THE 11-IL:1'1'11E.

lIAY-ALIRKET.

After a long interval, during which some of our best plays
have been performed, the Managers of Covent Garden Company
have at length made an attempt at novelty in a new Comedy,
which was produced at this Theatre on Thursday evening
called ' Independence. or the Trustee.'
with respect to plot, the comedy before us possesses so little,
that any person may foresee at the beginning what will he the
conrlusio'i of the play. The dialogue is also very defective, it
has neither wit, humour, sentiment, or even pun to recommend
it, but is absurd and vid,:ar iu the highest degree was heaial
with patience till the close, when tic disapprobation of the au-
dience became loud and general, and it was given out for re-
petition amidst an universal tumult of hisses and murtnur4.

MARCH 12.

ELOPEMENT.

Lady Charlotte Wellesley's elopement with Lord Paget is the
theme of general conversation in the West-end of the town. Her
Ladyship arose at the usual hour on Monday, and after passing
some time, according to her custom, with her infant family, iu
the nursery, she left it for the breakfast-room, iv here she break-
fasted alone; Mr. U. *Wellesley, her husband, being confined to
his room by indisposition. Shortly after she ordered a foot-
man to attend her to the Green Park, having a wish, as
she said, to take a walk. She left him at the gate, with di-
rections to return for her in an hour. During this interval,
Mr. 11. Wellesley had left his room, and inquired for her.
A servant was sent to the Green Park to look for her, Wit all
search there and every where else proved ineffectual. When
Lady Charlotte left the house, her agitation Wf.S so great as to
be apparent to all the domestics ; the butler particularly ob-
served, that •in the hurried manner in which she prepared to
lease the house, she had put on her cloak with the wrong side
out, The footman who attended her also observed much agitas
tion in her manner, while, with a hurried step, she was pro
ceeding to the Green Park. It had been also customary with
her to take her eldest child for her companion, in her morning
walk. The little fellow earnestly desired the usual indul-
gence, but she refused, and he was left behind: Mr. Wellesley
sent his children to the house of his brother, at Chelsea. On
the same evening, Lady Emily Wellesley, her sister, came to
his house in Curzon-street ; and having received from her mo-
ther the keys of her sister's drawers, carried off part of their
contents in three bundles, without having seen Mr. H. Welles.;
ley. As soon as he was informed of this circumstance, he se-
cured the remaining articles; and observed, that Lady Emily
must explain this circumstance hereafter. It also appears from
the statement of the domestics who attended upon her out of
doors, that she had ordered, within the last ten days, consi-
derable quantities of dresses of various kinds, at the same time
desiring the trades-people not to send them to her house, but to
keep them until she should send for them.
Lord Paget, according to various statements, accompanied
the Expedition to Spain chiefly in order to disembarrass himself
from the affection which he secretly cheribhed for Lady C. Wel-
lesley. Absence is perhaps the worst expedient to which lovers
can resort. The moment Lord P. returned, the flame for some
time repressed, broke out in him with redoubled violence, and
produced the catastrophe now deplored by the relations on both
sides. It was.rumoured, we should observe, that a duel, at-
tended with lamentable consequences, had taken effect between
Lord P. and Sir A. W. ; but, in the absence of better accounts,
we do not think, from the attendance of the latter in his senato-
4'riai capacity; that any credit is attached to such report•

M/IRDER.—A barbarous murder was committed ou Thursday
evening, on the body of Miss Fourner, an amiable young lady
twenty:four years of ago, the daughter of an opulent farmer at
Chepstowe, Wilts. Miss Fourner had received the addresses of
a young man of the name of Fawke, for the last two years, but
in consequence of some disagreement the inatth was broke off,
and the young lady gained another suitor. She had been on a
visit at a hisuse half a mile from her residence, on Thursday
evening, and on returning home with her male friend, at tea
o'clock on the night stated, they were attacked by two persons,
one of whoisi knocked the man down with a bludgeon, and the
other hurried off Miss F. from the spot. She was found dead
in the same field in an hour after this transaction, cut in different
harts of the head and body. Fawke has not been since seen at
the village of Chi pstowe, where he also resided; and there are
strong proofs of his having been the pe...etrator of the horrid
murder. The young man who was vi ith Miss F. lies in a dan-
gerous state.
