LADY LENNOX.

A separation, formal and final, has been acceded
to by Loud W. Lennox, who retain 4 the property he at
present possesses, pay's all debts up to the time of the
elopement, and leaves the lady henceforward the full bene-
fit of her professional exertions. It is at all times with
reluctance that we allude to the affairs of private life,
and particularly of those persons who devote themselves
to the stage. They seem, indeed, with a very few ex-
ceptions, to have prescriptive right to act naughtily,
without in the slightest degree endangering their reputa-
tion, and frequently command, through their peccadilloes
an additional portion of public patronage and :commenda-
tion. It would be an ungracious task to enumerate the
instances in which professional favourites have availed
themselves of this disposition on the part of the public.
It would be scarcely worth while to investigate its cause.
Whether the general conduct of the beauties of the stage
has rendered this indulgence necessary, or the licence
allowed by the public has encouraged the lapse of morality,
is scarcely worth inquiry. It is sufficient for us that it
exists to a great extent, and we therefore take our leave of
Lady Lennox, under the full assurance that there will be no
interregnum of her power, or of the gratification we have
always derived from her great professional exertions. The
allusion to this lady, however, brings to our recollection
another popular vocalist, whose uniformly steady and
decorous adhesion to propriety and celibacy has excited
much attention and conjecture. That lady, we believe,
deserves all the encomiums that are bestowed on her, and
we understand they will not go altogether unrewarded.
A noble Lord, long an ardent admirer, awaits but the
freedom of widowhood to confer on her the title of
Countess.— Observer.

The recent improvement in his MAJESTY'S
symptoms is said to have been occasioned by the rupture
of an internal abscess, which took place during one of the
violent paroxyirns to which the Royal sufferer has been
subject.

THE DENOUNCED.—This production, by
the distinguished author of the " O'Hara Tales," is, it
seems, dedicated to the Duke of WELLINGTON. It de-
scribes the tragic effects of those unhappy disabilities under
which the Catholics of other days, so long struggled.--
The opposition however manifested by many " stubborn
spirits" to the vigorous measures employed by the Go-
vernment against the denounced Pap:sts, is pourtrayed
with great effect in the pages of the present work. The
author has unquestionably chosen a highly-interesting pe-
riod in the history of Ireland—a period marked by the
most exciting incidents and replete with the most dramatic
situations.

We understand that a very active opposition
is getting up against the return of Colonel GORDON, of
Cluny, at the next election for Weymouth, and it is said
that Major WETLAND is the favourite candidate. This
gentleman is married to Lady JOHNSTONE, whose son,
Sir F. JOHNSTONE, is patron of the borough.

The Observer says, that " on Tuesday, so
thoroughly were all around the KING convinced of the
impossibility of his continuing to exist much longer under
the repeated paroxysms of the disease, that they actually
gave notice at the Lord Chamberlain's office of the air,
proach of the demise of the Crown, and Mr. MASH
and other persons connected with that department went
to Windsor to make the necessary preparations on the oc•
sion." We really cannot bring ourselves to believe this
