" PRESBURG, MARCH 24.—The debates in the
Hungarian Diet have hitherto been on subjects of
no general interest, except a resolution lately adopted
by one of the Chambers, to grant to individuals of
every religious persuasion in Hungary the same
rights as are enjoyed by the professors of the Ca-
tholic religion. It was remarkable to hear the re-
solution chiefly advocated by Catholics, though it
was vehemently opposed by the Catholic clergy,
and rejected by the Chamber of Magnates. The
second chamber was, however, not satisfied with
this rejection, and has again sent up the motion to
the Magnates. It is hoped, thus supported by high
protec. ion, it will pass them also.
" FRONTIERS OF POLAND, MARCH 19.-It is said
that Prince Paskewitsch has been senimoned to St.
Petersburgh to be consulted on the state of Poland,
it being intended to make some changes in the ad-
ministration of the country. The urgent representa-
tion of France and England seems to have contri-
buted to this resolution. It wi'l be impossible at
once to repair all the evils that have been occasioned
since 1830; but by acting on milder principles, and
giving relief to those points of the kingdom which
suffer the most severely, the country may gradually
recover. It cannot soon expect its manufactures to
flourish, for with great privileges, which must injure
the infant manufactures of Russia, the Polish manu-
factures can hardly come in competition with the
Russian ; and as the kingdom cannot expect to be
favoured in this way, its only remaining source of
profit is agriculture, which the Government means
to support to the utmost of its power. It is said
that the Emperor Nicholas will come to Warsaw in
May, and that therefore everything is to be done
to allay irritation, and to remove everything that
may call the revolution to mind. The Russian
troops are to change their cantonments next month,
and to remove to a greater distance from the western
frontier. Their number in Poland is said to be now
84,000 men, with 190 pieces of cannon. The grippe
rages in Warsaw, especially among the military,
General Witt, who has the chief command during
the absence of Prince Paskewitsch, has been at-
tacked by it. Many of the Russian provinces, par-
ticularly Moscow and St. Petersburgh, have been
severely visited by it.
" We hear that the tribunal at Cette has now
come to a decision respecting the events at Oste-
rode, and that Doctors Konig and Freytag are con-
demned to several years' imprisonment. However,
as they have the right of appeal, it may be expected
that they will make use of it.

GREENWICH FA [R.--This favourite place
of resort of the holyday folks was, perhaps, never so well
attended as it was yesterday. The Park was crowded
with gay I ids and lasses in their best gear, who amused
themselves as usual by running and rolling down the
famous One Tree-hill. The various booths in the fair
were well attended, and the houses of entertainment were
crammed with guests. The road from I.Vestrnin4ter to
Greenwich presented a gay and animated appearance, from
the immense number of persons proceeding on foot and in
vehicles to the scene of hilarity and amusement. Coaches,
flys, and carts laden with passengers, followed each otl er
in quick succession. The river, during the whole day,
presented a most interesting spectacle ; it was literally
covered with small boats, containing freights of smiling
faces bending their way to the fair. The steamers had
much difficulty in passing up and down the stream, owing
to the immense number of small craft. To avoid danger
their speed was slackened. The weather was most pro-
pitious, the sun shone forth in all its splendour, and a
gentle breeze rendered the day still more delightful.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.

The Easter performances at this theatre last night were
Robert the Devil, and The _Maid of Cashmere. The
former was a revival, with the advantage of Meyerbeer's
original music, which, as a whole, struck us as being sin-
gularly heavy and elaborate. The scene of the rained
cemetery by moonlight, with the reanimation of the dead
nuns, was, however, as effective as ever. It is unques-
tionably the most striking stage effect we have ever wit-
nessed. The following were the alterations in the cast of
the piece:—Mrs. Woon, instead of her former part of
the Norman Maiden, assumed that of the Princess, so
inadequately sustained last season by Miss ATTON j and
Miss BETTS succeeded to the vacant honours of the part
of the Peasantess. SEGUIN was Bertram, vice PHIL-
LIPS, a change by which the piece, of course, lost; and
AUGUSTA was the Abbess, vice Miss BASEKE,
one by which it, of course, materially gained. MI S.
WOOD invested the part of Isabella with much more
interest and effect than have hitherto belonged to it, at
least in the English editions of the Opera. The singing
of Miss BETTS was very unequal ; she pleased, we may
say, for the most part ; but her incurable faults of style
were often more than usually conspicuous. SEGUIN is a
clever singer, but is quite unequal to the part of Bertram,
at least in so large a theatre as Drury-lane. Ma-
demoiselle AUGUSTA, as the sprite of the A' bess of St.
Rosalie, invested that strange character with more truth
:(nd meaning than we had imagined even genius could
have imparted to it. Her costume, general appearance,
and demeanour were full of poetical conceit, and her
(lancing was elegant and finished. Mr. Woon was in good
voice, and was a more satisfactory Robert than he had
hitherto been. It is an Opera which requires a NOURRIT
a CINTI, a LEVASSEUR, and a DORUS or a MErtic to pre-
vent its being tedious The only novelty worthy of mention
in The Maid of Cashmere is the Zelica of Mademoiselle
AUGUSTA. While TAGLIONI is well remembered in this
part, and DUVERNAY has so recently won golden opinions
in it, it would, of course, have been folly to have continued
the representation of the piece had the establishment
boasted no one capable of adequately filling the vacant
throne of Terpsichore. That Mdlle. AUGUSTA is worthy
of that distinction must be sufficiently evident from the
manner in which she was last night received and applauded
throughout her performance. To her advantages of
symmetrical form and intelligent features she added those
of a perfect conception of her character, and a skilful
working out of that conception. Her steps are full of
grace and neatness ; whatever she attempts we are sure to
see perfectly performed, and she possesses withal an un-
usual modesty of demeanour which imparts a charm to all
she does. With so pleasing a heroine we see no reason
why The Maid of Cashmere should not continue its at-
traction. We hope on future occasions of the perform-
ances of these two Operas that they will be concluded at a
more reasonable hour than nearly one o'clock. The de-
lays were last night most unreasonable, and Robert the
Devil was, without the introduction of any new matter,
divided into four instead of three acts.
