OPERA ROUSE ROW.

A most serious disturbance took place yeeerdav ftesanigilt at the
Opera House, in consequence of the substitution of Madame Pucitte for
Madame Catolent, in the opera of Hoer?, the Fourth, the latter having
refused to perform till the arrears of salary due to her were paid up.
Considerable symptoms of disapprobation were manifested during the
first act of the opera, which increased when the ballet came to be per-
formed. Cries of " OfT, off 1" and "Manager, Mcnager !" resounded
from various parts of the' heatre, and th., opera concluded amidst a
tempest of disapprobation. When the entettaimhent commenced,
number of persons, who had previously expressed their disapprobstion
before the curtain, now came upon the stage with the performers, and a
regular row commenced between the actors and the malcontents, each
striving to obtain possession of the stage, to the exclusion if the others.
In the court ut the struggle between the adverse parties, the drop
scene was torn, but the malcontents at length obtained possession of the
stage, and gate three cheers in tilen of their victory'. Loud cries of
" Manager, Manager !" now twain prevailed, and Ode Deputy Manager
came forward; but so much confusion prevailed in the house, that nut
a word he said could .be heard. The malcontents, in the mean while.
kept possession of the stage, and it was deemed necessary to send for a
guard of soldiers to dispossess them, who ..ccordingly marched upon the
stage, but one of them was disarmed, and the others withdrawn by the
officer who commanded them. The conquerors now paraded the stage
in triumph, and one of them expressed his cont2mpt of the disapproba-
tion manifested by the audience, by turning his back in a certain vulgar
but significant manlier. This outrageous decorum was iulently resented
by some who had hitherto been towing the foremost of the rioters, who
seized upon the offender, an I insisted on an apology, or the alternative
of throwing him over into the orchestra. They forced him upon his
knees, but could obtain no opelogv from line, and in the struggle, seve-
ral of his polishers were themselves pushed into the maestro.
Romeo Coates next came forward to address the audience. He com-
menced—" Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great misfortune, we must
Aim, to be deprived of the talents of Madame Cutalani; but it is of no
use for us to go a rioting."--Here the party On the stage thought fit to
be content with their own exenions, and with very little ceremony in-
deed, drove Mr. Coates off. Many now quitted the stage, and repaired
to the boxes. The clock was just upon twelve, and 'he curtain finally
fell. After a second futile attempt on the part of Mr. Coates to address
the audience from the pit, the company dispersed.—ln consequence of
the above di-turbance, the Lord Chamberlain has issued an order, which
appeared in Tuesday's Gazette, that no person shall be admitted behind
the scenes, under the penalty of withdrawing the licence from the Thea-
tre.—The Gentleman who behaved so indecorously, by turning his rear
to the audience, has since apologised in the mei s, and declared that
he was in a-state of inebriation.

Spicily noon th.. Prince Regent received an account from Windsor
ofthe Queen being indisposed, in consequence of an attack from a
female domestic, wlio was seized with a violetit fit of insanity. She.
was after some trouble secured and sent to a mad-house. The Queen
is now quite recovered of her fright.
It probably is not generally known, that Ler Royal Highness the
Pit N c Ess of W I.Es, has ever been distinguished by zealous exertions
to promote objects of general utility, an indisputable evidence of

The proud display of elegant females daily observed at the Exhi•-

Madame tie ST.tEL has, we find, incurred the resentment of the
Opposition IVriters in this country, by her just and apposite
strictures on their Leaders. They now insinuate that the " Aped
to the Nations of Europe against the Codiarutal System," which does
so mach honour to her talents and principles, was not written by
herself, but by a German of the ;lame of SCLEGEL. This may be
considered as an involuntary and unconscious tribute to the bit" it
of her work. lint the public will not readily believe, that so
spirited, so nervous, and so elegant_a composition, could be the
prodnctiou of a Gernnin, however learned and indicious...Ex amp*
