KING'S THEATRE.

Severe as the weather wss on Saturday, the
attraction of a new Comic Opera, was evident in
a well-filled Pit, as well as iu ntimerons visitors
t o Boxes. The new Opera is -intided La Ce-:
nerentula (Cinderella), anti is founded upon the
old story, which most have delighted the infantile
days of our Readers. There are, however, essen-
tial deviatioos from the well-known story, anti
nothing of. supernatural machinery is introduced.
The following is an abstract of the fable in this
new piece :
Cinderella (Madame BELLocnt), the step-daughter of Don
Magnifico (AstartOrs.F.rrta, strlfers repeated injuries. front
his
daughters, Clarinda and" Thisbe Cignora Mont and Madame
Galv), and forced by them to submit to the most menial ser-
vices; .t Pilgrim (Rom kluo) enter s the palace of Don NlSignifiCo
to ask dtarity—he is repulsed by the two proud siste s, but
gets. 'refreshment from • the compassionate Cinderella. The
Prince of Salerno (Tonal), having determined to trek for a
wife among the beauties of Isis neighbourhood, announces his
intention of visiting Dols Magnifico, who is delighted with the
Voltam conferredupou him. The Pri nee, to form his jegmr
nt
comes in ditguise, and appears as the squire of his own valet,
Datulini (PLacct), who is depot ed to take Isis character'. The
pretended Squire meets Cinderella in her menial dress, and is
charmed with her. Damn's' makes love to the Ladies, and
they are invited to a Ball given loy the Prince ; Cinderella
petitions to go, but is refused, nod she contrives to appear
there, to the surprise of Don Magnifico and Isis daughters.—
The ball breaks, up, and on their return home, Cinderella is
found its her usual attire, and excites astonishment at the si-
milarity of the beauty that so lately moved before them ; the
Valet avows himself to the shame of the Baron ; the Prince
also avows himself, and makes Cinderella the partner of his
Throne.
The music is by Rostmu, and is not unworthy
of his reputation. It is light, and rich in accom,
paniements and chorusses., A MBROGE rn, in the
besotted old Father, was admirably cotnic:—
The new Performer, Signor TOttat, is a good
looking man. His voice is hy.no means power

with taste and expressinn, and is evidently
a good musician.

be deemed puerile, unless illustrated:in a Ballet.

SPEECH
OF THE
RIGHT HON IV. C. PLUNKL.T.

(Front the (Dublin) Coi•respondent.)
[The following Report of Mr. Minkel's Speech contains a
much fuller statement than any that has yet appeared of
what fell from that Right Honourable Gentleman in the
,House of Commons ; and, as it embraces topics of import-

ant local", as well as, general interest, we now offer it to
the Public.] •

Mr. INtrimeT commenced by observing,. that
the question, before ihe House had not been very
fairly treated. Much had been introduced whien
did +Jot necessarily connect itself %vitt, the. subject,„
and which had a tendency to divest the atteutiou
of-the. Noose from the deeply importeut matters....
which pressed for their consideration.,
There had been some addres4 in nriaing the
case of Lotel Fitzwilliatn so principal a topic. AS '
a ground of argument, applicable to the present
question, it could out be jostlytesorted to by-ense
person who did not go the length of asserting,
that the (hankie! of that Nobleman would war-
rata Parliament in a refusal to coosider, 01 to
make provision against, the dangers With wire%
the country was threatened, and which were an..
noticed in the Speech from the Thrune. No per-
son, on any sine of the House-, had laid down 30
extreme a position
.on the contrary, the amend-
ment of his -Right lionottrable Frieod'atlinnted
the danger,.and the..oecessity. of nieetiog it by
suitable provisions. lle would, therefore, in his
view of the subject relieve himself front a discus-
sion which he entail not approach without feel-
ings of great embarrassment. •• His habitual re-
vereuce for that distinguished Nobleman was.
such, that, he could scarcely hope to bring his
maid, fairly and impartielly, to any investrgwiers
which affected Re considered los cherac-
ter as", uniting every thing noble and generous
its
freedom, with every, thing which could exalt or
dignify the alistocrecy of the country ; and he
therefore took leave to dismiss this solkject as one
trot connected With the debate ; and, in doing so,
he felt much* satisfaction in the statement of the
Noble Lord, (Castlereagh)) that the dis Missal of
Lord Fazwillians was foniultd, not on any personal
imputation, but ona difference of opinion with his
Majesty's Government, on points involving the ex-
ercise
of his duties as Lord Lieutenant of m he %Vest
Biding. Again, he thought the subject had, in
another respect, not beau very fairly. treated Isy
his Right Honourable Friend, or by his Honour-
able euel Learned Friend who immediately pre-
ceded him. it was stated, the Speech lions
t ne:chrone, that a revolutionary spirit was at
work in the country which threatened its safety
and' its existence; and the (twit of this state-
ment was riot denied, but indeed admitted, by the
amendment.. ' Was it, then, perfectly fair to call
the attention of the Rouse from the consideration
at this public danger, and its remedies--from the
machinations anti arts of those who were.prepar-
ing measures for the subversion of the State, and
the overthrow of every constituted authority--to
the plans and objects of that portion of the peace.
