THE THEATRE.—The amusing opera of The
Marriage of Figaro, which has been so popular
on other stages, was brought forward last night
at the New Theatre, Haymarket, and altogether
so well cast, and so well supported, that it af-
forded high gratification to a very numerous
audience. JONES was the Count, and his merit
is too well known to require our praise. Miss
CAREW was very interesting in the Countess,
both in acting and musical excellence, and well
deserved the applause which she received. DE-
, CAMP, who is now one of the easiest performers
on the stage, gave all due spirit and humour to
the part of Figaro. TAYLEURE, who made his
first appearance on the London boards, at this
theatre, and whose talents do not appear to have
yet reached the proper standard of public esti-
mation, was very successful in the Drunken
Gardener. The Page was supported with true
characteristic vivacity by MPS. CHATTERLEY.
LEONE-LEE, another importation from the pro-
vincial boards, was very respectable in Fiorilli,
and sung with such taste as very properly pro-
cured Um the compliment cit an encore. The
piece altogether is brought forward with such
correctness and spirit, as to be highly creditable
to the management.

lIEREroan PITT CLun.—On Thursday se'n-
night the Members of the Hereford Pitt C!ub

Save the King."—" The Duke of York and Royal
Family."—" The Duke of York's March."—
The Noble Chairman then rose, and addressed
the Meeting in an animated speech, introductory
to the toast of " The Immortal _Memory of the
late Right Hon. William Pitt," which was drunk
with much enthusiasm, and followed by the song
of " The Pilot that weather'd the Storm."—Nu-
merous other appropriate toasts were given with
the usual honours, and. the evening passed off
with the utmost unanimity and conviviality.
A GENUINE IRIS? BuLr..—The porter of a
Dublin grocer was brought up by his master on a charge of
stealing CHOCOLATE, which he could not deny. Upon being
asked to whom he SOLD it, the pride of Patrick was greatly
wounded. "To whom did I SELL. it," says Pat; why'
does he think I took it to sEr.r. ?" " Then Sir," said the Ma-
gistrate, " what did you DO with it ?" "Do wid it ?" re-
joined the culprit, extremely offended with his 'Worship for
persisting in his insulting suspicions, " since you must know,"
said he, " we made TEA of it P,

ALDERMAN DARLEY.

[FROM THE DUBLIN EVENING HERALD.]

IMFORTANT COMMUNICATION TO LORD FINGAL.
It has never fallen to our lot to publish any
document which we consider so important to Ire-
land as the following statement :
On Sunday Lord Fingal, with some other distinguished per-
sonages, dined with Mr. O'Connell in Merrion-square. In the
course of the evening his Lordship received a message from
Mr. Grant, acquainting him that he had a communication to
make on the part of the Government. His Lordship lost no
Lime in waiting on the Chief Secretary, who apologized for send-
ing for him at so unseasonable an hour, by stating that it was
the wish of his Majesty, that what he had to impart should be
made known to his Lordship, and through him to the Catholic
Body, before his Majesty's departure from Ireland, which was
fixed for the following day. Mr. Grant then proceeded to state,
that Lord Sidmouth, by the directions of the King, had sent for
Alderman Darley, and made known his Majesty's strong
displeasure at that Magistrate's conduct at the late civic
entertainment. Lord Sidmouth, he added, had inquired
into the character of Alderman Darley, and found that be-
fore this transaction he was a meritorious officer. He had
learned, besides, that he had a large family, and had ex-
pressed the strongest contrition for his offence. These con-
siderations had induced his Majesty to abstain for the present
from marking his displeasure in the most exemplary way, and
• to confine the punishment of the transgressing party to a severe
reprimand. In conclusion, Mr. Grant stated, that though
his Majesty wished it to be understood, that, in respect
to this incident, he acted altogether from his own feelings, he
(Mr. Grant), was nevertheless authorised by Lord Sidmouth to
state that the sentiments of his Lordship, relative to the cir-
cumstance, altogether coincided with those of his Royal Master,
and that instructions had been given to the Lord Lieutenant to
conduct the Government of this country on principles in accord-
ance with these sentiments. The communication to Lord Fingal
was altogether a verbal one. As, however, it was intended i`or
publicity, his Lordship felt the necessity of drawing up a minute
of it, and submitting it to Mr. Grant, for the purpose of obviat-
ing all possible mistake touching a matter of such extreme import-
ance. The proceedings of yesterday impeded the execution of
his Lordship's design—but we expect to receive a document for
publication before the close of this day. If it arrives in any
time, it shall be given in a Second Edition. We shall only
add a line to sav, that the Catholic body are perfectly satisfied
at this mode of dealing with the offending party, whom, for the
sake of the country, they wish to see corrected, but not made
an absolute victim even of his own imprudence.
ist * The imprudent toast alluded to we believe was " The
glorious Memory of King William the Third," a toast certainly
improper at a convivial Meeting of Protestants and Catholics,
when nothing to have been introduced that could tend
in any respect to disturb the general harmony on so loyal and
festive an occasion. But we think that too much has been made
of this matter, as the Alderman could not be supposed to act
from any improper motives, and probably was influenced by his
reverence for the memory of a Monarch, to whom we are in-
debted for the restoration of our glorious Constitution in Church
and State.
