DRURY-LANE Tfl EATRE.

Some of our .Conte:nporaries have taken notice
of Miss STANLEY'S appearance last night in the
Revenge. What object Managers may hare in
not more frequently introducing this actress to
the public, is not easily to be ascertained ;
that Theatre must be singularly supplied with
talents which can dispease with such as were ob,
vious in her Leonora. Nature has been prodigal
to this young person--a countenance powerfully
expressive, a full and vivid eye, a figure of singular
grace mi.glit atone for feebler -conceptions than
those which, last night, so finely struggled in
I►er lip and and farm.. have room but to
n►entao❑ a single•'scene, that of the Bowm—
Lconarq, rising from sleep, finds her husband •
startled, and conflicting with his determination
to murder her. For the first moment this ad,
mirable actress seemed insensible to every feel.,
hig but the delight of meeting him. She was
recalled to herself by his suspicions, and sprung
hack "from his embrace with the noblest ex-
pression of injured virtue ; in the next moment
'the glow of dignity and pride relaxed, the feeling's
of the bride,came upon her, and she clung to him
with winning and irresistible supplication. Unable
to ►vound the loveliness that knelt before him,
Alonzo drops his dagger and flies. She here. seemed
.overpowered by all that she had heard and 'seen,
and remained as in deep and inward prayer ; her
eye distended but without an object, her lip
half open, her form fixed,—she might have sat
for an exquisite statue of despairing love. '
,sinking to the ground, her hand touched the dag-
ger,—new life seemed to rush upon her; she
grasped it wildly, gazed on it with a look of strong
recognition, raised her eyes to Ileaven, -as if the
fullness of her misfortune bad just opened plain be-
fore her, gave way, burst into distracted tears, and
fainted.' The feeling of the audience may not be
at all.times the most exact criterion of :eminent
ability, but it is seldom widely deceived. As the
scene deepened, even their applause was hushed,
and every attempt• at telling a delight which it
was so natural to tell, was instantly suppressed_
but when she fell, the whole sentiment burst at
once, and rewarded her in . a thunder of ac-
clamation.

The National Intelligener states, that the Ante-
Heap Loan of ten million:dorlarsfor the service of
the present year, was taken at 88 for Ipo dollars
of 6 per cent. stock, being the same tcr-ts on
which the Loan was obtained ; but other accounts
represent this as merely an ostensible bargain,
effected by a secret arrangement bet:i,een the Go-
vernment and some of the large holders of the
former Loan.

The French papers mention that Count VALI-
GIRARD had been appointed Governor of- Marti-
nique; and Admiral LINOIS of Guadaioupe. They
also notice, that a law to secure the liberties of
the presS, and define its privileges, was under the
consideration of the French Legislature.

