ENULISTI °PURA. 110 use.—A very crowded
audience were last night again attracted by the
terrc charms of Der Frieschutz; but we may
reasonably conclude, however, that the new Mu•
sical Afterpiece of The Reign of Twelve Hours
had no slight influence upon public curiosity.
This agreeable dramatic Piece is so well sepport-
ed by the two chief performers, BARTLEY
and MISS KELLY, that it is likely to be-
come one of the chief favourites of the sea-
son. Nourma is an improvement upon Roxu•
lana, possessing the spirit of that character,
but blended with the most amiable qualities and
the most benevolent intentions. It is exactly
adapted to the talents of Miss KELLY, from whom
it receives all possible justice. The good sense
and manly feeling of Ilmurt.xY also affords all
requisite importance to the Caliph.
THE LATE QUEEN or PRUSSIA.--A Lettev,
dated Charlottenburg, July 20, published in the
last Hamburgh Papers, says—" It would seem
that with each revolving year there is a decided
increase in the number of those who come to the
Mausoleum at Charlottenburg, to do homage to
the memory of her late Most Gracious Majesty
of PRUSSIA. Yesterday was the anniversary of
the demise of this most excellent Princess : the
melancholy event was communicated accordingly
here. We most assuredly report within the truth
when we say, that above 3,000 carriages and
upwards of 20,000 individuals visited Charlotten-
burg. Early in the morning their Royal High-
nesses the Crown Prince and the Crown Prin •
cesses (who at present occupy the chambers of
Frederick the Great at Sans Souci) with the other
Princes and the Princess Louisa,. visited the
sacred resting place of the Queen's remains.—
Their affecting deportment was such as seemed to
say—Mdst amiable' of thy sex,—to thy children
ever will thy memory be most dear.
The King of SWEDLN has lately received from
the well-known IsMAEL GIBRALTAR, in Egypt, a
present of a most valeable Arabian stone, with a
Turkish sabre, richly mounted in gold, and orna-
mented with diamonds.
A COUNTRY CRICKET MATCH.—IO that in-
imitable work, Our Village, by Miss MITFORD,
among numerous other faithful pictures of rural
life, is an admirable sketch under the above
title—a sketch, although luxuriantly coloured,
possessing a degree of truth and keeping appa-
rent to all who have either participated in the
soul-enlivening exercise, or watched the efforts of
the contending parties. " Who would think,"
exclaims the author, after describing the pleasur-
able emotions of the winners at the conclusion of
the game, " that a little bit of leather and two
pieces of wood had such a delightful power ?"
None, indeed, but those.who had ocular demon-
stration of it ; and yet we " doubt (to quote the
anthor's words again) if there be any scene in the
world more animating or delightful than a cricket
match."
