FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, May 3.)• BUCHAREST, APRIL 9.—We have no' news, Tut continue to-be in the greatest alarm. Things are in the same state at Jassy. •it is said thatthe Austrian Consuls in the two Principalities have received orders, as they did in thepreceding invasion, to cease their functions as soon , as the Russians shall enter, for the very natural reason that their credentials are to the . Hospodars; They'•are to retire into Tran ,:ylvania. VIENNA, APRrI.•23..—If we may believe merean tile letters'from Odessa, dated the 'loth, Official news had been received there from St. Petersbur(gloliat the Russians had orders to pass the Pruth on the 221. It appears that in truth no official news on the sakiect has been received, but the nttmerous;sales which have taken place on the 'Change have caused nur funds to fall. Yesterday our merchants still•en tertained hopes of peace : to-day they are all appre hensive of war. Metalliques, 88g. Bank Shares, 1,006. 23d, in the evening.—At the close of the 'Change to-day, it was generally reported, that mercantile letters from the frontiers of Moldavia announced , that the Russians had entered that province on the 17th : this news, however, appears to need confirma tion.—Augsburgn Gazette. FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, APRIL 15.—Travellers -,-rho quitted St. Petersburgh on the 7th, say that the Emperor, at a late review of the troops, an nounced to them that he would-soon lead them to battle, and that the soldiers received this news with transports of joy. The letters from Tulciin- say that the day for the entrance of the Russians into the Turkish territories has been fixed, as the Euro pean journals have said; but - that it is supposed that , ;.t will take place about the end of April. (From the Messager des Chambres of May 2.) SECOND EDITION. VIENNA, APRIL 23.—People are impatient almost in every eountor, but especially in Germany, to preiict the views of the Russian Cabinet. Accord ing to several journals, the days for the passage of the Pruth and the departure of the Emperor Nicholas from St. Petersburgh are irrevocably determined. It cannot be too often repeated, that nothing certain, nothing official, has yet been said on this subject. Travellers are said to have related a sort of speech made by his Imperial Majesty to his troops at a review, and that the universal acclamations of the soldiers replied to his promise to soon lead them to victory. The St. Petersburgh Journals of a later date than the 7th have been received, but they do not say a word of this incident, which was too important to be passed over in silence; and persons who have had an opportunity of observing the prudent cha racter of , the young Emperor .of Russia, do not re cognize the spirit of reserve by which he is directed in every thing in this announcement, which is much like those which, 20 years ago, *ere in the mouth of the Emperor of the French. Every thing indicates that no serious military operations can take place before the end of April, and the Emperor Nicholas, though acting in his own cause, will, according to all appearance, do nothing except in concert with the principal Power;: of Europe, and according to the stipulations of the reaty of the 6tli July.

The Pamburgh steam boat has arrived with Papers to the 3d of May :—Vienna, April 25, Metalliques, 88i. A Courier had arrived at Bucharest ; left Constantinople April 2, when all was quiet there. The Gazette de France of Saturday's date says, that the Emperor of RUSSIA, at a late re vie-, of his troops, announced that he would soon lead them to battle, which they received with transports of joy ; but we much question whether the EMPERoIt would so far forget him self as to make any such delaration before he had joined the army. The thing would be entirely premature as well as impolitic. Indeed, the Messager des Chambres, now the organ of the French Ministry, is of our ()pillion, and adds that the Emperor of RusstA is resolved upon adhering to the Treaty of the 6th July. The Magnet packet has brought us Lisbon Gazettes to the 20th ult., hut they contain no news of any importance. Don MIGUEL is making all reasonable approaches to absolute Sovereignty : T.ISTION, APRIL 16. The Gazette contains two Decrees of the Infante Re gente, dated 12th April, Palace of Adjuda :- 1.

