Tor Royal Standard was displayed on several of the Church steeples, and at one o'clock the Park and Tower gnus were fired.. All the Public Offices were shut ; and at the Stock Exchange it was also a holi day. In addition to the public dinner at the City of London Tavern, preparations for celebrating the day in a similar manner were made in almost every pat ish. in the Metropolis; and there is scarcely a tavern that will not have a dinner on the occasion. It is understood that Mr. R. Clays, Member for Ludlow, will be the mover, and Mr. C. DostoossaE, Member for Newport, Isle of Wight, the seconder, of t!‘e Address in echo to the Speech, on the first day of Parliament. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE has put off his intended visit to Portsmouth, to view Captain CLIFFORD'S ship, the EURYALUS frigate, ordered to the Mediterranean, on account of ill health. The Duke of ARGYLZ entertained a large party yesterday to dinner, in Upper Brook-street.

Tl:e Marchioness CONYNCHA it forwarded £lOO last week to the Rev. Dr. DISNEY, Rector of Slane, to be laid out in clothing and other necessaries for the poor. Ye,terday the LORD MAYOR went in state to open the Session, for the Town and Borough of South wark. The procession passed along the Southway k bridge, where the principal Officers of Southwark were asseml.led to receive his Lordship, who is the first Lord Mayor that ever passed in state along that bridge. A great number of his Lordship's private friends accompanied him in.their carriages. Changes, we hear, are in progress in the Tax-office, Mr. LOWNDES is said to have resigned, and Mr. WIN TER is to be appointed Chairman. Mr. BATES, a Gen tleman of great urbanity, who was Mr. ARBUTHNOT'S Private Secretary, is to be Sect etary in this Office. These is still a bustle at the Victualling Office, and a vast anxiety to " hush up" matters. Several dis missals have, however, taken place: Messrs. SEARLE and AuntN, Commissioners, are dismissed ; and, singu lar as the thing may appear, the former, who was Chairman of the Board, is, it is rumoured, to have a pension. Mr. STAPLETON, from the Navy Office, is to be First Commissioner of the Victualling Board ; and Mr. CLIFTON, of the Admiralty, to be Sectetary. Among the reductions in contemplation by Minis ters, it is said the office of Comptroller of the Pre ventive Water-guard for the Suppression of Smug gling will be abolished, and the business of the office divided between the Custom-house and the Board of Admiralty. The former, it is added, will have the a:l,rigenient and stations of the boats, sitters, and ,4:s' crews; while the latter will have the appoint 7:lent of the Officers, which consist of Captains, Com manders, and Lieutenants, of the Royal Navy, the tatronage of whose nominations is in the Treasury. By advices from Newfoundland, so late as the 6th inst. we learn that the colony is in a state of extreme distress. Among the lower orders, it is said, there are few able to support themselves : the members of the opulent part of the community are so small, that relief was impracticable. Many, it was feared, must perish for want, Meetings of the inhabitants had been Ltld fin. the purpose of raising subscriptions, and the tiovcrnor had intimated to them that a sum. equal to the whole raised by the colonists would be contributed by the Government. Memorials have been sent to Liglantl to claim the interposition of the Legislature. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS The flight Honourable Charles Bathurst, M.

