The plot is briefly as follows : Edmund Villiers (Mr. H. KEHELE) is engaged to his cousin, Emmeline (Mrs. WEST) with the approbation of his uncle Colonel Villiers (Mr. Gar:rtz). . Flora, a young Lady brought up by the Colonel, loves Edmund at the same time ; but her passion not being returned, she cherishes in its place the passion of revenge, sa crifices her virtue to Sir Jasper Jay (Mr. HARLEY), a modern Dandy, and attempts to destroy the cha. racter of Edmund, and break off his intended mar-. riage with Emmeline, by representing to his uncle that he was her seducer. The artifice takes partial effect. Colonel Villiers forbids Edmund his house, opposes the marriage, and favours the addresses of Sir Jasper Jay to Emmeline. The parties are about to be united, when Captain O'Callaghan, (Mr. JOHN JOHNSTONE), having heard the dying confession of the repentant Flora, relates the particulars to the Co ' lonel, who makes amends to Edmund for the harsh ness with which he had treated him, and presents him with the fair Emmeline as a compensation.— I Such is the general outline. There are, of course, many incidents in a five-act piece, which this brief sketch does not comprehend. We should state, how- I ever, that Sir Jasper Jay, the Dandy, fixes a direct insult upon Edmund, the man of honour, who refuses to fight him, on the score of morality, but subse -1 quently fights for him when he is attacked by rob . - hers. Poor Edmund makes a sort of epigram to this effect, which embraces almost the whole of the argu ment advanced throughout the Play against the prac tice of duelling—The principal amusement was de rived from Mr. HARLEY'S representation of the Dandy—the idea was popular, and the pre-disposi tion of the public to laugh at this novel and effemi nate puppyism, afforded the performer a latitude of, strict grimace and affectation, which under any other' circumstances might have been deemed There was a great deal of laughter - which we now allude, and we have saying, that whatever degree of the Comedy, this part, or rather it by . Mr. HARLEY, will constitute traction. The scenes are short - deemed extravagant.

COVENT-GARDEN.—Saturday night was produced a New Musical Drama (in three acts), called The Heart of Mid-Lothian, founded on the highl . y popu lar Novel of that name. The following is a list of the Dramatis Persona : Lord Oakdale - - - Wilmot (his Secretary) - - The Laird of Dumbiedikes - George Robertson - David Deans Ratcliff - Sharpitlow - Saddletree - Mrs. lialchristle Effie Deans - Jeanie Deans Iladge Wildfire Mr. EGZITON. Mr. Cossua. Mr. LISTON. Mr. Micas Aim Mr. Trims. Mr. Einar. Mr. DI-ANWAR.% Mr. Suistoss. Mrs. DAVENPORT. Miss STEPHENS. MI BRUNTON. Mrs. C. Kum,. ... I The Pfece opens with a representation of the rioters clamour ing and exulting in the recent murder of Jock Porteous. Dum biedikes coming in their way, is'only saved from being made another victim to their fury by the sudden appearance and in terposition of the fictitious Madge Wildfire, George Robertson. The two sisters, Effie and Jeanie Deans, then appear, and in a long and affecting dialogue devslope the misfortune and disgrace of the former, with the loss of her infant. Dumbiedikes, on his return from Edinburgh, is met by Robertson, who terrifies him by horrible menaces into delivering a messato to Effie to meet hint at twelve at night at Muschat's Cairn. Meantime Effie has been arrested and conveyed to prison, on a charge of infanticide. Jeanie learning the communication from her sister's supposed seducer, resolves to meet him at the place appointed. Dumbie dikes sets oat to the same place, for the purpose of affording her protection, should a necessity arise; and Sharpitlaw, with a guard of soldiers, also proceeds thither, for the purpose of seizing Robertson, under the guidance of Ratcliff and Madge Wildfire. Robertson, engaged in explaining to Jeanie the difficulties of her sister's situation, and the means of extri cating her, is alarmed by the boisterous singing of Madge, who had caught a suspicion of her companion's design, breaks away, and, aftsr a hot pursuit, effects his escape.— The distressing interview of the sisters in the Tolbeoth is then represented, during which Ratcliff suggests the means whereby the one may save the other's life. Lord Oakdale, who had been sent down a Commissioner, with full powers to administer the Law, now admits Deans to an audience. and unfolds on what a nee thread his daughter's life hangs. The old man reproves hint for exciting so arduous a struggle between duty and paternal af &aloft, and resolves to do his duty. The culprit and the witness Jeanie are then brought before the Commissioner and his 'Sucre tary. Jeanie being asked the important question, in which is in volved the existence of her sister, hesitates; old Deans rushing it, confirins her sinking resolution, and then she makes the fatal reply. Just as the Judge is about to pass sentence on the wt . • •py fair, - .Robertson bursts in before the astonished group, and 'Lord Oakdale, with shame and humiliation, recognizes in hint s outlawed son, reproaches him with the