COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.- --MASSIN.
cEa's play of The Maid of Honour vas produced at
this theatre last night, when Miss KEMBLE appeared for
the first time in the part of the heroine, Camiola.
Miss KEMBLE played Canziola with great judgment,
and had formed a very happy conception of the author's
true meaning, to which she gave effect equal to any, and
superior to some of the parts in which she has lately ap-
peared. The hearty unaffected mirth in which she in-
dulged at the irresistible foolery of her suitor Sylli, (Mr.
KEELEY') her b:tter scorn of Fulgentio's (Mr. AaaoTT's)
suit, her reproof of Adorni. (Mr. G. BENNETT') her
spirited retnonstrance to the King (Mr. EGERTON') who
favours hie prettnsions, and the intensity of her passion for
Bertoldo, with its varying moods, were marked with great
discrimination. The last scene, in which she vindicates
her claim to Bertoldo, and which is the best in the whole
play, was very admirably performed. This, however, will
he better still for a mere profound study of the text, and
for giving without curtailment that speech in which she
reminds the King of what had been Bertoldo's lost con-
dition when she succoured and restored him. Nothing
but the perfection of barbarous awl bad taste could have
prompted any omission front this passage. Mr. C. KEMBLE
played Bertoldo with great ability. The part of Adorni
deserved a much better actor than Mr. G. BENNETT ;
and that of Syri, which ought to be a main help to the
action of the play, required powers which Mr. KEELEY,
amusing as he often is, has no notion of. The other parts
were creditably filled. -

It is remarkable that rape and abduction are
the only crimes of an atrocious character that have in-
creased in Ireland within the last seven years.—Dublin

THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND
LITERARY JOURNAL.—Since the 14 of December last this
popular Periodical has been published under a new and
highly active management, which has brought to its pages
the aid of several very distinguishe authors, in addition
to those whose contributions had already secured to this
Magazine a firm aid ptrApent old on the favour of the
public. Among other noveNfe nres now introduced is a
series of engraved portraits o iterary Living Characters,
accompanied respectively by critical and biographical no-
tices. The following portraits have already appeared.—
January, Sir WALTER Scorr, after the bust by CIIA N-
TREY ; February, Hon. Mrs. NORTON, Author of " The
Trindying One," &c. ; March, Author 4# " Paint Pry," after
a painting by PICKERSGILL ; April, M. CoorEtt, Author
of " The Spy," " The Pilot," &c. ; and on the Ist of May
will appear,—a portrait of E. L. BULWER, Esq. author of
" Pelham."

We understand that the attorney of Mr.
O'CONNELL received a notice, on Friday night, that it
was the intention of the Government to call that gentle-
man and his friends up for judgment. A very few hours
before that time Mr. HUNT was accusing the Hon. and
Learned Member, in the House of Commons, of having
entered into a compromise to avert the call! Here is at
length a fact that cannot be controverted against idle and
senseless conjecture, and we hope we shall hear no more
of the compromise. But is it wise, after_all, to revive
the battle about the proclamations ?—for, as there is an
appeal to a Court of Error, to which the parfes incul-
pated are determined to have recourse, it is still a battle.
Is the notice the act of the Crown-office, or of the Execu-
tive. It is difficult to believe it to be the former—hut
yet, without supposing that a downright futurity predo-
minates bete or in England on this unfortunate question,
how can we imagine it to be the latter ?—Dublin. Mors'
ing Register.