IRELA ATTACK ON THE KILLARNEY COACH, AEl:l'mm- OUS AFFRAY. NEAR :4ACRfIOM. The Cork Mereantat ChroWide of Friday, iontaihs a long letter froin Macroona, dated Thursday, thi 24th instant, giving an account of a serious of 'ray which took place that morning. It was the day on which the Magistrates and Gentlemen hold their weekly meetings. About ten o'clock, a great number of people were seen in groups on the tops of the hills and rising grounds. Macroom was in a state of great alarm in consequence of an account having been re ceived that the Whiteboys were collecting in large numbers in the neighbourhood of Tuathnadrumman, on the mail-coach road, about five miles west of Macroom. A party of the 11th Regiment and a de tachment of the Rifle Brigade, of about eighty men, under the command of a Field Officer, and accom panied by R. H. EYRE, Esq. and several other' Ma gistrates, with the Carbineers doing duty in that town, were immediately dispatched in that direction. Macroom resembled a place actually besieged, or dreading a bombardment. At length, about three o'clock, accounts were received that the Whiteboys were flying in all directions, that several were killed and wounded, and a number taken prisoners. An hour after, the body of one of the insurgents who had been shot was brought into the town, and *As soon followed by some soldiers beating the body of another man who had been killed, and 21 prisoners. From the most accurate information that could be obtained at the moment, it appears that the coach which left Cork that morning for Tralee was stopped near the turnpike of Tuathnadrumman, by a party of Whiteboys, who smashed the coach to atoms, killed three of the horses, wounded the coachman and guard rather severely—the latter received three different stabs of a pike—and ill used the passengers—one of whom, a Mr. LYNCH, of Tralee, was dangerously via.unded. The coach was also pillaged. The Whiteboys, who committed this outrage, see ing Mr. EYRE, with a few Gentlemen, in advance, and not perceiving the troops, were rushing down upon them, *hen the Gentlemen fell back upon the Carbi neers and the party of the 11th Regiment, while a division of the Rifle Brigade, preceded by some Gen tlemen; took a circuitous route, and coming in the rear of the Whiteboys, who were thus placed between two tires, a great slaughter ensued ; the Whiteboys soon fled in all directions, having seven at least kille4, and 21 taken prisoners, some of whom were wounded. The number of the Whiteboys is vat iously stated, by some at several thousands, others say six or seven hundred ; they si ere mostly armed with pikes; had a few spades and shovels; and only one single gun in the whole party. None of the soldiers were hurt, except one man who received a slight wound in the neck with a pike. At five o'clock, an account reached Macroom that a body of some thousand Whiteboys, some said five thousand, were taking possession of Kilbarry, the re sidence cf JAMES BARRY, Esq. four miles south-west of Macroom; that his family bad escaped, but fears were entertained that the house would be destroyed. Mr. BARRY was fortunately at Macroom. The communication between Macroom and Bantry is not yet entirely open even to the military ; the whole county, so far as the tops of the hills can be con sidered so (and the road generally runs at the bottom of the hills), is in possession of the peasantry, who manifest every hostile disposition, making others join them, under threats of instant death. One party en tered the district a few nights ago, roused the pea santry from their beds, and threatened to set fire to their houses unless they joined them. Captain FITZCLARENCE has addressed a letter to 'the Editors of the Cork Papers, stating that he was not with the detachment that reconnoitred a party of Whiteboys, near Macroom, on Wednesday, as he was at that time patrolling between Blarney and Frimont. TIPPERARY. A letter from Nenagh, dated January 25, states that town to be in a dreadful state of alarm ; a man of the name of Horan, who was taken prisoner by two Yeomen, disengaged himself from them, stabbed one of them in the back, and escaped; at this time No r an's father, a man 80 years of age, hearing some noise in the street, opened the front door, and looking out, was fired at by one of the Yeomen, and severely, it is said, mortally wounded. 'The letter adds, that a general engagement with the Yeomen was expected. A letter from Listowel, dated January '23, gives an account of an attack on the house of Mr. LYNE, of Ballyanesy, by a party of Whiteboys, who were, however, beat off; and, it is supposed, some of them must have been killed, from the quantity of blood seen in the yard next morning. Sunday, the 20th instant, Captain Cita procx and Lieutenant GREEN, of the 22d Regiment, surprised a 'fellow swearing in some people at a public-house in ' Newmarket, and, after a lung struggle, succeeded in taking some papers from them, which they attempted to destroy. We understand that those papers are of a most treasonable kind, and plainly shew that the in surgents aspire to objects of a much more important nature than the abolition of tithes. A