FRENCH PLAYS—ENGusu OPuts.-liousE. This theatre was opened last night for the perform ance of French plays. The house is elegantly fitted up in the same style in which it was last season ; and the audience for the brat night, was full and respectable. The pieces chosen for performance were L'Heretiere (the Beires,„) Le Crostemaire. and Le Hourgwe. ware de Soordasa. Bat hof these pieces was in one act. The last, if we recollect right, Le Bmtrgweesatre de &marital,' has been played at more than one of our theatres here nodal' the same title (finglished.) Mr. Um, taking the part of the Bu►gomaster. which M. MISER played last night. The plot turns upon an incident in the life of Peter the Great of Russia, when he travelled abroad, incognito, to learn and steal away the arts of more civilised nations. He worked in the dock-yards of Saardam, where an espreu came to the Burgomaster to seise upon an un known and dangerous person travelling in Holland. The blunder ing Burgomaster, finding two persons of the name of Peter, and of mysterious coneertation, in the dock-yards, fixes upon Peter Mesas Instead of the true Peter. These are the three principal characters, and they were well represented by MM. Portia, LAPORTI4 and Patent& M. Portia was much applauded in many parts of his performance.

Sta—The high character for independence and im partiality which your Paper has vindicated for itself, will, I am persuaded, secure insertion to the following remarks which are called forth by the wantonly illiberal, and unprovoked attack which the correspondent of a Morning Paper has made upon the greatest tragic actor of the present day. The letter to which I refer, related to what the writer (who styles himself " Philo Drama,") is pleased to term " the recent revival of that miserable play called Riches." In this cue, the word " revival ' is as singularly inapplicable, as the observa tions of " Philo Drama" are injudicious and unjust. The play, which is founded upon , or rather adapted (ran, MASSINGER'II " City Madam," contains many passages of as much eloquence, and capable of producing as much effect, as any that ever emanated from the same brilliant source ; and its recent representation was so far from being a mere " revival," that it has of late years been acted with unqualisnd success, not only for the purpose of displaying that " perfect consummation of histrionic skill," which you so truly pronounced KEAN'', performance of Luke to be ;—but as the test of ability upon which other eminent actors have prided themselves. The judgment must be weak, indeed, that could witness such acting as KEAN'S, and Mrs.GLo v za's, on the evening alluded to by " Philo Drama," without approving the selection of a play in which the moral excellence of the Drama is so triumphantly asserted.— At all events, " the error" of the selection—if error it can be called—did not rest with Mr. KEAN. For my own part, I think the management entitled to praise, for the production—or " revival," if Hypercritics will —of such a play, instead of degrading the boards of a Metropolitan Theatre with such contemptible trash as our modern play-wrights seem only qualified to produce. Had " Philo Drama," however, contented himself with his sweeping censure upon a play that has been acted, I should scarcely have troubled you with any notice of his absurd attempt at com mentary; but when he proceeds, with a malevolent and rancorous spirit, to pronounce judgment upon a per formance which is yet but in embryo—words are too poor —too weak, to express the indignation which such an at tempt to prejudice a deserving favourite with the public cannot fail to excite. Had the play off/eery V. been repre sented, and had all his anticipated criticisms been justified by the perfect failureof that representation ; then indeed might " Philo Drama" have been justified in pro nouncing such an opinion as he has done ; but when it is remembered that the Dowers of the gifted actor whom he has so wantonly aspersed, are at this day in full vigour; and that the great mental endowments and personal quali fications which first raised Mr. KEAN to the pm-eminent station which he has now so long enjoyed, were never more admirably, and certainly never more judiciously, exerted, than they have been since his return to Drury lane ; then, Sir, there is but too much reason to fear that the assumed censorship of " Philo Drama" is but a mask to cover the deep and vindictive designs of some personal enemy—who, whilst he affects to regret that " the time and trouble of a clever actor should be so grossly misapplied," would fain cloud the popularity which that actor now most deservedly enjoys; and pre dispose the public,—by whose favour alone can genius be stimulated,—against the fair and dispassionate reception ,of the forthcoming play. I write in haste—and perhaps with more warmth than the subject demands; but you must feel with me, that the illiberality and injustice of the remarks put forth by " Philo Drama" deserve the indignant reprehension of every admirer of talent—and every lover of fair play. I ea, Mr, year obedient &mint, JOHN OLDHAM. Jaa. st, 1830. A correspondent suggests the idea that the abolition of franking letters would add no inconsiderable sum towards the relief of the revenue, and collected without any expense. Arrnmd.—lt may not be immaterial for ' afflicted with asthma, to know the relief afforded from Mineral Waters, even where medical aid has not been able to produce it. Mr. W. UPTON, residing at Wink&ld, Berke, had been eighteen years a sufferer to a great de gree ; he visited Southampton, Bath, and various other places, where medical men declared his case must be left to take its course, for their further efforts were in vain. At Abingdon last summer, where be was summoned on a trial, he was in such a state as to be unable to walk about the house, or lie down in his bed, for fear of suffocation. He then took to the use of the Mineral Waters of the newly-discovered spring in Windsor Forest, which he has continued for a length of time ; he is now not only Gee from asthma, but as well as ever be was in his life, attending his business daily and actively. A melancholy event took place at Brighton, on Thurs day. As three young ladies, sisters (the Misses CLIP!) were returning from a ride in the neighbourhood of Kemptown, accompanied by Mr. Boss, the riding-muter, one of them was taken suddenly ill, and fell from her horse ; she was instantly conveyed to the County Hos pital (which was quits convenient to the spot,) as the nearest place where medical aid could be procured, where die young lady very shortly after expired. It is sup posed she was attacked by a fit of apoplexy : the horse was in a gentle canter at the moment she fell, previous to which she was observed to turn quite pale. The family and friends of the lady are thrown into the deepest Adliction by this melancholy event. One oftbs Ladies BEAL/CLERK, sister to the Duke of St. ALBANS, had a miraculous escape on Thursday even ing, at Brighton. As she was riding on horseback, ac essapanied by Mr. MANN, the rid ' -muster, the horse leek fright at some object, and ran o ff at full ;peed, with his fair rider, to tbd breathless anxiety of the persons by which tie streets were crowded at the time. The animal esedismed his career at a furious pace, through several narrow streets, and Moog the cliff, until he reached the stable door. Lady BueocLuax, notwithstanding the screaming of the Wigs as the horse passed along, kept. ker seat with the most admirable presence of mind, and ailpeared so suffer less by fright than mdst of those who witnessed her danger.