The Ki ng o f SWEDEN had set out, on the 21st, on his journey to Norway, and was not expected to return till the beginning of July. It appears thaot the Emperor NICHOLAS is resolved upon making bis late conquest in Persia an integral part of the, .Empirß.--and for more security is to add it to his titles by the style of the provide of Arinenia,- much in the same way that the King of FllAlicE adds Navarre. Bomliay Papers to the 24th December have been received, but they contain little of import ance. The heavy gales from the South-East had done much damage to the shipping. Brur;scls Papers of the 3d inst. state that the LORD HiDU COMMISSIONER of the lonian Isles has declared the harbours of Navarin and Motion in a state of blockade, W e a re way to understand that his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX is far from well Many of our readers wilt participate in the sincere satisfaction which we feel at Mr. WIL BERFORCE'S health having enabled him to appear at the General Meeting of the Anti- Shivery Society, a full account pf which will be found in our columns. There is nit. a ,human being now on earth for whom we entertain snob unqualified veneration and respect. Amongst the wonders of this am's nzirabilis may be mentioned the hardly credible fact, that the " John Bull" has become an advocate 'for the " Emancipation of the Papists" (we quote his own words), " a tastasufe • which it really seemi cruel and unjust to oppose.' The odds are, in consequence, three to one that the Bill passes in the Commons, and even betting that it is not defeated in the Lords. Various unsuccessful attempts have been made ; to introduce ',alterations in the Corn 13i11, pro pose 4 by Ministers, most of which ),,ye conceive to be inju.d.icious, and we sincerely rejoie.e. th2refore, that they have generally been frustrated by large. .majorities. The two rival parties on naturally propose opposite schemes. is for tower in g the this questiopnarty The one b d uty; e other is for raising it. But it is 'expedient t o steer a middle course between th ese as between all extremes. We, f the r .i ea3ons we stated at large in a former Paper, y() not! take the same. interest as others in the details of this measure, b eca use we have no confi dence in the principle on witiCh it is founded. It is no doubt the most proper plan, the most eligible compromise,. between, A pposite interests that can be adopted. But considering as we do the foreign supply of corn, about which the whole question is raised, to be of little conse quence compared, with thc home supply, we (1 ° not attach so much consequence as others do to the measure. We do not 'think that the foreign supply, whether it is admitted, or whetter it is with held, has any great influence on :,thet price ; and having these views we are 'the; less disposed. to differ with the ministerial,meaiure that has been brought forward for one or two shillings of higher or of lower duty. We- are Foiiiincek I under the qualifications which ex pressed, that though' it is a nugatory. scheme it is still the best that under • all circumstances can he proposed. When we say' it is nugatory, we mean that the admitting or . the withholding of the foreign supply cannot materially influence the rite, and it can neither lower it nor depress it in any" considerable degree. And in proof of this we may again state the notorious fact; that when foreign corn could be freely brought into this country, which was the case for 30 years prior to 1815, the price was almost always high, and that subsequent to the period when the ports were skit, which was in the end of 1817, or rather in 1818, and when we had the complete • monopoly of the home market, the prices were low. Corn fell in 1822 to the amaiing low price of 38s. per quarter. . Now, may we not fairly infer from these facts that the foreign supply has not much influence in regulating the price, seeing that when it was ad mitted the price was high, and when it was exclud ed the price was low.? There is no doubt that the tendency of excluding foreign corn is to raise the price ; and the tendency of admitting it is - to lower it. But this cause is so insignificant, com pared with the great causes which are continually at work in the home market, and which are con nected with the home supply, that it is never felt. It is entirely lost amid other and more powerful causes over which we have no controul, aSexpe rience shews ; for the . price of corn has risen ex actly counter to all our artificial policy; it has been high when it ought to have been low, and it has been low when it ought to have been high. Such being our view of the principle of the measure, founded as we consider it on the most notorious facts, which we stated in detail in a former Paper, we do nut, as we said before, enter with a very deep interest into all its details—yet when we see Mr. BENETT, the partisan of the agricultural in terest, moving for high duties, we cannot help asking him to look at the history of the Corn Laws, and to say whether any extreme measure of this nature, proposing prohibitory duties, ever was, or evei can be, executed in this free country ? We cannot have any measure that would ex- elude corn at 60s. or at 70s. per quarter, when it is wanted for our people at home. Such an Act may be passed, but it never will be carried into effect ; for, we appeal to experience, if when corn has risen to a high price, the Privy Council has not invariably interposed its dispensing power as a shield to the people from the severity of the law, and permitted the importation of corn in defiance of Acts .. of Parliament ? This has always. been 'done, and it will be done again. Let not the agricultural interest therefore trust to Acts of Parliament, that go against justice and expediency, for they never will, nor can be, enforced. A moderate measure affords- them a far better security, to which they may trust: But when the artificial policy of prohibiting the importation of corn is too generally strained, it will give way, and supplies of foreign corn will then rush in by an ordinance of the Privy Council. Yet even in this there is no great danger. The alarm for an inundation of foreign corn is a mere chimera. Foreign corn does not exist in such superabundance as to make any impression on the markets of this country. JACOB'S last report, which is replete with sound and li beral ideas, as well as with the most in teresting statistical knowledge, proves this. The moment the British demand is felt on the Continent the price rises ; and if it is low when importation begins, it is soon. brought so near to an equality as to obviate the slightest chance of any overflow from the ill-supplied stores 'of the corn countries in Europe. ON these grounds, therefore, which we have never yet seen' controverted, we consider the present to be a. necessary and a desirable mea sure—a sort of central point, in which op ppsite interests meet and are reconciled—a compromise to settle a long agitated question, on which concessions must be made by both parties for the sake of peace t and considering it in this view we cannot expect that in its minute details it will exactly square with all the preju dices and fealipgs which opposite interests have conjured up. Suck perfection is not to be ex pected from any legislative measure,; but it may lug on this account he the less deserving of support. THE FUNDS-(THIS PAY). CITY, TIV.ELVE 0 . CLOCK.

