THE THEATRES.

CovENT.GARDEN.—Last night took place the
farewell benefit of Miss BEAUMONT, an actress
whose person and talents rendered her one of the
favourites of the public, and whose private
worth is held in high esteem by numerous friends.
She possessed a musical taste and a good voice,
and both were manifest in her manner of singing

'weet Rome, in Clare, on the same night after
Miss Tam The dramatic pieces on this occa-
sion were The Comedy of Errors, The Irish
Widow, and Ella Rosenberg. In the first
piece- Miss BEAUMONT performed the part
of Luctuna with her usual unaffected simplicity.
A great variety of airs were introduced and much
applauded. In the second piece a Mrs. MILLE►t
appeared for the second time in the IVidow Brady
with so much success as to deserve a permanent
connexion with the Theatre. In the last piece
Miss LACY, now one of the mo►t judicious and
impressive actresses on the London Boards, reu-
dered Ella Rosenberg deeply affecting. We
have only to add, we doubt not that Miss BEAU-
MONT, iu the new engagement which she is about
to form, will act the part of a Wife with all the
requisite qualities, and ensure through life the
full benefit of connubial felicity.
lIAYMARICET.—The" interesting little Opera of
Rostua again brought forward the young lady
who had personated the character ou Saturday.
She has a powerful voice, and possesses musical
knowledge, but is too much In the decorative
style of the day. We are surprised to see the
manner in which Rosina is usually dressed on the
Stage". A Gleaner in the Field appears in silks,
and with every appearance of f►►shionable attire.
Nothing can be more absurd, yet nothing is more
common. It would be well with poor Dorcas
if she could afford so much finery to her proteg;4.
The second Piece was Sweethearts and Wives, in
which an apology was made for the appearance

of Mrs.l'. Him, in the part of Eugenia, ou ac-
count of the indisposition of Miss CtIeSTKII. The
last Piece was Two Strings to your Row, ren-
dered highly amusing by lAsToN's Lazarillo. A
good house.

ENGLISH OPILUA liousE.—At this Theatre, ono

of our best Comic Operas, Love in a Village, had
last night a powerful support of musical talents.--
BRAIIIM was 11m thorn, PIIILIAPS Young Mea-
dows, and Miss HARTZT Rosetta. It had also
the support of good acting in BARLEY'S Justice
Woodcock, RAYSIBIL'S Hodge, and th© admirable
Madge of Miss KRI,LT. Au Opera so amusing
in itself, aad so well supported by the Per-
formers iu general, will probably be very atttac-
tive.

Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet
Council assembled at the Foreign. Office, Down-
ing-street. Among the Ministers present wore,
the Loan CNA/ICI:LA.OR, the Earls of Liverpool,
Westmorland, and Bathurst ; Mr. Secretary
Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, Viscounts Melville and Siclmoutli,
Lord Bexley, and Mr. Wynn. The Cabinet did
not break up till a quarter past five o'clock.
Prince LroeoLn left Marlborough House yes-
terday morning, soon after eleven o'clock, for
Claremont.

The last arrivals from Bucki►►ghamshire state
bat Mr. WiLusuros.cu is better.

The Marquis of LaNsuowsr has subscribed
501. for the relief of the poor of Kilittegad,couuty
Dublin.

We have received Colombia Garottes to the Ott'
of May, and though the most important articles of
intelligence which they bring have been anti-
cipated by private letters, we find them not
without interest. They contain the daily pro-
ceedings of the Legislative Bodies, the Chamber
of Representatives,—and the Senate, at no great
length,it is true,but still with distiuctness,aud par-
ticularly sufficient to convey to the body of the
people a proper idea of what the rulers are doing.
A petition had been presented on the 23d April
by an Englishman, praying for the exclusive pri-
vilege of establishing steam-boats ou the lake of
Maracaibo. The fate of this application is not stated.
It would appear from a statement published in
the paper of the 2d of May, that the Senators
and Representatives cost Colombia from the ed
February to the final establishment of their re-
spective Chambers, only 11,8G8 dollars, or a sum
not so large as many of our single sinecures.
We copy the following from the Ifrostein Lu-
minary of the 11th :
" The Duke of Marlborough packet, which arrived yester-
day afternoon at Falmouth, to nine days from Lisbon, brings
an account that it had been arranged that the Queen's desti-
nation should be Parma ; but this she had refused to comply
with, because she had not been tried : this, however, it is sup-
posed, will avail her little. The packet left at Lisbon his Al tt-
jesty's ships the Windsor Castle, Genoa, Lively, and Print.
rose, with the French sloop of war the Lynx."
The Rev. Mr. A tirm, the Chaplain of the
Colony of Demerara, appears to have been really
suspended by the Governor. The following is
an extract of a letter, received yesterday morn-

iug :---
" DEmEn.AnA, JUNE 4,11.1•24.—0 e the Petition of the In-
habitants, the Clovernor Was pleased to forbid the llev. Mr.
Austin doing any duty as a Clergyman. Mr. Lugar, Lately
arrived, has been otliebating."

VIOLENT STonm.— Yesterday several very
heavy storms visited the north-west of Loudon.
About one o'clock in the -afternoon, Enfield,
Waltham Cross,Cheshunt, and their vicinity, felt
the severest. It was accompanied with lightning,
thunder, and torrents of hail. The devastation
occasioned by the latter was very great, some of
the stones being th© dimensions of a pigeon's egg.
he grounds of 11. Meux, Esq. of Theobald's,
suffered considerably ; nearly 100 panes of glass
were destroyed. Two ducks were killed by the
lightning, and a sawyer was knocked down by the
electric fluid having entered his hand, which it
severely lacerated, and then passed off through
the saw into the earth, without doing further
mischief. Several panes of glass were broken at
the Great Bull's Cross.—ln the evening the me-
tropolis was visited by a severe storm, accompa-
nied by terrific and continual flashes of lightning,
and tremendous peals of thunder, which lasted
nearly two hours, and we fear must have occa-
sioned considerable damage.
On Tuesday the village of Cold Ashton was visited by a ter.
rific storm of thunder, rain, and hail, which lasted upwards of
a quarter of an hour. Great damage was done by it to the hay
and young wheat in the neighbourhood...4.MM Journal.)
