KING'S THEATRE.

Rossini's lively opera Il Barbiere di Seviglia was per-
formed on Saturday evening. Madame Caradori, who,
we are happy to say, has, after a long absence, resumed her
situation on these boards, sustained the character of Ro-
sins. She played with delightful vivacity, and sang with
much pure taste and true expression. Zuchelli, as Fi-
garo, sang most effectively. All his spirit was, however,
confined to his voice. Of Curioni, who appea-ed as Al-
me.viva, the bustling man of intrigue and enterprise, tie
shall only say that he is the dullest lover that ever
trod the stage, or warbled a madrigal. The new ballet
which was performed on Thursday evening for Taglioni's
benefit, and which has been produced by her father, fol.
lowed. It is founded on the story of Oneron, and is de-
nominated Sire Huon, on Le Car Enclumte. Much care,
and not, we should think, a little expense, have been be-
stowed on the getting up of this ballet. The scenery is
unusually good, the dresses splendid, and the arrangement
the principal tableaux strikingly picturesque. 'I he
great charm of the ballet is, however, to be sought in
the exquisite movements of the exquisite Taglioni. She
took her leave of the London public (for a short time) on
Saturday evening, and, universally admired, we had al
most said adored, as she has been, it is easy to conceive
how greatly she was applauded. Mademoiselle Duvernay,
whom a party has set up as a sort of rival to Taglioni,
came in for her full share of approbation. The house was
filled in every part.

TUE LATE VISCOUNTESS DUNCANNON.-
Much surprise has been expressed in consequence of the
late marriage taking place on the day previous to the de-
mise of that lamented lady. The fact is, it was at her lady-
ship's express desire that the ceremony was pelformed ere
her departure from this world.

EARL FITZWILLIAM.—We find by letters
received from this nobleman, that he is favourable to the
redress of the dissenters' grievances, except on two very
important points, viz., their exemption from church-rates
and the admission to graduate at the universities. We
regret that this excellent nobleman should not see the pro-
priety of relieving dissenters from an unjust and vexatious
burden, and of admitting them to the advantages of the
great national seats of learning.—Leeds Mercury.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has presented
the Rev. Ethvard Churton, Head Master of the Hackney
Church of England School, to the rectory of Monk Hely,
in Suffolk.

A branch of the Bank of England is about
to be established at Portsmouth. This arrangement
seems to have arisen in some measure from the frauds
which recently occurred in the transmission of money for
the pay of the Government offices there, as it will give the
requisite facilities as well as security for the transaction of
all such business on the spot.

Mr. Morris, seems, cannot make up his
mind what to do with his theatre in the Haymarket ; at
one time he was for opening it at Easter, or won after-
wards, but at present he has made up his mind to wait for
events. He has engaged Mrs. Nesoit for his season when-
ever it begins, and her voice, face, and style of acting are
excellently adapted to a theatre of the size of the Hay-
market, although both her beauty and talent were comp t-
ratively.wasted at Drury-lane.

NEW CATTLE MARKET AT ISLINGTON.-
Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, has addressed Mr. Faulkner in the
following terms, expressive of his sentiments touching the
New Cattle Market at Islington :

" Holkham, March 17, 1834.
" Sir,—You have my permission to make use of my name as a
decided friend to the New Cattle Market at Islington ; there can
be but one opinion respecting it by all who send cattle to be
disposed of in London, and I cannot bring myself to believe so
laudable and advantageous an undertaking can fail of meeting
with the unanimous support of the landed proprietors.
" I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
" THOMAS WILLIAM COKE.
" Mr. W. Faulkner, Sadlers' Hall, London."

Mr. Arthur O'Connor, who has been banished
from his Majesty's dominions since the Irish rebellion, is
about to return to Ireland, under a letter of license from
the Lord Lieutenant. This license has been granted in
consequence of a memorial from Mr. O'Connor, setting
forth that urgent private business required his presence
for a short time in Ireland ; but we understand that this
license is expressly limited to two months. It will be
,remembered that Mr. O'Connor, being accused of high
treason, was arrested whilst attempting with three others
to escape to France in 1798, and was subsequently tried
at Maidstone, and acquitted. O'Quigly, who was, we
believe, tried with him, was found guilty, and executed.
Mr. O'Connor was subsequently granted a free pardon,
upon condition of perpetual banishment. He has been
now absent from this country about thirty-six years, and
has, we believe, been residing during the greater part of
thit period in Paris. Mr. Arthur O'Connor is the uncle
of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, M.P. for the county of Cork.

BRITISH MUSKET.—An experienced officer
assures us, the British musket, among a people, too, so
skilled in every hardware manufacture, is in one essential
part of it, viz., the lock, inferior to almost every other in
Europe ; few of our Tower-proof muskets being useable,
from the excessive coarseness and difficulty of the lock-
springs, until they have been worked upon by the regi-
mental armourers at the expense of the officers in the
command of companies.— Times.
Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Satur-
day morning the omnibus " Shillibeer" broke down in the
City•road with a tremendous crash, through the axletree
of the four-wheels snapping. The vehicle was full of pas-
sengers, many of whom were st verely bruised, but we are
gild to state not seriously. It is a miracle no one was
killed, as one side of the carriage was completely shattered.
ARREST OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC
CLERGYMAN FOR TITHES, AND COSTS OF SUIT! !
