THE LATE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT CHELSEA.-UNEXPECTED APPEARANCE OF THE MISSING MAN.-Between six and seven o'clock last evening, Thomas M'Growran or M'Guire, whose mysterious disappearance since the 25th ult. has created so much excitement, was brought into the station-house of the B, or Westminster division of police, in Rochester-row, by Sergeant Loom, who had received information that he was at a publichouse in the neighbourhood, and accomp inied by a man and woman, who had brought him a considerable distance. The circumstances that led to his unexpected appearance are these :—Between twelve and ono o'clock yesterday afternoon Mary M'Carthy, the wife of a labouring man, residing at 8, Mill-lane, Deptford, who formerly lodged with M‘Gowran at Mrs. Donovan's, 1, Queen's-place, Chelsea, was proceeding along near Lambert's brewery at Deptford, when she observed IYl`Ciowran coming in a contrary direction, and imme. diately accosted him. She then invited him into her house to take some refreshment, and having stated the I circumstance of the M'Donalds being in custody upon the charge of robbing him, together with its being strongly suspected that he had been murdered, with the whole of which circumstances be affected to be perfectly ignorant, she prevailed upon him to come to London in order to allay the sensation caused by his disappearance, and having brought him to within a short distance of the station, as above described, gave information of the circumstance. Mr. Russell, the superintendent of the B division, questioned M'(owran with resaect to the robbery and his sudden disappearance from Chelsea, when he stated that the robbery was committed by Mrs. M'Donald, and that when he discovered his loss ho rushed from the neighbourhood in a state of phrenzy, and cared not where he went or what became of him. The thoughkof his loss drove him almost mad, and, determined to torget it if possible, he went into Kent, and had remained there, sleeping at various nightlylodging-boust:s at Woolwicb, Deptford, and their vicintties, end earning a miserable subsistence by hawking some little pamphlets (a number of which were found upon him). Upon being shown the large sum of money which had been recovered and his clothes, he appeared much pleased, and expressed his thanks for the exertions of the police on his behalf, declaring most positively that having determined to banish all recollection of the robbery from his mind, he had made no inquiries about the matter, and was ignorant of the proceedings which had taken place, until informed by Mrs. M'Carthy yesterday. Mr. Russell very properly directed such arrangements to be made as will effectually promote the ends of justice, and insure the attendance of the prosecutor. The three persons who stand charged with the robbery had been but a few hours previously further remanded by Mr. Broderip, until Wednesday, and could hardly have arrived at the IHouse of Detention, before M'Gowran made his appearance as above described.  THE ITALIAN OPERA IN PARIS,—La Press. of yesterday says that all difficulties have been overcome, and that M. Ronconi will open the Theatres des Italiens on the let of November. Lablache, Ronconi, Mariani (now on his last legs), Morelli, Persiani, Mesdames Barbierihini and Rosetti form the troupe. Mademoiselle Angri is the contralto. A new tenor, named Lucchesi, will make his MO. It is a pity that the theatre should be opened with the wretched and effete opera of the Capuletti e Montecchi, which so signally ,failed in London in the season of 1848. This is a mistake certainly.
