ENGLISH OPERA HousE.—The new Opera of Broken Promises increases in public favour as it deserves, on account of its intrinsic merit, and the general merit of the acting. It was last night attended by a crowded auditory. The second . piece was The Castle of Andalusia, reduced into two acts, why we know not, as it was always popular, and as there are performers'enough of both sexes to give it strong effect. The novelty of the night was the first appearance in London of Mr. DENMAN, who performed the part of Don Ccesar. He is tVhat is styled a spare man in per-. son, and consequently has not the formidable substance which mai be e xp ecte d i n a C a p ta i n o f Banditti. His voice is hardly powerful enough for the songs connected with the character, but he sings in tune. His action is rather redundant. but that, iii general, is the fault of provincial performers. He was altogether well received, and had encores. The rest of the characters were altogether well supported by. Miss NOEL, Miss GOWARD, KEELEY, CHAPMAN, TAYLEURE, but particularly Miss KELLY, in Lordnza. The Duke of WELLINGTON, with the Countess of JERSEY and Lord FITZROY SOMERSET. was in one of the side-boxes, and, in addition to time amusement which the stage afforded them, they wvre obvi ously very entertaining to each other. The Haymarket Theatre, it seems., is preparing to bring forward a new Comedy from Mr. POOLE, and another from Mr.• LUNY, the Autho'r of Family Jars and of Fish Out of Water. Of course they will both avail themselves of Lis- TON'S peculiar talents, and as both have hitherto been successful Writers, the Public have reason to expect Much dramatic amusement. Mr. C. KEMBLE, it seems, is on the eve of de partingfor Germany, to forage for dramatic and musical novelties, since the German Muse has become so attractive in this country. Mrs. STEPItri KESIBLE, SO much admired as an actress on the London boards rnany-• years ago,, has, it seems, resumed the management of the Provincial .Theatres bequeathed to her by her late respectaiile husband, as they had been un suecessfully conducted by those to whom they had been committed. Mrs. ORGER, one of the chief comic props of Drury-Lane Theatre, after, its season closed, was engaged to perform at Brighton, where she ap peared on Monday last as Lady Caroline, in the comody of John Bull, and on Tuesday as Madge, in Love in a Village. This actress has an ad vantage over most of her competitors in a good education, as well as a vupe'rior understanding. But then it is to he observed that she is united to a Gentleman of great learning and literary talents. A, Mr. KEAN's attraction seems to be upon -the wane, • according to Provincial Reports, it would be wise in him to reflect upon the fleeting nature ptipular, favour, and . to " wake hay while the sun shines." The extraordinary suc cess which has hitherto attended him may be classed among the wonders of Theatrical History. Ounr.lN THEATItE.—In the course of Saturday evening a great number of gooseberries were thrown on the stage, and towards the latter part of the evening it was found necessary to have the stage swept. We have frequently spoke in terms of reprobation of the practice of throwing any thing on the stage. During the past week, Mr. St. Clair, while dancing, 'received a severe fall, which, we suppose, was occasioned by somethin g h av i ng .been thrown on the stage which e,aus:Al him to slip. Much as we deprecate the practice, we should not, perhaps, speak at such length on the subject, on the present occasion, but that on Saturday craning some substance of a hard and heavy nature was tl:.r iwn on the stage whilst Miss Foote and Mr. Williams were on it. We .believe it was a copper penny ; hailit struck either of the performers,' it must have inflicted a serious injury. We did expect that the Manager would have immediately c)me for ward, and offered a reward for th , z discovery of the perpetrator of such an unmanly outrage.—(Freeman's Journal.) Gibraltar Papery to the 7th 'instant, have nr. rived,—The Lieutenant-Governor, General DON, appeared to be using every precaution to ensure the health of the inhabitants during the hot sea son, and medical attendants had been appointed to the different stations. The encampments on the neutral ground had also been enforced, and from this prudent conduct it was expected the . hualth of the place would be preserved. SmyttNA, JUNE 17.-111 the night of the 7th inst., at a quarter before twelve, a shock of an earthquake was felt at Smyrna; its duration was about three seconds ; it did no damage ; we had not felt. .any for a long period. We are again afflicted this year with the plague of locusts— they cover our fields in countless swarms. On the 11. th, at noon, they were observed at Bout-- nabat to obscure the splendour of the sun. The Morning Chronicle is very indignant against freedom of thought, .9 and very severe on the follies which people think. His arguments must be allowed some weight, for he thinks himself wise, and he thinks cruelty to animals highly necessary and useful. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing•street, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Westmorland, Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, Earl Bathurst, the Duke of Wellington, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Melville, Mr. Wynn, and Lord Bexley. The Cabinet continued in close deliberation till a quarter past five o'clock. Yesterday Mr. MoutEn. transacted business at the Foreign Office. The Duke of TARENTUM arrived at Brighton on Monday, and left next day for France. As he could not stay to please the inhabitants by spending money among them, he (lid die next best t hi ng by praising their town, which be said was La villc la plus thugnffique d'Angleterre." The A TTORNEY-G ENERA L has given his opi nion, " that if any person wantonly maim any animal, either by setting savag e dogs at it or otherwise, he is liable to seven years' transport ation." --- VON WEBEIt.-Messrs. HAW and WELSH have had a very beautiful and expensive silver vase prepared as a present to this great German musician, as a testimony of respect for his talents, as well as a return of gratitude for the a l most unprecedented success which has attended their sale of his Freischutz.

