T'` THE THEATRE DIY hITIT LAZART. - 'ARGYLL ROOMS. We have paid a visit to Messrs. MAFFIIT'S amusing theatre . for the first time since it has been iv-opened. DeriUg the recess a new proscenium has been erected, and se veral other judicious improvements have been snide. An addition of more than ordinary attraction has been added to the corps drantatigue, in the person of M. JuLea as Rowan, whb certainly exceeds any in dividual' we ever saw in feats of sleight of hand, delu sion, and optical illusion. In one instance, he trans porta a Lady's pocket handkerchief out of a box into a peony kiaf of bread. But the most attractive portion of the entertlioment was that where he introduces hit H Flora's Pavilion." Several Ladies were re qeested to draw cards, on each of which was the • f lame of a flower. M. de ROIIIkt then took out of the pavilion a small pot, in which there was no fin. er. The Lady was then called upon to declare the name of the flower upon her card; having, done so, M. de Rowans 'didered the doors of the Pavilion to close; that object having also been effected' without any visible human or mechanical aid, he in a few seconds commanded them to re.open, and the flower was seen in the pot apparently growing. M. de ROVINII then brought the pot and presented the Lady with the flower, and some 'appropriate lines.—Mons. MAYTZT'S wonderful exhibi tion of Harlequin's Table d'Hote followed, and was received, as usual, with general applause. The trans• fotmations are astonishingly managed, and excited unit Versa' admiration. The amusements terminated with the mechanical representation of the Battle of Trafalgar. • l'Pris or A Vlrit.bOUl a fortnight:ago same work men employed upon the rail road at Chat Moss found a reptile:about two feet long, which they,conceived to be a common snake. It was taken alive, and got into the hands of a gentleman in this town. who„ under the imOression that s it was a common snake, anti, Jbeiefene 'harmless, suffered it to be handled and played, with by all the family until Wednesday last, when. as he was in toe act of putting some -food to its month, it soddenly instill him at the end of the fore finger. The sensation at the moment was of a slight prick of a pin, but in a ' few minutes be began to feel an excessive pain in the 'finger, the end of which became hard, homey, and sweil . ed. Shortly afterwards' the pain and swelling extended over the whole of the arm, and was almost intolerable.' Surgical assistance was oained, but the gentleman wet frit many boles in a dangerous State; he is now, however, much better. Of course the reptile, which turns out to be a viper, was forthwith dispatched, and k. is now in the possession of Mr. Jordan, the sup. ..seon.--sjarls intealgencer.

BUMMING OF int DUX g OF BRIDOZWATER'S CANAL. .--We ate sorry to state that, about nine o'clock oa Thursday morning, the embankments of this Canal. at Bolling flank, near Lymm. in Cheshire. gave way, on both sides, for aalistance of from twenty to thirty yards. lii consequence the district around has been drenched with water, and, of course, great damage sustained by the owners and occupiers of the lead. The bonito:sent at that part which is boost, was about ten or twelve yards above the level of tbs. adjacent country. and ale understand had been for some tense in a dingevous state. The beset rains, therefore, on.Teesday, in all probabi ltty, hastened the misfortune which occurred on Thum' day.

The royal standard was displayed on the Castle ramparts, and St. George's banner on Nelson's Monument ; and at one o'clock the guns of she Castle fired a royal salute, which was followed by afar dejois by the depot of the 78th Highlanders. The customary honours were also observed at Leith Fort, and the vessels in the harbour and roadstead displayed their colours. Most of the offices and shops in the City shut after noon, the music bells of St. Giles played as usual throughout the day, and the bells of the different Churches rung merry peals at intervals. In the evening, the ev-int was celebrated by a number of private pasties, as well as by some of the Corporations and other Public Bodies. We were glad. however, to perceive, that on the streets therewas scar rely to be seen a vestige of that disord..riy and to multo los mirth which was formerly so common and so di creditable to the City. - In the evening the event was ceebrated in the Court room of Easter Portsburgh, where the constabulary, a number of the inhanitants, and other re.pectable guests, partook of an elegant collation. the resident hl igi.trate, B.ilie Thomson, in the Chair. supportei by Bellies Miller, Russell, and Forrest, the Rev. Mr. Olson, and Dr. Ritchie, of Putter row Chapel. Mt. Scott, Procu rator Fiscal, Deacon Cushnie, &c. Moderator *Lend, Croupier. The evening was spent in the greatest har mony and conviviality, to which the bland and social qualities of the worthy Chairman contributed not a little. A number of loyal, patriotic, and local toasts and sentiments were drank, and the pleasures of the Meeting were much enhanced by the exercise of the vocal talents of several of the guests, among whom Bettie Thomson was fortunate in teckoning the Saatma•ket Bailie, who sung several a f the old ballads of Scotland, in his own etqusite and inimitable style. A similar meeting took place in Wester Portsburgh, Bailie Marshall ii the Chair, between which and the meeting in question a iriendly intercourse, in the exchange of deputations, took place dating the evening. Suocctso Accustom.— ripe police were active dur ing the day in depriving boys of pistols, small cannon, &:. and in this way upwards of 100 pieces of juvenile 'ettillesy of various calibre, besides several guns and pistols were seized. Notwithstanding this piaiseworthyl vigilance, however, a most dreadful accident took place in St. Leonard's street, which issued in the death sofa lad about sixteen years of age, named Hugh Mitchell, son of a stocking maker of that name. Young Mitchell was charging a large Carron cannon, and having placed the but end of the cartiage to his ab. , domen, was forcing home the charge by pressing the ramrod to a wall; and having, as the boys who were present state, a lighted match in his hand, a souk fell from it, in an instant the cannon went off, past of the' stock entered Mitchell's body, and. shocking to 'elate, made a large wound. through which the intestines pro. truded, and he fell never so rise again.

