Yesterday, between one and two, and between
three and four, there was a good deal of thtlnder and
lightning, accompanied with hail. The thunder
was very loud, and the liihtning. very vivid." Those
who, deceived by the gleams of April sunshire, had
walked out to Kensington Gardens, repented their
excursion.

The speech delivered by Captain MACNAMARA%
on his trial, h understood to have been written by
Mr. ERSKINE. It is a well.construned defence,
and expressed with becoming delicacy and gentle..
manly spirit.

Mr. CHRISTI e, who has been some time seriously
indisposed, and has been trying the efficacy of the
Country, is, we are glad to learn, much better..

Female lo d; illessith the representation of tia-
filthy evening, was honoured by a very 1111zIlerou$
and brilliant audience. Mrs. ilitAtNorot:i anti
VIGANONI seem buth-perfedly recovered, t_nd in
high voice. Her Policca at the end of the Opera,
is pretty, but if we may venture an opinion, lvi*re
there is so-much excellence, it is rather more of die
Buffa, than is proper for a Serious Opera : however,
it pleases, and is much applauded. It is impossible
to say too much of the stile in which the aCCOMpa.
niments are managed. We never, even in the dine
of VIOTTI, thought them so well done. In the aria
accompanied by the violin abliilato, WEICfIO.O,
gives us such a specimen of elegance, lightness, and
perfeEt taste, that we regret we have not as yet had
an opportunity of hearing. a Concerto from his
Bow.
The Ballet was Laurette, in which the audience
were happy to greet the return of their favourite
HiLtiosseitc. We have had occasion frequently
to admire the elegance and activity of PAnisor ;
but in the Ballet she adds interest to the cha.
fader.
The LABOR US are always attraaive, and the
CORALLIS increase in aelivity and in public fa .00r.
St. PIERRE will ever stand unrivalled in his per-
formance of Gaucheries. The Ficuse was exceed-
ingly full, and of the best company. We cannot
Close this account without complimenting the Ma'
Pagefi on their complete success in expelling MY-
ire,: from the scenes, and in restoring to. the anOi-
enee tranquillity during the performance, with the
view of the scenery.
