BRIGHTON.—Iiis MAJESTY had a Musical
party at the Pavilion on. Saturday evening last,
and it must he gratifying to the public to know
that the Selection was .entirely English, consist-
ing of the most beautiful glees, by, various Au-
thors, interspersed with songs and choruses from
the Divine Oratorios of Handel.—About 60 of the
Nobility were present. His MAJESTY was it ex-
cellent health and spirits. The Performers
were, Master Gear, Master Jones, Mr. Hawes',
Mr. Vaughan, and 3. B. Sale. Mr. Attwood pre-
sided at the Grand Piano IForte.--p-On Sunday
his MAJESTY attended Divine Service in the
Chapel Royal, when an excellent Sermon was
preached by the Rev. Dr. Pearson ' • the Prayers
were read by the Very Reverend the Dean of
Hereford, assisted by the Reverend W. Holmes,
Sub-Dean of the Chapels Royal. The music
was a " Dcum," by Dr. Aldrich—with—
Hear my prayer, by Kent, sung by the Gentle-
men who had the honour of performing before his
Majesty the previous evening.

THE THEATRE.—The Tragedy of King Lear
introduced Miss EDMISTONE last night at Drury-
Lane Theatre, in the part of Cordelia, in which
she Certainly appeared to greater advantage than
she did in Jane Shore and Lady Macbeth. In
the former •she did not sufficiently exhibit the
patient suffering and meek submission of the
persecuted heroine; and in the other . she
did not adequately supply the vehemence and
energy of the ruthless Scottish Queen.—ln Cor-
della she was tender, spirited, and affecting.
Mr. KEAN's Lear was not successful when he
performed the part before, and though it was im-
proved last night, it was by no means equal to
the dignified standard of the injured, choleric
Monarch. . COOPER gave the assumed madness,
the filial affection, and the gallant spirit of Edgar,
with Critical truth and feeling, and POPE %veil
hit off the resolute bluntnesir.Of old Kent. The
play was on the whole .very well received.

CHARLES KNY VETT, Esn.--This Gentleman,
after a lingering illness, which he bore with
manly fortitude, closed his respectable life, in
the 70th year of his age, oui Saturday last, at
his house .in Blandferd-Place,. Pall Mall. He
was long known and highly respected in the
Musical World. His. professional talents pro-
cured him the patronage of our late vene-
rable Monarch at an early period, and that
patronage was graciously extended .to him by
his present MAJgsTy. Mr. .I{.2vrvErr had three
sons, one of whom is now on the- Staff of the
British army ; he educated ' the other two
,for the musical profession, and the distinction
which they have attained, as Performers and
Composers, with the respectability of their private
-characters, manifest the excellence of parental
instruction, moral and scientilic.—The . com-
panionable qualities, good sense, knowledge of
the world, propriety of conduct, and ardent
loyalty of the late Mr. KNYYETT, render-
ed him an acceptable guest to many of our
highest Nobility 'during the musical vacations,
particularly to all the Directori of the Ancient
Concerts; and it may be truly affirmed; that his
merits, personal and professional, will long be re-
meinbeted,auetesteemed by.all who had the plea-
sure of being acquainted with him.
