blage of fashionables, among whom were—Prince Lardarin
Cimitalii, Princess Esterhazy, Count and Countess Munster,
Count and Countess St. Antonio, the Duchess of Richmond and
the Ladies Lennox, the Marchioness of Salisbury, the Mar-

Bearhaven, to be presented in a silver box.
It is quite impossible to credit a report which is exceedingly
prevalent in the literary circles, that the Emperor of. Russia is
at this moment negotiating for the purchase of the Royal Li-
brary at Buckingham House.—Every volume, in this splendid
assemblage of books, was collected by his late Majesty; for
when he came to the Throne, what was then considered the
Royal Library, (except a curious body of facetiae, in all lan-
guages, collected. by George II.) was given to the British
nseum by the Hing.—lt is true that the Houghton collection
of° Pictures are deposited in the Imperial Museum at St. Peters-
burgh ; but it would aue bad taste, and very inferior policy
indeed, in the feeling of those most interested, under any cir-
cumstances, to permit a transfer so little creditable to the nation.

POETRY.

THE TWENTY-FIFTH OF MARCH.
• BY A TENANT.
That " when a Lady's in the case,
All other things of course give place,"*
Was once a doubt with me, friend GAY;
But LADY Day the fait-expfains, •
lVho never comes but she distrains,
And carries all my things away !

T.UE THEATRE.---The novelty last night at
Drury-lane Theatre was the appearance of Miss
S. BOOTJI as Cora; in the Tragedy 'of Pizarro,
and it may be fairly said that the part hes
never been represented with more truth and pa-
thetic expression. This tribute to the merit of
an actress, who by all accounts is highly esti-
mable in her private character, was strongly
supported by the general sympathy and applause
of the audience. The peculiar excellence of
Mr. KEMBLE, the original representative of
Rolla, must in no slight degree be impressed on
the public mind ; but in justice to Mr. KEAN,
it must be acknowledged that he renders it alto-
gether striking and impressive. Mr. COOPER
deservedly rises more and more in public
esteem, and his performance of A/swizo is well
calculated to strengthen his professional repute.
Miss EDMISTON was the Elvira, and with more
practice she is likely to be a very useful addi-
tion to the London Stage.—The Play-altogether
has so much bustle, variety, and force, tat it
still excites a powerful interest.
An Irish Paper observes, that two women have
been taken into custody charged with being White Boys.
A little crooked fellow, with a parenthesis pair
of legs, was the other day complaining of his poverty to a
friend., who thus consoled him—" Why. ! poor you may be,
Dicx; but depend upon it you will never be in-kneed I"
