ROSSINI'S Opera of Sentiramide was performed on
Friday night at this Theatre, in a manner wrathy of the
great beauty of the music. It is very strongly sup-
ported—Madame PASTA is the haughtyAueen—REMO.
atm, the ambitious Assnr, who aspires to her hand and
throne—Pont°, the Chief of the 21lagi—GARCIA,
Ithrenns, King of India—and Madams VESTA! S, a
Scythian Warrior. The overture and
,introductory
chorus have great merit, and were loudly applauled
ti:e whole Opera was received with continual applause;
much attention has been paid to the charusses. On
Madame VESTRIS'S first appearance, the audience
tri-ced some milts of displeasure, arising from their
diiappoiniment on Tuesday evenirg, being attribu.ed
by Mr. AlfitToN to her refusal to perform. Mr.
ATRTON naw came forward with Madame VESTRIL
and assured the audience that such was not the case.
Madame Vestals, mulch ag;tated, said that she did not
leave the rehearsal till three o'clock on• Tuesday, and
begged and intreated of Mr. ESERS to " do the Send-
ra mide," but that Mr. AYRTON would not allow it to
be performed. • Mr. AYRTON now retired, and Madame
Vestals, quite overpowered, again briefly addressed
the audience, and hoped, they would credit her asser-
tion, for it was the truth ; she then begged permission
_to retire, burst into tears, and made her exit, much
applauded.

• COMBINATION AND REFUSAL OF THE

rnom TIIE GLASGOW CHROW/CLE, MAY 20.
It is lamentable that the example made last week has
had little effect on a part of the manufacturing popu.
lation. Last night, about eight o'clock, a crowd began
to collect iu Barrowfield Rossi, in front of a house in
which two of Messrs. Dunlop' new workers reside.—
They commenced their bad woritlay breaking the front
window with stones. it number who were provided with
stubs brandished them before the windows, and dared
the inmates to come oat, and " they woul4 do for them
and all other nobs." They also applied the most scan.
• dalaus terms towards the female:. The family were in
a state of dreadful alarm, expecting every moment that
the door would be burst open, and themselves assaulted.
The head of the famly made his escape from a back
window ; and ran for assistance to the Police Office.—
A pain of the Police came to the spot, and ordered the
mob to disperse, but as they would not retire, Serjeant
Leckie directed the Policemen to seize some of those
. who refused to go home ; but although repeatedly or-
dered, they refused to obey, probably out of fear. The
party of Policemen then went back to the Office. leaving
the uew workers unprotected ; Serjeant Leckie reported
to the Superintendant that the men had refused to seize,
any person. They were again ordered out in a few mi-
nutes, but by the time they arrived the mob had mostly
withdrawn. The ascertained cause of the present in-
creased animosity against the new workers last night
was, that one of them was endeavouring to procure a
piece for a new spinner. •

STAMVORD RAlriLts.—Tiv family of this Gell4i-
Man were on Thursday thrown into the greatest alarm,
in consequence of his being conveyed to his house in
I..wer Grosvenor-street, in a complete state of insen-
sibility. It appears that as he was walking down Port-
land-place, alone, about three o'clock, he suddenly, and
without any previous symptom of indisposition, sunk to
the ground, and continued insensible until removed to
his residence by the kind assistance of persons who were
passing by. Medical aid being called in, animation was
at length restored, and on Saturday, Sir &cabman
was considered out of danger.
There is no. Greenwich F.rir! Greenwich is placarded
with orders of the Magistrates, and Constables are to be
stationed to prevent any one entering the Park.
Mr. Pear's Bill for the regulation of Juries, intro-
duces the greatest and most unexceptionable reform in
the administration of justice that has been effected in the
Present age. Mr. Peet observed.- on Friday night, that
the spirit in which his proposition hod been received
was an encnuragetnent (b him to attempt other improve-
. stems its the administration of justice.

Tits Rotet. Ultrtat, AstootATioir.—The Founders
and P.onoters otthis valuable Society celebrated their
- institution by a public dinner at thefrretnasons' Tavern
in Friday. The Rigbt Hon. Lord MACDONALD took
the Chair. This Seciatfls intended to supersede the
interference of the Poor Laaws in the maintenance of the
"narking population of this country, by establishing, in
place of that system, a fund in varkh every poor man
misfit establish an independent property in reversion
for himself, claimable upon the event of necessity, what-
soever shape it might assume. It was computed that
900,000 persons belong to Societies of this kind, and
supposing that they only spent three pence a- month at
the ale-house, there were 2,700,000 shillings per annum,
which would be saved by sutscribing to the Royal
Union Association.

AigADAlif AND HENRY BELL.—Mr. *Adam, besides
realising about 40,0001. by his• mad contracts, has had
the especial modesty to ask. Parliament for a second
grant of 4,0001. as a further reward for his ingenious
contrivances. Poor Henry Bell, who has made a path
on the ocean, by adopting' the steairpengioe to naviga-
tion, worth a thousand of all thellgAdacas, is existing
—is starving, upon leialan common mechanic's earn-
ings (viz. 501. per ananni), without ever having gained
one farthing by his most important discoveries. Buit•
ltl,Adarn is a rich man, and has infltience; Iltnry
is a poor one, and has none. The ones connected with
divers road trustees, contractors, &c. the other
has no connections save those who do>him more harm
than good. lence, Henry pen is now neglected and
forgotten, while John !gado*. M'Adarin is twice re-
waided by Parlianuns. So much for public gratitude;,
