was consumed. Also a field of oaths on the lands of Farthingville, the property of Mr. Bailie, w a s maliciously dug up, a nd a grass field, containing six acres, turned up on the same lands. On Friday night, the 25th instant, one cow was barbarously houghed. and two others had their tails brutally cut off, and a Rock notice placed under the tails, the property of Mr. Owen Sullivan, on the lands of Ballyncolig, near Charleville. Major Maxwell, in consequence of good information, suc ceeded in finding tbur guns, two pistols and one sword, on the nights of Friday and Saturday last, very artfully concealed. THE MARKETS.

The Coroner said, that if the Jury were of opinion that the death of the deCeased was produced by the violent act of La tham, be having at the time a malicious intention to do the de.. ceased some serious injury, the offence amounted to murder; but as the blows appeared'to have been given in consequen ce of some provoc a tio n on t h e part of the deceased, and in the . heat of passion, and mo s t p ro b a bl y w i t h out any such intention, ' then, though the death of the unfortunate person was caused by the blow, the offence did not amount to murder.

At this small hole the thief introduced a long piece of thick iron wire, having a twisted screw at the end, by which means he pulled the gold chains and other small articles through the hole having previously marked where they hung ; at length the screw ' of his instrument got entangled in a bunch of gold seals, which being too large to pass through, and not being able to disentangle the instrument from them, he was under the necessity of leaving this curious house-breaking, instrument belied him.
