COVENT.GARDEN THILITRE.

The opera of Rob Roy was performed here last
night, sod received with considerable approbation.
The charsetent of Diana Versos, Rob Roy. and
Baines Nicol Jamie, which were wont to be repre-
sented by Miss STBPIIIIIII, Mr. 111aClaMIT. and
Mr. Lteron, are now sustained by Miss M. Tose.
Mr. Yarn, and Mr..W. FAIII6II. The heroine of
the novel becomes a mach lea. important personage
when transferred to the opera: she has liule else to
do than to sing some very pretty airs, to which it is
scarcely necessary to say Mies M. Tart's voice sad
taste are fully equal. Mr. YATIS'S Rob Roy was*
clever performance ; in many parts he was very op-
pressive, particularly where he describes the wreck
of his own fortunes, and considers hew it may in-
fluence the fate of hie children. Mr. W. FAWN',
Bail& was io his peculiar quaint style of act•
ing, which harmonized very well with the chs•
meter. The scene at the inn, where he uses the hot
poker as a weapon of offence with so much dexte-
rity excited a groat deal of merriment. The otber
characters were very well supported. The splendid
romance of Cherry mid Fair Star has not suffered
any eclipse of its brilliancy since hut season. The
piney. with all its gay and ornamental decoration.
bears itself as pliantly as ever, and the beautiful
scenery presents itself to the eye in its origiwl and
vivid freshness. Miss FOOTS'S claim to the title of
Fair Ssar ninon' be disputed ; her danciag with
Mrs. VIPIING was extremely graceful. and come.
quently had • very pleasing effect. The house OM
well attended.

On Sunday morning, at ten o'clock, his Royal
Highness the Duke of YORK left his resideoce in
the Stable-yard, St. James's, for Cheveley Hall,
pair Newmarket, on a shooting excursion for a few
days.
The Duchess of KaNT and the Doke of CLA
alma: attended divine service at the new Chapel
Royal at Kew, on Sunday.
On Saturday the Prince of Lamina, scceo•
ponied by Captain COWBOY, left the residence of
the Duchess of KEPT, at Kensington Palace.
for the King's Cottage, ■t Windsor, for the pur-
pose of being introduced to his MAJUTY.

The Duchess of KgNT dined with the Duke
and Duchess of CLARINCE, at Bushy, ou Satur-
day.
•

THE Majesty has resumed his usual
exercise during his retirement at the Cottage in
Windsor Great Park, where he intends to continue
during the whole of the present mouth. His vi-
sitors and associates, male and female, are the wise
honourable and noble persons, who, when it has
pleased his MAJESTY to withdraw from the fstigue
and turmoil of state etiquette, have for a length of
time enjoyed the seclusive privilege of Royal miles
and favours. The idle stories, relating to Royal
caprice, and the exchange of one favourite for
another, are defeated by this fret. The week before
his Majesty left town preparations were actually
made for a journey to Foothill, to which the Kill
was induced by the warmly coloured representation
gives) to his Majesty by the Duke of Wellington,
but the awkward and even stormy posture 01.11411
oilmen at the time prevented the visit. The first
week in November is the earliest period when has
Majesty intends going to Brighton, where the work-
men are busy in preparing to receive him. ?frith.,
the Duke of York nor the Duke of Cambridge
resided in the Pavilion whilst thry were at Brighton,
but in a house in Marlborough•rew, rontiguuu, to
the Palace. Lord Francis Conynghool,
who 113,
been indisposed, is the only inhabitant at the
Pavilion.
The 'frond assembly fur the season took pl-re
at the Royal Hotel, Plyiunoth, on Wedneedi”.
under tire patronage of the Countess of Moat let
and was attended by upwards of three hundred
persons of distinction. Amongst the enirip.iny
