B URMA H.

We have received our usual telegraphic dispatch
from Trieste, dated the 10th of June.

Our dates from Bombay are to the 12th of May.
Nothing was known relative to the future move-
ments of the expedition, nor of the enemy's proceed-
ings in the neighbourhood of Rangoon. An advance
of the British troops upon Prome was, however, re-
garded as very improbable.
It was reported that a revolution had occurred at
Ave, but the report requires confirmation.

On the night of the 14th the Burmese attempted to
retake Martaban, but were repulsed with loss.
Provisions were scarce and of bad qUality.

INDIA.

We hear that disorders were prevailing in the do-
minion 3 of the Nizam and Aoud.

Sir Colin Campbell set out again on the sth with a
force directed to St. Arriver.
Imports were firm ; the cotton market unchanged.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
M. Levassor has performed several evenings in the
French plays. • His style is peculiar and original.
His character parts are perhaps his best, for no art
can be in its 'way higher or more finished than that
with which last night, in the Lait d' Annesse, he per-
sonated first the broken down and coughing invalid,
then the clumsy, stolid peasant, looking a French
edition of Buckstone in the Rough Diamond, min-
gled up throughout with gleams and glimpses of his
real character—that of a thoughtless, pleasure-loving,
chateau rouge-frequenting young man about Paris.
In exhibiting what the French call chique—a sort of
artistic slang—in look, speech, and gesture, M.
Levassor is perfectly inimitable. Nothing can
he more piquante, picturesque, or more true
to the school of manners delineated ; while
his character parts have a strong and finished
individuality which stamp them at once as
elaborate and polished creations of the art. Besides
the vaudeville, M. .Levassor gave last night one of
his comic musical scenes, in which he personated an
aspiring member of the opera chorus, singing, indeed,
for eighty francs per month, and debarred by his en-
gagement from ever being hoarse or having a cold, but
as a primo tenore, he will

the yearly hundreds of thousands of francs of the
Rubinis and the Marios. The make-up and awkward
look of the artist as a mechanical singing noble or
retainer in the chorus was richly droll. In the imita-
tions of well-known personages in the choral portions
of .Der Freyschutz and Masaniello, the manner of
chorus-singers was capitally preserved, and the au-
dience were convulsed at the lamentable break-down
when he essays some wondrous note far up in the
cloud-land of alt. The earlier part of the entertain-
ment consisted of the comedy of LaDerniere Confuete,
enriched by the , delicate humour and crisp finish of
style of M. Lafont.

HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.
Madlle. Coulon's• annual concert took place at the
above rooms yesterday. With all the brilliancy of
the most dexterous executionist, Madlle. Coulon has
an elegance and purity of style, a clearness and deli-
cacy of touch, a truthfulness and intensity of ex-
pression, which many an older and more celebrated
artist might vainly strive to imitate or equal. That
the audience were as much charmed with her per-
formance as ourselves was sufficiently evidenced by
the attention paid to the lengthy yet sparkling, and in
passages beautiful, trio in E flat of Shubert (in which
she was supported by Sainton and Piatti), and the
rapturous applause and double encore of the Fantasia
(Lucia) of Prudent. That Madame E. Garica was
encored in Rode's air, it if', perhaps, hardly necessary
to say. Notwithstanding the diffident, we might
almost say nervous, manner of Miss Barclay, in that
delicious rnorgeau, "L'addio," of Shubert, the ap-
plause with which she was interrupted at the close of
the first stanza appeared to reassure her, and she pro-
ceeded with the second with a spirit that rendered
more strikingly effective the touchingly pathetic con-
clusion. Miss Birch's name is a "tower of strength,"
and may well pass without comment. The varied
and attractive programme included, in addition to•the
above, the names of Miss Lascelles, Miss Kate Hick-
son, Mr. Swift, Signor Ciabatta and Mr. Frank
Bodda. The instrumentalists were : violin, Sainton ;
violincello, Piatti; contra basso, Bottesini, and
clarionet, M. Wuille. The whole arrangements
were most creditable to the conductors, Signor
Bellini and Signor Pilotti, and were evidently highly
satisfactory to the numerous auditory, of whom, as
aeems to be pretty generally the case at morning
concerts, the great majority were of the gentler sex,
