COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

An English version of Cimarosa's chef d'oeuvre,
Ii Matrimonio Segreto, was produced at this theatre
last evening, under the title of The Secret Marriage.
When this opera, the plot of which is taken from the
comedy of the Clandestine Marriage, was first pro-
duced at Vienna some sixty years since, the Emperor
Joseph, who was present, was so pleased .that he
ordered the immediate repetition of the opera the
same evening, after he had given the actors a good
supper to recruit their strength. The audience last
evening seemed to be as delighted as the Emperor
had been, and testified their delight in much the same
sort of manner, with the exception of the supper,
with this difference, however, that 'whereas the Empe-
ror commanded the repetition of the opera as a whole,
they commanded its repetition piece-meal, by encor-
ing almost every piece of music in the composition.
We were delighted to see the manner in which this
truly classical composition was executed by English
artists, and received by an English audience. Its suc-
cess, which was most brilliant, was entirely owing to
the intrinsic merits of the composition itself, and the
manner in which those merits were developed by the
artists. There are no choruses, 'no dances, noproces-

tions, no scenery. The action is carried on
in a drawing-room, and six persons consti-
tute the whole of the dranuttis persona!; and •
yet, in the absence of all those ad captandunt ad-
ditantenta, on which we have been wont heretofore to
consider that the success of an opera mainly de-
pended, a Covent-garden audience, thanks to the im-
proved taste of the English musical public, received
the Matrimonio Segreto with all the enthusiasm with
which a Roman audience would have received this,
the most exquisite work of their favourite composer.
It is easy throughout this opera to recognise the hand
of the maestro whose style' Rossini has chosen for his
model, and he could not have made a better choice.
The Matrimonio Segreto is the perfection of comic
opera composition, and as long as opera buffa is appre-
ciated, so long will the Matrimonio Segreto retain its sta-
tion.. The following was the cast of the opera:—Carolina
(the Fanny Stirlin of the original comedy), Miss
Adelaide Kemble ; } idalma (Mrs. Heidelberg), Mrs.
Alfred Shaw; Elisetta (Miss Stirling), Miss Rain-
forth ; Signor Geronimo (Old Stirling), Mr. Giubi-
lei ; Count Montoni (Sir John Melvil), Mr. Leffler ;
Paolino (Lovel), Mr. W. Harrison. With such a
cast it is needless to say that every justice was done
to the opera, both in a musical and dramatic sense.
The quarrelling terzetto in the first act between
Carolina, Elisetta, and Fidalma, was sung and acted
admirably, and elicited shouts of laughter and ap-
plause. This was encored as well as the rondo by

Fidalma immediately at its conclusion. In the
scene in which Montoni announces to Carolina

that she is the objeCt---of- his attachment, and
not Elisetta, Miss Kemble introduced an air
of Paesiella's, " When a lad for love is sueing,"
which she sang with excellent taste and effect,
and which was of course loudly encored. Her shake
at the conclusion of this air is one of the most aston-

ishing performances of the sort we have ever heard.
Her acting, too, was full of espieglerie : nothing could
surpass the assumed simplicity of her manner to the
Count while addressing him in the words of this song.-
Mrs. Alfred Shaw, as Fidalma, was first-rate. She
succeeded most effectually in making herself appear
the antiquated maiden aunt. It is needless to say
that the music of the part received every justice at
her hands. Both Miss Kemble and Mrs. Alfred Shaw
were. admirably supported by Miss Rainforth, as Eli-
setta. Of these three ladies it is hdrd to say to which
to award the palm. Guibilei, as the deaf old Ge-
ronimo, was exquisitely comic—just what a primo
buffo ought to be. The finale of the first act, and the
opening duet of the second, were given with great
gusto. The latter duet, between him and Leffler
(the scene in which he proposes to transfer his af-
fections from one daughter to the other), was encored.
He was admirably supported by Leffler, who com-
pletely entered into the spirit of his part, and seemed
thoroughly to enjoy it. Harrison's Paolino, although
a manifest improvement on his former attempts at
Italian music, was yet somewhat deficient in refine-
ment, and at times wanting in power. At the fall of
the curtain, the calls for the whole of the dramatis
personae were vociferous, and they accordingly made
their appearance, Harrison leading on Miss Kemble,
Leffler Miss Rainforth and Guibilei Mrs. Alfred
Shaw, The house was crowded to excess long before
the rising of the curtain. At a quarter to seven
o'clock there was no standing room in the pit.

