The scvne is laid at Seville, and the following is
the substance of the Plot :

Doe Ramirez, a Toiedan Gentleman, and Donna Clam. i
h.ive interchanged vows of mutual fidelity ; but the lover
proves inconstant; and having heard of the immense fortune
of Donna Laura a Lady of Seville, he deserts his mistress.
and sets out for ;hat city. The piece opens with the arrival
of Don Ramirez is Seville, wpb is •Iwiit on this foltuue-
limiting expedition. accompanied by hi; acrvaut Diego, and
strongly lecommenied to the father of Laura, who awaits
his arrival with impatience, as his future son-in-law. The
affections of Donna Laura. however, are engaged to Don
Carlos de Gezinan. a Nobleman, froma Madrid, unknown to
her father. Dm' Carlos, as usual, has also his valet, Po-
drills. who is active aniadroit at intrigue,. and the counter-
part of Diego, the other vutet, who is as remarkable for
his clownish simplicity and gold nature. In the course of
the piece thee two characters are played off against each
other, and produce a variety of laughable situations. The
forsaken Donna Clara als6 sets out for Seville accom-
panied hy her steel ard, liertran, and her waiting maid. where
Bertram' having discovered that Duo Guzman was looking out
fur a Melina to attend on his daughter, waits on him w the
character of a Country Schoolmaster, to recommend Donna
Clara in that capacity as his daughter, stud widow of Vin-
cent Ranee, a farmer. • Succeeding iu his attempt, Donna
Clara and her two attendants prepare to wait on Don Gia-
nt:ln in their assumed characters. While the negociation for
Dolma Laura's marriage was going forward, she had be-
stowed her affectitips on a young Nobleman, Don Carlos,
whose servant, Pearillo, undertakes to delay the nuptials.
The contrivances adopted Ly aim, first separately, and af-
terwards in conjunctiun with the feigned Derma, form the
business of lime piece, and as they ultimately prove successful,
the Drama coucludes with the union of Carlos and Laura,
and of Clara and Ramirez. •

Of these materials the author has contrived to
form a serf passable Opera. The Songs with
which it is iuterspersed appear to us superior to
the dialogue, and some of them are written with.
great neatness and elegance.
'rhe Music throughout, by Messrs. REEVE and
Ilotus, is extreincly.good, and some of the songs
were rapturoully encored, The Performers ex-
erted themselves to the utmost; and did full justice
to their parts. Mr. PUILIPPS) as usual, sung
with great taste and expressions and Miss KELLY
unites to her vocal powers a degree of archness
and spirits which points her 'oust as qualified to
excel in low Comedy. Mr. Do wynit as Pedrillo,
the servant of Dun Carlos, displayed his usual
excellence. •
The Opera was given out for repetition to-mor-
row, amidst rand applause from a numerous and
respectable audience, intermixed, with only a few
expressions of disapprobatirxr.

We are sorry to announce a most melancholy
circumstance, which occurred on Belhaven sands,
near Dunbar, ou the 3tl initant. The 6th Regi.
ment of Dragoon Guards (or Cabineers),.with a
brigade of Royal Artillery, were at Geld practice,
under the command of Cul.Gotart E, of the Ca rhi

-necrv, and, iir the course of tits „thy, the horse of
Serjeant FLASAUAN) of that regiment, fell with
him, in consequence of which the seljeint was un-
fortunately killed on the spot, by the dislocation
of his neck. 1k was born in the army, had been
25 years in the service, two of which were on the
Centinent, and was a remarkable good and zee..
loos soldier. He has left a wife and two children
to lament his loss ; iit whose behalf we are hippy
to observe,. that the officera the regiment hare
most liberally Come forward, and the imp-cores
missioned officers, trumpeters, Ina privates, hajty
i each contributed a day's pay ft 4 tlic like laiiilab'
