The Comic Opera of Saturday night went of as usual, not one haml of applause at the .finish of the first Apt, and a general - hiss at the conclusion. The l i lac( was Avell received by a numerous au-. dience, who came slow in, arid, very late—they were in luck, for they escaped the Opera, which was hurried through by half-past nine. We sec it attempted in i'ufls to ascribe the dis pleasure shewn by every -audience of the season to party spirit----,we would thank those who assert this, to tell us who are satisfied with the Opera as it is now conducted, and which is in three words " absolutely beneath contempt."

A few nights since,, according to report, a g'entieman in riding towards Plymouth from ,Knaeker's Hole, heard sonic horrible groans in 'side a hedge.' At first he supposed that it, was ,some trick.to rob him, by inducing hint to stop : but after a little hesitation, fear gave wav to hnmanity, and alighting he proceeded to the spot, where he discovered a woman in the pains of labour, yltoentreated him to go back t 6 Knacker's Hole lull fete : ner,husband, with medical assistance. He lost no time in complying with her wishes , & was return ing with her husband and'a'surgeon, accidentally in the village,_ when the me a marine, wearing a large 'g'reat coat, left by the Gentler-nail with the woman to protect her, from cold.. On in terrogating hint, where be got the great'eoat, he asserted that it was hiS own : but the falsehood was palpable, and . taking him into custody they hastened to the poor female, who was senseless, but had giVen birth to a Child, which lay by her side. The marine, after beating her most inhu manly, had robbed her of the great coat. FIRE.-Yesterday, about two o'clock in the afternoon, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Turner, in Old -street, St. Luke's. which at first caused cons'iderahle alarm, but it was got under after destroying the interior part of the house and the furniture. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—The following sin - - gnlar circumstance occurred lately in the village of Ugston, near Lander, Scotland. A pair of pi geons, having taken up their abode in a dwelling house in that village, built a nest there, in which the hen laid two eggs. During the time of her incubation, an intimacy comme nce d bet ween her and the family cat, which soon became so close, that they were' very seldom seen apart ; and, however incredible it may appear, yet it is a well authenticated fact, that, as often as the pigeon left the nest," the cat was' seen to take her place. Thus matters proceeded till. the chickens were hatched, when pus's predilection for themErspring became as apparent as it had been for the parent, and continued till 'the period of their having become full-fledged, when a pain ful separation ensued—painful as it respected puss. But, regardless of her feelings, they took up their ordinary residence in the roof. Hither the in consolable cat's eves were often directed. Un able, however,. to, brook a separation longer, she clambered up to their abodes,' and with evident satisfaction, seated herself contiguous to them. For their company she still continued to discover the same partiality, nor has she ever attempted to offer them any violence, notwithstanding the known voracity of this animal, and their hostility to the feathered tribe. C;::[.1-,;"p()INTIAN The Projectors and Proprietors of this Institu tion char:if together on Saturday, at the Freema sons'favern. His Royal Rightness the Duke of Vora was the Chairman. The Dukes of KENT a d were present, the Foreign Ministers, the Loan MAYOR of London, and many of the "Nobility. The assemblY'‘fias .one of the mos: splendhlwe have ever a•itnessed. The cloth removed, and the Usual toasts of form disposed of ; r Sir ARCHIBALD Maeromaen addressed the Meeting. He briefly touched on tie ohj.ects of the Charity, awl congratulated the Assembly on their having h Chairman, who had already giVen a pledge of the zeal with which _he would labour to promote•tbeinterests of the Charity, projected for the tel and support of the children' of :hose who, lost their lives fighting the hattles'of their country, in. the excellent establishment at Chel sea,.. of 'which he (the, Duke of York) was the founder. lie then proposed the health of his Royal Highness. The toast having been drank with three times three, The Duke of YO t aa returned thanks for , the ho nolr he had received, and declared the advance - - meat of the interests -of the Institutio:r, by every means in his power, would ever be the objet-' near his