This disorder (in the circles of Bocbnitz and Farnow) is ascribed to the great fatigues endured by the troops employed on the frontier as a cordon against the cholera, the difficulty of providing flit. their subsistence while %,o employed, the effects le!t b , hind by the cholera, the extremely low diet of the Polish peas tots, and the influence of the damp and unwholesome weather.

Extract of a letter from an officer of bigh rank at Mon tego-bay, dated 4th January, 1582 : •' Much as the absolute necessity of adopting rigorous measures towards the captured negroes is to be regretted, yet the result ha- restored confidence to the country, and, with the proclamation, been of the greatest use. The negroes are coming in all directions this afternoon, and a pmic has been struck amongst them to the greatest de free. Not a smoke is to be seen, and the country is open. A party, which was proceeding to Mamma-town, has been countermanded, as the road is open. the negroes having this morning lett, and gone towards Seven-rivers—so the informers say." • A baptist preacher, named William Boy, has been ap prehended and lodged in the gaol of this town. It ap peared that he was in custody at Morant-bay, from which Le escaped, and was secured in consequence of information from that quarter. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

It proves plainly, what we al ways contended for, that those who best under stand the Constitution, and the interests and wel fare of the country, and who are not themselves sharers in the plunder of the people, are willing to support a Reforming King and Ministry : . DUBLIN, FEB. 19. About seventy-two members of the Irish Bar (the number is an auspicious one), dined to gether yesterday at Gresham's hotel in this city, and the interpreters of the sacred word itself were not more unanimous nor better in accord ance with each other than these gentlemen ap peared to he in the understanding of the true principl es of the Constitution, and their wishes to promote the welfare of this country. The ob ject of the meeting was simply to ascertain who were the friends of liberal institutions and inde pendent principles, and that their friends might know and recognise each other as such for the future. There was no solicitation nor selection of Protestant or Catholic on the part of those who suggested this mode of commencing a good understanding between all the liberal members of the profession without religious distinction. Among those present were Serjeants len and Perrin, J. Richards, K.C., R. Farrell, K.C., Jonathan Clarke, T. Dickson, father of the Leinster Bar, 1). Pigott, and several other senior and junior members, well-known either for their independent properties and influence in the country, or for being most efficient practi tioners in their profession, it, which, and in the estimation of the public, some of them unaided by power or patronage have attained the highest rank. There was very little speechifying, and only four public toasts, which Serjeant O'Loghlen proposed in very concise and appropriate terms. The first was, " Our Constitutional Monarch, William the Fourth ;" the second, " The Mar quis of Anglesea, our good King's representa tive in this country ;" the third, " His Majesty's Ministers and Reform ;" and the fourth, " The Lord Chancellor and the Itish Bar." On pro posing this last toast, Serjeant O'Loghlen ob served, tint the time was fast approaching when Ireland would become what she had not been hitherto, but what she ought to be—fairly re presented, fairly treated, and one of the happiest countries in Europe ; and that to promote and expedite an object so desirable, he would sug gest that the gentlemen present and other liberal members of the profession should meet on Tues day next in one of the Four Courts, to discuss in detail the objects they had in view. Not one sentence more on politics was uttered after the toasts, the remainder of the evening being spent in mirth and song until twelve o'clock, at which hour the company separated. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, FEB. 1 6.—Accounts from Flushing say--" The tortifications and means of defence in and about this fortress are to he considerably increased ; heavily armed block ships stationed in the rivers are to hinder the approach to the town; we also hear that the place is to receive a numerous garrison, and be well pro ♦isioned.

