GEORGE ROBINS will SELL, at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, May 16, at Twelve, in Two Lots, GROUND RENTS, AMOUNTING TO SIXTY-THREE POUNDS A YEAR, Indisputably well secured upon newly-erected and very well-built houses, approximating upon the Islington Spa, near to the New River Head, and surrounded by a populous neighbourhood. It is secured upon, altogether, sixteen houses, and the value to secure these ground-rents, which will form One Lot, is about FOUR HUNDRED A YEAR; it is. consequently, a security without doubt or risk, and this, be it remembered, with THREE PER CENT. CONSOLS AT PAR, assuredly this must be a good time to transfer them into ground. rents. Adjoining is a snug private house, respectably occupied, close to the celebrated Spa, which, by industry and tact, may be rendered very productive ; and there are two houses adjoining. The produce of these leaseholds is 75/. a year, and the rents are paid most punctually. In olden times, 301. was the usual morning receipt from the Spa, or, as it was denominated in 1773, " The Holy Well ;" but it must be macie more public to secure again the entire patronage of the public. For cutaneous disorders it is said to be an infallible cure. The situation of this desirable investment is rapidly progressing in public estimation. It is held for sixty eight years.

THE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE was the favourite abode of JAMES BARLOW HOY, ESQ., who for a lengthened period was THE MP. FOR SOUTHAMPTON, and it is a fact not to be impeached, that if the new purchaser partakes of his hospitality and sound political creed, " HE WILL WALK: OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER THE NET ELECTION ARRIVES." THE MANSION is the commanding feature of the property, and may claim to be one of the great lions in this delightful vicinity, for the late lamented Proprietor has, in its completion, spared no expense to combine in unequivocal taste LUXURY AND SPLENDOUR, WITH THE MOST PER NEAR the Rural VILLAGE of PINNER, Close to Harrow-on. the-Hill, Middlesex, within a Mile from a Station on the Lon. don and Birmingham Railway.

THE FARM-HOUSE AND BUILDINGS, are in good order, afford plenty of accommodation to one of the very best tenants in the kingdom, a man of substanee, who pays a very low rent of 3201. PER ANNUM without a murmur. The Farmstead was originally designated HOBART'S HALL, and with a trifling outlay of a few pounds might be remodelled into a PRETTY GOTHIC ABODE, One thing most worthy of remembrance is. THERE ARE NO OUTGOINGS. Not one farthing expense has been required of the worthy pro. prietor for the last forty.five years, and Mr. Richard Chickall, the tenant, and his family, have grown wealthy on the Estate, and farmed it most admirably for THE LAST HALF CENTURY. A forcible proof (than which none can be more decisive) of the Farm having an unimpeachable good character. Mr. Robins suggests this as a solid investment, from the improvements wrought upon it by an enterprising tenant, surpassing by his system all its compeers in the neighbourhood. It is a foundation whereon to calculate in a few years of obtaining a permanent INCOME OF 4001.

The exterior of the mansion is of a pleasing character, partaking of the time of the sixteenth century, although of modern erection ; within the most com plete family accommodation is offered, indeed an abode possessing more of real comfo t cannot be imagined. There are ample offices, kitchen and flower-gardens, the boundary of the property being the high road on one side, and on the other it reaches to CLEEVE TOOT, A STUPENDOUS CRAG, which is seen in singular contrast with the woods, from all parts of this extensive vale. It is also in the immediate vicinity of those TRULY PICTURESQUE AND SEQUESTERED DELLS, THE BROCKLEY COOMBE AND GOBLIN COOMBE, objects of considerable natural beauty, forming, as if by some freak of Nature, extensive valleys, adorned by rich and luxuriant planta. tions, extending for many miles along forest glades, with drives of the most diversified and lovely description; and ever and anon beautiful knolls of velvet turf are seen, which to the mind's eye pourtray THOSE VERY SYLVAN SCENES OUR IMMORTAL BARD SO VIVIDLY DESCRIBES FOR THE MEETING OF OBERON . AND TITANIA, IN HIS "MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM." Attached to the mansion are very complete out offices and farm. buildings ; THE DOMAIN OF CLEEVE COURT INCLUDES 260 ACRES, with some of the tichest Grazing Lend, two excellent Farm Re sidences and suitable Buildings, EXTENDING TO HENLEY WOOD AND CADBURY HILL, a most extensive and luxuriant sheep walk, opposite to which there is a site for a Villa, and front the summit, where in days of yore a Roma n camp was formed, the most glorious and diversified panoramic scene is presented, includ. ing the whole of the luxuriant North Valley, with the Bristol Channel, and its moving scenery, whilst in the distance the eye reaches the Ckedder, Monmouthshire, and Glamorganshire Hills.

