THE THEATRES.

KING'S TuErrag.--The 'return of. Madame
RoNzI DE BEGMIS to this Theatre, on Saturday,
was evidently a gratifying
event to the audience,
who received her with the warmest applause.
The Opera was 11 Turco in Italia, and she re-
seined her part, Fiorillo, with her usual spirit.
Signor ItEMORINI perfOrmed the part of Selim.
He. possesses a powerful: bass voice, displays
science, and his deportment was easy and appro-
priate. lie was a great favourite abroad, and is
likely to become so here.—
DE 8EG7.:113, in Ge..
ronio, had all his accustomed skill, and the
Opera altogether was highly
applauded.
DitURT.LANE.-----The Play of Measure for
Measure was on Saturday brought forward at
this Theatre. It is a fine composition, but hardly
calculated to afford much gratification to a mixed
audience. The character of The Duke is well
adapted to the stately manner of MACREADY,
who sustained it with dignity. Mrs. Buisrs gave
a very interesting and affecting portrait of Isabel.
TERRY'S Angelo was judicious, and LisTox's
Lucio highly diverting. The indiposition of
HARLEY prevented his appearance in Pompey.
An apology was made, and MERCER was a -to-
lerable substitute.

Bayonne Papers to the 25th ult. and Brussels
to the c.2d instant, reached last night. The
former state that General BOURNONT had ac-
tually quitted Madrid on the 19th of April,
loaded with honours and presents by the Spanish
Monarch ; and that the attempt to organise
Royalist Volunteers in that capital had been
given up as inexecutable. The Brussels Papers
are quite barren. They only announce that the
States General of Holland were to open their
Sossion on the 6th inst. It is stated in an article
of the Bth from Naples, that a new loan, to the
amount of 150,000 ducats, had been taken by
Mr. ROTMCJII LD, but in the name of FALCOXET
and Co. It is for the service of Sicily, and to be
contracted for at the rate of 11 per cent. interest.

BRIOAHIER-GEXERAL Slit CHARLES MACAU-.
IrnY.—The loss of this worthy man seems to be
universally regretted. As a public charactPr he
was respected and beloved by all who knew
him. To use, Sir Joux DOYLE'S words when
speaking of him to a friend one day at the Co-
lonial Office, " Sir CrtAar.cs NIA CARTHY was
horn to do good ;" and Mr. Ilurrox, in his
Voyage to Africa, observes, " Both Great Bri-
fain and Africa are much indebted to Sir CUARLE3
MACARTH Y for the many excellent improvements
be has made iu the Colony (sierra Leone)." Be
was about 48 years of age, about six feet high,
rather corpulent, and bore a great resemblance
to his present Me,s IST T. He was knighted ou his
return from Africa is 1821, and appointed Go-
vernor-in-Chief of the British Settlements on the
Gold Coast—an appointment which has proved
Jo fatal to him.

By accounts just received by the Vibilia trans-
port, arrived at Portsmouth, we are happy to learn that all
was tranquil in the Leeward West India, islands, and that they
are all considered, with their respective Garrisons, as in a
healthy state. At Demerara, Mantel law had ceased since the
lit of January, Colonel Ilt.aexwEr.r. had been appointed Go-
vernor of St. Lucia. A French store-ship had arrived at Mar-
tinique, with mooring* for sin line:of-battle *hips, which were
to be laid down at the Sainte*:- but there were no French ships
of war on the station when the Vibilia sailed. The Ganges,
74, Captain Edward Brace, C.B. and the Superb, of 74 guns,
Captains Sir Tomas staincs, X.C.B. were lying at Barbadoes,
waiting for orders. The Athol had arrived with seamen for
them, trom the Antelope, at
troops were thus stationed auto_'lf/much', and sailed again. The

Extract bf a letter from Tunis, dated March
28 :—" This morning the Raabe, Bey of Tunis, breathed his
last at the Royal Palace. Ile is succeeded by his eldest son,
Sidi Haman Bey, without opposition, which has been an-
nounced by salvos of artillery front the castle and forts. His
brother, Sadi Mustafa Bey, is at present in the country, col-
lecting their revenue, which perhaps may be unfortunate for
Sidi Hassan, they not being very good friends."
We forgot to notice the performance of Signor
AAIIIROGETTI at Mr. HAWES'S Concert, which we
regret the more, because we understand that,
having raised a competency by his talents, he
unfortunately ventured deeply into the purchase
of Spanish Bonds, and has now to begin the
world again. We have, however, the pleasure
to state, that he appeared in excellent health,
that his talents and humour are as active as ever,
and that he fully deserved the very warm appro-
bation that attended Wm.

Madame VESTRIS retires from Drury.LanQ
Theatre after the present season. Mts. WAIMETT, of the Adel-
phi Theatre, is engaged by 3lr. Et.r.isr ow for three years, to

that Mr. JoNEs is about to pass from Covent-Garden Theatre
to Drury-Lane after the present season, with which his en-
gagement at the former Theatre terminates.—Mr. ARNOLD is
in treaty for (if he has not actually purchased) the Adelphi
Theatre.—( New Times.)
Miss WILSON is ;tow at Florence, p.rfecting
herself in the Italain language, and waiting the arrival of her
Master, Mr. T. Welsh, to make a turn of the principal Theatres
of Italy, after which she will return to this country with all the
additions which art could possibly make to her commanding
natural powers.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening last,
as Lord CuANsTouw was riding in Hyde Park on
a spirited horse, the animal took fright and ran
away with him. After running a considerable
distance, his Lordship was thrown, and unfor-
tunately fell upon his head, which was dreadfully
fractured. He was immediately taken up and
carried to St. George's Hospital (Hyde Park-
corner), whence he was subsequently removed
home, where, we lament to say, his Lordship ex-
pired last night.
