Oa Saturday sight 'the Two Gentlemen of
Verona was repeated to an overflosving 'bouise.
Some curtailments have taltSn place, which have
tended to preserve the interest of the whole in *
closer chain of communication than was at first
felt. An abridgment has been made of some of the
less attractive portions of the grand etc of the.
Cetraisai in the fourth act ; ho that ristestkigrg,Ono.
scarcely be imagined an entertainment 'MOM , pet,
feetly agreeable or more pleasautly embellished(
with all that is choicest in pi.etry. character,
music, and scenic decoration. We need scareely
add any thing to general observation on
the play. It may be inferior in the ni-
tereat which the darker impulses of the mind with
' the corresponding turns of fortune are alone able to
excite; but the play of the'blander passions is so
easy and energetic, so eloquent in dialogue, and
discovers so mach of impassioned sincerity, as to
shut the audience absolutely within the circle of
the Poet's delightful necromancy. In effecting
this purpose. the represeutation owes not a little to
Mass M. Tads, who sustains the ardour and con-
stancy of feminine love with a truth and pathos
whiehSersaseesaa would have delighted to witness.
She retains the intrinsic delicacy 'or her sex, while
obscured by mile untie, beyond any lady who has
ventured on that daugerous expeeismint ; and the
reproach of her lover, wh•se infidelity lies brought
her to such advelitarousistraits, is delivered with
such a penalty of bashfulness, manifested in every
tone and gesture, as to remove the whole scandal to
his shoulders. Her singing is mere perfect then
ever. There could be nothing beyond the accuracy
' with which she struck the most difficult intervals of
a very operose composition, to which Motor has
set the following words:
"That time of year then wisest in me behold,
When yellow leaves, or sone, or few do hang •
On those wild boughs, which shake against the fit'
Bare !mired quires, where late the sweet birds to
In me thou west the twilight' crutch day, ' •
As after .most faded, in the west,
Which, by and by, black sight cloth take away,
Death's seamed self, that seals-up all la rest."
The moat striking song with the audience seemed
to be, " When in d .;race with fartane and area's
eyes," which she gave with so much spirit and feli-
city of execution, that she was barely rescued by
the humane and more considerate part of the au-
dience from the extreme difficulty of en immediate
repetition. Miss HALLANDE was unfortunately
seized with illness in the commeucenieut of her
first song. and on an application by Mr. Jonas for
indulgence, the audience consented to forego the
rest of her music. With this exception, she ful-
filled the part to the great gratification of the house.
A new face, entitled The Two Pages of Fred,.
riek the Great, was produced for Shell.* time. The
story is bottomed on a wellAnown anecdote of
Frederick having slipt a purse of gold into the
pocket of his sleeping page, in consequence
of discovering that the boy kept himself im-
poverished by supplying the wants of a needy
and affectionate mother. In the farce the distresses
of the mother are developed at some length.
from which it appeal's, that her late husband fell
in Frederick's wars, and is seeking shelter from
the rapacity of a local magistrate in the capital.
She arrives at the house of a notable but ge-
uerouv-minded inn keeper, who on learning her
name and quality, shelters her gladly, and under-
takes the responsibility of the pecuniary claim
brought against her. The King happens to be in the
street, and is made acquainted with the whole affair
just after he has deposited the money in the pocket
of the page. The piece emir., of course. with a
cousommation of good fortune to all those whiaie
conduct turns out to be properly laudable.
There is besides this another page, who is
• very dashing cavalier° sort of person, though
with the warmest feelings of 'kindliest for
his fellows. Miss FOOTS represented the senti-
mental youth, and Mrs. CHATTERLEY the
gayer one. The latter was of course the most
striking, aid was indeed (especially in his new
devotion to the sister of his compeer) a very prea-
sant representation of aspiring juvenility. Mr.
W. FARRIS?' sustained the part of Frederick, and
though there was something too abrupt and grace-
less in the expression of hi • laconic: to sort with our
recollection of the Brandenburglier, there was much
of that strict parsimony of time and words which
might be supposed to accompany so hardy and effi-
cacious a character. Mr. FAWCETT was the gene-
rous innkeeper, and kept up a most whimsical end
agreeable stir or gently conflicting passions—ma.
mentary jealousy of his young wife. mingled
with deeds of chivalrous generosity, methodi-
cal management of his household, and a high
strain of zeal as to the repute of his !souse. The
piece is diligently filled up between the com-
mencement and conclusion. The dialogue contains
a great deal of entertainment as to state morals
and political duties, which maybe very striking to the
senses of the French (from whom the piece stems
to have been taken), but ars too common place for
a people who think and reason with such assiduity
on public affairs as the English. It wus. however,
rapturously received. Mr. F•ReEN gave it out for
repetition " to-morrow" (yesterday). The inadver-
tency produced a very general awl hearty laugh,
in which he joined. Hiving corrected himself, the
anninnicemeut was boiled with loud cheers frout all
sides.