Proceeding from thence around by the Village of Patton not far distant from the Church, is A VERY COMPACT ESTATE CALLED CADBURY FARM. An excellent Farm-house, with 22 Acres of particularly rich Land, occupied by the Misses Gregory; and on the Clevedon-road are TWO EXCELLENT DAIRY FARMS, of 158 Acres, and 92 Acres, occupied by Mr. John Lyon, and Mr. Arthur Beaker, the former possessing a newly built Resi dence, with excellent buildings, and the other a very comfortable House and Buildings, called the Mill Hay Farm.

Also a small Farm of 55 acres, part being in the Salt Marshes, in the parish of Yatton, in the occupation of Mr. James Gage.

A PRODUCTIVE GARDEN AND ORCHARD, at the rear of the best of the houses in High.street. This property (conformable with Mr. Robins's invariable custom: he proclaims to be NOT A LITTLE THE WORSE FOR WEAR ; his reliattce chiefly is to be found in the certainty that Rickmans. worth is PROGRESSING FAST IN PUBLIC ESTIMATION.

The presen t i ncome rather exceeds ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN POUNDS A YEAR, and it will not be doubted that au outlay of 300/. or 4001. will give 501. a year additional incone plaasan t prospect at this time, when it is difficult to obtain 3 per cent. for capital : it is, there fore, suggested as a reasonable opportunity for the [limited capi talist to escape the danger of Three per Cents. at par, and employ it at Rickmansworth more safely and profitably.

THE BURE HOMAGE is within two short miles of Christchurch and the Sea. THIS SPLENDID MANSION displays conslderabge taste. The architectural skill cannot be tco highly panegyrised—there is a bold commanding appearance—such an imposing front as to leave others at a fearful distance. The entree to this delightful habitation is by a Lodge of clever design, and a circuitous route through the pleasure-grounds and planta tions, encountering the novel scene of SEVERAL RURAL BRIDGES, across the fresh meandering stream, which pursues its irregular course, and materially aids this magnificent spectacle. The back front, which extends to 160 feet, is supported by NOBLE CORINTHIAN COLUMNS. THE GRAND SUITE OF CHAMBERS are in communication with the spacious paved Gallery. The effect which is here produced is really quite electrical ; nothing in nature or art can surpass it. THE BARONESS DE FEUCHERES has given manifest proof of extraordinary taste in the arrangement throughout. On an emergency twenty-five beds have been made up. The baud of an artiste of superior pretensions is visible every where; indeed, everything resolves itself into the unequivocal term of perfection. There is a little demesne of THIRTY.SEVEN ACRES OF PARK-LIKE GROUND, disposed in unequivocal taste, with flowering shrubs and expen sive plants to diversify the picture, and additional land may be had if the possessor should require it. The kitchen-garden, with lofty walls, is fully commensurate for all the legitimate wants of a family. The Court-yard incloses an infinity of offices of the best description; detached Laundry, &c. The situation is quite beautiful. If HER MAJESTY TIIE QUEEN had been advised to see it, little doubt will be entertained that it would have " TRIUMPHANTLY CARRIED THE PALM." It is close to Christchurch, where the bathing is not surpassable. Lots of hunting and shooting close at hand, and but three hours' drive from Southampton, and six hours only from Louden. The climate is very mild, longevity prevails everywhere, and an East Indian, in moderate health, will add at least a twenty-one years term to his life. The Mansion is appropriately furnished throughout, and may be taken at a fair valuation.

GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by the Proprietor to SELL by PUBLIC COMPE TITION, at the Auction Mart, next month CREMORNE HOUSE, CHELSEA, WITH ITS FASCINATING AND BEAUTIFULLY. ORNAMENTED GROUNDS, on the bank of the River. This far.fimed place of entertainment is offered most opportunely to spirited individuals. Vauxhall-g adens have ceased to exist. They did not move with r.-ufficient judgment or activity, and consequently tell a victim ; but a disiierning public will necessarily require, aid immediately A MOhE Pr:III.TC 1' VAUXHALL, combinin , advantages that were entirely overlooked at the old spot, and avoiding the manifest imperfections, so often, and at I,st so late) y predicted, to that of the old school. THE MARCH OF IMPROVEMENT, progressing at a railway pace, from the new Palace towards the once favoured abode of LORD AND LADY CREMORNE warrants the fearless assertion that a spirited individual, with a moderate capital, and an observing and reflecting mind, must soon realise a large fortune; if he possess but tact and can beget novelty, he will leave no feeling of lament that the purified spirit of old Vauxhall has risen in a more fashionable region During this month, THREE GALA DAYS have delighted th usands of visitors, and put an enormous gain into the pocket of the spirited in. dividual who orit2inated it The letting of the Gro Inds for pubbe or private fetes, flower-shows, &c., will proceed without iaterruption, andoecasionalli also ARCHERY COMPh 'FITTON AND RIFLE MATCHES, for which, grounds set apart offer ranges up to 300 yards. Mr Robins would enlist the capitalist a d speculator to bear in mind that a SPLE s 1)11) INDEPENDENCE can be reaped by skil ful management. The situation is in itself beautiful, and of daily increasing importance. THE ELEGANT MANSION h as a l w ays been an object of admiration to the throngs gaily gliding on 01,1 Father Thames on steamers in rapid succession ; its conve niences are very perfect, mending suites of chambers of noble pro portions, the five principal apartments on the ground floor esminu. nicotine, and forming an extent of 160 feet, all beautifully deco rated ; the floors of tine oak, the doors of polished mahogany, and the windows of 'date glass ; numerous sleeping chambers, and ex cellent offices.

ON SHOOTER'S-HILL—BROOM HALL, a RESIDENCE of IMPORTANCE, in the most PERFECT ORDER, to OCCUPY IMMEDIATELY, EMBOSOMED in its DELIGHTFUL GROUNDS, and a PARK of FORTY-ONE ACRES of RICH PASTURE. 34 - . GEORGE ROBINS has great pleasure in being instructed by the worthy Proprietor to offer for sale by private treaty, or to be let for a lengthened period of years, BROOM HALL, WHICH HAS FOR MANY YEARS BEEN RECOGNISED AS THE GREAT FEATURE OF SHOOTER'S.HILI, and the character which this favoured spot has acquired, it need not be urged, has placed it far above all contemporaries. There is nothing throughout England to surpass its high and deserved repu. tation. It may be observed, it is not intended, in this limited space, to extend the description beyond an outline—for to do it justice would treble the length of this announcement. First, it is in THE MOST PERFECT ORDER FOR OCCUPATION. This has been accomplished by a recent and very judicious outlay. The distance from the metropolis is within the hour, by means of steam bold. In " THIS ELEGANT ABODE" will be fund everything that may be understood by the compre hensive term of comfort—a merchant, or banker, or professional man of high character, or a man of fortune may repose here without the alloy of a single want ; ingenuity would be at a loss to discover one, and its outward appearance is so commanding that the new possessor will assuredly be envied the possession of this property. To recur to the situation—it is altogether so beau teous, that it is difficult to do it justice without subjecting the panegyric to be considered as having coloured the landscape too highly. The views are diversified by an infinity of lovely scenery. The river is a great feature, lending to the ensemble a very great interest, and from its contiguity, it really seems to be an appendage to the Estate. THE PARK GROUNDS EXTEND TO FORTY-ONE ACRES OF RICH PASTURE, full of hill and dale, prettily timbered, and a rich shrubbery and plantation, which runs parallel for a considerable distance. The undulation in the Park Grounds is quite refreshing, and, indeed, the thing altogether is so recherche, that - Mr. Robins cannot con clude this appeal so well as by inviting ocular demonstration. Particulars and a card to view it may be obtained in Covent garden.

