Her voice is oclipirably qeslilled for plaintive ex-

criminating taste. casuist f.sil to captivate the sense.
There was no novelty io the rest of She characters,
with the exception of the Grave-digger, in which
EMERY used to be so favourably received. Mr.
Fsvrcerr filled his place last slight, and displayed
a considerable abate of caustic huusour. The house
was well attended.

Last night this Theatre opened for the season
with a new grand. serious, equestrian Melo-drana,
celled The Infernal Secret ; or, The Ineulnerable !
The scene of action is laid in Portugal. Montilla, the
Invulnerable (Mr. H. Kensble), lies entered him a compact
with the Arch Enemy of Mankind fur the possession of
wealth, power, invulnerability, and a life reicewalde for
ever, provided that in each century he weds an unstained
Catholic female. The third century of his preternatinal
existence is abaut expiring when the piece commences
with his attempts to gain pciaaessioa of the hand of
Isidore (Mrs. Pope), the daughter of the Marquis An-
taldi (Mr. Bedficrd), the wieun of a Portuguese Noble_
maw. Montilla has endeavoured to secure en interest in
the lady's affect' ,by saving her husband (runs the hands
of assassins, and twice rescuing her infant son, after the death
of the father, from situations of insulioent peril; but the
mystery which sittaches to his character counteracts ell his
efforts, and he at last leagues with a banditti, 'bole leader
(Spalstro) be had delivered from the fangs of the
Their joint efforts are defeated principally by the exertions of
Theo. ore Mr. Blanchard), a devoted servant of Doti Alphomo
(Mr. Stutetou), who is deeply eostnoured of Isidore. The
termination of the period at length arrives, when Montilla,
having been unable to prevail on Isidore, either Icy hope or
fear, to accept his hoed, notwithstanding he works on her
partiblel sad filial feelings, by confiniag her father and child.
The fatal hour of twelve strikes, when the third century of
hie existence being completed, and his part of the compact
unperformed, he is destroyed by a bolt hone heaven; and
his allies, the banditti, are totally defeated, and their cavern
blown up, by the military beaded by Don Alpbooso.
Our readers will perceive that the author has
been indebted to Mr. MATURIN'e novel of Melnaoth
for the materials of his plot ; but he hos judiciously
varied it to give scope for the ezertious of his
banditti, whose sudden appearance on the stage,
mounted on their beautiful horses, had a very strik-
ing effect. Much of the scenery is entirely new,
and entitled to the mutt unqualified approbation
the view of the rocky sea shore with an approaching
storm, and the interior of it ruined abbey, were more
particularly admired. The piece abounds with
striking situations, and was well received through-
out. It was giver, out for repetition without one
dissentient voice.
The petit piece called Tramfornrotioss followed,
in which Mr. J. Komity (from the English Opera
house) gave his imitations of several London
perfumers. The comic borietta of NNDoor
Neighbours closed the entertainmentsext-
of tbe
evening.
The holer was very well attended; the pit and
gallery overflowed before the commencement of the
performance.

On Sunday afternoon, at three o'clock, his Royal
nig'mesa the Duke of YORK arrived in town from
Cheveley Hall, Cambridgeshire.
Her Rnysl Highness the Duchess of KENT, ac-
companied by her son Prince CHARLES of Leinin-
ern, and the Princeas FEODORR, visited the Royal
Sea Bathing Infirmary at Westbrook. near Mar-
gate, on Tuesday lest. Dr. Baosvo, one of the
Physicians of this Institution, THostas Wstio,
Esq., J. A. VAaae, E.q. M.P., and JAMES
TARDY. Esq., three of the Vice-Presidents, attend..
ed her Royal Highness through the Image. On de.
parting her Royal Highness expressed the most
earnest wishes for the welfare of the Institution, and
a desire to become one of its petronessess besides con-
tributing liberally to its funds.
Thirsday and Friday left HENRY BROUGREnt
bh
Esq. 61 P. visited Mr. OWan's interesting esta-
shment at New Lanark.
A traveller mentions, that, of all modern hew",
the Duke of WELLINGTON is the most popular in
China. This, it iti said, results not froM the victo-
ries obtained by that Nobleman, for about the bat-
tle of Waterloo the Chinese know but little, sod
care still less. It is the name of the Noble Duke
that permeates such a charm to the ears of his ad-
mirers: it sounds, and it is pronounced very mods
like a word of Chinese origin—Wee-fing-towg. As
the name of this hero thus pronounced contains
three distinct Chinese wordy, he is in their estima-
tion °oleo( the greatest men that ever lived, perhaps
descended in a direct line from the five-clawed
(rip's, who, it seems, is the guardian saint of the
erlestial empire.
Mr. Young, we understand, has concluded an
engagement for three years with Mr. Ettisrow, for

guished Nobleman, is in contemplation to be raised

TAR .If we may judge from the crow ADELPHI
Crowe state of this
theatre last evening., when it opened for the winter
season, Torn mid Jerry will not make its appear-
ance less frequently than it did slier its first in-
troduction. Mtwara, WRENCH, REEVE, and WIL-
KINSON supported the leading characters, Tom,
Jerry, and Logic, with undiminished eclat. A
Lilliputian trio, Harleiuin, lowa, and Cohan*.
Gime, were much applauded. When the various
scenes of Life is London were concluded, a bur-
feta, entitled the Aew Marriage Au, was pro-
duced. Previously to the commencemrut of the
latter piece the Stage Manager came forward, and
requested the indulgence of the audience for Mr.
Ititrvit, who had undertaken the port of Tommy
Co.r, which was intended for Mr. Waver:it, that
gentleman basing unfortunately met with r serious
accident whilst dressing for his character. This
was en nnexpeeted drawback 'then the success of
the piece, which was received with a mixture
of dirapprOation and applause. The stage ma-
ssager, bomber, again presented himself to the au-
dience, and assured them it should be carefully re-
vised, and every possible effort made to render it
worthy of their favour. It would be utifiar to ouster
into any criticism upon its merits until it shall be
again produced after having undergone the pro_
mined revision. We stated before that the house
was crowded to excesa—pit, boxes, and gallery

thought, be a sufficient guide to his Lordship in deciding

public, as well as to the stage-masters, and was by no means

DEATH OF SAMUEL BROOKS, ESQ.

We are sorry to announce the death of this highly
respectable Gentleman. The melancholy trent
took place at tire o'clock on Sunday morning at
Margute. Mr. Brooks had bee.' a long time in a de-
clining state of health. He had been for many years
an extensive glass manufacturer in the Strand. In
the pol•tical world he was universally known as the
Chairman and Secretary of the Westminster Com.
mince for the Purity of Election. In this cause he
was indefatiguble, and to his exertions that city is
indebted for the independent representation it has
enjoyed since the first election of Sir Francis Bur.
den, of whom he was the steady and zealous sup-
porter. In all the domestic and private relations
of life, Ur. Brooks MU equally estimable as a
parent, a neighbour, and a friend. I
