THE ENGLISH OPERA.

We again paid a visit to this delightful house last
night; and were more than ever delighted with that
excessively humorous little piece, " He Lies Like
Truth."_ The house, which was very crowded;•was
kept. in. a perpetuat par. by the spirited performance
of Wrench and hia sympathising companions. , The
piece will certainly have a good run.

We observe the Grand Sale at GEORGE
Romts'shas been so arranged, that the articles of taste
and virtu win. •not •be mixed up with the jewels and
bijouterie.: .The Sale To-morrow and, Friday consists
entirely of the latter ; and

confined to the display of a profusion of superb. French

Tables and Commodes of finest' manufacture ; the cele-
brated 'Theatrical Gallery of 100 Mirtraits ;.• and on

The following pathetic epitaph on the only
daughter end child of gotarr BOOTHBY, Esq. has nevee
before; we believed, appeared in print :--" Her fond
parents trusted their whole freight of happiness in one frail
bark, and the wreck was total."--Exeter Alfred.
CATHOLIC • ASSOCIATION, DUBLIN.-41.
meeting was held on Saturday last, at which. Mr. O'CoN..
rails) railed in good set terms against Corporal COBBETT,
observing that in England it was considered a species of
disgrace t 6 be associated with the Corporal. He remarked
also that'he had just come from Sligo, where he had recon-
ciled many of the most inveterate factions, and that the
people there were tranquil, but resolved on freedom. He
concluded.hy,proposing four pledges, on taking which only
candidates could Irope.for support, from the Catholic Asso-
ciation. The first was, Hostility against the. Duke of
WELLINGTON and Mr. PEEL, until they emancipated -the
Catholics ; the second, Civil and Religious Liberty; the
third, Opposition to the Sub-tetting Act; and the fourth,
Parliamentary Reform. These pledges were all proposed
and carried by acclamation, after which the meeting
adjourned.
TRIAL OF WILLIAM CORDER.---:rile
WEEKLY DISPATCH of Sunday next, August 10, will con-
tain, in addition to its usual variety of Original Essays,
of th
Newse
of the Week, Sporting Intelligence, &e., Report
Trial of William Corder, for the Murder of Maria Marlton ;
all the Interesting Evidence for the Prosecution, and the
Prisoner's • Defence, "at full. Every purchaser of the
%max, DISPATCH- of that, day, will also receive Gratia an
Engraving, comprising, a characteristic and correct Portrait
of Win, Corder, a facsimile of his Writing, and a Repre-
saltation of the Red Barn, in which the Body of Maria
' Marten was found. The DISPATCH may be had of all
Newsvenders,•and at the Office, 139, Fleet-street.
CARDERS CASE.—Every day adds some-
thing to the 'fearful interest of CORDER'S case ; facts are
continually developing themselves which throw a stronger
light upon this most mysterious occurrence, and exemplify
116 imputed criminality in the strongest manner. Some
doubts were this day (Tuesday) started as to the difficulties
that would present, themselves in the identification of
It•Lata. Manilla's body; but scarce had they been pro-
mulgated when they were removed by a discovery which
brings home the offence to a:certainty. Towards the close
of the day a conversation having taken place between the
surgeon who examined the body, and a third 'person, the
former remarked that he had perceived a wen on the neck
of the deceased, which being mentioned to her mother and
. sister, they immediately said that MARIA had
excrescence on her throat. This will at' all events establish
the identity. LEA, the Lambeth-street officer, has reached
this town, •and brought with him the-dirk with which it
• •• Was supposed that the mortal wounds were inflicted. It has
been-compared-with the puncture in the heart, the per-
' lerstion in the skull, and the oblique kind of fracture that
appears on that part of the rib which guards that portion
' • of the heart in .which the incised wound appeari.' It is'
lunch
for us to say that when in the metropolis so
anxiety prevails; that here it exists -in a more 'than
proportionate degree. The appetite for new facts and in-
. • (ideate is insatiable. ' Numerous engravings and repre-
sentations' of the occurrences in and about the red barn,
and portraits of Coanan,. are on sale in every book shop
" iii the tawn,-and in the hands of ntimerousitinerants about
---• the avenues of the Court. - They are generally of the most
wretched execution, and as like the originals as "
TIIER-
SITES to AroLLo." There are; 'however, seine good views,
• one in. particular; a-lithographic-sketch, by G. S. GLOVER,
of 'the red barn, and a coloured likeness. of CORDER by

• short time. The impression still is, that CORDER'S trial will
