ftiE4fßa. COVICIT-OARDEN. Lest night the tragedy of ifrirginims was peeforan ed at this tbeatre, in which:Min Bitsustotrit played (for the first time) the character of Virginia. With Miss FOOTS'S faithful representation of this iute resting character fresh in out recollection, we coufen that any actress would have ceusider. able prejudices to overcome in the aitsrpt. It i s , however, hot justice to Mile BssViStri!T e to say that she has most completely suc ceeded. She has folly realised, if on our parsed. the high opinion we had intensely formed of her dramatic talents. The character of Virginia does not afford much metope either Awe the display of the judgment or the passions; hat in delineating the artless simplicity,' art& affectionate tenderness of the Roman maid, the principal characteristics of this character, Miss BEAUMONT Now most successful. Her voice 1O clear and musical, he► aruallatiou distinct, and her action extremely graceful ; and with those qualities co tare, but at the sante titre so indispenoulite in su socomplished actress, it will not be considered a rash entijecture to say, that we expect at no dismal ps;riod to see this interesting actress a most disuse., guisilied °Fussiest of oar stage.

The Duke of Sussex returned thanks in an des gout speech, in which lie expressed the high plea sure that lie felt in arciog so numerous an attend ance of Statesmen, Noblemen, and persons of the first weight iu society, to honour a Chief Magistrate like the present anis their support. When he witnessed such a sight as that was. with a bibute of respect, divested of all purty feelings, to the Constituted Authorities, he defied malevolence itself to say that the country was not safe and sound.

The LORD MAYOR said be had returned thanks for the honour coeferred on himself, and he had now to return thanks for the honour conferred upon the Lady Mayoress, and in doing so he felt himself peculiarly situated, for lie felt that it was to that lady's presence that he owed the honour of the at tendance of so many distisiguished females wrist aow graced the occasion. lie could only say, that her services added to the debt of kindness which he already owed to her.

The dancing immediately com menced ; and, though the crowd was great, the company were not so mach incommoded as on foes nter occasions. The Ladies were elegantly dressed, and there was a delightful display of youth and beauty. The dancing continued to a late hour. THE CORONATION. The orders of the Board of Works have been minding with more than ordinary 'eery is Westminster-hall; and to that circumstance, more than to any other, are we disposed to trace the revived rumours respecting the corvette°, of hie Majesty; and it in said that the objeetiesa of the Chan cellor of the Eschrquer, on the ground of the state of public Inises', to a postponement:of the Baster nonottroment of the Howse of Comontion beyond Noonday week, comprehend the probability of some notice for etoucluding the arrouge meets fur his Majesty's coronation. The galleries awl pas. saxes, and the servant' glass pantries behind (mod ingeui ously bid room the passages), fur Me different articles re golfed during the grand festival, are all completed in West teiester-half, except the mere rovertug of the seats sad fresco ornaments iii front, which it is estimated meld be 'Wished he a fortnight; and these being mere superficial ornaments, it is not necessary they should be laid us Emil the last mo ment; but the gilding and stucco work materials are all on throw', and every thing indicates t h e truth of the rumour that the coronation will take place is the ensuing summer. —The great alterations now carrying us in Westminster. ball by the Board of Works, are in the repairs of ties ancient roof, many parts of which epos perforating the timber for mapesnliug the chandeliers fur the coronation, were found so rotten, that the safety of this noble roof, which, for its meehanims and antiquity, bas become so justly it:libretto% required an immediate separction'of the dicayeti party, and the fitting in of substantial joining. to coMplete the frame work. A general survey of the roof lately took place in consequence of Me discovery of this decay, sod the oak (which according to the popular tradition, was first imported by William Rufus) was found mostly sound, but the cherry- I e rafters were wormeatee : they have hem in consequence ' all takes down mill renewed. It was deemed right In the pogroms of the wool( to take down the old lantern which illuminated the hall from the lop of the roof. Its weight was found to have made an impression on the roof, and the taking it down was a difficult mod rather perilous work, from the enormous quantity of lead which was clumsily used in its original manufacture. A new lantern is mow erect. log in its stead of a light and IMMO useful (urns. Instead of lead, sheet iron is to be used with the timber frame work, still preen vim; the Gothic firm so essential to the tinily of the structure. In three weeks it Is calculated that tic whole repairs will be 'Wished, and then the upholstery part will alone remain fur completive.
