CHARLES KEtant.r.'s visit to Germany is not
merely to have an interview with W Luca, on the
subject of re-producing Der Freischutz at Covent
Garden Theatre, but also to endeavour to ar-
range for the English stage other Operas of the
came great and extraordinary character. The
celebrated Zaubejlote, of MozAuT, originally
produced a wonderful effect throughout Germany.
ELLISTON is said to have engaged several per-
sons of genuine fn and frolic, from a company of
liarlequinades, at Rotterdam Fair, who are to
produce a new Spectacle and Pantetnime, as
early novelties during the ensuing season at Drury-
Lane.

Mr. KHAN, with his usual liberality, played
for the benefit of the English company ut Bou-
logne ; his name drew an excellent house ; the
receipts were P 250 francs.
A Lady who had Just been three days mar-
ried; perceiving her husband enter, stole secretly behind him
and gave him a kiss. The husband was angry, and said she
offended against decency. Pardon me, exclaimed she, I did
not Joknow It WAS you !

The follovthig is an extract of a letter dated
" Deal, Friday afternoon, half-past four o'clock :—The
body of the unfortunate gentleman who was washed overboard
from the steam-packet, nine days ago, has just been brought
ashore by a boat's crew, from one of the men-of war lying in the
Downs; it appears much swollen ; one of the shoes and part
of the stocking was washed away—the foot bare; the white
trowsers are likewise apparently torn or chaffed from the knees,
as if caused by struggling against some rough substance. The
blue coat, and the watch ►n his fob, with a riband nearly
new, tut no seals, appeared perfect. His he►►d was bald, and
the little hair which I saw was black. It was but a mo-
mentary sight, rim- as soon as he was dragged ashore, Mr.
Curling, agent to Lloyd's, with a laudable anx►ety, stripped off
his coat, covered the corpse, and had him conveyed to the dock-
yard upon a truck. The Deal men are disappointed, the body
having been picked up by men-of-war's-mcn deprives them of
the reward expected.'

'ALARMING ACCIDENT.— Yesterday evening,
an alarming occurrence took place above bridge.
As a boat, filled with a number of persons,
was proceeding towards Chelsea, at dusk,
it was suddenly met by another boat passing
down the river,which instantly rowed over the for-
mer, by which accident the boat in a few minutes
filled with water, and the company plunged
into the element. At this moment the utmost
confusion ensued, but owing to ►he speedy
exertions of themselves, with prompt assistance
from other boats assembled, we are happy to
learn that no lives were lost, nor di►d any per-
son receive the slightest injury more than a se-
vere ducking.

THE DIORAMA.
We had the pleasure of attending a private
view of this surprising and beautiful Exhibition.
on Saturday, which naturally attracted at the
same time, many of our distinguished Artists acid
Amateurs. Our Readers will remember the high,
commendation which we bestowed on the Die-
eAsii of last year, and which the approbation of
the Public at large fully confirmed. The present
Exhibition consists of two Views ; one of the in-
terior of the Cathedral of Chartres, and the other
of the Harbour of Brest. The former is cer-
tainly the most attractive of the two. The architec-
tural precision and beauty of the Cathedral of Char-
tres actually exceed that of Canterbury Cathedral
exhibited last year. The delusion is so. corn-
plete, that it is impossible to distinguish from,
reality. The massy pillars, the choir, the kneel-
ing figures, the bas-reliefs, the light and shadow
diffused over the whole, produce an impressioa
that passes from the eye to the mind, and excite
sympathetic feelings of devotion._ What renders
this admirable work of art more extraordinary, is,
that we are positively assured, there is no trans-
parency in the scene, but all is effected by the
skill of the artists, Messrs. BonToN and DA-
GUEUR E. The other view, representing the
harbour of Brest, is less interesting to the ge-
neral spectator, but operates equally upon the
mind with an impression of reality. It convey
the imagination to the spot, avid the variety of
objects introduced, and judiciously relieved,ou-
cupy the mind with the ideas which it is intended
to excite, as the other does by objects of a dif-
ferent description. The great merit of these
works renders it unnecessary for us to recom-
mend them to public attention, as their intrinsic
excellence will doubtless be found sufficiently
attractive.
