Performers from the Italian Opera attended, and to shew that
Mr. Barnes was determined that no sources of interest should
be withheld from his friends, they had the gratification of hear-
ing that Juvenile prodigee, Master George Aspull, perform
various pieces on the Pianoforte, to the delight and astonish-
ment of the whole party, a greater instance of approbation
could not be given than the warm embrace which the lovely
Signor De Begnis gave this wonder of musical talent and com-
bination upon the conclusion of his performance. At the con-
clusion Of this Musical Feast, the party of 120 partook of a
splendid Supper, provided by Gunter, consisting of every deli-

was kept up till five in the morning, and finished with two
Scotch Keels most admirably executed by a party free north

nal number) sat down to an elegant and comfortable breakfast,
which concluded this happy little party.

ENGLISH FESTIVITIES AT GENOA.
GENOA, 3AN. 16.—This place has been the scene of tin-
English visitors. Upwards of twenty distinguished families
gaiety this winter owing to the increasing number of
have
amade
Genoa their residence since the month of Sep.
tember, and we are every day witnessing fresh arrivals. The
Countess of Westmoreland and suite arrived last night at the
Ho el de Londres and early this morning her Ladyship, accom-
panied by Mr. Charles Barry and Mr. J. Lavers, proceeded
to Albaro, one of our most beautiful suburbs, to inspect
the Villa lately occupied by Lord Byron. Her Ladyship was
so much delighted with its appearance, that she immediately
engaged it for three months, to the great delight of all her coun-
trymen here, who have already benefited by her generous and
liberal disposition.—The Consul, James Stirling, Esq. opened
the festivities of the season by a splendid ball on the Ist of
January, which Ras attended by b
was o tined b the Honourable
Y no less than 400 persons of
rank
Captain Edward Augustus Franklandp, R.N., the nephew of
y
Lord Colville, and Miss Fielding, daughter of Lady Elizabeth
Fielding, and niece of the Marchioness of Lansdown • next
, followed the Marquis de Boyle, Aide-de-Camp to the 'King,
and the Countess Durazzo, who vies in beauty with the most •
arnyd,
eminent of our British Belles. Nothing could exceed the
polite attentions of our Consul and his Lady to their nu-
merous guests, who did not leave the Palazzo Spincla till
a very late hour. Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, Baronet, of
Charlton, in Kent, has since given a brilliant fete, to
not only the English, but the Genoese Nobility were
Mrs. °met, Mrs. Paoli, Mr. Saunders, and Mr. .I'Jr::4lt+.l,
have also given very handsome entertainments, in whicll
tion of Rossini's and Mercadante's music mare tart of the
amusement of the evening. The news brought ves''..,.•• !sy.
by express, of the death of Victor Emmannl, brs;!..-.er cc
King, and formerly himself Ring of Sardinia, will
to our gaieties for sonic time. The Got'uncs-, 4 ','7?!"-.?
d'Yennes, has ordered all the Theatres to be
requested the English visitors, in t'3 ias~lnaunr,
no more invitations for bails till the p7.easure of GTlit is
known as to the duration of the 'mourning. Mc Cc:nsul and
the chief British residents left their cares this morning at the
Governor's as n mark of respect. He is very popular here, and
allows us privileges of which no other foreign nation can boast.'

ATIIENEUM ASSEXIIILIEL-Last night the Con-
cert-room at the King's Theatre, was opened for
the first of a series of French entertainments,
which are to consist of small dramatic pieces.—
' The room has been well fitted up for this pur-
pose, but the narrowness and scope of the boxes
renders them inconvenient; and we hope that
some means will be found to remedy the
only defect we could discover. In every
other respect great credit is due to the
Gentlemen through whose indefatigable ex-
ertions this establishment has been opened.__
The performers were respectable hi their re-
spective lines. The songs were mostly beautiful,
and well executed, and a select orchestra, acting
under the direction of SPAGNOLETTI and BoonsA,
added to the treat which the whole performance
afforded to the lover of the French Drama. "Upon
the whole, we were highly pleased with our
evenings entertainment.

A new drama, entitled The.fier,:fiird Tragedy,
was brought forward on Monday last at the
Exeter Theatre. The house was crowded at an
early hour, and some disapprobation was ex-
pressed at the beginning of the piece, but on the
Manager's having assured the audience that it
was not that which was thought to have preju-
diced the late trial, and was intended only to
warn youth against the vice of gaming, which
commences in avarice and ends in crime, and was
found in its progress to be moral in tendency,
and that " the argument had no offence in it,"
it was suffered to proceed, and was throughout
received with full approbation.—An accident
occurred which was likely to be attended with
danger, but no injurious consequence resulted.
The person who drove the memorable gig pulled
the wrong rein, and backed it into the pit. The
auditors who were near scaled their way to the
stage and the boxes in due time, and the alarm
soon subsided.

Mrs. BARTLEy has been allowed by the Co-
vent-Garden Managers to perform a few nights
at Exeter, where she is to appear on Monday in
the part of Isabella.

POETRY.

TO LADY JANE COVENTRY,

One of the accomplished Daughters of the Earl of COVENTRY,

BY THE LATE DR. WOLCOT.
Sweet Maid, with all the Graces blest,
Of all the charms of mind possest,
Your hand most humbly will I thank,
For ordering, at some vacant hour,
Your pen and ink to use their pow'r,
To write the Beggar Bard a frank.

Now, Lady JANE, 1 hear you cry
" Yes, to be sure—l wont deny;
" Why for a frank make much ado?"
Unwilling ever to offend,
My poor petition let me mend,
And ask your Ladyship for two.

THE COMET.

At the Meeting of the Royal Irish Academy,
Jan. 26, Dr. BRINKLEY communicated the Elements of the
Orbit of the Comet, from observations made at the Obse:vatory
of Trinity College, Dublin.
Perihelion distance, 0,2640, the Earth's mean feom
the Sun being Unity.
Time of passage through Perihelion.
December &h-13h. 7m. 48s. mean time at Obser,-;itoi-7,

75d. 47m. 30s.
Ascending node, 302 d. 51m. 40s.
Perihelion, 269 30m. 30s.
.

Aloti.m, retrograde.
It dues not appear that this comet has been recorded to have
been Wiserve.i before. The comet of 1677 nearly agrees as to
its perheliou distance, and the inclination of its orbit, but not
as to its other eloments. At this time (January 26) the comet
is distant from us about tbrty-five millions of miles, and
is now somewhat nearer than it has yet been, but on ac-
count of its greater distance from the Sun its light has become
much weakened. Its. distance from the Earth will now in-
crease, and its distance from the Sun continuing to increase,
both circumstances will soon render the Comet difficult to he
seen.—(Dublin Correspondent, Jan. 27.)

The vacancy in the Representation for the
County of Louth, caused by the Right Hon. 'l'.
H. SKEIFFINGTON'S promotion to the Peerage, is
likely to be filled by JOHN LESLIE FOSTER, Esq.
nephew to Lord ORIEL.
