ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The interesting
Opera of Inkle and Yarico, so well dramatized
by the younger COLMAN, from the story in The
Spectator, originally derived from Lrootv's ac-
count of Barbadoes, was last night brought for-
ward in a Manner creditable to the Theatre as
well as to the composition. Miss KELLY, who
possesses talents for the humorous and the pathe-
tic of a high order, gave a very interesting repre-
sentation of Yarico. BARTLEY, in the Governor,
was equal to any former representative of the
character. Miss POVEY was lively and diverting
in JVowsky. The part of Trudge suited very
well with the dry waggery of WILKINSON'.
ttowaoTH.Am, a judicious actor in general, was
respectable in Inkle, and indeed the whole of the
Opera was so well supported as to warrant the
very favourable manner in which it was re-
ceived by a numerous audience. The Over-
ture of this Opera is highly creditable to the
late Dr. ARNOLD, one of those native com-
posers whose science and taste do honour
to the country. His original airs in the piece
are marked by the same qualities, and the others
are selected with correspondent judgment. It is
gratifyir'g to see the son of this excellent musi-
cian in possession of a Theatre which enables
him to indulge the feelings of filial reverence, and
at the same time to pay homage to departed
genius, by the revival of a very interesting and
diverting drama.

The English actors at Paris having announced
the comedy of John 13u11 for representation, re-
ceived the following invitation, as it is styled, to
the Manager :

" am informed that the piece called John Bull, to be
represented this evening by the English players under your
management, is a gross farce, and might produce bad effects.
1 invite you, in consequence, to change the performance, and
substitute a less indecent piece. Receive, &c. &c.
" The Prefect of Police,
" G. DE LAVAU."

Mrs. GIBBS and Mr. W. FARREN are playing,
at the Brighton Theatre. The latter concluded his engage-
ment on Saturday.
Report says, that the treaty between Mr. RAY-
NER, of Yorkshire celebrity, and the Managers of Covent-
garden Theatre, has been abruptly broken off; and that that
Gentleman has received an ofkr, on liberal terms, from the
Manager of a popular minor Theatre..
Mr. KEAN is completely recovered from his
severe indisposition, and performed the part of Shylock on
Tuesday evening, at the Glasgow Theatre, for the benefit of
Miss BYRNE.

TALMA, in Regulus, continnes to attract all
Paris. His strong resemblance in countenance and manner to
the late EMPEIton is no trifling aid to him; entre nous, some
of the plaudits bestowed upon the great actor are supposed to
be intended as expressions of regard for the great warrior and
state mar, now no more.

THE Cuast OF MIMICRY.—We know not that
any connection can be traced between the arts of mimicry
and the legs, that might be supposed to injure the latter,
but it is a singular fact, that many who have excelled in that
amusing art have been lame. The celebrated FoorrE,
every body knows, had a cork leg. BANNISTER, who in his
day was a most admired mimic, was generally crippled by
the gout. MATHEWS met with an accident some years ago,
which added a limping gait to his peculiarities. This furnished
a very striking feature in VATEs's imitation of the mimic.
YATES lately had the misfortune to break his leg at Vauxhall,
which will perhaps enable him in future to
.copy the walk of
MATHEWS with even less effort than heretofore ; and poor
IVALtacx., who amused the public at Brighton with some
laughably correct imitations, is now unfortunately on the lame
list, from having fractured his leg in America. It is not a little
to be regretted, that the art so intimatelyconneeted with the
prosperity of FooT-E should be thus repeatedly associated with
miscarriages of leg.
The concerts given at t e Maniion-house, on
Tuesday, by Signor Spagrioletti, leader eFf the Opera, in Lon-
don, and under the patronage of the Earl of Scarborough, af-
forded a treat to musical amateurs of the highest description.—
On the performance of persons of such ;celebrity as Madame
Ronzi de Begnis, Signora Oraziani, -Signor de I3egnis, Signor
Torri, Mr. Kellner, and Signor SPagnoletti, any
.comment
seems unnecessary. Such an assemblage of . transcendent mu:.
sical talent seems requisite to give effect to the grand and ela-
borate compositions of the Italian school, and, from the rap-
turous applauses of an audience, no less distinguished by cul-
tivated taste than high rank, •we were happy to see such talent
justly appreciated.—( Doncaster Gazette.)
RUTIIIN CASTLE.— The lion. FREDERICK
WEST is building a splendid mansion on the ruins of this
fortress. The grand entrance to the house is finished, and,
judging from this, we apprehend the style will be that of
the Anglo-Norman, intermixed with the finishing to the
towers peculiar to the Saracens, and which was introduced
into this country by the Crusaders ; of course, the whole is
irregular, like Lord Dungannon's seat at Brynkinnaullt, and
Lady ynne's, at Hawarden. The whole of the grounds
are encircled by a strong castellated wall ; and the entrance
lodge opening to Castle-streetis a singularly neat and appro-
priate building. The intended apartments will be very ca-
pacious; and the views from the summit of the castle are
grand and magnificent, forming .a complete panorama of
the adjoining country for many miles, and certainly su-
perior to any other in the vale of Clwyd. The rooms
are beautifully finished in painted oak, and the whole is
executed in a very workmanlike manner. In clearing
away the rubbish from the outer court, a subterrane-
ous passage has, been discovered, about twenty-five inches
wide, and five feet eight or ten inches high, supported by
pointed arches, all in high preservation. It probably led to
some secret retreat outside the. walls, and had a communi-
cation with thejnner balium, or keep. There is an oblong
dungeon, to which a flight of steps leads near to the entrance
of the passage.. Some time ago, atlCleßVllletal spur was
found, which is how in the possesigon of Mr. West.
