THEATRICALS. .7!0- COVIRNT-GARDENefiIe success which the exertions made at this Theatre to obtain the public approbation fully deserve, appears likely to crown their indefatigable zeal. On Tuesday a new tragedy, called Wallace, was pro duced at this house. It is Wooded on the memorable portion of Scottish history, which regards the contests of Wallace against the English power ; the envy of Scot land's Lords towards the lowly born but triumphant warrior and patriot ; and the final destruction of Ifiillace by the treachery of Monteith. History, however, is out closely adhered to ;—bui the alterations and additions are such as were deemed requisite -to the adoption of the story to the stage. We Deed not follow the author through the plot. The character of iVallace was allotted to, and ably sustained by Macready. Wallace appears, at that period of the Scottish story, when he had been appointed Reg sit; and the envy of the Thanes and leader; of the army shews itself while they are in coun• ca. His oiler to resign such honour does not improve their peelings; but the occasion affords the actor an op portunity, of which he availed himself, to deride the littleness and jealousy by which they are actuated.— Wallace has also good room for display, where a mes senger from Englafid's Edward presents himself to the leaders, calling on them to acknowledge that King; and when he afterwards proceeeds to speak of the " rage" which their disobedience might still arouse in that Monarch's breast. hlacready was extremely happy in the style in which he indignantly taunted and threw back the threat held out, to beware of the Sovereign's rage. Wallace is married to llekti (Mrs. Bunn), but the marriage is not publicly known ; and Belem was belneed by two other personages, who are also Wallacis com panions in the field, namely Douglas (Mr. C. Kemble), and Monleith (Mr. Abbott). The first, boweter. acts with heroic disinterestedness, deploring kis fate, but de. voting his life to befriend both Wallace 'and Heim. The other. Monteith, is finished treachery and villatiy. On Wallace being driven back into the northerwand moun. tainous parts of Scotland, after reverses in the field, Monteith finds him, and learns the secrets of his situ ation and his forces; and he then betrays he hero to " proud Edward's power. This last a 1 Juilsive i il treachery from so warmly professed a (ft . • s trikes deep into the warrior's heart ; and with s and memory, he loses for the time all desire fur further ex. istence. Nor does Monteith shrink from avowiug,-,kik • deeds, he boasts of them to the deceived IViillace ; and and lie afterwards exults before Helen how he had de. craved her lord. When endeavouring to bear her off, however, poetic justice was inflicted on Monteith by the arm of Douglas; and the death of that traitor to friend ship rescued the author front a very perilous situation.— But Wallace is in chains, and is led to the block, re fusing life on conditiou that be wiaild forswear his . country, and ackodwledge King Elward. The con cluding scene was most appalling, possibly too much so; as Wallace is seen to tnount the scathild, and Betas afterwards approaches, she is supposed to behold the fatal axe inflict its mortal blow. Ste then falls into the arms of Douglas. The curtain fell amidst loud end mint decisive marks of approbation, and the tragedy, which is front the pen of a very young man, named Walker, has been lepeated with increased effect. We have nu doubt of its becom ing a standing favourite. DRURY LANE TnEaTaz.—While the manager of this theatre cannot, or will not furnish any thing worthy of criticism, he contriver to add to ilte unpopular Belong of the public by all the means in his power. ( From oar Bowsfreet &part) " On Thursday evening three young men who gave their names Hill, Greene, and Davis, were brought to this office in the custody of Lewis Lewes, a con stable from Drury-lane theatre. The officer had appre hended them in the act ot distributing a great number of hand-b Ils, tending to cause a distornance io the two. shilind gallery of that theatr., and throwing a great number of them intd the pit. The hand-hill was headed " God save the Queen," dated Thursday, N.A.. Id, 1820, proceeding with au address tu_the audience, as follows : " The audience are respectfully inflamed that the following new sung, with new music, called ' Cod save the Queen,' has been sent to the leader oi'ilte baud in this theatre; and, should it be requested by the audience, it is presumed it will be perforniad." " Four verses followed, each ending with ' God save the Limo': " l'he prisoners had beets examined before Mr. Birnie in the manager's room, that inigistrate ha ppentrig to lie its the theatre. Davis said lie was a carpenter, and knew nothing of the oilier prisoners., Hill and Greene, but happened to sit near them, and assisted diens to distri bute the bills. Hill and Greene said they were printers, and were apprentices to NIL Coe, Little Carter-lane, St. Paul's whose name appeared at the bottom of the hills. " The prisoners were not detained in eu-to ly, or re quired to find bail; but after sigoilig the account they ;4iVe of thrnlse h ea, &c. they were discltarged, leacilita it to the managers to prosecute thew, Ur ,NI r. Cite, die printer." Now we would ask of that model of sapiency, the stipendiary magistrate, or of the sui PROPR lEl'Ol4 of 1./mu-lane theatre, in his soi•re moments, if the) can he discovered, of what Ca INI E thoue three youn a wen hail been gitiby. %Ve ardently nape that means will he taken (to tvhich we shalt 111,kt gladly to cum nice tin se gi• unleme ), bytiages (or lake W W II. ti soinelil, the lair slurs a linrise a 111111 k being dragged out ul a tlicatr.., till some aggression, which it recottnizes as au olicuPP, has bee tt , euninljued.