Circular, from the Lord Chamberlain's Office, Dublin, announces that the celebration of his MA JESTY'S Accession to the Throne is postponeJ sine die. The Anniversary (f Mr Fox's Birth-day was cele brated on Wednesday, at Edinburgh and Glasgow, with equal zeal as at Norwich. Among the company who met for the purpose at the Waterloo Hotel, Edin burgh, were Sir RONALD FERGUSSON, M P. in the Chair, supported on the right by the Earl of Rossom, and R. FERGUSSON, of Raith, Esq. and on the left by Lord LOUGHBOROUGH, and the 1108. WILLIAM MA ULE, M.P. FRANCIS JEFFREY, Esq. croupier. Saturday night three young men, confined in New ington watch-house on a charge of felony, were libe rated by a companion, who filled the large padlock on the outside with gunpowder, which blew it to pieces. The watchmen came up, on hearing the re port, but the birds were flown. Yesterday some mischievous fellow put some salts into a kettle on the parlour-fire, at a public-house near Hatton-Garden. Some persons who called for mixed liquor became sick, and fearing they ,tvere poisoned, the water was analyzed, and the true in gredient discovered. Tuesday evening an explosion of gas took place in the shop of Mr. SimPSON, grocer, Quayside, Newcas- Ide, which shattered the windows and destroyed the counter, &C. 3'thATREi Al A •••••••••••••m DRURY-TANI TliZATlllL— . —illere was a time that the vegantmuncement of a new Tragedy set the whole town in rnoti t on; when the whispets of authors and the enquiries of patrons had no other object than to ciis'cO ver the new dramatist, the subject of the Piece, ilho were to sustain the principal characters, &c. The first night's parfo"....ance was looked to with intense anxiety—the boxes teemed with an assemblage of rank and fishing}, while the critics possessed them- . selves of the thud and fourth rows in the pit, almost' the moment that the doors were opined l but now, such has been the decline of the Drama, that it has engeadered apathy and listlessness; a new Tragedy may be acted without one-half of the fashionably world either knowing or caring anything about it ; and should there be a tolerable audience, it has been' rather drawn together from curiosity than in the hopes of enjoying that "feast of reason," that intel lectual banquet which our elder dramatists taught the Public to expect, and rarely disappointed them. Last night we were attracted to Drury-Lane to witness the first representation of a new Tragedy, en tiled Owen, Prince of Powys; or, MIA Fends. The scene is laid in Wales; the period we have not been able to discover ; for although there is a King Henry, yet we are left in uncertainty whether be is a lawful Monarch or a Norman ad venturer. Be this as It may, the King finding resistance to his do mination over Wales in Owen of Powys (Mr. Kern), the son of Cadogan (Mr. Pore), the head of one of the noblest families in Wales, sets a price on the head of Owen, whom he proclaims a traitor, and what is still worse, promises the hand of Theo dora (Miss Enntrrob), betrothed to Owen, to Gerard (Mr. Batt mato), whom he appoints his lieutenant and Lord of the Mirches. At this period, Caddgan, who has been obliged to submit to the English arms, giv e s a banquet to the English Gene ral, and numerous Welsh Nobles; and, in the midst of it, while Gerard is pressing his suit to the Lady Thelidnra, having re ceived the unction of her father, Owen enters the hall at the head of a band of his followers, and claims his betfothed bride of her father; whose consent being refused, he appeals to the Lady, and she deciding in his favour, be, aided by his fol lowers, carries her off in safety to his retreat in th e mountains. Here Madoc ' a relative of Owen, pretending to be in the interest of his kinsman, but secretly devoted to the English Mo narch, and privately attached to Theodora; joins him, and ex citing the apprehensions of Owen for the safety of his mistress in such a situation, offers to take charge of her, and lodge her se cure in a castle of his, deemed impregnable. The unsuspecting Owen confides Theodora to the care of his relation, who having thus got the Lady into his power, throws off the mask, and de clares his passion, offering her the alternative of consenting to become his bride, or suffering death by being thrown from the battlements of the tower in which he has confined her, down a steep precipice, into a rapid torrent running at its base. The lat ter alternative is, of course, preferred by the Lady, and she is handed over to Tudor, the confidant of Madoc, with orders that the threat of instant death shall be carried into effect. Tudor, however, though he undertakes to be the agent to carry this cruel order into effect, saves the Lady, but returns to his em ployer with the assurance of her death. Di adoc then returns to the camp of his confiding friend, whose anxious inquit les after Theo dora be answers by saying she bas eloped with the English General. Owen's despair at receiving this information for a time suspends his faculties, but he is roused by hearing that the English forces have attacked and destroyed Powys Castle, and murdered his father; vowing revenge, he leads