_TH,E ..TII.EAT.RES. TUEARa.—The Opera of Semiramide sits represented last night at this Theatre for the benefit of GAnciA. This Operit , was per formed at.the.Pantheon, after the fire which de stroyed the Haymarket 'old Opera House, and the yet unrivalled MAMA was the heroine of the piece, • It, was last night brought forward with new , Music by ROSSIN . 4 and certainly with more effective music than on *the former occasion.— The story, of Semiramide is well known, and the English tragedy 'of Semiramis, written 113 , Captain AYScoljaii, nephew of the first Lord Lirmicros, had, the advantage of a beau tiful Epilogue from the late Mr. SHERIDAN, an Epilogue that will most probably never be equal led: It is only necessary to add, that the Opera lit night had the powerful support of GARCIA, Madames PASTA, VEsTRis, and the other vocal performers'. The audience were altogether so delighted, that they called for the chief per formers and the composer, who came forward iknd received the universal tribute of reiterated ipplause. Dituity-LANE.—The popular Comedy of The Belle's Stratagem was last night represented at this Theatre. Mr. ELLISTON'S Doricourt has alivays been successful, and it was not less so on this occasion: Misa L. PATom, the-sister of the admired vocal performer, appeared in the part of Letitia Hardy. She peiSersies. an agreeable face and person, and acquitted herself with more ease and spirit than could be expected from so ju venile an actress. She gave the " Milking song" with rustic humour, and participated in the Minuet de la Cour with unaffected grace. She Was well received and encored in the song.— After the second act of the Comedy, Mr. EL LIMIT addressed the audience in the following manner : " Ladies and Gentlemen—l appear before you to make an apology for Madame Catalatii.—(A tumult of disapprobation.) Ladies and Gentlemen, Madame Catahini is hert—(applause); and, though seriously indisposed, comes to sing before you.— (flravo.)—llly apology is only for what Madame Catalani fears will be the imperfect execution of her songs.—(Applause.) — Ladies and Gentlemen, if you knew the anxiety she has evinced on this occasion ' you would be delighted.—( Bravo.)—She feels deeply i n d e b te d to.you, for the warm, I will say enthusiastic, Support she has received at this theatre, and she requests me to state that.she will do her best this evening.—(Applause.)—As some of the music advertised is too difficult for her to execute on this occasion, she hopes the songs which have been substi. tuted will b e re c e i ve d with that in dulgence - which ever charac terises a British audience."—Bravo.) The fair Syren was then handed forward. She sung two Italian songs, and " Cease your fun thing," with little less than her usual skill, but evidently under such indisposition as would have justified her in declining to appear altogether. A y MAR/CET T EAT a E.—. She Stoops to Con quer was the leading piece at this Theatre last night. It was followed by the whimsical sketch of Mrs. Smith, and Simpson and Co. closed the entertainments. An apology was made for the non-appearance of Miss CHESTER, on account of her performance at Covent-garden Theatre, and the continuance of her indisposition, and her place was supplied by Mrs. T. Ilmr. with creditable feeling and spirit. _ - - - ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—After the Maid and Magpie, in which the acting of Miss KELLY, in 41nnetie, went home to the hearts of all present, the terrific Romance of Presumption, or the Fate of Frankenstein, operated as usual on the feelings of the audience. The following satisfactory letter was this morning, says the Glasgow Herald of Monday last, received here : " Admiralty Office, July 9. " Stn—Having laid before the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty your letter, enclosing an extract of a letter from Mr. HYUE, of Honduras, respecting the pirates who infest that coast, I am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you that they have had a comMunication from the Commander-in- Chief of the West India Station, dated a month later than that which you enclosed, and that the Admiral had already taken measures to put down this attempt to renew piratical proceed ings in that quarter. I sun, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant, " J. W. CROKER. " To JAMT.S EWING, Esq. Chairman of the West India Association, Glasgow."

Here we have very frequent rains, which have already done much injury to the hay. A letter from Benevento of the 13th of June states, that the police, having long watched the motions of a band of four robbers, the chief of whom had al ready been condemned to death in the kingdom of Naples, succeeded, on the 6th of this month, in surprising them in a wood. They fought des perately for three hours; the chief and another were killed, another was mortally wounded and made prisoner; the fourth was likewise wound ed, but escaped by favour of the night. A defaulter was yesterday declared in the Money Market. It is understood that his failure Is to a very large amount, and that it will involve many persons in severe losses.

On this information being received here some days ago, the Magistrates fitted out a vessel, and sent her to that coast,, for these cul prits preparatory to their being sent to Jamaica for trial, and which, I trust, may be the means of checking these robberic and murders in future; • _ • POETRY FOR THE SUN.

