ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.-OPERA BUFFA.

The opera buffs season, under the direction of Signor
Ronzani, commenced last evening at this theatre, with
every prospect of perfect success. The opera chosen
for representation was entitled " Colamella," the plot
of which is as follows :—Two brothers, Albert and
Aurelio, are in love with Elise. Albert's love is con-
cealed. Aurelio declares himself, and is accepted by
Elisa. Business calls Aurelio away. In his absence the
brother, by a forged letter, induces Elisa to believe that
Aurelio is false to her, and after some persuasion she
consents to accept him for her husband. The nuptials
are about to take place when Aurelio returns, and grief
at Elisa's falsehoo,l drives him mad. He is confined in
a lunatic asylum, and, after a time, makes his escape and
wanders about the country. Albert, conscience-stricken,
discloses the truth to Elisa, so that, when Aurelio is
discovered and is restored to reason, the lovers are made
happy-

Columella is servant to Aurelio, and the principal
mirth of the piece consists in a scene at the mad-house,
where Columella, in search of his master, is surrounded
by the insane inmates, who play him all sorts of tricks.
but the idea of a madhouse deprives the scene of much
of its humour. The fun appertaining to the part of
Co1111)3811a ia hardly to be described in words ; and we
would, therefore, advise all who desire to appreciate the
comic capabilities of the " Buff) Napolitano nella Mae-
chera del Pulcinello," to see and judge for themselves.
Signor Colombo waz loudly applauded ;for his fine sing.
ing in Mercadante's romanza, in which he displayed
much tenderness and passion ; and Mademoiselle Fame-
gali brought down the curtain with eclat in the rondo
finale.

The band and chorus are bath efficient, and the con-
ductor, Signor Aiberto Randegger, is an accomplished
master of the baton. The interior of the theatre has
been newly cleaned and painted, and great improve-
ment has been effected in the lighting of the chandelier.
The house was crowded in every part, and nearly all
the rank and fashion of London were present.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Monday Mr. Hodgson,
the county coroner, and a respectable jury held an in
quiry at Rimpton, Somerset, into the circumstances
attending the deaths of George Cox, aged 20 ; Silas
Tuck, aged 46 ; and Henry Pardy, aged 23, who met
their deaths in a rather peculiar manner, the two latter
in a generous endeavour to save the life of the former. It
appeared that Mr. Cu; the father of the first-named
deceased, carried on an extensive business as a dairyman
in this place, and had constructed on his premises a large
tank or reservoir for the purpose of the reception of
whey, which was conveyed by a wooden shoot to the
feeding troughs of the pigs, of which animals be kept
considerable number. It being necessary that this tank
should he cleaned it was emptied of its contents, and
G. Coe, the son of the proprietor, descended for that
purpose. When at the bottom of the ladder he was
observed to stagger and lost his footing. Tuck then
hastened to his aseiyterice nn I appeared to sutler
'in a similar reansier. Henry Partly iminediat, ly
ent to their relief and was overcome by
the same infinence that had attacked hie two eel°, tunate
companions. Another person on the spot generously vo-
lunteered to descend into the tank to ascertain if possible
the cause why the three met had not ascended or re-
sponded to the inquiries that had been made of them.
He proceeded nearly to the foot of the ladder, when he
expel ienced a difficulty of breathing and hastily returned
to the top, and thus his life was saved. The cause teen
became apparent Zo the byetandere, and their Furmires
that the three unfortunate persons had been destroyed
by the fumes of carbonic acid gas proved to b 3 correct.
After the proper precautions had been taken to prevent
any further accident the bodies were taken out of the
tank, and medical assistance having in the naeareime
been procured, upon examination life was found fo be
quite extinct. Tue above facts having been disclosed by
ttes .-xeeeieation of the witnesses a verdict iu aecotdaece
with the evideuce was returned.
