THE TR EATR.B,--7-The new burlesque tragic Opera
was repeated•lasi at. the Ilaymarket Theatre,
for the. fourth time,
.and was received; if possible,
with incrcased.applause. The house was crowded
in every pmt. We were inaccurate in slating, that
a Mr. RoLra was the Ain boy of this most entertain,'
in and soccessful piece—tt 'was written by Mr.
WILLIAM BARNES RHODES, a Gentleman who has
already' distinguished Ininself by some very hu-
Morous tales in verse, under the signature of
" Cornelius Crambo," and by a volume of Epi-
0-raats.-
It has been said that ROONAPARTE and his now
lady, for is lie she can hardly be called, are not up.:
on the most harmonious terms. This is probably
a false rumour, tor however the Lady-may be dis-
gusted with the violent temper and coarse manners
of. her Lord, she must be too well acquainted with
his disposition, to venture to speak or even la.,k in
opposition to his sentiments. • What a miserable life
inuSt this Princeasilead, separated trornler family,
disgrireed by her alliancz! with a vulgar tyrant, ob-•
liged to watch and submit to every no. ion pf his
taprice, arid exposed to tile danger of being a victim
to that vicissitude of fortune which his injustice and
oppres,;ion are likely to produce, and which Would
be a sobjett of rejoicing not only to France and to
the continent of Europe, but to every part of the
civilized world.. •

On Thnrsday afternnon a fatal accident hap-
pened to a fine boy, between three, and four years
old, the son of Mr. Gifford, a Messenger :of the
House of Commons. Mrs. Gifford having made
tea, left the table in search of something, when the.
little boy instantly laid hold of the tea-pot,
,put the
spout into his mouth, and swallowed a quantity of
the boiling liquid. He lived in the most excruciat-
ing agony until about four o'clock yesterday morn-
ing, when he expired. The•chill had been accus-
tomed to the bad habit of drinking cold tea out of
the tea-pot,. which led to this disaster. -'
EARTHQUAKES.--EXtra6l of a fetter, crated St.
Michael's, Azores, July 10.—" We have been for
this month past' rendered miserable by frequent
shocks of earthquakes. Some hamlets, towards the
west end of the island, have sufl'ered much : all the
houses-in some have been throv,vti down, and those
of several others damaged. Here, in the city, vve
have received no serious injury : I hope they now
hegin to subside; though • I myself entertain the
opinion, that we must first see bleak out a volcano,
or some boiling springs; then my mind wilt be at
ease.,. About three or four leagues to the Westward
of this city, three or four churches, and a grea
Many houses, have been thrown down, and Severe
lives lost."

At Union-Hall, yesterday, a young man, named
WV( bb, :was charged by Mr. Elliston ith presenting
a forged order of admi.sion, for iffee tothe pit, at
the Surrey Theatre, on Thursday evening last.
Mr. ElListon said, that the forgery was dete6ted
immediately
,on the order being presented, it pur-
porting to be written by Mr. S. Slader, and it being
the rule with him not to suffer any written orders
to be given by any person except himself..
The prisoner said he was a compositor on a week-
ly newspaper, and that he found the order in the
street, as he was going to his employment on Thurs-
day morning.
Mr. Ellistunsaid he had no wish to punish the pri-.
soner if he would promise to endeavour to discover the
writer of the order; the frauds of th is description which
were practised upon him were beyond conception,
amid 'he should in future be obliged to prosecute
with severity any person whom he should deteel
attempting to repeat them ; Mr. Eiliston produced
to the Magistrate several forged copper_ checks,
similar' to those taken at the doors by persons on
paying their money, and delivered to the inber door-
keepers, which had been presented at the doors:
After a severe reprimand from the Magistrate,
Mr. declining to prosecute him, the pri-
soner was discharged. '