It is on an elevated position , with STREATHAM COMMON, and the park and demesn e of the late COU NTESS OF COVENTRY toform by boun d a ry.

In the park there is a variety of hill and dale to vary and improve the scenery, which is perfectly beautiful, and to those who would increase their ways and means it will occur that AN IMMENSE FRONTAGE, PARALLEL WITH THE RURAL COMMON, may be separated from the mansion, and no t intermeddle with its comfort, inasmuch as the f ull- g rown timber is a very secure guard against the operations of a building o p eration . A LITTLE ARMY pu reOtaF VILLAS WILL NOT BE SEEN , andthe increasing reputation of this lov e l y spot would leave no doubt of the certainty of t he s p eculation.

The external architectural form is very chaste ; the front adorned by six lofty pillars, with a paved gallery leading to the terrace walk, extending to the shrubberies and plantations, which are laid out in the best taste. The entree is by a covered approach. 'Within the Mansion its advantages and capability may be summed up in one short sentence— " NOTHING WHATEVER IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED." To a Nobleman whose sphere of duties attaches him to the Court of his Sovereign—to an East Indian seeking for an appropriate Resi dence, in which to prolong his days in the enjoyment of his vast acquisitions, with increasing health, yet with Oriental magnificence-- or to a member of "THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON," who seeks to invite propinquity to the rendezvous, or the comforts of a luxurious home, a residence is here offered combining advantages not to be equalled in the neighbourhood. THE DOSIAIN EXTEND TO 550 ACRES, including the Thornhill Farm, of 200 acres, one portion of which is of especial value, as offering an undeniable source of increasing revenue in the rapid formation of a small and select town, which is already rising on the estate, in elegant . and detached villa residences. The short distance from Southampton, combined with the extreme beauty and healthiness of situation, offer the greatest attractions to a fashionable and opulent society. Portions of the estate have been already let off on building leases, at rents producing Is. 6d. and 2s, per foot frontage, while the most beautiful sites are still unlet. About 45 acres of the most luxuriant fir and larch plan tations, and an equal quantity of valuable land, forming a small farm, are still available for this important purpose; and the recent erection of THE NORMAN GOTHIC CHURCH. is the best proof of the increasing population of the neighbourhood. At a short distance is Midenburg, presenting another most important field for a building speculation. The Thir;.y-two Acres comprise every variety of hill and dale, with ♦iews extending to the Isle of Wight, while THE SOUTHAMPTON WATERS AND THE NEW FOREST appear close at hand. This site has been pronounced by an ex perienced landscape gardener of acknowledged taste to be the most beautiful situation in the southern part of Hampshire. In short, the property, whether taken as a whole or in the detached portions, as intended to be offered for Sale, is in every point of view in. lluential beyond any contemporary ; and Mr. Robins confidently invites the attention of noblemen and capitalists to so important an opportunity as is here presented to them. The estate can be seen only by tickets, one month antecedent to the sale, to be had of Messrs. H. and R. B. Sewell, solicitors, New. port; of Mr. Peaty, auctioLeer, Southampton ; and of Mr. Robins, at his Offices, Covent-garden. Printed