THE NEW PLAY. Long unaccustomed to behold any new Comedy con tributed to our modern stage of pure and legitimate cha racter, we were not much disappointed at the failure, last evening, at Drury-Lane Theatre. Yet we were sorry—very sorry—to behold a subject, so justly the property of genuine Comedy, botched front the license and unmanageable fancy of the author, who has disfigured a theme, of the most happy selection, by cram ming situation upon situation—confusing his business with unnecessary episode—and entangling himself in a dedelium of embroglia, from which, of necessity, his denouement scrambles scurvily out, at the expence of all propriety and effect. In a piece of two Acts, the interest should hinge upon one crowning incident, towards which we should arrive rapidly but without strained effort. The actors should be few to preserve perspicuity and facility : the dialogue should be tierce and neat ; and the author should content himself with mere spirited sketches of character—and not aspire to the importance of five act pictures. But all these irrefutable principles the writer has, either through wilfulness or ignorance, totally subverted in this new piece : the plot has too much ma terial for an Entertainment ; and is too little and too pre-' cipitate for Comedy, on its high scale. The subjects richly affords canvas for five acts. The vice and weakness it would expose are prevalent pests of' society : the characters of gossip mischief-makers, work ing on petty passion around them, afford excellent lati tude for just satire, and corrective inculcations ; and pre sent an object nobler to the stagewright than the mere applause to be attained by unmeaning farce destitute of moral lesson. But to attempt this with effect, dignity should preside over the scene ; the characters should be delineated with consistency and strength ; the tendency made clearly manifest ; the incident gradually developed—till the mind, through progressive reflection, arrive at conviction with the conclusion ; and the lan guage, with all its comic gloss, should convey spirit and thought. The subject of this piece demanded all this— and, alas ! all this it wants. LISTON made every effort, but without success. We laughed indeed—but it was at LlSTON—rarely at the cha racter he personated. This gentleman is the spoiled child of the public ; and has the privilege of abstracting himself from the author's conception to make traits for himself.— He appears—we applaud. He speaks—we titter.' He moves—we roar. He grimaces—and we are convulsed. But his author, all the time, might as well be POOLE as SHEarRAN. Mrs. GLOW Elt acted with ease and pointed intention ; but not, as one of our contemporaries has it, " smooth and silky." It rather appeared to us like hombazeen —solid and good. JONES, Miss Mon- DAUNT, and HARLEY, were as unnecessary as a naval combat or a fox chace. As to the first, his conception of a military " Muscadin" does no great honor to the army whose uniform he wore on this occasion. We hope the character, as he represents it, is merely a child of his own fancy. Such a caricature in reality would raise a mob.— The dramatic critics appear sorry that insignificant parts were, in this piece, assigned to respectable actors. But we cannot participate in their regret. Too much use is made of subordinates to the destruction of all minor interest in our plays ; and if the new piece was unsupportable with the aid of good actors, what would it have been if committed to the butchery of those eternal sticks, nightly engaged to murder our nightly pleasures. • • • • • ST. SAVIOUR'S. SOUTHWARK. A General Meeting of the Inhabitants of this Parish, was yesterday held in the Vestry-room, which was inconveniently crowded. to receive a Report of the Committee appointed on the Bth of last month, a Committee formed for the purpose of investi gating the accounts relative to the expenditure entered into in the erection of the Borough Market ; also to take into consideration the propriety of extending the powers of that Committee, and add ing to its numbers.—Before this part of the business was gone into, a discussion was carried on with respect to the adoption of the measures agreed upon at the preceding Meeting, which were ulti mately adopted. It was nest submitted, and carried, that all the plans, sections, Stew which had been brought forward by the Surveyors, for the repairs of the Church, should be laid on the table the first three days next week, for the inspection of any of the inhabitants who pleased to avail themselves of the opportunity. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Blackett) stated, that all the papers which had come into his hands on the subject, he bad already laid on the table, and be was persuaded that whatever documents were not before the Vestry, which could be pointed out, would be produced. Mr. But., the Chairman of the Committee for investigating rile accounts of the expenditure of the Borough Market, now rose to move, that the Report, which had been drawn up, be read and re ceived. He prefaced his motion with observing, that blame was attributed to several persons in the parish who bad taken an active part in the proceedings with regard to the erection of the Bo rough Market. He disclaimed any wish to be personal in what he should offer. It was impossible, he said, to investigate the accounts unless they were all produced in detail. They were so mingled and blended together that no accurate estimate could be made. But there was one article, that of iron, which was charged st an enormous profit. The price charged for the iron so furnished was at least 25 or 30 per cent. more than the price cumin of the day. This, he contended, was a proper subject of complaint ; but then it was insisted that the price charged was in conformity to the original contract. This was no answer, however, because, when the second contract was entered into, articles of commerce of every description, especially those connected with the erection of buildings, had greatly deteriorated. Instead of the old prices being adhered to, a new specification ought to have been made out —(Cheers.) The persons who were engaged in the undertaking, be was ready to admit, were of great respectability, and he thought, in vindication of their character, an investigation should be adopted. He was anxious to have additional powers given the Committee, of which he had the honour of being Chairman, and he trusted that no opposition would be made to a proposition to that effect.—The Report was then read and received. Mr. DARR/ZIT, one of the Committee, complained of the mode in which the money had been expended, and insisted that a great want of economy in those who had the disposal of it was obvious. Ile would venture to designate the thing as complete a parish job as any that had been practised. He next proceeded to point out the de fects, for so be must consider them, of the Borough Market. In the south projection of the market, there were 40 or 50 windows, of no use whatever. These he believed had been put in, because there was a plumber on the Building Committe. With respect to the staircase, too, which coat a large sum, he was at a loss to know what was its use. It led to nothing. he believed, but expense.— (A laugh.) He next adverted to the large sum expended on an Act of Parliament, to carry the proceedings into effect. Unless the price of Acts of Parliament were greatly enhanced, he thought a folly had been committed 65 or 70 years ago, for an Act was then obtained to borrow "000. Its the present day it would require half that sum to obtain the Act itself.—(Laughter.) A lengthy discussion then followed,in which some of the parishioners alluded to in the report, vindicated themselves, and said they wished for a full investigation into every affair in which they bad taken a part —The motion was unanimously carried, after which the Meeting broke up. T. H. G A , Esq. of Edmond Castle, obtained a license at the late Quarter Sessions, for having " assem blages or congregations of people in his house at Edmond Castle for religious purposes." —Carlisle Journal. • It is currently reported in the literary circles that Mr. Allan Cunningham, the Nithsdale bard, has purchased one of the newspapers in the south of Scotland, and pur poses to take upon himself the Editorship of the paper. —Carlisle Journal.

The LORD MAYOR held a Court of Aldermen yesterday at Guildhall for the dispatch of public business, when Mr.WILLIAK PArtes, recently elected Coroner, was sworn into the office. Several persons were sworn, and others allowed to be admitted, brokers. Licences were granted to coal-undertakers. The CUAYIPEILLAIN re ported the surplus of the Orphans' Fund for the last quarter, upon which the Court directed him to take the necessary measures for the discharge of £18,700 farther part of the outstanding debt. The Inquest of St. Andrew, Holborn, attended with a present ment of ruinous premises and sundry non-freemen, and the Inquest of Tower Ward attended with a presentment of ruinous buildings, when the Court directed the proper measures to be taken, under the Act of Parliament, to prevent accidents to the public, and re• (erred the non-freemen to the Chamberlain, (or his directions thereon. Mr. Robert Banyan was sworn a Warden of the Com pany of Watermen and Lightermen, and Mr. E. P. Sells was elected a Member of the Court of Assistants of that Company, and sworn accordingly. The Court directed precepts to be issued for Impanelling Juries to try the claims of parties whose premises are required for the London Bridge approaches. The Court directed the preparation of the Guildhall for Lord Mayer's Day, and directed the several precepts and orders for regulating the procession by land and water on that day, to be issued forthwith. Several hills and accounts were ordered for payment. The Court heard a complaint against a broker, and instructed the City Solicitor to proceed against him. The yearly certificates of the Keepers of the gaols were delivered in pursuant to the directions of the Act of Parliament. The Court granted the usual gratuities to the several officers at the close of the mayoralty. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MAzu Ammo Tun nat.—Dublin i—Waterfurd I—Flanders 1 Carthagena I—Jamaica 1.