TO THE POLITICAL RCONdISISTS £R • UTILITARIAWS. • • • FcLkow-I.Abovitztts to TUE GAtqi. •iluisAbr I>trßOvENnNT.—You have long °Peeped yourselves . attempts, to elicit the principles on the practice of which society is to be rendered wealthy and happy. Upon these points, however, minim not yet satisfied yourselves or others ; but your search for truth on thi.se important sub j ects is, nevertheless continued, with un abated energy and interest. That your pursuits are highly important and praise worthy, all must readily acknowledge ; yet, from causes which may now be rendered obvious, you have hitherto laboured in vain f for with much learning, great inge nuity, and extraordinary acuteness of certain intellectual faculties, you have, through many words, made that. which is plain and simple in itself a most involved and perplexed theory, and unintelligible to those who desiro to obtain knowledge from facts, and to apply that know ledge to practice for the general benefit of society. One party desires that wealth may superabound ; and the other that the greatest amount of happiness shall be secured to the greatest number. The latter includes tho former ; but the former does not necessarily include the latter ; for there may be, and often is, a superfluity of riches which tends to produce partial happiness only for the few, and misery for the many. The Utilitarians, therefore, aim at the highest ob)ect, and at that which most deserves the attention of rationll beings; for the investigation of the means by which to produce the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number, is a subject which must ever deeply interest the best and moat intelligent of the human race. By taking a somewhat different view to that which you have hitherto done, of the means by which wealth and happiness are to be produced, it will now, perhaps, be possible for you to discover how these may be obtained and permanently secured to all ; for until all shall be - made to possess them, it will be impracticable for the few per manently to enjoy either. The direct road to the attainment of wealth and ha?. piness is only to be found through a correct knowledge of the fundamental laws of human nature ; of the con ditions which ore necessary for its happiness, of the best means by which those conditions can be obtained, and permanently secured to all. The most important fundamental laws of human ns titre and the conditions essential to its happiness, are annexed. From a consideration of these laws and conditions in connexion with each other, it is evident that there is but one mode by which mankind can secure for thembelves 4 permanent sufficiency of wealth and a full enjoyment of happiness. It consists in creating a new arrangement of circumstances, which shall form for each individual 4 character so superior, physically, mentally, and morally, that a due exercise of all his faculties alone, will Ix, sufficient to obtain for him, in a rational state of eN istence, a full supply of those things which are essential to the happiness of human nature. In a development of the means by which this new arrangement of circum stances can be formed, a knowledge of the science of the influence of circumstances will be found indispensable for this science it is which explains the origin of good and evil, and which exhibits the means by %bleb evil may henceforward be extracted from human society, and good alone retained. For as the circumstances in which human patois is placed are of a vicious or virtuous, or of a rational or iffational character, so will be the general character of all the population placed within those circumstances, varied only in the' character of each individual by the difference at birth in the organisation of each, united to the difference of time and place when and whe.e the im pressions of those circumstances are received, and the order and strength by which they are made to act upon the individual. A first Essay to direct the application of these prin ciples to practice has been made in an exposi, which her been submitted to the consideration of the British Cabinet : but perhaps your learning, ingenuity, acuteness, and practical knowledge, may enable you to suggest a better mode of applying these principles to practice, than the outlines proposed in that expoof. la th is case you cannot perform a greater service to your fellow beings, than by giving the result of that knowlete to the public : sad, if it shall appear to be founded on reason, and of a practical nature, no one will more sin cerely rejoice, or be more willing to aid, to the full extent • of his abilities, in its reduction to practice, than Your friend and servant, ROBERT OWEN. 49, Bedford-sqsare, Jae 19. use.