excesses of his life, and brands him with the names of a traitor, a murderer, and a 'seducer. He repels the last imputation, .jay avowing ELL; to be his lawful wife, and the former, by declaring he had joined the mob only in the hope of preserving Porteous, which is supported by the testimony of Dumbledikes and Rlteliff. Raftliff conjec turing some incoherent language of Madge Wildfire to rebut • to the loot child, a vault under Holgrottd House is instantly searchod, and 'that only remaining source of grief and care discovered.. Lord Oakdale is then reconciled to his son, applauds thechoice be had made, and all persons are made happy. • • From this slight sketch it will be seen, that, in preparing this drama for the stage, very material variations have been made from the work on tehich 'it is founded. Every advantage which a theatrical.; work can derive from first-rate acting—vocal music the most enchanting—and scenery the most varied, splendid, and beautiful, the Heart of Mid-Lothian amply enjoyed. Mr. MACREADY'S performance of Geor i ge • Itobereson, was characterized by as Much fidelity of conception, energy, and depth of feeling, at we have witnessed in any of his preceding cha racters. Mr. TERRY (the Author of the Piece) gave .11 - most powerful and affecting representation of David Deans. It is a character perfectly in hh way and he did it 'Most ample justice. Rake; that: compound of honesty' and roguery, of treach ery' Wand fidelity, sins ablr-personated by Mr.-Enmity . . The part of Davebiedikes was ridiculous enoup 'in cite hands of. Mr. LISTON, but far too bold and 'spirited for the Laird of our old acquaintance.— Miss ITSPitztes exhibited a moving image of the in noCenticlivoted;self-condemning Elie. All the songi introduced' were execute& by her, and enthusiastically applauded. Miss'Bßunrow acted Jeanie with thlt ease, composure, and collectedness, which distin guishes her performing. Mrs. C. KESIELE infused such strength, wildness, fire, and originality into M a d g e Wityfi re, as are rarely seen on the stage. All the cisaracters were judiciously cast and well played. Sonic one or two hisses were heard from one corner of the house so repeatedly, as at length to excite 'the indignation of the audience. With this exception the Drama was received with universal applause. The following air was sung by Miss STEPHENS, and with such taste and feeling, as to produce as universal encore : • I'm wearing awe' Jean, Like snaw-wreaths, in snaw, Jean, I'm wearing awa' To the land o the leal ! There's nae sorrnw there, Jean, There's nae cauld nog care, Jean, • The day is aye fair In the land o' the leal ! My good name is gone, Jean, My joys here are flown, Jean, My hope is alone, • In the land o' the leal ! Then heed not my pain, Jean, This world's care is vain, Jean, We'll meet and be fain, In the land o' the Leal! • The annexed, said to be written by Mr. WALT= &Orr, and set to the tune of Tweedside, was also much admired: My friends and fame are from me gone, And I must Dever know them mom ; The hope, the pride of life are flown; 0, would my life itself were o'er ! Why should a wish for life be mine, . - . Since none will love or know me here, When laid in earth, my woes, my fate, May claim from Pity's eye a tear! . Poor suffering heart, that tares not seek .. The friendship that from death night save ; In secret weep, in silence break, • And hide thy sorroty in the grave! The grave, th e grave, the silent grave,. Is an the refuge left thee kere, Then, lost and lone one, die—thy fate Mny•clahn from Pity's eye a tear ! The scenery, which is taken from Nature, is eases cuted with great ability. The High-street of WA, isnrgh all the way to Holyrood-House on the moils - ins and evening after Porteous's mob—Salisbury - Irgua' equal in magnificence to of ' EXECUTION Or GEORGE WARDEN: EDINBURGH,`THURSDAY, APRIL 15. o fffioe H n rci , etgh, G hew e Cocarrosgi crime te l f oo r f a f r executedadjbiusntshr,t eai l t t i e rnpyg C u ct of taeht pursuant to th e s e Itt l l ' e t sentenceoAberdeenfermdaaYr c l a ? Prf l t°s a ernt s ht t s tontaining money from the mail-bags passing through the T .P he ost ;i o r ffi cu c m e, st A an be ce rd s "n under . which this unfortunate young man was convicted, excited an extraordinary degree of sympathy in his behalf, and mat y indulg ed hopes of a commutation of his sentence till the latest possible period. This general interest Opel ated, probably along with a recollect on of the unhappy circumstances attending the last spectacle of the kind in Edinburgh, to draw an immense multitude to the place of execution. The spot selected for this purpose was in the Lawnmarket. A drop was erected at the bead of Libberton's Wynd, and the crowd extended is a compact body from th &Wei qh-house to the Cross; so that there could not be fewer than 20,000 spectators: At half-past two o'clock, the Magistrates, in their robes, went from the County-hall to the lock-up-house, where the prisoner was confined, and where the Rev Mr. PoRTEOUS ' Chaplain to the Jails, and the Rev. Dr. BRUNTON, of the 'lron Church, were attending