MISS HARRIET MARTINE AU.
Yesterday evening a Meeting was held at the South
London Hall of Science, Blackfriars-road, for the pur-
pose of testifying the public admiration of the conduct
of Miss Martineau in refusing the pension offered her
by the late Whig Administration. The large hall and
galleries were crowded to excess, and amongst the au-
dience we observed a number of elegantly dressed
females.

Colonel THOMPSON took the Chair shortly after
eight o'clock, and in an eloquent address, commented
upon the services rendered by Miss Martineau to her
humbler countrymen, and also upon her glorious
struggle in the slavery abolition cause in America.
He then proceeded to say that her line of conduct was
a bold one for a woman—it was a startling doctrine to
corrupt legislators and aristocratic pensioners to say
that no person was entitled to receive donations from
the public purse until those from whom the money
was drawn had a fair share in the nomination of the
donors. When the full light of freedom which was
now dawning upon England shone forth in mid-day
brightness they should never forget that Miss Marti-
neau was one of the principal agents in effecting the
glorious consummation.—(Loud cheers.) Ile should
conclude by introducing to the meeting a lady who
would propose the first resolution.
Mrs. CHAPPELGATE here came forward, and was
received with loud and long-continued cheering. She
said that, although upon some pints, such as the New
Poor-laws, and others of minor importance, she
differed from the respected and talented lady whom
they were met that evening to honour, yet none held
in higher estimation her efforts in the cause of rational
liberty, or the taleut and high moral feeling by which
she was so pre-eminently distinguished, than she did.
After an eloquent discourse, Mrs. Chappelgate con-
cluded by moving the following resolution :—" That
this meeting highly appreciates the conduct of Miss
Martineau, in refusing the lately proffered pension,
although there has been rarely an instance where the
Royal bounty has been so well bestowed."
Mr. SMITH seconded the resolution, which was
passed with much acclamation.
Mr. DUNCAN proposed the next resolution, which
was to the fellowing effect:—That it was the opinion
of the meeting that the answer of Miss Martineau to
the offer made by the late Government involved a
deep principle, since, if the people were properly re-
presented, any act of the Executive would be that of
fir.; public—and was seconded by Mrs. AIARTIN.
This resolution was also adopted.
A vote of thanks having been passed unanimously
to the Gallant', Chairman, the meeting separated
shortly afterwards.

THE REDUCTION OF THE THREE-AND-A-HALF
PER CENTS.—If the rumoured intention of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer to reduce the interest of this
stock be carried into effect in conjunction with the
Income-tax, the Government will deprive the holders
of that Stock of 17 per cent. of their income. If this
be not confiscation what is ? The stockholders are
the creditors of the State, and their powerful debtor,
knowing they cannot help themselves, takes away
one-sixth of their property. The stockholders in ge-
neral are great admirers of Goulburn and Peel, be-
cause they prate about public credit, but if the stock-
holders henceforth continue to admire them it will be
for much the same reason as the spaniel loves his
master, or the sheep the shearer.
REDUCTION OF RENTS.—The rents must be re-
duced, but generally the landlords will hold out to the
last moment. However, there are some proprietors al-
ready setting an example, as you will see by the fol-
lowing paragraphs from the provincial papers :—"Ma-
jor-General Dickson has most considerately set the
example of an abatement of 25 per cent. in the rents
of his tenants at Clounlahard, in this countv—a dis-
trict comprising 6,000 acres—and instructed his agent
Daniel Dickson Power, Esq., to purchase bed cover-
ing, &c., for necessitous objects on his estate."—Lime-
rick Chronicle. " Wm. Beamish, Esq., of Beaumont,
near this city, last week visited his estate near Bor-
risoleigh, county Tipperary, and remitted 25 per cent.
on his rents, besides giving 3/. an acre for the purchase
of lime, with other sums for materials for building
slated houses, and premiums for the neatest cottages
and best crops—in all, a sum amounting to upwards
of 500/."—Cork Examiner.
REMEDY FOR SEA SICKNESS.—Take as much
Cayenne pepper as you can bear, in a basin of hot
soup, and all sickness, nausea, or squeamishness will
disappear.—Boulogne Gazette.
The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel
the John Bull, from Hamburg, arrived off the Custom-
houses at nine o'clock yesterday with the Hamburgh
mail.

