We have often had an idea of giving a certain
lady of this country a hint, that she might as well confine her-
self to her domestic duties, as mingle with politics and vainly
strive to influence public men and public measures. As she
unquestionably possesses some talents and some reading, we
have thought of reminding her of the advice which a great
horse master of antiquity, Hector, "the mighty tamer of the
Trojan steed," gave his wife, when she attempted to interfere
in affairs ofstate—

" No more; but hasten to thy task at home.
There guide the spindle, and direct the loom."

The French papers have, however, anticipated us : she now
first figures in their columns. We are sorry for it : such an
occurrence or discovery is not creditable to the character of our
fair countrywomen. Why can she not pursue the usual course
of a handsome woman on the decline by replenishing her admi-
iers from the votaries of the church ? These, too, accord
best with her past life, which has always been most irreproach_
able. She really ought to consort with bishops rather than po-
liticians. At all events, let her be content with the distinction
of presiding over the fantastic gentilities of Almack's.—Timcs.

It has long been doubted whether Sir Charles
Wetherell made his interminable thousand and one Anti_
Reform speeches extemporaneously or by dint of previous
study. The dispute has been settled by a rather ludicrous ac.
Cident. Sir Charles, in his last oration, in the act of giving
one of his ordinary violent jerks to the waistband of his nether
garment, tossed out of his pocket a paper of memorandums.
The document was found by the servant wench who was sweep-
ing the floor of the House of Commons. The old woman con-
scientiously took the important paper to the Speaker,
who immediately pronounced it to contain the heads of nearly
tit Sir Charles Wetherell's Speeches on Reform. The (W-
-owing are the principal notes :—" Speak three times to-night—

membra of Sir Charles Wetherell's speeches upon the Reform

Bill, and his memory must be wonderful, for he kept the order

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
A new Drama, the manufacture, we believe, of Mr. Planch6,
entitled The Compact, was brought out here, for the first time,
last night. It was highly successful, and bids fair to have a
run. The plot is somewhat complicated, but the main incident
arises out of the supposed murder of a young collegian eighteen
years before by a fellotv-student named Mariano Murienos,
on' whom suspicion falls in consequence of his having fled from
the country, and who is therefor; during his absence, arraigned
and condemned to suffer death whenever he shall appear.
One of the associates of the banditti, not aware of the fatal
sentence hanging over the suspected person, assumes the name
in order to escape punishment, and thus becomes liable to the
penalty. The Corregidor (Cooper) whose office it is to convict
hill], is himself the lost Mariano, under a feigned name, and at
the critical moment proclaims the fact. The innocence of the
supposed murderer is immediately afterwards clearly esta.
Wished by Raffagos, who then receives the par..
don, which had before been denied to him.—
Mr. Wallack played the part of a reckless, but high.minded
brigand, in his usual style of excellence ; Cooper, as the
Cdrreidor, was tolerable ; and Mrs. Humby and Harley erili.
vdned the piece by their comic archness. The scenery was
very picturesque, and the whole drama well got up. The
house was well attended but not crowded.
