THE 11-IL:1'1'11E. lIAY-ALIRKET. After a long interval, during which some of our best plays have been performed, the Managers of Covent Garden Company have at length made an attempt at novelty in a new Comedy, which was produced at this Theatre on Thursday evening called ' Independence. or the Trustee.' with respect to plot, the comedy before us possesses so little, that any person may foresee at the beginning what will he the conrlusio'i of the play. The dialogue is also very defective, it has neither wit, humour, sentiment, or even pun to recommend it, but is absurd and vid,:ar iu the highest degree was heaial with patience till the close, when tic disapprobation of the au dience became loud and general, and it was given out for re petition amidst an universal tumult of hisses and murtnur4. MARCH 12. ELOPEMENT. Lady Charlotte Wellesley's elopement with Lord Paget is the theme of general conversation in the West-end of the town. Her Ladyship arose at the usual hour on Monday, and after passing some time, according to her custom, with her infant family, iu the nursery, she left it for the breakfast-room, iv here she break fasted alone; Mr. U. *Wellesley, her husband, being confined to his room by indisposition. Shortly after she ordered a foot man to attend her to the Green Park, having a wish, as she said, to take a walk. She left him at the gate, with di rections to return for her in an hour. During this interval, Mr. 11. Wellesley had left his room, and inquired for her. A servant was sent to the Green Park to look for her, Wit all search there and every where else proved ineffectual. When Lady Charlotte left the house, her agitation Wf.S so great as to be apparent to all the domestics ; the butler particularly ob served, that •in the hurried manner in which she prepared to lease the house, she had put on her cloak with the wrong side out, The footman who attended her also observed much agitas tion in her manner, while, with a hurried step, she was pro ceeding to the Green Park. It had been also customary with her to take her eldest child for her companion, in her morning walk. The little fellow earnestly desired the usual indul gence, but she refused, and he was left behind: Mr. Wellesley sent his children to the house of his brother, at Chelsea. On the same evening, Lady Emily Wellesley, her sister, came to his house in Curzon-street ; and having received from her mo ther the keys of her sister's drawers, carried off part of their contents in three bundles, without having seen Mr. H. Welles.; ley. As soon as he was informed of this circumstance, he se cured the remaining articles; and observed, that Lady Emily must explain this circumstance hereafter. It also appears from the statement of the domestics who attended upon her out of doors, that she had ordered, within the last ten days, consi derable quantities of dresses of various kinds, at the same time desiring the trades-people not to send them to her house, but to keep them until she should send for them. Lord Paget, according to various statements, accompanied the Expedition to Spain chiefly in order to disembarrass himself from the affection which he secretly cheribhed for Lady C. Wel lesley. Absence is perhaps the worst expedient to which lovers can resort. The moment Lord P. returned, the flame for some time repressed, broke out in him with redoubled violence, and produced the catastrophe now deplored by the relations on both sides. It was . rumoured, we should observe, that a duel, at tended with lamentable consequences, had taken effect between Lord P. and Sir A. W. ; but, in the absence of better accounts, we do not think, from the attendance of the latter in his senato 4'riai capacity; that any credit is attached to such report• . , M/IRDER.—A barbarous murder was committed ou Thursday evening, on the body of Miss Fourner , an am ia b le y oun g lad y twenty:four years of ago, the daughter of an opulent farmer at Chepstowe, Wilts. Miss Fourner had received the addresses of a young man of the name of Fawke, for the last two years, but in consequence of some disagreement the inatth was broke off, and the young lady gained another suitor. She had been on a visit at a hisuse half a mile from her residence, on Thursday evening, and on returning home with her male friend, at tea o'clock on the night stated, they were attacked by two persons, one of whoisi knocked the man down with a bludgeon, and the other hurried off Miss F. from the spot. She was found dead in the same field in an hour after this transaction, cut in different harts of the head and body. Fawke has not been since seen at the village of Chi pstowe, where he also resided; and there are strong proofs of his having been the pe...etrator of the horrid murder. The young man who was vi ith Miss F. lies in a dan gerous state. DIED. • Saturday sennight, of a mortification in. his leg, occasioned by the bite of a dog, Mr. John Knott, of Turvin, at the advanced age of iO2, sincerely regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
