COLUMBUS, (OHIO), NOVEMBER Is.

THE SEASONE.—The past and the present have
been very extraordinary ones—for six months the
ground has not been thoroughly wet in this part of
the country, notwithstanding our crops have been
good. Fol several days past the atmosphete has been
obscured, in consequence of the smoke arising from
the immense fires on the Darby-plains, and elsewhere.
It is supposed the fire originated through the care-
lessness of bunters.

(This fire sufficiently explains the phenomenon of
the /Jack rain, of which the American Papers have
recently had such wondering accounts )
A Bill has passed the. House of •Representatives
of Georgia, repealing the law on Usury. It makes
no alteration in the present established legal inte-
rest, and subjects the Usurer to a mere nominal pe-
na:ty, viz. the forfeiture of so much interest' as
exceeds eight per cent. This law, therefore, had for
its object the sanctioning of Usury, and the penalty
threatened was evidently a mere cover to its real
object.

A Mail from Flanders arrived I;st night, from the
Papers brought by which we have given some ex-
tracts in a preceding part of our Paper. We have
also, this forenoon, received a supply of Frankfort
Papers to the 3d instant. The only article of gene-
ral interest which we have met with in them is the
following, on the subject of a Free Trade through
Germany:

', BERLIN, DECEMBER 28.

" It is stated, in some German Journals, that the
Deputies of the Association of German Merchants
and Manufacturers have received a favourable an-
swer from onr Government, in reply to the Petition
in favour of the Commerce and Industry of Germany.
—This statement is perfectly correct. They were
well received, as well by his Highness the Prince
Chancellor, as the Ministers of the Interior, of Com-
merce, and of Finance, and obtained the agreeable
assurance, that the Prussian Government, far from
desiring to injure the 'welfare of the neighbouring
States of Germany, by selfish measures, would rejoice
if the Governments of Germany would agree upon
the principles of a general system of Commerce, pro-
moting the welfare of the whole ; and that the. Pru-
ssian Government would willingly contribute its part
to procure for all Germany the advantages of a free
trade, founded upon principles of justice.

4g At- the same time, it was not concealed from
them, that the situation and the Constitution of the
several German States seemed to be by no means
prepared for the adoption of common measures, to
which it was especially necessary that each indivi-
dual State should have the guarauteep that the joint

ordinances should be observed by all in the sane
spirit. It appeared, therefore, that at present, the
best method would be, for each of the States that
thought themselves aggrieved by the present system,
to endeavour to make arrangements with t!;e•e
Members of the Confederatioa who are consi..',l ad
as the cause of this grievance, and is this ac..n-
ner to introduce coinciding Ordinances, by deg:-.-es,
from frontier to frontier, and thus remove snore
more the internal obstacles to a free track."

Extract of a letter from Berwick, dated January 5:

—" Four Colliers have been sent off this evening r..m
Tweedmouth for Durham Jail, as leaders cf a cqm-
bination for raisins their wages. The whole of The
Colliers in this district struck on Monday, and :he
uneasiness it has occasioned at this inclement se.i.on
is very great among many families who have not Ile
means of laying in a stock of that useful ankle of
life. A Bench of Magistrates has been sitting all
this day at Tweedmouth, trying to recoil ile the
differences between the masters and the men—but np
to this hour nothing has been done—the men arc ob-
stinate. A meeting of Magistrates and the Select
Vestry has been held this afternoon, in the Town-
Hall here, to take into consideration the best mode
of supplying the town, when it was agreed that a
cargo from the nearest pert they can be got at, should
be orkred forthwith. The men are eui;aged until
Whitsunday, and can make a guinea a week."

Yesterday, thePR iNce B EGEN T, with the Duke and
Duchess of CLARENCE, attended Divine Service, at
the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace.

Friday evening, the Duke of YonK came to town,
from attending the KING, at Windsor. Satur lay, his
Royal Highness transacted military busint,,s with the
PRINCE Ii.EOEN I', at Carlton House. Yev.eithii, his
Royal Highness left town for Woburn Abbe, on a
visit to the Duke of BEDFORD.

Saturday morning, the Duke of CLAKExcn left
town, for Bushy Park. His Royal Highness returned
to London in the evening.
Saturday, Prince LEOIOLD left town for Claremont.
Saturday, Viscount SIDNIOUTII had an audience of
the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton /louse.
Yesterday, the LORD CHANCELLOR had an audience
of the PRINCE RECENT.

