Slomsn sang a parady on " Oh 'tis Love," in which the
following lines occur, Mr. Hayne being at the time in the
house:—

In all your letters that you write take care no vows appear,
For if you ever go to Court you'll look a little queer;
Not Hymen's Court I mean, with tender loves and graces,
But where instead are seen, long wigs and longer faces.
Oh *tit love, &c.
The coincidence was the more curious, as we have reason to
believe the singer was ignorant of Mr. Hayne'b presager.

Charles X. during the ensuing spring, at Rheims. The
Lady of Lord Granville is the highly-accomplished sifter
of die Duke of Devonshire, and much belev,:d by his
Grace. The Ambassador himself has always been coesi-
/bred one of the kindest, best-bred men in Europe: so
that the English visitors at this scene are sure to meet with
attention from the Representative of their King.
We understand that the Duke of Wellington intends
visiting this country on important business. W. 7 have
also been informed that the recent visit of her Grace the
Duchess of Richmond was not altogether of a private na-
ture, but connected in a great measure with the politics of
the country.—lrish
Sir Charles Stuatt is in daily attendance at the Foreign
Office, and his interviews with Mr. Planta have been most
frequeqt during the absence of Mr. Canning. We under-
stand the visit paid to his Majesty, by eta-eclat command, at
the Royal Lodge, at Windsor, was for the express purpose
of communicating to the Ex-Ambassador at the Court of
France, the Royal pleasure that he should undertake the
secret mission to the King of Portugal, and afterwards
proceed to the Brazils.
We regret to state that Gmeral Mina, who dined with
the Duke of Sussex on Sunday last, has since been serionsly

R spasmodic affection immediately on leaving the Palac. at
Kensington, and has been confined to his room. lie was
on Tuesday pronounced out of danger.
It is said in the fashionable circles, that Athclston
Curhet, of Ynysymain,gwyn, Esq., will shortly lead to the

Datiay-L A N K.—Last night the Spoiled Child was per-
formed at this theatre. The part of Lillie Pickle was sits.
rained h 7 Miss Clara Fisher, who performed it with her
usual spirit and effect ; and her hornpipe (a good deal in
the style of Dusty Bob) met with loud applause and an
encore. Mr. Harley, as Tag, was particularly amusing,
anti his amorous declamations to the antiquated heroine was.
only equalled by his singing a variety of fashionable airs,
in a manner purely his own. The piece was much ap-
plauded throughout, and the home crowded to excess in
every part.
We hear that it iv Mr. 'Kean's !Mention to move for a

.411 m FODT E.—RepOrt states that this actress, whose
former salary was sine guineas a week, has been engaged
at Covent-garden Theatre at (wrap guineas a week ! This
large augmentation of salary was opposed, it is said, by one
of the Committee of Management; but his opinion was
over-ruled, on the same grounds on which the demand
Was Made, namely—the great attraction which her name
would possess, in consequence of her late trial !—Ntur.
