ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSL
This amusing theatre was enlivened last night
by the presence of EMERY, in a new piece of the
melo.dnune order, called The Miller's Maid.
The plot, in great part, from BLOOMFIELD'S poem
of the same name, runs thus:—The Miller (BART-
LEY) has gathered under his charitable and thrifty
roof, George (Mr. T. P. Cooaa), a stout lad, who
has been at sea, and Phoebe (Miss KELLY), an or-
phan, who has been compelled from hard treatment
to desert her parish apprenticeship. They are mutu-
ally enamoured. George has a rival,of very splenetic
tonper, in his fellow-labourer Giles (Mr. Emmet).
The Miller finding that love, with its concomitant
fends, does not much enhance the industry or peace
of his household, determines that !lobe shall de-
clare herself. and choose one of the young fellows
for her husband. She of course selects George,
but Giles extracts a promise that should any thing
prevent their union, he (Giles) is to have the next
preference. This accident instantly occurs; for
the lovers on a comparison of their infantiue recol-
lections, discover that they have been bred under.
the same roof, though they have been divided and
kept asunder by varied aecident, ever since the
death of their mother. Cites enforces hi. claim,
• which is, notwithstanding, rejected by Phwhe. He
enters into a conspiracy for forcible abduction of
her person with the 'Squire's gamekeeper, whose
purpose is to secure her for his master, and leave
the obloquy of the deed to Giles. The orphans
resolve to have all doubts cleared by repairing to
their native town, and consulting the traditions of the
aged and the parish registers. Just as they are about
to set forth, an old soldier (Mr. ROWBOTHAM) arrives,
and encountering Mottle (Mr. HAMLET), a booby
of strong literary ambition, though uoicble. to write
his name, learns the story of George and Phoebe,
repairs to the mill, and explains all happily. Flambe
is his own daughter, George only his son by adop-
tion. Meantime Phabe has commenced her jour-
ney, but without George. Giles is summoeed, by
the gamekeeper to his guilty purpose, but changes
it to that of rescuing Phoebe from the violence of the
'Squire. This takes place within view of the mill,
to which Giles instantly returns bearing Phabe on
his arm. Hearing the explanation of the soldier,
and finding his pretensions once more baffled, he
resigns her with generous reluctance to his more
fortunate rival. The original in BLoourtELD is
exceedingly beautiful, and its choice simplicity
seems to have made a very happy. impressiuu on
the fancy of the dramatist. There were only two
faults in the stage plot. One lies in the med-
dling of Mollie with some of the most serious
and perplexed incidents, whereby his humour,
which is none of the most pertiueut, becomes
still more incongruous and objectionable. The
other belongs to a piece of love dialogue, which
takes place between George and Phabe, when
they have nearly the certainty upon diem of being
brother and sister. Besides the obvious infringe-
ment on sensations which can never be happily
awakened, implied in this error, it has the effect of
protrecti lig the plot. and so fir depraving the interest
of ir. Beyond these there is no Gulf: The chaiac-
tent take a strong and familiar cast, and the dialogue,
generally speaking, runs in a vein of spirited and
intelligible simplicity. The Aliller is an admirable
drawing of rustic life. It is a rich and proper
finishitig for the original, sketch in the poem. Mr.
BARTLEY performed it with a force and impression
equal to the conception of either of the authors. He
was a model of solid, plain, and feeling manhood,
which must be contemplated with feelings of regret
as much as pleasure, because the image belongs
not to our own times, but those which are past.
Ile was, in short, a miller fit for Arcadia, with
the morals of the Christian faith superedded.
Miss KELLY played Phcehe with that intense
heehaw of sensibility which site infuses into
all her juvenile heroines, and mingled the village
graces and virtues in her expression most delight-
fully. Mr. T. P. (7oomit would have been &stk..
guished in his part of George by his unaffected
bluntness, but that EMERY stood coestantly in corn-
'petition with him. The character of Giles is drawn
with only less accuracy than that of the Miller.
Being a pure invention, the dramatist has a right to
more credit for it than the others,ehich were sketched.
to his hands. If any thing. the part was too strongly
shaded with malevolence and prophetic denunciations
of vengeance. But the indomitable paloion, which
could only be controlled and left within the sphere
of virtue by the play of surrounding events upon
the kinder affections of the nil's'', was a conception
worthy of SHARSPEARE. Mr. EMERY gave it the
most perfect and glowing animation, and the con.
Met of his emotions at the close held the audience
in the most interesting suspense. Mr. HARLEY
was sufficiently whimsical in his ardour for reading
and composing rimesters. but his alliance with the
plot was not strict enough to make his business felt
ar matter of importance. Mr. ROWNOTH AM was very
good in the old soldier, and his swatches of old
songs seemed to be very genuine ernauations of
feeling. The piece is attributed to Mr. FAUCET.
Mr. JOLLY composed the music. The first move-
ment la the overture, which is again recurred to in
the concluding strain. is very charming, possesses a
pretty sylvan character, and breathes plaintively, so
as to represent the sighing breezes of departing
summer. There is a good glee of villagers in
the beginning of the piece. The wintery is rich,
and the view of the mill, and the country beyond,
is as gratifying a landscape as can be viewed.
The house was unsocially full. Mr. BARTLEY
gave oat the piece for repetition every 'treeing
till further notice, and the tuformstion was hailed
with shouts from all parts of the house.

