Private letters f rom M a d r i d contain the following notices re. lative to matrimonial unions which are reported to lutve taken place in that capital " The comic actress La Sala is at last married to the Conde de Fuentes. This lady appeared on the stage for the first time after her marriage on the 17th of December. It was reserved pfor the revolution to exhibit the consort of a Grandee of Spain erforming on the theatre. She sang in the opera of Zoraida, end received as nitwit applause. as on the day Of .her debut. The pit obliged her to come forward tliree times on the stage to receive the applause of the ,public. La Sala, Countess of Fuentes, has given up for the benefit of the Foundling Ilospi. tal the emoluments which may accrue to her as an actress from the day of her marriage to the close of her engagement. " The Conde de Torre Alta, an officer of the Guards, who has been under arrest since the allitirof the 7th of July, has also just married the daughter of La Ro/bina, a celebrated mil liner. The nuptials were celebrated in the prison. There is this singularity. in th e l atter marriage_, that it is r egar d e d as an act of despair. The mot h e r o f the Count de Torre Alta has, in consequence of her violent principles in favour of the Revo lution, often forgotten not only the laws of humanity, but, it might be said; even the ties of blood. 'erson being a decided Royalist, she wished to bequeath all her property to her,son. in-law. This is now impossible, because the Count has two children by the woman he has married, who are now legitimate." • The Puke and Duchesi Clarence arrived at the Pavilion at five,o'clock yesterday afternoon ; her Royal Highness's Lady in Waiting, Lady We_st►neath, alighted from the same carriage. The Earl of Errol arrived shortly afterwards. The Royal din. ner party, besides his IllejeltY, Royal Dukes and Duchesses, and - attendant suite, included the Marquis of Bath, the Eatl and Countess of Warwick, the , Earl of Errol, the Earl and Countess of Harcourt, the I"J'arl and -Countess of Chichester, Mr. and Mrs. Stanhope, and Lord. John Townshend. -For the first time this season the Royal banquetting.room was used. The.music.room also, and the niagnificent suite of apartments, generally, were illinninatell - Before nine o'clock the company had received a brilliant and numerous increase. The King at. tended divine service today 'in the Palace chapel. In the do. set with his Majesty were' the Duke of York, the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, the Master of the Horse, and the Lord Steward. The Duke ot York, soon after withdrawing from the chapel, took leave of the King,.and departed for the Horse Guards. ASII lONA BLE ARRIVALS.

Mr. COOPLR ticted with his usual judgment and feeling in Alonzo, and Mrs. \V.WFST was very affecting in the part of Leonora. The Play was followed bya new Panternime, en titled harlequin and the Golden Axe. The story is simply this : A Wood Cutter drops his axe in a lake, and while heis bewailing -the loss, a fairy appears who promises. to restore it. She invokes the Spirits of the Lake, who first bring up a silver axe •by which the Fairy means to ascertain' whether the Peasant can be tempted by avarice, but : be honestly declares that his,axe was not silver, and . 4..does 'the same by a gold one after wards presented to him, and thelairy presents the latter one to him as a reward for his inte grity. .'The father of Columbine has rejected th e lireod-cntt er ,. b u t is tempted by the golden axe to assent to their marriage. The father then tries with his servant his own fortune by throwing his axe into the lake, and the Fairy again' appears. She tempts him also with the golden axe, which he declares to be his own. As a punishment, she dooms hititand his servant to becoMe thePaittalpon and the Clown, and the Woodcutter is rewarded by being invested with the transforming powers of Harlequin, and is accompanied by his fair rustic as the Colonibine. There is also the addi tion of Scarwuouch as Harlequin's servant. ,The usual pursuits and escapes then commence, and the Fairy finally appears to close their labours, and make them all happy in antagnificent temple. --LThere ate some beautiful scenes, and many ingenious transformations The Pantomime chit». meters were all well supported, 'but We were surprised that Harlequin did , not make one leap through the Whole of the - piece. Con siderink that this Pantontirn e has been pre pared in six- days, it is an extraordinary work, and, with such improvements as• practice may ,suggest, will pass muster, though it encaanterod much hostility at the close r but :the ayes were certainly in its favour. CovENT-GAR DEN.---The Tragedy. or virginba. the. part of Virginias by Mr. MACagAnir t and that of kith's by : Mr.' C.

It was over a brook measuring 21 feet 6 inches in width, and on land perfect. I_y level. Both cleared It cleverly, but the horse' rode by Lord Forrester made such a spring as induced his Lordship to bet that he had covered a space of ten yards, and he won by the decision of judges from Belvoir Castle, who declared that the distance was 31 feet' 6 inches, while the mare rode by Mr. Wing - covered only little more than 24 feet..—(Caledonian lifercury.)

'tilted him,. upon, Chippendale answered, with regard to matters that were intrusted' to hint froth deceased, he could rot with propriety reveal them, and hoped the Coroner would 'firotect him ; there were certain matters of delicacy in it, and it WWI necessary to preserve a woinan's reputation, even when dead ; but he bad no objeCtion to etate, that he transmitted money to th e de s ceased, and that sin offer, was made for her to -go into a family, • and her child to be provided for ; but she seemed very unwas ling t o part with it.

On the evening of Wednesday week, the stable of Mr. WALKER at Park-lane, Hatfield, near Doncaster, was set on fire, in consequence of the lad incautiously using lighted straw for singing' the horses' legs, the flames of which com municating with the litter, the place was almost instantly, in a blaze. Before assistance mod he procured, three horses were burnt to death ; and but for the humane and prompt exertions: rendered by 11.

Mr. KELSON fell backward considerable distance, but recovering he attempted to return the blow ; his assailant closed upon him and a scuffle ensued ; at. this moment an associate to the fellow came up and struck Mr. Ket.sote with a stick across the head, and cut hint seve re ly. Smote passengers coming along stood to see what was the cause of quarrel, and the - robbers at first persuaded them that Mr. KALsoN was the aggressor, by which contrivance they got, off with his watch, Ste. Yesterday, William Walker was publicly whipped in the Court-yards of the Jail here, for contravening sentence of banishment, receiving 50 stripes (25 in each Court).