FEBRUARY 21. 1832. I The late insurrection in Jamaica is a fresh proof of the urgent necessity of putting an end to the anomalous state of things which has too long existed in our West India Colonies. It is not only the present disastrous consequences of the occurrence that are to be lamented, but the almost certainty of a repetition of similar cala mities, unless the social relations in the West Indies can be placed on a footing altogether dif ferent from that on which they have hitherto been. The proximate cause of the disturbances ap pears to have been the indirect zeal, to use the mildest term, of the Baptist preachers. These Ministers of Religion seem to have considered it a part of their vocation to inflame the passions of the ignorant blacks to a degree to dispose them to the destruction of the property, and the endangerment of the lives, of the planters. The Missionaries are reported to have filled the minds of the negroes with false and exaggerated reports of the determination of the British Go vernment to emancipate them forthwith, and to have acted on that principle of the nec e ssity o f agitation which has excited so many tumults in Ireland and elsewhere. We do not quite go the length of the Jamaica Courant, in hoping " that the bodies of all the Methodist preachers convicted of sedition may diversify the hanging wocds in St. James's and Trelawney," but we cannot sufficiently deprecate the fanaticism that has stimulated these Ministers, calling themselves Christian, to the instigation of the roost abomi nable of offences against society. There is no pretence for denying the justice of the claims of the negroes to that freedom which is the indefeasible birthright of man, and of which no municipal laws can ever authorise one class of men to deprive another under any circumstances whatever. The broad principle of natural liberty is too strong and too sacred to be shaken by any of - the devices of oppression, o f however long endurance in law. Butt if the slaves have a right to their freedom, there is a duty incumbent upon them as well as up on others, to submit to moral restraint and to a sense of duty which ought to dictate to them that resistance to the laws is always criminal, and violence always abominable and wrong. If the ignorance of the slaves be such that they cannot , comprehend the force of moral restrain t, the fault becomes the graver in those who excite their] unruly passions to actions which they a r e not able thoroughly them elves to consider. The physical condition of the negroes is by no means a bad one, and their moral one depends wholly upon the state of their mental capacities. the friends of freedom, on the one hand, urge, unceasingly, upon the Legislature, the justice and wisdom of negro emancipation, they are entitled on the other hand to protest against all prema ture attempts by the blacks, and their associates, to take by storm and violence that liberty which, in the fullness of time, will be granted and secured to them by the law. The Government has instituted inquiries into the state of the colonial trade, which must result in proof that that trade has been reduced to utter ruin. It has, we fear, reached a crisis, at which recovery is next to impossible. Ex cessive duties on colonial produce, excessive charges added thereto, in the shape of commis sion and so forth, by mortgagee-consignees in England,—the carrying on the foreign slave trade to a great extent—and the successful con curl ence in the market of the almost unlimited proguce of foreign colonies—are among the causes which seem to have affected the West Indian interest with a permanent and increasing depression. The planters and the slaves are, at this moment, equally disaffected towards the British Legislature; and if to that Legislature is attributable some supineness, in allowing the evil to grow to tie bead it has reached, there is imputable to the colonists no small portion of ignorant selfishness, and to the emancipationists no trifling amount of hastiness, and sometimes even of fanaticism, in pressing their great ques tion to a premature crisis. The Paris Papers of Sunday, with the Even ing Papers of yesterday's date, h ave been re ceived. They contain no further news of the cholera being in that capital, but the Govern ment were adopting the requisite precautions to meet the evil, should it appear. Paris continued quiet. If we may credit the news respecting the interference of Spain in the affairs of Por tugal,. the Northern Powers are to back FERDI NAND. This will of course produce a collision with France and England—a circumstance not very probable in the present " good understand ing" of the respective Powers : (From the Quotidienne of Feb. 18.) LISBON, FEBRUARY 'l.—According to letters from towns on the frontiers of Spain, it appears that the local authorities, in conformity to the instructions of their Government, continue to arrest all who at tempt to throw discredit on the entrance of the Spa nish troops now in cantonments mar our frontiers.— A secret fermentation reigns in our capital, in consequence of the intelligence we receive. Don Miguel seeks to inspire his partisans with confidence by his fre quent journeys from Queluz to Lisbon. On the Ist of the month he came to the Palace of I3emposta, on the 2d he as,isted at a ceremony in the Chapel of Aguda, and on the 3d he went to the church of St. Lucia to cele brate the feast of St. liaise. He would have been at Lisbon to-day, no doubt, but for the arrival of a packet bout from En s land, with dt.spatches from M. Ribeiro Sataida, Charge d'Affaires of Don Miguel at London It is said that these despatches relate to the island of Ma deira. A Council was held on their arrival, on the break ing up of which a vessel was despatched with letters to the Governor of that island.