SUN OFFICE Three o'Clock.

The following observations, which we borrow
from the New York Herald, show how the new
American tariff may be expected to operate
there. They show also what a powerful auxi-
liary we should find in that commercial metro -
polis of the western world, in repealing that tariff,
would we only open our corn trade. They show
further, that there are other causes of alienation
besides the tariff between the north-eastern
States, and the southern maritime States, which
would help our interest, and help the interest of
the Americans also, were our legislators only to be
just to our own people :
The city of New York has grown to be the metro-
polis of America. It is the largest city in the New
World. The cause of its prosperity, and the meads
by which it has attained its ascendency, have been its
foreign trade. It has been the point of 'communica-
tion with Europe from which a large proportion
of domestic goods have been sent abroad, and
to which sixty per cent. of the imports of foreign
goods have arrived. Its increase, in proportion to
other parts of the Union, may be estimated by the
fact, that the proportions of the whole imports ar-
rived here in 1823 was 35 per cent., and gradually in-
creased to 60 per cent. Under the descending gp.de
of the Compromise Act its prosperity rapidly increased.
In the same time Boston and New England have
grown surprisingly in manufacturing strength. Their
goods, for the most Fort, however, came to New York,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, for distribution through-
out the Union. According to the census returns—
$114,000,000 of goods were manufactured in the New
England States : of this, $75,000,000 may be esti-
mated to have been sold through the cities men-
tioned, and of that $40,000,000 came yearly to New
York for distribution, mostly by way of the canal,
west. The foreign goods imported into New York were
$60,000,000, making an aggregate of $100,000,000
of trade, depending partly upon its geographical
position in relation to the western trade, and partly
upon tariff law, restricting the competition of the im-
ports with the domestic goods. This being the posi-
tion of the city of New York, what have the New
England States done ? By building a railroad direct
from the heart of the factories to the mouth of the Erie
canal—the great avenue for the western trade—
they have opened a short, speedy, and cheap route for
that trade, which completely isolates New. Yolit in
regard to it. The whole trade of New England,
which formerly passed through this city to and from
the west, now leaves New York and passes, under
the direct influence of the vast capital of Boston, over
the railroad, commanding all the markets west of
Albany. The operations of the railroad may be
judged by the following receipts for three days at
Boston :-5,045 brls. flour, 147 bales wool, 266 kegs
and tubs butter, 30 casks cheese, 17 brls. beer, 37
boxes Saratoga water.
That this is not a rare occurrence, the following
notice will testify :—" Consignees of flour by the
Western Railroad are notified to remove the same
immediately, as there is not room enough in the depot
to unload the cars."
The nett receipts of the road for three years in
September were as follows :-1840, $16,581 ; 1841,
$23,559 ; 1842, $60,442.
Last year the road was not open west of Spring-
field. If we allow that the increase of that portion of
the road was the same as that of the previous year,
viz., 50 per cent., it will give $26,000 as the re-
ceipts from the freight from Albany for September.
This is sufficient to show that the enterprise of the
Bostonians has taken the wind out of the sails of New
York in relation to the western trade. _

