THE KING'S THEATRE.

Mademoiselle Sorrrac made her first appearance here
last night, as Cinderella, in the delightful opera of La
Cenerentola. She was received with applause, but not
enthusiasm, by a full, but not an overflowing house. As
far as appearance goes, this young lady is little, if at all,
changed from what we remember to have seen her last
year. Her face, perhaps, is a little thinner, but its sweet
feminine expression still remains the same. With regard
to her voice, the quality of its tones is, we think, im-
proved. She sings, too, apparently with more ease to
herself, and manages her voice with more than her former
skill. The songs, last night, were given with great effect,
especially a quintette, which she sustained to great advan-
tage, together with Signors DONZELLI, PELLIGRINI,
ZUCHELLI, and Ds ANGELI, and which was rapturously
encored. Signor ZucHama, as Don Magnifico, dis-
played much comic humour and vivacity. At the fall of
the curtain, Mademoiselle SONTAG was led on to the stage
to receive the congratulations of the audience.

Sir GEO. WARRENDER'S third concert con-
sisted of a Miscellaneous Selection from the Italian School,
and concluded with that ne plus ultra of all concerted
pieces, the Finale to the first act of II Don Giovanni,
which was performed in a manner seldom or never equalled
on any previous occasion. The vocalists were the same as
at the former two concerts, the whole under the direction
of Punt. The sustained harmonies and effective modula-
tions (with which vocal music abounds in the accompani-
ments) played by the petit orchestre, renders these per-
formances infinitely superior to those which the fashion-
able world are accustomed to hear at private parties.

On Tuesday last, seven young unmarried men,
of the agricultural class, left Epworth for America, in con-
sequence of the distress experienced in the agricultural dis-
tricts. On the morning of Friday, the Dapper sailed from

New York, being the third vessel this year; and the
Clarkson sailed on the following day for Quebec, with
about 100 passengers.—Manchester Timcs.

The northern district head-quarters (Armagh),
and the south -western head-quarters (Limerick), are, it

eastern and western, the latter with the Cork district.

TRADE WITH THE EAST INDIES AND
CHINA.—It appears by a Parliamentary paper just pub-
lished, that the total amount of goods exported from Great

Mauritius, for the year ending the sth of January, 1829,
was 5.212,8531. 4s. 6d., of which 1,126,9261. 7s. 7d.
was by the East India Company, and 4,084,4261. 16s.
11 d. by free trade, including the privilege trade.

A BRIDGE DEFENDED.—On Wednesday
morning, a squadron of the 7th Dragoon Guards pass-d
through Gainsbro', on their route to Ipswich. The bridge
there being private property, and built under an Act of
Parliament authorising a certain toll from every person
passing it, an interruption took place, the commanding
officer refusing to pay for each man, in consequence of the
supposed effect of a clause in the late Mutiny Act, enabing
the military to pass all bridges toll free, notwithstanding all
acts to the contrary. After being delayed upwards of three
hours, both men and horses exposed to the severity of one
of the coldest mornings whicichas been felt for years, at
this late period of the season, an,Frangement took place, by
which they were permitted to pass.-- York Courant.
