THE.47'RES. COVENT-GARDEN.—After the performan:e of the new Tragedy of Virginias, which again pissed off v..ith unmixed approbation, a new Afterpiece, entitled Pie Batik of Bothwe.7 Litigg, was produced at this T!icatre. This ?.lelc-dtalre., which is also called in the bills, " A .S6,tch Itorna%ce," is founded, as indeed it is atoned be, or the well known story of Old ,llortclity, in the "!ales of ,ay I,a;allord, attributed to that great genius, Sir W.-ti.TEtt SCOTT.

In this situation two field-pieces are brought upon the Stage, and after playing for a short time on :he bridge, the centre arch gives way, and the whole hcdy of the Covenantee:, with the fragments of the broken structure, al c precipitated into the river. In this abrupt way the Piece terminates, leaving the : t eectators to their mvp conjectures, whether Henry . 1 1o;ton or Lord Evandale is successful in his pas sion (which they both, of course, have eagerly ex- Tressed dui ir,7, the progress of the Piece), for the Edith 11 , :denden, the heiress of the Tower of Tiliitudlum.

It was also entirely out of character to make Elea pious and austere *Covenanters sing a profane c• - :onus after their success on the Hill of Lnudon.— This may, however, be considered as applying too svereiy the critical scale to a Drama of this particu- I a nature and construction ; and we are very ready to adroit that, with a few judicicus alterations, this Vece may become an entertaining favourite with fee Pehlic.—At the fall of the curtain, when Mr. AB ::o=r came forward to announce the Melo-drame for r.: . 2e.ition this evening, the disapprobation and ap -, eese were so nearly divided, that it is impossible .ay which predominated. lie waited for a con s,de:able time in the hope of obtaining a hearing, r'inding that was not likely to be attained, he leee:ed out that the Piece would be repeated this eleeeg, and withdrew.

WESTMINSTER HALL. The preparations for the approaching Coronation are actively proceeding. Some considerable im provements in Westminster Hall arc nearly com pleted, and further alterations of an extensive naturt are contemplated. The restoration of the Oind win dow at that end of the Hall facing New Palace-yard, is almost finished : the completion of the jambs and the recesses which used to be occupied with full length figures of our ancient Kings, ticc. remains to he dose. It is known possibly but to few, that there is at the opposite end of the Hall, behind the Courts of Chancery and King's Bench, and between which there are steps and a passage leading to the Houses of Parliament, a window as large and grand as that facing New Palace-yard, made in fact to corre.pond %I-lit it. This window is now almost wholly hidden by those irregular and confined C:•urts raised for the King's 13?nch and Chancery ; Courts, too, that re mained oaten to the view of the spectators is the Hall, till the commencement of GEORGE the Third's reign. These two Courts are to be entirely removed, by which means the other grand window will be once - Imre in fail view ; and the workmen have begun to repair t! - .ai part of the window which appears above the Courts. This will greatly improve the appear ance of that fine Hall, which is the largest ip Europe unsupported by pillars. The finely coloured and curious figures of ancient Kings, which are now sta tion,A! over the heads of the Lord Chancellor and the King's Bench Judges, will be restored to the niches remaining in the jambs on either side of this window. This end of the Hall will then present an appearance exactly similar to what it was in " olden time," in Ilicuaeo the Second's reign. That Mo. much, in 1397, repaired the Hall, which was then In a very ruinous condition ; he had the walls raised two feet, altered the windows, and added anew roof, as well as the stately porch and other buildings. The Courts of Chancery and King's Bench are not, it is stated, to be restored to the places that they now occupy, but new Courts are to be erected, acccrkhng to the plan of the late Mr. NVYATT, who was Sur veyor-General and Architect to GEORGE 111. in a line with the Common Pleas and the Cout t of Exchequer. They will thus be built on tile space between the walls of Westminster hail and the stone-buildings which (rent St. Margaret's Church. There is room surfieicut