Cleopatra': Galley. introduced in the Carnival,
has literally cost the Proprietors of Covent-garden
more even than the Car in The Exile; but a great
part of their expense is likely to be repaid to them
by the Directors of the Opera at Paris, .ho are said
already to be negocieting for the purchase of it, in
the hope that the Parisians will as eagerly " pny fo►

machinery us the Londoners.

the latter almost instantly went di.wo, and with her every

upon which they wore ship and went iu a direction to the
brig, with a view of renderiug them assistance, but all traced
of bee bad is this short interval vanished, and lie voices of
her mariners were buried in the waves. It was a dark tem.

was rutting before the wind at the rate of nine knots an boors
The Commander of this packet is Capt.Cuilio, a distant re.
lative of the gallant Admiral of that name; and in detailing
the above particulars * appeared unfeignedly concerned is
having been the insetted canoe of a catastrophe so truly
beart-reading: his 01,14.61 ship lost her cut water and igure
head, and is uow in imOkarbour repairing the damage she
*stained.

The London mail did not reach Glasgow till
half-past one on Tuesday rooming, having beets
detained by snow near Kendal.
There appears to be no medium in the weather
the present month. It is either tempestuous, ex-
tremely fine, or the rain falls in torrents. Formerly
the whole of November was hazy, foggy, cloudy,
and relaxing. Within she last thirty years there
has been a complete change in the climate of Eng.:
laud, arising probably from she high state of culti-
vation of the laud, its irrigation titrough the me-
ilium of canals, or some other local cause, not yet
explained nor understood.
The recruit storms have been productive of much
mischief among the growing timber in the western
parts of Sussex. At West Stoke, firs intik ash-
trees, of considerable girth, that were firmly rooted,
were snapped off at ten or twelve fret from the
ground, while others in looser soils were torn up,
and some blown a great distance. At N 3 ton Park,
twenty-one elms were blown clown, one of which, a
tree of magnitude, displuerd such a quantity of
earth with its roots, that a waggon-load would net
fill the aperture. On Monday a violent gale from
the S.W. drove the sea over the bench two Felpham
Levels, and the cattle were drivers out with touch
difficulty.

Some milliliters complain much of machine
thrashed barley, which, they say, comes to liana so
broken and bruised, that portions of it, in the pro.
ces4 of nutting, instead of vegetatiter, rot, and
thereby give an unpleasant taste to the beer, which
is laid at the door of the brewer.
It now appears to be • fact that a quantity of
bonded wheat we' some time ago abstract-
ed from under the King's lock at one of the posts
of Yorkshire, through some neglect on the pail
of the Collector of Excise, though there does not
appear to have been any connivance on his hart in
the fraud. His pay has been suspended, and melts
sures taken in consequence to gitsrd against a re.
currence of the practice.—( Norfolk Chonicle.)

There are few objects more attainable than the
increase of British fruit, nor is there any more vs.
luable means of employ iog laud. Large orchards
would repay the speculator well, mid by a little at-
tention afford a great increase of nutriment. As
this is ascertained to be the fact, is it not a shame
to see, even in the gardens of respectable persons
old trees past bearing allowed to stand useless,
merely because the owner is too indolent to send
for a nurseryman to plant new ours, or, in the in-
stance of apples, to put in new grafts ?
Friday being St. Andrew'r Day, the Anniver-

the attendance was so much more numerous thau
had been expected, that some inconvenience was

cation to apologise. The Right lion. Viscount
