COVE/VI:GARDEN THEATRE.

Mrs. BEAUMONT made her first appearance at
this theatre on S•eteirday night, in the character of
'sate/la, in The Fuld Marriage. This Lady is
nut new to the st4ge. Sire has played in the
northern theatres, and about a dozen years ago per..
forir.ed at the Haymarket theatre. Sire was then
of triatived age and talent, of pleasing person, and
feature. It may be easily conceived that time
has not improved the charms of face or person.
The Lady, however, is not without the advantages
th.t good sense never tails to derive hunt expe-
rience. Sine seemed perfectly acquainted with the
business of the stage. • lint this is a very weak title
to the high place which Mrs. BEAUMONT filled
on Saturday night. Kith the impression of
Vat. Isalreihr of the last live years fresh in the
recollection of a London a lithe rice, it Is no or-
dinary talent tlvet can s.sti.ly their expectations.
Mr. AIM:READY preserved thr interest of the play
from falling into utter iiirlitTererice. His travel-
worn appearance' and manner, his fire and judicious
delinealion of a trallt frrhug, accompaniedwith
subdued passion, wire in beautiful iliougli melan-
choly keeping with the bewildering disasters of his
fete. His performance was a 'perfect image of a
brave .alfectionate man, whose experience, though
it had hardened his exterior, had left his heart as
open us ever to the advances of love and kindness.
It was lucky for the Ludy that Iris fall left an im-
pression which kept the ferlitigs of the audience too
busy to attend to her subsequent defects. When
the curtain dropt there was a considerable stir of
applause, but there was not one symptom of appro-
bation strewn in her progress through the part.