his followers to attack the English forces, but is defeated through the contrivance of Madoc, to whose castle he, unsuspicious of his treachery, flies for refuge. Here, having got the hero in his power, Madoc undeceives him, declares the hatred he has conceived towards him, on account of his having rivalled him in the affections of Theodora, and gives orders to his followers immediately to murder their prisoner, when he is appalled, first, by the voice, and then the appear ance, of Theodora (whom he supposes dead) from an adjoining apartment. For an instant his conscience overpowers him ; but soon discovering that Tudor had deceived him, and that Theodora was still living, he orders !kith should be seized and conveyed to death. They are, however, preserved by the en trance of a body of Owen 's troops, who, having been informed of the Prince's danger by Tudor, have forced the castle. Owen escapes with Theodora, but an arrow strikes her, and she dies in her lover's arms. T he enemy now presses fiercely, and Owen, rendered desperate by his wife's death and his country's wrongs, rashes back to the combat, and, after performing prodigies of valour, returns mortally wounded, relates how he has slain the villain Madoc, learns that his little band has been victorious, and then dies. Such is the story of Omen, Prince of Powys; a Play which has none of the dignity of Tragedy, either in language, plot, or incident, and which is nothing more than a Melo-drama in five acts. It is almost entirely void of originality, and there is scarcely a line or an incident that may not be traced as borrowed we except, however, the Welsh mode of courting, a few centuries ago, by threatening an uncomplying fair with throwing her headlong from the turrets of the castle. Almost every Tragedy, from the time of SHAKSPEARE down to Mr. WALKER'S Wallace, appears to have been laid under contribution. We have Pierre's challenge to the conspirators, from Venice Preserved—" Is it you, or you, or you ?" &c. " I'll punish home," from King Lear; and " She speaks, she lives, and we shall still be happy," from GARRICK',,S interpolations in Romeo and Juliet ; but, to adopt a lice from CHURCHILL We hate even Garrick, thus at second hand!" From the Tragedy of Wallace several incidents have been borrowed ; but of this we, perhaps, ought not to complain, since the new Tragedy is said to be from the same pen, and an author may surely borrow from himself ; though we confess the incidents did not appear to us sufficiently striking for repetition. —lt is not, however, from Tragedy alone that our author has borrowed, as that most extravagant of all Melo-dramas, Thires?, has furnished the incident of Theodora's appearance after her supposed death, to scare the soul of her murderer. Although we are reluctantly compelled to be thus severe on the author, we must say that the actors did everything that could be done for the piece. About the middle of the first act the audience became im patient, but, fortunately, at that moment KEAN ap peared, and all was well. We never saw this great actor exert himself more, in every scene where he had the slightest opportunity : his manner of walking with an abstracted air into the room in Madoc's Pa lace, and throwing his arm unconsciously on the table, was very true to nature; he turned on the villain, when a word unmasked him ; with a noble energy, and, in staggering and falling in the vain attempt to inquire the result of the contest in the last scene, gave one of those pictures of the mortal struggle between the spirit and its destiny, which are so peculiarly his own. Mr. COOPER, in Madoc, exerted himself with great success, and made some excellent hits in several passages. Miss EDM I STON gave good effect to some of the scenes, and played very well. We have never seen PENLEY to more advantage than in Tudor; and Messrs. POPE, FOOTE, BROMLEY, and BA RNA RD, did justice to the author. The Tragedy was well received 1 throughout, and announced for repetition with very slight symptoms of disapprobation.

Friday, his Ms.orsvir's ilotitids turned out a deer, near Long: ford, Which at first took towards West Drai-ton, and crossed the 'different streansi to the right of Colnbrook and the Park. through leer and Langley Broom; crossed the Bath road through the enclosures, to the left of Ditton Park, by Wyndsbury, and crossed the Thames, to the left of Old Windior, then by Engle field-green, and afterwards leaped the paling of the Great Park, and ran out at the other side towards Ascot Heath, *hen it was taken in a large pond. Wednesday, upwards of a hundred Gentlemen assembled at West Auckland, to meet the Earl of Daatstrovos's Fox Ifound4 which on that morning threw off at 'Woodhouse Rush, near that village. Reynatd war soon found and dislodged, and after a gallant run of 40 minutes, nearly the *hole time in view, he war killed near Witten-le- Wear. A young Gentletian of only twelve years of age took the brush. The Earl of 11A BEWOOD'S Pox Hounds bad a most excellent day's sport on Wednesday. The first fox was killed in gallant style, after a run of one hour and twenty minutes; a second fox was found, and run to