COVENT-GARDEN TiIEATRE.

A fair unknown appeared on Saturday night as Peppy, in
the Country Girl. It was, according to the play-bills and
Mr. Fawcett's confession, her first appearance on 'any
stage; if so, she deserves credit for her extraordinary ad-
dress and self-possesaion. Her debut, without being re-
markably brilliant, was successful. She is tall, personable,
and particularly graceful and unembarrassed in her move-
ments. Fawerres Moody, as usual, was an.adsnirable
performance; but Mr. GREEN'S SparltiBh bad rather too
much assumption shoot it. He seemed too a.onacious of
his own personal attraction, and particularly of what he
no doubt conceives to be his faultless legs. After the play
the Sublime and Beautiful was repeated fdr the second
time, on which occasion Madame VEETRIS, in consequence
of some misapprehension on the part of the audience, was
delivered of—a speech. The accouchement, we are happy
to inform the public, was remarkably easy and satisfac-
tory. The house was well attended.

The King visited Windsor Castle soon after
two o'clock on Friday afternoon. The Lord Steward, the
Master of thollousehold, end.the Deputy Comptroller of
the Household; were in waiting on his Majesty at the
Castle. Several of the tradespeople and master workmen
employed in the Castle were in attendance. Hie Majesty
naaile inquiries as to the state of the works, at the sates
tine expressing his wish to take up his residence at the
Castle oa Monday (this day). It is feared, however,
should such be the case, that his Majesty will experience
some inconvenient*, owing to 'several hundred workmen
being employed in parte of the Castle clime to the Royal
apartments. In particular, s very great 'number are en-
gaged at a very large apartment, comprising the space of
St. George's-ball, the lute King's music-room, and the
private chapel, which have been formed into nue immense
hall.

The King, after remaining about two hours
and a ballet the Castle, returned to the Royal Lodge.
The Duke of Gloucester has arrived in town

A King's 11,1eSSemger arrived on Friday night
at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, front Vienna, with
despatches from Lord Cowley,
The Court Circular has led most of the London
and provincial papers into au-error, by announcing unau-
thoritatively that the IL:igtris of Salisbury has had several
interviews of late with the Duke of Wellington, 'gild that it
was arranged that his Lordship should join the Cabinet.
It unfortunately for the Court Circular, that the
-Marquis of Salisbury 1 as been for some snonths, end is
now, on the Continent, and by the latest account will not
return till the 15th o ale present month. We believe-the
Earl of Shaftesbury to be the unbleznan whom the Court
Circular has "rnist-ftren for the Marquis of Salisbury.—

COBURG THPATRE:—Mr. George Bowcs,
the Inspector, takes his fieneot.to-foolvow evening. His
bill of fare presents an unusual degree of attraction. Mr.
Charles, a pupil of Mr. T. Cooke, plays the part of Count
Colmar; in the operatic rnelo-drama of Elizabeth, or the
Exile of Siberia, in which character he will introduce
the favourite songs of " Just like love," " No more by
sorrow," and " The rose shall' chase to blow." The
laughable burletta of IVhere shalt I cline? and the inte-
resting inelo-draina of Therese,, are included in the en-
tertaininents.

THEATRICALS.—We understand that the
father of Mks Phillips, whose very successful- debut at
Drury-lane, we had occasion to notice some time ago, is an
engineer and surveyor in Qxford•street. The young lady
is not a pupil, as has been stated by some of our contem
poraries, 'of Mrs. St. Leger ; she is under the care of a
Mrs. Kearnes, to whom she has been articled for five
years. Mrs. Kearnes receives the half of Miss Phillips's
salary, and, in return, we believe, finds her in board and
dresses, besides giving her instructions.

SPANlsit 11Evu6EF.s.—A discourse, divided

GREAT FIRE AT HiapEN.l3itipt.E.-011
Monday night last, the very large cotton factOry, of Alr.
Ramsbettom, at Heiden-Bridge, in'the parish of Halifax,
a building six stories high, Was entirely consumed by fire.
The loss is estimated at SO,OOO/. and it is insured in the
Norwich Union for 15,0001. It was ignited by. the suutF
of a candle, carelessly thrown down by 4- boy, in the top
story, early. in the evening, and the Honkers in that room
used every exertion in their po.wer to extinguish the gArpok
before they gave the necessary alarm. The Leeds and
Yorkshire fire-ongine was only thirty:Aix miuutes in going
a distance of eight miles and a halt, and arrived from
Halifax in thee to save some oat-buildings, but the factory
is totally destroyed. By this calamitous event upwards
of six hundred persons are thrown out of employ.—Leeds