By command of the Lieutenant-General, (Signed) • J. GARDENER, D.A.G. SINGULAR PLAN FOR DEFEATING TILE TURKS. Some days since a letter arrived at the Mansion house from Prussia, directed to be opened " by the high hands of the Lord Mayor." It proved to be a communication of a plan to be sub mitted to the friends of the Greek cause for the defeat of the Turks. The writer is a Mr. Hinderson, a Commissary of Police, of the town of Posen. To *hew that he was a person worthy of attention, he inclosed an official certificate of his rank and re spectability. He states that he bats now left 77 years behind him ; that he has seen great service by sea and by land ; that during the war with the French he devoted a large fortune to the service 01116 country and lost it; and that it is only the wounds heacceived during the war which now prevent hiin from setting off and using his experience and personal service in aid of the Greeks. He states that he has hopes of his wounds com pletely healing, and if that should, happen, he will yet join them ; but he expresses his desire, if be should be prevented, to communicate what he considers would be serviceable to the cause which he has so much at heart. He states that he has served against the 'lurks, and is well acquainted with their mode of warfare. Their great strength, he says, consists in cavalry, and be declares that artillery is of comparatively little service against them. They are generally incited on to the charge by using opium; although m that condition their onset is desperate, yet he says they may be thrown into confusion by the slightest ctr comstance ; and, when confused, the opium-eaters cannot easily be re-organised, but may be cut up by European discipline. Ile declares that he has invented an expedient which is admirably calculated for confusing them. His plan is to make up cart ridges of sand in a peculiar manner. These cartridges are to be pot into the piece above the bullet, and to he tired with it in the usual manner. He states that from hie illness he bee been unable to make full experiments as to the distance which mend may be driven by this means, whether in small firma or artillery, but he is confident it is considerable, and that in close conflict the effect would be certain in blinding and confusing the enemy. Ile proposes, therefore, that these cartridges shall upon occa sions be used by the Greeks in addition to the ordinary charge, and he is sure that against all cavalry it must be most success ful. lie also suggests to those in this country who have ;tub scribO in aid of the Greeks, and are engaged in furnishing them with supplies, that cartridges of iron filings would be useful for firing at long distances. He also recommends to their notice another expedient, which he says he adopted himself during the war, and found extremely serviceable to allay thirst. On long marches the soldiers often antlered severely front a perpetual thirst and a '.dry tongue; He says that a thin piece of fresh willow twig," or of the wood of any bitter tree, should be kept in the mouth over the tongue, and opened. It will, lie says, keep the mouth moist, and prevent those unpleasant sensa tions Which are often created by a long and rapid march. He declares that the same simple means will answer with the horses of an army, by tying pieces of such wood on their bite The letter concluded by souse reflections on the domes tic afflictions of the writer, who complains that death has taken from him his wife and all his off'spring, several hopeful young men; and his mind, from the tenor of the letter, Ap pears evidently to be deeply affected by these calamities. Ile had just heard of the death of hoed Byron, and laments the loss which the cause has sustained by that circumstance. The Loan MAYOR read the letter in the Justice Itoom to some gentlemen who were present when he received it. He expressed his respect for the motives of the worthy veteran, and his sympathy with his misfortunes; but it was rather doubtful whether sand could stop a Turkish charge. The lightest hints, however, were often with men of science productive of the most important consequences, and the suggestion might not be un worthy of notice. His Lordship observed, that the transactions in that roots it appeared were often mad e k nown to the most remote parts of the globe, and his correspondence from the Con tinent was extensive as well as expensive. The most extraor dinary ideas seemed to be entertained of the extent of the power and influence of the Chief Magistrate. One person in Prance wrote to him desiring hit he would secure and send back a run-a-way relative, presuming as a matter of course that he must know every individual in the Metropolis. Another wrote to him from Italy praying him to be so kind as to secure, in carcerate, and punish a vagabond son ; whilst from all parts he received letters of hquiries respecting private atlitirs. A gentleman present observed, with respect to the plan sub mitted to his Lordship , that the idea of m a ki n g us e of dust to ; was by no meting new, and that during the r i ce ps used lime dust on b oar d that ships of lcasontf war use thean enemy,‘ni war for the purpose of disconcerting those who attempted to board. • Tile LORD MAYOR said the act of throwing dust into people's eyes had been but too well known, and too successfully practised here. Ilisshould dispose of the letter in a manner to gratify the writer's mind. At the Middlesex Sessions yesterday, the ap peal of the London Dock Company v. St. John Wapping, was heard ; and the former rate of 10,0001. (which the parish had raised to 15,0001.) was confirmed. DOMESTIC CARPETING.—Mr. MCFARLAND, late Editor of the Harrisburgh Paper, Commonwealth, gave the following toast at a late entertainment at Carlisle :—." May the skins of the enemies of Jackson be converted into carpeting for his friends to dance upon."—( New York Paper.) CuAaLcrrox, JUNE 9.—Arrived the Chace, Anderson, from Havannah, in four clays. In lat. 98. long. 70. was hoarded by the General Santander, Colombian armed schooner, Captain Chace, which put on board 22 prisoners, the crews of three Spanish brigs that sailed from Havannah for Europe on the 10th ult. The General Santander and her prises bore away for La- Gusynt. DISTRESS IN IRELAND.—On Saturday week, there were no less than 1200 names on the town books of Arklow, as fit objects for relief.
