ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. • On Monday a new piece was brought out at this theatre, Written by Mr. Raymond, and we are happy—very happy—to say that it met with and deserved complete success, and we cannot retrain from expressing a hope that the performances at • this English house will receive the patronage of a British public. The play to which we have alluded is called The Lone Mt, and its story is soon told. A peasant named Jerome (F. Matthews), has a daughter, Lisette (Miss Crisp), who is loved by Antoine, a peasant in the neighbourhood. She, however, has formed an attachment for Lindorf (Diddear), who is supposed to. he a person of high birth and great wealth, anti this attachment is apparently returned. The time of the nuptials is fixed, and there are to be gay doings in the s illage ; but in the meantime Hortense (Mist Faucit), a niece of Jerome's has met Lindorf, whom she had known under another name, and also knew that he had murdered a relation. She declares to him that if he will not give up Lisette she will denounce him, but upon his promising to do so she swears she will not divulge the secret. On the return of Hortense to her uncle's, he charges Fier with base ingratitude in having been guilty of inducing Lindorf not to marry his daughter. She will not tell.-hini the reason, and he drives her from his house. Lindorf hears of this, and under pretence of protecting her, he hires a man to conduct her to the mountains, having for a bribe promised Brent (A. Wigan) to let him have his " lone hut" for one night. He then employs an Hungarian (0. Smith) to be at the but that night, and to murder Hortense. here is a very fine and effective scene between Miss Faucit and 0. Smith, and drew down loud plaudits. Hortense is to be dispatched immediately the cluck strikes twelve, but just before that time Antoine and Brent arrive, rescue her, and kill the Hungarian. Lindorf believing Her ense to have beenkilled, returns and claims Lisette, and thee are about to be united when Hortense again appears, denounces him, and he is shut in an attempt to make his escape through a mountain pass. There are two lively parts, which are played by Harley and Miss Murray, who excited great laughter. The acting throughout was exceedingly good, and what is not often I the case upon a first representation, the performers were appa-1 rendy perfect in their parts. There was a very pretty ballet introduced, which met with' an unanimous encore. Some of the )scenery was extremely beautiful. The curtain fell amidst the most enthusiastic cheering, and the piece was given out for repetition this evening; and we have no doubt it will be highly ssful.  succe  • By a vessel, which atarrived itay; on the 26th instant, accounts have been received from Guadaloupe, eleven days later in date than by the preceeding arrival. The merchants of that colony had, in consequence or the embarrassment created by the postponement of the Sugar Bill, applied to the Governor for pecuniary aid, and de. mandAl that their bills• might be discounted with the colonial Funds. The Governor refused. Sovereigns are•not required to turn the scale; they, are weight if they are an exact balance with it, and cannot be legally refused at their-full value of 20s.
