TIIEATHIt& COVENT-GARDEN. Tie comic opera of Cry Mannering was retire 'enter' on Saturday evening—but Miss SOMER VILLE, *bow. intended appearance to the wild eiiaracter of Meg 'Werra eras tunced in the tonne of the week, did not sustain that part. At the theatre. her non-appearance was attributed to indicposition"--a very equivocal ward—but we fetlure the fact to he, that this young had Iris been induced, somewhat precipitately, we may, perhaps, add, a little imprud e n tl y , to give up her e ogageineot. Under ordinary circumstances. we should not probably have 'loured her ael!W•loil-- fail we feel ourselves bound to make au observation er two on the subject, in consequence of a pant graph, most industriously circulated during the !Ist few days, in which it is decidedly asserted, " that Miss SOMERVILLE gave op her articles, be cause Miss O'NEtt.t. had refused to perform with her in a forthcoming tragedy." We have been ' w aled—a:id our authority ia not a slight one—that this statement is not true, in the sense which the paragraph means to convey. Miss O'NEILL did refuse to play the part, but not with any reference p ers onally 19 MIMI SOMERVILLE. How could it he so ?

Miss STEPHENS wall in admirable voice, and sang her pretty ballad airs In that sweetly plaintive style.— " Which charms these hurts that science einem move," The beautilul air " flask thee, my baby ."' and the song of " Donald," which she introduced iii the third at t. were rapturously encored. Mr. Du: RUSE? executed the airs attached to the character of Henry Bertram with exquisite taste. Mrs. Yam's' Meg Meer/lies, though less powerful and terrtfic than that of her predecessor, is a bold and energetic performance. It is almost superfluous to speak of Mr. Livens's Dominie Sampson, or the Dandie Diiisnotit of Mr. EMERY, and yet it would I,e unpardonable to pus them in silence. Nailing,' can he conceived metre natural or !ice entertaining than their performance of those characters. The part of Dirk Hatieraick, formerly represented by Mr. TossLY. was creditably sustained by Mr. COMER—and that of Gabriel, which Mr. Tit+ MEV orignitilly acted, WAS given to Mr. J.

We have been honoured, in the polite columns of The Morning Post, with a vety angry letter, assuming all the dignity of insulted virtue, in re probating our humble observations on some recent tatrehrilt,. regarding his Majesty, which, as we now dirictiver, fir,it appeared in that newspaper. We wish to give as wide a circulation as possible to this heroic epistle, and we therefore reprint it : (Windsor Express.) _ " IJrs RIA.I . ESTY - AND WINDSOR CASTLE. " AIR. LDITOR—In reply to the ourtormotable and wont imaccountable contradictions which have appeared, I re assert with confidence the truth of the statement with which I furnished you, and which appeared iii The Morai•g Post, 'few days saner, not only relative to his Majesty's accident, but also respecting the stale of the Royal apartments s. What the motives may be for contradicting these facts, it is not fur WIC to say but you know the indisputable authority upon which my information rests, and that I have never in any instance deceived you. I cannot coliclude without re marking upon the impudence of use of your coteinporaries, who, as 'toggling in the trade of wilful fabodiusid to prolong . • miserable existence, merits oily the contempt of every human' able " I remain, Sir, " YOUR FAITHFUL COHILit ESPONDENT" " • Tire fear of disturbing his Majesty by the noise of the workmen, is the cause of the apartments nut :remg re p:med." To enable our readers distinctly to estimate the value of the " unwarrantable and most unaccount able cirtrutlicttons," we also reprint the' statements from " indisputable authority," as they appeared its 'he Morning Post of the 13th of January : " ANECDOTES OF II IS MAJ ESTY Jo. 1. " Apprebensiona, we are sorry to hear, begin to be enter tained with respect to the duraSiun of our good old King's life, in consequence of an alteration in his diet and regimen. " It is now some time since the King met with an seri dint from stumbling over a chair in his daily perambula tions through the five apartments. His Majesty's left leg was much hurt, and he was confined fur some time before he recovered the use of it. The wily exercise the King now takes is that of being wheeled about in one of Merlia's chairs." " THE KIGS APARTHENTN. " We asserted minor time ago that the smile of rooms occu pied by the King wile in a very dilapidated state, owing to the want of repairs in due time. We stated that these apart ments were shored up ; scaffolding poles have since been introduced, sail every other necessary precaution has beets taken." The " Faithful Correspondent" has. we are sure, satisfied ull those persons who are nut entire be lievers in the infallibility of that mysterious and equally important personage, the Court historian, that blustering assertion is not proof. We certainly did not furnish him 1111 example of the course which he has chosen to follow ; we did not call " Anec dotes of his Majesty, No. I." the small wares of the " trade of wilful falsehoOd," but merely designated them as the loose conjectures and strange asser tions of ousatisfled curidsity." We shall not profit by the license of the " Faithful Correspondent," in libelling the language of " The Fashionable World," which he might maliciously be presumed to speak, occupying as he does so important a station under this attractive title of the most fashionable paps/ ; but we shall temperately and briefly apply ourselves to the establishment of our own °beer- vations. On the first point, regarding his Majesty's state ' of health, we affirm in direct terms, as we have be fore affirmed in