THEATRES. COVSST CatOSS.—Tuelday night a new Mafia! F ar ce. intitled Toe Many Cads. by the Author of R a yq the Wind, was pe►tnsmed at this Theatre, and u p on the whole tolerable receised.--Mhe following are its Dann Perfem, and brief Rory— Old River. - Mr. lIL/amanita, Edward Rivers . Mr. H ILL , Freeland - . • Mr. MoillAT. g a bby B o it - Mr. FAWCETT, O'Bother Mr. Rem Laura Freeland . - Mrs. Minns, Phalle - . Mitt Dimas, ID.:ne Freeland - Mr. EMERY. Kattylnther - Mee WAssr. Young Rivers having formed an attachment to Laura Freeland. a farmer's daughter, v hile on a vifit to London, arrives at the tillage where (he re fides, fr.r the purpofe of marrying her. The cnn f c i ent ions fpirit of the farmer, however. induces him to refuie his content to the match, without the pre vious content of old Rivers. Young Rivers is there fore under the neceffity of fending O'Bother, an idle Irifhman, with a letter to his father, urgently fnli citing his approbstion. In the mean time, old Ri vers, hearing of his ton's intention, lias folloNed him to the village to prevent his fulfilling it. He meets Bufileton, billy fellow, always full of en gagements. but, by his hut ry and conlulion, accom platting none; being in the interell of the lovers, h e &reels the old man completely Go of the way of the farmer's, in order to gain time, and enters- into a plan to perfonate him, and fanflion the delved union. Old Rivers happening to take tither, (luting a bower, in the cottage of O'Bother, the latter find ing who he is, and his averfinn to his ton's wifhes, perfuades him to his coat and take a dry jacket of his, and inficad rf delivering the letter he is charged with, feta o ff in his coat to Freeland's upon the fame defign as Bufileton—A fccne of whimfical ettbarrairment enfues. occafioned by their rencontre at the farmer's, which is interrupted by the at rival of old Rivers himfelf, who, won by the honourable condult of old Freeland, finally contents to the Match. Exclufive of the mac of this piece. the eompofi tion ef Mr. P. Kies. and which may be pronounced pretty, it is chiefly calculated to excite a laugh at the evence of pr : the char:tilers were, howe ver, well fupported throughout, particularly thole of 111111:teer, &Border, and CM and 7 - .1 River:, by Faaturr, Rock BL•NCHARD, and HILL—Mrs. Mates, and Mifs Davits Tung very pleafingly.-- Qn giving out the piece for a fecond pelf:a-mance, a ournhet of hares were heard to mingle with the ap plaufe. Dcutv-Lairs.—A new Melo Drama was the principal Weft of attrattion at this Theatre, on Tucfday night.

Mr. Earetitsvea, Lady Maclean - Mrs Powas.L. !Amy - - Mrs. Hass.ows, rims, &e. _ _ _ _ _ The fcene of this f'iere lies in Scotland, in theTeu-, Sal times, and the Rory is briefly this—The bead of the Clan of the Macleans, who has married a Camp bell,is excited tojesloufy by the falfe reprefentations of his brother, Dugs); and induced to /spore his wife on a rock, which is ovettlowed by every tide ; meanwhile Dugal meditates the dellruaion of his brother by poilon, thus aiming it the polic44on of the family ellate, and the command of the Clan.— The Lady, however, is releafed front her perilous fitoation by the intrepieNty of a Merman, and Da• gal, by millake, takes the poifon intended for his brother, whom he notwithfianding endeavours to flab, in the agonies of death. Thus are the eyes of Maclean opened to the plot which was laid againa bins, and his wife is rettored to his repentant borom suite moment that the two clans are milling to Combat on her account. Nature is not likely to perpetuate the Piece on W'Lich it is funded.—Long before the 1411 of the curtain the hats were load and vehement ; and on 41. joussvoss coming forward to give it onf for tettl.ry evening, a peat clamour prevented his Ott heard ; he, however, mumbled a few words, towed to the audience, thanked them for nothing, and withdrew. The fcenery is exquifite, and the 'tneebanical fignres, which are moved down the *mountains, have all the effeet of human life. The • veprefentation of the sire.siful rock, with the foaming waves &thing at its feet, and which is made to break upon the Rage in a very pifturefque and unprece- dented Hilt, was alto highly deferving of praife.-&- -The stifling of HARRY JOHNSTONE, Bassirrset, and Mrs. Pow's:, was admirable ; but we think, with fuch materials, to little purpofe.—The dialogue p_offeffes few of the charms of good writing. The Mate partly feleeed and new, is entirely in the Scotch i afie, and flrielly appropriate. r Mr. "NV PLATFAIit, Profeffor of Mathematics, is appointed to be Ps ofeiTur of Natural Philofophy in the Unirerfity of Edinburgh, in the room of Mr. jou it Roatsow, deceafed.