particulars, which will contain a drawing of the mansion and grounds, and a plan of the estate (price 6d.), may be ottained as above ; of Messrs. Fosters and and Evans, 2S, John-street, Bedford-row ; at the Auction Mart ; and at the Dolphin, Southampton. N SUFFOLK, a FREEHOLD ESTATE of CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE and VALUE, EXCEEDING ONE THOU SAND ACRES of EXCELLENT LAND in the HIGHEST POSSIBLE STATE of CULTIVATION, with ALTON HALL, a GENTLEMANLY ABODE, PLACED in a MOST RO MANTIC SITUATION, EXTENSIVE GARDENS, LAWN, and PLEASURE-GROUNDS, ALTOGETHER ONE of the BEST ESTATES for SPORTING THROUGHOUT ENG LAND, WITHIN FOUR SHORT HOURS DRIVE of LON. DON; and a FAMOUS INVESTMENT for a WORTHY MEMBER of the YACHT CLUB. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by the instructions of the Executors of WILLI AM DEANE, Esq. , lately deceased, to OFFER to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, June 18, at Twelve o'Clock, in Lots (and in pursuance of the Will it will be without reserve), a very important Freehold Property. THE ALTON HALL ESTATE AND DEMESNE, very advantageously situate 6 miles from Ipswich, 14 from Col chester Terminus, and only separated from THE PORT OF HARWICH by the ernamental river Stour, By the way, it is well to notice an on dit very prevalent in Suffolk THAT ONE OF THE SEATS • FOR THIS TONVIsT is in reserve for the next Proprietor of Alton Hall. In describing this estate, it is not easy to know where to begin ; it is so fruitful in its ad% antages that a little judgment is required to make them all manifest in such a confined space. First and foremost requiring our consideration, is " the gentlemanly abode ;" it is of a character to render it suitable to a gentleman who would prefer comfort to outward splendour; but it is not without the capability to put on another character, and to soar very high, with. out encountering a serious outlay ; and the situation is so beauteous that no one would hesitate in its adoption. It is on an elevated position, approached by an AVENUE OF VENERABLE OAKS; .. —.— the grounds . are delightfully irregular, with hill and dale and dells and precipices, without termination, varied by the meander. ing of a streamlet, and the waters may be rendered quite orna. mental at a trifling cost; with THE WOODLAND SCENERY WHICH IS QUITE BEAUTIFUL in every direction—a little army of thorns, contrasted with an infinity of ever green oaks, are seen contending for the ascendancy. The plantations which screen the abode are very extensive and luxuriant beyond measure. The gardens are fully competent to be independent of the expense of Covent-garden market, with THE CONSERVATORY, HOT-HOUSE, cucumber and melon beds ; and a pretty Dutch garden must not be overlooked in this concise but imperfect detail. Next in suc. cession it will be essential to point out the nature and extent of this elgible investment. First, there is a very comfortable WATER CORN-MILL entirely shut out of view, with a cozy habitation, and 20 acres of capital land, with the jolly Miller, Ranson, a very superior tenant, who contributes his low rent (110/. a.year) to " the ways and means." The supply of water is never exhausted. THE ENTIRE DOMAIN EXCEEDS ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY ACRES OF superior Land, and it will be confirmed that it is in thriving condi tion when the reader is told that Mr. Deanes and his worthy fa mily have located upon it over a period extending to nearly a cen. tury. Around the house, and to form the first lot, is 520 ACRES, entirely within a ring fence, adapted to wheat and