DRURY-LANE THEATRE..

The comedy of rows Gad Coantry was perform.
ell last night at this theatre. Mr. COOPER, the
Gentleman who has figured so successfully in
Romeo. appeared in the character of Renbest Idea.
soy. Miss %laysHON. who has been absent front
the theatre these two years, sustained the part of
Rosalie Somers; and Mrs. 7'rot was perform-
ed by a Mrs. Doses. her first appearance on
'heat boards. Mr. COuPKit added to his re-
putation. and notwithstanding the !coral startles)
and hyperbolic sentiment which incommodes ihe
dialogue, gave it a fresh, vigorous, anti natural
effect. His articulation is not so smooth perhaps
us it aught to he, nor his gait and ins.iner suffi-
ciently elevated for the stalking dignity of this
chivalrous mountaineer ; but fur whatever defects
he manifested, and they were few, the author of
the play must he mainly responsible. The 'Mies
before mentioned acquitted themselves with great
credit. The other parts were cast us heretofore.
and bloated nothing of their origins( attraction and
entertainment. Mrs. WEIIT, as Mrs. (destroy, de-
hose.sted the character of a sensible, sell-bred
woman of quality. Mr. GATTIE. as Casey, sod
Mr. AIuNDEN. as Trot, gave perfect satisfaction in
the display of these two mercantile philanthropists.
—The piece was met by increasing applause in
every scene, and the curtain fell amidst what may
be fairly called, thunders of applause.

The following Addresses. in addition to those we
enuinprated on Moodily, will be presented to htr

Malicious reports having been industriously circulated
asionng the enemies of her Maagirrtr, with regard to the
several denominations of the officers of the QuEEN's house-
hold, we think it right to state, for the information of those
who 'nay wish to know the truth, that, according to esta-
blished usage, no person under the rank of Right Honourable
can enjoy the title of her MAMMY'S Chamberlain. It i■
in consegsewce of this that all persons so employed, below
that rank, We styled Vice.Chamberlaitts in this country,
though, that title being unkuowu on the Continent, it is
usual to employ the word Chamberlain alone.

Tim same system of etiquette, without any change, has

PEDESTRIANISM.—Captain JAMIESON perform.
ed half a mile yesterday morning, on the Edge-
ware-road, in two minutes and twelve seconds;
his time being two minutes and fifteen st.cond.. He
did the first quarter of a mile in a minute and one
second. It was for one hundred guineas, and time
was backed at 6to 4. The performance ranks very
high.
The following paragraph appears in the last
York Cornea :—Art A sesseaxn
following anecdote his got into circulation:—" A
few weeks since the Bishop of Nowsvicis received
• very polite note from the Earl of LivsepooL,
expressing his Lordship's ' deep sense of his
claims oposi Ad 11l niistration,' mid unfeigned re.
gret that uo opportunity had occurred of duly
consitlrricg them. Surprised at this unexpected
intimation, the Bishop returned a polite answer to
his Lordship, slating, that he was not aware of pos-
sessing any peculiar ' dalllls upon Admits'StratiOsie
and, as he was not conscious of having rendered
Ministers any extraordinary service, he presumed
the note was sent in mistake, therefore, beg-
gedleave to retina it. It seems the Bishop was not
erroneous in his conjectures, as the Eau! of LIVER-
root. it.formi..l hint, by way of apology, that tl:e
sene was misdirected, being intended fur the Bishop
of CHESTER."

A NOBLE Ace OF CHARITY.—A benefaction, as
singular as noble, was made on Sunday se'riniglit
to the Belfast Charitable Society. Ina collection
ill Dr. MANNA'S Metting•hOlne, tit Belfast, for that
parent Institution. two Batik post-bills of 5001.
each, payable to the Treasurer, were found on one
of the receiving plates. They were attached to u
short note, purporting that it had been the in-
tent of the donor to have left an equal sum
posthumously, but that from the pressure of the
times, it was thought preferable to contribute it
now. With a delicacy of feeling in harmony with
the e4traordinary liberality of the acts it was added
in the note, that understanding that there was en
insufficiency of bed-clothes for the inmates, the
writer would be gratified if a portion of the sum
were applied to remedy the defect.
A meeting took place on Saturday morning, at
Kensington Gravel Pits. between Lient.-Colonel
W. 1.1•11, of the Royal Scot*, and a Mr. J—s, in

" The state of agriculture here is perhaps as
young° us it can be, but from no other cause than
the idleness and ignorance of the inhabitants: the
huid is excellent ; the breed of cattle is good, al-
though it may be much impro►ed; indeed a fur-
tune is to be made trout attending to that alone.
The sort of borer is very good ; and the few sheep
we have are by no nieunA contemptible.
" The greatest want I can perceive is in weds,

" The spring is charming, and the stammer am-
ply wakes amends fur is backwardness; but the
sot surpasses any climate I have yet experi-
enced. As for the winter (4,r which so much has
been said). it is invaluable; it is generally three or
four months, or a little longer. The last, which was
said to be unusually cold, hail nine days only such►
as I call severe. &lan ilouskill, a northers, emi-