From its length of preparation, from its costli7-
;less, am! (rain the di`stingniihed rank .of the
personages for whom it, was chiefly designed, it
might,. have been expected to exhibit a magnifi-
cent display of what could be done by. British
anspitality : nor. was this expectation disappoint-.
ed. The company he,t`r,an to assemble' at nine. The
first object for the eve was the illumination in
the Court-yard.. Burlington-house, built by the
first amateur-architect of his day, has been long
esteemed one of the finest specimens of civil
architecture in England. The principal frOtit.
is ornamented with Corint h ion pile. sters, the'
wings are massive, ... and 'a fine colonnade com-
pletes the circle. This .was all ,strniu
initiated. A temporary scaffolding in front of
the principal house entrance was covered. with
lamps, in devices, the Prince's feather in the
centre. The chief rooars for the fete were tem-
porary, and covered with canvas ; o'aut we have sel-
dom seen deeoration more richly or tastefully dis-
posed of. As the company passed to tile daerent
apartments, strons,; surprise, was the natural feel-
ing at the expedition and.skill with which so much
splendour had been produced. The principal rooms
were four. The htill-roont was 'divided-into three
grand walks, by two rows of pillars reaching to the
roof, and covered with white muslin, in large flut-
ings : the cieling was a la marquee, in strong folds,
varied with rosettes of white, from which chande-
liers-hung, and light drapery borders. Ditty-four
immense, white curtains hung from the cjeling,
fastened with pink rosettes, and draped. Thepillars,
from theirlength and lightness,'gave the entire vast
ball a peculiar impression of elegance. A small
recess for the mnsicians was hollowed out at the
OA opposite to the principal entrance;' at the
other extreme a Glory -was- formed: , The whole
roof and sides xvere• covered with, white muslin.
The' floor was chalked in large compartments.;
that at the bead, covered with the British' and
Allied ,Arius; the border and. intertnediat e spaces
deep yellow ; the elertted.plateanx on either side
covered with scarlet cloth. .Thepromenade rooth,
was the next source of attraction. It was lined
throughout with rose-eoloured muslin in, flutes,
its roof grained, and' covered Ivith 'white and
rose-colour. The beauty and effect of this scene,
filled with the . multitude of the first women
in England, all- that was lovely in youth, and
eminent in rank; and rich' in attire, cannot
be adequately described. The Imperial and Royal
Visitors arrived about twelve,- and immediately en-
tered into the spirit of the party. -The Emperor
joined the dance, and even distinguished himself,
by the interest which he seemed to tutee in .this
part of the amusement. The ,King of-Prussia
de-
clined dancing, and ,continued in conversation
and surveying the apartments -with so muCh'de-
cided indulgence, that he did not sit down to sup-
per" till .lo.ng after it had commenced. On the
announcement of supper, the Royal Room was
thrown open for the first time. It was 'grand in;
all its prnportions,--the wails covered with a fine
panoramic painting of the arrival of the Sore-
reigns at Dover,--the roof hting with azure blue.
A platform at the upper end, set apart for the prin-
cipal gnests, represented the quarter-dcek of the
ship in which-they Came over. The Prince's table
was designed for but 24, and covered, with gOld
plate ; on its removal, a service,of glass was set
On, engraved with the arms and cyphers of the-ll-
histrious Strangers. At the sides', and forming
right angles with' the table Were twb others ~for
the- managers' and_ their inimediate friendi. The
sideboard was covered with Old anti sifter plate
in tiers, as. at the Vittoria festival. 'The chandeliers

were of peculiar richness, aria such as to do honour

to the skill of British manufUettire. There were;of
various forms,und sizes, probably not less than -stn
hUadred of tho4e most splendid ornaments in tire
different, halls ; sod from some points or view, the
blaze of almost the entire was at once visible. 'A

Wall of mirror at the eOd-of th'e" Royal Room,"
reflected its whole length. The-Signal .for sup,
per was. given ae two o'clock, and 25_00 pert-
sons sat dotvn to an entertainment not unsuited
ti> the pomp that :was foniul `theta. I Several
hawls, stationed in th'e' halls, and .marquees with-
out, struck op at the moment, and their
performance heightened the illusion of the time.
The temperate habits of the chief Visitors did
not, however, allow this-indulgencelo continue
long. The EmnerOr rose shortly from the table,
and his example was-followed by ille.omPanY•
Ile enterer among the waltzers, on& Continued
to dance with great activity and delight, until the
sun, beaming in, gave an intimation which it is

not among his habits to disobey, an& he retired
between tire and six o'clock, The great majority;
however, kept up the dance., -•and•the rooms were
not totally cleared until • sevea.in the morning,:
There were no toasts, a,tid no singing at st(pper,
As soon as the coMpany had•risen front the table,
the soldiers on duty,. a2detachtnent of the Horge
Guards and infantry, were brought in, and, by a
very considerate and unusual liberality, allowed
to take their share of enjoyment. Front the Da-.
titre of their construction, the apartments were"
peculiarly exposed to fire ; this was, however,
obviated by ' every imaginable contrivance.—
All lights that could interfere with the drape-
ries were prohibited ; the floating of the dra-
peries themselves were restrained as much as was

