Miss Lien. or IT SLLAND. Of 11•LIANOt as she has bora
progressively annourced in the ptay-bills, made her debut
last night, es rfoleted, in Resonant. add FLYTCUItIei
Comedy of " The Chasers." operitised. and bratty entl•led
" Don Joh*, or The Tiro I iolettos." This is smother
most important acquiiition to the national opera corps.
which. we have great hopes. is tut orproulting to a state
that will defy th.: taunts of foreigners. sod the et/ of cape'
riority which Is eves raised at home. for the stager', of soy
other country. Miss lIALLANDICS volee is 000 of the finest .
description. It possesses more of the qualifications owes- •
nary to vocal perfection. than any other os the stage. But
it has not received that polish from the head of the
master. which brings forth all its beauties end its
capabilities in their most favourable light, and give.; .
that charm of manner and expression which is. per-
haps, the greatest source of delight to an audience. Under
these disadvantages it would not be fair to pass at.y joil-
ment upon her tnite. We wait earoestly recommend Mies
Ilat.i.ises, perceiving. as we do. that she has not yet
formed a decided style. to take Miss Tats for her mode..
If that young 1110- had Hiss lllALLANDellveice.we are certain
she would rake it beyond the reach of any of her riva:s. The
Opera recehed also the powerful aid of Miss tivernexs's ex-
ertions, and went off altogether in a most effective manner.

which he ens rivalled by the never-failing buoyancy of
Jose.. and the broad drollery of Ltsvox, as Bea Frederick

The Lord Mayor will hold a court of common-corn-
eil on Thursday, on various business. The report of
a committee relative to the balances in bands of the
receiver, Sir W. Curtis, belonging to the Orphan's fund,
and which has been so often postponed on account of
the absence of the lion. Baronet, stands first for discus
sion upon the paper, and, by an understanding at the
last court, is to be taken into consideration.
Ccse OF Ma. .lonsisust.—The following is a state-
ment of the case of Mr. Johnson, referred to by Mr.
llobhoose in the House of Commons last night, as it
appeared in in the York Herald, soon after the decease
of Mrs. Johnson. it On Saturday the 3d. inst. died at
Northen near Manchester, Mrs. Margaret Johnson,
aged 26, u ire of Mr.Jus. Johnson, a considerable In ash-
manufacturer, of Manchester, now a prisoner in Lin-
coln Castle for having been concerned in the memorable
meeting at Manchester on the 16th of August, 1819.
Her death was caused by a rapid pulmonary consump-
tion: and the faculty having sonic weeks since pro,
uounced her recovery to be hopeless, repeated applica-
tions were made to Lord Sidmouth fur permission to
Mr. Johnson to visit his wife, on condition uf his giving
security to return and suffer the full sentence of the
Court of King's Bench, but in vain. A petition to
that effect was very lately sent from Lincoln, and pre-
sented by its two representatives, signed by the Mayor
and 7or Aldermen, the very Rev. the Dean, and
other clergymen, and as large a number of respecta-
ble inhabitants as the shortness of time would allow.
Mrs. J. has left behind her three children, the
yonngest eleven months old.

Cosur.c. TIIEITRE.—On Monday evening was pro-
,inced, for the first tine at the above theatre, a new
Ilistorical Alelo-drarna, under the title of Fiederiek
tke,Great, and Mkt Deserter, which emanated from
the pen of a young gentleman, who certainly has
displayed superior genius in the production of
the abort piece, and which excels his former
production of Henry de FlesiviDe. The House
was crowded in every part, and the performers
exerted their talents to the utmost. The per-
formance was received with repeated cheers of applause.
The ..Love interesting Melo-drame, will, no doubt.
become a great favourite with the public. The
scenery and music deserve the highest praise.
