TH a Tit E ATE E.--A . new Musical After-piece,
entitled ‘; Foul Verdi will rise," was represented
for the first time last night at the Hay market
Theatre. The Plot is derived from one of The
Canterbterj Tales, written by Miss LEE. The new
drama is founded upon the horrific qualities which
have rather too long marked the Novels and the
dramatic Works of the present day.—The scene
lies in Spain, and the main subject relates to the
murder, and private interment of a young Lady in
Madrid. Thirty years afterwards, an English Gen.
ileman, who had secretly witnessed thisulandestine
burial,returns to Madrid,discovers the Murderer, and
the son of this English Gentleman is it lengthmarri.
ed to the daughter of the murdered Lady. The Piece
is of much too sombre a cast fur a musical Entertain.
meat, and, though there ate some attempts at comic
dialogue, they are ~f too light and trivial a kind to
relieve the general heaviness of the produetion.
There is nothing original in the charaders, and
though the language is at times figurative and poe.
tical, it is on the whole Insipid and vulgar. The
vocal parts were by no means cast with judgment,
except in the instance of Miss ARNIE L LS., DE
CAMQ is a very poor singer, yet he takes part in a
duet and a trio. Mrs. HARLOW& is also not a very
great vocal performer, yet she is one of the chief
musical props of the piece. Indeed the vocal pato
were so injudiciously assigned,. that .we should at
soon expedt to see BRAH4I4 and STORA.CI in Dthdlo
and Desdemorta. The Overture was ',abort ana
pretty ; the subject was taken from the Spanish Face.
Java. The melodies were pleasing, ,bot did not
appear to advantage in the efforts of the, singers.
Tire audience began to testily some disapprobation
in the first Ad, and it became more violent in pro-
portion to the progress of the Piece, It was an.
nounced for repetition this evening, but amidst a
very loud opposition. The Author of the Piece is
said to be Mr. ARNOLD, and the Music is ascribed
to his late father.

The Young Allin who has made such a figure in
Ireland, has been performing on. the Edinburgh
Stage, with equal success. The people of Edinburgh
have always been considered as sound judges of thea.
trical merit, and if his high fame has bun confirm.
ed in that place, he must be indeed a prodigy of
infantine genius, that would make the stoutest heroes
of the London Boards tremble at a comparison.

The most splendid BAll of this season was given
on Monday night by Lady tionnicoTa, at her
house in Grosvenor-Square, to a numerous assent.-
Wage of the Fashionable World. The Supper was
served up at three o'clock, and the Company broke
up at six. _ _

It is not true, as reported, that all the manuscripts
of WI (Acts were destroyed L; his daughter. With
a commendable regard to her father's memory, and
the cause of morals, she only destroyed those works
which would have done no credit to his reputation,
b.ing the sportive effusions of a fancy too prurient.
His literary correspondence, and his account of his
political life, she preserved, as well as his histori.
cal and critical illustration of the works of his
friend CHURCHILL.
Several tons of new halfpence have been seized at
Cove, which were smuggled from Birmingham fur
circulation in Ireland.
