CoVENT-GAIIDEN.

Miss F. H. KELLY performed the part of Juliet list
night, and was extremely well received by a respectable
audience. She was highly applauded in her celebrated
p6int, when, on hearing of Romeo's banishment, she
exclaims—

" Oh ! what a wretch was I to chide him so."
The parting scene with Romeo was finely sustained,
and Juliet; reflections on the plobable dangers and ine-
vitable horrors of the vault to uhich she was about to en-
trust herself, were beautifully and powerfully expressed.
Mr. KaMBLE'S performance of • the Lover produced
all its usual effect.

BARBAROUS MURDER.a EAST GRINSTEAD.

A circumstance has just occurred at Forest-row, near
East Grin-stead, which, for wanton and unnatural bar-
barity, stands almost unparalleled in the annals of crime.
Mr. —, of Forest-row, quarrelled with his nursery.
maid, a few days ago, but the quarrel had subsided, and
he thought nothing more about it. Saturday evening,
however, a young child of the family was missing, and
the distresied parents made the most laborious, but
fruitless search after it, during the whole of the
night. It was not, however, till the next morning that
the cause of the child's disappearance was discovered,
when, to the grief of its parents, it was found dead in
the boiler that is used for washing. The maid was
immediately apprehended on suspicion, and, we under-
stand, has since confessed the crime, adding, that she
did it to spite her master! The disclosure ci this horrid
circumstance has excited the greatest possible interest
in the neighbourhood, which has unfortunately been,
within the last few years, the theatre of very many atro-
cious crimes. It is a renal kable circumstance, that the
Bible Society, and also the various means adopted for
extenciing education on a liberal scale among the poor,
have met with leis encouragement in this, than in many
other country neighbourhoods.
