THE THEATRE.

Drury. Lob

Tii E historical romance of Cymbelinc was tilt,
dramatic repast of last night at this Theatre; This
Play abounds in poetical beauties ; and, with its
variety of.charatters, anti interesting situations, la
calculated 'to take a strong hold of the imagination.
Pop E'S representation of Paithumus is more itp.,
passioned and aff.ding than most of his perform'
ances...„
We have seen Mrs. POPR much more tender/
soft, and delicate in Imsgen titan she was last night.
Her manner of .reje4ling the suit of Clow:, in par'
.ticular, was much too rough for the gentle /maga,
and too uncourtly for a Princess. The indignatina
of insulted virtue in her previous repulse of krbi-,
mo, was,' however, well expressed, and excited
much applause.

PowELL, who is a Performer that will always be
respe6table. in whatever charaCtet he may assumes
appeared for the first time -in faCk;mo. His figure
is not of that imposing .kind, which has hitherto
been thought a pre-requisite/or the Part, nor is Ilia
deportment in general easy aiid. graceful enough for
such a confident Gallant-. Ile rendered arpre
justice to the text, but on the Whole was somewhat
too solemn in representing the char:titer. In tbM
chamber-scene he 'addressed himself-too much w
the Audience, in noticing the particulars whit
were to serve as the evidence of his pretend!'
success. Altogether, it Was a performance tatbat
marked by plain Sense than by active genius.
The Play is so good, that for the honour of oat
great Poch wt were glad to see. it welt 'attended.

JANUARY !S.—The Inhabitants of Antavcri
are preparing Triumphal Arches for the reception
of the First Consul, on his journey into our De-
partments. They wish to testify to the Restorer

the benefits which it confers, and which promise to

RANELAGII MASQUERADE.

ON Thursday evening Ranelagh was opened, for
the first time this Season, for the reception of
Masks, and the Rotunda was tolerably crowded ;
but the genius ofinvention seems entirely at a stand ;
for this, like all other Masquerades of late, pro-
duced little excellence or novelty ofeherafier. House-
maids, Rower and Fruit Girls, were as numerous as
ever. The light-fingered gcntry were not the
least at home in performing their parts. A Foreigner
was r►bbed of his pocket-book, and Capt. HoLues
(the Arny Agent) deteaed a fellow, whom lie
had previously noticed, endeavouring to draw his
watch fr,mt his pocket. Captain H. imtnediate.
ly seized him. A large crowd surrounded him,
and a violent hustling took place in order to rescue
the villain, but Captain H. being a very powerful
man, secured him, and, assisted by a few friends,
stemmed the torrent which pressed upon him, until
he delivered the offender to a constable, from whom
he soon after efrefted his escape. This, we under.
stand, will be a Subjeft of complaint at Bo w.st reel.

It is stated, upon the authority of private Letters
from Paris, that much discontent has been excited
among the Officers of the Republican Army, by the
manner in which the Ft esr Co:ISUL has of late or.
ganized the Military Eitablishment. The Officers
who have been longest in,the Service, and have par.
ticularly distinguished themselves, are said to have
felt extremely sore, in consequence of •the regula. ,
tints, by which young 'men of rich families, or
great influence at the•Thuilleries and St. Cloud,
have been promoted above men of real merit. 'Many
remontrances from different parts of the Republic
hive been already transmitted to. the Government,
and the appointment of the LAt\trais to the rank of
General, as well as that of LATOUR -MAu ouita's
son to the rank of 'Colonel, have, in particular,
been the subjea of much complaint. The Petition
presented against these Promotions, was signed by
twelve. Generals, twenty:.six Colonels, and a great
number of Subalterns. It was addressed to the
Consul-and the Senate.
Although the Film- CONSUL concealed his feel.
inns on the occasion, the Petition was the stibjea of.
a long discussion in the Senate. Generals Kt cr,ak.,.
Mar and LEVRIIVRE maintained that it ought not
to be read, on the ground that the Senate possessed no
right to interfere in the organization of the Army ; •
while others contended, that as the Senate had
created a Legion of Honour, it had also the. power of
inquiring into the justice of any remonstrance pre.
ferred by the Military. The debate terminated by
deciding that a Message should be sent to the Go.
vernment, to know whether, in the adual state of
things, the Constitution hail suciently marked the
basis of the public force ; and whether the inter-
ference of the Senate would not be necessary to pro.
vide for whatever might he incomplete and detec-
tive in the Laws respeding the Military •Establish.
went.

Between twelve and one o'clock on Tuesday
morning, an alarming fire broke nut in a warehouse
at Anon Juntlion Wharf, near Birmingham, which
thteatencd destration to` rile surrounding buildings,
but it was prevented frbrrt spreading by the extra-
ordinary exertions of the inhabitants, The flames
consumed a very large quantity of Grain, and the
building where the conflagration began, to the
amount of upwards ofi'oool. which, unfortunately
for the: Proprietors, were not insured. The fire
was communicated (rum a pipe in. the cabin of a
