This elegant little piece is too well known to re-
quire any deetription, and it was produced in a
manner in all respects calculated to du great credit
to the taste and libiTality of the management. The
music was executed admirably well, the scenery and
decorations were truly magnificent. and the per-
formers appeared to as great advantage as de ever
recollect to have seen them. From some cause, how-
ever, which it would not perhaps he very difficult to
divine, a large portion of the audience seemed to lure
come with a pre-determination not to he pleased.
This hostile disposition was very early manifested
in cries of s' iv, of—so hullos: .1" light various
ether vituperative snitutatiosis, some of which it
would be impossible for u' to repeat. These
boa-
tilities were directed front various qu,rters, but par-
ticularly from the upper parts of the house. Their
objects, however, were snpported and encouraged
to proceed, by the loudly-declared approbation
of the major part of the spectators, both in
numbers and respectability. They accordingly
exerted themselves in an extreme degree, and
pot forth all their arts to delight and snrprise. But
the greater the display of their skill and powers the
greater the violence and animosity of their adverse..
ries, which were aimed, proh parlor! in an especi rl
manner against the females of she corps. The bal-
let was brought nether precipitately, we believe, to
a conclasion, and the curtain fell amid a strong
conflict of reprobitinis and applause. Mr. COW )1011,
who advanced immediately after to give out the
play and farce for to-morrow, made no mention of a
ballet, objets circuinidance was hailed, with what
justice we know not, as a triumph by some of the
envy spirits. it is a coincidence somewhat strange.
that a band of Italian players should have been
ushered in upon the boards of rue of our great
national theatres by the identical English opera
which wet written about a century since in ridi-
cule of the Italian musical drama. and winch ac-
tually had the effect of driviog it out of this coun-
try fur the season in which it was first perform-
ed. In saying this, it is by no means our wish to
revive obsolete prejudices' which we well know
would be a vain attempt; but we hope we may be
allowed to express a hope that ape prejudice has not
disappeared only to give place to another, and that
an antipathy to foreign has been converted into one
against British talent. We are led to make this
remark, by observing that the only dancer of cele-
brity at the Opera-house whose name does not stood
in the number of those engaged at Covent-garden,
is Mr. OSCAR BYRNS, un Englishman, and one
who, in the highest attainments of his art, might
perhaps vie with the most accomplished of his to.
reign brethren. With the reason of this omission
we do nut pretend to be acquainted ; but we think
it likely that the experiment which we have been
engaged in describing, would have been far less
opposed as an innovation on the customs of an
English theatre, had it been made, if it were found
practicable, subservitut to the encouragement of
native genius.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN' SCHOOL soctßrr.

On Wednesday last his Excellency the Duke de Friar, the
Spanish Ansismisidiw, aectimpeeird by Mr. Colon and Mr.
C•balteru, visited the Central *hook of the Society, in the
Burundi-road, and minutely inspected them. His Excel-
kitty expressed great satisfaction with the British system,
nod stated that the Central School is Madrid is conducted
exactly on the same play. The Duke de Frias Is owe of the
sieves Grandees who form the Central Committee for diffna.
leg the knowledge of the system in Spain, and it is to the
benevolence of his Race Heavy that the Central School is iss_
debtrd fur a large sad excellent Hall, wherein the School is
conducted.

There is slab a Central School at Madrid, conducted by a
Committee of Ladies fur 300 girls.

COURT MARTIAL. •

NORSE Guano', THURSDAY, strVantsgst 21.
The third day of the Court-martial held o• Lieutenant-
Colonel St. George French, of the 6th dragoon guards, on
charges preferred against him by General the Earl of Car.
hanipion, the Colonel of the regiment. The Court met at
half.past eleven o'clock.
The President informed the other members of the Court
that he had received a letter from the Earl of Carhauaptun,
atatiug, that he was kr, indisposed than yesterday, and
might be able to attend the Court far a few hours ou that
day, but as it was his wiah to be present during the defence
of Lieutenaid-Coloisel French, he would consider it a (scour
that the prosecution might go tau as it did yesterday by
his deputy.
The Court saw no objection to the request.
The Noble Accuser's Solicitor then proceeded to examine
the witnesses to support of the charges (for which see this
Paper of Wednesday, the2oth instant).
The Court adjourned at four o'clock until eleven o'clock
to-morrow morning.
The Court was much crowded during the day.

Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW did not, on Monday night;
at has been smted, give notice of a motion fur les-re
to bring in a Hill to enable the House of Commons
to examine witnesses on oath, in the event of the Bill
of Pains and Penalt►es passing the Upper !louse,
hr merely suggested the propriety of hawing such a
Bill enacted. The suggestion was not confined
to the proceedings on the Bill respecting the
QUEEN, but his wish was. that the power should be
given in all cases; and he particularly adverted to
the extraordinary anomaly now existing, that when
the House, in Use notttre nja Grated Joey, examin-
ed wit►tesses preparatory to au iiiipeachruent, they
had rot that power of examining upon oath, whirh
was possessed by every Grand Jury, eves in the
most confined jurisdiction.
