THEA!

IN

Orean.flownto— Roman's beautiful Opera, esti-
tled /1 rake en Belie, was perfestied for the • first
time this season on Saturday . night. An as
was circulated for Madame liana Da Beam, who
is indisposed with.a cold, but the elect of her voice
was. slightly impaired by it. and her acting, as tmid,
Was admirable. Signor Carron' represented Seib* ;
the test of the- east was as usual. Several of the airs
were encored. The ballet of The Carnival of Venice
followed, in which Signor ALalwr and Mademoiselle •
ANATOLI, shone conspicuous fer grace mid agility.
The house was crowded with fashion, ineluding the
Marchionesses of LONDONDIRIT and BArn, Ladies
UKBRIDOS, LONDON, C. LIMON, &c. &c. the Dike
of ARGYLL, Lord VICSULAN; &C. &C.
Dnvav-LAna.--A new piece, in three Acts, called'
Adeline, was produced on Saturday night at this
Theatre. The story is extremely simple and affect
ing. The incidents in the piece arise out of the .ef-
forts of the heroine, Adeline, to escape the snares con-
trived for her ruin by her lover, a man of rank and
afiluence, who has obtained possession of her heart,
and contrived to.get her person into his power. The
incidents are sometimes carried beyond the probable,
and the sentiments strained beyond the natural; yet
the main features of the plot are such as must always
engage the feelings of an audience. Youth, beauty,
and innocence, in distress, and an aged father, over-
whelmed by the ruin of his only earthly, hope, are
s iecmcles which will ever comoiand an interest in
tie hearts of an audience. The materials, too, are
t :rued to very good account,*almost every scene fur-
n slung situations excellently adapted to create sur-
p ~e and attention, and prOductive of strong drama-
t effect. Miss COP/LAND, to whom the part of the
heroine was assigned, acquitted herself of her ar-
duous to k in a manner to merit the highest praise.
Mr. Coorrnex personation of the father was judicious,
correct, ln.i pathetic in the highest degree. The
Rustic, who is drawn with a heart of the finest
mould, was sustained by Mr. KNIGHT, with that
puwettul esprission of unsophisticated honesty and
kind-heartedness which is almost peculiar to him.—.
To the exertions of these three performers, which
called forth repeated bursts of applause, is to be at-
tributed, in great,px.rt, the success which the Drama
obtained. The Overture is pleasing—and one or two
nex xcenes, in pirticular the last, handsome. A ballet
was introduced in the third act, at the end of which
Mis&Tees jiaticed a pas seal with reat elegance, and
the admilati?n or some of the audamee so far got the
bears of this; ,cOnsiderAti on as to insist en a repetition
of it.' The iliseir was announced fur a second rem-
' .sentationivith very general approbation. The Co.
.niedy of Three frce /per Mai dap, and Paul acrd
completed the evening's entertainments.

A respectable Meeting of the Occupiers and
Owners sat Land in the County of Worcester, took
pl.O -kin Friday, in the Guildhall, Worcester, E.
ImAc. Esq. in the Chair, when a series of Resolutions
were prcipoed by Mr. J. RICI/A IDS, and seconded by
Adv. SPOONER, attributing the real causes of the agri-
cultural distress which at present prevailed " to ex
cessive tAxation, and the fraud and injustice com-
mitted by the changes in the value of money r and
s ggesting that "taxes, and public and private debts,
and all other monied obligations incurred previously
to 1819 should be diminished ill the same degree in
which the value of money has been augmented. That
all public salaries ought ai" in the same proportion,
to be reduced; and that, to prevent the recurrence of
these evils, above all things it was necessary that the
House of Commons should be thoroughly reformed."
Mr. B. Comma moved an amendment, in effect pro-
posing as a iensrdy for the distresses of the agricul-
turist. the creation of a protecting duty on fi:reign
corn; but this seas negatived, and the original Reso-
lutions were carried.

It appears by Mr. Humes statement, exhibited in
the House of Commons on Tuesday night, that the
stet Revenue of England and Ireland, ending Janu-
ary the sth, 1821, was Pi Millions, and that the
expenditure for the same period, exclusive of the
Sinking Fund was 5711 millions; the one being de-
ducted horn the other, leaves 2* millions sur-
plus in favour of the country; which surplus of 2
millions was the real' Sinking Fund on the 3th ofJa-
rosary, 1821, available for the purchase of so much
81.er Cent. Stock as the 21 millions would purchase.
Liking the price of the 3 per Cents. OA the average
at 7.5, the 2i millions would have cancelled about three
millions of principal of Stock, paying an interest of
090,000. a-yeah.
blademuiselle REBOOT, (the schoolmistress with
whom Mr. Lovxnav placed his two daughters and •
niece) has published a long reply to the charge of
having seduced them to Popery. The Lady, in this
production—,, got up" by herself and two advocates
—at once fails of justifying herself, and succeeds in
proving the want of proper care, or rather, we
should say, the absence of a very natural suspicion, on
the part of the father. Mademoiselle Reboul.seerus
