PATENP PARAGON CAMPIIINE LAMPS.—The perfectio❑ of
these Lamps over the Vesta has been happily attained by the inven-
tion of two parallol flat rings—a larger and a smaller forming a cone
round the margin of the wick, which cause a rapid reverberation of
air against the flame—thus consuming every particle of volatilized
vapour, it is free from smoke or smell, having perfect combustion,
and in full action, emits a light equal to la wax candles.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

A new drama, in three acts, was produced at this
theatre last evening, with the most triumphant suc-
cess. It is an adaptation, by Gilbert A'Beckett and
Mark Lemon, from the French of some modern
author, we presume ; but so thoroughly Spanish is it
in its construction, so completely Gil Bias like in its
language, its incidents, and its intrigue, that it might
well pass for a recovered fragment from the pen of
Lesage. It is entitled Don Caesar de Bazan,
and it might very appropriately have been en-
titled Mr. James Wallack, for he is Don
Caesar de Bazan, and Don Casar is the play.
This said Don Cxsar is a roue nobleman, reckless,
ruined, and chivalrous. In a street affray in Seville
he has done some service to Maritana (Mrs. Stirling),
a Gitana girl, and she, out of gratitude, saves him
from the fury of the mob in Madrid. Lazarilla (Miss
Marshall), an orphan boy, in the service of an ar-
mourer, appeals to Don Caesar to save him from arrest.
Don Cxsar attacks and wounds the captain of the
guard sent to arrest the boy, and is condemned to
die. Don Jose (Mr. Fitziames), the Minister of
Charles 11., King of Spain (Mr. Walton), visits Don
Cxsar in his dungeon. The wily Minister has dis-
covered that the King loves Maritana, and promises
Don Cxsar, who is penniless, that he will
provide for Lazarilla, and change the mode of
his execution from hanging to shooting, if he
will consent to marry a veiled lady ten minutes
before his death. He does consent, and Maritana is
led in veiled. The marriage takes place, the dis-
charge of musketry is heard, and the drop scene falls
on the first act. The second act opens with a fete
at the Marquis di Rotondo's (Mr. Granby), the
uncle of Don Caesar. Maritana is there, and the
King is introduced to her as Don Caesar de Bazan,
her husband. She turns from him in horror, the
guests leave the room, Maritana accompanying the
Marquis. Don Jose is left alone, when Don Cxsar
enters; he has seen a carriage with his own armorial
bearings at the door; has discovered that it belongs
ainssitghneifibcaonysetitionby
Wallack
to his wife, and is come to seek her. Don Jose,
who has so managed that a pardon for Don Cxsar
should not arrive until an hour after his
execution, is thunderstruck at finding him alive.
Don Cxsar, however, explains all ; the ar-
mourer's boy had drawn the balls from all the mus-
kets, and when fired at, of course Don Cxsar could
not do less than fall down and lie still. The old
Marchioness di Rotondo (Mrs. Fosbroke) is intro-
duced to him as his wife; he is about to renounce her
for ever, when the Countess de Bazan is announced,
and he sees Maritana proceeding to her carriage. He
rushes out to follow her in spite of the resistance of
Don Jose, and the second act is brought to a termi-
nation. The third act opens at a country house near
the palace of Aranjuez. Don Jose has conducted Ma-
ritana thither, and having introduced the King as
Don Casar de Bazan, leaves for the palace to betray
the King to the Queen, in the hope of forwarding his
own suit to her Majesty. Maritana rejects the King
with loathing—she has been deceived—he is not the
man she believed to be Don Casar, she retires, and
the real Don Caesar enters through a window. The
King, who announces himself as Don Cxsar de Bazan,
the master of the chateau, asks the intruder his name,
to which Don Cxsar coolly replies, " I am the King
of Spain," and observing his surprise, adds, " Ay, as
truly as you are Don Cxsar de Bazan." He then
learns for the first time that he has been pardoned,
and then having locked the door so as to prevent all
egress, he informs the King of the treason of
Don Jose, and his attempts upon the honour
of the Queen. The King, who is roused almost to
madness by the intelligence, is at length calmed, when
Don Casar tells him that he has revenged him by
killing Don Jose. Don Cxsar is pardoned, and re-
warded with the hand of Maritana, and all ends hap-
pily. The acting of James Wallack was perfect—he
was fitted in the character of Don Cmsar to a nicety,
and he did it ample justice. Mrs. Stirlingof maarciltaentahe
