The Opera of Fiend() Magico, announced for to..
morrow at the King's Theatre, has been got up at
great expence, and with great care. It is a wort: of
superior merit, and excites great expectation in tl e
Fashionable World.

COVENT-GARDEN TOF,ATRE.—A Dramatic Sketch,
or Interlude, in one act, called Cozening or, Hoff an
Hour in France, was performed here on Saturday
evening for the first time. The ground-work is whim-
sical enough. Dick Mutable (YATES), the son of a
City Alderman (of the old school), is on a visit to
Paris, whither he invites his father, maiden aunt, and
' a certain beloved cousin, Julia, to join him. • When
they' arrive, instead of appearing in his owit person,
he assumes the dress and manner of different sup.
posed lodgers in the same hotel, and plagues his re-
lations with a series of disagreeable intrusions. The
characters assumed are—the Porter of the Hotel, an
English Tragedian, a Literary Tourist, a French Tra-
gedian, a Lecturer on the French Language, and an
English Farmer. Mr. Yatus, who sustained this
Proteus-like part, is a young Actor of considerable
promise ; he has appeared three times on these boards
during the present season, but at intervals so distant
that the Public in general are scarcely aware that be
has an engagement at the Theatre. This performance
will probably introduce hint at once to notoriety and
reputation : for though he Cannot be compared with
MATHEWS, whose immediate province he invades by
the present attempt, the powers he displayed were of
a very uncommon order, and produced an effect on
the audience that was perfectly conclusive in his
favour. At the conclusion, he was called for by the
audience, which was extremely numerous, to an-
nounce the piece for repetition, and was honoured
by a tumult of applause.
FIRE.--Thesday, a building on Anderston-Walk,
near Glasgow, four stories high, occupied by Messrs.
Ltuosay, bakers, as a store-house, was consumed by
fire. By the arrival of the fire-engines the flames
were happily prevented from spreading further.

CORN-MARKET, MARK-LANE, MAY 24.

In Beans and Peas there continues to be but little
doing, and prices are nominal.
