Kiwe's THEATRE:A new Opera was produced at this
house on Saturday evening, under the title of Elisa e Clau-
dio.
Elise (Cantonese) is recently married to Claudio (Cu.
atom) son of the Count Arnelde, (Posro) and the action
arises chiefly from the endeavours of Claudio to avert hit
father's commands to marry Silria, (Ti}Retool') the dough.;
ter of a rich Marquis,(PLAcct) and in the exertions of Elisa,
who is assisted by her friend Charlotte.(Ciairmont) to ob-
tain the restitution of her children, who have been torn from
her, and to gain the sanction of her marriage from the Count.
The Piece was throughout very ably performed. particu-
larly by CAMPORESE. CaRADORI, and CURIONI. who gave
all possible effect to the music. The composition is by
Meat toaNtz, a 3 onng man now Krieg we believe at Milan,
and the Opera, it is said, was postponed sixty nights suc-
cessively in that city. It was, however, received on Satur-
day night, with a most decided coldness ; the best critique
upon the opera proceeded from the mouths of the two in-
fants who were introduced in the second act of the drama ;
the prier babes yawned so widely and frequently as to con•
vulse the house with laughter, in which Sig. CIJRIONI joined
most heartily, though in the midst of his aria d'abilita.
They thus manifested their own feelings, and represented
those of the audience in a way that could not be misinter-
preted, and by an argument that bide defiance to ell reply.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIPE.—On Saturday was man
tied by special license, Mr. Alexander Baring, to Lady
Montague, daughter of the Countess of Sandwich. 'l'hb
ceremony took place at her Ladyship's house, in Dover-
street.
Mr. Alderman -Richard Smith has beta elerte4 Lord
Mayor of Dublin, and Mr. Samuel Lamprey snd me.
Arthur Perron, Sheriff, fur the ensuing year.
Conte EICHANGE.—The arrivals of last week were
moderate, and this morning the additional supply is in-
considerable. Prime parcels of Wheat obtain 'full as
good prices as this day se'nnight, but other kinds are
slow of sale at last qnotations. Barley Supports its price,
but there has not been much business transacted in this
article to-day. Beans appear to be recovering again, as
some parcels have sold for rather more money. Peal
of both duicriptions remain at last week's price. Horse
Corn is much enqnired after, as the present consumption
is large, and there is therefore a good trade for the
article, atrather higher terms titan last Monday. Flour
is unaltered.
SIIITHEIELD MARKET:The RHIAPI NSA hie shortly sup-
plied this morning. in consequence of which a higher price
wes demanded, both for Seel and Mutton, and the trade was
rather brisk.
At the Old Bailey this morning, George Plf.ner was
convicted of stealine a writing-desk, aa:ne tile pro-
perty of -James Emery, cabinet-maker, Ca-thnsien-
street, Clituterhun‘e-svere. He was sentenc-1 to be
transported fur seven years.—There were Fre other
charges avinst him, but they were not gone into.