Upon this case being called on, a long discussion took place as to on whom the burthen lay of opening the case; Mr. Horne contending it was a re-hearing of the whole de cree, and Mr. Sngden that it was not ; in consequence of some irregularity having been discovered in• the course of the discussion, Mr. HoitNF. requested that the case might stand over, for the purpose of amending the petition, which could be done iu a week. His LORDSHIP ordered the case to stand at the bottom of the present paper. Mr. BICK ERSTETH said he should now ask the Court for the benefit of one of the new Orders. This was a case in which the party presenting the petition was not really to proceed with it, and therefore, according to the Order to which he referred, he considered he was entitled to the costs.. lUr. HoartF. submitted, that here time was of the essence of the case, and that it grew out of a proceeding which had its conception before the Orders, and that hii Learned Ft iend was not entitled to what he asked. His LORDSHIP requested when the case came again be fore-the Court, that his attention might then be directed the costs. Several of the appeals were called on, and could not be proceeded with in consequence of the absence of Counsel, in others there were discussions as to who were or who were not to begin, and the Court was proceeding with the appeal of Parry v. Parry when we left. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. AIoNTA- CUE applied that a solicitor might be committed to the custody of the Warden of the Fleet Prison, for contempt in not havin g delivered the proceedings of a certain bank ruptcy, and also in not having sent in his bill of coats, pursuant to a former order of the Court. The VicE-Cit.c Emma. asked whether the solicitor had been served with a notice of the present application. Mr. MowraatlF. said that there was an affidavit of the service. HIS HONOU a made the order for the committal. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER. STOPPING UP A FOOT-PATH. THE KING V. ADAMS. This was an indictment against the defendant for stop ping up a public path at Ware, in Hertfordshire. The case was tried at the last Assizes for Hertford, when a ver. diet was returned against the defendant, but as it appeared that the footway, had been stopped up for 19 years and a half without any complaint being made en the part of the public, the Learned Jiulge who presided at the trial sug gested, that the parties should consent to have a ne.v path opened at the expense of the defendant, its lieu of the old path. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now moved for a rule to show cause why all further proceedings should not be stayed until next Michaelmas term. Lord TENTERDEN inquired whether the object of the application was to protract the proceedings until 20 years bad elapsed, and the statute of limitations would interfere. The SOLICITOW-GENERAL assured the Court that his client had no such object. The gentleman at whose in stance the prosecution was instituted had expressej him self satisfied with the new footway, but another individual belonging to the parish had taken up the business, and the defendant was served with a notice that .he would be called up for judgment on Thursday next. The defendant'S ob ject in asking for proceedings to be stayed until after Michaelmas was, that by that time he expected the . new footway, in making which he had incurred ; considerable expense, would be open to the public. It was also im portant for the Court to know that the new footway was opened in corwequence of a reference to Mr. Thessiger, at the suggestion of the Learned Judge, before whom the case was tried: Aft e r consulting together the Court agreed to grant a