IMPROMPTU,
ON A LATE FRACAS AT COVENt-GARDEN TREATRE.

A Comic ACTOR of renown,
To mend a SINGER, knock'd him downi
And 'twas a ready way, we own,
To teach his voice a lower tone.

Music.—The Dutchess of DEVONSHIRE, with
condescending liberality, gave the use of her noble
Mansion in Piccadilly, last night, to Mr. FERRA-
RI, for a grand Subscription Concert. The Concert
was to have commenced at nine o'clock, but was de-
layed about half an hour, in the hope that the Dutchess
would herself have been able to attend it. But on
account of her Daughter, Lady MORPETH, having
last night brought her a grand-daughter, the mater.
nal anxiety of her Grace naturally put aside all
ideas of amusement. Tickets were issued for six
hundred persons, bur, owing to the inexperience of
the Servants, up,a ands of eight hundred obtained
admission, as several parties contrived to intror'uce
persons for whom they were not provided with
,tickets. No improper company, however, found
admission, but the room was graced with some of
tht most distinguished charatters in the higher
circles.—Yet in consequence of this unexpeaed in-
flux of visitors, the place was oppressively warm.
The Concert was exquisite. WEICHSELL was the
Leader, and the Band was well supplied. FERRARI
sat at the Piano.forte, but did not sing himself ; for
though he is an admirable teacher, his voice has not
strength enough fot the Puolic. The vocal Per.
formers were Mrs. BlLLlswium, Kott sot.s.o, Vt.
GANONI, Signora BOLLA, Madame Dusssx,
Signora Roy EDINO. AsHE distinguished
highly in a Flute Concerto. Miss GAtratEaoT
displayed great musical skill on the Pi..no.torte.
The instrumental music was selefted from HAYDN ;
the vocal chiefly from SACCHINI, WINTER, and
FERRARI. Mrs. BILLINCTON, in a Scena, Can-
zonetta, and Mater:, composed by the latter,
displayed finished taste and wonderful execution.
In the last piece she was delightfully accompanied
by her brother on the violin. The rooms were
literally crowded with beauty and fashion, and the
Concert went off in the best manner.—The com-
pany were supplied with a profusion of refresh-
ments of all kinds, which were handed about by
the servants of the house, with the utmost attention
and courtesy. So grand and brilliant an assembly
in all respells lias not perhaps been seen for a long
time ; and it is very much to the credit of Mr.
FERRARI'S personal worth, as well as professional
merit, that a scene of much elegance should have
been so kindly opened to the public for his private
advantage. •

Mrs. C.ii.o7 ER had a prolate Benefit last night at
Covent-Garden Theatre. The Tragedy of The
Stranger was represented on this occasion. The
Ilaratter of the Stran;er is peculiarly well calcu.,
lated for the talents Ot KEI:IBLE, who represented
its languor, dejeClion, and apparent misanthropy,
in a very affecting and impressive manner. Mrs.
SIDDONS was equally interesting in Mrs. Haller.
The House was very well attended ; but we are
surprized that such an agreeable At-tress as Mrs.
GLOVER did not venture to announce her name on
this occasion, as she might reasonably have looked
for a liberal share of public patronage.
Mr. BANNISTER, it is said, means to resign the
management of Drury-lane Theatre next season.
As he is one of the chief props of the house in his
ailing capacity, he must indeed, in that respetl,
have work enough on his hands.

The DUKE of CAMBRIDGE is one of the first
Amateur Singers, and his Royal Highness, with
great affAbility, exerts his powers for the gratifica-
tion of private circles, without ever resorting, like
private singers in general, to the coy excuse of a
cold.

It has been observed, that though our young No-
bility are not very much inclined to devotion, they
arc at present all ready enough to worship a Face.
The Altar-piece for the new Chapel at Kew, is
to be painted by TR ESFT ANI, by the express desire of
H s MAS esTY. The subjea is to- be The Ascension,
and it will doubtless be properly treated by the
classical pencil of this Artist.
