RESIDENCE OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

We can now positively state, that the Princess
CHARLOTTE and Prince LEOPoLD will have Marl-
borough-House in Pall-Mall for a residence. A tie-
gociation, which was commenced some months
since, was interrupted by a discovery that the Duke
of MARL.r.onooG ft could not then nrak,• a legal as-
signment of the premise's. That difficulty having
bisen overcome by a decree of the Court of Chancery,
the negociation was renewed ; and the Duke lower-
ed the valuation made by his Surveyors to 30001.
a year, only 5001. more than had been tennered
by the Princess CHARLOTTE. At this rent the
mansion has been taken for seven years, and the
leases are now preparing. It is to be thoroughly
repaired and beautified, under the direction of Mr.
COPELAND, the builder, by whom great alterations
will also be made in the internal structure. The
expence of the whole is estimated at 10,0001. The
rent is to commence at Michaelmas.—(Herald.)

ENGLISH OPERA...—MISS KELLY •has returned
from her theatrical ramble, and last.night resumed
her part of Gertrude, in the musical piece enti-
tled Free and Easy Short as her absence has
been the audience, a very numerous one, received
her with a welcome that strongly indicated how
great a favourite she is with the Public. Au evi-
dent improvement in her health gave increased
animation to her acting. We were glad to see
that Mrs. XV. S. CHATTEELEY was able to resume
her station i❑ t lie Afterpiece of Is He Jealous ?
She first appeared on the Loud ,n boards in this
piece, and made a very favourable impression,
which she has fully confirmed.