rule nisi. ' • - CI.AIMS OF BRITISH SUBJECT S ON THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT. - • EX-PARTE TRUSTEES OF LAW AND CHEVALIER. Sir J. SCARLETT moved for a rule to shoW cause why a mandamus should not be directed to Gen. Collingwood, C. M`Kenzie, Esq., and G. Hammond, Esq., Commissioners for liquidating the claims of the British subjects against France, calling on them to satisfy the balance of an award made by them. This award was made in consequence of a treaty made between this country and France, in 1814. By an article of that treaty, the French Govern ment contracted to pay all debts contracted with the subjects of England during the war. In pur suance of this article the sum of 150,000 francs in the perpetual rentes was assigned over by the French Go vernment to the Commissioners. Those Commissioners had awarded the sum of 44,296 francs, as due to the trustees of Law and Chevalier, which was equal to 2,422 francs in the perpetual French rentes. Nit 53 per cent. however, of the sum awarded, had been paid, and when the Commissioners were applied to, to pay the remaining balance of 47 per cent. they refused to do so on the ground that the. fund assigned over by the French Government was inadequate to the claims allowed by the ,Commis sioners. The Trustees "of Law and Chevalier were Lord Bexley, Sir R. H. Inglis, and Job M. Raikes, Esq. and the application was founded OR an affidavit made by Mr. Richardson, the solicitor fOr the Trustees, and by Sir R. H. Inglis. The COURT inquired whether the case could not be brought before the Privy Council. Under the Act, by which the fund was transferred to the Commissioners, it did not appear that the questions arising out of that Act were to be decided by a Court of Justice. Sir JAMES ScARLETT replied that if the Commissioners had refused to make an award in favour of the trustees, application might be made to the Privy Council, but the Commissioners had made an- award satisfactory to the trustees, having granted all they required, and the only question now was, how they could be compelled to pay the balance of that award. After their' Lordships h6O consulted together for some time, Lord 'rENTERDEN said, that the Court had deter mined to grant a rule to show cause why the Commis sieners should not hear anti determine upon the claims of the trnstees, and it would then be competent for the trustees to appeal to the Privy Council, Sir J. Scitar.rrr expressed himself satisfied with a rule in these terms, which was accordingly granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DODIBLAS AND OTHERS V: FORREST. On Saturday last, Mr. Sergeant WTl:at obtained a rule to chew cause why a new trial should not be granted; and this day Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET appeared to chew cause against the rule. The plaintiffs are the assignees of Messrs. Stein and Co. of Edinburgh, to whom a person uamed Hunter was a clerk prior to the year 1800. 11e went to India, where he died in 1817. After he had been absent many years, it was discovered that he was indebted to Messrs. Stein and Co. in the sum of 4501., and, according to the usage of Scotland, a horn was wound at the Market-cross of Edinburgh, re yjii jag him to appear on the shore of Leith, to pay the said debt, or defend the said action. Hunter knowing nothing of this did not appear, and judgment -was obtained against him, and an action of assnmpsit was brought a g ainst his executor in England, founded upon the judgment against hinself in Scptland. The around taken against this action was, first, that aasumpsit, under the Cir., cumstances, could not lie . ; and, secondly, th;.t the statbte of limitations barred the right of the plaintiffs to recover.