consistent with grace ; and to •remedy the evil iri
the most secure way; if it Nyfts to occur, fire-en-
gines were placed in communication with a large
reservoir in the gardens, and rows of buckets to

extinguish the first accidental spark, ranged round
the walk:- The tables sparkled with the finest
services of glass, interspersed with plateaux, ban-
ners richly painted, exquisite shrubs, and plate,
all seen. under the light of the most superb and
numerous sets of chandeliers that perhaps have
ever been used on one occasion. I.l'e understand

that some further entertainments are contemplat-
ed before taking down the present structures, and
that the first of these is to be a masked Ball. •

CORN E..CI-IANGE, JUNE 22,—We had. some
fresh arrivals of Oats this morning from Lincoln-
shire, the sale of which was dull at the last quo-
tations; in Wheat there was scarcely any thing
doing, the prices nominally as an Monday; in
Peasiz and Beauty there was no alteration.

LA FELT., InEu.

0 I Friday last, the inhabitants of Paris reeel,r.
ed a communication, informing them of ti e
of march which the Processions of their re.pe::-
tive Parish Churches _should take, , and ordering
them to hang the streets through which they were
to "past, with carpets and tapestry. ~At these, and
especially. thelbrme4, are
.not articles very com-
mon -in many places snbsitutes were
procured; and the streets presented a most singu-
lar-spectacle. By the side of gorgeotis tapestry.,
depended humble blankets, or snow-white.
sheets : here, the -woven heroes of Christia-
nity wielded the sword apinst the infidels
and, there, the divinities of 'nig:mist-1i witnessed
the triumph ,of a Religion, s-which, in its pri-
mitive siaoilieity, destroyed.their glory, and their
power. Wreaths of flowers were suspended front
house to house, and sometimes across the streets.
At regulated distances repesuirs_were erected ‘rith
boughs of trees, which represented a living bower,
and which, loaded with all the blossoms of spring-,
embalmed the air .with sweets. The ground of
these temporary chapels was covered with magni-
ficent carpets, and the
.altar which they con-
tained, beamed forth with tapers. Here the
Host was carried;, and rested when its hearers
were tired. The most splendid of these rE-
posoirs was in the outward hall of the Palace of
the Senate (t he Luxembourg) at the upper end of
the Rue de Thurman,- (one of the wiriest in Paris,
and which, through the demolition of honses and
the_ building of others, now extends in nearly a
straight line, as tar as the river, a distance of at
least a mile). After the usual ceremonies in the
Church, such as the consecration of the Host
during high mass, 8:c. the procession' set mit
from St. Sulpice, at half-past ten in the morn-
ing, and directed its march to the Luxembourg,
through the -rue de _Tournon. Soldiers had been
placed in the streets- to constrain the numerous
spectators, and a- passage, at least forty feet
wide, was left -for the religious pageantry of the
day. The clear and melodious voices of two bun-
dredyoung girls dressed in white, holding in one
hand a prayer-book, and ill the other a flose-
gay, and chat:ming forth hymns, announced its
approach.: They alloyed in files on each side of
the spectators, leaving the. center vacant, and
were-followed by married ladies in the same ac-
coutrements. In the same order, but with still
greater solemnity, clad. in black robes with white
veils, and the superiorstlistinguished by white hats
with large flaps, marched a coasNerable•number
of nuns, caned, Sisters of .Charity., because they
'dedicate , theinselvs to the EserViC:C of the hos-
pitals, and the . visitation and relief of -the poor
and the sicic. To _these succeeded boys, most of
'whom wore the dress of the National Guard; and' -
whose voices united with those of the nuns and
ladies, and the distant and. solemn ehannt of the,
priests whit preceded the Host, produced a pleas-
ing and: impressive harmony. On a Sudden it
ceased, and the loud peals, of military music burst
op the air. Files of. the'. National Guard with
their muskets, and flowers in their hats, were seen-
advancing on the outer edge, on each side of the
people.. in the-interior, moved the young. men
who intend to become priests, clad in the
robes of
.tbeir noviciate, and afterwards the
Suh.deacons- In the -centre was carried the•
banner of the church, with long- ~streamers de-
pending from it, the ends of which- were holden
by four . eafwis de ekettr. The Priests, in.
-their sumptuous velvet and gold embrOidered
dresses, next approached, bearing a large golden
'crucifix, and a splendid eanopy, surmounted with
a profusion of white plumes, appeared at a dis-
tance: As it slowly advanced, the crowds were
seen kneeling on both sides on its passage. Before
it marched 24 novices and en iris de clueur, bold-
ing gglde'n, censers, and -baskets filled with rose
leaves. .At a signal' given by' a Priest with a
wooden book, which lie opened and shut with

