performing several evolutions, with their.usual cot-

Commanding Ofliceo having previnuoly ordered the
medals for distrioution, spoke as follows :

" I am convinced words are useless to impress upon the nolnd
of each hero the value of this proud mark of distinction which
will adorn his bosom. It will be transmitted to posterity as the
reward gained, to commemorate- thp triumph of British valour

A few days since, at Wrotbam Heath, lent, a

miles in twenty-one hours ; which he completed
within the time alloy/NJ him. In consequence et this

to start at Farleigh, near Maidstone, to go 100 ,Niles

Boots, laced on the sides, were worn by all the to,

COVSNT:GARDEN THEATML-011 S.iltirday even-
ing was produced at this 'Theatre, a new O:atnrio,
called !he Intertenion, taken from MILTI4N's Paradise
Lout. The music is the composition of Mr. M. I'.
IING; and it decidedly surpasses all his former pi o.
ductions. The Composer appears to have caught
the inspiration cf the Path and throug'.out has
strongly pourtrayed the opposite effects of grandeur]
and beauty. The Overture and Chortrsses, particu-
larly that of " Hooey rang with !Jubilee," are of
and impressive. Mr. Batituau wa, truly great in the
air •of Tile Atereoriort. Miss STePHENS completely
.enraptured the audience itt the beautiful air of Ewe's
Lamentation, and the whole Piece was hailed. with
the most universal and descried applause.
