George Earl of Aberdeen, K. T., was elected President.
Thomas Amyot, Esq., Treasurer.
John Gage, Esq., Director,
Nicholas Carlisle, Esq., Secretary ; and
Sir Henry Ellis, Knt., Secretary, for the ensuing year.
The Society afterwards dined together at the Freemasons'
Tavern in Great Queen-street, according to annual custom.
KING'S THEATRE.—La Gazza Ladra was per-
formed on Saturday evening, when a scene occurred not to be
found in the libretto of that opera. A printed apology was
circulated in the house for the non-appearance of Rubini, in
consequence of indisposition, and it was announced that the
part of Gianetto would be taken by Signor Calveri at very
short notice, with the usual request for the indulgence of the
audience. When Signor Calveri, however, made his appear-
ance, he was assailed by a storm of hisses and other marks of
disapprobation, which completely prevented his proceeding
with the part. A loud call was made for the manager, and
after a short delay M. Laporte presented himself, fortified with
medical certificates, and prepared apparently to offer his own
evidence of the fact of Rubini's illness, but in the hurricane
that raged it was impossible to collect a single word of what
he uttered. M. Laporte was in that desperate sort of dilemma
when even a man of genius is compelled to trust to chance
rather than to his own resources to extricate him, when a Sten-
torian voice from the pit roared out, " Why do you allow people
to sit in the orchestra ?" This so completely shifted the ground
of attack on the manager, that the absurdity of it was irre-
sistible, and the audience having indulged in a hearty laugh, the
' next step naturally was, that they were restored to comparative
good humour, and the opera was allowed to proceed. After the
opera the ballet of Zephir Berger was given, the principal
parts in which were sustained by M. Perrot and Mademoiselle
Carlotta Grisi. The lady evidently gains in the public fa-
vour, as her new and piquant style is more understood, and
was vehemently applauded. Two other new dancers, Made-
moiselles Ancement and Dorsay, from the Milan theatre, have
been added to the corps de ballet.
COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—A new and very
pleasant afterpiece was presented hei e on Saturday night, called
The Assurance Company ; or the Boarding School of Mon-
tereau. This little drama is of the same class as The invin-
cibles, and when we say this it will at once be understood that
the performance of the manual exercise by the fair portion of
the dramatis personce was not the least interesting part of the
entertainment. The scene, as its title inports, is laid in
France at the time of its invasion by the troops of the Allied
Powers, and its plot turns upon the attachment of a boarding..
school young lady, Cecile (Miss Turpin), for a poor infantry
Lieutenant in the French service, Alfred de Lussau (Mr.
Pritchard), on whose account she organizes the boarding-
school misses into a formidable corps de reserve, or rather, per-
haps, we should say, sans reserve, of which she takes the com-
mand, and by her heroism avenges the cause of her lover, who
has been wounded in a skirmish with some straggling Cos-
sacks, whom she succeeds in repulsing, and for which service
she is advanced to the rank of Captain, but transfers that
honour to Alfred, by timely shifting her tri-coloured scarf, by
which she was distinguished, from her own to his shoulders.
This promotion removes the objection of her father, Canivet,
of the National Guard (Mr. Tilbury), to the match ; and,
consequently, the youthful lovers are made happy after the old
and legitimate laws of farce, so " made and provided," from
time immemorial. The several performers did the utmost for
their respective parts, more particularly the ladies, whose mili-
tary evolutions were adroitly executed. The piece was most
favourably received.

exigencies of the State, but to acquit the interest of the 40
millions already paid and squandered 1

ELOPEMENT.-00 Friday week a young lady, aged
17, named Chinery, who will in a few years become possessed
of very considerable property, eloped from her friends at Bury
St. Edmund's, in company with a person named Taneure, by
whom, as it now appears, she had been most infamously de-
ceived. Taneure was shopman to Mr. Sawden, a linendraper
in the Old Kent-road, and has friends at Bury St. Edmund's,
where he became acquainted with Miss Chinery, and for
three years past an amatory correspondence has been car-
ried on between them by letter, unknown to the young lady's
friends. Taneure had in the meantime been paying his
addresses to another, a very respectable young woman from
the county of Sussex, to whom he was married last January,
and he afterwards lived on apparently good terms with his
wile, with whom he obtained some little property. On
Wednesday last, however, he disappeared from his home, and
upon inquiry at his employer's, it was found that he had gone
out in the morning, and was to have returned in the evening.
it has been ascertained that, instead of doing so, he hired a
horse and chaise, and drove to the neighbourhood of Bury St.
Edmund's, where he was joined on the following day by Miss
Chinery, who believed her lover to be a single man. It was
ascertained that the fugitives met about three miles from
Bury, and started in a chaise towards London ; and Mr. Carey,
Superintendent of Police in that part of Suffolk, came up by
the mail in search of them. He applied to a friend, Mr.
Brindley, an Inspector in the Metropolitan Police, who as-
sisted him in his search, and they discovered the residence
of Mrs. Taneure, upon whom the intelligence of her husband's
treachery and infidelity had a very distressing effect. Ta-
neure himself was met with on Tuesday, and being threatened
with detention until he disclosed the residence of the
young lady whom he had so infamously seduced from her home,
he accompanied the Superintendent to a lodging in which he
had placed her, in the neighbourhood of the Kent-road. Miss
shtienciery, who immediately recognised the Superintendent of
Police, seemed agitated at the prospect of separation from her
lover, who renewed his protestations of ever-enduring affection.
She was startled, however, when mention was made of a de-
wife, and still more so, when Taneure had the heart-
lessness to assert, in the presence of the Police, that when she