a great noise,. they turned round, and formed a
semicirele.beore the canopy, under which stood
the yicai, holding.' a magnificent gold- some-
ti►ing, in the shape of a chimney-piece, the dial,
of consisted of the consecrated wafer. At
n,seeond signal, incense mounted in.clotuts from
the .burning censers,. and rose-leaves purpled and
perfumed the air. A third: :signal restored the.
order of march. lip this manner they arrived at
the first Reposoir ; the Mayor and, all the Au-
thorities in' .their ❑niforms, moving behind the
canopy, followed by a large crowd of peo.
pie of . all ages .and sexes, whilst a strong di-
vision of veteran soldiers closed the procession.
On reaching the Altar, amidSt the peals of mili-
tary music, mixed with the deep and solemn tones
of sacred harmony, the Vicai• first prostrated
himself, then rose, and turning towards the peo-
ple, elevated the Hot. Thc tinkling of a bell
gave' the signal, Aid) the voices of the Officers

repeated, and all the Ladies, the Nuns, the No-
vices, and'Priests, the crowds, and even the sol-

Biers knelt.. In this position the Vi-car blessed
them with the Host, and.the procession resinned
its march to another Reposoii7.

The passengers who have- arrived, by the Pa-
triot from 13oston, have brought advice, that- the
retaliatory hostages ha:l been given up on both
sides.---(M. Post.)

