FANNY KEMBLE.

A very elegant gold bracelet, manufactured by
Mr. Ilattfiet4 was; as we before stated in a former
Fanny Kemble, by the pertorni:,r§ of Covent-garden
Paper, on Wecinegdit,i; ttening' presented to Miss
Theatre, with the following inscription :

" From the performers of the Theatre Royal, Covent-
garden, to Mils Fanny Kemble, in sincere admiration of
her distinguished taleiSid, atfd a (kep sense of the great
advantage accruing to them from litr etettions. October
20, 1829."

This present was accompanied by a later, of
which the following is a copy :

" Theatre Royal; Covent-garden, Oct. 21.
" The performers of the Theatre Ilopyl, Covent-gar-
den, in sincere admiration of the distinguished talent
evinced by Miss Fanny Kemble, in her exquisite delinea-
tion of Juliet, and from the deep sense of the great ad-
vantages accruing from het exertions to the establishment
generally, and to themselves collectit'ely and individually,
beg to offer the accompanying trifle for her acceptance,
which, however inadequate in itself to convey their senti-
ments, it is still hoped may be received as a heartfelt tes-
timony of respect and esteem."

To which letter the following answer has been

returned:—

" Thursday morning, Oct. 22.
" It is with a deep feeling of gratitude and delight that
I now thank you for the kind and highly flattering com-
pliment you have paid me. That my exertions have been
successful, I most thankfully rejoice, at the same time I
acknowledge how much I have been encouraged by the
kindness and good wishes of all around me ; and lam
anxious to assure you, that the first idea of ever assaying
my powers was suggested to me by your adherence to my
father, when absent and in almost distressing perplexities.
Believe me, the testimony I last night received from you
is a source of some pride and much heartfelt satisfaction
to me, and I shall preserve both the gift and the letter to
the end of any life, as memorials of one of its happiest
moments. FRANCES ANN KEMBLE."

His MAJESTY, accompanied by his suite
drove to Virginia Water on Thursday, after which his
MAJESTY proceeded to the Belvedere, and thence by Sand-
pit-gate, and through Sheet-street and Park-street, to the
Castle. The Kura having inspected the Castle, returned
to the cottage at about five o'clock. His MAJEsry has
taken frequent airings during the week, his hours being
from two o'clock until five. This morning the KING
drove up Sheet-street to the Castle, and on entering the
town appeared to be somewhat surprised at there being
such numbers of people about, which was occasioned by
the fair being held in the borough. It is expected that
his MAJESTY will take up his residence at the Castle some
time before the 20th of next month.— Windsor Express.
The Duke of CUMBERLAND left his resi-
dence at Kew on Saturday morning, on a visit to his MA-
JESTY, at the Royal Lodge, in Windsor-park.
The Duke of WELLINGTON left the resi-
dence of the Marquis of HERTFORD, at Sudborn-hall,
Suffolk, yesterday morning, and came to town, where his
Grace arrived yesterday evening.
Lord ELLENBOROUGN transacted business
on Saturday at the Foreign-office.
Her Grace the Duchess of RICHMOND was
safely delivered of a son, at Goodwood, on Thursday, the
22d inst., being her Grace's ninth living child.

The Marquis of HERTFORD is still at Sud-
born, where splendid and elegant hospitality is the " order
of the day." Upwards of one hundred persons, including
servants, are at present inmates of his Lordship's mansion.
The Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. HussassoN are
amongst the distinguished guests. Mr. CROKER, Secre-
tary to the Admiralty, is likewise there.

The triumphal arch to the King's new Palace
in St. James's-park will be embellished by representations
of the most illustrious warriors of Great Britain. The
figures will be eight feet in height. It will also be
adorned with military trophies. The key stone of the
middle arch, fronting the park, has been sculptured in the
form of a lion's head.

Mr. ABERNETHY, the eminent surgeon, is
now at Brighton for the benefit of his health. This eccen-
tric but worthy man, it seems, prefers sea air to blue pill.

