COVENT-CdRDEN 7Ae Provoked Mahood was repealed on Satur day night. We are generally disposed to think favourably of the theatres royal, and hove sadism had more just occasion than this comedy affords.— The cast is throughout perfect, anti no play has been presented under superior advantages iu this kind. Lady Town!, is the best performsuce in which Mies Dance has yet been seen. Iler collo quial elocution is excellent. She has sounded every emotion belonging to the fantastic elegence of the character, 'and preserves its identity in every siund she utters. To use her professional term, her study is the most sensible and natural that could be wished, and she has proved herself to possess that ionate quickness of intelle't which she was only called upon to imitate. There was no artificial pausing nor graceless hurry—she abandoned herself to the easy sud vigorous finw of the dialogue, and , took and seized the impulses given by the situa tims with the moit natural promptitude. She passes from the grace and vivacity of die lovely pro fligate to the compunction and restored sensibility of a quick and affectionate spirit, with dexterity which is beyood verbal praise. Mr. C. Kituni.e's Lord .Bendy is a good and well-known perform ance. There is more of cold sod formal artifice in his elocution than suits with familiar dialogue ; but then his grace, his dignity, and the other 'Mils which he discoversof oriental refinement, give deep im pottanoe to'his performance of this part. We would not omit in this praise the toote displaced in his dress, which is of elegant .design. The group of the Wrongkends is a treasury of ineffable fun. Mr. Fievicerr gives the kinivi‘li simplicity of Sir Francis its fullest effect. Ltsros foals it " to the top of his bent" in the doltish slid un mannered ignorance of Spire Richard. Euatev's John Moody is in the richest style of rural dull • ness. Miss FOOTS speaks rather ton mincingly for the robust volatility of Miss Jenny. M rs . DAVENPORT reveals the nmbilintte an I inele gant propensities of Lady Wronghead with much force and spirit. We must by no means pass over Mr. ABBOTT'S perf , irmance of Mr. Manly. which is a fine picture of a cultivated spirit, accom panied with gentlemanly and unobtrusive self-pos session. If lie will, consent to two slight reforms.- tions of stage discipline, our of which refers to the continued scraping of his feet tet his entrance ; the other to a bow soniewliet too cringing and menial on every exit and entrance, lie will be a perfectly accomplished comedian. Mrs.. Fancier is highly respectable in Lady Grace, but a little less o f the artificial hesitation of her speech, with a little more compoaere in her minion and attitude., would give increased grace and ilfect to a performance which is in other respects faultless. The home sal very much crowded in every lieu. The afrer piece was Undeve, end went off pith iis usual r I LL. At Devonshire House, nn Thbraddy evening, was given a fete of the. first description.

We, the editions and other inhabitants a Kidderminster, in the county of Worcester, humbly beg leave •gala to approach your Majesty with sentiments of loyal and un feigned attachment, to solicit your Majesty's g►acious ac ceptauce of a carpet, the effect of our voluntary and cheer ful coutributione, as a renewed testintooy of our unshaken persuasion of your virtuous honour, and of our heartfelt satisfaction in baying seen that honour triumphant over all the mighty efforts of malignity aid falsehood. We cannot fail to rtgret;thatots yet, your Majesty ban not received the fall atainemeut to which injured innorence is entitled, no► all the rights ant dignities which unsullied royalty ought to enjoy ; but this regret is greatly mitigated by knowing that your Majesty as much participate, in the fervent prayers and good wishes of the British people, as if your name stood conspicuous in the Liturgy in the Church, and that your Majesty is as really elevated in public opinion as if you shone at the head of the most splendid Court in the world. And, Madam, we cannot forbear hoping, that in the pro gress of lime, tinder the direction of a wise and benign Providence, which often produces unexpected events in fa vour of the unjustly accused, your Majesty will have to witness brighter and happier days than hitherto experienced to 1.1101310 the recollection of past adversities, and to ezbi. larate the decline of life with the purest delight. We remain your-Illejesty's loyal and dutiful *empty, (Signed en behalf of the above-mentioned) WILLIAM COATES. HER MAJESTY'S ANSWER. I should be indiffereut to the real welfare, and insensible to the ten( happiness of my fellow-creatures, if I did not feel a deep interest in the prosperity of the industrious classes of the community. It is therefore with uufeigited satisfac tion that I receive this affectiunate Address Rum the arti sans nod other inhahitanta of Kidderminster; nor will my heat t iwrmit me to refuse the accompanying elegant speci men of [brit native manufseture. The spontaneous effusiuo of the peopli.'s love, in whatever way it may manifest it self, cannot but be highly gratifying to a much-reviled sod ■ moue persecuted Queen. Though I Irate been deprived of those Sunman which have been ■pproptisted to the Consorts of formrr Sovereigns,yet, in the artless homage with which bate been so signally distinguished by the great mass of the people, I have at least received no ordinary compensation fur the abs►nce of more ecremmitims mime.

This interesting, amiable, and beautiful young Lady, we regret to stare, died ut five o'clock on 'FritlAy morning, at A 'Holey House, of an internal inflammation. We stated last week that her Ladyship had attended the late Drawing-room, at Buckingham Palace, and also the Bull given on the night of the same clay at Carlton ; that on her return to A l i.ley House, %litre she was on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of WELLINGTON, her Ladyship felt inclucpowd, and on the next day took a cold bath, which, it was feared, had caused or aggravated tier complaint. Her Ladyship was GEORGIANA FREDERICA FITZ• NOY, richest daughter of the late Hon. HENRY FITZROY, son of CHARLES, first Lord Southamp ton, brother of the Duke of GaArron, by Ludy ANNE WELLESLEY, sister of the Duke of WEL LINGTON and Marquis %VELLEsLay ; and ails mauled to the Marquis of WORCESTER on the 25th of July, 1814.• Her Ladyship was one of the most intimate alai favourite friends of the late ever-to be-lamented Princess CHARLOTTE. The Austrian Observer, in the most positive tern's, a►serts that no application hail been rmule to the French Goveronierit for the passage of fo reign troops through its territory.

