THE THEATRES.

GOVENT-GARDEN.

A new piece, The Mill of Berezina, was produced at
this theatre on Saturday night. A brave Russian soldier,
having been drawn by a cowardly comrade into an act of
desertion, escapes to an unfrequented village on the Bere-
zina, where he, in time, wins and marries the daughter of
a wealthy miller. His comrade becomes a vagabond. Some
years after his settlement, his old Colonel, Count Roma-
no', being on a journey to St. Petersburgh, arrives at the
village, and in his short pause tlee're is captivated by the
sister of our soldier's wife. The vagabond deserter arrives
at the same time with some brother rascals; and determines
to murder the Count for the sake of his money. The miller
soldier is persuaded to consent to the crime, lest he should
be discovered and punished on the old score of desertion,
This interesting plot is discovered by Romano r inamo-
rata, and he being apprised of his danger, sends off his
servant for help to the nearest garrison. Meantime he has
to depend for his safety on his own coolness and courage.
.Romang," insists on his .hostess lighting him to his bed-
chamber, and when her husband follows with the mur-
derers, he succeeds in keeping them at bay by holding a
pistol to the poor lady's head, and threatening to shoot her
on their first hostile movement. He does this certainly with
all imaginable •coolness—cOmpelling the innocent
although half kilted by terror alone, to sing the while !
The husband, completely subdued by this very unexpected
stratagem, succeeds for a time in keeping back the mur-
derers. Their patience is, however, soon exhausted, and,
after a considerable display of movement stuffed with horrid
import, they are about to rush on to their work when the
Count's fair friend comes with a troop of soldiers to the
rescue, and turns the tables on the robbers. The Count,
thus saved, makes the amcnde to his hostess by assuring her
that, however she might have died of fright from his pistol
she could have received no injury, as it was unloaded.
Her husband is pardoned all, and restored as an officer to
the service, and Romano," gives his hand to his protectress.
There was a time when such a piece, destitute of any but
most vulgar attraction, would have met with'a very sum-
mary condemnation at this house. It was, however, on this
occasion applauded.
