COVENT GARDEN.

The Bridal was brought out at this Theatre for the
first time on Saturday. The principal characters were sup-
ported by Mr. Macready and Miss Huddart with, if pos-
sible, more spirit than at the Haymarket. Mr. Anderson
also played his part in a natural and effective style, and
promises from what we have witnessed to become an ex-
cellent actor. The play was given out for Thursday next
by Mr. Macready, amidst thunders of applause. Mr.
Macready and Mr. Anderson were both called for, and
presented themselves, when the curtain dropped.

One of the revenue police stationed at Manor-
hamilton, under command of Mr. Byrne, has just succeeded
to a property near Tuam, amounting to 1,5001. per annum ;
the estate was litigated by an eminent attorney in Dublin
for another branch of the family, who did not succeed in
proving his title, and it has thus unexpectedly fallen to a
young man in humble life.—Limerick Chronicle.

On Tuesday night, soon after ten o'clock, three of
the prisoners confined in the Scotland•street gaol effected
their escape by making a hole through the wall which sur-
rounds the prison yard. The breach in the wall was dis-
covered directly after the men had effected their escape,
and in time to prevent the rest from following their example

sheep and hops, commences this day ; the pleasure fair
continues nearly the whole of the week.
Corsica, that classic land of vengeance and assassi•
nation, has recently been the scene of a double tragedy, in
which two families, united by marriage, and consisting of
father, daughter, mother, and son, figured as the principal
of the dramatis person . . The parties in question were the
widow Antomarchi, her son, Pietro Paulo, Diogenes Bona-
vita, and his daughter. The latter was married to Pietro
Paul. The widow Antomarchi, though arrived at the steady
age of 42, " when the hey-day of the blood is pissed," had,
it seems, become pregnant, and malicious fame had repre-
sented Diogenes Bonavita as the seducer of the elderly ma-
tron. Pietro Paulo, desirous of effacing the stigma cast
upon his family, had, through the agency of a bandit, named
Rinaldo Franchi, forwarded a letter to Diogencs Bonavita,
threatening him with assassination if he refused to marry
the widow Antomarchi. The bearer of the letter having
been arrested, the whole truth was discovered, and Pietro
Paulo appeared before the Court of Assizes at Bastin, on
the capital charge of aiding and abetting in sending a letter
with threats of death. He was found guilty with extenuat-
ing circumstances, and condemned to five years' imprison-
ment. His young wife, the daughter of Diogenes Bonavita,
was in Court when the sentence was pronounced, and fainted
on littering the fate reserved for her husband. At the se-
quel of the melancholy tale, we are obliged to add, that
the bandit, Rinaldo Franchi, but too faithfully fulfilled his
sanguinary menace against Diogenes Bonavita. The let-
ter, on proceeding to Bastia, to solicit a commutation of pu-
nishment in favour of his guilty son-in-law, was met by the
outlaw, who fired upon and mortally woundedt the object of
his threats. The unfortunate man a few days afterwards
breathed his last.—French Paper.
