ACCIDENT TO TIIE AGED KING OF SWEDEI4'-':
STOCKHOLM, Juty 10.—On the 6th in the evening, the King .oent:r
Latagaidsfeld to inspect the Dragoons, which. were to return to ,
homes on the 7th. After the examination of the troops was concliu%
to his Majesty's satisfaction he rode to Rosendoht, where he mounte(lo
fresh horse, to return to the city. The King had never before rode II"
horse, which began at Framnas to be turmanageable, and ran awwir
and the King, being unable to stop it, turned it towards a paling-4';
closure in a meadow. The horse, running against the paling, thre`
the King several fret into the meadow on the other side. His Majesty
mounted another horse, and soon arrived at the Palace. On examine'
tion it appeared that the shoulder was dislocated. 'l4;ough the inedif„a,
men agreed that the case was serious, it appears from the bulletins tr_
his Majesty has had a pretty good night, that there is no fever, and that
the pain has considerably abated.—Hamburg Papers, .1,67 17.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Lord Burghersh's Its'
Tian opera, 11 Throes, was performed at this theatre last right. 11:,e
characters v ?ere reprvsented by Mr. Stretton, Mrs. Bishop, Signor Ivs'
oft,
and Mil sP. Wyndham; the band was led by Mr. F. Cramer; ,"
Lucas acted as conductor ; and the orchestra and chorus were comP°'
ue
of the studs nts, associates, and professors of the Royal Academy °
Music. The, piece is an interesting tale of chivalry, poetically written
and well ads] 'ted to musical effects; and the noble composer has P°i•
only shown t imself to be possessed of imagination and feeling, but °
I,
the power of,exprcssing and combiniisg his ideas with the skill and Abed
lity of an arti st. The music has a freshness—a natural and unaffeet
flow of ineloi ly, which is delightful from its graceful facility; and the
choruses, in particular, are exceedingly effective from their broad and
simple harm: hies. The piece was very well performed. Mrs. BishrTt;
who made her first appearance on the stage, exhibited a gra7e and frcedo
of motion, anti an energy of action, which are generally the result of lots
practice. Ivanoff sang exquisitely; and Stretten and Miss Wyndba":
exerted themsidves very effectively. The chorus was correct and powert
ful, and the orchestra, after that of the Italian Opera-house, the strong 74,
and best we have ever heard in an English theatre. The opera was warr°
received by a very fashionable audience. Many of the
pieces were e"•
cored, and the curtain fell amid loud and prolonged applause.
A few days ago a servant, wishino to destroy Several
newly.bern puppies, buried them alive In a hole in a garden, and cover
them over with earth. Thirty six hours afterwards a young medic'
student, being curious to ascertain if the poor animals were dead, Pri,°;
ceciled to their exhumation, wilco they found alive and well, with.t.
exception of one, which was almost dead. " This example," a
,a,
lived
temporary observes, " added to the instance of the Hindoo who ,*
after an interment of three weeks, and to the numerous cases of Inineir
who have bean found alive after being buried for eight or ten days, would
nt-
lead to the supposition that some unknown agent exists in the bowel'
the earth, capable of prolonging the sufferings of the victima of PreciPl
•
tate interment."
Mrs. Trollope describes the " Gloria in excelsis,e
as performed in the cathedral at ins ruck to be so magnificent thaLth
silver
first grand burst produced a vibration in the air so great that the so'
lamps which hung suspended from the roof 'sere distinctly put in via'
tiun by it."