Not satisfied with this, however,
,her leading men,
Abbott. Lawrence and others, have, with untiring
perseverance, procured the passage of a tariff, which,
in the present state of trade, strikes a fatal blow at the
import trade of New York. After having, by legiti-
mate enterprise, deprived New York of the commis-
sion trade of Eastern manufactures, they have pro-
cured the interposition of the law to turn the foreign
'trade from our ships and wharfs to British bottoms
and the St. Lawrence river. While these vast events,
big with the ruin of New York and the aggrandize-
ment of New England, .have been going on, the
people of, •New York have been lulled to sleep by the
false representations of the press which they support.
Like.the fabled vampire, which, ,by its wavinc, wings
lulls its victim in a fatal sleep, while it,silentry sucks
his heart's blood, a corrupt' partisan press have been
Singing the pr'aiscs of a' high tariff, while the com-
merce and trade of the city have been drawn to other
quarters. With cool decision the English merchants,
• instead of checking their operation, only alter the
destination of their wares from the udson to the St.
Lawrence, and smile at the folly of our Government.
That teaches a valuable lesson. The people of
New York could tolerate the loss of the western
trade by the railroad, which is legitimate traffic,
but they cannot put up with the new tariff. The
one only changes the course of trade in the
Union; the other banishes it beyond the frontier.
New York has flourished much, notwithstand-
ing our Corn-law, but the American tariff
threatens it with ruin. Smuggling will become
rife along the whole Canadian frontier ; the
shipping of the United States; with all the towns
on their sea-board, will be injured; and their own
laws, and not our laws, will inflict on them in-
jury and ruin. So it is with us. Their tariff
will inflict on us much less harm than our own
regulations. In fact, were we to abolish our
own unjust commercial restrictions, and the
United States were to retain their ',tariff, the
bulk of the trade between that country and
England would be carried on through Canada by
English shipping. W e should lose nothing by it.
So it is with other nations. The high duties on linen
yarn imported into France, do not injure our
trade so much as our own Corn-laws, and our
high duties on French wines and French brandy.
It is in our power to-morrow to extend our trade
with France by lowering or abolishing our own
duties. Ifit be for the advantage of the French to
receive our commodities—and that advantage
would be great in proportion as we took their
commodities—no laws, no armies, could keep
them out of France. If the French Govern-
ment continued its prohibition, it would not stop
the trade, it would only lose its revenue. It is,
we believe, universally true, that the trade and
prosperity of any one nation depend much more
on its own regulations than on the regulations of
other nations; and, therefore, we conclude that
it is the great business of our Legislature to do
justice to our own people, and encourage foreign
Governments to do the same.

The Dublin Pilot has an article on the subject
of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy, from, which it is
manifest that our Irish Contemporary is no ido-
latrous admirer of the Right Hon. Baronet or his
measures. " Never did man,"• says he, "so
heartily deserve the epithet of Deceiver-General
as PEEL has done in the short period of his Pre-
miership. Contrasting his promises' with his
performances—his pretences with his acts—the
good for which alone he seemed to value
power, and the wanton evil he has done in
its exercise—one actually stands astonished
at human endurance." This is a pretty good
simple of sincere and cordial vituperation.
Doubtless when Sir IL PEEL exempted Ireland
from the operation of that most iniquitous of im-
posts, the Income-tax, he imagined that he was
establishing a claim, if not on her gratitude, at
least on her forbearance; but he now finds to his
cost, that he was mistaken in this, as in most of
his other expectations. Really he is much to be
pitied, notwithstanding his acquisition of that
high post which he has so long coveted. No one
seems to be satisfied with him—no one gives him
credit for any thing but an incorrigible
habit of temporising. If he brings forward a
liberal Tariff, forth steps the Edinburgh Review,
and indignantly asserts that he has stolen the
idea from the Whigs. He is allowed to call the
Income-tax his own—which it is not, by-the-bye
—but this only because it is generally abhorred,
and consequently no one is willing to acknow-
ledge the paternity. By endeavouring to stand
well with all classes, Sir ROBERT PEEL has met
with the usual fate of temporisers., and earned
the dislike and distrust of those whom he was
most anxious to propitiate.

From the friendly political relations between
this country and Prussia, the similarity of their

Alail
established religions, and the reform movement .10.0
commenced by the Prussian SOVEREIGN, the
.. .4
proceedingg in that kingdom now excite more o-'
, ....,
than ordinary interest among 'Englishmen.
Prussia,'from being a small insignificant State, has
in a brief period risen to great power and
authority with its neighbours, and already .
I.
exercises more influence over Germany than x..,,i,
Austria did when at the head of the Confedera- ~fiCO
tion. It is gratifying, therefore, to find that this ~ 1.1,4'!
influence' is exerted, not fur the purposes of war' ' ' ' "0.
or aggrandisement, but in advancing the arts of
::-,."fliii
peace and improving the institutions of
.the :os,
country. The meeting of the Provincial States, . ilia;
which we announced some days ago, fore's•-'1
not the least remarkable feature in the new Sys- ,
tern of government adopted by this wise and just ,0.1

resembling that annually submitted to the 110 'ag

nounces a reduction of taxes to the amount .0f 0 tri
660,0001., without any substitute in the shape °f