Etr ~~-, ~~~ SPAIN. MADRID, FEB. 9.—lt is now decided that our Govern ment will intervene with an armed force in the quarrel between Don Miguel and his brother. The Infantry Re giment the Prince's 3d of the Line, and the regiment of Volunteers of Arragon, 2d Light Horse, passed through this capital, on their way to the frontiers of Portugal. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. Spain has received an assurance that the Three Courts of the North will support her, in case France should op pose her giving aid to Don Miguel against the attack of Don Pedro. This important news is positive. The de termination of the Powers is founded on the treaty of the 24th of March, 1778, continued by that of 1801, and which was acknowledged by all the Powers without ex cepting France. (Frftm the Courrier Francais.) POST-OFFICE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN FRANCE AND ENGLAND. The unity of interests and of palitical views which now join France to England ought to render all comtnunica tions between the two countries rapid, free, and easy. The circulation of public Papers ought above all things to he favoured, as the best means of multiplying the relations between the two countries, and of increasing the activity with which they ought to he followed up. Such is net the case, however, thanks to the monopoly of the London Mist- office. In this Post-office there is a small number of clerks whose interest it is to rob the Papers which cross one another fr,.m both sides of the Channel, and to consey the substance of them to the public Papers, by a more speedy means th in the ordinary one, and. above all, fir a certain remuneration. This private scheme, which has been formed without reference to the general inteest, has prevented, and still prevents, all the improvements that have been and still are proposed, in coder to render the communications between France and En ; ,l sod more prompt anti regular. 'I he monopolists have not been satisfied with raising obstacles and with overturn mg the most beneficitl plans, they are now attempt ing to (lest: oy the little good that has been done in spite of their efforts. The London Courier announces that an agent connected with tbe Post-office of that city has had recourse to every possible measure to put down the private estafette, which has been now established at great expense on Fridays and iilondays, on which days the F.ench Gavernmeut has not established any for the cor respondence, between Paris and London. The Director of the Posts of France has ; fortunately, turned a deaf ear to all the suggestions of the party in question Re de serves much commendation for it, but our obligations to him W uld be enerea-ed were be to establish a daily e•ita. fette, excepting Sunday, on which , lay nothing is done in Lone:on. It has been denronstrat,.d that the expense of the daily eat efe•te would nut amount to ten thousand fiancee a year, and that this expense would gradually diminish as the number of c•orirminications wool increase; it has also been demonstrated th tt rommercial interests, the speculators in the Funds, the public Papers, and consequently several classes of society, will derive great advantages from such an zrrangerstent. We trust that Ministers, to whom notes on the subject have been addressed, will pay some attention to it ; but it is very probable that the satne cause which has rendered other attempts freitless,' may here again paralyse their zeal. The London Courier seems to place great reliance on the Dithe of Richmond, who is at the head of the Post-office. That Journal urges him to remunerate enure adequately the clerks of his office, and to put an end to a monopoly which is inconsistent wiih ail freedom of communicatiote beqween the two countries. We shall add another request, which is, that the French Administration of the Posts, as well as that of England, will name each a private agent, and charge them with the negociation of a treaty for the constant and reciprocal circulation of com mercial correspondence, and of the communications of the public Press. The result of such a negaciation would be far more beneficial to both France and England than the protocols of many diplomatic meetings, which are presided over by statesmen. Dutch Papers, received this morning, announce the arrival of Count OnLorF at the Hague. The . appearance of the cholera in London was greatly magnified : fifty persons were said to have been attacked at once--a number to which the disease has not reached, alter ten days The last arrival from New York brings intel ligence of the rejection by the Senate of the Pre sidential nomination of Mr. VAN BUREN to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary of the United States at this Court. The Senate being ecually divided, the VrcE-PREsi• DENT determined the question in the negative. This, we believe, i 23 the first instance in which a President of the United States has been denied the privilege of employing, in his negotiation s abroad, an agent in whom he was disposed to confide. Public meetings were about being held on the subject. We direct attention to an article which will be found in another part of The Sun, entitled " Reasons for a Legislative measure, to limit