for most commodines Courts. The en tiances, however, will be in Westminster Hall, and be uniform with that which already exists into the Court of Common Picas. This improvement is most desirable, and has been long wanted. These are six large new windaws in progress, on each side of the roof of the Hai!. They are about ten feet in height, and six feet six inches wide, and are of Gothic structure, so as to accord exactly w;th the windows underneath, the workmanship of the roof', &c. and of Bierman the Second's reign. Heretofore, there were only three cr four windows in the roof, introduced since the great repairs, and which were of a small and mean structure; and as to their use, they only tended to make " darkness' visible." The roof, as is known, consists chiefly of chesnut-wood, most curiously constructed, and of a fine species of Gothic. The projections are every where adorned with angels supporting the arms of RICHARD IL or those of EDWARD the Confessor; as is the stone moulding that runs round the Hall, with the hart couchant under a tree, and other devices of RICHARD 11. Time ant alterations have occasioned many mutilations; and those are to be repaired, espe cially those in the roof, made more obvious by the large new Gothic windows. Numbers of workmen are daily employed in the Hall, as well as in large workshops stationed on the space between the Ferry and the Exchequer. The grand dour of the Hall is constantly closed to strangers; the only entrances to the Hall are along the Exchequer Coffee-house-pas sage, and by the House of Commons, from Old Pa lace. yard. THE BRITISH REGALIA. Sr. EDWARD'S CTOWD, or the Diadem of the Coro nation, is an Imperial Crown of gold, embellished with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and pearls. On the top is a mound of gold, encircled with a fillet of the same metal, splendidly jewelled, and surmounted with a golden elms, which bears three very large and valuable pearls. This Crown is composed of tour crosses and fourfleztrs-dc-lis, upon a golden circlet ; four arches rise from the crosses, on the intersection whereof the mound is placed.— The cap is of purple velvet, lined with white taffeta, and faced with ermine. The Crown of State, worn by the KING, on his return from the Coronation, and in the House of Parliament, is in the same shape, but much more splendid. Its crosses andiiez:rs-de-lis are composed of very large and brilliant diamonds, and its mound is an aqua marina, or sea-water diamond, seven inches in circumference, and valued at 4.3 00,000. In the front cross is a rock ruby unpolished. This in estimable stone is of the colour of a cherry, and nearly three inches iti length. The cap of this Crown is also of purple velvet, and faced with ermine. The Golden Orb, which is placed in the right hand immediately before he is crowned, and which, after the Coronation, he carries in his left, is six inches in diameter. It is enriched with a golden fillet, which is bordered with two rows of pearl, and adorned ss ith veq large diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. On the top is an amethyst, nearly an inch and a half in height, and valued at £IL,OOO, and upon which a golden cross is placed, richly set with diamonds, and having a large emerald on the one side, and a large sapphire on the other. It has also four large pcails at its angles, and three at its ends. The whole height of the oi b and cross is eleven inches. The KING'3 Sceptic with the dove is of gold—in length three feet seven inches, in circum ference three inches at the handle, and rather less at the top. The pommel is encircled with a fillet of table diamonds, and three several parts of the rod are richly ornamented with jewels. The mound at the tor is also filletted with diamonds; above it is a small Jerusalem Cross, and above that a dove of white esiamel—the symbol of Mercy. By the death of the Hon. Lewis DramitE, the Championship of England, enjoyed as a right appur tenant to the manor of Scrivelshy, devolves upon a Clergyman, tvh-ase business it will be to ride on horse back into .Westminster Hall at the Coronation, and challenge to fight any- man who denies the title of the KING to the Crown. 1111: KUM Y. • The Gold Cup, by rleven Subscribers of lOgs. each, with 20gs, added, for horsc4, /4.c. of all ages.

