ENGLISH OPERA- HO US E.—Ye,tmlay evening be-
ing the concludirimb night of the season, and for tho benefit
of its worthy and highly-respected treasurer, Mr. Peake,
was performed, for the first time at this theatre, Rophino
Lacy's version of Auber's opera of Fin Diavolo. Miss
Romer on this occasion resumed her performance of Zer-
lino, aad in her several songs acquitted herself with her
accustomed excellence. Miss P. Horton performed Lady
Allcash, and, with Duruset, who played his Lordship ex-
celleatly, very gracefully, executed the sprightly and agree-
able air, " I do object." Mr. Frazer's Fra Diavolo, though
not the best that we have seen, was very passable, and,
with Seguin's Giacomo and Stansbury's Beppo, came in for
its due maed of approbation. The delightful concerted
pieces of this opera were effectively aided by the choristers
of Drury-lane Theatre, and the whole was received with
great applause. The opera was followed by the farce of
The Irish Tutor, in Vi Ilia Mr. Power played Doctor
O'Toole, and introduced " The Grovos of Blarney." Need
we add that both were received with the greatest favour ?
A " musical olio ". succeeded the farce; and the nautical
txtravnanza of 'Lire Spitfire concluded the evening's en-
tertainments,- which afforded general satisfaction to a gen-
teel and crowded house.

EAST INDIA DocKs.—A Half-yearly Gentral
Meeting of the Proprietors of the above Ducks was held
on Wednesday, the 27th instant, at their house in Leaden-
-11.31-street, when a dividend of three per cent was declared
on the capital stock of the Company, for the half year
ending on the 29th instant. There being no other business
'o t ansact, the meeting broke up.
ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY BY A POLICEMAN.--
A considerable sensation has taken place at Battersea in
consequence of a daring attempt to burglariously enter the
residence of William Constable, E.q., a gentleman of
fortune residing at Battersea, by Edward Winks, a po-
liceman of the V division, No. 123. On Wednesday the
accused underwent an examination before the Magistrates
Wandsworth, when Mr. Constable was present. The
accused has been in the force some time, and up to the pre-
sent serious charge has maintained a tolerably good character.
On Sunday last six of the servants of Mr. Noreliffes,
of the Spread Eagle, Hanging-ditch, were taken ill about
an hour after partaking of dinner composed of fresh hashed
meat and potatoes, which had been stewed in a pitcher in
the oven that morning. They all complained of pain in
the stomach, attended with vomiting, giddiness, and wild-
tress of the countenance, which gave them every reason to
believe that poison had been administered to them. Mr.
Harrison, surgeon, of Piccadilly, was immediately sent for,
and remained with them several hours, and after prescribing
the usual remedies, he declared them out of immediate
longer. The chamber-maid and under ostler are still very
‘ll, and are considered to be in a precarious state, Strong
suspicions are attached to an individual, but no positive clue
has yet been discovered.—Manchester Guardian.
On IVonday last, at Kirk Michael, in a fie!d belong-
Ong to Thomas Cain, weaver, a stack of peas, thatched and
oofed , and of an uncommon situ, was 413E11411y lifted off
the ground by a hurricane, and carried into the air for up
wards of 160 yards. The inhabitants were much alarmed,
many supposing. it to be a flying mountain. Neither the
ropes nor the thatch were distte.bed, but the geese, ducks,
end poultry (of every desciiption)flew in all directions, and
nany have net returned to their former places. The stack
can be seen from the Nitre hotel, as it fell qpq'n'the po!
tatp-field.—Naptc rql!
