The Italian Opera at Paris re-opens the end of September.
Madame Lalande, Pisaroni, Lablache, and Donzelli, are en-
gaged ; as well as Malibran, if her health permits. The latter
lady is still in England, being engaged for several Musical
Festivals. Her health is considerably improved, but she has
still a lameness, and is obliged to walk slip-shodf as she did
constantly last season on the boards of the King's Theatre.
Madame Pasta does not intend quitting Italy at present.
Dov Ell, Auo. 25.—Within the last few days there has
been great activity in the transmission of despatches across
the water. A French and a Russian courier went to Calais
in the Crusader Post-office packet ; as did also a gentleman
from the Foreign-office, who was the bearer of a special bag
from Lord Aberdeen. There are rumours of discontents in
the south of France ; but accounts from Paris agree in
describing it as tranquil. The birth-day of Louis Philippe,
and the fete of St. Louis, were celebrated together at Calais
on Monday, with great rejoicings, and a public dinner and
ball were given on the occasion.
Lulworth Castle, the temporary residence of Charles the
Tenth, is in a retired situation in Dorsetehire, about Di
miles from Weymouth, and belongs to a gentleman of the
name of Weld. The family of Weld are said to be Catho-
lics, and the brother to the proprietor to have been lately
made a Cardinal, being the first Englishman who has been
a member of the Conclave since the days of Henry VIII.
We are deeply concerned to learn, that a very fine young
girl, Catherine, the youngest daughter of Sir Aubrey de
Vere, Bart. went to bathe this morning with a female at-
tendant, in the Shannon waters fronting her grandfather's
residence at Mount Trenchard, in this county. She was
hurried beyond her depth, and unfortunately drowned. Her
body was found very soon after, but life was extinct. The
grief of her fond parents is beyond the power of language
to describe. Her age was II years.—Limerick Chronicle
of Saturday.
Should the rumoured episcopal appointment take place,
we may safely say that we speak the opinion of all parties
when we state that it will he one of the most unacceptable
which ever took place in the Church.
We are assured that the delay in making the proposed
opening into the Park in Carlton-gardens arises from the
difficulty of deciding upon the mode in which it shall be
done.

Notice has been given by the General Post-office that all
letters sent to Spain by Government packets will, for the
future, be forwarded via Gibraltar, as the packets will no
longer touch at Cadiz.
The office of King's Advocate-General of Ireland, vacant
by the appoinment of Mr. Leslie Foster to a seat on the
Exchequer Bench, hasbeen conferred upon Sir H. Meredyth,
Bart. LL.D.—Dublin Morning Register.
Lisbon Gazettes to the Bth instant arrived yesterday; but
they are, as usual, quite destitute of intelligence. No ac-
count is given of the capture of English and American ves-
sels off Terceira, the news of which first reached us through
the Paris papers; but upon examining the list of arrivals, we
find, under the date of the 6th instant, an entry at Belem to
the following effect:—" The Portuguese frigate the Diana,
in nineteen days from the island of St. Michael, with
letters, and fifty passengers, who are—Joao Moniz de Sa
Corte Real, Captain of the militia of the Villa da Praira,
two invalid soldiers, and 47 passengers belonging to five
prizes. " The next entry on the same day is the follow-
' ing at St. Julian, viz.—" Three English brigantines, one
English schooner, and an American schooner brig." 'fhese
last are doubtless the vessels seized by Don Miguel's frigate.
We refer to our city intelligence for further information
concerning this aggression on our commerce, and for other
Portuguese intelligence, which it would be in vain to look
for in the Lisbon Gazette.—Times.
The two brothers of the present King of France, the
Duke de Montpensier and the Count de Beaujolais, both
lAied of consumption ; the one at Twickenham in 1807, the
latter at Malta in the year following.
Of the many vicissitudes which we have lived to witness.
that of Marmont, arriving as a suitor to the Duke of Wel-
lington, in his character of Prime Minister of England, is
I not the least extraordinary.
The Essex contest is said to have cost Mr. Wellesley

22,0001. and Mr. Western 14,0001. The Protestant gen-
tlemen who subscribed 30,0001. to meet the expense of 4r.
Tyrell's election, are understood to have expended but a third
of the fund, or 10,0001.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the Ea't India
House, when the Earl of Clare took the usual oath, on being
appointed' Governor of Bombay. His Lordship afterwards
dined with the Directors at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgge-
street. There were present several of his Majesty's Minis-
ters, and many other distinguished personages.
The Bijouterie, consisting of snuff-boxes, rings, &c. be-
longing to his late Majesty George IV. have been valued
since his death by the eminent goldsmiths in the city, by
whom we believe a considerable portion of them were manu-
factured, at 205,0001. and to the honour of the house they
have offered to take them for that sum. We understand,
however, the whole will remain with the present King.
His Royal Highness Prince Augustus of Prussia, and suite,
embarked on Tuesday morning, at the Tower, for Ostend.
The Prince's departure was hastened front being obliged to
be present at some grand reviews of Prussian troops, which
are to take place at Coblentz. The Prussian Ambassador
accompanied the Prince to the place of embarkation.
Baron and Baroness Billow gave a sumptuous entertain-
ment at their mansion, in Great Cumberland-place, Pre"
vioua to the departure of Prince Augustus of Prussia.
ithA
rich and magnificent service of gold and silver plate,
the royal arms of Prussia emblazoned on it, in conjunction
with those of his Excellency, excited the admiration of the
Noble Guest. The benquest consisted of every delicacy.
Amongst the company present were, the Duke of Wel-
lington, Earl and Countess of Aberdeen, the Lord Chan-
cellor and Lady Lyndhurst, Princess Lieven, the Russian.
Swedish, Neapolitan, and Spanish Ambassadors and their
Ladies, Monsieur de Nieman, Sir Alexander Dixon, &C.
