KING'S Tilt ATRE.—The :new Opera of La
Gazza Ladra As so much admired that it at-
tracted last night as numerous an. audience as
generally.attends on a.Saturday. The piece is
rendered,. very interesting, though the subject has
been rendered so familiar on the London Stages,
Patent and.minor,. CAmeoncsu is playful and
affecting, as- the incidents. require, and -was ad.
mirable in expressing joy, on her escape, tinged
with a melancholy sense of her recent danger.
The Opera was followed by a new Ballet, enti-
tled La Paysanne Supposee. It was difficult
to make out the. story, however expres-
sive the gestures, but there was admirable
dancing, and that not only gave full sa-
tisfaction to the audience, but excited warm
and reiterated plaudits ; insomuch that in
the last scene ALBERT, the most agile dancer
since the memorable days of the younger VESTRIS,
was universally called forward to receive a ,dis-
tinct tribute to his.merit. `i'he. same
.honour was
decreed to Madame Nont.rr. They both re-
turned respectful and grateful homage. We
ought to state that the new arrangement, as to the
position of the Leaders of the band, during the
Opera and-the Ballet, is found to be very inconve-
nient to the spectators to' the fall extent of the
line behind them. Resides the indecorum of
turning their backs, on a high seat, close to the
audience, the spectators in the direct line behind
are obliged to run'the hazard of knocking their
heads against their neighbours, on each side, ac-
cording to:the movement of the Actors and Dan-
cers, that they may catch a peep at them.
The remedy Fs easy-La return' to the old station,
and then the Opera will be as gratifying to th?
audienCe,.as it is creditable to the new.manage-
merit.

INrriaESTING CASE.

On Tuesday, she, 2Qth of March last, Miss
FELL, a beautiful young lady, of 17 or 18
years of .age, and of amiable and engaging man-
ners, left her father's house, in Douglas (Isle of
Man), and after. visiting- several of her relations,
. walked out by herself, in .a depressed state of
mind. Not returning before dark, her parents
began to entertain serious apprehensions for her
safety, and inquiries were set immediately on
foot. The night passed and the morning brought
no tidings.of her. This circumstance soon became
the subject of general conversation and regret
throughout the whole island.. And the young then
with a zeal creditable to their feelings pursued
their searchthrough every part of the island. Their
researches, however,- failed to bring any tidings
to alleviate the solicitude of her parents. :Her
mother becam.e dangerouOy ill. Here was in-
deed a double grief ; her son, a young Physician
,of promise, had a short time
.begun business, was
only a few days before .brought horde, having
been, attacked by .a.brain fever, from the melan-
choly effects of which there were little hopes of re-
covery.. At last the mystery attending the disap-
pearance of Miss Fell- was developed. She had
walked out alone by the sea shore, and about 3miles
.to
the south of Douglas head, where the rocky
I Coast rises very high and abrupt ; while absorbed
in thought she accidentally slipped, when on the
brink of a cliff, down which she was precipitated,
and fell upon a shelving part of the rock a consi-
derable distance below. Her knee was hurt by the
fall, and .she was otherwise much bruised'; she
made' several attempts Ito climb up, but found
it in vain ; the spot upon which she stood was
nearly surrounded by the sea,'the spray of which
often dashed over her, and had the wind been in
any other direction than from the land, the
waves would have swept her into the abyss.
beyond the reach of human ken, deprived of all
possibility of seeing or making a signal to any
one on land, with a form too delicate to abide
without shrinking the frosty winds, and a
mind too sensible and refined not to tremble
at the thoughts .of the distress which .her
parents would feel for her unaccountable ab-
sence, the feelings of this distracted female may
be better conceived than expressed. Her situa-
tion however, was, in some degree, rendered
less painful during the period of her abode on
the sea-girt rock, by sleeping a considerable
portion of her time. On. searching her circum-
scribed abode she found a-Spring of water, but
so small that she could scarcely avail herself of it.
On the day after she fell down she saw se-
veral-boats passing and vessels at a distance, but
as she would appear on those gigantic cliffs
no bigger than a bird, she was not seen sy-
any of their navigators, and her voice, which
had become hoarse with shouting, was inaudible
at so great a distance. On Friday the 23d, she
saw a vessel not far off; her voice was now en-
tirely broken, she could only make a slight signal
with her -handkerchief, which caught the eyes
of the boatman, wino rowed towards her. When
they ascended the rock they found her on
her knees, with her hands clasped in the attitude
of prayer ; she appeared to be somewhat insen-
sible, but disclosed her name and situations--
Having nearly lost the use of her limbs, she was
carefully lifted up by one of the boatmen,and car-
ried down to the boat ; having laid her down ib the
boat, she immediately fell asleep. To avoid the
crowd of spectators, who would have hurried from
every part of Douglas to welcome her restora-
tion, she was ptivately placed in a chaise by tha
side of her father, and taken .home, where sha
continued in a gradual state of recovery; her
mother, however, her feelings being torn by the
misfortune of her son, and the loss of her daughter,
could not endure the tide of affection that rush-
ed upon her when her daughter was brought to
.her, and in a few days after we have the fol-
lowing passage in a letter to a Gentleman in
Liverpool :—" We have dreadful news at present
in Douglas (the unfortunate family of Fell'shave
now more reason to be pitied than ever; poor Mrs.
Fell is no more." From.a subsequent letter, it
appears that Miss Fell put a period to her exist-
ence in a fit of derangement.--(Liverpool Paper,
.April 6,)

Bow-STREET.--A curious -.case came to be
heard before Mr. BIRNIE, the Magistrate, on
Monday, under the following circumstances. At
the close of the investigation in the House of Lords
respecting the Queen's conduct, when the illumi-
nation took place, a Gentleman told a boy he
wed give him sixpence if he Would break the
windows of a house that was not lighted up,
which the boy accordingly did. The parties
occupying the house discovered who the boy
was, and applied to the father for payment
for the damage done to the windows, which
he refused to pay : the consequence was, he was
.tummoned .to the Court of Requests for the
amount, when the Commissioners dismissed the
complaint, on the mistaken notion that they had
not power, because an Act Of: Parliament which
passed the last session, making a charge of damage
done to property cognizable and-punishable be-
fore a Magistrate in a summary way ; but this
Act was, intended to apply principally to persons
committing depredations on property who were
not known. On Monday, the Gentleman who
gave the boy sixpence to induce him to break
the windows, was brought before .Mr.
charged with the offence. His Attorney at-
tended, and took an objection to the pro-
ceedings, on the ground that his Client
had not broken the windows. He admitted
that he- had given the boy sixpence to
break them, but he contended that what he
had done was not within the meaning of the Act.
The objection being allowed by the Magistrate,
the charge was dismissed.

The fate Sir CHARLES BUNBURY was, at one
period of his life, the most fortunate speculator
on the turf, particularly at Newmarket ; and at
his death possessed the first tired stud in the
kingdom, the whole of which will now probably
be brought to the hammer. It is remarkable
that the worthy Baronet never was knows to
wear gloves,
,and although he. was a constant
pedestrian when in town, in all weathers, he
never was seen on, the pave without extremely
" clears hands."