The consideration in which literary men are held by the Transatlantic Republics is highly creditable to the respective Governments, and forms a striking contrast to their treatment in Europe. There are at this moment three men of eminent literary acquirements, and well known by their productions, employed in this country. Don JOSE MADRID, a lyric poet, whose works are de servedly esteemed in Spain and throughout the South American States, is the Ambassador from Columbia ; while Don MAN UEL GOROSTIZ A, one of the most po pular dramatic writers of Spain, represents Mexico. In order that he might not be left behind in this race of liberality, one of the earliest acts of the new President of the United States was that of naming WASHINGTON IRVING, the author of the Sketch Book and the History of Columbus, to be Secretary of the American Legation in London. THE ADVANTAGE OP A SQUINT.—A gentleman in the South of Ireland received a visit lately from a party of Rockites, who were armed with sticks. He had just time to seize a pistol, which he cocked and pre sented towards the party. "Be off," said he " you set of villains, or I'll shoot one of you, at all events. I have my eye upon you, this moment." Luckily for himself se was blessed with that happy pictorial obliquity of visio,h which caused each particular ruffian to fancy him ael(to be the marked man, and they withdrew without obtaining the spoil they had come for. Civic Di Lms ma..--The Lord Mayor of Dublin has been waging a civil war with the fish-factors in Pill-lane about their lawful whereabout. The other morning, as he stood in the steps of a hall-door, ordering the move ment of his police amongst the Amazonian mermaids who resisted his authority, his Lordship, waxing warm at the invasion of his dignity, was heard two several times to cry aloud, " I am the Lord Mayor or I am not ; lam the Lord Mayor or lam not." " Lord Mayor, or lord Mayor not," said a sturdy fishmonger, " you must obey the laws all as one as another." Here is fine levelling FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CH A NOES.

THE PRINCESS OF ORANGE'S DIAMONDS.—BRUS SELS, OCT. 29.--It is affirmed that a foreigner has just been arrested as he was on the point of leaving Brussels. His arrest is said to be connected with some suspicions relative to the robbery of the diamonds. It is natural that most of the Journals collect all the statements which tend to make it believed that the authors of the robbery committed in the Palace of the Prince of ORANGE have been discovered ; but when such statements appear to be positive, and are yet incorrect, they may do mischief by suspending or relaxing inquiry. It is therefore desirable to contradict, especially, the confident hope very recently spread, that some trace of the robbers had been found in England. The Duke of BUCK INGII AM and CHAN DOS is ex pected at Arington House in a few days.

F . COURT OF CHANCERY-( THIS 13;11<) This bring the second Seal Day, the Loan CHANOILLOIL took his at on the bench shortly sfter ten o'clock. PROTECTION OF WITNESSES FROM ARREST. IN THE SIATTIR or RANDOLPH. The SOLICITOC GENZILAL said he was inetructed in this case to moue the Court, that a gentleman named Randolph s'iould be dis charged from the custody of the Marshal, pursuant to a writ front the Sheriffs, under the following circumstances :—His client had b-en sulopsettaed to attend before the Examiners in London, to ..tiswer certain interrogatories, on the 6th of September. He ar rived on Or Sth, and was then informed that his attendance would nos be required until the 15th. He was again informed that he would not he wanted until the 22d; and on the 19th be was on his way to the office of the Solicitor, in King's Arms-yard, he resid ing at the time on the North side of Holborn, when he was arrested on a judgment debt in Chancery-lane. Under these circum stances, he (the Solicitor General) contended, Mr. Randolph was protected front arrest, and entitkd to his discharge. Mr. Peers opposed the motion, on the ground that a person subyeened to attend on the !2d was not protected on the 19th. In fact, Mr. Randolph had not sworn that he was on his way for the sole purpose of giving evidence. MI he bad stated was that he was resident at Bath; bad come to London, and finding he was not wanted, had gone to Cambridgeshire ; again returned to Lon don. and was on his way to the solicitor's office when he was tsiten into custody. The fact was, that Mr. Randolph was sworn to have been resident in London for some time, having been cern pelkd to leave the country where he resided to evade the come qui nee of the judgment debt in question, and which bad been uh taived lung slime against him. On the whole face of the affidavit there was nothing to show that Mr. Randolph was not resident in I.sindun for the sole purpose of evading his et editors ; and as it had never been held that a person on the way to the office of a Solicitor wae protected, he submitted that Mr. Randolph was not entitled to the relief he prayed. Souctroa- LIIIIIAL replied. and maintained that unless a withei4 was protected under the present • ircunottances, the Intel s of the Lourts could not be proceeded with. The Loan CHAO:M.I.Oft Slid, it a witne,a had been examined, and his et..mination adjourned, he would he entitled to protection; but here the case was different, and under all the circumstances, his Lordship ditnis.ed the motion with costs. ~~i OLD BAILEY-(THIS DAY.)
