ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.  The Comic Opera of The Barber of Seville, with Rasura s music, as adapted to English metre by Mr. BISHOP, was last night performed with a degree of success that will warrant its ftequent repetition. On this occasion, Mr. G. PENNON, from the Liverpool Theatre, made his first appearance in London in the character of Figaro, and acquitted himself cleverly. In person he is short and slender, and by no means unlike the buffo PILL LIGRINI, to whom, inface, he bears some slight resemblance. In his style of Acting there is much confidence ; but we think his volatility—(he was conscantly in a state of excitatioa)—was carried a little too far, even for that beau ideal of intriguing barbers, Fi.,. nro. The fault, however, is on the right side. Eauhet ance of spirit may be softened down; but dullness, like the dancing bear, can never be excited to anything like natural livelin, ss. Mr. l'EasoN, in,singing, manifested a considerable portion of comic expression. He was extremely well received. Count Almaviva was agreeably stilipotted by Mr. WRENCH; and the antiquated lover, Dadar liartolo, in the hands of Mr. BA T., JAY, excited much laughter. He is in appearance tlse very opposite of Da BISON 111; but if the spare, lanky for m of the Italian made us smile at the idea of such a lover hoping to succeed wilth Rosina, the fat, pursy frame of the Englishman did not less incline us to merriment. Miss PATON'S Rosina was excellent; she sang delightfully. Her first song, in the bravura style, was a splendid effort of science. The music was generally well executed. The d:fficult finale to t.e first act was snot creditably performed.  It is rumoured that the Earl of MORLEY wilt succeed tlte late Earl of CaucHarms as Postmaster GeneraL  Private letters from Lima state that BOLIVAR was still in that capital, and that it was understood to be his intention not to quit it for some time. However unanimous in appearance the Peruvians might be for the cause of independence, it was considered that they could nct be left to themselves, without the tisk of some political change, which the name and pre enceof Bradvan kept in check. Thi; feeling was carried so far among the leaders of the independent party, that it was flatter of discuss;on whether, when the assembling of the Congress should make it_ requisite for BotavAß to surrender his office of Dictator, he should not be invited to resume it, until the independence of the country became more firmly fixed, and all danger from the conflicts of party at an end. There still remained in Peru a large body of Colombian troops well Armed and disciplined, so that whatever secret wishes BOLIVAR might entertain, the means of gratification were within his teach. S ,me months would elapse before he could hear of the insurrectionary movements of General Patz, and a long further pet iod before he could trans. port himself to the scene of action. As he could not hope by his presence, after time had confirmed the separation of Venezuela Irum New Grenada, to restore afftits to their former tooting, it is probable that the evert will not accelerate his teturn to Colombia.  Saturday, Denis Hynes and George Stank', who were tried and convicted at the last Commission, of the highway robbery of Mr. Bell, on the Rock-toad, were executed in front of Newgate, Dublin, pursuant to their sen•ence. It WA's expected that they would make some confession relative to the murder of the late Mr.Wogan, !pit they did not do so. Hynes was not more than 24 years of age ; Stanley was about 40. Thursday, as a boat with five individuals belonging to Greenock, was proceeding down the river Clyde, it 'iv is unfortunately run down by the Majestic, steam kct coming in from Liverpool, and immediately sink. Those cu hoard the boat 'made what prep .rations I,ey could to save themselves by swimming, and four ersons were thus •enah!ed, after their frail bark had sunk, to support themselves till they were successively ricked up by 11:e M rjestic's boats. The fifth, however, fine youth, about 17 years of age, the son of a Gentlenl+, in Greenock, was drowned.