STOCI EXCHANGE HOAX

THE KING 7', DF. BEBENGER, I.OED COCHRANE,. &c.
. The six Deteivieets, De ~erenc,cr, Lord Loch-
rune, Butt,Hollinvay, Sandum,anZLyie, appeared t.
in Court this morniug to receive its sentence.—
The Court, and the averiues.leading to it, were
crowded before ten o'clock
. Mr. Justice La BLANC proceeded to prononnce
the sentence. The six defendants whose names
had been called, 'and who now stood-on the floor
of the Court, had been found guilty of a conspi-
racy to defraud the subject, together with two,
other persons (Cochrane Johnstone and Mellen)
who did not eppear. The indictment and evidence.
had-already been so fully gone into, as to supete-
eede the necessity of minute detail on the present
occasion. The substance of the i.ndietmcat. was, .
that the defendants conseired by means of false
rumours, to promote the rise of the.' funds on a
particular day, for the purpose of defrauding
those who might become purchasers on the 21st
Of February. Shortly before the conspiracy was
brought to maturity, three. of tie defendants in
particular, Lord Cochrane, Mr. Holloway, and Mr.
lintt, hail been very. large purchasers of Consols
and Omuinni ; so that it became a matter of '1
great importance to them to promote a .rise in
the price of the funds,; and thiS they•did by those
means which formed the conspiracy, •selling the
whole of what they possessed on the morning
of the day on which the plot was carried
ihto -execution. The Learned -.ledge then de-
tailed at some length the chief features of the
plot, as (key developed themselves on the trial.
The chief agent in the plot, .the pretended .Du
Bourg, was identified by witness after witness,
tracing him step by step from Dover to Lambeth
i.n tne chaise, thence to the house of Lord Coch-
rane, and that too the very dress worn all the
way, in the person of Air. De. Berenger. It also
had been clearly proved that De Berenger not only
went to Lord,Cochvane's house in the scarlet dress,
which he had worn at and .front Dover, but that
be .changed the dreis which he then .had on in the
resence, and with-the privity of Lord Cochrane.,
his Lordship lending •him a coat and hat, This
circumstance, together with. the sale of all the
stock on that particular morning, made "the facts"
very suspicious.;. and those particulars, added to
the fact of De-Bereager having money'in his-pos-
session, which had Originally-collie" from Coch-
rane Johnstone' and Lord Cochrane, could not
have been the result of accident. If they
been result of accident, -Why had they: not ac-
daunted for, as they were of a nature not inca-
pable of such procif if it existed?: ;The
,coinci-
dence of circumstances was such, ttat it required,
most satisfactory proof to raise even aelotifie in
the mind of any one ; but not •one of them had
been so accounted for as to, raise a doubt in the:
breasts of the Court, that it ws not as repre--
sented in the• evidence , on the trial. " All the
circumstances "adduced against the
.parties 'Were
of so satisfectory a nature, that the Court contd.
.
not but agree with the Jury, that theyewere cone'
elusive- of the, guilt of the defendants. Time-con-
spiracy had been wickedly and ingeniously con-
trived, planned with much deliberation, and eke-;
cute(' with much circumspection and cunning.
Being done to put nioney.into the poc4ets of the.
defendatits, it became an offence of a nicteittfa-'
mous nature ; and its irilanty'.was'such a's'to ;call
loudly on the,Court to inflict punishment' propoy-.
tionate to its enormity. It was painful to the
Court to advert to ;,those circumstances- of ag-
gravation which had characterised thb conduct of
some of the defendants during the trial iti..parti-
cular ; but it was, still more painful to them:.
to revert to one of- theme, who ought to have.
had . a mind too honourable e and far above
the capability to conceive such low, degrading,.
and infamous designs to increase., wealth.-e-The
Noble Lord in particular ought to have. been
above, much above such base transactions, even
as gambling in the funds : but the "Court' knew
not in what terms to speak of the infamous trend
to which- he had lent himself. Whatteer might
be said or thought of the °hee dthudants, the
Noble Lord ought better to have known his dutyi
he was of higher, much higher rank and honottr,
and as there was the leis temptation to be greedy •
•f wealth, guilt fell heaviest on him. In belle-
renger's cese the Court knew nothing of
the attempt made at the trial- to delude- the Judge'
and Jury with the belief that he could ;not have
been the pretended De Bourg, because he was
in London late on the -Sunday night.' Al-
though the time ha? -elapsed for granting a new •
trial, time Court had still felt anxious to hear what
the Noble Lord in particular could urge. in be
bait of such a proceeding.; but all that-was ad-
duced was, that one of his Lordship's servants
had not been examined f'ar enough, and that ano-
ther had not been examined at all, respecting the
colour of the- coat worn by De Revenger when
be went to Lord Cochrane'a hortac. .Most
likely time Counsel 1;0' exercised a wise dis-
cretion, in not itxthilitirig his Loetiship's ser7-
tants as to the colon'. of the coat mini by De
Berenger, when his Lordship still maintained
thatit was greets, although a host
.Of witnesses,
from Dover to Green-street, swore that it
was
_red ; nor, admitting that the coat. Worn
by De- Berenger was green, time dress of a 'vo-
lunteercorps, which' it would not seem remark.-
able to wear, had there been sheWn any'probable
or rational cause for changing such unithrin. The.
offence was of great magnitude', and the.-persons