PERTHc 'Arm p. flauinic*r Resultll is GLansitaft....Thefe ate few Oates in the• Highlands of Perthshire *lsere a greater number of vestizes of antiquity are to beTnitnal than in Glenalmond and Glensbee, two of the wildest passe► into the Grampians and in the very centre of Ossianie ground. We have frequently bad to notice the discovery of ancient tombs in that district, which were brought to light on removing some of the cairns which are there so numerous. Two of these beeps were lately opened on the farm of Corrylea. on the estate of Capt. Robertson of Tullybelton,t in which some interesting monuments were found. which are thus described to us by a correspondent; the cairns were about 160 yards distant from each other. In the first there were three large upright stones, four feet high, and neatly jointed toge. then; the space between them being laid with smooth stones. In the centre of ,the same cairn—but whether sutrounding or aside from the three stones previously described, our informant does not say—there was a circle formed of upright stones, Vim, feet eight inches high, the stones being distant from each othrr about five feet. Within the circle so formed was a belt of slate Rags, about three feet wiee, and the ground thus inclosed an immense quantity of burnt ashes of wood and turf. Near the outside of this cairn, our c , 'respond eta says, there was another place the same as described, but of a smaller size; but whether this refers to the circle Or to the three upright stones does not appear. In the other cairn stood a large stone, seven feet in length, four in breadth, and three feet thick, nor which was cot a represented°w of the sun, moon, and stars. In various places of the cairn these were found vast quantities of human bones and ashes ; arid in the centre of a place of about 70 square feet inclosed by stones S feet 10 inches in height Joined closely together. The ground within this tmehr►ure was full of burnt human bone, apparently . run together into masses by the Action of fire. Near the outside of this cairn were found four graves or pits, surrounded with, smooth stones and covered with flags, also containing human bone and ashes; and about 300 yards front the first cairn tyre was removed a few years since a hillock 60 feet in cinsumference, composed entirely of burnt bones and ashes. Such is the account sent us by a person who was at the trouble of going several times to the places, and taking down his obser vations with every possible caste. There can be little doubt that the ground where these monuments stand hadbeen consecrated to Druidical Bites, and that a more complete investigation of the relit: would well repay the inquiry of the antiquary. if the description of the engraving on the stone be correct, that discovery may be considered one of the molt interesting that has yet been made in Druidical Antiquities—from its connec tion with the well ascertained object of the superstitions of the Celts. There are indeed many circumstance, which contribute to give no common interest to these discoveries. The multitude of human bones—affecting the question respecting Druidical human sacrifices; the contiguity in some instances of the burnt heaps—illus trating the practice of passing between the flies, a cos. tom Which at Beltein is in some places of the country even yet practically kept up, and is preserved in the proverb of a person in straits being a between Bel's tss o fires;' the form and method of the pavement—which many have hitherto thought peculiar to Roman Monu ments; the situation of the larger stones—whether indicative of being altars or how-stoner—these and many 'other clicuusstances a ill call for the ezrmination or the 'antiquary, and probably serve to illustrate some of the finny knotty points connected with Druidical remains.

Shortly after twelve o'clock. all being In readiness, the road was cleared, and at a given signal the mare was gaited at a yanking pace of at least twenty. miles an hour. A clear minute having elapsed, Rattler was let go, and almost instantaneously laid himself down to his work, with extraordinary speed. It was soon seen that be was gaining on the mare, and he was urged. we think rei her unwisely, to increase his pace and improve his advantage.
