KING'S THEATRI3.-This Theatre opened on
tr►turtlay last with lNlozAaT's admirable Opera
Aozze de Figar•o. It was supported by AMBRO-

. .
CETTI, Miss COE Er, Miss Mows, and Nladame BE.L-
LocKI, as last season. Miss HUGHES, who is non'
tignoraGaTTt,also resumed her former part. Mons.
ALBERT Made his first appearance as'Figaro. He
did not make a very favourable impression ;
fyar a first appearance always demands a lenient
tonsidet at ion. His voice is powerful. His
• k:nre• and countenance, hots ever, are not very
Well calculated to display the archness and
• l'oaggery of the lively Valet. ANIBiti)GETTI was, as
rystral all animation; and was well seconded by
LLOCHT. SPAGSOLETTI, very properly retains his
station as leader, and the Band has regained
%alnahle addition in DRAGONETTI. A new grand
killer, entitled Le Sultan GeneS-eux, was brought
Iterrward at the end of the Opera, and tolerably
receited. BAPTISTE is gone, and the Chief
bancer at present is 05c/tit BYRNE. ill. I-lULLtN
xs 110117 the Ballet-Master. MILANIE had all her
1411131 grace, elegance, and lightness, and ~was
highly applauded. There is no alteration in the
iciterior of the Theatre. - The Duke and Duchess
KeN-i were present. There was a numerous,
'''ftd apparently a satified audience.

Covent Garden Theatre intend to bring an ac-
`''tl against this admired Actress,- ftir Breach of
Gtitract, in con-sequence of. her -mat ridge,- as it

Tli E' NoltTa-w EST PASSAGE.

It is a known fact, that vast shoals of herrings
proceed to the North in anttutin, to shelter them-
underthe ice during. Winter front the pur-
suits of the great fish ; because whales cannot re-
main long under water, but 'are forced tdrise to
the stirface to breathe. *IA/hales have been killed
in the sea to the North of the Corea, that -had
French and Dutch harpoons in their bodies.
These Whales h been most probably wounded
either between Spitzbergen and Greenland, or in
Baffin's Bay nor is it likely that they Came to the
North Pacific Ocean by the way of Cape porn,
but must ba,:c swam to the North of America and
through BAring's Strait, with an open see to
breathe at its surface, and from being wounded,
they must have more frequently done so. This
proves that the Arctic Sea is often free froth ice,
a circumstance not hitherto noticed, and is in
favour' of the Discovery Ships finding a Passage
clear of iceto the North of America.
See the Quarterly Review, October, 1817, on the Polar
Ice, page 217.
