MISCELLANEOUS.

KING'S Trtukrat.—This grand resort of the
Fashionable W'orld opened for the season on
Saturday night, and considering the severity of
the weather and the absence of Parliament, was
more numerously attended than is generally the
case on a first night at this period. The Opera
was BCrociato in Egitto, the music of which was
so much admired last year. There were some
changes in the representation in the principal
characters, on account of the American expedi-
tion of the former Performers. Mademoiselle
BONONI supplied the place of CARADORI in the
part of Pahaide. Mademoiselle Bonoril is not in
the bloom of youth, nor has she a very captivating
person, but she is an agreeable though not a great
singer. She is a pupil of VELLUTI, and displays
in some degree the style of her master. As she
cannot have estimated the effect of her voice, re-
lative to the extent of the area of this Theatre,
we shall reserve our opinion till we hear more of
her. She was well received. The other novelty
of the night was Madame CORNEGA, who, however,
is not unknown to the musical circles, though her
first appearance on the stage was on this occasion,
Her voice is flexible and not s ithout power.
VELLUTI on his entrance was well received, as if
to atone for the rough treatment which he expe-
rienced last year. lie sang with more effect
than usual. CURIONI resumed his former chit.'
racier in this excellent Opera, and the place of
REMORINT 11,41 well supplied by PoaTo. Alto-
gether the Opera came off successfully, and the
audience testified their approbation by repeated
encores. The Ballet that followed the Opera is
ettlitled Justine, ou La Cruche Cassee (The
broken Pitcher), which according to an advertise-
ment from D'EGvtt.r.r, the Composer, was hastily
got up, as the performers who are engaged for
the Corps de Ballet have not yet arrived in this
country. Considering that this was a sort of un-
avoidable stop-gap, it was rather treated harshly,
but it will improve on repetition. In the coarse
of the evening " God Save the King" was sung by
BEGSTI and the other performers, and ap-
plauded with fervid loyalty.

Mr. LAMBTON.—A report was very rife on
Saturday that Mr. Limit Tom. was dead, We
have made the proper inquiries, and we believe
the report to be untrue. Mr. LAMBTON, we can
undertake to say, was quite well on Friday last;
on which day he left Lambton-hull for York-
shire, intending to visit Lord DARLINGTON and
Mr. M. TAYLOR before his arrival in town to.
morrow. It is scarcely possible that any serious
accident can in the interim have happened to this
respectable gentleman without some notice of the
calamity reaching kis friends in London ; and
we can confidently state, that up to a late hour
last night no tidings of any sinister event had
arrived in Town.—(Titnes.)
J. G. LAMBTON, Esq., M.P., passed through
this city yesterday on hie way to the south. We regret to heal
that the Hon. Member is about to proceed to France, on account
of ill health, his medical advisers deeming change of climate
necessary..-.-(Durham Advertiser, Jan. 6.)

THE WEATHER.—SO intense was the frost last
night that the milk people, on coming into town
this morning, found a cost of ice on the tops
of their pails. A pail of water standing in a
stable where four horses are kept was frozen
over.

GIN.---By the market prices gin does not' ap-
pear to he reduced more than le. per gallon, but,
as the imperial measure has increased the gallon
in size about one-fifth, in effect the price is re•

A SINGULAR RESTORATION OP PROPERTY.—
A robbery took place a very short time ago in
two house, adjoining each other, in Liverpool ;
from one was taken a casket of jewels and
other ornaments, which the owner, on wanting
to use them, found were taken from the drawers,
and the other contents strewed about the floor.—
Search was made without effect. The other was
robbed of four sovereigns, taken from a bureau,
from a parcel of 84 sovereigns while the proprie-
tor was asleep in bed in the same room. Every
search was made without discovering the perpe-
rator of the robbery. A few evenings after at
well dressed young man knocked at the door,
with the casket., as it was, the contents safe, and
a note, stating it Was his first attempt, and begged
that the affair might not be made public ;a similar
note, with the four sovereigns were also left at the
next door. Who the party is, or how the robbery
was comm►tted, remains as yet undiscovered.

Prince VICTOR METTER NICH, the Austrian
Ambassador at the Court of France, (whose arrival in London
we mentioned a taw days ago), has just had conferred upon
him the dignity of Chamberlain (Kammerherr), by his Impe-
rial Majesty the emperor of Austria.