substance, that NO " apprehensions begin to be entertained with respect to the duration of the good old King's life," except the ordinary liars which may be suggested by the gradual ap proach of those infirmities of age, to which the most vigorous constitutions must one day yield. We also affirm, that N 0 " alteration" has taken place in his Majesty's " diet and regimen." We further distinctly state, that Os Majesty never hurt " his I • - I left leg" (nor his tight, for we do not want to cjaib -1 ble) " from stumbling over a chair in his daily per ! ambulation." We rest these affirmations, Ist, upon the monthly bulletins for the last three years, ! which, if the " Faithful Correspondent" is right, are notoriously and culpably w ron; ; ; and, 2illy, I upon the universal and acknowledged belief of all 1 those gentlemen by whom his Majesty is surround ed, abetter legal guardians, medical advisers, or confidential attendants, who, although they would shrink with horror from detailing the slightest of the afflietious of it r d Monarch, to give a tinge of credibility to " Anecdotes" which are to form plat of the slip-slop of • .. fashionable" Jouttisl, yet laugh to scorn the monstrous absurdities, at the de -1 tection of which the " Faithful Correspondent" is so indignant. We should not hesitate to tell ally ! honest and gentlemanly inquirer the immediate Iwinces of our itifornialon ; but we do not choose Ito proclaim them, fur an hireling to bespatter with I the frith which lie presumes to throw at ourselves. We are content to leave the issue to the opinion of those high and honourable men who, on the last Sa turday of the present month, will again meet to in- ' form the nation of their !Monarch's state: if they publish (what we are sure they will pnb4sli, if no sudden alteration intervene) that his Majesty's bo dily health remains unaltered, the public will dis cover to which dominion, that of truth or falsehood,' the " "(MVO Correspondent" has sworn alle giance. Of the second point, which regards the dilapi dated state of his Majesty's apartments, we have simply to repeat our kroner assertion oldie need lessness of any sericits repairs. Our mat ore these :-4t 5 , A cm Weraticti that his Majs:'y's 10.7 gsl guardians rated have been most reprehensible, if they 111111 permitted him to endure the privation* of ruinous rooms, " shored up," when Windsor Castle offers •n abundance of the most splendid as well as the most convenient apartments. Such a charge is monstrous end offensive, and might pro perly come under the cognizance of the Attorney (l.:lmre'. .2111 e, That we are convinced, by that lo cal knowledge which every person intimately tic quaiuted pith this noble building poi . a, that the tpartinents occupied by the • King, viz, those which lie inhabited previous to his illness, ale amongst the must substantial of the whole fabric ; that this part of the Castle underwent a complete repair previous to his Majesty's removing to it about %sewn yens since ; and that the state-opertinesits immediately shove his Alajesty's, though now abut up from pith lie inspection to prevent noise, are amongst the most sumptuous and beautiful of the whole fabric. idly, If the •' Faithful Correspondent" is still pritine cious idiom the " scalfuldeig poles," lie wo 4 l o l do well to visit Windsor, where he may easily procure a view of the exterior of his Majesty's apartments if lie does not trust the evidence of his sesisrs, lie may inquire of the pers o ns usually employed iii re pairs, who will tell him that not a eciitfolding pole had been Wlllllll3ll hundred yards of this spot fur the last seven years ; if he resist this proof, ■lid be lieve that the interior of • Monarch's chamber is graced with these ornaments, we can only conclude that he is one of those weak people who repeat their own inventions all they themselves Achieve them. This is the most charitable construction ; but we are not aware that any holies: purpose can be served iu attemptiog to persuade the nation that their af flicted Soyereign is shut up in ruinous rooms ; it is a lbel upon the affection of his family, and the duty of the honourable characters who are charged to watch over his comforts. If we had permitted this calumny to remain current, we should have thought ourselves almost as culpable as the in ventor. We dismiss the " Faithful Correspondent" with sentiments of great pity for that infirmity of temper which he discovers at our interruption of the quiet progress of his series of " Anecdotes." We trust he will not be discouraged in his labours ; for they are not only brilliant specimens of a fertile inven tion, but famish a more philosophical curiosity in teaching us how far certain writers will go iii specu lating upon public gullibility. We most sincerely wish that the " Faithful Correspondent's" felicitous existence may be coeval with that thirst for the wonderful and scandalous which some of his patrons se abundantly gratify ; and that he may never want it job, as lung as the hutp direct and the hum cir cumstantial shall continue to preserve their iiiflu ence over public opinion. We only recommend him a little discretion in the exercise of his func tions; for it is no light matter to accuse the first characters in the country, both of misrepresenting the real state of their afflicted King, in their Monthly Reports, and of neglecting to provide for his proper comforts by removing him from dilapi dated apartments to those which are more commo dious and substantial. After such a gross insult to exalted rank, we can hear our own opprobrious epithets very patiently : next to the praise of the wise and virtuous, we shall ever desire the abuse of the weak and malevolent.—( Windsor Express.)