Yesterday a match took place upon the River, which, for a long time past, has excited the greatest interest among all water men and amateurs of the oar. It was for fifty guineas a-side, between Goff and Castles, who are considered two of the best watermen on the River. It was a waterman's wager—from the Swan at London Bridge to the Swan at Chelsea. They started precisely at half-past twelve o'clock ; fur a short time they kept together, and neither appeared to have any advantage, hut, at the Southwark Bridge, Castles shot a-head until he had just passed I.llackfriars' Bridge, when Gaff came up with him, and they get foul of each other; in a short time, hoWever, they were disentangled, and rowed in fide style up the opposite shore. At Westminster Bridge they crossed the River beautifully, and rowed on till they came to Horseferry, when Castles, who had the advantage, was forced, by the skilful management of Goff, on the inside against a barge, when, in order to di s engage him sr lt; he placed his hand on the vessel, which circumstance would immediately have lost him the wager, but that Goff, who had not observed the action of his opponent, pulled a stroke or two, which prevented him from deriving the benefit of his adver sarv's indiscretion ; the match must be accordingly rowed again, which will be in the course of a few days. There is a great deal of money depending on the issue. Owing to the fineness of the day, the River boasted of as numerous an assemblage of company as, perhaps, ever was seen on such an occasion; it was completely crowded with boats of all descriptions ; among which were those belonging to and containing the following distinguished amateur watermen— Lord Gxesioatt., Lord rosins, Lord MOLTNEUI, and Colonel Bees:errs- ; and among those belonging to the various Clubs of amateur watermen, were the following—the Funny Club, the Temple Club, the Jovial Crew, the Whitehall Rowing Club, the Eagle Cutter Club, and a variety of others. The fineness of yekterday attracted thousands of visitants to Greenwich Fair. The road to it at an early hour was crowded with pedestrians, equestrians, and carriages of every description, almost entirely enveloped in dust, and nearly fainting in consequence of the beat. Gooseberry Fair, in Tothillfields, had also its rural sports and elegant amusements. At Walham-Green, near Hammersmith, boxing, dogfghting, and other polite amuse ments, took place.- Upwards of 2000 persons were assembled. Towards the evening, the scene became rather tumultuous, and, upon a report that some neighbouring Magistrates, with a body of constables, were on their way to put a stop to the sports, the motley group dispersed sans cerc►nonie. Sunday morning, a numerous gang of fellows as• sembled, during Service-time, in Ilare-street-fields, Bethnal-green, for the purpose ofduck-hunting, dog fighting, &c. They commenced theirsport by setting two dogs to fight ; when information. being given to the Parish Officers, they :.et off with intent to disperse the rabble, but before they reached the spot, they were met by about fifty of them, who commenced a furious attack on the Officers: One of them seized Cornwall, a Headborough, by the throat, dragged him a considerable distance, and beat him on the hr.ad till his skull was fractured. Several of the pa rishioners came to the Officers' assistance, but were obliged speedily to retreat, being attacked with brick bats, and ether formidable missiles. They, however, rescued three of the Officers who were desperately wounded. Yesterday three fellows. named Clayton; Vanderheten, and Chisholm, were apprehended on suspicion of being concerned in the affray, and brought to Worship-street Office; when they \Vete re manded, till the fate of Mr. Cornwall, who lies with but faint hopes of recovery, is ascertained. • Mn. GRATTA N.—The Dublin Evening Post says, " There is an erroneous paragraph in most of the London journals, stating' that Mr. Li RATTAN had sig nified his intention of retiring from the ltepresenta ' tion of the City, and that Mr. H.(inarran, junior, had already commenced a canvass.' We should be much mcAtified if either part ut this were correct ;, on the contrary, we can assure our English 'friends that Mr. G RATTAN'S health has been much amended, and that he leaves Dublin, in the Waterloo steam packet, for Liverpool, to-morrow (Friday last); that a vessel is prepared, to convey him by the Canal, to London ; and that he will take his seat early in the week after next." ..... . - • • SPORTIATO .

