The general business of this Drama is erected upon
the natural struggles of some exiles in Kamtchatka,
to regain their liberty. The story is extant, and writ-
ten in very choice German. The real parent of this
pyebald Opera is KOITEDUE. Count &tumuli, an
expatriated Nobleman of Poland, is chosen chief of
the malcontents, in opposition to the wiles and malice
of Steftansf, who hates him, from a supposition that
he loves Aehanaria, and is beloved by her. Alter the
Count has run many hazards of assassination by his
brutal rival, he declares that he is married, and Stets.
non is satisfied : but Athanasia is so warm in her ad-
miration of the Pole, that her father, the Governor,
not only liberates him, but consents that his child
shall marry him. A very good opportunity now pre-
sents itself, of saving much consequent mischief, by
kis informing the young Lady that he has already a
wife at Warsaw ; but as this candour would be inju-
rious to the business of the third Act, he, in poetical
justice, conceals the whole affair, by which conceal-
ment Stelsanof is enraged, and reveals the conspiracy
to the Governor. After an infinity of bustle, in which
the gratitude and moral honour of the Count is impli-
cated, the malcontents succeed in their endeavour,
and take shipping for a foreign country, in a jolly-
boat, and Beniowski leaves his enamoured ilthanatia
behind, with a tang froid that is not very illustrative
of his feelings as a Gentleman.
Mr. YOUNG, Mr. C. KEMBLE, and Mr. FAWCETT,
bore the brunt of last night's campaign; but they
were now and then diverted from the material affairs
of death and rebellion, by Mr. SINCLAIR, who was
occasionally civil enough to raise their spirits with a
madrigal, made to his mistress's eye-brow. Mrs. C.
KEMBLE and Mrs. H. JOHNSTON did what they could
with that which could not be amplified by human art,
into any thing very important or alluring. •
The ovemsre and music are pleasing ; and Mr. SIN-
CLAIR sung the airs allotted to him with a delicate
sweetness, that gives us the most auspicious promise.
The following are a favourable specimen of the songs.
SONG—Ma. SINCLAIR,
" My beech-clad bill, my native vale,
Where Peace and Virtue reign,
I bade ye oft in misery, hail !
And Fancy soothed my pain.
She shewed me Federowita s bowers,
. And led me through their shades,
With her, the sweetest of the lowers,
A fair, but cruel maid !"
SONG—Ma. Fawcyr.r.
Von Awlitz, the cobler, was poor as a rat,
And fed upon bear's lcsh at dinner;
Quoth he," By St. Crispin, to laugh and grow fat,
Is better than cry, and grow thinner."
His wife, in the girdle, was lank as a hurdle,
And turned up her nose at his revels ;
She seemed, with her mumps, and her glurnps, and her dumps,
The bluest of all the blue devils.
He laughed, ha, ha, ha i—ana she sighed height !
0 rat-a-tat a hetet° !
She hated to see him grow big as a bear,
And cried in an elegant flutter,
" Lord, Mr. Von Awlitz, I vow and declare,
You're as fat as a firkin of butter !"
Now, Mr. Von Awlitz, a quizzer was he,
And said (for be swore he should catch it),
" To-morrow we dine on the bark cf a tree,
" Pray leml me your phiz for a hatchet.'
He laugli'd ha, ha, Btc.
She scolded him thin in a twelvemonth, I crow,
'They grumbled atici growled in their gizzard;,
And Mr. and Mrs. Von Awlitz are now
As lean as a couple of lizards.
Let each merry grig, who wants to look big,
When single, take care to grow fatter,
One gets a lean face, when the parson says grace,
For marriage is no laughing matter.
We don't laugh ha, ha, ha!—but we sigh Leigh° !
0 rat-a-tat a hetgho !
This Piece, as a spectacle, may prove attractive
with the town, although it is encumbered with many
defects. The scenery in itself forms a point of imitative
beauty. This performance was given out for a second
representation by Mr. YouNs, with difficuty. The
getting up of this drama, in its present habiliments,
is attributed to Mr. C. KEMAL&

MARRIAGE IN HIGU Lim—Yesterday were mar-
ried, at St. James's Church, the Right Hon. Lord
CALEDON, and Lady CATHERINE YORK, eldest daugh-
ter to the Earl and Countess of HARDWICK. The
ceremony took place at three o'clock, and was per-
formed by the Rev. Dr. WESTERN. The Earl and
Countess of HARDWICK, and Lord POLLINGTON, at-
tended the bride and bridegroom ; and atter the cere-
mony was performed, the company retired to the
Noble Earl's mansion in Sr. James's square, where a
most sumptuous repast INJS prepared. The happy
pair soon after set out in an elegant chariot and hur
for Sitenhanger, the seat of Mr. Csimmus Your, neat
Si. Alban's.
