It is said that the Fancy Fair, on Monday
next, 13th May, and following days, for the Charing cross
Hospital, will, for elegance of arrangement and grandenr
of effect, far surpass anything of the kind ever undertaken
in this metropolis. Mr. HARRHON, the well-kreawn ar-

provides the music.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—On Monday and
last night the German Company performed for the first time
at this Theatre, and Berrtrovere's magnificent Opera of
Fl-
delio was produced on the occasion. Madame ScHROEDER
DEVRIENT personated the heroine with the same unrivalled
excellence which has gained her the fame she possesses an
the Continent, and produced the extraordinary sensa'iors
on an English audience which followed her exertions at
the King's Theatre last season. She was received with
every demonstration of approbation, and the applause
seemed to increase as, during the progress of the Opera:,
her talents became more fully developed. To attempt to
enter into any thing like a critical analysis of her pe'.
formance would be idle; her excellencies must he seen to
be properly appreciated ; and although the words which
she utters may not be familiar to her audience, her action
and voice express a language which all who see and hear
her must both feel and understand. She sang through sue
with remarkable effect, and her acting in the prison scene
was as fine as can be imagined. When the curtain fell,
she was loudly called for, and, after having been led in
front by the manager, acknowledged the flattering recepe
tion she had met with by bowing repeatedly to the
audience. HAITEINSIER played the part of Florestan
with the same natural beauty which marked his previous
performances in this country, and his singing displayed
merits of a similar nature ; but it is impossible to parti-
cularize where all were excellent, even to the most sub-
ordinate characters in the Opera. The ehotuses were
mast admirably sung, and the band displayed a perfection
worthy of so complete an orchestra. The overture was
encored. The house was fashionably attended.
A sale by auction of goods taken in distreQs
for assessed taxes was announced to take place at tl
Aston Tavern, Birmingham, on Friday morning. From
40 to 50 persons attended, including some brokers, but
no buyer could be found except the poor woman from
whose husband the goods had b:en seized and the able-
tioneer himself. A man came when the sale was nearly
over, who was perfectly ignorant of thecircutnstanees under
which it took place, and bid for one of the last lots. .

that he had better desist, which he accordingly ei After
