THE j. 11.1.

On Thuriday night was presented to the pulilt• a
novelty in the concert-room of the Opera-house. It
consisted of recitations by 'Nlonsieur Talma and Ma.
demoiselle Georges, from the trN,edies of Raeinr,
Voltaire, and De la Fuse, interspersed with select
pieces of instrumental and vocal musie.—The parts
of this plays,reeited were, filial Racine's l'hedre and.
Androtaaque, Manlius Capitolinus from De la Fosse,.
and CEilipe of Voltaire. Madame Georges, in figure,
resembles Mrs. Siddons ; she has the same dignity of
countenance, but her voice, particularly in its under
tones, is not so flue as that of the British Melpomene.
Monsieur alma's person is handsome: as a performer,
he skewed that he had a full Inowledge.of lii3 profese
sion. They were both most highly applauded.

The following .kilress upon the occasion was spoken

ENOUSII OPERA HOITEE.-012 ThurSarty evening
last, a young lady, of the name of Bugg,ias,. made Leg
first appearance in the character of Po fly, in The Beg-
g,a, s' Opera. Her reception was truly flattering, and
highly merited. Her style sf singing partakes more of
the pleasing and impressive, than overloaded with MA
perfhtous scientific decorations, with which the present
theatrical harmony so much abounds, ." Cease your
.funning," was given with unusual sweetness and tint-
plicity, am} was loudly encored. :Her figure is elegant
and interesting ; but -.her dialogue tither too rapid.
With a little More experience on the stage, Mini Bug.
gins cannot fail of proving a valuable aoquisitiondo the
musical clip:lament of this Theatre. She possesses it
strong voice, . and the advantage of being extremely
articulate, and is a pupil of Mr. Horn. It is impossi-
ble to speak in too high terms of Mica Kelly—her per-
sonification of Luey %vas nature itself. The Macheath
of Mr. Horn was much applauded, and in the air of
‘‘ how happy could I be," he was more than successful.
In short, the Opera is got imp with much-effect, and
considerable talent was display's" throughout.

Earl Ones. said, the onestion wits, whether the necessity of

people of this country. The only danger to be apprehended
arose from the distress of the lower orders ; and lie wonld

The absurdity of their plans were exhibited by I, wkoesses

Tile practice of employing spies of Government was before
confined to despotic, awl not till now admitted in free Go-

House sanction such a proceeding.? Such a hitipy, who fed

the materiel parts of the treason were done, by Castle. It
was he who gave the infamons toast—that the last of Kings
e!:auld be straogled with the guts of the last of Priests.
WO could read without being deeply aifeeted, the black
despair that seized the deluded men who were induced to
co ne front Ilterhyshire to Nottingham, perhaps by spies and
ether designing persons. Ile read the paragraph from the
Paper, about the jammer Oliver, and called on Mini: -

thing discreditable to Mr. lleyntAtlk's character, except his
being engaged in a rebellion, fur which itched made the best

The LIMO MAYOR of LONDON--" It is extremely painfd
to my feelings, that at the first time in which I hare the hon-
our of .141.1r...5ing this I louse, I should statist before yo:r
charged, as it were, with cruelty' and oppression. The pen.
tioners allege that the Hoard of Aldermen govern them in the
spirit of oppression, bat I trust that, if their allegations were.
examined by a Committee of this HOlll/arable Home, they
would be foatid dest;titte of foundation. The regulations IoP
the prison were made by the Court cl A hire:nen, and submithed
to his Majesty's Jud Les, and after heir; under their inspection
for a con..te,crable time, rec. ived the approhatim a;
tures of the two Chief Justices. There are mai.y of
these petitioners totally destitute of loundatioi.,
that they were prevented limn playing at tacketF, and that
the military had been brought into the pri on to enntrotil
them. rimy had,in fact, broken so many whitlows, that the/
were present( il !‘ruin pia% ing at la-kris, but pet milted to pl..y

anti threatening language, a■ to intimidate the Let per of the

admitted to see their friends, it was only thrustch a gralitl;,