THE KING, &c. Wiitpsou, JCLY 28.—Yesterday afternoon his MAJEsTr left the Royal Lodge,in his pony phaeton much later than usual, and proceeded through the newly formed rides and: plantations for Virginia Water. After enjoying himself for upwards of two hours on the lake he landed and dined in the principal marquee, which is pitched in a very shady situation on the margin of the water. After dinner. the King and suite again embarked in the pleasure boat, where they remained until half after nine, and then returned to the Royal Lor!ge.—His Majesty is expected to visit Virginia Water again this day.—This afternoon her [loyal Highness the.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The declared intention of sir "WALTER to visit the sublime and beautiful scenery of the Lakes of Killarney, has (we are informed by a private letter) put the Gentry of that neighbourhood upon the qui vive, and in con sequence, preparations are making on a grand scale to heighten the natural advantnges of that splendid scenery during the stay of the distin guished visitor. Several stag hunts will take place, the interesting particulars usually atten dant upon which we shall not anticipate ; but if the expectations which have been formed be realized, the forthcoming stag hunts of Killarney promi3e far to exceen even the picture of the same sport drawn by the Great Unknown in hi charming novel. Waver/iv. Yesterday morning a person calling himself the Captain of a ship trading to India, went into the shop of Ille,srs. VINE a and Co., watchmakers, Royal Exchange, under pretence of purchasing some watches, several were accordingly shewn to him, one of which he agreed to take; but while Messrs. Vizier and Co.'s Assistant was in the act of reaching others from the window for hii inspection, he contrived to pur loin two valuable watches, (one a gold repeater, striking the hours, quarters, and minutes, with gold dial and chronometer balance, the other a Lady's gold horizontal watch, made to wind up without a key, N 0.2055, both engraven Viner and Co. on the movements;) and pretending to see a friend pass the door at that instant, made off with them ; he was instantly pursued, but without effect. lie is abc-it five feet three or four inches high, dirk complexion, blacl; eyes, and of g:;nteel exterior. COACH ACCIDENT.---00 Tuesday a Worthing coach broke down at Kingsfold, a few miles from Horsham.— The coach was heavily laden, and several of the passengers were much injured ; one lady was conveyed to Horsham, and yesterday. was in co dangerous a state that there was but little hope of her recovery. A gentleman had his collar-hone broken, and several others were more or less injured. Messrs. J. Eames and Co.'s coach came up soon after the accident, and the coachman (Glasse) rendered every assistance in his power to the passengers, and conveyed some of them to ur sham, where they received every possible attention, and me dical assistance. The coach that broke down,. we understand, is not a regular stage, but (.ne that has been used for the dis play of four-in-nand science, and that the immediate cause of the accident ws the breaking ofone of the axle -trees.

