(P . ~. % `? Anil.; 7 • CO V ENT-G AlrbEN TiIEATRE. .--ins.r-- , . • , A new tragedy, entitled Orestes in Argos, was pro: 1 duced at C ovent -G ar d en T heatre last night, from thel pen of a very ingenious writer, now dead, of the name of BAILEY. Mr. PETER BAILEY WaS a man of consi• der.bse talent and literary acquirements, th , ugh he way known to t!'e Public oily as.the author of a poem c died Sketches in &. George's Fields, which had not so much success as its wit and cleverness merited. In the present tragedy, he has evidently • consulted So- PIIOCLES, EUHIPIDES slightly * and perhaps ALPIERS, who has one or two plays on the same subject; but all this is done with the taste and freedbra of a scholar and a gentleman ; and for many of the best points in his piece, as an acting play, be is not indebted to any au.' thorny that we are aware of. The story 'Tens (as Mr, BAILEY commences it) with a dialogue between Electra, and i...lytemneara, in which the f rtmcr, who is made at sasse by zEgisthus, upbraids her mothei, and :afiter-: wards the usurper himself, with the murder of Aga memnon. In the second act, Orestes arrives with Pg lades, both disguised as Ambassadors from the King of Phocis ; healing an urn which purports to contain the ashes of Orestes, against whom "Egistkus has long been plotting, but who has been killed, by accident, in a chariot race. The first scene in this act, where Electra meets_ the strangers at the tomb of Agamemnon, is woolen with great spirit, as to dialogue, and considera ble knowledge 4 dramatic effect. The command of the Oracle of Delphos has been, that Orestes shall pur sue his purpose at Argos without making himself k, own. After he discovers his sister, theteiore, and evc n when he sees her in agony for his supposed death, he forbears, in obedience to the gods, flora disclosing him elf; but when he hear, that the daughter of Aga. me roam is reduc d by 2E,ist/tus to the condition of a slave, his indignation overcomes all pruslet.ce and re collection, and his ev..lamations against the tjr •nt ter !nitrate in die avowal 4-4 his real character. The main bosine,s rf the p ay—the reve.,ge to be taken upon "Egisihus—i hen proceeds. Orestes and Pylades ate intioducest into the palace; the I triter presents, as lii' credentials, the rine (hum Orestes' tinges) which had been the wedding gift of Clytemnestra to.A..zamemnon, and .lEgist/tas rejoices in the supposed destrosti3n (it his foe.. In the midst, Itowever, of his transports, a slave, arrived from Phocis, di,coseis the true character of Pie , pretended messengers; Orestes then defies the murderer of his father; tells hem that the urn over which I,e has been triumphing c,tntaiiis the ashes of his own sun, Itlyrtillus, whom he, Orestes, ha; put to death ; and, .scorning all mediation by hismother or sisters, is borne, .with Pylades, away . to execution. The arrangement of the act in which this takes place, the fourth of the play, is clear and ingenious; and in what follows, the author has to meet the difficulty of Urestes, for his disobedience to the Oracle, being doomed to destroy his mother. This incident, which is a nice one, is accomplished by bring. ing about Clytemnestra's death in a general tumult and. confusion. 'An insurrection among the citizens of At.: gos breaks out at the place of grates' execution; thl prisoner is liserwed, and the mass of the people sidle with him. ./Egisthms flie;, and is pursued into the pa. lace, where Orestes slays him with the very sword•with which Aganietnnon had been murdered. He then hears• from Ppludes that, in the heat of the conflict without,, he has struck and slain Clytemnestra. And• the piece clicludes with the incident, at which lEscustr.trs,. in his Eumenides, takes the story up—with the despair of (treat's, and his imaginary pursuit by the Furies. Upon the whole, as regards arrangement and stage effect, Mr. BAILEY'S play is the best modern one that has been done upon this subject. It is very well acted, as re gards the principal characters; and there is some scenery in it tuperhir even to the custom of Covent. Garden. Miss LACY'S performance of Electra is excel lent, particulatly the first scene, in which she upbraids Clytemnestra, and the subsequent meeting at the tomb,' where she weeps over the urn supposed to contain the ashes of her brother. Mr. C. KEMISLE played Orestes with great vigour and spirited conception, and divided with Miss LACY the arplause of the evening. The pro logue was dull, but the play itself was received throughout without a dissentient voice. It is clearly a wo. k of considerable abilities, and its success (from the melancholy circumstances under which the author died) would be peculiarly opp rtune. It was given out for repetition with general applause, and we heartily hope it may prove profitable to his family. It is rather a singular circumstance, that the body of Captain Pitcher was at last discovered by Mr. Smith, who was piloting the Yorkshireman steam vessel at the time the fatal accident happened. In consequence of the reward of 151. offered by the friends of the unfor tunate Gentleman for its discovery, several watermen had been searching for it, both night and day; but on Sunday, as Mr. Smith was piloting a brig up the River, when just above the Folly-house, he observed a corpse floating, and gave an alarm to a waterman, who took it up, when, to his great surprize, it proved to be that