THE TFILATN.ES.

KING'S Ttrivillo.—,-A new serin-comic dpera
was brought forward at this place on Saturday,
befote a crowded house. The name of the piece
is L'Armse, and the fable is taken from- Mrs.
ONE'S pathetic and terrific tate of The Father and
the Daughter.—The admirable acting of Asitatto-
GEM find CAMPORESE rendered it in the highest
degree interesting and affecting. The music was
con►poged by PARR, and is a good mixtnre of the
light elegance of theltalian with the scientific
solidity of the German style. The piece WAS well
received. It was followed by a new ballet, en-
titled Zak(' or The Peruvians, which was Ow-
gether gland and striking in performance and
scenery. ,

If we may trust report, Mr. KEmar.fr has re-
sumed his intention 01 performing,Fuistaffbefore he
finally quits the stage. That he will give alaith-
ful interpretation of the te‘t, and an accurate
outline of. .the character, we are quite satisfied,
hut whethyr the colouring fully be sufficiently gay
and animated, may admit amine doubt. But we
may so far trust to his llama! taste and a judg-
ment matured by experience, as to, conceive that
he will not attempt what he does, not conceive.
himself to be capable.of executing.
Report statesthat KEAN'S popularitY has reached
Ames ica to such an extent as to induce the thea-
trical Managers in that country to offer him an
engagement for three years, at a recompense of
ten ,thousand pounds gelling, well secured in this
country.

SIT IL DAVY'S SA!"[ITY LAMP.—..M. VAN MONS
As bent the gratifying intelligence that the Lamp
nvented by the- scientific and indefatigable Sir
HUMPHREY PAyY, for being used in mines, coal-
)US, completely succeeded in the Nether-

lands. The' folloWing is an extract from his letter
communicating its. effects, and which is highly sa-
tisfactory on this important invention. " Forti-
fied With it," he says', " we can penetrate into the
foulest mines. -We have even opened DepOts of
gas, and procured its mixture with the prdportion
of atmospheric air calculated to produce the most
prompt inflammation, and the strongest explosion,
Init the gni has never taken fire 'We use gauze
made of stronger wire than with you, in Order to
guard against any exterior darimge from the awk--
madness of the workmen ; anti 'to prevent the men
from Opening the lamp, sve have adopted the ex-
pedient of a small padlock; with the key of which
the master ruiner is entrusteit. The heating of

the gauze clOth, however intense it may be, is not
attended with any danger, for iron the most incan-
descent will not affect gas; nething but flame will
kindle it. Some attempts have been matte to light
one by weans of its gas, buti am not it 4 yet ac-
quainted with the result. I should think Snell a
project must be attended with many obstacles."
