One of the most splendid dramas which we have for
years witnessed, was last night produced at.shis House,
under the title of The Enchanted Courser; or, The
Sultan of Curdistan. The piece is founded on the
tale of " the Enchanted Horse," which occurs in The
Arabian Nigher` batitoinseents. The principal de-
psi tine from the original consists in investing the soy.
serer, to whom the enchanted courser belongs, with the
character of Sultaapf Curdision, an elevatioWat Which
he is supposed to have arrived by the murder of his
brother. Feeling the insecurity of his power, he hopes
to strengthen it by an alliance with the Panes of
Cachemere, who is already betrothed to the Primo: of
Persia; and he offers the enchanted courser, a complete

Pegasus, which has. the rare quality of travellin,
through the air as a purchase for her hand, His *utt'
is rejected; tat, with the assistance of the enchanted
courser, he forcibly seises the Princess, and takes her to'
uis mountain formai. Thither he is pursued by the;
Prince of Perrin--his strong hold is seised—he is hinV
self slain—and the Princess is restored to her lover.,
The Horses performed 'fewer and less imposing fee*
.titan in any of the other Piece* in which they were eo
much admired. This 'necessarily produced disappoint-
ment, and inclined the audience not to view the other
parts of the Piece in the best possible temper. The
scenery is of the most beautiful, description, and a
grand proce on was managed with great order and
effect. The literary part of this class of the drama is
not generally held amenable to rigid criticism, because
.it is made subservient to the splendour and pageantry,
intended to feed the alone.

We rejoice to learn, that twelve additional districts
have been relieved by the LOAM LIZUTENIINT hens the
operation of the Insurrection Act in Ireland. It
spy only exists as to very few Baronies, and in these
there is hope that it will soon be dispensed with. No.
Idling can bear testimony stronger than this, to the effect
(which the liberal policy of. Lord WILLI/KEY has had
In restoring the confidence of the Irish people. There
can be no better criterion of good government than its
tranquillizing these disturbed districts, and bringing
them back, by its influence, to a willing obedience to
the laws.

A fine new iron gate was on Wedretdsy erected at

and in the course of some days after both died, within
'a few hours of each other..—Dablia Manias Post.
