SIR THOMAS PICTON.

The Monument voted by Parliament, without one
dissenting voice, as a proof of national gratitude for'
the eminent services of this truly distinguished and
gallant Officer, has just been completed. It is erected
on the north side of the great dome in the Cathedral
Church of St. Paul, and is near that of the brave Ad-
miral Hoop. The Monument itself is at once highly
honourable to the national character, and justly de-
scriptive of the merits of the illustrious deceased. On
a pedestal of beautiful white marble is a finely exe-
lcuted bust of the gallant General, Which is admitted
by all who knew him to be an admirable likeness.
On the left is the figure of a veteran soldier, as large
as life, exulting in the ever-memorable success of the
British Army on the 16th, 17th, and 18th of June,
in 181.5, while his countenance, at the same time
shews his anguish of heart for the loss of this brave
Officer. On the right Britannia, holding a palm of
victory in her right hand, points out the hero to the
spectator as a proper object of imitation, while Fame
is about to crown him with a wreath of laurel. The
Monument is admirably executed, and does infinite
credit to the talents of Mr. GAHAGAN, the architect.

CovENT-GARDEN.—Miss GantnE, whose success
at the Bath and Dublin Theatres had already been
much talked of in town, made her debut at this Thea-
tre, last night, as Polly, in the Beggars' Opera. Her
success was not only decisive, but brilliant. Her voice
possesses great compass, and must soon acquire from
study and experience increased power and flexibility.
She was encored so frequently, that fatigue, and the
necessary agitation of a debut, somewh•st depressed
her spirits towards the close. In " Cease your fun-
ning,' the great trial of skill and voice in this Opera,
she was encored, with the utmost applause—she proved
her execution and resources of organ fully adequate
to this difficult composition, and will display still
more power and freedom, when she becomes some-
what familiarized with her new situation. Her figure
is very advantageous, and the beauty of her. counte-
nance has that charm of expression which belongs
only to eyes of oriental darkness and vivacity.
T. Coolie appeared (by permission) in Macheath, and
acquitted himself with his usual cleverness. The
Opera, in consequence of Miss GREENE'S remarkable
success, was announced for repetition on the evening
immediately following, amidst lively and universal
expressions of approbation.
H AVM ARKET.—Yesterday evening SHERIDAN'S el-
quisite Opera of the Duenna was performed at this
Theatre; and thus Mr. BRAII AM had another oppor-
tunity of giving a happy display of his vocal powers,
in the character of Don Carlos, in which he had so
often on former occasions delighted a London au-
dience. The part of Clara was most ably sustained
by Miss CORR! : this Lady is an accomplished singer,
and perfect mistress of the science of music. Mr.
GRAY made his first appearance on these boards in
the character of Don Antonio. He possesses a good
figure, walks the Stage with some degree of confi-
dence, and appeals easy in his manner; as well as
habituated to the business of an actor. On the whole,
the performance passed off with considerable ap-
plause. Halt-price is nay/ admitted. Between the
Opera and the Farce, a charniing duet was sung in
a most admirable style by Mr. BRAHAM and Miss
Conat. They vk et e encored and rapturously applaude4

ZUNBRIDGE WELLS, SEPTEMBER 19.

This place has filled very rapidly with fashionable
company ever since the House of Lords adjourned,
and several noble families have taken up a tempo-
rary residence here during the adjournment. The
Duke of SUSSEX is at present here, and yesterday
there was agrand Ball given at the Roomsonder his
patronage. Tunbridge Wells was always the fa-
vourite watering-place of the QUEEN, when Princess
of WALES, and we understand it to be her M AJES*
TY'S intention to visit us here again in the course of
this autumn. This report has produced considerable
joy among the inhabitants, who have always been
particularly attached to the cause of her MAJESTY.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL arrived here on &urn day
for a few. days. His Lordship rides about on horse.
back a great deal, and appears always very studiously
engaged in deep meditation.
