COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

Mr. DEAN'S Macbeth attracted here a full house
last night. Ora performance so well known, and so
generally appreciated—though, by the bye, it is far
from being one of his first characters—it is super-
fluous to say more than that it was in all respects
deserving of him. Had a little more spirit been in-
fused into it, it would have left us nothing to wish
for. Miss I.Acv's Lady Macbeth was a very re-
spectablf! performance.

Some of the papers, in speaking of Miss
PHILLIPS, the deserving young actress at Drury-lane
Theatre, have described her as twenty years of age. This
is a mistake—she is still under the age of sixteen ; but,
although so young, is an accomplished musician and an ex-
cellent scholar, being well versed in the dead as well as the
living languages. She is the daughter of M. PHILLIPS,
a surgeon of some eminence, and many years a resident of
Sussex.

COFFEE AFTER DINNER.—A celebrated
foreign physician, not less noted for his social than his me-
dical qualities, used to declare that he should have died a
hundred times of indigestion if he had not accustomed him-
self to take coffee after dinner.

ROBBERY AT THE HOUSE OF MR: SER•
JEANT ANortEws.—On Saturday evening, at seven o'clock,
a young woman called at the house of Mr. Setjeant AN-
DREWS, 40, Guildford-street, .te answer an advertisement
fora house-maid ; and while the footman was gene up
stairs to inform his mistress who was in waiting, the pre-
tended servant decamped, taking witii her a gold watch
aid appendages; value 201., which had bern left in the
parlour.

ROBBERY AT BARON GARROW'S-YCS-
terday, about 12 o'clock at noon, some thieves entered the
house of Mr. Baron GARROW, 27, Great George-street,
Westminster, by the area steps, and stole from the house-
keeper's room a purple robe and a black waistcoat, belong-
ing to the Learned Judge. The robbery is supposed to
have been committed by some sweeps or running dustmen,
who were seen about the house.

MADEMOISELLE VERREY.---The persecu-
tion this unfortunate young lady experienced during her
lifertime, and which caused her premature death, would
we have thought, ended in the grave; hut not so ; even
there she is not safe. On Saturday information that could
be relied on was given to the parochial officers of Saint
George's, that a party of resurrectionists intended to make
an attempt to carry off the body of Mademoiselle Vxe.itEv'
from St. George's burying-ground, Bayswater, that even-
ing. In I;n
anda aboutddition
to the watchman who is in constant
attendance at that ground, three extra watchmen were
eight o'clock in the evening the beadles
and constables repaired to the burying-ground in case as-
sistance should be wanted. In a short time three men
were seen prowling near the burying-ground, and from
their cautious manner of proceeding, clearly showed what
their intentions were. After beating about for some time,
they retreated somewhat hastily, perceiving, it is supposed,
that they were watched. A sharp look-out has been kept
upon the bury ing ground since. .
A singular circumstance lately occurred at the
Goose-poole, Herefordshire, without parallel, we believe, in
the memories of our oldest sporting friends. A hen be-
longing to a person there made her nest in a wheat-field,
and in due time brought home a brood of chickens, one
of which puzzled all the knowledge of ornithology of
her owner, who, however, was unfortunately induced,
owing to the singular. noise which the bird made at
night, to destroy it, but not before it had been ascertained
that the strange chick was a landrail; and doubtless a*

WITISKEy.—Tt, was mentioned on Saturday
last, that whiskey had advanced 6d. a gallon in consequence
of the rise in the prices of grain. Business in this arti-
cle was very dull on Wednesday, and most of the sales made
were at the old prices,.-.Scotsman,