To prevent the Consuailition of their sea-stock, the Pluntilas, with stores of every description, accompanies them as far as Hudson's Ray. The equipment of the ships is considered as most perfect in every point tending to the success of the enterprise. They are rendered peculiarly strong by longitudinal binders, of ten inches thick ness, worked round the body fur some distance above and below the water's surface, graduslly dtint nishing to four inches at the keel. The origaul wales are of six-inch stuff, and the bottom plonk i ihree-inch, so that the external planking is one foist four inches at the water's surface, and wearing off to seven itches at the garbosid. Widths board there are also thick binding strokes between the decks. The bow one loose of solid wood ; the projecting part of the stem and cutwater being tilled op to the form of the body, and plates of iron, three-eighths of an inch thick, are brought up and down the bow. There is a double deck ; the tapper - plonks' are laid diagonally, and blankets are laid between the two. The whole of the inside is cased with cork, to act as a non-conductor of heat. An airing stove is fitted up in the hold, with two main pipes molting on each side of the ship, and small branch pipes feint ing from them into the different cabins. As much annoyance was sustained luring' he last voyage by the steam escaping, and which no sooner mixed with the cold air, than it was frozen, situ fell as frost, or hung about the deck in icicles, they have now a condenser on board each ship, which will nut only condense the steam, but melt the snow or ice within board, for the purpose of cooking or wash ing. The provisioning of the ships has been conducted with equal attention to the comfort of these eider rrioitig voyagers; they have preserved melds, fruits, and pickles of all kinds. The vinegar with which they are supplied is concentrated, riquiring fifteen parts water and one of spirit in reduce it to the strength of common vinegar ; and in lieu of common proofspirits they have slightly rectified alcohol—thus uhloiding increased room fur stowage. Tile ships sail d from the Nore with a fine breeze. The best wishes of their own coontrymen, and of the friends of science every where, attend them. FRAUDIILEAT Citl..A7'loN OF STOCK. A discovery look place in the Rank of England on Tues day last, which, from its nature, excited a goal deal .if alarm, and which, ultimately, led to the deist - 1100 of a fraud by which the sum of ten thotisatid pounds, Navy 5 per cent. Stack, was created, sod subsequently transferred to different parliis, to the sole advantage of one o f th e c l er k s in the office, a groileman of the name of Thomas Switthey Barnard Turner, who, we believe, is pearly 'elated to Sir Bat uard Turner, one of the late Sheriffs of the City of Lou don. The circumstances, as tit,/ transpired, have pot as yet been publicly dtvulgrd. As far as we hare been able to col lect, Wives( r, the manner in which the fr•uJ was effected was this: Mr. Turner, in the e .one of his duty, hail to enter its one of the transfer book, a boas fads transfer of a given quantity of stock, to the amount of 4,0001. 10 this he added 10,000/. so that, prima larie, the transfer appeared to he 14,000/ Ilaviog thus laid the foutitiatiou of the object which be had in view, the next step was to dispose of the 10,000/. which lie had thus, by a simple stroke of kis pro, croatrol. This second step was accomplished wills almost as much fa cility as the first. Purchase., were fouud—orfereuee wait had to the origival entry—dine the stock sea: fooled regis. tered, and the transfers were regularly made. Ist emus). plishitig this ingenious contrivance, there was necessarily much of complexity, but the sal teat was complete. The next, and hot less importaist st Pointe, was to diegitis• lbe original entry, and fur thin purpose the pige of tl.e transfer. hook, in which it was made, W 3 ,4 torn out. The acrideutal detection of the removal of this leaf, kJ to till itillUtly, which terminated, rather unexpectedly, in the exhibition of the whole plut,atitl but fur this detectson, the tt soarer might bare remained a secret for a notch longer period. The frau dulent transfer look place so far bark as March. At the coueluaiou of the investigation, Foy, the police officer, who is Ist the constant employment of the Bank, was sent to take Mr. Turner tutu custody. He found him at his house io %Valvrorth, sad brought him to some of the Directors, who were assembled at the Batik parlour, Ware whom he underwent an examination. The result was, • confirmation of the suspicions which wi re entertained against (mint, and Fuy was directed to detain him in custody till the next day, a warrant having been obtaiusd to justify that dew' ion. From the known respectability of the young man, however, added to his geueral gentlemanly deport ment, and the confidence which bail previously existed as to his integrity, the Dirretoss were unwilling to treat him with more harshness than was consistent with his persons! safely; they, therefore, did Out deem it sit vases) , to send him to the Conquer, or• to any anklet places of safe custody usually devoted to the keeping of offenders, but permitted Foy to take him to any place which he thought might be more convenient to himself, •nd where ns little alitidg ment in his comforts might take place as the circumstances might warrant. Foy, under this authority, took she unfor tunate young in u to the Cr... Tavern un diens ell green, where tie was treated with ewes y it:du:genre, and was at night locked up in n bedroom on the thud flour. His further exatnivatiou was to Live taken place on the ensuing day.