ground, after a severe chace of two hours and 55 minutes. All the horses were completely tired. Friday, Ali. HILL s Fox Hounds had a very pretty run of about three hours, and scarcely had a check. The latter part of the run was particularly fine: the fox, in making for the clifft at Scarborough, tried to earth on tiver's Mount, but being closely pressed was prevented, and obliged to run towards the town, and was shortly afterwards gallantly rim into on the sands between the Life Boat House and Spay. The ambition to get the brush was great ; the horsemen who were up the cliff dis mounted, and Lieutenant CAMPBELL (who got the brush), in de scending the cliff, took a leap of eight yards. A Gentleman, while following the Duke of GRAFTON'S hounds on Monday se'nnight, was thrown from his horse, and had hie thigh broken. He was in the act of opening a gate near Cub.: lington, when the animal made a sudden plunge, which unhorsed him, and caused the accident. CHESTER, Jax. 25.—Sir ROBERT MA'S harriers have bad three brilliant runs within the last fortnight. The first on Satur day, the l 2th inst. when a bag fox was turned out at Steele, near Frees, which immediately crossed Whitchurch-heath, left the Twemlows to the right, and up to Ightheld ; thence to Cloverley Hall, at the back of which he passed through a small cover, and proceeded to Shavington, where, owing to the hares being very numerous, he was lost after a severe run of 45 minutes best pace. —The second was on Thursday se'nnight, when another bag fox was turned out, near Admiral Bowels 's seat, at Cotton, which made off to the right for Wm, where he was viewed, and thence crossed to the back of the Clive, through the grounds at Sansaw, by Hardwick, to Hadnal, between which place and Astley he was killed, after a most excellent run of an hour and a half : During the chace the Ellesmere Canal, and the river Roden, were each crossed; and out of seventy horsemen at starting, so severe was the running, only fifteen were up at the death.—The third was on Monday last, when another bag fox was turned out at the same place, and immediately ran up the wind for the first two miles to very near the village of Whitall, which he passed to the right; thence through a deep country to Whit church-heath, by the Twemlows, almost to Ightfield; front whence he proceeded to Cloverley, where, unfortunately, after the hounds had run an hour and a quarter without a check, a hare sprung up before them, and caused a delay of quarter of an hour; the huntsman, however, succeeded in recovering the scent on to Styche, where many of the sportsmen (having a great distance to return home) gave up the chace, which renders it out of our power to say whether Reynard lost his life or not. 4id sd COURSING. Tuesday, a large Coursing Meeting was held at Cansdale, near Hunmanby. The day being extremely fine, attracted the greatest number of sportsmen ever remembered on such an oc casion; the dogs were selected from-the best breeds that could be produced on the Yorkshire Vt'olds, upwards of :80 horee men were on the ground, amongst whom were observed Major- General the Hon. GODFANY BOSTILLE, Sir F. and Lady Boyz von, W. Iluosott, Esq. M.P. Captains Soutsmr and HICKAZY, Rev. F. F. Bowxs, C. ltterAvy, T. RICKAIIY, C. T. SOCLIRY, VANSITTANY, H. BOYNTON, G. WALMCLEY, Esqrs. HEADEN, WOODIIALL, &C. with a great many other sportsmen. Witicursrea, JAN. 26.—Yesterday, as a party were coursing at the Grange, a hare was started, which, after running over two fields, went to ground in a fox earth. The party procured a spade, &c. and after three hours hard labour, took out the hare, and turned her off before the dogs again, when she shewed goodsport, and was killed by two noted dogs, Eclipse and Mag pie, after a hard run of at least a mile. Monday, at Southampton, a man undertook for a trifling wager, to run seventeen miles and a half in two hours. He ran thirteen miles and a half with apparent ease, in one hour and thirty-five minutes, when he sprained his ancle , which put an end to the bets, as he lust his wager. Cnictiesrze, JAN. 26.—Sambo Cueljoe, a black stripling, un dertook on Wednesday afternoon, to run on the road between North-gate and the Broyle Barracks, near this town, eight miles in fifty - three minutes. He had sixteen turns to m ake, and the concourse of people (it being market day) was immense, and caused his failure, he being seven seconds over the time. A handsome collection was made for him.—He is certainly equal to the performance. The amateurs of Cock-fighting in the Eastern part of the County, have had two grand days play this week, and attracted a very numerous company; among whom were many of the first-rate sporting characters. The great abilities of the favourite feeders of the day from the Cock-Pit Royal, Flemng and Nash, were opposed to each other, and the whole went off with much ec'at. The termination was in favour of Fleming, viz. Ist day—Fleming, 5 mains 4 byes; Nash, .1 mains 4 byes.- 2d day—Fleming, 2 mains 4 byes ; Nash, 2 mains I bye.—The rarity of a drawn battle occurred, both cocks being killed the first meeting, neither being enabled to claim the last blow.
