XING'S TIIS4TRE.

Saturday the Opera House closed for thCseason
with WINTSR9S beautiful Opera, I, &Wadi Protecitina.
As a musical composition this is of the very first es-
der. snti its revival has redounded greatly to the cal-
dit and taste, as well of those who selected it as of
'those whose combined talents have tendered its per-
formance so attractive to the frequenters of the Opera
during the present season.
Its recent re-production Was distinguished by the
debut of Madame VitiTlll4 in the character of Prager-
Irina, when her reception was such as to encourage
her to repeat the part, which she has sbice'done
nightly, with increased effect and increating appro-
bation. Her success before an audience in full re-
collection of the bewitching graces of GRASSINeS
Prournina, is doubly flattering to the talents of Ma-
dame .Varrets. ljer voice is of the same rare de-
scription, a contea7to, and although, from diffidence,
perhaps, she has not yet full); displayed its compass
and powers, we can distinguish much of that mellow-
ness and flexibility which.were the peculiar attributes
of the voice of her admired predecessor. The style
of Madame VESTRIS is evidently of the cantabile, in
which her fine feeling, correct taste, ,and clear into-
nation, will Always lead her to excel : in point of ap-
pearance and manner, she has also many advantages:
she is young, her figure is small but elegant in the
extreme t her countenance handsome, expressive,
and highly interesting, her action animated and
graceful, and her whole manner was a bewitching
combination of the ingenuous modesty of a youthful
debutante, with the skilful comprehension of an expe-
rienced actress.

Madame SEsst never appeared to more advantage
than in the arduous part of Gera, in the same Opera :
the alternate manifestations of the tenderness and
despair of a mother bereft of an only child, were ex-
hibited by her with the most chaste and correct effect.
Her execution of the difficult air at the end of the
first Act, and of Sento mancarmi l'anima," was
warmly and most deservedly applauded.
The Divertisement and Ballet of the evening went
off with uncommon eclat, and the performers effk-
tually exerted themselves to leave.a most favourable
impression on the admirers of their department
of the Dramatic Art. Indeed, there seemed to be
but one sentiment among the audience, which was
that of unqualified approbation of the spirited and
magnificent exertions of the Managers of this superb
establishment throughout- the season, to render it,
e hat it certainly has been under dick superintendance,
the most attractive, most fashionable, and most de-
' gait amusement of • the Metropolis of the greatest
mpire of the world.

Saturday week a young boy, on Bachelor's Quay,
Dublin, was playing with a loaded gun, when it un-
fortunately went off, and two balls entered the jaw of
a young woman who was sitting in the room, and pe-
neirated through the back of the neck. She instantly
expired. The boy was so affected by the cvent, that
he continued convulsed until next day.
Wednesday a shocking catastrophe happened at
Itchin Ferry, near Southampton, to a poor man
named Gosling, in the employ of Mr? Bell, brewer.
He was in the malt.house belonging to the brewery,
and got entangled in the wheel of the mill, by which
'means his brains were beaten out. He has left a wife
and ten children to lament his loss.

An accident of a most melancholy description oc-
curred on Saturday last, on board of a Margate hoy.
Mr. John Marsh, a respectable wool broker on
'Change, proceeded to Margate by sea, and the vessel
having arrived safe in the harbour, nothing remained
but to let fall the anchor, and go on shore. It unfor-
tunately happened, however, on drc;pl..ing the anchor,
Mr. Marsh's leg was entangled in the cable, and such
was the suddenness and the pressure, thgt the limb
WAS literally torn off above the ancle, and carried
into the sea. Notwithstanding the bitter pain of the
sufferer, being aware that farther amputation WAS ne.
cessary to afford a chance of saving his life, he, with
the greatest fortitude, proposed the sacrifice, and the
remainder of the limb wag taken off by Mr. Slater
'and another surgeon. witbant loss of aim,. Ure.,
Marsh and her son were waiting ot‘ shore tor 'Mr.
Marsh, wht;n the melancholy accident happened. Mr.
Marsh, we are happy to say, was left taerabit free
from lever, and is likely to recover.
We are informed that Dr. Commit, and three emi-
nent Surgeons,. cf 30 years experience in Strictarrs,
Fistulas, Debilities, &c. kc. have established a Medi.
cal Board at Charlotte-house, Great Charlotte-street,
opposite ROWLAND limes Chapel, Blackfriar's-road,
where the public are relieved from the most dangerous
tliseases without salivation at; confinement. The In-
stitution claims the attention of those who may have
attempted the cure of themselves, or who have been
so unfortuiate as to consult men ignorant of so im-
portant a branch. of the profession, whose improper
treatment have mercurialized thousands out of ,their
existence—eruptions on the head, face, and body, sore
eyes, throat,moutb, and nose, vertigo, noise intheears,
