KING'S Timsras.—This magnificent House was
thrown open last night to a numerous, though se-
lect audience, to witness a grand rehearsal of Hon.
stmt's new Opera, La Gazza Ladra, which is an ha-
litin translation of the celebrated and affecting After-
piece, The Maid and Me Magpie. The Music is in
Rossini's best style, full of originality and expres-
sion, affording a feast, not only to the ear, but to the
heart and mind. The whole Opera gave great satis-
faction, and them is no doubt that the verdict of the
Special Jury convened List night, will be confirmed

with enthnsiastie approbation. The several Per-
formers acquittedthemselvea with great ability.

SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married
men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded;

and" The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the
most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, companies the d..
aideratum of our enjoymapt ; teeming not only with happiness
on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonise with bliss

hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligatlot
it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions,
but to cleanse the grosser mined froM those impurities which
the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it.