DESTRUCTION of the ASSEMBLY ROOMS r.nd the DRESSING and BETTING ROOMS of LORD'S CRICKET GROUND. This far-famed arena of cricketers was this morning, about one o'clock, discovered to be en veloped in flames by one of the watchmen on the road, who immediately gave the alarm to the re ' tired inmates of St. John's Wood of their danger, In less than half an hour the whole fabric was composed of one body of fire, and the by-standets, who had got into the extensive play.ground where thousands have •changed hands, had only the melancholy gratification of witnessing the awful and destructive power of the•devouring element, unable to render the least assistance, not only from the want of water, but from the absence of any power to convey it with effect on the burning premises. By half-paSt two o'clock not less than thirty engines were on the spot,and nothing further need be said in proof of the alarm spread, than to state, that 'the 'bridges,. were crowded with spectators, and hundreds of persons seen, though late as the hour was, hastening to the supposed spot, namely illooms burp.square or its neighbourhood, The fresh breeze, however, carried the flakes of fire so high, that even the engineers were misled, for many made their way to Maida-hill, some to Harrow, and as late: as half-past thrte o'clock engines were coming in from Edge ware. By' five O'clock the fire had actually burned itself out, and of three elegant rooms, &c. nothing remained but a heap of smoking ashes.—A grand match was to have been played this day in the ground, which of course must' be off. - The Westminster and the Guardian Offices are the losers on the occasion. flow the fire happened carmotbe ac counted for, but no doubt exjsts that it was purely from accident. DOnnnF.IIT, JULY 2g. , --The day befz,re r's terday the largest and finest part of the populous and opulent village of Gravendeel was laid waste by - ft destructive fire. It broke out at half-past two in the afternoon in the house of a 'baker, and soon spread to several streets. Unfortunately, the inner harbour had been drained to cleanse, so that a high wind prevailing at the time, and no water to be had, on account of the drought, it was impossible at the beginning to do any thing to check its progress. In the short space of two hours nearly 100 houses, of %r hick the greater part were not insured, were laid in ashes, an I above 800 persons left without a home. Of som, streets only a few houses remain, that were to windward : the scene of desolation that it presents is most afflicting. Every exertion was made to stop the progress of the flames ; and the following day the Government of South Holland, an,: Count Col lot d'Escury, Member of the States, with the Secretary, repaired to the spot to take such prelimi nary measures as may tend to establish order; and to alleviate the misfortune. It appears that happily .no lives. were lost, but some persons were mon• or less burnt. The cause of the fire is unknown. Yesterday morning, between nine and ten, .oi4- other fire broke out at Puttershoek, whic4..4- stroyed a house rrid_ barn, the, owner of which was absent assisting at Oraveneleel. THE MARKETS.

A young gentleman named Johnson said nn Monday he was going out for the purpose or fishing, and he saw the woman sitting by the side of one of the popfle with her head almost bent between her knees. She appeared to he in 'a very desponding condition. On returning. home hd saW the* womiii in the water calling for assistance; he endeavoured to save her, hut she sunk and was rot ti.ken out.until She - Wa•i" quiti V&A:2. After this evidence had been laid before the Jury, aletter was read by the Foreman which the Coronar had received froth !Ur Bodkin, of the Illendieity Society. It stated that abo'4t two ' months since he was fortunate enough tb 'save a . woman from drowning, in the New River, near Islington, between 11;and 12 o'clock at night. She was taken care of for the ;night, and the following morning brought before the Magiatratesat ton-garden, and she proved to be the wife of a man who lived in Leather-lane. She had several - children, particularly twin infants whom she was then suckling, and ,it appeared site attempted to commit suicide under the.mflUence 'or lienat; she left home. Having occasion to beat Ilamp e teadiearly op Wed.. nesday morning, Al r. Bodkin . heard that a womanbal been found drowned in one of the ponds on the Heath, and, by a remark. able coincidence, the gentleman at whose house Mr. Bodkin was, assisted in dragging the pond. By his description ; 'NT. Bodkin was at once satisfied she was the same pcison whose lifs he had before preserved, and upon examining the 'body' he found it to be so. He then went on to state, thatthe sent to London and informed her husband and friends of the circum stance, when the husband expressed himself to be very sorry that the gentleman had taken his wife out of the river. B. apologised for not attending the inquest, ashe yvasvompelled to attend on business in Bedfordshire :—The Beadleinformed the Jury, that as Mr. Bodkin undertook to apPriZe' the woman's friends of her death, and which he felt convinced he had done, he expected the husband•would have claimed the body. lie was, however, mistaken, for up to that time he had seen none of her friends, and he was a f ra id h e should he obliged to bury the body the following. day; in consequenee of the into lerable heat of the weather. The Jury observed, that ft would be advisable to adjourn the Inquest, and summon the husband before them, when he might explain his singular and unfeeling conduct.—The Conowxie said, that the twsband, if hewer: calltd, would be only able to speak to the woman's insanity, and he thought that no person who was in her senses Would ever make such repeated attempts to deprive herself of exietenee, certainly considered the husband had acted in a very un feeling manlier, but he could not see the utility of having Min summoned before the Jury—The Jury, after having taken view of the body, returned the follewing verdict;__" That the deceased drowned herself, and was, at the time, supposed to he in a state of Temporary Derangement." So great is the drought, and the consegneot deficiency of water, that even the Life Goardc, at Hyde Park Barracks, were yesterday 'morn ing obliged to fetch their water from the Serpens 'tine Rivcr. •
