COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

Mr. YOUNG having announced his intention of taking
his leave of the public last night, the house was crowded
on the occasion, and aim actor applauded to the echo. Mr.
YOUNG was born in 1777, and received a classical educa-
tion ; but having had a hankering for the stage from hi
childhood, he appeared as Norval, under an assumed name,
at the Liverpool Theatre, 1795. He was married in
1805 to Miss GRIMANI, who died about twelve months
afterwards, after giving birth to a son. In 1807 Mr.
YOUNG made his debut before a London audience at the
Haymarket Theatre, in the character of Hamlet. In
1809 he appeared at Covent-Garden with JOHN KEMBLE,
since which period he has performed occasionally at both
the Winter Theatres the principal characters in tragedy,
with great and deserved success, and has been more no
ticed by persons of distinction than any other actor in
modern times. As he first appeared before a metropolitan
audience in the character of Hamlet, he took his leave in
the same last night. At the conclusion of the play he
came forward, and in a most feeling manner bade his ever
kind and liberal patrons—Farewell! Immediately after-
wards Mr. MACREADY, BRAHAII, HARLEY, &C., pre-
sented Mr. YOUNG with a handsome piece of plate, as a
token of friendship and respect from the principal per.
formers belonging to Drury-lane Theatre. His friends,
MACREADY and MATHEWS, with a feeling that does them
credit, performed the Ghost and Polonius on the occa-
sion. Miss KELLY, too, played her original part of Betty
Finihin, in the farce of Gretna Green, with her accus-
tomed tact and ability. MATHEWS sang a comic song ad-
mir,ibly. PARRY, junior, sang MooßE's beautiful ballad,
" Oft in the stilly night," accompanying himself on the
harp, which was loudly encored.

DEATH OF SIR JAMES MACKINTOSH.

We lament to state, that the Right Hon. Sir James
tfackintosh died yesterday morning, in the 67th year of
hi 3 age, in Langham•place.
(From a CoaalisroNuxwr•)
Sir James Mackintosh, who had heel unwell for some
time, died at his house, in Langhan-place, on the 30th of
Alay, at a quarter before six o'clock A.m.

Tire attack of which he died may be said to have ori
oa•ed in an accident. About the beginning of March, Sir
I ours, while at dinner, attempted to swallow a portion of
:he breast of a boiled chicken ; but the morsel remained in
his throat, and gave rise to several distressing symptoms in
deglutition and respiration. At the end of two days the
obstruction was removed by an emetic, aril it was found to
consist of the flesh of the chicken, with a porth,n of thin
bane, upwards of an inch in length, embethled in its
centre, and projecting at one side in a sharp point. The
effects of the accident completely unsettled his general
health. He afterwards laboured under increasing debil ty,
and occasional attacks of severe pains in his head, shoulders,
and limbs. A fey days beiore death the pains suddenly
t•eased. Fehri!e symptoms set in, and the head became
affected. Although this change was met, and in a great
measure subdued, by the treatment prescribed by the me-
dical gentlemen in attendance, the consequent debility was
too great for his constitution to resist, already oppressed
by the weight of 66 years.
Sir James Mackintosh anticipated the near approach of
his dissolution with the greatest firmness, and with the
most perfect resignation to the Divine will. He retained,
nearly to the last, the command of the powerful mental fa-
cul,ies which distinguished him through An arduous life, a
large proportion of which was spent in deep study, and in
supporting the best interests of mankind.
