D7ZURY-LANE The Comedy of The Tour/alone was repeated on Wednesday night to a crowded awl elegant audience, anal received throughout wiai general bursts of applause. It is certainly u pleasant production, an .1 promises to become a favourite. After the Comedy a new Spanish Divcrtisement was perfmned with complete success. It is a deuce of the most picasiog athl elegant description, and takes place in a sph.n lid awl to ist beautifully orna mented hull.

The language is good, some situations are beautiful, and the unities tolerably well observe-I. The author is much indebted to the line acting of Miss O'Neil, Messrs Young, C. Kemble, and Macready, who all rivalled each miter in the excellence of their pertlirmances. Miss O'Neil's acting surpassed every thin,, ever seen b2fore. Can it therefore be wondered at, that the piece was given out for Mutably without u dissentient voice. ST SO ERS.

It seems this wretched man had meditated this revenge upon :ds master ever since harvest, when th e y had souse angry words, which provoked the latter to strike him, and tura hies out of his employ.

We leant with regret, that the temporary tranquillity which had existed at the East India College at Haileybury has been spin in terrupted. There have been college councils held, and juvenile council, held ; and whatever might be the comparative wisdom dii. payed in debate, the actions, at least, emanating from the latter councils, were the most decisive and powerful, terminating in an attack upon the council-chamber itself of the learned Professors. alr. Principal is said to have been chased, with very opprobrions language, by a dog with a tin kettle tied to his tail ; one of the Tu. tms wi., beaten, and the Steward had his head broken. On the con miry, the acts emanating front the council-chamber of the Masters. though they might possess much wisdom, were deficient in vigour. Some of those punishments which are with great propriety called re.vtleations—as sending the youths from the populous City of Hert ford t leath to tie retirement of London—were pronnanced only. A most destructive fire happened Monday la tat Allhourne.

Mr. Lockett, Student at Law, was committed to the Fleet, on Wedne alay, by the Lord Chancellor, for having clandestinely mar. tied Miss Edward,. a ward of Court, while the settlement was pond: ing with the Nlit.ter fur his marriage. Tuesday, in the case of Mrs. Bazeley, the ward in Chancery, the Lord Chancellor gave an order for the payment of a further sum of 0001. for the maintenance of the lady :rid her two children. Mr. Bazeley„ the husband, still continues a prisoner in the Fleet.