The streets and squares at the 'Vest end of the town Lave lately had their echoes ;awakened by the vociferous melodies of an itinerant vender of "Nice hot Yorkshire cakes!" Many persons have thought his strains somewhat too wild and discordant ; and a Lady residing in Berkeley -street, became so annoyed by them lately, that she sent for the stentorian trades ' man, and endeavoured to prevail upon him to intro duce a little more of the Kano in the said strains ; but 'she laboured in vain ; the Forte MIS his only, forte; and finding him perfectly int•actable, she eventually entered into an engagement to allow him a pension of half-a-crown a week, as long as he abstained from following his calling in her street. Poor Stentor closed this engagement with great delight, and a very little cogitation enabled him to see the possibility cf his doing something further in the same way. Accord ingly, though he scrnpulotbly avoi,!s Berkeley -street, he redoubles his voriferations everywhere else in tl , e neighbor: hood ; and the consequence is, that he :s now in active treaty for several other similar pen sions, and he calculates upon retiring altogether front the concern, very amply provided tor. ON TIlE•' IVINDOW TAX. TO ME EDITOR OF TUE STAR. Snt—When the Window Tax was first imposed, the dissatis faction of the Public was as um quivocri:‘ . ; t•NrrtVled ;Is Ilrea any occasion on record. When a Tax so to lOW, yet Fl produc tive, kis been submitted tr, it may genera . 4 he considered ur wise to disturb it ; pet, as new modificariut s seam about to he made in the Assessed Taxes, I . cannot let tl It opportunity past without raising my feeble voice against the continuance of that unhealthy, unjust, and ever-to-he-reprobated part of our Pern:a nent Taxes. There is already a Hou:e Tax paid by the tenant, in proportion to the value of the hone he biliabits; and would it not be more equitable, that the amount rai=cd 1)y Windewil should be gained by an increase of !louse-deity ? This would be at once more just, and would restore to the People the free use and blessing of light and air, and the cheerfulness they produce. Docs not the variation of circumstances demand this change? 1)o we nor see modern villas and elegant detached cottages with as few windows as possible—perhaps not more than the meanest chandler's in the parish ? 1)0 net the m:ddiiog orders, living in old-fashioned houses in ccur:s and alleys, pay more Duty for 'Windows than the wealthy inhabitants of mAern streets and squares?—ln hopes of seeing, by the removal of this Tax, the health of the Metropolis improved, and the industrious part ben find, I am, Sir, yours, &c. D. G. A circular has been issued by the Commissioners for the affairs of Taxes, directed " to the Church wardens, Overseers of the Podr, or Select Vestry," authorizing " the Churchwardens and Oterseers o or Guardians of the Poor, of each Parish, Ward, or place, or any two of them ; or the Select Vestry, or any seven of them ; to require of the Collector or Collectors of such Parish, Ward, or place, an ac count in writing of the sum received by such Co!- lectors, and of the sums in arrear, and of the surrs remaining in his or their hands, and Ilso of the sums paid to the Receiver-General. And if any Collector shall refuse or neglect so to do within fourteen days after such demand shall be made, he shall forfeit 1 1 and pay to the use of the Poor of such Parish, the sum of £20." Silverovhich a few months since was so scarce that the greatest inconvenience to trade was the conse quence, is now become quite a drug in some parts. At Plymouth, where about £.50,000 is annually cir culated through the dock-yard, cash payment, so long desiderated, is become quite the order of the day. Shirt without a Seam I—Mr. Davin AttnEtes-o?t, of the Damask Manufactory, Deanside.brae, mar Glasgow, lately finished a shirt entirely in the loom, without any kind of needle-work. it is intended as a present to the Ilunterian Museum of Glasgow. The neck, wrist-bands, and shoulder-straps, are double cloth, and neatly stitched; the button-holes are wrought with button stitch; it has also the requisite buttons, gussets, and a milk; and on the breast is woven the Glasgow Arms, with the :nett°, " Let Glasgow Sourish!" arc] below, " Woven and presented by DAVID ANDI. RACY." Evidence, it is said, has been given, that all the pikes which were found in the premises of the Cato. street Conspirators, were manufactured at Edwards's older, and that for every one of them the manufac turer was paid by Edwards! The manufacturer him self has come forward to ;;rove this important fact. Yesterday afternoon, as Mr. Sti EFFIELD, of Thames street, accompanied by his wife, in a single horse- chaise, were coming to town, from Sydenham, he was run against by a large heavy cart, which was going at full speed, near the Red Cow, at Dulwich, by which accident Mrs. SHEFFIELD was thrown out a considerable distance, but luckily escaped with only a few slight bruises; Mr. SHELTIE:Li), however, was not so fortunate, he had his left arm broken by the fill, and received a dreadful contusion on his head, besides several severe bruises.
