ENGLISH OPERA.-After the new dramatic
sketch of The Actress of All-Turk, on Saturday,
in which Miss CLARA FISHER displayed her very
extraordinary talents before a very numerous au-
dience, and received well-merited applause, the
interesting piece of Love's Dream followed, and
was well supported by WRENCH, GROVE, WIL.
KINSOIV, and Miss KELLY. The acting of the
last was equal, considering the extent of the
character, to any thing we have seen, and was
very affecting. The Spoiled Child. again brought
forth the little prodigy Miss FISHER.

ADELPIII THEATRE.—Mr. ALEXANDRE, who
has excited so much well merited applause by
his extraordinary talents as a. Ventriloquist,
closed his amusing, and we may add surprising, en-
tertainment, on Saturday last, before a very nu-
merous and elegant audience, who testified their
warm approbation of the following speech which
he delivered on the occasion :
"LADIts AND GENTLEMEN—As this evening terminates
for a short period my efforts to promote your amusement, I
would fain express to you, however imperfectly, the grateful feel-
ings which your kind and generoui patronage inspired. I have
often had occasion to lament my deficiency in the English lan-
guage, when striving to please you ; but how much more cause
have I to lament it at the present moment, when my heart is
swelling with emotions towards you, my kind and generous be-
nefactors, which; indeed, I cannot find words to express.
Imagine all that the most ardent gratitude would say, and you
will then do justice to my imperfect utterance of my own feel-
ings.—England has been justly styled the stranger's lkone ; I
have found it so; I have found it too the liberal patron of a
stranger's talent. The recollection of your past kindness will
stimulate me to merit it in future, by every exertion of my
abilities I can possibly make; and now, Ladies and Gentlemen,
with sincere wishes for your health and happiness, I most re-
spectfully bid you farewell for the present season."
The Rev. Samuel Lambert Noble, B.A. late of Queen's Co-
llege, Cambridge, has been instituted by the Honourable and
Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, to the Rectory of.
Frowlesworth, in the county of Leicestershire.
VAUXHALL.--The following distinguished Fa-
shionables visited this elegant place of resort in
the course of last week:—

Lord Stanhope, Lord and Lady Darnley, Prince Ester..
hazy, Earl Sefton, Lord Fife, Marquis Graham, Earl and
Countess of Blesington, Lord Henley and family, Lady Francis,
Lord Petre, Lady Owen, Lady Darton, Lady Paxton, Lady
SMith, Lady Burgess, Lady Otway, Sir James Drummond,
Lord Ailesbury, Hon. C. W. Wynn, Lady Frederick Stan-
hope, Lady Louisa Call, Lord Hill, Lady Peters, Lord
Vaughan, the Ladies Paget, &c.

CIIE:LTENIIAM, JULY 19. Our Theatre is
well attended, to the credit of the visitors, for we
have really a more than usually respectable dra-
matic corps. On Tuesday last Venice Preserved
was represented in a manner that. would have
justly excited the applause of a London audience.
ABBOTT was excellent in .Iqlfier, and CONNOR,
who has not sufficient scope for his talents in
London, was a spirited Pierre. Pow ELL, a re-
spectable actor, gave full weight to Renault, and
Mrs. BARNES acquitted herself very well in Bel-
videra.—The Beggar's Opera too has been per-
formed with success. HUNT was so good a
Macheath that we wonder he is not more encou-
raged on the London boards. Miss FORDE, who
has brought a high musical reputation from Lon-
don, has fully supported it here by her perform-
ance of Polly. She was encored in " Cease your
funning," and in the duet with Lucy, which was
very well sustained by Airs. WouLns. But the
Hibernian Syren, Miss FottnE, is a very spirited
and intelligent actress, as well as a good singer,
and is a great favourite. Mrs. IlAttr.owE, as
might be expected, gave Mrs. Peachum with due
spirit. CONNOR, who is admirable in Irishmen,
was highly humorous as Dr. O'Toole, in a whim-
sical sketch,called New Lights,or The Irish Tutor.
On Tuesday Cambridge-house, the town resi
dence of her late MAJESTY, was sold at Garraway's, by order
of her Majesty's executors. It is held by lease ibr 98 years,
from Lady-day, 1741 ; of course, there are rather less than
17 years of the lease unexpired. It was stated that Lord
Grosvenor, who is the ground landlord, was renewing the
leases of houses:in the neighbourhood for 63 years, on reason-
able terms, and would probably renew the lease of Cambridge-
House on the same ; but no undertaking on the subject was
given, nor v:ere Lord Grosvenor's terms of renewal men-
tioned. It was also stated by the auctioneer that, a few
years since, 12,0001. had been refused for the lease : the
highest sum his utmost exertions was able to obtain on
Tuesday was 5,850 guineas. The name of the person on whose
account the purchase was made did not transpire in the room ;
but there appeared to be no doubt that a bouu fide sale of the
property was made.
FATAL EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE DRINKING.—
Two young men, in the parish of Kilmorack, Inverness-shire,
having gone on Sunday week to a sequestrated place, where
they had concealed smuggled whisky, drank of it to such excess,
that they were unable to move from the spot ; and when found,
one of them was dead ; the other, who was in a state of insen-
sibility, is recovering slowly, but his feelings cannot be very
enviable, when he contemplates the horrible fate of his com-
panion. A similar case occurred in the parish of Dyke, on Sun-
day week. Two young men had been "on the ramble ;" one
of them being overcome by the quantity of spirits he had taken,
lay down in a corn-yard, where his comrade left him, and he
was found dead by the people returning from church in the
afternoon.—( Edinburgh Courant, July 18.)
