THEATRE ROYAL
The Rotunda Theatre closed its first season on
Saturday night with Rob Roy and Don Giovanni
in London Mrs. flumby, we regret to siy, was
prevented by sudden and serious indisposition from
pet forming the hero—and as Mr. Farces, could tint
procure a substitute for this fascinating performer,
he announced the farce of Where shall I Dine ?
instead of the burlesque. The audience, however,
were not satisfied, and otter several ropeala made
by Mr. F. he proposed that Mr. M`Keon should
come en and ►ead the Start of Giorrushi. This was
assented to, and the entertainment passed off as
well as could have been expected under sucls cir-
cuntstancee. At the fall of *be curtain Mr. barren
came 'inward and delivered the following address,
r:hiels was very favourably received :
" Ladies and Gentlemen—l should havegreat reluctance is

Among the eimay @vile that'nre silently but in-

prices of grain and high prices of stock, which have

sary result is 1111 increasing extent of pasture laud,
mind diminution of land under the plough. Add to
this, the sumo,' which is forced upon farmers

upon us, lowly depopulates our fields and increases
the number of our 14 deserted villages." Mr.
CURWCM. whore agricultural information and par-
liamentary honesty so natuually separated him from
the Nu-Corn-Laers.Men of Carlisle, has told us,
that the corn we import, .mild, if raised at
home, give employment to two hundred thou-
sand pairs of English hands ; that import..
tion is hourly increasing. Polish villages and
villagers, and Polish Lord., are flourishing ac-
cordingly; while our wretched fellow-countrymen
moat washer to " o.wego," the prey of evrey
mercenary sea-captain and ship-owner, or speculator
in American lands—or crowd into our towns, to
swell the tide of trade and manufactures, poverty,
disease, vice, blasphemy, and treason—

But' the wretched and temporising quacks, our
state-doctors, see nothing of all this ! They tire
quite confounded that the people are poor, vicious,
and disloyal. %MI so many good laws—with so
much teaching and so much preaching—with so
much charity—so much reading and writing—how,
cry the good souls, how can these things be ?
Our sentiments on emigration are well known;
and nothing in•the preceding paragraph is (resign-
ed to impede its progress. We wish to keep as
many of our brethren at home as we can; but
every civilized country (and England, for [natty
4e.sons, paiticulerl3) oserflows with population,
and naturally enquire it-ell into more solitary re-
gions. It is quite necessary, in the mean tune,
fluid the needy wanderer—wandering for bread—
should be on his *card, not only against roads
which have no guide-posts, and toads which have
wrong guide-posts—but agrinst the proWleis who
lie in wait at every corner, to rob him of thy.
lust crust, in the possessiou of which he has set for-
ward on his journey. Laud-speculators approach
him Islas lying stories about fertile sods, and pro-
fitable mat kets ; and musters and owners of
vessels deceive him about seasons and ports when
and where to direct his course. The emigrant should
know, and shoed.' remember, that between him and
those who undertake to transport him, there is
no eUlllllllll.ly of IIIII•I12bt. The ship-owner dues not
care tni what shore the in serahle vsgrant is cast,
so long ns the passage is paid, and the vessel
'eared of hits; ;11111 the Captniu; who sails in the

gers of the voyage, requires only a season its
which the ship can keep the sea and touch the
foreiga havers in fosse. lint it is then the voyage is
over that the emigrants' troubles are to begin—then,
when the Captain's are over! then comes the when
and the where. A season may do very well fur mak-
ing a voyage, aisl very ill fur the poor emigrant,
a hose toil and travel are to Cl.llllllCtlee after the voyage

world, and all the world to each other. They
parted reluctantly at Montana's house, where her
female attendants received her.

the island, mid rejoiced in his departure, which they
attributed to shame and remorse fur his outrageous
behaviour. No further obstacle impeding the
wishes of the lovers, their nuptials were celebrated
• few day, afterwards with due solemnities and
njoicings. The Karig and all die principal chiefs,
so whom hlalohi was drserv.dly dear, attended
the festivity.
The snarly, an extensive lawn before the royal
mansion, was the scram of the nuptial rejoicings.
At one end of it the King, the principal chiefs,
the bride and bridegroom, were seated to witness
the iterfortmence of the day. At a little distance
from them, the most plentiful supply of provisions
was arranged for distribution after the games.
Baked pork, the flesh of a particular species-of
doge fattened for the purpose, bananas, yams. and
cocoas formed the chief articles of the feast. Near
these fifty singers and musicians sat in order on the
grass. Some of them beat a drum, consisting of •
cylindrical piece of hollowed •wood, covered with
skin; others played on a sort of sticcallo, or in.
atrument composed of pieces of hard wood of d.f.
ferent bites, by striking which they 'produced the
various notes; others again performed on different
sorts of flutes, all of which were played by the
breath of the nostrils. The singers raised their
voice. in harmony with the instruments, and chariot-
ed the delights of love and the reward of valour.

