superb, and the costume of the characters was strictly
observed, with the exception of that of Alfred,who is
represented as a traveller,with the regalia underneath
his cloak, and not in the garb of a shepherd. lie is
introduced in disguise, falls in love, subsequently dis-
closes who he is, fights, supported by his trusty friends,
and vanquishes his enemies. The dancing was admi-
rable, and the Ballet was received with unqualified
applause by the most crowded and brilliant audience
that has graced rl►e Theatre this season►. At the con-
clusion a novel circumstance occurred, at least in this
country. M. AUMER, the Ballet Master, was called

came here on Mundey. evening, Ai 24th Inst. and
the first news that I heard was, that he,Wasoxariiin. g
—not exactly so, however, in point of fact ; fur le
died on the 26th inst. But, in fine,' riur great tra-
gedian is no more! And he, who In histrionic art
could so well depict the final: pangs of nature, has
been called Orkin torn to act the paft in sad reality,
I have seen the Physician who attended him, and;
anxious to obtain particulars of the latter days of:so
great and so worthy a character, for my ostrisatii-
faction, and for year information, I hastily subjoin
the result. On Saturday, the 23d instant, he' wit;
in his own estimation, so very comfortable, that, on
sending away his hairdresser, he requested that he
would say to his friend, Mr. PRECOTE, that it would
give him pleasure'to learn, that after the operation
of shaving, his friend was as well as he was. 'ln fact,
he seemed on that day in particularly good spirits.--'
The next trr rning he rose apparent)) quite well,
breakfasted at nine, and subsequently went to an ad-.
joining room to speak to Mrs. ICEstEr-c ; and then re-
turning to his room was obieryed to totter in his gait.
Mrs. KEMBLE noticed this with anxiety, and assisted
him to his chair, and when seaied he took up a number
of GalignanisAlessenger; but getting worse, his friend
and physician, Dr. ScitoLe, was sent for, who at rived
instantly, and found him in the position described,
but already altered and exhibiting very unfavourable
symptoms—his ..left side had suffered a decided
attack, and be could with difficulty articulate._.
He seemed extremely anxious to spare the feelings of
Mrs. KEMBLE. Dr. SCHOLE, with the assistance of his
old attached servant GEORGE, helped him to his bed,
and, in the act of conducting him there, a second at
tack took place, so suddenly, that his clothes were
obliged to be cut asunder, in order that he might the
more speedily be let blood. But nature was fast ex-
hausting ; nor could he ever make use of his speech
after a few words which he had uttered on Doctor •
Semmes arrival. He, however, assented or dissented
by signs of the head, until within two hours of his
complete extinction. His last intelligible words were,
George, George and you may imagine the feelings
of an attached servant to an excellent master under
such circumstances. In fine, a third attack, on Wed-
nesday, the 26th instant, just 48 hours after the first,
proved fatal ; and though to a stranger he might
appear to suffer, it is the opinion of the Doctor that
be was long insensible to acute feelings of pain. The
English Clergyman was also present. I knew Mr.
KEMBLE only as a public character, and consequently
can give you no particulars of his domestic life here.

1 understand, however, that he was particulaily
esteemed, and is much regretted in this city, by all
classes, and almost venerated by the lower, from the
urbanity of his manners. He had imagined that the
climate of Italy would prove beneficial to his health ;'
but having arrived in Rome thtee months since, under
unfavourable circumstances of the season, he became
worse and worse. so that the English Physician, Dr.
CLaftice, hurried him away- to.retuin to Lausanne,
svhere•he had been comparatively well. His occura-
,
' tions here were his books and his garden—the latter
Was his predilection; and it was resorted to by him
with the fit st rays of the sun, and kept in a state of
cultivation rarely to be surpassed. The funeral is to
take place to-morrow, and will doubtless be nume-
rously and respectfully attended."
Mr. KENiBLE was born at I'rescot, in Lancashire,
in the year 1757. his father was a Catholic, and
educated him in the same faith, placing hint first at
a Catholic Seminary in Staffordshire, and afterwards
at the English College at Douay, where he" distin-
guished himself by the strength of-his mernoVy and
' the accuracy of his elocution. When about twenty
years of age he left the College and repaired to Eng-
land, anxious to display his histrionic talents; but
his father, though Manager of some country theatres,
gave him no encouragement. • However, he deter.
mined to become a child of Thespis, and joined an
itinerant company at Wolverhampton, where he
made his first appearance in the character of Theo-
dosius, in " The Force of Love." After sharing in
those vicissitudes which await the country player,
Mr. KaMBLE repaired to London, and in 1784,
made his first appearance at Drury-Lane Theatre,
in the character of Hamlet. In 1788, he was ap-
pointed Manager of the Theatre. In 1803, he
purchased a share of Covent-Garden Theatre,
and succeeded to the management of that con-
cent, which he conducted with great attention and
ability. From this time to the yea'. 1817, when he
took his final leave of the Stage, his perfOniiance of
the leading characters in tragedy formed one of the
richest histrionic treats the metropolis afforded. On
his talents as an Actor we might safely enlarge, but . .
we find them thus briefly and accurately summed up
in the inscription on the piece of .plate presented to
him on his retirement from the Stage, , of which •
(says the Inscription) for thirty-six years Itefitas the
ornament and pride, which, to his leattning, taiste(and
genius, was indebted for its present state of retire-
ment, and which, under his auspices, consecrated to
the support of the Itgitimitepramb, end mote.par-
ticularly to the glory of SHAkSPEa RI, attairiiil to a
degree of splendour and prosperity before unknown."