and regulate the hours during which young per- sons may be employed to labour in flax spin ning-mills throughout Scotland." The article iii question is a convincing one; it is drawn up with great temper and discretion, and makes out a clear case of wrong and grievance with which Government cannot too promptly or energetically interfere. The grievances, however, which this conclusive article exposes, are not confined to Scotland ; they pervade, in a greater or less degree, all the commercial dis tricts of England, more particularly the cotton and other factories in the north, where the chil dren of the lower classes of operatives are exposed to the greatest hardships, and seem, in fact, to make but one step from their mothers' arms to the cotton factory. Dismissing all the minutia, all the technicalities, all the commercial pros and cons of this question, we take it up on the broad principle of humanity, and so regarding it, we say that if there ever was a case which called for the imperative interference of the Legislature, the present is that one. It is idle to rave and cant about the suffer ings of our black slaves abroad, while we suffer our white slaves at home to linger on from youth to age--if the majority ever reach age, which we doubt—unnoticed, unfriended, unpi tied, in the pandemonium of a hot, crowded factory. Imagine a girl of tenderest years and infirm constitution labouring from day-break to sunset in one of these pestilential manu factories, without change, without allevia- don, we may almost add, without hope, exposed hourly to the contamination of so ciety which if not absolutely depraved, is yet, in nine out of ten cases, not many degrees re moved from it ! What can be expected from an infant thus situated? What physical health, what principles of morality ? If she ever be- come a wife and a mother, what fitting education can she bestow on her children—she who has learned all her notions of morality and pro priety, from a long, melancholy intercourse with the motley society of a mill or factory ? We will not enlarge further on this prolific sub ject, but content ourselves for the present, with the expression of a wish that Mr. SADLER Will not safer it to drop ; but follow it up with the same zeal and ability with which be has com menced it. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY , CLIME V. EINNERSLET. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he w instructed to move in this case for an injunction and a receiver. He had ascertained the motion was not to be oppsed, and therefore he was entitled to take the order. Injunction and receiver ordered. I'ULLYN V. BRITTON. Mr. Parts stated that in this case, which was argued some considerable time ago, a question arose upon the regularity of the proceeding, and upon which judgment had b een weitpiined. The question had not yet been disposed of, but one of the solicitors was proceeding to tax the costs, and the object of the present application was to have the taxation stayed until judgment had been given. Order to stay taxation made. CHESTER. P. PLATT. Mr. KINDERLEY said the question here was whether the master hail not taxed costs too high as between solicitor and client. It was to come before the Court in the usual way, upon a petition for leave to except to the Master's report. The Master of the Rolls had disallowed the peti tion, and it stood as an appeal to he heard before his Lord ship. The present application was that no steps might he allowed to be taken (the solicitor being in a situation to tak e out process for want of payment) until after the ap peal petition could he heard --Proceedings stayed. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY., THE EARL OF SHREWSBURY V. COTTINGHANI. His Honour the VICK CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which it will he recolleeted was an ap plication on behalf of the Earl of Shrewsbury, for an injunction to restrain the defendants from working mines under the estuary of the river Dee, by means of a shaft upon their own land, the Noble plaintiff el timing to he entitled to the Royalty of those mines. His Honour had read the 'else entered into between the parties ; and after doing so, he did not feel himself called upon to give the relict a.ked, but he would direct a case to the Court of King's Bench to try whether, under the terms of that lease, the defendant had a right to work the mines in the way he had done.

Two children, neither of them exceeding eleven years of age, named Lee and Lewis, were indicted for stealing a shoulder of mutton from out of tile shop of a butcher named Mundy. Several witnesses swore to having seen the prisoner Lee get upon the shoulders of his companion, and tike the mutton fri,m a hook from which it was sus pended at the door -post for sale, and inst intly ran away. It came out in the course of the evidence that the families of the prisoners were enduring the most urgent distress, and had been Jiving in the district of Bethnal-green, where so much wretchedness and disease has so long prevailed. They were, however, chargeable to the parish of St. Luke, Old-street, of which place the parent, were paupers. The father of one of them had died in the workhouse only two d a ys before the robh. ry.

