DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Mr. LACY'S new opera, entitled the Casket, the music
from MOZA RT, and the plot, dialogue, &e., as a matter of
course, from the French, was brought out here last tight-
The plot is dull, intricate, and stupid, and founded on a
circumstance said to have occurred some time since to the
Grand Duke CONSTANTINE. With regard to the singing,
each individual did hie best. BRAHAM sung with bis
usual power, that is, with a strength of lungs whose very
softer tones were equal to those of Stentor is a passion, and
Miss 13ezTs, who appeared on the hoards of this theatre
for the first time, we believe, acted with no less grace and"
propriety than she sung. The opera as it proceeded was
received at times with disapprobation ; but, on the whole,
applause predominated. It will therefore, we presume,
be repeated.

' BOLTON PETTY SESSIONS.---Ellett Barrow,
of Ilalliwell, was charged by Mary Gnard, of the Barn°
place, with assaulting her. The only curious feature in
this case was, that the defendant was stepmother to the
complainant, and is a pi iwitive Methodist, alias a Ranter,
and upon a little girl being examined who saw the whole
affair, and who gave her evidence very properly, she, with
the greatest gravity, informed Mr. Milton, that " the girl
was brought up a Catholic, and her testimony should be
received with caution !" Mr. Hutton smiled at the wo-
man's ignorance, and ordered her to pay a penalty of b..
and 3s. 6d. costs.—? Manchester Mercury.

At the new cut which is making to regulate
the outlet of
_Loch!even, the workmen caught lately a pike
of uncommon size. It had had its former domicile none
of the bends of the old stream, from which rather ref"-,
turely it made its escwe in order to try the convenience 011
the newer channel ; to this the water had not yet been
admitted, so that there was no scope for swimming, and

the animal was taken by the first workmen who came ill
the morning. It measured four feet in length, tlvo
circumference, and weighed 401hs. Dutch. What is re-
markable, after lying 12 hours on a chest apparently dead,
ti sprung up on being touched, with a force which threw
it on the ground at the distance of several yards.—Eden-,.
