THEATRES.

COVTNT GARDEN....-111i13 M. Tara appeared to
great advantage last night, as the heroine of Loco in
a Village. Her Rosetta is equal, it not superior, to
any of her former efforts: and was distinguished by
some touches of naivete and natural feeling in the
acting, scarcely less striking than those her musical
talents impart to her singing. PHILIPPA way the
Young Meadows of the l'iece, and was more success-
ful than in some late attempts which brought him
into a direct comparison with BRAILAM. The Operas
lin the whole cast of the dramatis persona, was strong
and effective, and deserved the success it met with.
'The House was well attended. •
SurtellY THEAr RE--This .Theatre closed on Mon-
day night, under the auspices of their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess of KENT, who were
ushered to and from their Dor by the Proprietor,
amid the acclamations of a most brilliant assemblage,
two-thirds of which were Ladies. The evening was
appropriated for the benefit of Mrs. DIBDIN, and the
House was crowded with the best company, at a
very early hour. God save the king was rapturously
sun,' at the entrance and departure of the Royal Pa.
Irons, who, as heretofore, expressed their high ap-
probation of the whole performance. Mrs. MOUNTAIN
was never seen nor heard to greater advantage than
on this occasion. Her songs were received with reite-
rated tokens of delight, and all called for a second
time. All our old favourites were equally success-
ful in their several exertions. At the conclusion of
the second Piece Mr. T. theism delivered the follow-
ing Address, which was loudly applauded :
" Lamas elm Grin m/Jew—l have this evening to offer you
the usual respectful tribute of any acknowledgment for your kind
favours during the closing season, under auspices so honourable,
and patronage so illustrious, that, conscious as I am your repeated
approbation within these walls, and your favourable reports be-
yond
them, have been the original causes of the respectability
this House has attained, I shall, fearing you might doubt the
truth of formal and embellished professions,entreat you will ere-
" dit me, when I simply say, I sincerely and gratefully thank you.
" It has been customary at the close of a theatrical campaign
to enumerate to an audience the efforts which have been made
to attract and amuse them : I don't know whether such retro-
spection would become me, but I have to advance one proud and
gratifying fact, which is, that all our humble attempts have been
I met more than half way by your liberal indulgence and decided
approbation. For the ensuing season, in addition to the nume-
rous favourites you have hitherto sanctioned, several Performers
of distinguished abilities are engaged, or ip treaty ; and many
promising Dramatic (or, I believe, I may only say Mclo-drama-
tic) Productions are in a forward state of arrangement. My at-
tached friends and allies, the Performers and Artists of the Boa-
blishment, whose generous exertions I must again thank, as
having procured me all your favours, desire to be conjoined with
me in fervent recollection of the support you have collectively
and individually accorded therm; and assuring you, while respect-
fully taking leave till Christmas, that in our future operations, al-
though it may not be in the power of mortals to command success,
it shall ever be our firm and honest endeavour to deserve it."

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLoucusneft
has left Bagshot Park on a visit to the Princess
SOPHIA, at Windsor.

The Marquis of EXETER'S success at Newmarket,
last week, was unprecedented, as his Lordship won
every thing his horses started for.
On Monday se'nnight, Major HAWKER'S boat on
wheels was going down Morsted-Hill, on its way to
Brighton, to embark for France, the horse took
fright, by which one of his men was thrown out, run
over, and so severely bruised, that it became neces-
sary to have him removed to the County Hospital.

A melancholy accident happened in the neighbour-
hood of Cannobies on Friday week. A Gentleman,
on his return from shooting, having a loaded gun in
his hand, met in the road a young woman of his ac-
quaintance, whom he attempted to kiss. A kind of
struggle ensued, in which some part of the unfortu-
nate girl's apparel came in contact with the trigger;
the gun went off, and its contents lodging in her
breast, she expired on the spot !
Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Upholder's
Arms, in Poland-street, on the body of Mr. J. DA-
VIDGE, tailor and draper, and a very old inhabitant
Of the Parish, who, in crossing Piccadilly on Sunday
last, on his way to St. James's Church, was killed,
by being knocked down and rode over by a horse
which had previously broken the shafts and harness
of a gig, by which means a Lady and Gentleman
were thrown out of it, and received considerable da-
, znage. Verdict, Accidental Death. Deonand Is.
