In the &mit of Common Council on Thursday, Mr. Old-
ham mid it had been stated, that the masters of the twelve city
compasses were to as.ist at the ensiling solemnity of the
coronation. This was a question that ought to he well
considered, for he believed those It Geoilemen bad no right
whatever to assist at that ceremony. He was of ()Orion
that the It gewilemen attending with the Lard Mayor at the
ammoniate, ought to be selected from that Court, and such
s sight ought not to be given np without doe inquiry. They
were kohl that (hove gentlemen mud be nominated by the
Lord Mayor. But the quettion was, whether they were *o-
utlasted as citizens or London, or as masters of the 12 com-
panies ?' Because it must be recollected that it was suit
weeireaary for the matter of a company to be a citizen of Lost-
due, and Ito believed that three were, is the present slay,

Mr. Bitispox had a bumper boa night fur hit

The play was, Avers Oue has his Fault. It is one
of the most it/mental revivals. It has all the in.

l.ffiellleal nature. situations urn all happy, and
eery ingeniims indilents turn upon the play of or-
illirsiney 'Amiens,. The acting confirmed the success
in every part, and praise is little more than
e labour of repetition in remarking on ilerformatices
so generally and eqoally good. Mr. EultierON leas
highly aristocratic is Lard lliorlend, and though his
pride seemed to be 'gaveling, it was characteristic.
LITTON was whimsical iii a high degree in Mr.
Silas. ties solicitude to be married was varied
with strong and humorous differnices of resolution.

eioliseted matrimony. Mr. !WARHEAD'S' impreased
the audience with his wend deep and sober pathos

scarcely less potent in Leidy Eleanor. Mies BRAM.
MONT put off the juvenile affection of Ad.

tainly did harmoutse the jostling and often con-

on the denettesssent in a manner which few besides
the writer ever thought of. It would be difficult
adequately to describe the interest which accom-

The national anthem was also suired•ced, the

HATMARILRT.
Last night the opera of Gin Misieserirge was per.
formed at this theatre. in which Mr. Leon( Lao.
firm the Bath theatre, made his first appearance
on a London stage, in the pert of Henry Bertram.
On his firSt cut:mice he was most fisiterinely re-
ceived, and seemed to be in no want of confidence.
His voice has but little either of depth, power, or
compass, but its tones are pleasing, and peewees •
considerable sweetness. His execution is easy and
flowing. apparently the result of much exercise
and correct traiising. His style is rather florid,
but not devoid of grarce; his ornaments are taste-
ful, though profuse, and occasionally betray-
ing too close a study of Mr. HOLAHAN'S WSW,
latrines. of which we hope time will teach Mr.
Les a more correct application. His efforts
gave perfect satisfactiou to a numerour and re-
spectable company-, and were liberally applauded
throughout—two of his songs, is I'll lore thee night
and do'," and " The bravest Knight," being en.
cored. Mr. J. RussELL, who never feels to please,
played Dandle Dinmont, if not with all his usual
excellence. at least in a very creditable manner,
and so as to acquire the approbation of the audi-
ence. Mr. WILLIAMS made the moat of &dile
ildnekkthrift. Mr. TAYLICURC gained considerable
applause in Domini* Sampson. Mr. BARER played
Colonel Massiering, and Mr. WARD Dirk Hut.'
teraick. Miss CARRW, whom we are glad to Me
once more upon time scene, played Lacy Bertram.
The long and repeated ronode of applause which
greeted her appearance, bore flattering testimony
of • welcome which most have proved highly
grateful to her feelings; she gave the tangs in her
usual chaste and tasteful style of execution. She
wad-warmly applauded in all, and rapturously
encored in " nest thee. Babe." Miss K. Coati,
in Jolla tdannering. was much applauded, and
seemed to have improved considerably upon
her former excellence. Her duet e' Banks and
Brats o' Bonny Doom" with Miss CAsew was
pleasingly executed. us was also her hist song
to Henry Bertram ; and a cave/ins of Hossiet's,
which she introduced, was truly delightful.—
Mrs. PRARCI. as Mrs. Mleatsdlish. and Mrs.
BARER, as Flora, deserve honourable mention.
Mrs. JOHNSON played Meg Merrilies. We cannot
dismiss our notice of this performance without ex-
pressing our satisfaction at the correct mid pleasing
inamaer an which the chorusses were executed, ',birth
reflects egoist credit on the performers and the ma-
nagement. The announcement of the piece for
repetitiou was received with unanimous approbation.

Great rejoicings have taken place on the ertates
of Lord CLINTON, in consequence of the long liti-
gated cause between his Lordship sad the Marquis
Of CHOLMONDBLEY bettig determined in Lord
CLINTON'i favour.
