Leipsic, and is ardently loved by a young soldier, narn. e
George ; the attachment is mutual. In order to try th...
strength of the lady's love, the Grand Duchess Wilbal
new
mina, the sister of George, (who in reality is the Prince
Christian) falls upon an expedient, practised to a certain
extent by Shakspeare himself in one of his comedies. Ro-
sine is made to fall asleep by the admixture of some potio
or another in wine which she has drank. Somnolent, she
is carried to the Ducal Palace ; when she awakes she finds
herself invested with all the authority of the Princess Maria;
she is of course confounded ; but being attended so magni-
ficently and obsequiously, she allows herself in the end to be-
lieve she is in very deed a princess. Under this happy delusion,
the addresses of the Margrave of Gothenburg (Mr. Ree'o3)
are paid to her ; first love, however, cannot be got over by
the tinsel and orders of this august and imposinr, suitor.
In the second act we have Rosine again as the sempstress
in Madame Werner's, and quite crazy with 14.1 e recollection
of her former grandeur, which, by the bvP,, only excites the
laughter and pity of her female assoc;.-ates. In the midst of
their jeers, the Grand Duchess erters, and proclaims Rosine
to be a real Princess. She returns to the palace, and pre-
pares for a public ent; ; George, her lover, appears on
guard ; the Prins:ess stops—she gazes on the soldier--
" those eyesl" " that voice!" for the sentinel speaks--
" yes! yes ! it must be he the soldier is clasped in
the arms of the Princess. Struck with her attachment, be
throws off his disguise, and, es usual, the parties are mar-
ried, Mrs. Yates played with great bouyancy and naivete
as Rosine—it is a character well adapted to her peculiar
abilities. Mrs. Stirling sustained the part of a lace-worker,
and dressed and looked the character admirably. Slight
hissings marked the progress of the piece, and at the fall
of the curtain disapprobation was manifested. Mr. Yates
came forward to announce the piece for repetition. As
soon as his voice could be heard, he addressed the audience
to the following effect :—" Ladies and Gentleman, this el
Off, off,' so seldom greets my ears, that I hardly know
how to meet it. But before you confirm your condemna-
tion of the piece just presented to you, allow me, in justice
to the author, to offer a few words by way of explanation.--
(Applause.) There may have been some imperfections"--
(A voice in the pit, " The piece is bad.") " Ladies and gen-
tlemen, before you arrive at that conclusion, it will be but
fair that you should hear the words of the author, which
to-night, I grieve to say, you have not.—(Applause.)

low the piece to be repeated to-morrow night, and I engage
that you shall then have it played perfectly—by somebod):-
The last two words were uttered with marked emphasis
The good humour of the audience was restored, the ex-
planation was accepted, and Mr. Yates retired amidst gene-
ral applause. It was supposed that the manager, in his
address, alluded to Mr.Reeve,who, though as usual very laur

he depended upon his powers of extemporaneous
and did not burden his memory much with what the anther
set down for him. The part, we believe, was originally'
written for Mr. Buckstone. The great support of the
burletta last night was Mrs. Yates ; and we have little
doubt that, on its second appearance, it will meet with
more favourable reception. dialogue,

Last night Vestris added two new pieces to her dram
repertoire, both of which were very favourably receive
The first is entitled, He would be an Actor, and is from th!,
pen of the talented Charles Mathews, jun. This ven
agreeable trifle evidently owes its production at the OlYin;
pie Theatre to Mr. Mathews's souvenirs of a sprightly vilt!
deville, in which Perlet somewhile since delighted us, eritl
tied, Le Comedien d'Etampes. There were some go°
points and witticisms in the piece, which were well aPPre.
elated by the audience. The Greens were personated bY
Mr. J. Vining and Mr. Conquest, of the Victoria Theatre,
(who made his first appearance here), in humourous style,
and Mrs. Orger played the part of the slighted Mrs. Creel
with her usual talent and success. The burletta of the
Olympic Devils concluded the entertainments. The has°
was crowded with a fashionable audience.

In consequence of an advertisement which appeared
in the columns of yesterday's Morning Chronicle, and 1,
which the name of Lord Duncannon is announced as °n;
of the directors of a weekly journal, (the Englishman),
think it necessary to apprise our readers that his Lords°s
has already disclaimed any such connection with the jour au
in question ; and we have full authority for repeating 5"
disclaimer.

Yesterday was settling day in the Foreign Stock Mar:
