Madame Morrottsu has lately published some
Tales in Paris, in which she has introduced some
celebrated names, including DAVID HUME and
WILLIAM Pga tr. The Gazep de Fea'see, et i-
ticisitig these Tales, says—"'lo say the truth, the
rieforrner, PENN, has not much the air of • per•
nonage of romance; he makes about as good a
figure in a novel us etLytiv would in a Cpidie
Opera." The fair novelist, however, compels
her rigid hero to owu the omnipotence of the
little god, and represents him in love. " This,!!
observes the Parisian critic, " is not surprising, for
PRIX comes to Paris, and could not *are leis hear;
from the attractions of a French woonate." •

COBURG THEATRE.

The performances of last evening were fur the
benefit or the (toyed Coburg Theatrical Fend, re-
cently instituted for the 'relief of decayed Actors
and Actresses of the concern.. They commenced
with • local sketch, written for the occasion by
Mr. BRYANT, which cooveyed to the audience the
whimsical idea of the various and natural situations
to which a country actor is exposed—firvt, in a
state of penury and dejectedness; then enlivened
by the supposed mot of pnaiaota fortune; and, in
the end, advanced to en enviable elevation at the
Royal Coburg Theatre, where he not only be-
comes • member of the Finid, but is rewarded with
a sum of money for his service., far above his most
sanguine eipectaiions. The last icene of the piece
represented the Temple pc Charity, where Mr.
M'CAIITHT, the Chairman, inrrounded I/ the
Committee and the Members of the Fund, sup-
ported by Charity, delivered the following Address,
written by himself—the audience, with a *due re-
gard to his merits, not only as Chairman of the
Committee, but as ag actor, rewarded his exertions
by a liberal expression of just applause:—