of the lamented Gentleman.. At the Gloucester Assizes, F. Mansell was sentenced to one monslt's imprisonment, for the manslaughter of Israel Cosier, in a pugilistic contest at Leckhampton, in which the prisoner officiated as second. A proposal is under consideration by,Government, for an improved system of conveying the foreign mails. The plan suggested would extend to our most distant possessions, in every quarter of the globe. It is calcu lated that the rapidity of conveyance would be such as to produce an average saving of two months' interest on the aggregate amount of foreign remittances. Three years are required for completing the arrangements necessary for establishing a general communication wi:h every point from which foreign mails are received. Bias mum. Luck. I ! ! —We always rejoice when we hear of a Lottery being drawn; for then we are certain of hear ing of Bun selling large Prizes; and we are also certain of hearing they are well distributed. s For example,—only look at the draw ing on Tuesday, 12th Instant, when he sold a £20,000, No. 7,034, in Sixteen Sixteenths, and be also sold Ten other Capitals, all drawn the same day. We regret to find Lotteries are so nearly at lan end, or we should recommend Bun to take out a Rood for selling Capital Prizes : hi will have but few more opportunities of Ishewing his close connexion with Dame Fortune, yet few as they svill be, no doubt he will make the most of them; and we antici pate his selling the Two £30,000 Prizes and other Capitals, which are in the new Scheme, to be drawn all in One Day, neat Month ; and we augur this from his well known success in selling -430,000 Prizes as be not only sold The First £30,003 ever dravfn,—the Last £30,000 ever drawn,—the first time there were Three of £30,000 in one Lottery, DISH SOLD THEM ALL!—and next and only time there were Three, he shared and sold TWO OUT OF TILE THREW—and in the short space of Three Months, viz. October, November, and December last, he sold Two Prizes of £30,000, Nos. 2,478 and 15,756, and Three Prizes of £:20,000, Nos. 699, 15,301, and 15,558, besides 28 other Capitals, which , were distributed all over the United Kingdom.

The Limn hAs been ail day in a ferment; at the eh nOunceniert of Kean's appearance this e; , ehing in ilkhaPt. The generality of the ft fl •cting part Of the town did not so muCtl blame the actor as the Manager ; for after the former had passed the orde.tl at Mary, lane-, it was not to be expected that he would haesii finch he•itation in preenting himself on the boards of a provincial theatre. Hit this outra,;eotis insult on the part of.the manager to the perple of Manchester will pot, cannot be easily pardoned. Nothing short of a ri O.Y. row was et r ected ; and a placard was posted alk over the town this day, describing, in terms of strong reprobation; the conduct of the of Jett of attack, whom it characterised a mischievous and shaMeless monster!' Evening came, and as the hour of perform me dre w near, every prec rution was taken by the authorities to prevent a breach of the peace. Several of the most active of the police were posted ah but the tireatre, and Mr. Lavender. the Deputy Const.able, him;t if was it! attendance. The house WAS pretty ; i 'deed, th, upper boxes, pit, and gallery, v.ry much so; the love: boxes, however, were not more than half full : i.i these there were only/velem/es one of whom, who was well known, was turned out of the hose,. - There were about a dozen milliners an:l cook-maids in the upper boles, which, together with about as rn:ny washerwomen trod factory girls in the pit, were all tie females in the house. The great majority of the au dience consisted . of strangers, spruce warehousein.n, and apprentice boys. 'Dive were very few persons whose years might alf.,rd a presumption that they wire the fatheis of grown-iip families. When the curtain drew up, the peiforn ers were assailed with hissys, and "cries of (yr, ? ft; and the first scene-was quite inaudible. In the second scene, KERN made his appearance, and the words— " Now is the winter of our di s content" seemed to have bee:, the signal tor a general uproar. A general hooting and hi ;sing commenced, inteimin Fled with cites of shame," and ;, 4:--off;" w hile others clapped, and vociferated-4. Bravo, Aran!" %it!' all their might. The apprentice boys in the front of the pit (who had evidently bee:t packed there for the pur• pose) waved their hats, and bawled ig Kean Jro ever !•• M mock morning." The tumult continued for nearly ten minutes, during which Kean miule many low obei sances, and several ineffectual attempts to obtain a hearing ; he at length went tits otigb the scene in dumb shew. After a little time, order was partially restoteJ, and the play was suffeted to proceed ; but the recur rence of certain passages was ever a. , d anon the signal for disapprobation on one part, and clamour on the other. The words— _ " And am I then a elan to be beloved? Oh, monstrous thought!" And those in the scene with Lady Anne— ,. Upon my life! she finds (although I cannot) " Myself to be a marvellous proper man !" were readily caught at by the audience. When the curtain fell, the clamours for Kean's appearance were loud and incessant, and he at length came forward and stammered out some few words which were inaudible, except to the apprentices in the front of the pit, who shouted out once more oßraro, Kean f'as he retired. • ~' . .

LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 90. Thia being the first day of Term, the Judges and the King's Counsel assembled in the Hall at Lincoln's lan, which was not opened to the public till one o'clock. • WATKINS V. MALTLE. This was the only case which possessed any public interest.• It had been partly heard on Satarday, upon an application for the committal of Mr. Bayley. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that as the parties had now shewn a disposition to withdraw the matter from the Contt's consideration, the only subject before it was the question of costs, the final decision of which should be reserved for the present. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 20. BRADLEY V. ARTHUR. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE mentioned this case, which it will be recollected was an action of false imprison. ment, involving important questions of militai y autho rity and discipline. Mr. Brougham had moved for a new trial, and the Court thought it would be desirable that the points he wished to raise should be brought before them in the form of a special case. The Counsel were unable to agree on the facts which should be stated ; and the Lord Chief Justice having been applied to for his decision, thought the difference so important. that no single Judge ought to settle it. The case, there fore, should „go into the new trial paper, as of Mi. chaelmas Teim. 4Vlr. BROOGNAII expressed a hope that the case would not come on to-day or to-morrow. The Loan Cuter Justice replied, " Certainly not:" he had mentioned the case thus early in the Term that Gentlemen on both sides might have time to prepare for the discussion. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 20. GARDNER v. WEDD AND THREE OTHERS. Mr. Serjeant WILDE moved for a Rule to shew cause why a general verdict should not be entered in this case. The action was tiled before Mr. Baron Graham. It was an action for an assault and false imptisonment, in which a verdict was found for the plaintiff, damages one farthing for the assault, but the imprisonment was I not allowed. He now wished the verdict to be entered Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. generally, on the ground that the Learned Judge at the trial gave liberty to move to that effect. The action arose from a dispute respecting tithes. The Parson of the parish and his parishioners had disagreed (neither the name of the Rev. Gentleman nor his parish were mentioned), and the Parson, to smooth the business, gave a general invitation to his parishioners to settle all their disptres regarding the tithes over a good dinner. The parishioners attended, and after dinner, instead of, sober sentiments, they regaltd themselves freely over the Parson's wine by drinking most uproarious toasts againstihe'Par son and his clerk, such as " Damnation to the Parson and his clerk"—(Great lieighier). The clerk of the pari,h, as in duty ,boand, felt offended at the extreme liberality o' the toasts, and remonstrated, on which, from words tl.ey proceeded to blows. The defendant and three a-thers took hold of the clerk and turned him out cif doors. The Lotto Cniir Rams—Was the turning him out of the room false imprisonment ?—(Laugkier). • _ Mr. Serjeant Witot—NO, my Lord; tke false imprisontnt. consisted in keeping the plaintiff in a chair while they carried him out of the , room.by main force. The chair was in a comer of the room, and they held hint there against his will and consent, while they took him up in their arms and carried him out of ,the hone. He did not know what period pf time constituted false imprison ' trent, but the Clerk was detained flout the free exercise of his 'theny by the constraint of the defendants.' Tlik Loin Cum& Jusrlek—i see no imprisonment at all in this Case. and the Learned Judge who'presided ar ther*trial seems to have been of the mune opinion. The good parishioners only kept the clerk in the chair to prevent his tumbling out, while they pro. ceeded to give him his liberty in the fresh air—( fuelt laughter). We cannot grant the inotionv—Alotiou refused. MI k, .e, It. I~ J. d, V. T. les nt, lIC FT, ast I. !as- 'ter. • by ,by bis• ind, I his I at sty. aP reu- Ides. rage. ishir. pert of y sad .n. Jeute.
