NEW ROYALTY.

A aught two-act farce of foreign mould, called in
the bills a " piece of Diablevie,* by Mr. John Brougham,
was produced at this little bode last night with
perfect success, under the title of The Demon Lover. The
dory has a German colouring, and reminds us somewhat
el one of t iffenbach's Parisian operettas with the music
let out. There is nothing very original or striking in the
plot or treatment, but the piece is pleasant and amusing,
and does not task too severely the powers of the actors.
A certain Baron Blutfeubrich (Mr. W. H. Stephens) is the
ekl guardian of a young ward, Angela (Miss Harriet Pel.
ham), whose beauty he admires, and whose wealth he covets.
Another ward, Albert (Mr. J. G. Shore), however, who has
ben kept at the University of Wurtemberg for ten years,
Menu just in time to defeat the old man's selfish plans.
Angela and Albert meet, are agreeably disappointed to find
that each is not still a child, and immediately fall in lore
with each other. Albert, who is of a saucy and inventive
km, plots with two old and faithful servants to deceive the
Duce, and get his consent to the union, and this deception
almost takes the form of a burlesque upon Pave. Albert
appears to the Baron—who reads books of magic—es what
ion must delicately call a gentleman from the low countries,
and in that guise, by the aid of his confederates and darkness,
mese& io performing many yowlers in the st►le of Messrs.
lay, Palmer, Ferguson, Davenport Brothers, and Company.
The old man sign, the usual documents, only to find that he
bee 'either gained fresh youth, nor Angels, while the two
levers have Rot married by an ingenious subterfuge. The
fan of this little piece consists chiefly of some good-
humoured "chaff," which names between the somewhat
practical old man and the "demon-lover," and of a panto-
seismic dance of pictures, chairs, and tables, to a very lively
tune. The dresses and ,emery were good, and the acting
throughout was very agreeable,

THE EXPLOSION AT ERITIL—ANOTHIE DEATH.—
We regret to state that another death has resulted from
the rent explosion at Belvedere. Yesterday the girl
=earth Osborn, expired in Gay's hospital, from serious
wounds en the head and arms which she received from the
falling debris after the exploaion. Her case wee almost
hopeless from the first. 'the death of thus sufferer makes
the total number of lives lost by the late calamity amount
to twelve. The rest of the wounded, in Guy's hospital, are
reported to be in a fair way towards ultarm te recovery.
Mr. Sidney Turner, the house surgeon, is of opioion that
some of them will be in a condition to leave the hospital
thin week.
THE STORAGE OF GTEPOWDER AT MAW:MOOD.
—The explosion at Erith bas again drawn public attention
to the goverumeut powder depot at Marchword. on South.
eauptou- water. The inhabitants of Southampton have long
leen anxious about this depot, and the matter was ear. oted
last session in parliament. The depot is situated on the
south western side of Southampton-water, about two miles
from the town of Southampton, on the opposite side of
the water. It consists of monorl•like buildings just &bow
high later mark. The interior mammary is lined with
woodec planks, fastened together with copper nails. These
magazines are surrounded with embrkmeete and more.
Troops guard then night and day, and no re is allowed to
eater them unless wearing a particular dress, and shoes
covered with list or felt. The doors are Dever
opened is thundery weather. The megrims are rid
to contain at the pretreat time 80,000 barrels, or 3,804 tar
of powder. The powder la landed and embarked from a pier
of considerable length, and no pleasure boats or ueauthoriesd
persons are allowed to approach. In feet, the depot le a
=feet mystery, and scarcely a person unconneeted with
guardienehip of the powder hae ever bees sear enough
to the magazines to describe them. There is great fear
that if they were to explode Southampton would he do.
etroyed, Winchester, Homey, and Core would be
seriously damaged, and Broadlaode, the seat of the
Prince. about six miles, and Osborn, the Quotes
place, about nine miles from the depot. would