him. Mr. PORTEOUS then read a portion of the 51st Psalm, which Warden joined in singing ; and after a prayer by the same Reverend Gentleman, the whole moved from the lock-up-house, through the lower part ktf the County-buildings to Libberton's-wynd, from the top of which a stair led up to the scaffold, on which the prisoner appeared at a quarter before three o'clock, supported by the two Clergymen, and attended by Baines ANDERSON and BROWN. ircrcien behaved throughout the remaining part of the tragi cal scene with becoming firmness ; his countenance seemed to express pensive resignation to his fate, but exhibited no marks of terror or dismay. At his own request, Dr. BauxToN read out.the sth Hymn in the 'collection used in the Church of Scotland, which he joined in singing; and after an impressive prayer by the Reverend Doctor, Warden shook hands cot dially with all around him, and walked up to the drop,,,,s; sisted by Mr. PORTEOUS. The last shocking duty wa s then performed by the Glasgow executioner, and in few minutes this unfortunate young man was launched into eternity. During the service the Reverend DOc tor was more than once almost overcome by his feelings; and while he prayed, the majority of the crowd, within hearing, remained uncovered. Just before the drop fell, a circumstance occurred which excited considerable alarm among a portion of the crowd, but fortunately no serious result followed. When the executioner and his assistants descended from the drop, the unhappy sufferer fainted, and swung tipon the rope-, while the handkerchief, unper ceived for an instant, fell from his hand. A loud cry let down the drop !" issued from those close by ; while others, at a great distance, alarmed by the shout, ran with violence in different directions from the scene. In a moment, however, the drop fell ; and in less than two minutes Warden's sufferings were at an end. Warden was only 21 years of age, and previous to the commission of the crime tor which 'he suffered, appears to have borne an ucblemished character and to have been much respected for his obliging atten tion to those who had business to transact with him. He has left gc a widowed kother and two sisters to la ment his utiptmely fate, one oe . whorn is ,15 and the Other five years of age. The youngest one, With his 'mother, attended him in jail i,hese some weeks past, dtiring Which time he has inaintained . a MOSI pious r;iignation.: On Tuesday night, about ten O'clock, he took an affectionate farewell of them`;, and the : Scene, to use the expressiOns of the very humane go vernor of the jail, Mr. S on A LI), was even more heart rending than that c f the execution. He embraced his little sister in his arms, kissed her repeatedly, and exhorted her, in te;rmi suited to her capa , :ity, to Walk in the paths of virtue; and in taking farewell bf bis mo.liec, Le recommended his sister stiong#:tO her ma:.; nal care ; intr-rating her, evert, he said, if she should bqr. icr it, to endeavour to rocure for ttu.m such instruction and education as might enable them to prosecute a reputable line of life. The anguish of .the mother, during this last interview, will not adm.t Of description. On the same day, in presence of Bailie SMITH and Dr. BaustroN, Warden emitted and signed the fol ig declaration : " Edinburgh, April 15, 1819. " In order that the truth may hereafter be investigated, and that injustice may be prevented to the young men, clerks in the different Post-offices and that they may not be tempted by poverty, or the oppression of their superiors, to break their trust, and, like me, to expiate their guilt on a gallows, I deem that it may be of use that I leave behind me on record, a declaration of the truth as to the actual amount of my allowance from the Post-offiee of Aberdeen, which was only £4O. lamby nu means actuated, in this my last declaration, by any feeling of malice er revenge against the person of Mr. Dingwall; but I do so with the hope of saving others from being in any way under the necessity of committing a similar crime; because, had I been paid the salary allowed by Government, the temptation in my power would not have been availed nf. At the same time, I return my most sin cere thanks t* the Clergymen and others, for their kindness in visiting me while under sentence; and, in justice, I cannot omit to mention the kind treatment I received from the Governor, Mr. Sibbald, in making me as comfortable as my situation would admit of. I die in uace with all men, and in the humble hope of pardon from Con for my sins and offences against the Public. (Signed) " GEORGE WARDEN. • RORTZT SMITH, Bailie. • ALICIANDRA BRUNTON, Minister." " P.S.—I have to contradict the printed Poem that was sold through the city of Edinburgh, as it was never written by me. I also deny that ever I abstracted but £5 from letters coming through the Post-Office of Aberdem. " cantor wasurn. Every precaution was taken to prevent the recur rence of the disgraceful scene so lately witnessed in Edinburgh. A considerable area in front of the drop was smugly staked in, and lined inside by a strong body of the police.
