COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. •

_
That delightfdl syreo and excellent actress, Miss PAvon, took her
benefit last night at this Ths.atrs, and we were glad to live that an
unfeeling, if not a miligtiant"sepitk thii Lady, by one of, our
contemporaries, did not in the Vast dlitillvather of that support to
which her talents entitle her} for the house was crowded in every
part. The performance was the Siege of Belgrade, in which that Lady
took the part of Catke-ine, powerfully supported by BRAHAM as the
Seraskier, Madame VSSTIM4 as LAI, and Miss Love as Ghita. BRA-
HAM acquitted himself to admiration ; he was encored in hi: cele-
brated song," Will lane *tit heart is beating." Mks l'ATos was in
excellent voice, and was loudly applauded throughout. She was
encored in " Rest, Warrior, Rest," which she introduced. After the
Opera, WIIIRR presided at the performance of his Overture to Der
Frieschn tz, which was performed in admirable style. A Concert then
followed, in which Miss Pam's sang to admiration the beautiful
song of " Black eyed Susan." BRAHAM was encored in "Scots whi
hn'e," and " Blue Bonnets over the Border."

The petit Comedy of ('harks the Second concluded the entertain-
ments of the evening with infinite eclat ; it was well performed in
all its parts. Miss PATon in "Lo, here the gentle Lark." was very
warmly and deservedly applauded; as, indeed, she was most
rapturously in all her songs; and, as often as this sweet syrrn
invites her (Hen& to a similar banquet, we sincerely hope that,
among her numerous admirers," A' the Blue Bonnets will be over
the ilorder."
