DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

After the comedy of She Stoops to Conquer, a new
drama, entitled The Indian Gi, 1, was produced at this
house on Saturday night. This production belongs strictly
to the melo-dramatic class, and the scene is laid in a British
settlement in America, where resides, under the name of
Winthrop, Major Goffe (Mr. Cooper), one of the exiled
Judges of the unfortunate King Charles. Ten years before
the commencement of the drama, an incursion had been
made on the plantation by the Red Indians, who had almost
entirely destroyed it ; and, to crown a long catalogue of
barbarities, had borne off a young child, the daughter of
Major Goffe. Under this calamity he is still suffering in-
tensely when three Englishmen arrive, the one, Cloudesly,
(Mr. J. S. Balls), in search of " the ideal ;" the other two,
Langton and Nasehy, cavaliers, bearing a warrant for the ap-
prehension of the regicide, an,' anxious to secure the reward
offered for his head. Their arrival is the first incident in the
drama. The attack of the Indians and the fate of the girl are
communicated incidentally to Cloudesly by her sister Rose
Winthrop (Mrs. Ternan) and he determines accordingly to
proceed to the woods, in the hope of discovering some
traces of the lost one. Arrived there, he is seized by the
Indians, who had been engaged in devising another mid-
night assault upon the settlement, and is on the point of
being shot when a girl (Mademoiselle Celeste) whose com-
plexion betokens no current of Indian blood in her veins,
rushes in, and by the exercise of the powerful authority
which she appears to possess, saves his life. In his pre-
server Cloudesly instantly recognises the lost daughter of
the exile. In the -meantime Reuben, the son of Captain
Bradford, the Governor of the plantation, having over-
heard the secret counsels of the Indian chiefs, had, with a
hotly of the settlers, surrounded their camp. The Indians
are defeated, their chieftain is taken prisoner, and the
" white girl," 'with her infant child, found in the camp, is
led to the house of her father. In vain is every effort made
to recal her to a recollection of things and persons formerly
cherished in her memory and affections ; she cannot utter the
words of her native tongue ; she sighs only to regain the li-
berty of the woods. At length, however, her sister, on the
verge of despair, sings to her a song which had been the de-
light of her childhood. The sounds of her favourite air imme-
diately attract her attention ; sh;.- appears at first thought-
ful, then agitated ; ber'demeanour betokens the progress
of violent mental conflict ; a thousand confused re-
collections seem to crowd upon her ; she gazes around, ex-
claims hysterically, "My father," and faints. In the next
act, Narramattah (the Indian name of the girl) is reco-
vering rapidly her recollection of things long past, when the
sight of the Indian chief whom she avows to be her hus-
band roan's all her Indian associations, but these are again
dispelled, and, at a propitious moment, for the two cavaliers
had designed to secure her father's person in a secret pas-
sage witAt led into the woods, and for that purpos:Yoffered
her her liberty if she would bs: their guide. She appears
to consent, but takes an opportunity to thrust one of them
into a well, and, having secured the warrant in the posses-
sion of the other, seizes = rifle and shoots hint. Again the
procession conducting the Indian to the scene of his punisb-
ment, passes before the eyes of the half-wild, half-civilized
girl : hastily sbe lodotits it, and reaches the wood just as the
fatal sbot•had been fired. The chieftain dies, and the heart
of the Indian wife is broken ; but in that moment she for-
gets not entirely the affections of her childhood—she knows,
those by whom she is surrounded ; she titters the words,
" Father !" " Sister!" and falls down dead by the side of
her husband. Such are the materials of the present pro-
duction ; and there is in their main feature a sufficient de-
gree of novelty to render them attractive ; but it is neces-
sary that they should be circumscribed within a narrower
space. The music by Mr. Eliason does credit to his taste.
The whole affair has been " got up" with considerable
care, and will probably enjoy a more than ordinary share of
success. The house,was respectably attended.

AUGSBURG, OCT. 24.—We have just received from our
correspondent at St. Petersburg, long extracts from two
bulletins of General \Veljieminow, Commander-in-Chief of
the detached corps of the Caucasus, to the Al:nister. of
War, relative to the late successes of the Russian troops
against the mountaineers of the Caucasus. They are
chiefly concerning several wars and sanguinary actions in
the neighbourhood of Aschilta, in which both parties
fought with valour and obstinacy. The last combat, on
the 28th of June, continued for twenty-four hours in tor-
rents of rain, and the Russian troops, though victors, were so
fatigued that they were unable to pursue the flying enemy,
and encamped near Aschilta. The castle of one of the
Circassian chiefs, named.. Sclamil, situated two wersts above
Aschilta, on the river Kors, was stormed, after the
bravest resistance of the Circassians. In this combat
as well as in the previous storming of Aschilta, the loss of
the Russians in officers was considerable. In consequence
of the success of the Russian arms, several districts have
submitted and given hostages.

bution of commemorative medals took place, as has been al-
ready mentioned, and was indeed a most joyful ceremony.
