DRtr4Y^LArre.-=-I'he Beggar's Opel, very pro-
perly contracted into two Acts, was represented
last night at this Theatre, chiefly for the pur-
pose of introducing Mr, PSARMAN as the itrra of
the piece, a cheatter which he bad often per-
formed with success at the ENGLiSti OPERA-
House, and in which he was not less soccessfill
last night. The merits of Miss CAREW and Miss
KRLLY, 111 Polly and Lucy, also have been often
witnessed and admired. Soon after the second
Act began, Miss Ktt.ta seemed tit be somewhat
embarr.ssed by the non-appearance of DowToN
in Locket. The vulgar part of the audience, who
allow nothing for accidental impediments, began
to hiss, and utter the hackneyed call for " Ma-
nager." DowroN then came forward with the
following brief address, which soon restored
harmony:—

" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I believe something, lam at
a loss to know what, has excited your displeasure. Perhaps
it is the compression of the Opera into two acts.—(Here ri few
cries of " Manager" were ?team'.)—For myself, have guile
on precisely as' my Fart has been marked out ; I have never
on any occasion been wanting in my duty."

The entertaining love of The Three and the
Deuce, voinpriling in its title a whimsical equi.
vogue, followed, and ELLIsT,N, in his personation
of Peregrine, Pertinar, and Percival Single, was so
rapid in the successive as.itimptions. and varied
the characters with such marked discrimination
and versatility of power, that he most deservedly
received the warmest applauae. The last piece
was Two Strings to your how.

COVENT-GARDEN.—The Tempest, not the sim-
ple, regular, and beautiful Play, as originally
written by its wonderful Author, but as deformed
by the unlucky, hand Of DRYDEN, was brought
rorward last night at this Theatre. The part of
Prospero has, since the retreat of the greatest
Actor of his day, JOHN KateaLE, and the db.-.
sence of YOUNG, been assigntd to Timor. He
supported it with dile solemnity of manner and
accurate adherence to the text, excrpt, to c-m-
-pliment to the ignoram vulgar, pronouncing aches
as a monosyllable.. But John Bull is a restkss
animal, and was dissatisfied last night with what
he formerly demanded, and bi,sed he Actor, al-
most as much as he did Mr. KUMLA for be-
ing faithful to the measure and the pronun-
ciation of former titnts. When the late Mr.
BRNSLEY performed (his part, he Adhered to the
original pronunciation, but as lie was assailed
by the vulgar tor so doing, he omitted the line
the next representation, to avoid ail ignorant cla-
mour, but perhaps the orn,‘ion now might he
equally ill received. The play al ogether went off
very well, and was mulct; iudeb;.•d to Emily's
Caliban, BLANCHARD'S Trinculo, RUSs ELL'S Ste-
phan°, and the Miranda of :Miss FOOTe, tilt! Do•
rinds of Miss BRUNTON, and,the Hippolyto of
Mrs. FAWCETT. We must. however, take a more
partietdar 'voice of Miss TRER'.4 first appearance
in Ariel, which had all the elegant lightness con-
ceivable in a Sylph. with tenderness and s:mpli-
city in the acting, as well as taste, science, and
expression in the singing. But let the Manager
shew his taste by reviving the -anginal play, and
discarding this bungling disfigurement of an ad.-
mirabie drama.

LORD COCHRANE.-EVraCt of a letter dated
Buenos Ayres, July 29 :—" Lord COCHRANE has
taken the Guayaquil convoy, estimated 'o be
worth three million of dollars ; he subsequently
effected a landing at Payta, and held
turbed possession of that place tor five days,
during which time he amply supplied himself
with provisions and refreshments, th,stroyed the
fortifications, and sent ail the serviceable artil-
lery in a schooner of war (one of the pi izes) to
Valparaiso: He afterwards reterned to Callan to
resume the blockade, and would shortly be
by she remainder of the squadron from Valperaiso,
now under the command of Captaio
Artigas's refusal to unite with Buenos Ayres
will not prevent the Government from coming to
an understanding with Saute-F6 and Entreeios,
because the latter cannot expect any support
from their protectors Artigas, who is hard pressed
by the Portuguese. They have taken Otargnes,
his second in command, and also the Division of
the famous Andresito. The accounts trom Upper
Perd state, that the Royalist Commtipdet.ia.
Chief, La Cerna, had withdrawn to the coat'' to•
wards Arica, and only left 100 men at Tupiza,
and small garrisons in some other places.—
The troops which have passed front Chili
over the Cordillera towards this place, amount
only to 1500 men, who are to remain in readiness
to assist us in receiving the grant! Expedition
from Cadiz. The expedition intended against
Lima is not on that account given up : only let
Lord Cochrane capture the :,an Thelmo and
Prneva, on their voyage from Cad ix, and Lima
will follow of course."—(Morning Paper.)
We copied a paragraph from The Morning
Herald of yesterday, stating that Mr. C KIAMBLR
had apologized for " the harsh expressions be had
used at the time the misunderstanding occurred."
‘Ve are assured that no " harsh expressions" were
used by him, and consequently no apology could
be necessary. We are assured also, that the re-
sult was highly hmonrable to both parties, and we
trust that the subject will not be revived, but that
a sincere cordiality has been fully re-established
We understand that a numerous and respectable
meeting of the Deputy Lieutenants, Justices of
the .Peace, and other authorities, was held in
Hamilton Palace on Thursday last, at which it
was resolved that a Volunteer force should be
raised in different parts of the Connty, and a con-
siderable augmentation made to the present num-
ber of special constables. It was also resolved
that a declaration of the political st oilmen's of
the people should be drawn tip, and circulated for
signatures,---(Glasgow Chronicle.)

To THE FPNINSULA SIEII4IO.

Thou sweet Peninsula of smiles,
Dear St RMIo, brighter than the isles
Which on vast sea or still lake lie,
Each seeming, as it were, au eye
To beautify the water's face,
Glad; glad, these scenes I now retrace;
Yet scarce can think, clos'd every toil,
And Thyuia left, I tread thy soil,
The happier now for griefs that were,
How sweet to breathe-this freshening air
How sweet 'co lay my storm-toss'd head
Upon the long-long-wish'd-for bed
Well it repays all sorrows past,
yo hail thee, Stamso, thus at last.
Lov'd home, be all about thee gay ;
By laugh and joke thy bliss display.
