with a little confusion in the full movements. Of course,
when we point out this as the " most evident" Wed-

which no composer, ancient or modern, has ever ap-

ROSSINI'S style is decidedly of the Italian school, and

the materials with which the fabric is constructed area
intrinsically rich, that he more frequently attains the

mediocrity. The Opera was cast as follows :

The name of Signor Timm, it will he seen, is acs ad-
dition to the company. So is it, in reality, an important
acquisition. He possesses a soft but exceedingly rich
and flexible tenor voice, and taste and brilliant execu-
tion in abundance. From want of sufficient power, leis
recitative is sometimes ineffective; but the success of his
first air—" Perter voglio e tarsi° its mato," called forth
the admiration and applause of the whole house.
In another, a most charming composition, " Fre

In The Morseing Herald of April 16, 1796, there
appeared the following paragraph, in the 4th co-
lumn of the 2d page:—
" It is a remarkable fact, that the only tranquil part
of Ireland, at the present moment, is the province of
Cooneught, which is decidedly the most wild and un-
enlightened quarter of the country. The ignorance of
the people may therefore be considered as their greatest
blessing, as it has prevented them from becoming ac-
quainted with the hateful principles of the masters
Rights of Mao."
The above quotation, from the cited journal, is
made to shew what obsequiousness will do. Its
then proprietor, the Rev. Mr. Bate, is now (eel-
rabik dicta) the Rev. Sir HENRY BATE DUDLEY,
Bart.—Here is encouragement for patriotism ! !
We feel ourselves called upon to notice the dis-
graceful and dangerous manner in which a Ministerial
paper of this city is condneted. It has repeatedly alluded
tit the irritated state of the public mind, and has, as re-
peatedly attempted to increase that irritation, by violent
above, and unjust issinnations. On several
we have contradicted its false statements, whils=
have appeared, to us, too gross even for notice. We,
however, haves letter now lying before as, which sakes

I am at a loss even to guess, as so circumstance what-
ever has occurred at his Lordship's mansion to give rise
to it." We can also add. that the condsetors of that
paper had the means of knowing that it was false, bat
still issued it to the public, as is their usual vistas,
in
order to gratify party rancour.—(fork Revolt)
We understand, Rom good authority, that Major-
General Macquarie's resignation of the tiovernasont of
New South Wales has been at last accepted, and that
Lieutenant-enteral Sir Thomas Brisbane. K. O. C. 8.,
has been appointed his successor.