This splendid exhibition, containing no less than 1,214 works, opened at twelve o'clock this morning, and was almost instantly after crowded by an im mense influx of amateurs, connoisseurs, and would•be patrons of the Fine Arts. The collection of paint ings is, on the whole, an excellent one, and has been largely contributed to by Sir Thomas Lawrence, Messrs. Jackson, Mulready,Turner, Pickersgill,Ward, Jones, Eastlake, and others, whose names alone are a " tower of strength." No. 193. A composition taken , from the Paradise Lost, by Mr. Etty, which the Marquis of Stafford pur chased on Saturday for 500 guineas, is well , worthy of that artist's fame. " The bevy of fair women" dancing to the sound of "soft amorous ditties," possesses much judicious grouping ; 'the drapery, too, is managed with consummate skill, and the countenances of the dancers have (the females especially) a wanton but not unpleasing expression about them ; one fine girl, with black eyes, and a full rounded bosom, her face half-turned towards the spectators, is con ceived in the very spirit of valuptuousness: Mr. Etty has stu.4ied at Rome, Vienna, and Naples, after 'Paul Ve ronese, Tinteretto, and Titian, with considerable effect. He has discarded in some degree the defectiye colouring of Tinteretto and Paul Veronese, and improved upon the. drawing of Titian. We many congratulate the public pn the aCquisition of such a master, who far seven years of his life was apprenticed to a Printer at Hull. No. 262. Boccacio relating the Tale Of the Bird Cage. —This is remarkable only for, the glaring 'defeats of its light and shade't it is a bad imitation Of Stottiatd'i-group log and arrangeinent, and should not hiS . e procieded'from the same artist who, could rairit' so beautiful a picture aq No. 60, that of .Dido directihg the Equipment of the Fleet on the morning of the Carthaginian Empire. The effect and glow of an eastern sun in this last is pourtrayed with astonishing fidelity; and to slew the mind of the artist, nothing is more striking than the daring effect of the tree which he has raised up amidst that large'mass of light; to this and the boat floating on the water he Owes chiefly the rich effect of his picture. The figures are well grouped, and have a complete atmosphere round them. No. 340. An attempt to illustrate the opening rtf the 6th Seal. This is . a really magnificent production ; a daring illusion with respect to style, and strongly calcu lated to work upon the imagination. The effect, however, throughout, is false, and gives the idea (as in scenic trice sentations) of the light being cast over a surface through a coloured glass. Nevertheless, no other man in England could have painted such a picture. No. 66. Portrait of Lady Lyndhurst.lli Sir T. Lawrence,—This is the first and most successful attempt at painting a complete brunette 'we have yet Seen. To increase the effect, in opposition to her Ladyship's artist has attired fii black velvet; the com plexion, the - • back-ground is still and quiet, and would lead 'the spectator to conclude that the portrait was the original reflected to his vision from a looking-glass. No. 114. Portrait of the Countess Gower and her daughter.—This is another felicitouS specimen by the same master. N 0.153. Portrait of his Grace the Duke of Northumber land.—Mr. Phillips has here, in the representation of his Grace's figure, ventured rather too closely upon the imita tion of a sugar-loaf. The portrait is besides mean and in , significant, and gives but a sorry idea of the representative of England at the late French Coronation. No. 298. Portrait of a favourite *Hunter.--Thisjsin Ward's best style, an.l is the full size, of life. Each indivi dual peculiarity of the original figure is strictly preseqeo- No. 232. Landscape, by Constable.—A rich Mnl'va ried piece of colouring, imbued all over with the qualities of English landscape. A shower has a pparently just passed over, and a few flitting clouds throw their flickering light and shades over the country.. The gleaming water in the distance is inimitable. N 0.454. Portrait of a Tell :CI, by E. Landscer.—Thete is much expression in this portrait; it is in the anti-room, where it may perhaps he undeservedly passed over. Th e animal is white, and is in the act of pawing a coiled up hedge-hog. No. 217. Echo, by G. Arnold.--This is a pretty pic ture, exquisitely pencilled, but is tame in effect, and looks too much like something between ' a ft enamel and a tea board. gar l: A . uYP W ye T e S xh i ec ev ua i ted e n :. 1214...... 511670R7. frrawte G esa r irt o tblm u lie p ga co e mßet : nt : .:t. ia ad r i b l iL l g e, hatd o ry f u l of race.

There is much truth and spirit in this bust: the eyes are adthirably managed, and the tout ensemble of the countenance clearly designates the author of the Famous toast—" The Three C'S,' Cox, King,' and Curtis." No. 463.

