new piece, "The Magic Marriage" comedy in

THE FREscH FRIGATE PoaoSE.-Much interest
attaches to this man-ol-war from the fact that che Is
the fret s,eam.frigate commissioned in the French
Navy. She was formerly q sailing frigate, but
nearly Thirty yeaTs ago was fitted with an engine OF
about $50 horsepower. Her speed is very limited,
as might be imagined by any who sees her blunt
Dutch bow, heavy waist, and the great bulk thai is
to be propelled by her email engine. To her the
only advantage OF her steampoWer is that 1t enables
her TO make tolerable progress in calm, when sails
would be Of no use. She mounts 3G guns oil OF
smooth bore, and has ships company Of 800, Off
cers and men. She left Orient on tie 18th of April,
and has been Gu the Newfoundland and Halifax
stations until the present time. This is her inst
yist IN these waters, and alongside the gaunty Cati-
nat, which is moored in the stream just Behind her,
she looks antiquated enough. Yesterday morning
the MARQUIS de Monthoon, French Consul
General. went on board, and was received with
the customary salute. The heavy guns OF the irigate
also doomed ont grand salute to the city, winch
