DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Mr.Bunn's benefit came
off last night, and the very alluring programme put forth by
the house literally to the

Tcaffect

h r of filling
ih t
Bohemian,
Girl, M. Duprez sang two
songs, the first of which, " While I gaze on those dear eyes,"
was rapturously encored. The performance of the little
Hungarian violinist, Master Joachim, and the concertante
for three pianofortes played by Madame Dulcken, Mr.
Moscheles, and Mr. Benedict, were also features in the con-
cert. Immediately after the opera was concluded a general
cry was raised for the appearance of Mr. Bunn, to receive
the compliment due to his very spirited management during
the closing season. After a short time he came forward, and
having in a few words thanked the audience for their support,
retired amidst renewed shouts of applause. The evening's
entertainment concluded with a divertisement, in which
Mademoiselle Fleury danced the Guaracha, displaying the
utmost grace and supplenesS throughout all its varied move-
ments. No benefit could go off with more eclat, or prove in
every way more creditable to the beneficiaire, than that of
last night.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Donizetti's opera of
L'Elisir d'Amore was performed for the first time last night.
Correlli appeared as Nemorino, and it would be superfluous
to say one word in praise of Persiani's Adina. At the con-
' elusion of the opera, Mademoiselle Favanti gave the last
scene of La Cenerentola, and fully maintained the favourable
opinion elicited by her former performances. " Non piu mesta"
was loudly encored, and upon the fall of the curtain the ap-
pearance of Mademoiselle Favanti was required to receive
the usual tribute of approbation.
POPULAR EDUCATION.—A meeting was held on
behalf of the great cause of popular education, last evening,
at the spacious Independent chapel, Cambridge-heath. Mr.
Hindley, M.P., took the chair. He was supported by David
Williams Wire, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Collison, the Rev. Dr.
Andrew Reed. the Rev. Josiah Vinez, J. Motley, W. Morley,
H. Althans, J. Davis, N. Garrett, C. R. Dexter, Esqs., and a
large number of other gentlemen. The following resolution
moved by Mr. D. Wire, was carried:" That this meeting
desires to be deeply impressed with the awful state of ignor-
ance and depravity in which thousands of children are grow-
ing up around them, and would feel it their bounden duty,
especially at the present juncture, to put forth prompt, vigo-
rous, and. increased efforts for their instruction." It was re-
solved `td establish a boy's school on the British and Foreign
School Society's principles, in Bethnal-green, towards which
large subscriptions were announced. The Rev. Dr. Andrew
Reed, the Rev. J. Carlile, and other gentlemen also addressed
the meeting,
DREADFUL SUICIDE IN A FIT OF PASSION.—On

the evening of the 18th inst., a married woman, named Jane
Blackford, was admitted into the Middlesex Hospital under
the following circumstances :—She resided with her husband,
a tailor, on the second floor of the house, No. 7, Camaby-
street, Golden-square, and on the evening in question she
quarrelled with her husband, and being a woman of very ex-
citable temperament, she rushed, pending the quarrel, to the
window and jumped into the street. She was picked up by
police-constable 24 C, in a state of insensibility, and conveyed
expeditiously to the above hospital, when it was found that
her injuries consisted of a fracture of both legs, of injury to
the spine, and extensive internal injuries. Though the sur-
geons of the hospital had no hope of her recovery they paid
her every attention their skill could suggest, but she kept
gradually sinking, and died on Tuesday evening last.
EXTRAORDINARTABDUCTION.—Last night, at eleven
o'clock, an extraordinary sensation was created in the neigh-
bourhood of Clerkenwell Police Court, upon three cabs
driving up to the police-station adjoining the Court, and
several elegantly-dressed ladies and gentlemen, accom-
panied by Mr. Duke, the Chief Usher of the District
Court, and Mr. Inspector Penny alighting therefrom. It
soon became known that William Burton Newenham had
been apprehended for unlawfully carrying away and
taking possession of Miss Frances Louisa Wortham, a
young lady of
considerable property, whose , mother
resides at No. 39, Gerard-street, Coburg-row, Islington.
The young lady only attained her fifteenth year in
December last. On reaching the station-house a dis-
tressing scene ensued between the young lady and her
mother. Through the indefatigability of the officers the
parties were traced to have gone to Gretna-green, and re-
turned from thence to London, where they took apartments
in Carlisle-street, Soho-square. Mr. Boyce Combe, the Ma-
gistrate, granted a warrant for the apprehension of Newen-
ham, and after much vigilance, the officers found out the re-
treat of the parties, at ten last night, and had considerable
difficulty in effecting an entrance into the room. The ab.
ductor was forthwith conveyed to Clerkenwell Police Sta-
tion, where he was locked up on a charge of misdemeanor,
and the lady was takon to Inspector Penny's residence, pre-
paratory to going before the Lord Chancellor, being a ward
in Chancery.

Major-General Sir Robert Sale is to be Quarter-
master-General to the Queen's Troops in India, vice
Churchill, deceased.