Yo ; riety of subje c t, f orce o f co l our i ng , an d a cc u rac y detail, is the best we have yet seen from Mr. But' ford.: The view is taken from -the Bay • (neat 'the Light-hotise), whence the, whae wide sweerpf its water bursts at once upon spectator ., The first object—and to our eyes the most welcome, because the most characteristic.—that.arrests the. attention on entering, is the Moto Anovrt, ou which a fevi fishermen are lazily lolling, dressed, in .the-,horaelY but picturesque costume of their class: the ' , figure fronting the spectator, and who is seated crow legged on-a rude sort of - stone bench at the near Oa of the Mao, is Very 'ably and naturallY Beyond the town, at the farther. end, is a vast ope'l expanse of water, which stretches away into (Lis' tance, bounded by nothing-4a the hOrizon. Th ls distance is executed with consummate 'skill; the eye follows it as it were for miles, and might almost imagine it real. ,On . the opposite side of the Panorama appears the Lanterta, n-) 011 / watch-tOwer, erected 'on - a rock or hill'; a bold and imposing • object, 'and - gives five relief to the landscape immediately surrounding it. A little further on is the Ponte della Larder - nth at the extremity of the mole,. which stands -cons;' derably forward in front, and is supposed to be the object nearest the spectator. • An immense quantity of shipping forms a sort of parallel line to this mole; the perspective of which, from ite confused nature must have been a very difficult task to execute sue* cessfully ; Mr.-Biirford,'however, has grappled w ith and overcome the,difficulty. Still further to the *ight and..creeping. in every direction up-the sides -of tlu hills,•lending° them an air o f vivid ahiniation and.'l ll , terest, iz situated the body of tne 'city of Genoa an immense but agreeably diversified cluitei, ( 31 buildings ; here adorned • with white, sParklink terraces—there shaded with trees. Among thetn is the palace in which the late Queen Caroline forentne; time, and previous to her departure for the-Lake ()- Como, took up her abode ; it, is close to the sesms and throws a fine bold shadowinto the water.. In deed the shade of the: different palaces as it flickers and-trembles upon the surface of - the wrote , is one of the most- beautiful: -and delicately painted objects in the Panorama; and relieves the monotu' nous appearance of_ an unruffled expanse, of water.

This exhibition, which was opened for private spection on Saturday,presents an entertaining varlet,' of scenes, and is, we think, an improvement even on the Diorama. The first view, however .(Antioc4) , presents little or no novelty ; that one, in particular , which embraces the City,aad the foreground of whit is made up chiefly of green fields', intersected' wit h quaint, formal-looking hedges, might, if we could overlook the interference here.- and there of a te ll spiral minaret, be mistaken for an English landscape' Constantinople (painted by M: Parent) is too distant " view to excite any particular interest. - The spec, tator is supposed to look down on the 'city trona ° height, the consequence of which is, that the build' ings and gardens, mosques, quays, &c. and even the Bosphorus itself, dwindle into comparative insight' fieance. The fore-ground is pretty, though, eve n that wants character. The 04ward Court. of the Seraglio gives a good- . idea of the originati it ,° bold striking piece of colouring. 'T.rini#,,Chapel, Canterbury Cathedral,' has also the. merit of exact' ne, , s ; in fact, it almost rivals the atchiteatural Wu' sions of the Diorama. . The Throne -of the Arch' bishop's, at the further extremity .of 'the Chl e, d deserves particular praise. Lucerne, in Suritzertw e '! is a rieh,,.luxuriantlandscapej "there i 4 hotve t ' notwithstanding its beauty, too :trincli'stilflire it.. The Palace of the Sultana .Hadidge,itietepiete of colouring, is excellent ; it stretches (close to the water's edge) for some distance along the Bosphorus , and presents a striking appearance of splendor . Interior of bt. Paul's Cathedral.—Th'e idea of site and vastness is well sustained in this picture; there is besides a eumbroirt . - magnificence about it ° truly characteristic, 'that .it cannot fail to be re' cognised. -Interior of St. Peter's, Route.--4 11l ' painting is chiefly remarkable for the admirable effect of its perspective, which stretches along from Pillar to pillar to en immense distance. ,The shadows, t 6° ' columnsthrown from the ponderous 'stone on. the tesselated pavement, are managed with great 04 °9 ' .and varied according to the sunshine, as it i's: l3- .,ur posed to burst forth now a n d then throiliptp r 100 - cent window.

'There - ,tge a fe l : more pictures, none of which, however,,if WeexceP` the Valley' Lanterbronn, are of any particula r merit: We therefore dismiss them with ageneral recommendation—as a whole the collection, we re peat, is a good one. • THEATRE.—Madame PASTA q peared here on Saturday night, as Desdemona, in Rosstst'a Opera of. Otello. She went through the part with her usual ability, and was received with great applause. DRURY•LANE THEATRE.—Mr. LuNN comedy entitled " Roses and Thorns" was revived here 0 " Saturday night, fur the ptirpose of exhibiting the force °f contrast, in the acting of LISTON and Matitows. It nra 4 favourably received. " The School for Gallantry, 3 petite comedy, in one act, was afterwards produced for the first time; it is, we understand, from the pen of Jo os ' and is worthy of that actor's intelligence and vivacity.
