Stith brilliant success. This opera has been played at Covent.gerden theatre, where the principal Bearer of attraction was the appearan ce o f Miss M. Tallies the heroine. W e are not going to institute a comparison between the two Ladies with respect to the qualities of voice, but to give them both credit for a nice perception of the author's text, arid for adding in no inconsiderable degree, by the spirit and discrimination of their acting, to the favourable impression arising from the display of their vocal abilities. Muss PATON'S Rosins can beast of • delightful combination of the charms of both; the opening duet with Nlr. Leon' Lea was lotidly encored. This decided mark of ap probation Ives out confined to a single in►taucr, it was again elicited by the sweetness rod vivacity with which she song her guardian's favourite air, and lolled him into a convenient slumber, which enables bet lover to enjoy a few halcyon moments. She also gave " Amoy, de• eeiver ' with that enviable etejoaesetaf t , which re sults from the consciousness of beteg gifted with powers fully equal to the perfect eineession of the trek assigned u►, and which [lever fails to awaken • kindled feeling in the bosoms of the audience. Mr. Jon EV and Mr. laurrots are not new in the cha racter• of C'evat Alveaciva end Figaro, and it will be sufficient praise to bay, they were not inferior to their former efforts. It would be unjust to omit the mention of Mr. WlLLiests's Doctor Bartok ; it was a very creditable performance. IVe are quite aware of the absurdity of bestowing an unjus tifiable meed of praise on any theatrical performance, as there are so nanny witnesses, to controvert any un warrantable assertion, but we ere sure they must be very fastidious critics. of the very worst description of the germs irritabile, who could withhold their approbation from the opera of Houma, as it has been produced at this theatre. Several of the cha racters are performed in excellent style, and none so destitute of some portion of merit as to prove an unpleasant drawback from the general effect of the piece. It was received with demonstrations of the most unqualified approbation and the liveliest satis faction by a crowded audience.—Those who are in terested in theatrical affairs will not perhaps think it out of place to remark here, that this opera has been lately btought out in America. where Mr. PHILIPPS has imparted au extraordinary degree of eclut to the character of Count Almaviva, and advanced himself still higher in the public favour, in which be was before so firmly established. The Earl of LIVERPOOL will shortly lead so the altar Miss CHESTER, the sister of Sir ROBERT CHESTER, Master of the Ceremonies. Miss CHES TER was the intimate friend of the late Collate's of LIVERPOOL, whose sufferings, during her loag and painful illness, she strove to alleviate. The Coun tess, it is said, contemplating a fatal termination to her illness, and knowing her Lord's a tt ac h men t t o retired an d domestic -habits, recommended to him her friend, as one who, in the event of a secon d union, was most capable of affording hint domestic felicity. A twelvemonth has elapsed since her Ladyship's decease. The marriage was appointed to take place a few dap ago, but it is supposed to have been postponed in consequence of the sudden death of the Noble Earl's late colleague.—(Suaday Paper.) Sir FRANCIS Buttnerr is now residing with his Lady sod family in the house of Sir Joint KEN NAWAY, et the fashionable watering-place of Sid.. mouth. Sir FRANCIS honoured the hospitable owner of Peak House, E. B. LOUSADA. Esq. with his company at dinner on Sunday lam, where a large party was invited to meet him. A number of workmeu are now employed at the King's entrance to the House of Lords. The angle of the piazze near the entry is to come dolma, so enable the royal carriage to drive op to the grand door.

Mr. But.t.ta, one of the p►incipal clerks of the Privy Council, left London a few days p►evious to the kina's departure for Edinburgh. to be in readiness to attend his Ms, MITT in bolding a Privy Council, which, it is understood, will be princi pally for the purpose of swearing in some Scotch I'ri►y Counsellors. This was not necessary in it.. land, as there is an Irish Privy Council attached to the Lord Lieutenant. There is no such officer in Scotland. Whilst the Royal squadron was timing Whitby, on Monday, Lord and Lady NoitaiatiuT put to sea in au open bout. and came alongside the Royal Ge9rge, ■nd his MAJESTY complimented her La dyship on her courage. The Royal George was towed on Tuesday morn ing, by the James Watt. as far as St. Abb's fiend, but ou account of a strong vresserly wind, it was thought prudent to pot back to Berwick Bay. Mr. Beatty of that town had the honour to send three solnuat on board, sod a quantity of ice fur the me of his MAJESTY. It having been determined that the sword which was used by the renowned Sir WILLIAM WAL LACE, and now in the posses* of the noble fa mily of Loudon, who are lineal descendants of that illustrious hero, should be in readiness for the in spection of his MAJESTY, the sword liss been sent off from London Castle, in Ay►.hire, for Edin burgh, under an escort or a detachment of the London troop of Ayrshire yeomanry cavalry. The following fact demonstrates the great anxiety which prevails in Scotland to see his MAJESTY. On Thursday night, about nine o'clock, a covered ca ravan, loaded with eight weavers from Wry, bound to Edinburgh, arrived at a change-house in the Gallow.gate, Glasgow. They kept the landlord up all night, and only spent four shillings in meat and drink. They were well provided with boded ham, a box of boiled eggs. a large cheese, a suf ficient quantity of bannocks to serve them for ten days, and a keg of good whiskey to keep the cold from their hearts during the night.

