Num.—The concerts under the firm of
BILLINGTON, NALDI, and BRAHAM, which were
so much admired last season, were resumed yester-
day evening at Wn.i.ss's Room, with all their for'
mer excellence. The Band was led by Waiokissi•Lt
and the Orchestra was amply supplied with first-
rate performers. Besides Mrs, Brz.LiNcrrotv 911``,
BRAHAM, in the vocal department, the Concert had
the support of VAUGHAN, BRIpLAMY, Goss, 05.4
DARBY, and Miss HUGHES , and the whole consti-
tuted not-only a fine vocal treat, but the instrumen'
tal pieces were well chosen and admirably perform-
ed. Mrs. BILLINGTON sung—." Se ti perdo,"3
beautiful air by GUGLIELMI, which, we believe, 'wag
first sung in this country by MARA. Mrs. BILLING'
TON afterwards introduced it with English words
the Opera of " The Woodman." She gave it 13S;
night with exquisite taste and expression, as she di‘'
indeed all the parts in which she was concerned, °D
this occasion. A new glee—" in Wired weed,"•"„
uy ATwooD, was so well sustained LI
the respeave performers, and was so
pleasing in it;
self, that it wasencored, and so. was the glee--" 01i
never say"—composed by M. P. KING.
A duet on two harps was admirably performed br_
Miss and Miss L: SHARP, both very early in year'
but very far advanced in musical sktll.—Wstatsse
and LINDLEY highly distinguished themselves in g,
new Concertante. The firmness, taste, and brilliant
execution of the former, were remarkable. 131%h:
HAM, in a very impressive scena, " Alfred in 0'
Neatherd's Cot," was warmly and deservedly sr
plaudecl, and so was Nar.nt in an air of Guci.tsalf
in which he accompanied himself on the piano forte'
The Dukeof Sussex, several of the higher orders,
and a very elegant assemblage of the female world;
were present.

THE THEATRE.-The historical Play of Henry tM
Eighth was brought forward for the first time 01
Saturday, since the opening of the new Theatre, and
represented again last night.—The Managers ha:cle
shewn great liberality in the magnificence Wit')
which this fine production of our great Bard was re-
vived on this occasion, as well as for the exactries4
of the costume, decorations, &e.—lCEstata and 01/6'
SIDDONS have otten been seen in the Cardin'
and Queen Catherine, that it is only necessary to 05
serve that they displayed their usual excellence.
CHARLES KEMBLE also VMS., as usual, respetabil
and interesting in CromwelL COOKE, for the
time, appeared in the charader of the King, wlnco
he sustained with all that rough energy which gel:
rally marks his at:Wig...N.A. few factious spirits in IP'
Gallery attempted to raise a clamour when it via°,
proposed to 94nd. Crammer to the Tower, obviousif
wishing to connect the circumstance with a recent
event, but the good sense of the audience soon pot
an'end to the indecent turbulence,

The'validtty of the late Lord BELLZW'S will is i°
be investigated this Term in the Irish Court of Chan:
cery, on which depends the inheritance of estate*

A tew days ago, as Lord MALBOURNE was taking
an airing at Brockett Hall, the horses became restive'
and would have plunged into the river, opposite hi.
Lordship's house, bad it not been for the footmln
who was on the box with the coachman, laying 1101'
of one of the reins, which compelled them to take ?I,
direction towards the bridge; but before they Cola
reach it, the carriage came in contact with the rail'
ing, which gave, when it was precipitated down rite
hill, and in its course turned several times over ; tit
we are happy to find his Lordship sustained no othe
injury than a slight contusion on the head.

An Inquest was held, on Wednesday, at the Bar'
ley Mow, in Mount-street, by ANTHONY GELD
Esq. on the body of Mr. Ready, a coal-merchant'

River. The Jury returned a verdid of Lunacy.
William Tatum and Joseph Lamb have bee",
