" His Majesty has had a considerable increase of his disorder within the last week." THE PRINCE REGENT'S COURT.

DRA MATIC REGISTER. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The Play of The West Indian attracted, on Monday evening, a crowded and elegant auditory. It was for the benefit of Mr. WEBB, who, it may he remembered, played one season at CoAnt-Garden; and ha; since been very successful in the metropolis and provinces of Ireland. He sung a number of Irish songs in a very masterly style, and his deli neation of ilifqpr 071aherty possessed considerable merit. Beleour is a character difficult indeed to pourtray—at once impetuous, docile, and truly amiable, it requires much judgment to give even a faint outline of what the author meant his hero to appear. . Mr. SYDNEY played the part with great life, and apparent gnietii de caw.. In the sentiniental points be was truly happy : when he said—" No, Sir, if I knew a man that thunght more humbly of me than I do of myself, I would take up his opinion and forego my own"—applause was most deservedly aud loudly bestowed. The characters, altogether, were sustained with great judgment. Mrs. SYD NEr and Miss Ow EN looked and played admira bly ; and Miss SY D N in Louisa Dudley, was as deserving of the cri tic's warmest approbation as of the cheering applause she was honoured with from a very elegant audience. --- The Drury-lane Committee have adopted a design for the corporate seat of the Company, prepared by the President of the Royal Academy, and highly approved of by hi; Royal Highness the Prince Regent. The design possesses all the vigour and lcassical taste of Mr. West's pencil. The Regent is drawn at full length, in a Grecian robe, with one arm resting on the statue of Shakspeare ; in the other hand he holds a lyre, stretching it forth to re-animate the Muses of Tragedy and Comedy, who are represented in the act of ifrotecting the bust of Garrick upon the ruins of the oh Theatre. The device is most appropriate, and the execution masterly. AatoTaEß SOMA BARONET !—One Edward Per rott, calling himself Sir Edward Perrott, has recently been imposing on the good folks about Deptford, by pretending to be an agent for the Admiralty, and thus palming upon a poor woman, named Mrs. Bullen, an Admiralty protection for her husband ; for which pretended security she paid Perrott 2M. 13s. 9d. in part, and gave him a large mahogany dining tal.)le, and a chest of drawers, as security for the rest. The husband being g impressed, the collusion of ro t ec tion was discovered ; and the Ktul;itt taken up, who stand' committed for trial ! ! THE NATIONAL REGISTERi SPUR'I'h'G. DONCASTER-ST.
