The opera of Tae E.rile was repeated last night
with increased eclat. Some time must elapse be-
fore it bernmes'an Erile from these boards. As •
spectacle. it excites the surprise and challenges the
admiration of the audience.
HATNARKEY.
Last night the comedy of Every tone has his
Pooh iotrodueed a new actor, named JOnnsox, in
the pun of Sir Hobert Raotbk. His figure is light,
and his features distinct; his speech is articulate,
and he made a respectable bow on entering, in
acknowledgment for the spplauses bestowed on him.
He performed the part with gaiety. and seems to
have • quick apprehension of pleasantry, but not a
very polite one. His movements and changer of
attitudes are too qoiek and tortuous—his pos-
tures *hew too. many skier—NW the self-posses-
simi of his manners doss not rem like the result
of an intimacy with people of quality. He has,
howexer, mercurial dexterity in accominodat-
sing his positions to the business of the stage,
and hid hia defects mainly by his vivacity. Mr..
Teu performed the pert of Harmony, and
played off the elegant philanthropy of it with ad-
mirable affect. Mr. ()xesaar enacted So/us,
and neglected no opportunity for the display of

Boas!, Placid, and Mrs. TAYLIWIIIi. his wife.
They each did well in their provinces. Mr.
CONWAY' delighted the house with his chaste
and natural mummer of playing /rids. His re-
quest to Harmony respecting his wife and chil-
dren, when he is meditating self-destiuction. was
a chins% of pathetic excellence. Mr.. CHAT-
TRILBY figured no less iii her performance of Lady
J. leaner Irwin. The scene between her, her father,
and her child, was very sue. Miss CARR per-
firmed 'the pan of Edward. and kept up the
*boggle of emotions, which seems to lacerate the
group. with complete' though painful dexterity.
Miss BOYCE ought to he well remembered for her
genteel perfortuauce of Mils ifoobora. She is ex-
cellesit in displaying the wavering affections of a
female heart, sounded by eseglect, end yet re-
loctairr through post regards in resentment. The

pass the deep and anxious interest felt by the house

Capt. Bayley, the newly elected Master of the Cee

thanks for the honour conferred upon him, pledging
himself to use his utmost exertions in deicharging

BURY FAIN. • '"

Fairs and fstivals are not what they were in for:
men tunes. The thousands that now pace o 3 amidst
the smoke and dirt of towns must make every treat
a mutter of calculation, and feel every step from the
pavement us a venturous wandering. Even the may-
pole dance and the village wake are no more illu-
mitred by that "antshitte of the breast" which every
pastoral poet thinks himself bound to picture to our
imaginations; but the settle supplies the place of
sylvan shades—the Pan of olden times has given way
to the frying apparatus of • stall ! Luxury is almost
the only public enjoyment—a feast, in its limited
tense, pretty nearly the modern rendering of a fes-
tival. Such ere, however, the inevitable results of
the advancement of refinement—the creation of
new wants—the distancing of Dame Nature. It
were booulese to complain of them : and they are
not complained of. Fire-side sociality reconciles
the middle orders to the absence of more " gatish"
joys; and without reluctance they yield the high
road of pleasure to the moat elevated in tank.
Of such the somber who at this season visit the
town of Bury (where. by the way, there is neither
smoke nor dirt to guar the neatness of its regular
streets, or take front the picturesque character of
ita venerable antiquities) is great, we believe, be-
good. parallel under similar circumstances. The
amt.-week of the fair, which the Assemblies ren-
der the period of attraction, fills with company
every house where a anon parlour oe * smaller
chamber can be provided, met throngs our other-
wise quiet streets with splendid equipages. The
Pula ball on Friday evening lest was attended by
66 person. (upwards of 100 more than last year)
and the two others, on the Wednesday preceding
and Monday following. by a considerable number.
The excellent ordinaries at the Angel were daily
resorted to by a great many of the most fashionable,
and the theatre quite filled with an equally distin-
guished audience on Saturday night.

Madame Coteau' afterwards went to Slutprdt. The
charms of her voice made such an impression on the late
King, who, as we know, was passionately food of music, that
some gainetes before his death, which 'applied a few days
sifter his hearing her, be pronounced her name.
From Statgardt she went to Musich. At this first visit to

Famished yid; this powerful recommendation, Madame
Cataiaui west to Vienna, where she met with prodigious sue.
kegs. To give as idea of it, without oversteppiog those
hounds of reserve which we have prescribed to ourselves,
it will he solicits& to cite the following feet.:—At each of
her mmacerts, the great room of the Redoubt was filled to
excess, though the price of admissioe was very high; the
room malaise three thousand preemie. She also obtained
the f of the whole Imperial Cenci, and his Majesty the
Emperor made her a merit of • superb ornanagotal of Opal.

blessed the beornilewee of her heart. The Niagimrsey of the

bad excited so impetigo' desire to hear her. On leaviaig
Asada' she made the jostreey to St. Peterabergla where
she commenced with a ewers, the ticket. fur which were
fixed at IS rumbles. Such was the impression she made, that
the room could set swain the crowds of persons which
came to the succeeding coacerts, and every tenth's several
bemired@ were disappoisited of place,. At Wirth, she chose
for the geese of her emselndlog concert, the public Exeliaoge;
sod more than four thoirmiad petunia were presets,. Always
the patroness of the poor, Madame Giallo* determined that
the large receipts of this evades should he devoted to the
wants of two hesdred etifortmeate &ladies in Xt. Peters-
burgh. When, after this, she took leave of the Empresses,
their Majesties condescended to embrace her, giving her as.
sensed of the interest with which the preeminence of her
Welds, sad the excellence of her conduct, bad umpired

Madame Catalasi remained four months is Russia, and is
that spec* of time the concerts which she gave, as well in the
capital as et Raga, at Moscow, sod at Wiliam, produced her,
all expenses paid, more time fifteen thousand guineas, exclu-
sive of preemie of great value. The liberality with which
the Russian *ability encourage the Rae arts is well knowa,
tied the fisilowlas is a sew testimuoial :—When Medan*
Catalani west from Moseow to Warsaw, she found un her
arrival at this latter city • letter from the principal Musco-
vite nobles, in which they offered to secure to her 440,000
roubles (about ten thousand guiltless), it, during the nutter,
she would come and give tea concerts its their ancient capi•
tat. Fearing that bet health would out bear the severity of
the climate, she was compelled to decline this offer. advan-
tagenas aa it was, and fee which she coneled an answer iu
terms at INKY of gratitude sod regret.
Besides the capitals we have named above, Madame Cata.
lani has sung in fifty or sixty populous towns of Germany
and Italy; and every where the most utmost personages, as
well as the public at Isere, have been shown her, by bribe's'
favours, that their esteem foe her personal coeihect and be-
neficent disposition, equalled their eahnirstion of her silent.
It asap be said that her success, sad the distinctions with
which she has been honoured at all courts, have hitherto
titers, and will probably rehainterithwat a rootlet.
Madame Catalaui had entertained, for some months
past, the project of renouecing all public singing, sod of
effecting a complete retirement. With this idea, she has
refused ruw.iderable sums which have been offered by
several of the Courts of Europe. spun nuiditiou of we.