the fine downy scarlet plumage of a small bird, coats

plates of mather-of-peerl, obtained from enormous
shells. Au immense fanlike plume of long scarlet
tail feathers overspread their Iterate, the fronts of
which were made to resemble the hideous Neck of

'terrified Manson@ dared ant to liR kin eyes, until
roused by an exclamation of horror and 'rage from

licious delight, the ferocious c•untenatice of_ Thef/.
The last spark of hops was tretinguished in her
bosom. She uttered t piercing shriek, and tell
senseless on the ground. Teiofa commanded two
of his men to carry her off. Malohi felt that he
ehould never pee her more: he struggled to break
front his guards to enjoy • last volume,, but was
-unable to shake off their powerful grasp. Taints
beheld his agony with a smile. " Son of the weak
and foolish," slid he " erase to exhaust thy puny
strer.gth in contending with men; a foe expects
thee, whose attacks will require thy utmost force.
Cais'et thou beat off -the waves of ocean ? Quest
thou wrestle with the rising waters? Soon, in the
agonies' of drowning, thy clinking spirit shall vainly
curse its presumption in aspiring to the chosen
bride of 'rands."
Malohi attempted to reply. Not instantly re-
ceived a blow on the mouth from one of the guards,
winle others forced • piece of wood into his mouth,
which they fastened so as to prevent his speeking;
they then tied his hands and feet together. At the
continent! of Takao, they hurried the unfortunate
youth down to the beech, and threw his,, into a
canoe, into which two of them followed him. They
instantly begun to paddle not to sea, towing with
them an old leaky boat, in which their prisoner was
to he left bound, gradually to shill. Already it
was half filled with water, and continued to fill ra-
pidly. Malohi beheld with horror the miserable
fate to which he was devoted ; but when he thought •
of that which awaited Mamma, his agony became
insupportable. The insulting conqueror stood on
the beach eagerly watching the progress of the ves-
sel, which had now reached the intended distance;
the rowers, with refined cruelty, took the gag from
their prisoner's month, that their chief might enjoy
the fiendish pleasure of hearing his despairing cries
and execrations. 'Fite dreadful moment was now
arrived.

One of the men began to haul the leaky canoe
alongside of that in which they were. As he stoop.
ed, his companion, raising his paddle, shtick
him a dreadful blew on the head, which stunned
lion ; be fell dead into the sea. The man who
had performed this extruo►dinary action, quickly cut
the cords by which Malohi was bound, and point-
ing to the shore, where the chiefs and warriors were
fast flinching their canoe., with terrible outrits,
to pursue them, bade tM•slohi to pull with all his
might. He obeyed in silence. They made for a
rocky and uninhabited part of the crust, with the
desperate energy of men struggling for life. But
they roon yaw the sindictive Tutors, with many °they
strenuously labouring to overtake them. The canoes
of the pursuers were each rowed by several men ; and
they soon gained upon the fugitives, whose strength
began to fail. In vain the latter redoubled their
efforts ; their powers were exhan,ted : and Taiora's
canoe came swiftly on. The triumphant menaces
of that terrible chief resounded in their ears as they
doubled the angle or a jutting rock, and entered a
pool homed in a recess of its lofty perpendicular
bide. Malohi, seeing no outlet for escape, uttered
a deep groan. " Now follow me," said Iris compa-
nion, and dived into the sea. Without hesitation
Malohi fullowid him. The pursuers in a fee mo.
atoms canto up with the empty canoe; and when
they found that their destined victims had precipi.
tried themselves into the ocean to rscapt their
cruelly, their disappointment broke out in dreadful
etocrationa.

Meantime the unfortunate Mamma, on recover-
ing Irma her swoon, found herself in an apartment
of the house alikh hail lately been the Kintea,
ut-
tended by two of !ter own women. They informed
her that several of their companions had been killed
in the late dreadful affray, and the rest enslaved by

they were was strongly guarded. From them also
she teamed the fate to which her lover bad been
condemned, and which they imagined he had suf.

In rouriting from their fruitless pursuit, the fla-
