DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

After the Coronation, which went off last night
with its iisoal eclat, the farce of the Weathertork
was performed. Mr. Powell, (min the Dublin
stage, made his debut in Tristram Fiekk. To an.
audience accustomed to an excellent representation
of this character, M►. POWER presented him-
self under great disadvantage. He appears to
understand the businem of the stage. and studious
to please, but in the essential quality of voice he is
very 'defective. Au apology was made for Miss
Cutivrr, announced for the character of Voriella.
Mr. RUSSELL stated, that she was absent in con-
sequence of severe indisposition, and claimed the
indulgence of the audience so /avow of Mrs.
OaQea, who kindly undertook to perform the part.

Some erroneous paragraphs have appeared in se-
veral Journals relatively to the Prince LEOPOLD of
Saxe Coburg; from which it might be inferred
that he is still in Paris. We can assure the public
that his Royal Hightleas quitted the Grand Hotel
de Cast,lle, on the night of the I.t instant for Co-
burg, where he now is.—(Juernal de Paris.)
It is expected that on the winding up of the
late QUEEN'S affairs, there will be a surplus of
about 10,0001. for Mr. AUSTIN.
A very splendid party are on a visit to the Earl
of MORLEY, at Saltram ; Earl SPENCER and Lord
MORPETH are of the Noble Earl's present distin-
guished guests.
On Sunday se'noight Dr. GORDON, Dean of
Lincoln (formerly Dean of Exeter), attended divine
service at Exeter Cathedral. The venerable Gen-

ROYAL VISIT.
PUBLIC ENTREE OF THE SING INTO DUBLIN.

Friday. It was at once the most magnificent and
the most attractive spectacle ever exhibited in that
city. No words can adequately describe the bril-
liancy of the scene, or the intense interest and plea-
sure which it excited.
The preparations commenced at day-break. At
six o'clock the whole city was in motioo. Precisely
:it twelve o'clock his MASSSTT left the Lodge in
the Phatnix,perk, and at that hour the shops in
town were almost universally closed. Great prepa-
rations were made for the reception of his MAJeSTY.
Three triumphal entries were erected, and sur-
mounted by the crown on one side, under which
were the wordr—

assistance with all possible speed; but the extent of injury

On Thursday morning, about half.past two o'clock, the
extensive factory of %letters. T. Prix and Suns, sear Welliag-
tun was destroyed by fire. It was discovered first by a per-
son Inhabiting the lodge, at the entrance of the premises.
It soon found vent at the windows, most of the interior
being enveloped is flames. An alarm was instantly given to
the family, whose dwelling-honse is near the spot. The
whole of the factory was soon wrapt in flames ; and the
exertions of the eogines from Wellington, and another
which is kept on the premises, were entirely directed to the
preservation of the dwelling-house, and another building
adjoining it—all attempts to arrest the progress of the fire
in the place where it originated being useless. The vicinity
of the river allowed a copious supply of water to the engines,
which were replenished sod worked with the greatest alacrity
by the populace, whom the alarm of the conflagration bad
brought to the spot; and the wind providentially veering
round to a favourable point, the dwelling-house, &c. ware
Burred. Nearly all the machinery is destroyed, together with
aisrge quantity of wool. The fire is supposed to have ori-
gloated in the natural beating of the wool. The property
am insured.

to • part where the railing was taken down, about 10 or

turbance about shutting up the gate; I heard some person
call out, " They are attempting to shut the gate;" I saw the

was at such • distance I could not see what was going on;
I saw the Life Guards return hack, draw their swords,
