As the friends of Sir THOMAS GRAHAM will natu-
rally feel anxious from the newspaper report of his
being wounded, we are happy in being able to give
the following, from the best authority :—On the 25th
of June, at the attack of Tolosa; a ball grazed his
hip, bt.t which did not prevent him being on horse.
back on that and several succeeding days. The only
consequence from it, on the 4th of last month, was
his requesting a few days rest to get rid of the in-
flammation occasioned by the contusion.

LYCEUM THEATRE.—Last night, after "The Jovial
Crew," a new interlude was produced, called gi The
Carpenter." The action of this little piece is very
short. A young Carpenter is seen enamoured of the
daughter of an old Carpenter. The father, accom-
panied by a Scaramouch, surprises the lovers, pursues
the young Carpenter round the stage, and striking
at him, lets his cudgel fall on the head of the Scara-
mouch. The father retires, and the lovers get toge-
ther again ; the old man re-enters, and the Carpenter
is di "bvered concealed in a closet. On falling on his
knees, he obtains forgiveness, is permitted to embrace
the Scaramouch, and is united to his mistress. A dance
then takes place, in honour of their nuptials. This
dance «Thu Luncht," is the chief attraction of this in-
terlude. It is in itself pleasing, and as a representa-
tion of a Portuguese dance, so prevalent in that coun-
try, as to he called national ; it may be entitled to
much favour, and be viewed by the curious with
great interest and delight. A shawl, or rather a
handkerchief dance, was very much applauded, and
the audience seemed generally delighted with the
exertions of Mr. MOREAU (under whose direction
"The Carpenter" is produced), Miss LUPINO, Miss
DELANCEY, and Miss BRISTOW.
