PAVILION THEATRE.

On Monday night Elton made his first appearance this
season, in the character of Lear, and drew a crowded
house. It was a respectable rather than a happy effort ;
but the gods applauded most uproariously, and the tragedy
was announced for repetition on Thursday. The interlude
of the Tinker Lord introduced Mr. Oxberry for the first
time to an eastern audience, as Toby Kettleborough. He
kept the house in a roar, and the piece and the actor were
most favourably received. A nautical drama 'yclept Jack's
Delight finished the night. It abounds with a variety of
well-contrived incidents ; and for situation, plot, and dia-
logue, it ranks with the generality of pieces of the same
caste. Farrell sustained the hero, Jack Sprightly, with in-
finite spirit and whim. On Tuesday Elton assumed the
part of Othello, and sustained it throughout with great
force and feeling. Cobham's Ingo was a good portraiture
of the wily ancient ; and, with one or two exceptions, the
other parts were respectably performed.

Her Majesty's visit to Drury-lane, to witness Mac-
ready's Macbeth, attracted 600/. on Monday night.

The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to

Lord Caledon's tenantry in Armagh and Tyrone
presented an address to that Nobleman, with a silver salver,
value 200 guineas, at Caledon House, last week. The ad-

The Lieutenant-Governorship of Pendennis Castle,
vacant by the death of Colonel Loftus Gray, will not, it is

time of that officer.
