ENGLISH OPEHA.—The Lady who performed
Polly in The Beggar's Opera, last night appeared
as Mandane in Artaxerxes. Her name is BuGcm,
We wish that her name were as melodious as her
tones, though " a Bose lay any other name would
smell as sweet." Her voice is good, and she sings
with skill. Her tutor is Mr. HottN, whose own
merit in ../rbaces spews how well qualified he is kw
instruct. She was well tacciveci, and appeared
to more advantage. The whimsical Operala of
My Uncle, and the grand Action, Don Juan,
also went off with success.

l~tt:cu oar.--Flee following we arc assured is an
authentic statement of the accident which recently
happened at this place :—On Thursday last three
Gentlemen, Captain CIIALCRAFT. of the Ist Life
Guards, Mr. 13CiDDOCK, of the 7th, and Mr:
taosE, of the University of Cambtidge; Met wittx
rather a serious accident they were driving
round the Steyne in a curriele with a pair of fiery
bloods in the carriage, when the horses, by so4ne
accident, became unmanageable, and dashed ott
with furious speed, and coming in contact with
one of the corners of Dar:ALDsoN's Library,
Captain C. vas dashed out with such violence
to fracture his leg ; Mr. ituDnoct( leaped out, but
cut his knee in a dreadful manner ; Mr. Ard-
'lncise sat still till the horses, approaching the
Cliff, ran over the leading horses of a waggon,
when he made his escape behind, and was per,
fectly unhurt. Mr. Ruupticm and Captain CLIAL4
CRAFT are doing well.