MOST REMARK ASIA CASK OF TINS EARL AND COUNTESS OF PORTSMOUTH. [From the Edinburgh Courant ] SlR—Seeing a paragraph in your Paper of Saturday last, rev/rectum the Earl of Portsmouth, affecting to impress his public with a belief that his Lordship's sudden departure from his family originated in some cruelty and indigaity practised upon this Noble Peer, fur which there is not this smallest foundation, the public are requested to wapetad their opinion on this es-parfe paragraph, which has Imes traced to have originated with the solicitors of the MM. Newton Fellowes, his Lordship's brother and presomptive heir, who has been the secret instrument of taking his Lord. ship away for purposes easily to be guessed at. Soon after the Earl of Portsmouth's marriage initio-h. premiss Cousteau, this Mr. Fellow., attempted to procure a commission of Nosey against his Noble Brother, with • view, ultimately, of setting aside the marriage; be heir' neat is succession to the Earl's honours and estates, and dreading the consequence of his brother's elision with so young a lady. Bat in this be was to his great mortill cation, unsuccessful; and the Earl bas ever since that time (now between eight and nine years) resided with his Lady; but during that period every obstacle has beta thrown In the way of their comfort. and which involved much litigation in the English Court of Chancery. It was however, • few months ago, in order to put an end to all further dispute., agreed to leave all matters in difference to the arbitration of a gentleman of the Chastely Bar, of the name of Skirrow, and this reference has been proceeding up to the very moment of Lord Portsmouth's "sudden" de ()erten- from Edinburgh, on Tuesday, the 241 iastaut. Lord and Lady Portsmouth have, for many months, been residing in this city. Her Ladyship being in delicate health, and is a state of pregnancy, had put herself under the satire masagr swot of Dr.Jaaes Hamilton, jaw whose skill as a physic'. • and accoucheur is as well known as his character for how' Red Integrity is proverbial, best who had been assailed wiilk scurrilous anonymous letters, that Lady Portsmouth had come to Edinburgh to smuggle a child. His Lordship had r left his Lady, my sister, Lady Portsmouth, during the misty months they resided in Edinburgh, and uniformly evinced the most conjugal attention sad affectionate solici tude fur her, and seldom quitted her room eseept to take a walk or an airing, sod pay a morning visit to Mrs. Nurtou'a, at Abbeybill, a relation of his first Lady. Or Tuesday morning, the 24 bastaai, his Lordship break fasted with his Countess, and left bee about one o'clock in perfect good humour, to take his walk ; telling his Lady he should won retsina to her, sad take an early dinner at three o'clock. He was soon after seen going along Priureesiatreet ; sad un passing the Royal Hotel, Mr. Fletcher Norton, a son of Mrs. Norton, rushed out of the Hotel, and joined hie Lordship, and after a short conversation, prevailed opus Lord I'. to get into Mrs. Norton's coach, which was wailing for the purpose near the Register-office, sod drove off on the road to Haddington. They were soon after followed by Mr. Nortuu's chariot, with post horses, sad a person is it of the name of Coombe, who had assumed the same of Cul. Cooke, and concur. red is the plot, and which overtook Mrs Norton' h a few mike beyond Haddingion, when they all got into Mr. Norio'''. chariot, and drove off with the utmost speed, teaselling day and night towards London, mud proceeded to and arrived at Lord Crawley 's boom, in Surrey, on the Thursday following in the afternoon—thus travelling neer 440 miles in 51 hours. Hie Lordship had ont • change of apparel of auy description, nor had made the smallest preparation for such a journey. They were pursued to that place, where Mr. Skirrow bad joined the party, but all access to Lord P. was refused by that gentleman. What passed afterwards is unnecessary to repeat. ; The politic will draw their own conclosioas on the proba bility of this extraordinary Sight being t►e sporreor set of Lord P. and on the motives which actuated the promoters of it. I feel it, however, incumbent upon me to assure the public, that I am in precision of evidence to phew that Mr. N. PeHowes was privy and accessary to the whole plus, which was conceived and formed shortly after Lady p►egnaacy was made karts to hun.—l request you will iu aerl this in your Parr.
