I t•ts generally our lot to record some novelty at
theatre The last week has been characterizA by the
production of a . OreCtl:l, end by tin: return of Miss

......

•• *

Kelly t. her precssional duties, after a most severe
illness—a return which we have no doubt the man:igen:-
will hail with as much pleasure as AVO :la. The operetm
under the title of•the Rende.:.eners possesses more merit
than generally distinguish such dramatic trifles. In its
incidents and characters are to be tinmd the true de-
meats or the comic xlraml, and. the naivete of Miss
Kelly, and drollery of Ilarley, hay e full play in the
parts they have to perfume. The piece was received
most deservedly with universal :till:rob:Ilion, and will
rave, we have no doubt, a fitvourite with the pi:l.)H,.
The.reatvory of lies:ly le been followed by the
interesting drama of the Blind Ankin the personutit.o
of which that lady 111V4 beets -so eminently saccessilds;
and it is with muck pleasure that we have again wit-
noised its represtattati-m. As a theatre devutud in A
great measurt•-to music, the proprietor hasmot thought
it out of the line of his object,.to anima publicity to a
curious Musical AUtomaton, the invention of u» Aus-
trian mechanic, who exhibited, Qn Tuesday an.l Wed-
nesday evenings, a.cutiotts piece of .media.tistn under
the form of an Austtien- Trumpeter, performA
several airs on that instrument, to the u•Aonishment and
delight of numerous audiences. The evenings bill of
fare still c3ntinues to ha completed by Anvitenrs anti
Actors, which promises to continue a fitvourite loui;
beyond the present :season. and is certainly one.of the
most successful farces that has been prtslueed fur o.
long period. The jokes come so home to every body,
well as being so pat to the piece, that they are irre.a-
ble, and the manager's invitation to Luigi: i.. not Aivtut
in vain.

AIX-LA-CHAPELLE.

[Extract of a private ktterpoin the Tilart."

" I have to-day hrule a circuit of the houses ely4vela
for the different Sovereigns and Mini,ters, and ha ..e
heard the sums tbr which they are hired. The Emi,r,
rur of Austria pays tor apartments to himself and his
suite. including Prince Metternich, 4.5,000 francs.—
His Majesty will occupy the house of Mr. Bramertz, a
small but elegant residence in one of the best streets of
the city towards the wink side. •l'he lEmperor of Rus-
sia has engaged two houses, one in the town (that of
Madame Claus), for which he pays 50,000 francs;
and one beyond the walls, about a mile towards Lutf.4-
berg, fin. which he is to pay 26,000 mere.
" The suite of his Majesty Alexander will be more
numerous than that of any other Sovereign. The Bus-
sian Minister at the Court of Berlin, M. Alopeus, is
already here. The king of Prussia has engaged a
house at 18,000 francs that of Madame Ofli•rman;)
and his Minister, Prince Hardenberg, that of M. Ett-
tendorff, at 28,000. Lord Castlereagh is to occupy the
hotel of the banker Schlosser, and the l)ukc of Wel-
lington that of the burgo master M. Guaita, each at a
rent of between 28i,and 50,000 francs. The Auk: of
Richelieu is to occupy the house af•M., Polen, far ts•hic!t
he pays 22,000 franc: ; his suite, it is said, will be very
limited. Bankers will be as -necessary in a part
the ensuing negotiations as ambassadors, and accord-
ingly Messrs. Baring, Potham, and %linens, arc soon
expected. Two of the •firm of Rothschild are here.

" Ia every street you soc raason, plasterer:,. and
carpenters at work, repairing, embellishing, or
larging houses, to enable their owners to catch a portion
of • the golden shower. Loads of furniture ore daily
arrividg from Paris or. Brussels, to fill the hirmerly
tr-
profitable spaces ofempty rooms and unexplored attics ;
assortments of cantlelabres, cantliestics, lamps, hous:1;
bells, locking-glasses, and ink stamis, arc sold belote
they reach °the magazine of the shopkeeper ; and on
every third or fourth window along. some of the streets
you see the inviting notice of Chambres gcrnicv a luuer.
Their numbers, however, have not reduced the price.
The enormity of the nemand made by the owdets, ex-
ceeds auy thing we experience in the small assize towns
of England on the arrival of the Judges. They ex- -
hibit, when fixing the price, the awkward app arance
people struggling between a violent desire to gain ali
they can, and fear lest. the magnitude of their demand
should appear ridiculous. It is no urc imolai' thing
for theta to ask 20 or '25 francs a day during two
months, for apartments which in London could he pro-
cured fir less than that sum a week."
‘• Two thousand francs fir a small bed-moon an
parlour during Congress are frequently asked and given.
A pert little Wrench woolendraper, one of the prin-
cipal meets, who is eci,:irg every inch of a large
house into francs :Did napoleon:, had yesterday the con-
science to ask for more, awl justided the c:...eviig-ance
of his demand, when it appear -d -excite 6:ieele, by
elaborately proving that tit isCiin;.,Press would i. dill'erent

gress of 181 as Aix-hi-Chapelle :vl3- Ca SO large
