xixc•s THEATRE.

Zincla new's Opera of Romeo ei Giulietta was per-
f.,rued last night. The piece possesses little interest
except in the concluding scene, which was performed
by Madame PASTA, who represented Romeo with much
pathos. The air of Ombra adonda, addressed to Juliet
in the tomb, is one of the finest compositions of Zia-
GArtau.t. The scene of the tomb is made to terminate,
fatally for both the lovers, nearly after the manner of
SRARSPRARR'S play as altered by GARRICK. To Eng-
lish spectators, there was much of the outr? in the con-
duct of this celebrated scene. Romeo comes to break
open the tomb with a crowd of followers, who act as
chorus ; and Juliet is allowed to rise unassisted, and
very coolly walk up to her laver before he fully recog•
nizes her. But the fine singing and acting of Madame
J'Asra suspended attention to these absurdities.—The
House was crowded.

We have much pleasure in announcing the safe ar-

voyage of nine stormy weeks. From the peril she has encountered,
added to the dreadful loss she bad previously sustained, her suffer-
ing have bean great, but we understand she is recovering her
beak! and daily. She has brought home with her very
inteseillEg = and the literary world may anticipate some
=wealth( lehemation respecting the wild regions of Africa.
The hay harvest is now universal in every part of the
country round the Metropolis; the repeated rains have rendered it
more than usually prolific, and the strong air which opened with
the new moon on Saturday night has rendered most of the hay al-
ready cut fit for cartage : except in the low meadows, the whole
harvest will very soon be completed. The changeableness of the
weather has been scarcely ever known to be so great as during the
whole of this Spring, and all the crops are heavy, with much clover
amongst it, but necessarily cut before it has come to flower. The
grass is nowhere over ripe, so as to shed much seed on the ground ;
and the earth is so moist, that the hay when cut will be apt to carry
withit to the stack more damp than will be :pike safe from firing.
The price of labour is increased from the great demand of hands;
and'the price of hay has rose, as is usual at this season, from the
near exhaustion of the stock of last Summer.
A duel took place near Llandillo, Carmarthenshire,
nn Tuesday evening, the Bth instant, between L. LEWIS,

each, fortunately without effect. The cause of the
meeting arose from the conduct of a man servant.

an assault (boxing a Common Councilman), and the de-
fendant having suffered judgment to go by default, the
case :was brought into the Sheriff's Court, Dublin, to

MATH IT A BULL.—Monday, an Inquest was held
at Castlemorton, Worcestershire, on the body of William
Pullen, who was killed by a bull. belonging to his mas-
ter, Mr. John layer of that place. It appeared that the
deeeksed was driving a two-year-old bull into an ad-
joiting field, where there were some heifers, when the
attiMil attacked him with great ferocity and tore 'wa-
llows part of Iris body in so dreadful a manner that he
onty 'ittrviVed till nett day. The poor man was seen to
strike the bull several times ; and this, from his former
docility, is supposed 'to have been the cause of his irri-
tation. The Jut:3 returned a verdict--Death front being
goi'ed baa bull. Deodand on the bull (value 255.), at the
sante time ordering the hnimal to be destroyed. The
deceased has left a wife and two small children.
ATTACK ON A LEET JURY. Friday last the fillet
Jury of Mary-la-bonne, in the 'course of their permit'',
(anions through that parish, for the purport of exa•
mining the weights and measures of the inhabitant%
net with an unexpected interruption at the shop of Mr.
Shortland, butcher, in Norfolk-street, near Middlesex
Hospital. On entering the shop, Mr. Shortland snatched
up a knife, and, with horrid imprecations, swore he
would rip up the first man that attempted to touch
either his weights sir scales. Mr. Dowson (a most re-
spectable Gentleman), foreman of the Jury, reasoned
with the man on the gross impropriety of his conduct;
but lie still persisting in hit menaces of attack, that Gen-.
tleman thought it most prudent to retire for a short
time. On re-entering the shop, they found Mr. Short.'
land still armed with the knife, which, on Riddell, the'
beadle, attempting to go towards the scales, he drapped,i
and ran up to the beadle, whom he attempted to stop,
and a slight scuffle ensued between them, which was
put a stop to by the Foreman, who, with the rest of
the Jurors, again withdrew, not however without inti-
mating their intention of representing his conduct to the
Parochial Vestry, by whom, it is understood, a prose-
cution will be instituted.
