PERTHSHIRE ELECTION.

(From the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Saturday. )
The contest for this county has excited the keenest inte-
rest in this city. The arrivals of the coaches on Thursday
and last night, with accounts of the state of the poll, were
anxiously looked for, and were surrounded by crowds im-
patient to learn the result. According to the accounts re-
ceived by the Defiance coach, which left Perth at four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, the majority in favour of Sir
George Murray was 199, When this announcement was
made on the arrival of the coach last night, it was received
with the loudest acclamations by the great crowd assembled.
The following is the state of the poll on Thursday :
Sir George Murray. Mr. Graham.

THE DRAMA.

On Tuesday, the 6th inst., Miss Julia Dunbar, from
the Victoria 'Theatre, and several other singers of cele-
brity, sing for the benefit of Newton, the bass singer, at
the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand.
The music of The Bravo, the grand opera in active
preparation at Covent-garden, is by 11a7ani, and it is said
that in Italy it has been extraordinarily popular. The
new ballet on the story of Cinderella, which we announced
last week, is to be produced on Tuesday, with the title of
The Fairy Slipper. Albert and his son, who were at the
King's Theatre last season, dance in it, and it has been got
up under the direction of the former.
Recent accounts have been received regarding the
Kembles, the Woods, and Power, in the United States.
Charles Kemble and his daughter still maintained their
attraction, and the popularity of the latter was not les-
sened by the fact that she was soon to be married to a native
American. It is now asserted positively that C. Kemble
will be in England by the close of June, but this has been
so often contradicted that we hardly know what to believe.
We hope it may be so, and that he will play at Covent-
garden in the ensuing season.
The production of La Somnanibula, in order that Giu-
lietta Orisi may sustain the part of Amino, is contemplated

at the King's Theatre, and we believe that it has been
already put in rehearsal. Amino, as our readers are
aware, was a very favourite part of Madame Malibra.n, and
it will bring Grisi into more immediate comparison with
that accomplished but capricious singer. On Tuesday. we
are to have a new ballet, called Armide, the reputed com-
position of Teresa Eisler, who is said to possess inventive
talent in her department. It is founded upon Tasso, as
far as relates to the story of Rinaldo and Armida.
The receipts at Drury-lane, when the King and Queen
were there on Thursday week, did not exceed 500/. ; at
Covent-garden, on Thursday last, when that house was
similarly visited, not less than 570/. were taken at the doors.
We mentioned last week a variety of arrangements en-
tered into or contemplated by Mr. Morris, for opening the
Haymarket Theatre on the 19th inst. We understand that
he perseveres in his determination. If he finds the expe-
riment not to answer, he can close the theatre again; but
still this will be hardly worth while, as his season has gene-
rally commenced on the 15th of June. In addition to the
performers before enumerated, he has obtained the services
of Mrs. Nesbitt, formerly acting under the name of Mor-
daunt, but whose real name was Macnamara. She is a
lady whose beauty and style of acting are extremely
well adapted to the Haymarket. She has been recently
performing at Taunton.
Keeley has just started for Edinburgh, where he is to
perform a certain number of nights, and return by way of
Newcastle and Liverpool, so as to be in town a week before
the expected opening of the English Opera-house. Peake
has written a piece in which both Keeley and John Reeve
are to perform ; and a solemn promise has been given by
both to avoid all petty and professional jealousies, for the
sake of securing prosperity to the establishment in which
they are engaged. Keeley has very recently been playing
at Derby with great applause, and to excellent houses.