Excellency

-17 AUGUST
Hie 04 toed Lieutenant had the
honour yesterday to dine with his Majesty the King,
at the Palace at the Phoenix Park.
The Lord Lieutenant lest night slept for the
first time at Dublin Castle. His Excellency will
reside at the Castle white lie Majesty remains in
Ireland.
The following official notice hss been sent to the
ministerial newspapers this evening
It is understood tort his Stajesie will hold a private
levee, at the Vice-Rapt Lodge, o Wednesday next, for
the purpose only of receiving the public Authorities, who
will be expected to auend in mourning; and that his Majesty
will bold a public levee, at the Castle of Dublin, on Moo-
day, the 90th instant."
The Duke of Montrose, the Marquis Graham,
the Marquis of Hesdfort, and several others of his
Majesty's Household, paid their dutiful respects to
the King in the course of the day, at the Lodge in
the Park.
Sir B. Blomefield, accompanied by a groom, left
the Park about two o'clock, in a chariot, for the
Castle.
The Marquis of Londonderry is for the present
the guest of Mr. Secretary Grant, at his Lodge in
the Phoenix Park.
Saturday, at the time of the Ki--'s landing
Pier his

on the .of Howth, his Majesty, with the most
gracious condescension, shook hands with a num-
ber of those who were present, and among the rest
with Mr. Denis Bowes Daly. Whilst that Gen-
tleman was engaged congratulating the King on
his happy arrival in Irelaird, one of the light-
fingered gentry, some of whom have, it appears,
been imported from England on the present inte-
resting occasion, contrived to take from him a va-
luable gold watch, which he had but very recently
purchased for sixty guineas !
His MAJESTY. in the short but elegant speech
which he addressed to the crowd who were assem.
bled at the Vice-Royal Lodge, in the Phoenix
Park, on Sunday last, to greet his arrival in Ire-
land, congratulated himself on being the first of his
family who had ever visited that contry. In this
supposition, however, his MAJESTY probably meant
• the first Brunswick King. The Duke of CLAusice
was, we believe, the first member of that Royal
House who ever visited Ireland. It so happened that
the ship°, war on board of which his Itoyarl Highoess
served as a midshipman, had occasion to enter the
harbour of Cork during the time of his vervice,
he took advantage of the event and visited the city
of Cork, where he was received with such marks of
distinction as the suddenness of his arrival and the
necessary shortness of his visit would permit. The
!etc Earl of SHANNON, on learning of his arrival in
Cork, immediately set off fur that city, from his
beautiful seat at Castlemarsyr, and hod the
satisfaction of conducting the Prince, .who was
then familiarly known by the name of " Prince
Wr LUAU," to his splendid mansion. The intelli-
gence of the illustrious visitor's rank preceded him iu
Iris journey, and at every town or village aloug the
line of road from Cork to Cestlemartyr, the inha-
bitants removed the horses from his carriage, and
drew it with load cheering through those several
places. The Prince remained at the Earl's seat for
u short time, wheu he returned on boatd his ship.

Among the numerous distinguished fashionables
who arrived in Dublin on Saturday were the fol.
lowing
The Bishop of Chops., the Earl of Kiepton, the Ea►l of
Mouotcashel, the Bishop of Killalor, the Earl of Cloonsel,
Lord Lowth, Lord Oriel, Lord Cloubrurk, the Earl of Long-
ford, the Earl of Gesford, Sir Was. Chesterton, Bart. Sir
Dudley Hill, General Brook, the Knight of Glyn, BirJanes
Strom, the Hia. G. Careodisb, kr, Ike.

The Countess of Antrim, suite and family, ore
daily expected at Gresham's Hotel.
The Hon. Mr. Amherst and Mr. Rice, M.P. bare
arrived at Bilion's.

The Prince and Princess Esterhazy have dined
at home since their arrival in Dublin. Esterhazy

auditory on Saturdry evening. In the Opera of
Luse ix a Village, Miss Stephens performed her
favourite character of Rosetta, aid gave the songs,
in most of which she woe encored, with her owls.
temed sweetness. The introduced ballad, Add
Robin Gray, which was sung by Miss Stephens with
exquisite pathos, drew down.the loudest plaudits.
Among the fashionable. present were—
Therlllarrpois and Ildsrelliaisais of Doosialiirr, Lady Cu;
Lady F. Balfour, Lady Windsors, Lady Banana, Mrs. Daw-
son, Lard Wellscoort, Sir William Compeer. sic. Prises
Eased/any, sad •rite, ocevpisd a private box.
The election of a Member of Parliament for the
University of Oxford is fixed for Wednesday next.
On the 19th ult. a man of the name of Josse
Dames went to Hereford to see the procession
in celebration of the coronation, and at night,
being very much tired, he sat upon a piece of tim-
ber near the Church-yard, end fell asleep. When
he awoke he found his quarter boots had been taken
frost his feet, and upon further search he discovered
that his pocket, which contained about 1514 in silver,
had been also cut from his small clothes. The
hoots were afterwards found in the possession of a
man named John Tenter, who has in consequence
been committed to Hereford gaol to take his trial
at the ensuing Aseixes.
On Monday an inquest was held at Borough-
green, Camubr►dgeshire, before W. P. ISAACSON,
(lent. Coroner for that county, on view of the body
of Jona CHARVELL, late muster of the charity
school there, who on the 29th July last cut his
throat with a pen-knife, but not so effectually as
to cause his instant death ; he languished until the
6h of August. It appeared very satisfactorily in
evidence, that the decreased had been labouring
under an unusual depression of spirits since lest
Christmas, and that be committed the fatal act io a
state of insanity.