We are sorry to relate a serious accident which
befel Lord AIARYBOROUGH (Master of the Buck Hounds),
during the hunt on Monday last. His Lordship was
thrown from his horse from the carelessness of one of the
sportsmen riding against him. So great was the concus-
sion, that his Lordship was dislodged before he had time
to recover himself, and in the fall broke his arm. The
accident happened at Swinley, no great distance from Lord
MARYBOROUGII'S seat, and his carriage was immediately
sent for, and professional assistance procured. His Lord-
ship was conveyed home, and is now fast recovering.

On Thursday last, at the College-street,
Police-office, Dublin, Captain BYNG was fined two gui-
neas law costs, and 21. Is. damages, for an assault inflicted
by him on Mr. JACOB. Mr._JACOB, through his Counsel,
expressed himself dissatisfied with this decision, as the
assault was one of an aggravated character.

Miss PATON has, we understand, renewed
her engagement at Covent-garden Theatre, upon terms
equally liberal, under existing circumstances, on both
sides. The Maid of Judah will be again revived ; and
a new Opera, with music by BISHOP, will be produced in
the course of the season.

Miss FANNY KEMBLE seems destined to re-
novate the fortunes of her family, and the drooping cha-
racter of the British Stage, which, in our day, has expe-
rienced four most remarkable and fortuitous epochs. The
first season that great luminary, Mrs. SIDDONS, acted at
Drury-lane, the profits, to the proprietors, were said to have
exceeded 20,0001., notwithstanding the smallness of the
theatre. The first season after Mrs. BILLINGTON'S re-
turn from Italy, when she played alternately at Drury-
lane and Covent-garden, each house cleared a similar sum.
The first year Master BETTY acted in London, each house
was estimated to have realized 30,0001. ; and the year
Miss O'NEIL first came to Covent-garden, Messrs. HARRIS
and Co. netted 20,000/.

French Plays will be again given at the Eng.
lish Opera-house, under the able direction of Mr. AR-
NOLD and Monsieur Ctour ; but they will not commence
until January. In addition to the favourites who were
imported last year, several comedians of distinguished po-
pularity from the principal theatres in Paris, have already
been engaged. The house will be newly decorated and
embellished previous to the opening.

That ponderous and unwieldy beast, the ele-
phant, has been the chief object of attraction, during the
summer, in a drama, got up for the purpose of exhibiting
his sagacity, and even his docility, at one of the Minor
Theatres in Paris. INIATHEws and YATES, while they
were in the French capital, visited this extraordinary exhi-
bition, with which they were so forcibly impressed that
they have determined to introduce either this idential ani-
mal or his pc-simile on the Adelphi stage.

A report is in circulation that the disengaged
old London favourites are about to take a theatre as a
Joint Stock concern, and the West London is spoken of
as the arena of action. DOWTON, GREEN, GATTIE,
Haymarket VINING, Miss JARMAN, Miss F. IL Kru.r,
and Mrs. WEST, are to fill the most prominent characters,
and the auxiliary parts are to be filled by the ablest and
meat respectable of the discharged Minors from the Majors.
POWELL, the father of the Drury-lane stage,
has been, for several months, living in delightful retirement
at Brighton. This veteran of the histrionic art has been
connected with the Drury-lane Companies for nearly 40
years, and what is both singular and honourable, he
never, from ill health or inattention, was prevented from
punctually discharging his duties to the public. Mr.
POWELL is now considerably upwards of 70 years of age,
and has blended with a life of activity (particularly in
pedestrianism) rigid temperance; and upon inquiry being
recently made after his health by an old acquaintance, he
replied emphatically, " Thank God ! I was never better ;
I have been connected between 30 and 40 years with
Drury-lane Theatre : am nearly 75 years of age, and never
experienced either the head or the tooth-ache!"
MR. MARTIN, THE PAINTER.—The Pre-
sident and Council of the Scottish Society of Arts at
Edinburgh have elected this distinguished gentleman an
honorary member of that institution.
Twenty-two thousand copies are printed of
each volume of the new edition of the Waverley Novels.
Ten thousand copies are sold in Edinburgh, and twelve
thousand are sent to London, of which four thousand are
sent to Ireland. Muitanv has just printed a new edition
of the Life of Napoleon, consisting of ten thousand copies.
To this edition a copious Index is added, highly advan-
tageous and useful to the readers of the life of that extra-
ordinary personage.

