THE NATIONAL REGPSTER.'

Collini. After a miner and actress of such excellence as
eatalani, the task was uncommonly arduous, auttderaanded
po small degree of indulgence from the public. Madame
Collini seemed to feel the difficulty she had to encounter,
and her manners powerfully influenced the spectators in
her favour. This first itnpressioa was soon ripened into
favour, for she displayed very superior powers both of
Voice and action. In her features she resembles the cap-
tivating Grassini, and her tune is also of the same quality.
She sung with ease, clearness, and taste. The music is a
promising specimen of the master, and was very much ap-
plauded. Naldi was received with the warm welcome
which he deserves; for his comedy is a high treat to the
Connoisseur.

A new Divertisement and Ballet displayed the strength
of the corps of Dancers. We have had no suet talenti for
many years. Young Vcstris sprung forward with all the
power and activity which his father possessed seventeen
years ago; and the same astonishing talent seemed to be
revived and identified. We have no doubt but that his
performance. will excite the same furor. It is really won-
derful. The force, truth, and neatness with which he
performs his movements exceed any thing that we have
seen since the day of his father—for Des Hayes is a per-
former of another class. The graceful attitude and air
of the one, with the wonderful execution of the other, will
compose a picture perfect in its kind. The house was in
a paroxism of vociferation in the pa: de deux of Vestris and
his partucr, Mademoiselle Angiolini. She is extremely
elegant in her figure, petite, but finely formed ; and she
has acquired the manner of Vestris. Her equilibrium is
perfect. She •finishes the most difficult movement with
truth ; and her posture has great strength. • Certainly since
the first year of Des Hayes, when he -had also Didelot and
Rose, we have had no such Corps de Ballet in regard to
riucipals as were exhibited last night.

There being no person in London to identify him, and of
course no one to charge him with felony upon oath, he could not
be committed to prison. He was, therefore, locked up In a,
strongroom in the Brown Bear publicAhnse, lu Bow-street.—
Yesterday morning, he said he Wanted to go into the yard, when
a man, the servant of Mr. Mazard, the landlord, attended him
as usual. When be was about to return Into the house again,
he suddenly knocked his attendant dawn, and, in consequence of
some paling which separated that yard from the butcher's, the
house adjoining, there was a free and uninterrupted access to a
large space of wattle ground, at the back-of Russell-street. w hick
leads into a narrow court in Russell-street, through which he
made his escape. The hue and cry of " Stop thief" was raised,
and several men ran in ail directions, but in vain.
Just after the escape had taken place, an offiterarrised from
Ediuburgh, fur the purpose of ideatifying his person, and con.
veying him thither.
Some evenings ago, the Rising Sun public-house, In Suffolk*
street, as well as the pot-boy, narrowly escaped from being de-
stroyed by tire. The landlord, after the company had retired,
and his whole family had gone to bed, felt a strong burning
smell. After a minute search, be- found it issued from the bed-
room of the pot-boy. On bursting open the door, he saw the
bed in flames, tt hilst the boy was found asleep in it. With
great exertions he succeeded in confining the flames to that roots
only. The hay's clothes were burnt, but himself escaped. The
tire originated from the unpardonable practice of sticking tite
candle on one of the posts, apd the boy's falling asleep without
extinguishing it.
