Hadjee" Mr. MINToN. EMina ' W4ife 'of Chedid Mrs. Boomer.. , • Zeinaba, wife of Elphi Miss Bowe. Sewda Mrs. Zara Miss BuoctSs. . The ontline of the Plot is thus cornmui cat et! : Osnlyn, a Turkish Pacha, having usurped the rule of Egypt, upon the death of Morad, in the absence of Elphi Bey (his I-Veir to the Throne), d e terniiiics, upon the umunr - of his (Elphi's) arrival - from England, to secure and deitroy, hint. The shill with Elphi on board appears in sight—Osmyn assembles his forms, and is joined by Chedid, a powerful. Arab Sheik, r evengefully opposed to Elphi Who had killed, 'in battle, Sheik Abdalla; the father of' his wife. Elphi's Own Wife, •Zeinaba,. a 'captive. with Chedid's tribe, escapes, and in the disguise of an Arab soldier, ac companied by h er servant, Hider, joins her husband upon his landing; keeps herself concealed from him, points • out- his danger, and inducts him to Hy. into the Desert, and , make for Upper Egypt., to al-. same the command of his Mitmelnkts. In this attempt, exhanited with fatigue, he unconsciously reaches Sheik Che did's 'tent, with remaining , strength barely sufficient to grasp' the canvass, which act, according to the Arab faith,fensure Aid and protection even to the bitterest enemy. Cliedices wife, EIIIILI3, notwithstanding her 'subsequently dismiver ing-in: him bar father's inrirderer. subduing her. private feelings, offers immediate, refreshments, briogs him . one of her , husband's facooe!te ,horses, and furnishes .an escort for his protection, ei l Abling him to evade his pursuers. Osinyn; enraged on 'finding that Elphi had thus attained - his Mameluku eneatupturat,.attaclts and defeats Chedid •on his return through the Desert, takes hint prisoner, and is about to haveltim executed. Emina flies to, and apprizes who, Maliing'it forced march, 'storms Cairo at the head of his Mainelukes, rescues Chedid, deposes OSasyn, and recovers the Sovereignty. '.lt seems that this.piepe is the Child of several Fathers; the dialogue and scenery being ascribed to• Mr, SALT, the .AbysSitrian traveller, Colonel HAM tt.TotY, and. the-scene-painters .belonging to. -theJlonse,-7-and.the',music.(st‘ch of it as is,not • transcribed or altered from MOZART). to-Messrs..

With tegarti to the ,dialogue, we are sorry to observe that-the is not sittic,,though the starlike parts, which, of worse come from the Colonel, are sufficiently terrihketoappal us, even in the mimieryof the stage. The scenery deserves praise for its able execution • and accuracy: As a representation of Eastern locality. - Tbe music is also yet y commendable ; , 1 but upon the whole. there does not appear to be.. sufficient stamina „in • Elphi Bey,, for. a three- act drama, though cut down to a two-decker it may I obtain•its hour upon the Stage.

Among the very numerous Members present at the late highly respectable assemblage of the Naval Charitable Quarterly Meeting was Mr. Rosa ; ,when that Gentleman, with bis usual philan thropy, proposed, in order - to makethe. merits of so exce ll ent a charity better known, that atsermon should be preached the ensiling month I'M.. that purpose ; and, moreover, that he himself would undertake to make all . the necessary , arrangements with one of the mostjustly popular preachers.

Let us hope that so laudable a design - mill , beitittendeil with ail the success that to noble a Charity merits.

This morning he: Visited his old friend; Lieutenant Firming, at Fivellead-house, wilete, they dined together in the most fri6lly manner, retired soon after to Mr. Fleming's bed-room, and in less than a quarter of an hour the explosion of pistols were heard, and those two old friends were immediately found lifeless. " This is a brief relation of this horrid business , I have seen the bodies, the place, &v. this'after porm„,and, after eery examination of the cir-, cumstances, have no doubt Lieut.

Captain Miller received, on the 9th init., a very pressing, letter from Lieut.
