Rossini's opera of Cinderella was performed at this
' theatre last evening, for the purpose of ioti odueing to
the public a young lady, pupil of Mr. Lacy,
said to be his daughter, but w;io has taken the name of
Delcy. For what purpose she has assumed this name
we have no means of iiscertaining., nor can we see the
propriety or sense of putting on an incognito like a
travelling King or Queen. But there is not,
however, much in a name, and least of all
in the name of a singer or actre,s.
performance is every thing, and in this Miss Delcy has
been very successful. She had the part, of course, of
Cinderella—a character rendered a great favourite wit&
the public some fifteen years ago by the admirable sing-
ing of Miss Paton, one therefore not a little hazardous
for a novice to undertiike. The audience. however, were
not disappointed. Mii,s Deley's voice is on the whole very
good. It has consPerahle compass and power, and great
clearness. Some of the low 'r notes are full and mellow and
she manages it with great skill, showing evidently that her
education has not been neglected. She also acts with
grace, and though at first she seemed abashed and timid
she soon acquired confidence, and went through her part
with great ease. In the first duct with Mr. Frazer (the
Prince;, she was encored with much enthusiasm, as well
'as in the finale, a part of great difficulty and re-
quiring skilful execution. On the whole, as far
as one can judge from a first appearance, she
may he said to have succeeded wonderfully. She
appears quite young—her voice is not matured, and
time, it may be expected, will give it more mellowness,
as well as richness—qualities in which it is still defi-
cient. At the fall of the curtain she was loudly called
for by a very full house, and duly acknowledged the
compliment. Some of the other performers sustained
their parts well. Mr. Leffler made an excellent Baron
Pompolino, and Mr. Hammond represented Pedro with
great humour and spirit. The opera wa given out for
repetition without a dissentient voice.
Pizarro was played here on Monday to a not overful
audience. Elton acted Rolla, and on the whole played
his part vigorously. Mr. Marston was the Alonzo,
Mrs. Stirling well sustained the character of Cora, and
Mrs. West was the Elvira.

NOMINATION OF SHERIFFS FOR
THE ENSUING YEAR IN THE COUP.T OF
EXCHEQUER.

Yesterday being the morrow of St. Martin, accord-
ing to ancient custom a Privy Council was held in the
Court of Exchequer, for the nomination of gentlemen
to fill the of of Sheriffs for the ensuing year. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Baring), attired in
his robes of office, presided at the head of the Court.
There were also present the Marquis Normanby, the
Lord Chancellor, Lord Denman, Lord Abinger, Lord
Chief Justice Tyndal, and most of the other Judges.
The Court was exceedingly crowded, but the excuses
from serving the office were of the usual character,relating
entirely to insufficiency of property, holding commis-
sions in the army or navy, filling public situations, or
of advanced age.

administered to the Privy Councillors and the Judges,
the nomination was proceeded with.

EXERTIONS OF NEY IN THE RETREAT FROM
Moscow.—At length we were out of that accursed
country, the Russian territory. The Cossacks no
longer pursued us with the same ardour. In propor-
tion as we advanced into the Prussian territory we
found better quarters and more resources. The first
place at which we were able to take breath was Wffico-
viski ; and the next Gurnbinnen, where I put up at the
house of a physician, which I had occupied when I
passed through the town before. Some excellent
coffee bed just been brought us for breakfast, when a
man in a brown greatcoat entered ; and he had a long
beard, his face was blackened, and looked as if it were
burnt ; his eyes were red and brilliant. "At lengt i
Generall am here," said he. " Why! Dumas, don't-
you know me ?" "No ; who are you then ?"_