barley, with plenty of good turnip land, and a superior residence for a bailiff, and all the concomitants in the shape of farm buildings, extending nearly to the LITTLE RURAL VILLAGE OF STUTTON, with coach-houses and good stabling, with every essential out.door office. Next in succession is ARIVAIITON AND lIARKSTEAD, TWO FARMS ACCOUNTED QUITE EQUAL TO ANY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE COUNTRY; and this observation is made advisedly, inasmuch as they have always been DENOMINATED PLEASURE FARMS, to which term they have pleaded guilty, rather than be only a source of profit. Arivarton Farm has a residence upon it, (bat would be very captivating in the eye of a sporting gentleman. AS A SHOOTING BOX, would have no rival ; and one of the great attributes to THIS DISTINGUISHED PROPERTY, is, that it soars very high for the quantity of fame. It is sun rounded by THE ARCHDEACON BERNERS, who preserves his game very strictly; and Alton Hall necessarily partakes considerably from the immensity of birds that resort to the woods. The quantity killed annually would produce a large in come. A navigable river runs parallel with these two farms for a mile and a half, and extends to the sea. IT HAS A CAPITAL QUAY and a Pier, and all the appurtenances necessary to put on board all the produce fur the London market, gaining the highest prices and shipped at a trifling expense. This alone increases the value of the land ss. an acre, but the soil is so fertile that it grows splendid Wheat and Barley, and the appearance of an immense flock of Sheep proves its superiority as Turnip Land; but this is a story only half told. THE BULLOCKS FATTED ON THIS LAND remove all doubts of its quality. At this present writing are a dozen ready for their projected journey to Smithfield, where they must bear the palm, although they have got fat on the turnips alone, never having been indulged, even by way of a bon bouche, with the sight of oil cake or corn. This is incontrovertible proof, as strong as Holy Writ, that the Rental will exceed FORTY SHILLINGS PER ACRE. - _ THE TITHE IS WELL COMMUTED, AND ALL THE OUTGOINGS EXCEEDINGLY MODERATE. It is quite refreshing, as the eye wanders over this large tract of fine land, to see how the fields absolutely groan with the quantity of manure, and a little host of dunghills to replace the bygone season, and it must be remembered that it is of the best sort that London can produce. These Farms are about four miles from the Hall, with a capital road to them. The estimated value of the whole Estate, with the Mill, but independently of the Game, ap proaches TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR ; and now, by way of conclusion, let the holder of THREE PER CENTS., ALREADY BEYOND PAR, remember the memorable declaration of Sir Robert Peel, in this Session of Parliament, " I neither have, nor do I contemplate any change whatever in the Corn-laws." _ And when he has digested this cheering fact, let him dispassionately debate in his own mind upon the unequivocal superiority that land now preserts as opposed to the very, very unhealthy price of the Funds. The neighbourhood is highly respectable and prone to good f e l_ lowship. There are three pews in the Churth, with a faculty for two of them, and the late excellent proprietor was for half a century se quested to continue churchwarden. There are four very good Cot tages for the labourers. Mr. Robins could easily lengthen this moderated detail, but he is inclined to believe enough is promised to incline the fundholder to transfer some of his uncertain stock into " Terra Firma."

