COVENT-GARDEN THEATitt.

A new musical finte, founded on the lively little
afterpiece of the Su/Snit, was brought out here last
night. The plot, except in cne or tw points, is
already familiar to the public : it is unnecessary,
therefore, to dwell upon it. Eliza6clh (Madame
VESTRIS) is the heroine of the piece; she is a pretty
mischievous, young- English girl, who, in the dis-
guise of .a male slave, forces her way into the se-
raglio of the Grand Signior, and by her arch and
winning elegance of manner, induces him to fall
desperately in love with her, arni finally, to marry
her. The music of the farce, 5y Mr. A. LEE, is pretty,
without any particular claims either to novelty or
impressiveness. The best air is sung by WooD, arid
is entitled " The chains a lover's heart surround."
Altogether the piece is a very attractive one, but is
chiefly indebted for its success to the admirable spi-
rits of Madame VESTRIS. The house was tolerably
full, and we were glad to find, ih contradiction to
a statement made in a Morning Paper, that the
chandelier is the only gas-light in the interior of the
theatre.

CONSECRATION OF THE MAUSOLEUM TO
THE MEMORY OF THE LATE DUCHESS OF RUTLAND...—
Ili!, impressive ceremony took place on Friday last, the
28th of November, the day preceding the third anniversary
of her Grace's ever-to-be-lamented decease. About ten
o'clock live carriage; drew up to the grand front af Bel-
voir Castle, and conveyed the various personages taking a
part in the ceremonial to the village of Knipton, the ceme-
tery being within the parish, and attached to the church of
that place. Here morning prayers were read, and an ad-
dress delivered by the Bishop cf Lincoln's Chaplain, which
was one of the most eloquent and affecting orations we
ever heard. On the conclusion of Divine Service, the pro-
cession returned to the Mausoleum, which, after the accus-
tomed formality being gone through, was consecrated by
Lord Bishop of the Diocese, the Rev. Dr. Kaye, in the
presence of his Grace the Duke of - Rutland, the
Duchess Isabella of Rutland, La dies Emmeline, Adeliza,
and Catherine Manners; Mr. and Lady E. Norman, Lady
E. Drummond and Mr. Drummond, Sir W. E. Welby, the
Rev. C. de Rous Thornton, Cul. Trench, Mr. Wyatt, the
architect ; Rev. Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Eaton, Mr. Turner,
&c. His Lordship afterwards delivered a discourse suited
to the solemn occasion—a discourse admirable at once for
its eloquence, its pathos, and elegant simplicity. The ce•
remony being concluded, his Grace and the Noble guests
proceeded to the Castle, where they partook of a sumptuous
banquet, served up in the great dining-room. The Bishop
is expected to make some stay at the Castle.

THE TWO KEANS.—The public have been
told that Mr. Kean was opposed to the idea of his son
making the stage his profession, and that his opinion of the
histrionic talents of the young man was unfavourable.—
This was, we believe, at one time the fact. Tl* follow-
ing anecdote will show bow far the father's sentiments have
changed :—lt has already been stated in the public Jour-
nals' that Mr. Kean and his son played together fur the
first and only time in their lives at Glasgow, for the be-
nefit of the latter. The play was Junius Brutus, and,
as might be expected from the circumstance of two such
names appearing in the same piece, it proved highly at-
tractive—one of the moat numerous audiences ever seen in
Glasgow being collected to witness it. Whilst the play
was proceeding, the father, as may easily be imagined, was
not an inattentive observer of the performance of his son.
Mr. Charles Kean played Titus, and in one of his best
scenes the, father stood inside the stage-door watching his
progress, evidently, as appeared to Mr. Seymour and
other persons near him, much affected by. the energy and
talent displayed by his son. As the business of the scene
proceeded, and the interest heightened, the father's feel-
ings got the better of his discretion, and, unconscious
where he was, or of the presence of other parties, he in-
voluntarily began to clap his hands, repeating in an under
tone, as each sentence delivered by the young man told
upon the audience, his eye glistening with inward pride and
satisfaction, "Bravo ! bravo ! bravo, by G— ! I didn't
think the boy could have done it."

During the gale on Monday last, a boat with
five men belonging to a fishing smack upset on the out
bank in coming on shore between Walcott Gap and Hap-
pisburgh, who were all drowned. Another boat, with four
men belonging to the fishing smack Mary Ann, of Lon-
don, was drove safe on shore between Mundsley and Tri-
rninghtun. It appears these boats had just left their re•
spective vessels for the purpose of hauling their lines, when
the gale came on, and they were unable to return. The
brig Waterhouse, of Shields, was driven on shore at Eccles,
but is likely to be got off. The brig Mary and Isabella,
of Newcastle, is also on shore at Waxham.—/Vorwich

An Italian paper (il Giornale d' Ainodei)
of Oct. last, contains an extraordinary but apparently au-
thentic account of a case of total abstinence from food of
every kind during the long period of two years, eight
months, and eleven days. The patient in this case was a
woman named Garbero, of Racconis, in Piedmont, who
died on the 19th of May last, aged 48. During the pe-
riod above stated, she had remained without taking any
sort of sustenance, solid- or liquid ; but she appears to
have retained her mental faculties till within a few hours
of her death. This woman was regarded in the place
where she resided as a Saint, and was daily visited by
crowds ; but from the examination of the body after death,
by two eminent professors of anatomy at Turin, Rolando
awl Gallo, it appeared that the abstinence was to be ac-
counted for by one of the rare effects of pathological phe-
nomena. These professors, after describing the appear-
ance of the body, which bad become similar to that of a
mummy, state that the cause of the abstinence arose from
a mechanical injury by which the transverse colon was
carried into the cavity of the pelvis, and the stomach,
(esophagus, and pharynx so acted upon, that deglutition
became painful, and at length impossible. The patient
being reduced, like some animals,- to live • upon her own
substance, no longer sustained loss by the cutaneous or
other secretion, except pulmonary, which was so slight as
not to soil a glass when applied to the lips. These gen-
tlemen imagined that the absorption by which life was sus-
tained was assisted by some principle in the atmosphere—
the nutritive support derived by the patient from her own
substance and absorption froth the atmosphere being no
longer sufficient to repair the losses sustained, the substance
which was in the digestive canal previously to the me-
chanical injury, brought on a slow inflammation accompa-
nied with fever, which produced gangrene and death.

TUE SNYDALE MURDER.—(Extract of a
letter from Carlisle, dated Dec. 4.)—The person who is
in custody here on suspicion of being the murderer of
Longth.orneint Snydale, near Pontefract, has not yet been
identified. He gives his name Orchard, and denies that
fie ever went under that of Mosey, though he answers very
nearly to the description published of that person. The
Only material difference is, that this man has smooth glossy
hair, whilst Mosey is described as having curly hair. Ha
says he came from Hridport, in Dorsetshire ; but gives a
very confused and contradictory account of himself. On
Saturday week he had gone to the house of Mr. Tordiff, a
miller, at Keswick, in this county, and asked for a drink of
water; Mr. T. pointed out the pump to him, and bid hiin
help himself. The fellow made use of some insolent lan-
guage, and Mr. T. shut the door upon him, but the fellow
again flung it open; and it was only by the use of threats
that he was induced to leave the premises. On the fol-
lowing day (Sunday) Mr. Tordiff happening to see a de-
scription of Mosey in a newspaper, was struck with its_