We have already announced to our readers the• arrival of satisfactory intelligence from the Deal Party of Settlers at the Cape of Good Hope, and have now the further satition of stating, that letters, dated " New Deal, 23d of August" last, have been received previous accounts confirming in every respect the ; we have been favoured with the perusal of one of these letters, which states " that the party were all well, and have no doubt of do. ing well; they have already on their grazing grounds 25 bullocks and cows, have sown their bread corn, have cabbages, planted out, radishes (of seed carried from Deal) fit to pull, peas and beans up ; a division of the party attends solely to fishing, which employment produces them enough to keep the whole. The first anniversary meeting of the Seamen's Friend Society was held on 'foetid iy at the City of London Tavern. Lord Gambier took the chair, and stated the object of the meeting, which was to disseminate religious sentiments among seamen, and keep up a 'stock in different naval stations fur the use of seafaring persons. A number of naval of& cers attendtal, and gave several instances of the subordination and benefit derived by commanders of ships from the constant use of prayer among the crews. A latge subscription was entered into, and several resolutions adopted to promote the object of society. • . Discovery Ships.--The Lords of the Admiralty have printed, lithographically, a chart of the track of the Hecla and Griper, on their north-west ex pedition. Some copies of the chart have been dia. tributed among their friends and men of science, which convey some information respecting i the di. mensions of Lancaster Sound. Measured by the eye, without reffirence to a scale,st appears to be about one hundred and fifty miles lon7, and from twenty to twenty-five miles broad. On leaving the Sound, die ships proceeded about one hundred miles to the southward, and then returning to the point from which they had diverged, proceeded in a direct line to the west. Notwithstanding the attempts to decry the value of the discoveries that are accomplished or contemplated, much commercial benefit has already resulted from the navigation of these trackless seas. The confidence acquired by the experience of Cap tain Ross, has this year induced the whalers, who had been intimidated at the horrors of the higher regions, to venture, as was suggested, to the mouth of Lancaster Sound ; and the consequence has beam. that they have returned with fuller cargoes than were ever known. It is a most lamentable fact, that while a strong military force is keyt up in a time of profound peace, at a monstrous charge to the country, the police is totally inadequate to contend with the bands of organised ruffians that infest the streets, to the peril of our property and lives. I'hii yearly cost of a sin gle regiment of cavalry would, applied to the increase of the pulite establishment, be more than sufficient to remedy this evil. There is, however, unhappily, . DO more specious pretext for the intervention of the military than the inadequacy ot' the civil power, to strengthen which would render the calling out of soldiers unnecessary, and deprive the town of that display of the pomp and glitter of arms, which is so admirable and solid a substitute for the old-fashiontal bourgeois security the metropolis once enjoyed. A Frankfort article states, that news had be received from Berlin which had caused a • sensation in that part of Germany. The r ape v r Alexander is said to have withdrawn fir• Eng lish the privilege which they have %alien° exclu sively enjoyed, of supplying Rteaii with clothing, and to have conferred it on umpuily of Prussian manufacturers. " This c ~n of the Russian Monarch will (it is sail the new life to the cloth manufactures of Silesia and the oe her countries of Germany. It is calcu:ated that England will lose by the change several millions." There does nut appear to be sufficient authority for this intelligence to entitle it to much attention. In consequence of Sir W. Scott deciding in favour of the right to inter in iron coffins, the corpse of Mrs. Gilbert, which has been kept unburied by the parish of' St. Andrew, Holborn, since March, 1819, will be buried in a pate wrought-iron coffin at St. Andrew's burying ground, Gray's lain-lane. In York Consistory Court, on Thursday the ed inst. a suit of divorce was decided, which had been instituted by Mrs. Millicent Killingly against her husband, both residing a t Nottingham. The plea tif the wile was ado licry, and the fact bang admitoll by Mr. Nichol', the dvtiaidittles advocate, the Court pronounced tiar the divine*, It is reratul in the purlieus of Carlton House, that a very extensive ha of prom ~ .iuos in tie Peerage, applying to the late Avg P,A;rs, will aii pcall immetinitely. /~ 17 i I if! 1. ~ .