A gang of armed bushrangers, who had broken out of one of the county gaol'. and commitp-d acts of great violence, has been secured by the mounted police, aided by the native blacks. SWAN RIVXA.-Extract of a letter from Lieutenant ' Governor Stirling, dated Perth, July 25 :—" Since you were here we have made very fair progress, and I doutit not we shall get through our undertaking with success. Don't believe a particle about our distress, there is nu such a thing, except amongst the idle. We expect U. feed half our members from our own wheat this year, and the whole of them the season following, and we now want '1 labourers." The estafette from Paris has arrived, but it does not bring any political news of importance. The chiet object of attention in the above capital, as well as in our own, relates to the preparations making to face the cholera morbus ; but we hope that ure long they will not be re quired, for up to the present time we have no great cause of alarm, and, indeed, it is thought nothing at all of to the city. TH 13 Fr NDC. Consols remain steady at the price at which they left off yesterday, 82 for the account; but there is little cr nothing doing at present. according to all accounts both the Dutch and Belgians are on the qui vire, each party watching the other's move ments, and both afraid to strike the first blow, fear ing that France and England might interfere ; but tli. state of things, we are well persuaded, will not continue long, for we are looking daily to the differences being ad justed. HALF-PAST ONE. We have this moment received Carlton Papers at the North and South American Cuiree.house, to the 16th of October. (Front the Canton Papers.) " Macao.—We understand that in consequence of a representation from the Select Committee on the subj ee to interdict the residence of foreigners at Macao, it has been warmly taken up by the Supreme Government, and that a remonstrance has been addressed by Lord William Ben dock to the Governor-General of the Portuguese possessions in Asia, protesting in the strongest terms against the assumpt.on of such a right in regard to British subjects. The reply of the Portuguese Governor to an application frors a British .übject, directs that permission to reside he granted to al foreigners without exception, so lung as his most faith ful Majesty shall issue no orders to the contrary." At Calton, on the morning of the 23d ult., a northerly gale sprung np, which lasted twenty-four hours, and the tide rose to a great height, and overflowed the hanks of the river, which did great damage to the foreign factories. There is a general report of the death of the Emperor Taswkevany on the 11th of August. In the early psrt of the morning Consols continued steady at ts 24 for the account ; since which they have resumed a little animation, and have been done at 821 f l for the account, owing to its being ascertained that fa vourable despatches were received yesterday both from Austria and Prussia, in regald to the affairs of Holland; also, that on the arrival of the Russian envoy at the Hague it was expected things would take a favourable turn with his Majesty. Great alara► prevails throughout Holland in regsrd to the cholera in England, and fear is entertained that it will atop the commerce with El:ll.nd. THREE O' CL ck - Cowls 82k SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

(OMITTED YESTF.RDAT RF YIISTAKEO ROSSINI'S Othello was performed at this theatre on Saturday night, for the purpose of introducing Madame LA CONTF:S9A LAztSE, in the character of the heroin e Les dimona. This lady who, we understand, on this occasian, made her first appearance on any stage, was received on er entrance situ great applause, and was indeed fivour. ably listened to throughout. But it is not to be denied or conceale I, that she possesses few qualities requisite foe prima donna ; her voice is nit ;ranting in sweetness or flexibility, but it is occasionally thin and wiry, and nit of sufficient power to fill a house like the King's theatre. in the third act, which is a peculiarly trying one, she failed, at least in comparison with her c.-lebrated predecessors, PASTA, SoNTAO, and MALIBRAN, in that character. The subordinate part of Emilia was well performed by Signnra ALBERTINI, who, in such performances, will, no doubt, prove an acquteiti -n to the theatre. WINTER was il , e Othello of the evening, end went through his p ire wilt infinite spirit an-I propriety. The house was well at. tended, and late in the evening much crowded. DRURY-LANE THEATRE, A translation or an adaptetion, or whakever other name it may he called, of MAYEMZELR's Opera, Robert le Diable was last night brought out at this theatre, tinder the title of the Damon ; or, the Mystic Branch. The original opera has created an extraordinary sensation at Peril, greater even than Der Frieschutz, where it had the advantage of TAGLIONI'S first-rate dancing, and the choicest musical abilities. The piece as played here, opens with an assemblage of knights in eight of Palermo, whi ther they are led by the hope of distinguishin g thems. Ives in the tournament held by the king of Sicily, in which he victor is to Ise rewarded with the hand of the Princeee. Robert Duke of Normandy (Mr. Woon) is among the knights ; he has seen and inspired the Princess with a passion for him, in which he has been aaled by Bertram (Mr. PHILLIPS, his diernon-father. Reimbant (Mr. TE3it'LLTON), a Norman Minstrel, arrives, accompanied by Alice (Mrs. 