THE QUEENS VISIT TO THE ITALIAN OPERA.

On Thursday night het Majesty honoured the Italian
Opera with her presence. She entered the house soon
alter the coniniCnceitient of tile Clp lormance, accompa-
nied by I.nrd and Lady Hood. Her Majesty occupied
one of the center pritate boxes in the second tier, last
as she remained is the back part of the box, she was
not recognised until towards the end of the second act,
when slit was observed by several gentlemen iu the pit
and the boxes. At the end of the act the wrsrhee of
her Majesty became generally known, and she was re-
ceived by the majority of the audience in the pit and
gallery with cheers and clapping of hinds. There was
however some hissing in the pit, winch only excited
stronger manifestations of feeling amongst the majority.
The applause had lasted tor some minutes before her
Majesty had presented herself in the front of the box.—
domg which the whole of the audience rose, and
" God save the Queen" was loudly called for. 'rite ca.l
was attempted w be opposed, nut the opposition was
drowned amidst the clamour winch was occasioned by
the band going on with the music of the piece to ac-
company the ballet. The perfarinees were thriven back
with the cries of " off, off," and the call for " God
save the Queen" being persisted in, the company at
length came forward, and sung the hymn " God save
the king," substituting the name of the " Qneen" for
that of the King in each stanza. Sante part of the au-
dience who did not hear the name pronounced dis-
tinctly, gave it themselves with great emphasis. Op-
position was given up after Signor Ambrogetti had led
forward the company. The nobility and gentry in the
boxes did not manifest any adverse feeling, but stood in
the most respectful manner whilst the hymn was sung ;
and we must say, that the vocal performers gate it with
a great steal of timidity, but the band played it with
much spirit. Her Majesty was dressed in a yellow satin
dress, turned up with slack velvet and gold. She wore
a black hat with a pluine of ostrich feathers, and ap-
peared in good health and spirits. The Opera was Don
Giovanni, and in the ballet Madame Fanny Bias, the •
principal dancer at the Parisian Opera, delighted the
audience by a display of elegant agility that hilly justified
her celebrity. The House was extre. ely crowded, and
during tut remainder of the night her Majesty was the
principal object of attention; and on her departure she
received the same manifestattens of zeal and of respect
that she was greeted with on her being recognised.

ALeISIRAI, APRIL 30.—The Journal of this
town, called the Bee, contains a certificate of the
Secretary of the Municipality, relating that on the
45th, at the invitation of the Political Chief, and the
first Alcalde, the Commandant, the Clergyman of
the parish, and the Members of the Municipality,
met in the Town-house, where they were informed
that a great body of the national militia, and of the
people, were invited to solicit the above authorities
to listen to what would be explained to them by a
deputation, speaking the sentiments of the people.
This deputation, composed of respectable persons,
represented, that the people, with the national mi-
litia, guided by love to the country and to the con-
stitutional system, bad conceived a distrust of some
persons living in the town, and in St. Roque,
la.-
cause their opinions were extremely unfavourable to
the Constitution. These persons were, Lieut.-Gen.
D. Jose O'Donnell, Brigade-General Don Manuel
Albergote, the Ex-Inquisitor D. Francisco Cid, and
three other persons, whom they desired to be ba-
nished to ('cuts, They also desired that a Judge of
the First Instance, an Auditor, and a Lieutenant of
Artillery, should be deprived of their offices.
The Political Chief, and the other authorities,
attempted to gain time, that the clamours of the
people might abate, and the sanctity of the laws re-
main inviolate; but the deputation insisted, and,
after various altercations, the petition of the people
was declared to be just; and it was agreed that Ge-
neral O'Donnell, and some of the others, should be
placed in the convent of this town, under the cus-
tody of the national militia ; that Albergote should
be deprived of his command ; and the Lieutenant,
the Judge, and the Auditor, suspended.

A number of ancient ornaments, among whi,h
were a cross, a brooch set with stones, and several
beads, were dug np last week near Gnilton-mills,
in the parish of Ash, in Kent ; two graves were also
discovered, with the monldred remains of the persons
interred. In pursuing the excavations ►everal spears
were found, but so completely oxydizLtl as to be
incapable of being removed ; on the attempt they
crumbled into dust.
