THE LATE MIS. JORDAN.—Several articles,
proceeding from ignorance or malignity,
have ap-
peared in the daily prints, tending to make the
public believe that this excellent actress was
" deserted at her utmost need." All these re-
ports are wholly without foundation ; but as they
appeared to reflect on the character of her former
high protector, Mr. BARTON, the private Secre-
tary of the distinguished personage alluded to,
and who was the agent in all the pecuniary ar-
rangements relative to the departed actress,
has deemed it necessary to come forward
in vindication of his Royal Patron. -- We
regret that we have not room for the
statement this day, as it proves that the great
Personage in question, far from neglecting, con-
ducted himself with all possible kindness and
generosity towards the deceased, who was un-
fortunately obliged to leave this country, in con-
sequence of having implicitly trusted, and signed
blank hills in favour of a person who had mar-
ried into her family, whose embassments she
pitied, and on whose duty, integrity and grati-
tude, she thought she might confidently rely.—
Mr. Barton is a gentlemen of great talents, as
well as of most respectable character, and we
shall present his statement to our readers on Mon-
day next, from respect to truth, as well as in
justice to the high character who has been so
wantonly aspersed by anonymous malevolence.

Mr. Secretary CANNING will entertain a dis-
tinguished party at dinner to-morrow, at Glou-
cester-Lodge.

Viscount-Gamir.LE, we are sorry to hear, is
confined with a fit of the gout.
Mr. HYLTON JO.LIFFE, before he returned
from Petersfield on Tuesday last, left several no-
tices to be served on his tenants, to quit the
houses and small pieces of land they held under
him in that borough : some of these individuals
had not interfered in the proceedings of either of the
parties in the town, whilst the others were per-
sons of acknowledged respectability, who had
refused to lend themselves to the countenance of
the political abuses which had so long prevailed
there, and had shewn a laudable and proper
feeling in resisting them, and in causing an in-
quiry to be made into the abuses and mismanage-
ment of Churcher's College.
KING'S THEATILE.--A. grand rehearsal of the
new Opera of Zelmira took place at this theatre
yesterday, with all the performers, a full band,
and the whole of the scenery and splendid pro-
perties : it commenced at twelve, and was not
over till past four. Madame CoLuctost ROSSINI,
who plays Zelmira, is new to an English au-
dience. In person she may be safely pronounced
a fine commanding figure. Her voice and style
assimilate nearer to that of Madame Fono a than
any female singer we recollect upon the Italian
stage. Her execution is very great, and
her articulation distinct.—lt would not be
fair to go generally into the merits of the
opera from a rehearsal ; but the Trio Agilato
between this lady, CualoNi, and GARCIA,
in the second act, struck us as being parti-
cularly impassioned and impressive. The Finale
strongly reminded us of the one in Donna del
Lugo; the solo parts allotted to Madame Cot,-
IRON ROSSINI, had a most imposing effect. As
far as we could judge, the combinations of
scenery and stage incident will form a most
splendid spectacle. The processions are nume-
rous and very effective. ROSSINI conducted the
Opera in person, and gave great delight to the
performers, by the distinguished union of great
judgment with the most gentlemanly urbanity of
deportment ; he will preside at the piano for the
first three nights. The whole character of the
music struck us.as being more unique than any of
his former compositions.