'Woof)), Robert's foster-sister, who has been commissioned by his neither. her death heti, t, caution him against the evil attempts of the fiend. The mit. etrel being commanded to give a proof of his art, canton s 1 a ballad in which the story of the Duke's supernta coral origin is told. This provokes the anger of ti e Duke, from which the minstrel is saved by the it t position of Alice, whom Robert commission s to rear a letter from him to the Prince:is. At Bertr am ', i nst i gae riots Robert then challenges the Sitiiiian Knights to play. The dice are brought. Robert loses all, even to hie horse and arms, and then repairs to the Princess. Ab ee bus already insured him a gracious reception ; the Princess Isabella frankly confesses her love for him, and encourages him to encounter his rival, the Prince of Granada, whom her father favours. Here again Bertram's Luis_ chi vous agency is exerted. He conjures up aph stitoin in the likeness of the Prince of Granada, who &Bea Robert to mortal com b at instead of the mock fight of the tournament, and invites him to follow to the :crest. Robert accepts the chall. nge, is led by the sprieht to a thick woad, where it vanishes, and tie scene, suddenly opening. displays the lists in which Robert sees his real I rival triumphant. This scene is very effective, and is one of the happiest hate of the whole representation. In the second act Bertram corruuta Alice's lover, Rlimbaut, a whi 1 e ch h o e ni i waitin g o ntosr, h..descendsßobert,s a nd be c i a ' v 'g er t n to l►ythen sumniuned structions from the Prince of Darkness. The ma nagement of the light in this *tittle is elate edit/L.ly skilful, and the scene itself beautitully painted. Alice enters soon afterwards, and nut finding her lover, looks into the cavern, where she sees enough to frighten tier, and as Bertram returns, she takes refuge at the loot of a cross. .Robert enters in despair at his rival's triumeh, and, notwithstanding the remonstrances of Alice, who seeNthe cloven foot of Bertram Hoist di rectal, listens to his proposition that he shall repaie to the ruined cemetery of the Aithey of Saint Resal e , where he may posses- him self of the mystic branch in the hand of the Saint, with which I/treatise, promises him he may obtain his mis trees's hand, and be revenged upon his rival. A thick finr covers the scene, and upon its being rernovei, the cemetery is discovered by moonlight, filled with the nimble tombs of the departed nuns. This scene, which is copied Hann that in the opera at Paris, is admirably painted, and the light so introduced, that tee effect is equal to any thing of the kind, as a mere scenic representation. that has ever Leen txhiitited here. By the spells of _Bertram the dead nuns quit their tombs anti become slowly reanimated. With their returning lite their passions and te, Hugs revive, and on the entrance af Robert they atzempt, by their blandishments, to lure him into the commissimi ot unpar donable sins. At length he seir,e the branch, tit, se nuns are discamtitted, lie departs, and they console thetnselves with a dance, until the spoeararice of a grim 'pears., representing Death, remands them to their tombs, In the third act Robert tries the ,fleet of his magic butt .h upon the Prince-are cams ht r attendants into a trance, and might bear off Isabella, but his heart fail, ;he re nouncts the, aid of magic, breaks his branch, the s ell loses its hold, and for his pains he is meizen y th e guards. He escapes and flies to a sanctuary. Bertram oissuroies him from entering the church ; urges loin to contract for the sale of his soul to the evil one, and produce a sued written, as ruin a deed shuul i be, u e tin black parchment with red letters. Rabe-et he , itare, _Bertram, to confirm his wavering resolution s avows him-elf to be his father and a fiend, and Robert, unable to resist taus appeal to his filial affection, is about to comply. when Alice ewers and reads him a disuse from his another's wag, vrhich iu,el)ll the balance oi his thoughts in favour of his own soul ; and he is conrritieti by the itrelligetice she lozenge hits that his rival, thi s -Vince of Granada, cannot enter the church, aria that Isabella is waiting there to be 'named. All this occupies so much time, that Bertram, has out-stayed his hour, and the demons come to retch him. He is borne away in fitment, while the scene open ing discovers the'ehurch, with the bride and her cariege waiting far a husband, in which character Robert is received. The opera was remarkably well played, and the scenery on the whole remarkable for its grandeur and magatifi cence. Mr. PRILLIPS, as the Deemn. , , produced tali 1, usual effect, and Mrs. 'Wren) exerted herself with mere than usual energy. Miss FANNY" AYTON sung aweetly, but not in time, a defect which we trust she will remetti. With regard to the music, though it certainly deaeleest praise, yet as certainly it is not Mayerbeer'e. It lacks th e dramatic, skill of the original, and is too much a ;h rig of a .terle and patches, reminding us at one moment " as with a difference"of Weiser, and the next et Spolir anil Ho s hi. The Demon chorus was, however, highly ffective, acid both Mrs. WOOD soil PHILLUS took care that s vt•ry air entrusted to them should Nil with the audience. The chief defects of the piece ar , first, its heavine-s, secondly, the bad taste of, *letting a pare- I of dead nuns capering about an Abbey like so many dancing opera girls. In Parts this defect was more endurabl e , because the dancing there was. exquisite,—h e r e it is rely so-so, and only has the effect of producing laughter. However, the opera is a clever tate. and so far as seeing is concerned, sup, rb in tt e extreme, and was received with flip approbation by the most crowded audience we have seen this season.