SALE AT THE COUNTESS OF MANSFIELD'S. The sale at the Countess of Mansfield's, on Richmond-hill, demonstrates what Mr. Robins modestly hinted at in his an nouncement, that it was net sacrilege to pronounce it a hum ble rival to Strawberry-hill.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Mademoiselle Plessy made her first appearance for the sea son, last evening, and we are sorry to see it announced that, her engagement is for a few nights only. We had hoped to have had -her amongst us for a few weeks at least. She made her debtit last evening, in the character of Charlotte de Merian, in Alexandre - Dumas' comedy of Les Demoiselles de Saint Cyr, which has recently been drawing all Paris to the Theatre Francais. The scene is laid in the latter days of Louis XIV., when Madame de Maintenon, in the height of her power, had founded her celebrated establishment for the education of young ladies at Saint Cyr, and when the Duke of Anjou, the grandson of the Grand Monarque, had been left the throne of Spain, and was about to take possession of this Royal legacy. The plot of the first act is laid at Saint Cyr. Charlotte de Merian, (Mademoiselle Plessy) one of the pupils of the establishment, has attracted the attention of the Vicomte de Saint Herem, (M. Gaston), who h av i ng pro cured admission to Saint Cyr clandestinely is pressing his suit with anything but honourable intentions. Charlotte, however, has, in Louise Mauclaire (Madame Mery) a mentor, whose shrewdness and presence of mind, stand much in the way of the Vicomte's success, and, accordingly he englices Hercule Dubouloy (M. Lienard) a rich and foolish roturier, whcris proud of being intimate with a Noble, to make love to Louise, while he himself pursues his suit with Charlotte. Louise however outwits him. She has given information to Madame de Maintenon, and in the midst of their protests • tions, the two gentlemen are arrested and hurried off to the Bastile, from which they only get released by marrying the two ladies. The Vicomte, as soon as the marriage is over, announces to his wife his intention of settling a sufficient sum on her, to enable her tomaintain the rank to which she has at tained, and of quitting her for ever. She refuses the settle ment ; he is, however, inexorable, and, accompanied by his friend Dubouloy, who, of course, imitates the \• icomte s ex ample in deserting his wife, sets out for the Court of Spain. The third act opens at the Court of Madrid, where Saint Ilerem is the favourite of the King. A bal masque' is given : two elegant French women masked are introduced by the French Ambassador. They attract the notice of the King. His Majesty is evidently smitten by them, but, being called away, commends them to the parti cular attention of Saint Herein and Dubouloy. They also are fascinated by their charms ; they request them to unmask, and discover that the ladies are their wives. The King en ters, and with great glee informs them that he has an assignation with the ladies for the morrow, an announcement which is received with horror by the sinfortunate husbands, who are both equally anxious to know which lady is the fa vourite. In an interview with the Vicomte, Charlotte in- forms him that she is no longer his wife ; that the Pope, through the interest of Madame de Maintenon, exercised at her express request, has annulled the marriage, and that he is free. Dubouloy, when informed of this, concludes that he also is free, but alas! although the noble's marriage was an nulled, the plebeian's was confirmed. Charlotte is the object of the affections of the King. Saint Herem's affection returns, and eventually, of course, he is re-united to hi s wife, and, accompanied by M. and Madame Dubouloy, the latter of whom has procure,d for her husband a patent of nobility. they leave Spain to return to France, to resume their station in society. The acting of Mademoiselle Plessy was beautiful and appropriate throughout. She was by turns the simple minded, trusting, affectionate girl—the broken-hearted wife —the polished lady of fashion, and the high-spirited, high minded woman, sensible of what was due to her station, but willing to make any sacrifice to secure the love of her truant husband. As a specimen of la haute come die, the Charlotte of Mademoiselle Plessy is entitled to hold the highest rank. She was called for at the conclusion, and received with the usual honours. Mademoiselle Mery, from the Lille Theatre, made her first appearance in this country as Louise, and created a most favourable impression. She is very prettv, very lively, and acted the character with a degree of playful archness that was quite fascinating. This young lady is a very great acquisition to Mr. Mitchell's company. The theatre was filled in every part; the boxes, which were almost exclusively Ecupied by the elite of the fashionable world, were crowded. . - - -- --- -------- --- 'INTENDED STATUE OF HER MAJESTY—The statue of her Majesty, eight feet high, of white marble, intended to be placed in the centre of the area of the new Exchange, is to be executed, we understand, by Mr. Lough. The Venerable General Sir T. M. Brisbane, Bart., met with an accident at Makerstown House, near Kelso, last week, by the falling of a scaffolding on which some workmen wore engaged at work. The injuries Sir Thomas received were not serious. The Attorney-General is fast recovering from his recent severe indisposition, but will not attend to his profes sional duties before next term.
