111 E THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE --;The Tr Agedy of- Macbeth was
represented last flight at .this Theatre, and though
K FAN sustained toe part of the ambitious Thane,
there was but a very scanty audience.—WALLACK
haying been suddenly taken ill, the part of Mal-
colm was assigned, at a short notice, to BARNARD,
who acquitted hints: If respectably, as he gene-
rally does.—Miss MACAULEY, for the first time,
made her appearance.tn Lady Macbeth; and justi-
fied the favourable oiriuion which her'previous
exertions had exei,ed. When :we consider the
unparalleled ,xcellerice of Mrs. SliinoNs in this
part , and which must be strong in puhlic remem-
brance, it must be no small degree of merit that
can enable a successor to make a tolerable stand.
Miss MACAULEY, however, did so, and was very
well received.

ENGLISH OPERA•HOUSE.—After the represen-
tation of the Indian Ballet, in which, -the native
American Warriors again displayed the military
op rations of their country in such a manlier as to
excite peculiar attention, the popular old Drama
of Love in a Village introduced rt new Rosetta tti
the town. This fair candidate for public favour•
is the daughter of Mr. FREEZE, an Artist of' well-
known merit, and the wife o'f Mr. HENRY KENT-
soli of Mr. STEPHEN KEMBLE.—Mrs. H.
KEMBLE possesses a very sweet voice, and it ap-
pears Ito he of considerable compass. She seems
to have. been well instructed, and in her singing
she does not attr•nlpt too much. We hope s-he
will adhere to this simple style, for the modern
School tires, and even sickens, by the luxuriance
of its decorations. Her face is expressive, her
eyes are animated, and her deportment is easy,
though somewhat redundant. She gave the Airs
of Rosetta wish taste and ex;wession, and her
acting was marked by spirit and feeling. .She in-
troduced a new anti very difficult Air, composed
by Cott RI, which the sung with great

cinda, were .all truly 'in character,_ and were
much applauded. The Arcadian Saloon, with
two fountains playing in the central walk, consti-
tutes a very pleasing and refreshing scene, amid
the heat of a crowded Theatre. We forgot to
notice yesterday that Miss CAREW is engaged at
this Theatre, and' she possesses so touch merit,
that, it we could wonder at the caprice and tally
of Managers, we should he surprised that she was
suffered to leave Covent-Garden Theatre.

ELOPEMENT.—There has seldom occurred an
event that has excited more surprise and regret,
within a particular circle of action than the
elopement which we mentioned last %reek as hav-
ing taken place in the Musical Would. The Lady
had maintained the utmost purity of character,
and was generally considered as.much attached to
her husband anti her children, six in number. It
seems that she had formed an attachment to a
young man, touch younger than herself, a,.d that,
under pretence of visiting her children, she re-
treated with her gallant. The husband quitted
town in inconsolable dejection. It is impossible
not to look with pity on the misconduct of the
unhappy woman, who hax sacrificed character,
affection; and perhaps subsistence, to the it►dlul-
gence of her fatal passion; for if her gallant
should desert her, as may naturally be expected in
a short time, it will be impossible for her to re-
cover her rank in society, even had she resolu-
tion enough to make the attempt—so that i►er
talents must he useless; and her misery irreme-
diable.

THOMAS SUYMMER CHAMPNESS,
anonymous paragraph was sent to us, and was
inserted in our Paper of Thursday last,
that tbis Gentleman had commenced no active
canvass for the Borough of flindon, as the col-
league of Mr. BEctuattn, of Foothill. It is
not • wonderful that Mr. CHAMPNESS should he
anxious to contradict s,eh a report, for very ob-
vious reasons, and we have authority to say that
it is wholly without foondatiou, Mr. Cu AMPNFSS
not having had the least idea of offering himself
for the Borough of flindon, or any acquaintance
with the person mentionud as his intended col-
league. The Jame paragraph, and in the same
hand-writing, was srot to a respectable Mot niog
l'Aper, in which it was also inserted. It is
diiii-
cult to conceive the purpose for which this fella.
C1613S paragraph was written, as it could not but
lead to a contradiction by. no means gratifying .to
the person whom it seems intended to serve, it,
indeed, it was not an insidious attempt to briag
his name unnecessarily into public notice. At ell
events it is an act of Justice to Mr. CHAbIPNES4 to
give to it the most positive coutradictiou,