heart. " The Caledonian Asylum, and may the , off spring of the brave never want - a protector,'' was the next toast. The Duke of KENT., in introducing it, gave a short history of the rise and progress -of the pro ject now about to be carried into .effect. The plan had been suggested in March I SOS, and was never lost sight of, though the circumstances' of the tunes prevented its being, brought to maturity at an earlier period. He dwelt on the importance of its object, and depicted the advantages likely , to result from it in glowing terms, and expressed his determination to promote the success of it by ev/ry possible means. An animated and appropriate Address, written for the occasion, was recited by Mr. Port:, with 'great effect. That Gentleman,' it w a s stat e d (by the Duke of Kent), far front receiving any remn neration.for his exet dons, was himself a liberal .subscriber to the cbarity—(Loud applause). The Earl of BREADALBANE proposed the health , of the Duke of Clarence, which was drank with applause. Mr. CHARLES GRANT made an animated appeal to the feelings of the Meeting, on the propriety of straining every nerve to farther its interesting 'object. It was not only recommended to' them by benevolence, but by policy. The soldier would advance to battle with more courage avid devotedness, for being:assured that if he should fall, his children would be provided for. It bad been well said by a General to animate hiS troops, %vim just before going into action, had expressed some uneasiness for their families, " fear nothing', my lads, for from this day your children are the children Of your country." He could not survey the present assembly but with the warmest emo tions of satisfaction and joy. What would.hava been the feelings, if the ancestors of those noble personages who surrounded Abe Royal Chairman, and who had been so often opposed in hardy and bloods' contention to Lekaeland, had they beheld the spectacle that now preseateditselfof perfect union between the two countries, and seen them after a twenty years war, in which they had - bravely fought for each other; uniting to take- advantage of the first days of peace, to carry those benevo lent purposes into affect, which animated all Who heard him that day. He proceeded to recount the great advantages derived.to the Institution from the active exertions of the. Duke of Kent, and closed an eloquent panegyric on his Royal High ness's Conduct, by proposing his healib. The toast hatina- been drunk, the- D u k e o f Kent returned thanks. • Mr. J. P. GRANT, after an appropriate eulogy, proposed the health of the Duke of SasseX. ,The Duke of SUSSEX, in returning - ,thanks des canted at - some length on the merits and import ance of the Institution. He panegyrised the Scottish character, and expressed -high admiration tor the laud, that - had not only .produced brave warriors, but intrepid and devoted Flora Mac donalds. On " The Foteign: - Ministers," being 'drunk the whole of the Ambassadors present rose, and bowed to the Assembly the Duke of Kent re turfed thAnka for theta. " The City of London and thereof," having been drank with loud acclamations ; The LORD MAYOR returned 'thanka on behalf of the City, and took-occasion to observe, that those over whom‘ he bad the-.Honour to preside would be most anxious for the prosperity of-this Insti tution'; for he was proud to say, though in the 'course of a long war, the pressure' on them had frequently been 'great; their hearts had ever been. open to thrice bleSsetf Charity. (Applause.) 'The Duke of KENT stated. the subsariptik a arising'from -that' dinner amounted to.s343L:,Se vend additional subscriptions Were afterwards.an nOunced. Among others, it was mentioned that 100/. had been subscribed by Mr. Forbes:es in ad dition to a former subscription to the sane amount, and in addition to-1000/..put at the dis posal of the Committee, .on account.of the sums expected to be raised in -support of the Institu tion at Bombay. (Loud applause.) . Many appropriate and patriotic toasts, besides those we' have enutnetated, were drunk in the course of the evening. Music and singing, under Ithb able .superinteodance and direction , of Mr. Heather', the composer, contributed in a more -than common degree to the interest of the festival. The firSt and last verses of a favourite song, writ ten by the Ettriek Shepherd, were admirably sung by Master Millar. The Duke of YORK and the Foreign Ministers did not retire till half-past eleven. The Gallery was crowded with. Ladies of the first rank and distinction throughout the day.
