COVENT-GARDEN.

The comic Opera of The Cabinet was performed at,
this Theatre last night, under circumstances of mote;
than ordinary interest and attraction. Mr. SINCLAIR,;
an early favourite with the Public, for a certain unam-
-1
bitious sweetness and simplicity of style, and a volume
of fine voice, evidently susceptible of very high culti-
vation, made his appearance as Prince Orlando, for the
lust time, after a six years' absenZe, devoted to the
study and practice of his art, in Italy, the bative 4nd
genial clime of song. His welcome was, as might be.
expected, enthusiastic. The first duet, between Mr.
SINCLAIR and Miss PATON (as Fiore/10, is one of the
most charming performances we have witnessed in
English Opera. We could almost fancy there was
sort 61 rivalry of skill and talent ; and it Must be said
that Miss l'Arou did honour to bet English education.
In one or two passages she gave a note of singularly
!vivid and thrilling extacy. The duet was of course
enthusiasticiilly encored. Mr. SINCLAIR introduced an
air of his own composition, of remarkable taste and
sweetness. But his great triumph was an air in the
third act, by Remit. M. SINCLAIR caught the im-
petuous fervour which distinguishes the strains of this
composer with uncommon spirit. It was an admirable
display of voice, execution, and even of animated ex-
pression. It was enthusiastically encored. The Singer
an his second trial became inspired still more, almost
beyond himself; and, et the call of the audience, he
rent through it a third times with undiminished eclat.
We only add, that his success was eminent, and
that the Theatre and the Public-have made in him a
distinguished acquisitiOn. Miss PATON'S Flordta was
charmingly played; full of archness and vivacity. Her
singing, which is an admirable specimen of the dra-
matic style, was as characteristic as her dialogue; its
effect was marred, however, by. her being joined in the
duets by such a piece of inert matter as LARKIN, who
played Whimsieulo, who is barely tolerable as an actor,
bet who cannot sing at all. He was soundly and de-
servedly hissed, preserving, however, a happy uncon-
sciousness that -he was its object. Why is Fawcsrr,
who used to play the part, superannuated and cast for
Pder? He will be more effective, for 20 years to come,
than his last night's substitute. Miss HADIIMISIISLEY
gave the songs of Constantia in a pleasing, because un-
pretending manner ; and the other characters were filled
with the principal performers of the company—Mrs.
Gins playing Curiosa, with a most admirable scene of
the jealous spite at koretta's rivalry ; ;Mrs: Dp/Est-
Mr, Bianca; Miss BRAWSONT, Leonoj'a ; Mrs. Nry-
laNG, Credulia ; Mr. BLANCHARD, the MarOcis de
Grand Chateau ; Mr. BA RTLLY, Count Curvoso,

This day a Cabinet Council, being the second this
week, met at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, which
was numerously attended.
Mr. Secretary CAN/ING entertained Viscount and
Viseounteek GILASVILLZ, and a distinguished party, at dinner yes-

It is with feelings of sincere gratification that we in-
form our Readers that Lord and Lady LONDONDZARY,
on being informed of the lamentable accident that re-
cently happened at Rainton colliery, instantly trans-
mitted to their priucipal agent the sum of 1:300, with a
discretionary power to make any addition to it that
might be required, for the relief of the immedisite neces-
sittes of the relatives of the unfortunate sufferers upon
that melancholy OCca
The Committee of the Foreign Stock Eichange came
yesterday to the resolution; not to allow any quotation
to be made Of GLMISIIARD'S loan, in the list published
trtcler their.aotho:ity. AU future contracts for loans;
of whatever nature, are to be submitted to their appro-
bation before the price is• permitted to be marked.
With respect to Gerstsaaris bonds, the order of the
Committee is unnecessary ; all attempts to offer them
for sate have ceased, and the case is given up as hope-
less, evee by. the original projectOys.
hlondaylast, thirty-nine convicts were sent of from
Edinburgh Gaol, and shipped at Leith for the hulks,
preparatory to their being sent off to their destination.
It is said that the gate-bell of...Hertford prison having
been rung (probably by some idle fellows who had need
of better employment), guards, parroles, horse and foot,
guns, pistols, swords, and rattles, have been established
in endless variety in and round the gaol.
Between Saturday evening and Monday morning of
the last week, the counting-house of Cfietituts Law-
RENCL Esq. Mayor of Liverpool, was entered, and rifled
of about 1.4360 in notes and,cash, and bills of exchange;
the whole amounting to upwards of MVO.

pany with the deceased, and he is represented in the act
of committing the murder. There was last night a large
