TUE THEATRE.—The temporary difference
between Miss PATON and Miss M. TREE, .re-
specting the parts of the countess and Susanna,
in The Marriage of Figaro, at Covent-Garden.
Theatre, having been harmoniously settled, they
are now to perform those characters alternately.
Miss Tam: therefore, last night, elevated her-
self into the rank of Countess, and Miss PA'rox
descended to the humility of servitude. They
boat perform so well that neither ought 'to
repine at this alternation, as they both have
an opportunity of shelving the versatility of
their talents. They were both received with
very great applause. JONES'S Count,PEAßmAN's
Figaro, and particularly' FAWCETT'S Drunken
Gardener were all highly entertaining, anti the
opera went off with great spirit. PEARMAN made
an apology for Mies PATON on account of her cold,
but the excellence of her singing seemed to
render it unnecessary. The new Farce of The
Duel may be said to be a good hit for the theatre,
and strikes home to the risible muscles.

Oporto is now open to the admission of foreign
grain ; about 1600 tons had arrived, but such is
the extent of the wants of the country that it
produced little or no impression on the markets.
It is expected that Lisbon will also be opened.
Barcelona, we have reason to believe, is likewise
open. There is no doubt but that scarcity exists
in all the provinces of Spain and Portugal, so
that our warehouses will soon be relieved of
bonded grain.—(Liverpool .Advertiser.)
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.--.A.. female who two
years ago lived in some style with a Baronet, at.
tempted suicide on Wednesday afternoon. She
was observed wandering about the banks of the
Canal on the verge of the Regent's park, and at
length she plunged into the water. Two boat-
men, who witnessed the rash act, extricated her
from her perilous situation, when animation was
nearly suspended. She was taken to the Harp.
house, and brought round. Distress was the oc.
casion of the rash attempt. She had lived souse
weeks in one of the huts at Paddington, in pc.
Bury and want.
