COVEN T GARDEN.--The School for Scandal was repeated- last night to an overflowing audience. Mr. FARESN'S Sir Peter Teazle was, as usual, excellent. The Burgomaster of Saardam followed, and seemed to have increased in favour.  The Musical Festival at Hanley, in tl:e Potteries, on Wednesday and Thursday last, eTcecded the most sanguine expectations of the Committee, who projected and matured it at their individual risk, with a view to benefit the funds of the National School at that place. So:ne portion of most of the first families'. in the nei2;hbom hood attended on one or both days. It is a remarkable circumstance, that the salary of the Clerkship of the HOLIS'2 of Commons should exceed that of the Speaker, by one thousand and ten pounds a year—that of the former being C 7,000, and . the latter 8,010. .  The Emperor of AUSTRIA rays for apartments to himself and his suite at Aik-l-Chapelle, including Prince METTERNICH, 45,0 m) francs. His Majesty will occupy the house of Mr. Bramertz, a small but elegant residence in o:te of the best streets of the city, towards the south ski!. The Emperor of Russia has engaged two houses, one in the town (that of Madame Claus), fur which he pays 30,000 francs ; and one beyond the walls, about a mile towards Louis berg, for which he is to pay 26,000 more. The suite of his Majesty ALEXANDER will be more numerous than that of any of the other Sovereigns. The Russian Minister at the Court of Berlin, M. ALopEus, is already there. The King of PRUSSIA has engaged a house at 18,000 francs (that of Madame Offerman); and his Minister, Prince lIARDENHERG, that of M. Bettendorff, at 28,000. Lord CasTLEnEacal is to occupy the hotel of the banker Schlosser, and the Duke of WELLINGTON that of the burgo-master M. Guaira, each at a rent of between 28 and 30,000 francs. The Doke of RICHELIEU is to occupy the house of M. Pules, for which he pays 22,000 francs ; Ihis suite, it is said, will bun very limited.  Monday se'nnight a young Lady of very respectable appearance and address, who has been imposing on the humanity and good•nature of several worthy individuals in the neighbourhood of Preston, su.idenly took her leave, and is supposed to have gone to Liverpool. She came about a month ago from La:lI i.aster, and after remaining in Preston about a week, went to Walton-le-dale, where she called at an inn, and began to exercise her art by assuming a very frantic behaviour, and apparently attempting to commit suicide. Her strange conduct being made known to the neighbourhood, she was taken into the house of a very respectable family, where every means Were used to alleviate het seeming distress. When the assumed paroxism was over, she told a very plausible and piteous tale of having been seduced from her home, (one of the Cirst inns ia Birmingharn,) by a Gentleman who of erwards deserted her ; that she was pregnant and dare not return to her guardian uncle; with many other moving circumstances. Although some parts of her story did nut hang very well together, every 0:1'2 who. saw her sympathised in her ,ituation, and letters were written with a view to bring about a reconciliation with her supposed friends. She, however, spared her hospitable benefactors any further trouble, by taking her departure, Frobably intending to practise several impositions on the be.sevoleat credulity of other individuals. We understand she had imposed, in a like manner, upon several persons at and near Lancaster, before the came to Preston, and that she had actually received money from them to pay her coach-far.^ to Liverpool.
