Tuesday, the Lord Ma}or Elect, WILLIAM . VE-

NABLES, El. attended by his ChaFlain, the Rev. 51r.
Ihttov, several of the Aldermen, and City Law Offi-

cm, was preserved to the LORD CHANCELLOR, for the
purpose of receiving his MAJESTY'S approbation of his
election, as Lona MAYOR for the year ensuing. His
Lordship received them at his residence in Hamilton-

plsee, with the most distinguished kindness and urba.
nity. Alter taking refreshment, the company retired.
The weather has bt en as tempestuous on the Conti-
nent as in this cuuntry, and the districts s'tuated on the
great livers have been threatened with calamities simi-

tar to those from which they suffered so severely last
year. The Rhine had risen nine feet in two days at
Miinheim, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, while in
other places. a fall of snow had taken place, which
broke the trer;s still Offered with foliage, and therefore
unprepared for the storm. It will be lamentable if,
tvhile the States General of the Netherlands are em.

onyed in receiving reports on the means of repairing
the damage caused by the maritime inundations of last
year, they be ovei taken by a similar catastrophe from
the great rivers by which their territory is intersected.
On the '2lst of last month such a heavy snow fell in
Beaumont, in Hainanit, that vast damage was dontin
the forests by the breaking of the branches; the fruits
have also euff•red severely. It is teased that similar
damage has been done above Chimay.
The following anecdote of Sheridan, the authenticity
of which is undoubted, is not generally known :
Soon after the marriage of filteridan with Miss Hester
Ogle, they went on a visit to lier father, the Dean of
Winchester. During their stay at the Deanery, a party
met there one evening, the " lion" of which was a kind
musical genius—the Fife-Major of siregiment guar.
toed in the town. With this man's talents and per-
formance on several instrum‘nts Miss Ogle, the elder
*ter of Mrs. Sheridan, was more than commonly de-
liBhterl, and expressed her approbation and applause
with all that vivacity and energy whch was natural to
her clutacter. Sheridan's attention was soon attracted
Inwards Ler Lrok at Susan," said he, " she is quite
I,) raptures—give me a pencil and a scrap of paper."—
in a moment he produced the following impromptu:
By Heaven above, our %he's in love,
.And nothing can assuage her;
She's foran'd a plan for that smart nun,
I mean that gay Fifealsior !
But, haa I again that merry strain—.
Novi I'll het any wager,
•
That ()Tenure has made it sure--

--I wish you joy, Fife-Major
This was Toted capital, and carried in high glee to the Dean,
who, though as fully alive to the wit and talent of Sheridan as any
t'dY, might have been as well pleased, perhaps, had his daughter
selected a more prudent partner—f 4 Give me the paper a moment,"
"id the Deals. when he had hiard the lines, and immediately
aitti aAldtessed himself to the laughing circle, saying, 's how bear
my stanza—

rice mother ales' with weeping eyes,
1 wish she had been sager;
Butaiuce 'ds done, and you're my son,
Gun bless you both, Fife.hlaiur !
At the same time extending one band towards the unconselows:
life-Major and the other inwards Sheridan, so as to include them
16411 in the smut benediction. Sheridan did ne& much relish the
."'Plied association. •

HAYMAIIKtT I HEATRE.

The revival of Munmtv's comedy of Knotn.your own!
Mimi, restored to Its last night that gaiety. with which
here we cannot dispense. and the Little Theatre was.
itself again. The comedy was extremely well got up.
VINING was lively in the whim4cat versatility of
Millomour, and P. FARItEN quite at home in the bus-
tling, confident, voluble character of Dashwoad. Little
WILLIAMS did, as usual, judiciously what he had to do
in the pan of the mature widower, Itygrove; Mrs.
GLOVER was excellent in the haughty and in:riguing
widow, Mrs. Mondry; and Miss P. GLOVER was
pleasing and interesting in the sentimental Miss Nevi[.
But the star:of the night was Madame VESTRIS, who,
if she was not in Lady Bell exactly the:being of high
fashion and accomplishment which in the closet we
should anticipate, was everything else, even to.adinira!
tion, which we could desire in the character. Her arch
liveliness—her alternate frankness and. coquetry—her
fascinating lutes and her tantalising caprices, were alike
in accordance with the design of her author; and whe-
ther she trilled in bursts of apparently spontaneous song,
or sported in the giddy vivacity of dialogue, she ap-
peared alike the witching mistress of those arts and
charms destined to subdue the levity, and fix the wea.
ther-cock versatility of the lover she had to deal with.
In the gUitar song, introduced in the scene of reciprocal
coquetry between the plotting sisters and the wavering
lover, she shelved how much the actress can assist the
singer, as well as how much the charm of song can be
assistant to good acting ; and she was, sue usual, very
deservedly encored. The comedy was announced for
repetition with unanimous applause.

NEW CATHOLIC ASSoCIATION•The campaign be-
gins
anew to-day, and if we mistake not, it will be carried on with
still more vigour mid activity than the last. An opening speech,

were mentioned for purposei of arrangement in the hearing or
decision, was that of

DE BEAUVOIR V. RHODES.
The case has been frequently before the Court, and
has been argued to a conclusion. The question turned
up• n the validity of a building lease granted to the
defendant by the father of the plaintiff. while the grantor
was, according to the allegations oldie petition, labour•
ing under mental imbecility, the objett of the petition
bein, of course, to make, the lease void.
The Limb CHANCELLIR observed upon k, th.at it
was a case involving points of the deepest importance
to questions of property depending upon leases, granted
by parties who became suhjrct to mental aberration or
imbecility. He was now in the course of reading
through the whole of the papers, and be hoped to give
judgment in about a wetk.
