Tii:.:-Doxr or KEN7.—His MAJESTY having been gra-
ciously pleased, through the Commissioners. of NVoods., t'co-
rests, and Land Revenue, to give his Royal permission for the
erection of the Monumental Statue of his late Royal Highness
the Duke of litlyr in Park Crescent, at the top of Portland-
place, we understand that the Trustees and Committee of
Management have every hope of completing their labours by
the ensuing Anniveriary of the late Prinee's•Birth Day, the
2d of November next. The Statue in Bronze, by Galiagan;
is already entirely finished, and does high honour to the 1
Artist • and the Pedestal of Haytor Granite, the same as to
the Achilles in. Hyde:Park, is rapidly pro:nding with. As a
public commemoration of Royal benevolence, we believe the
present measure is perfectly unprecedented, and its compktion
will be equally honourable to the Illustrious Deceased who so
justly merited, and to his surviving friends, who have so nobly
reared this memorial of departed excellence. Amongst the
latest subscriptions paid to the Committee for the 31onuruentie,
a contribution of One Hundred GUineas from his Royal High.'
ness Prince Leopold.

ENGLISH OPERA If OUSE.—The horrific Drama,
entitled Presumption, which increases in attrac-
tion, was followed last nig-lit by a now Farce
called " r will have a -Vile."—The following is;
a brief sketch of the Plot:—
"Admiral Firedrake, full of wealth and honours, retires to
his estate with .the intention of taking to lamella partner for
the rest of his life. For this purpose he invites to his country
house four ladies, Mrs. Ogilby, and her niece Emily Rase-
bank, Mrs. Summerfield a young and handsome widow), and
Miss Hardy (his lively ward). He is undecided which of the
ladies to select, but is resolved to marry one of them. Whilst
' in this dilemma, his nephew, Captain Firedrake, arrives, to
spend a short time with the old gentleman. Soon afterwards,
Billy Badger, as the stupid son of the Admiral's attorney, drives
qp on a visit for the same purpose, and be is followed bv.a Mr.
O'Leary, who alights from the Bristol coach, in which he had
taken a seat through mistake. The Admiral begins by pro-
posing to Mrs. Summerfield; but she, it seems, is already
married to Mr. O'Leary, whose Bristol story was all a fabri.
cation. Disappointed in his first courtship, he is shout to pro.
pose to Miss Hardy, when he discovers that she is in love with
13fi1y Badger, who is no other than the dashing Henry Merton
in disguise. One chance is still left, and he flings himself a:
the feet of Emily Rosebank, who is over head and ears in love
with his nephew. Unhappy in all his proposals he at last
turns to Mrs. Ogilby, who is a widow of forty, and she receives
him with rapture, and thus ends the piece."
This amusing Farce adds to the stock of tll.
yelling novelties which this Theatre is in the

habit of producing. It is taken from the French,
but is so ingeniously anglicized, that it appears
to be a native of the English soil. The author,

we understand, is Mr. PLANCHE, to whom the

public have been indebted for other works of a
similar nature, as well as for poetical produc-
tions which manifest taste, feeling, and genius,--..
The piece of last night possesses intrinsic merit,
and that intrinsic merit is most admirably
brought forward by the Performers in general,
but particularly by BAUTLEY, PE tH.SIAN, Miss
L. DANCE, Miss POVEY, Miss CALM, and Mrs.
GROVE, as well us by Po WElt anti BA KF,II, that
it is likely to keep up a successful career

through the season. It comes particularly well
as a relief to the terrific qualities of Presump.
lion, which, however attacked by some of the
diurnal Critics, has been found, notwithstanding
its horrors,interesting to the audience in general.
"I will have a Wife" was last night completely
successful, and was so adroitly announced for
repetition by BARTLEY, at the end, that nothing
like a dissentient voice was heard, but on the
contrary,it was received with warm and uoanimous
approbation.