On Saturday seinnight, as a party were sport-
ing on the Derry-hill, near Abergavenny, their attention
was drawn to the baying of one of the dogs, which they
found to be occasioned by an old adder, about three feet
long. Mr. WATKINS, of the White Horse, Abergavenny,
shot it, and on examining the spot, eleven young ones Nverc
discovered.— Cumbrian.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY--At this moment
there are not less than seventy mills in the Wool busi-
ness, in the West of England, to be let. The depreciation
in the value of those now let is absolutely frightful. To
give an instance, a mill in the West of England, for which
the chief tenant is paying 500/. a year, is now let at 150/.
Western Times.

A timber pond has been excavated at the
Mill Bay corner of the Town's Marshes, by Mr. WAKEHA M.
The water is brought from the neighbouring ocean by
means of a tunnel. We find by a map of Plymouth, which
was drawn in 1646, that vessels heavily laden then rode
at anchor on the spot now occupied by the pond.—Decon-
port Telegraph.
A Medicinal Spring has been recently dis-
covered at Ilkeston, whose waters are of sovereign efficacy,
particularly in gout, rheumatism, and cases of nervous de-
bility.—Sheffield Mercury.

The Welsh mail in crossing the Passage on
Thursday se'nnight, was on the water three hours, in con-
sequence of the strong and adverse winds.—Cambrian.
AFFAIR or HONOUR.—Yesterday, a dis-
pute on affairs of public interest took place between two
official gentlemen, when such language was applied by
one to the other, as induced the person most offended to
send a message. The matter was fortunately heard of by
a gentleman connected with the police establishment, and
both parties were bound to keep the peace.—Dublin
Morning Register.

BARNSLEY, OCT. 23.—A letter from a cor-
respondent of this day states, that within the last forty-
eight hours the following persons have been taken int()
custody on suspicion of being concerned in the attack upon
ROBERT SYKES'S house, at Dodsworth :—JOHN SNOW-
DEN, JOSEPH ELLISON, HENRY WARD, WM. RICHARDS,
and THOMAS BEcKErr, who are expected to Le examined
to-morrow. ISAAC ASHTON was permitted to be at large
on bail for fourteen days, on account of indisposition, but
it was intimated to him that, at the expiration of that
period, he would be committed for three months, fur using
intimidating language to some weavers.—Leeds Mercury.

On Monday last as the gamekeeper of the
Earl of FALMOUTH was looking for a deer, he observed
something in the river which attracted his attention, and in-
duced him to take a boat and go off; and at the distance of
100 yards fired at it, and killed it, when he found it to be
a very fine young seal (plioca vitulina), about four feet and
a half long. His Lordship has presented the animal to the
Museum of the Royal Institution in this town.— Cornwall
Gazette.

Two important seizures of silk took place at
Southampton last week, amounting, it is supposed, to se-
veral thousand pounds. The first on Monday, when three
out of ten cases, brought over by the George the Fourth,
and supposed to be wine, and were found full of the finest
French silks ; the second on Thursday, when a similar
cargo was found secreted in some cases of eggs, which were
brought over in a small French vessel.

It may, in many respects, be advantageous that
the attention of the public should be called to the eligi-
bility of many of the unfortunate refugees as teachers of
languages. When they first arrived their imperfect know-
ledge of our language in a great measure shut up this
mode of relief to them ; but a long residence here has fully
qualified them for such employment. It is a well-known
fact that the most illiterate foreigners have long practised
in this country as teachers of the European languages in
private academies. Men who have served in the capacity
of cooks or valets in their own country have here set up
as tutors. With the refugees the public have very high
guarantees of respectability, and there are among them men
of first-rate accomplishments. Two refugees of rank have,
as professors of the Italian and Spanish languages at the
City of London Literary and Scientific Institution, taught
large classes with so much success, that the members look
forward with the warmest expectations of seeing the ex-
ample of the institution generally followed for the benefit
of the public, as well as for the honour of the national cha-
racter,
