MISS SMlTlTSON.—(Airectiwy Occurrcnce.)—A
scene took place yesterday at Drury-Lane Theatre of the most
affecting nature. Miss S*urnsoN, who was attending the re-
hearsal of the part of Mary, in The Innkeeper's Daughter, be-
ing informed that a letter had been left in her name, directed it
to be brought up. On opening it her countenance was observed to
undergo a distressing change, the colour left her cheeks, and her
frame became much agitated. For a few. moments she with dif-
culty supported herself and then fell on the stage in strong hys-
terics. The whole of the theatrical corps immediately went
to her assistance, and the further. proceedings of the
rehearsal stayed. It was now found necessary, from
the distressing situation of the young Lady, to send
for her- brother, who promptly attended. His feelings, on
witnessing the state of his sister, may be better felt than
described. Ile took up the letter, and on reading it, placed
his hands over his eyes, fell, and remained for some time
totally insensible. The afflicted Lady and Gentleman were
then removed to two adjoining apartments in the theatre, where
every attention possible was paid to them. "On the letter be-
ing read, it was found to contain a communication of the death
of their father. We are happy to say they subsequently re-
covered and left the theatre. In consequence of the above oc-
currence Miss KELLY undertook the part of Mary, in The
Innkeeper's Daughter.

His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT will

our illustrious brother, the Duke de Genevois, on whom, by

weakness of our health, which had long since suggested to us
the project of quitting the Throne, a project which we had the
firm intention of carrying into execution as soon as we should
have terminated some affairs of high importance,. a project in
Which we' are confirmed by the actual state of affairs,-which de-
mands still more assiduity and application, we have resolved,
of our own free will, to confirm by dila Act, subscribed by .us,

no more foundation than the victories of the Carbonari of Na-.

the transition to disorder is but too easy. -
" There is not a word of truth, either in *hat respects those
conferences, or relatively to their object, which has been but
very.: slightly touched upon hitherto. Count Nesselrode
has not: been at Paris for a single instant. •Ilis Excel-
lency has never quitted Laybacli. The High .Chamberlain,
Count Narischkin, has never' been employed in diplomatic
_affairs,and has gone to Paris merely for his pleasure. Count
Ferronays, the Minister of France, has taken advantage, for
the.purpose of going to pass some days" in this capital, of the
last moment of the stay of the Emperor Alexander in his
states. •He has resumed the character of Ambassador, because
the same character had .been conferred on. Count Pozzo ai Bor-

LORD COCHRANE'S OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF
THE CAPTURE OF THE ESMERALDA SPANISH.
FRIGATE.. . .
The following is a private Letter from Admiral
COculeAsE to the Supreme Director:—
. •- • " Ship O'Higgins, Port of Ancon,•
November 19. •

."The speedy departure of the French brig
Tdegraph does not allow me time to communi-
cate officially to the. Government what I have
now to inform your Excellency. On the sth
inst., I embarked a part of the sailors and marines
of my ships, the Lantaro and Independencia, in
the boats of their respective vessels, and boarded
the Spanish frigate Esmeraida, and took her off,
after a spirited, resistance, in_ which we lost 15
killed, and about 50 wounded ; the loss of the
enemy is the Admiral's flag, which was hoisted,
a large number of killed and wounded, and in=
prisoners all the Officers (three of whom were-
wounded), the Ex.-Commander and Lieutenant
of the frigate P.reuba, who were on board, toge-
ther with 174 of the crew. We also took a gun-
boat with 14 men. Many of the crew of the
Emeralda jumped overboard, and perished. I
received a wound in my thigh from a musket
Ilan, but not serious. The frigates Prcuba and
Penvinza were out of port.' A in-0641 i we have
not item able to obtain any exact information
as to their destination, I have still hopes of
meeting thern, and completing the destruction ,of
the enemy's force in these seas."

The general opinion in the Upper Circles is,
that Parliament will not be prorogued until the
beginning of July. There are various import-
ant financial measures to be gone through, be-
sides the several great questions of domestic ar-
rangement which cannot be thrown over until
another Session= without serious injury to -the
Empire. We mean-the relief which is to be.af-
forded to ti►e-Agricultural Interest, and to the
numerous classes of -Society dependant on' them;
And also the arrangement of the existing, dif-
ferences between the English, Scotch, and Irish
Distilleries. There area independent of these
important objects, many others which, we trust,
will not be neglected and-we hope some satis-
factory statutable-regulatiou will be passed re-
specting the support and management of the poor
in England..

Garden Theatre. • Miss DANCE, for the.lirst time,
supported the part- of Lady Tozonl2l,::arid never
did we see a more interesting representative. It
was formerly, said that nothing -was wanting to
the perfection of acting in the part of Lady
Mimi!) but that Mrs. WOFFINGTON should ap-
pear in the gayer scenes, and Mrs. Civanit in the
last, to display the pathos and contrition. it' by
such means it were possible to sustain the illusion.
Miss DANCE repres4;uted the varied emotions
with singular Success. She was all elegarit gaiety
and spirit in the earlier scenes, and deeply affect-
ing in the conclusion. She was most denrqdly ap-
plauded.- We can also bear an equally faVourable
testimony respecting Mr. C. K EMBLE'S Lcircl Town-
ly. The character was uniformly_ supported
with dignity, feeling, and judgment, 'and: gtrongly
excited the tribute of sympathy.