The Earl of GLASGOW is to be appointed Lnrd
Lieutenant of Ayrshire : he resigns the office of Lord
Lieutenant of the County of Renfrew, in fav'ur of
Lord_I3LANTYRE, who is to be nominated his successor.

The York Herald states, that the story which has
been copied from The York Gazette, into most of the
Parers of the country, about a coffin having been kft
at Lord GRANTHAM.S door, is wholly a fabrication.
An Oxford friend informs us, that a paragraph,
which has been circulated through the Papers, stating
that a hunted stag had been killed, list week, iA
Mazennese College, is neither more nor less than a
braze: faced lie'!

DRERY-L AN E.—The Opera of Guy Mannering
was admirably performed on Saturday. BnAHANs
seemed to transcend even himself in his wonder-lid
execution of the several airs allotted to his part.
His Last Words .f Mormion, afforded at once a
grand and impressive .display, altog;..!her unt,xun-
pled ; and Scots wha ha'e 7.1,1" Wil!ace bled, he was
obliged to sing no less than three times. It USbELL
performed the part of Dominie Sampson, fcr the
first time, and acquitted himself with considerable
ability ; and Miss CAREW, Miss POVEY, and Miss
CUBITT, were as happy as usual it - their respective
characters. The Pantomime appears to increase in
public favour, and went off, on this occasion, with
infinite eclat.

COVENT-GARDEN.--The Marriage of Figaro was
admirably performed at this Theatre. There was
no alteration in the cast of the characters, and all
the performers exerted themselves with the most
happy effect. The Pantomime also went off with
eclat.—His Excellency the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR,
and suite, occupied the Regent's box, and seemed
much amused. •

THEATRE.—ROSSINI'S Comic Opera, 1.4
Cenerentola (Cinderella), which has been a great fa-
vourite on the Continent, was performed at this The-
atre, for the first time, on Saturday night. its
Drama differs, materially from the one broui,vhi out,
some years back, at Drury-Lane.
Cinderella (Madame Bettocur), the step-daughter of bon
Magnifico ( A maaonerri), suffers repeated injuries from his daugh-
ters, Clarinda and Thisbe (Signora Moat and Madame Garin),
and is forced by them to submit to the most menial services. A
Pilgrim (ltoazao), enters the Palace of Don Magnifico to ask
charity; he is repulsed by the two proud sisters, but gets refresh-
ment from the cunpa•sionate hide: AIL The Prince of Sou
lerno (Toaaa), having determined to seek for a wife among the
beauties of his neighbourhood, announces his intention of visit-
ing Don Magnifico, who is delighted with the honour conferred
upon him. The Prince, to form his judgment, comes in disraiw,
and appears as the Squire of his own Valet, Dandini, (Ptacci),
who is deputed to take his character. The pretended Squire
meets Cinderella in her menial dress, and is charmed with her.
Dandini makes love to the Ladies, and they are invited to a
Ball given by the Prince. Cinderella petitions to go, but is rem
fused, and she contrives to appear there, to the surprise of Dca
Magnifico and his daughters. The Ball breaks up, and on their
return home Cinderella is found in her usual attire, aid excites
astonishment at the similarity of the beauty that so lately mcved
before theta; the Valet avows himself, to the shame of the Ba-
ron; the Prince also avows himself, and Makes Cinderella de
partner of his throne.
_

The music, which is composed by ROSSINI, is beau-
tiful, and highly dramatic. The opening Piece, the
Quintetto ; a Song, by AMBROGETTI ; the Duet be-
tween Toant and Madame BELLOCHI, and the lines
to the first, are finely conceived. Signor TORRI made
his first appearance in this country. Ilis voice, a
tenor, is flexible and sweet his acting easy, modest,
and gentlemanlike ; he has a marked pleasing coun-
tenance, a good figure) and his whole deportment is
modest and prepossessing. He attempts nothing but
what he executes with neatness and precision.--Am-
BItOGITTI) in Don Magnifico, was all life, bustle, and
discriminition, ever attentive to the cunning of the
scene, and never losing a point that could be seized
upon to produce laughter. The Cherusses, were very
perfect; and the Orchestra, led by SPAGNIOLETTIg
deserves the highest encomium, for the delectable
manner in which they executed this most eitEcult
music. The scenery and decorations were highly
appropriate ; and on the whole we can Safely predict
this Opera will bawls a favourite,
