A crowd assembled to learn the cause of it, when they fiaind the sexton prepar ing to open the grave of John Lees. Mier he had come to the coffin, the Coroner was sent for. On his arrival, the sexton knocked off the top of the coffin with his spade, and lifted it up, so that the Coroner could see the breast of the deceased. The stench arising from this exposure was so great, that the Coroner immediately ordered the coffin to -be closed. The people lingered about the church-yard for a considerable time afterwards ; but we hare not heard that any riot ensued. On Thursday morning James Channel :'Lrotlier of the unfortunate Mr. Chennell, of Godalming), was found in a pond between Guildthrd and Godulming, in a Crowning state ; he was rtscued by some farm ing men, who accidentally discovered him in time for animation to be restored, and conveyed to Go dalm:ng ; but lie died in the course of the evening.

Ott , ./liondar evening this theatre opened for the season under the controul of Mr. lilliston, the lessee. " Gatl save the King" had been admirably sung, Mr. Russell led thrward Miss Kei4, who was to speak the opening address; but the audience, after having offered their tribute on the shrine of loyalty, were determined to have their own particu lar Air, and the pert4mers once more appeared to sing " Rule Britannia." Miss Kelly then advanced under peals of applause, and delivered the following ADDRESS. " The &tion.here asserrs her ancient reign, We claim. a moment, her ihfring'd domain : Truth's high comniiaiion to this court I bear, Her genuine dictates, and her purpose fair, Whom now she advoeme3 you long hare trial— Knoourng'd long hi, emolithe pride ; The pride you loyal—on:the, exithing, says, You ne'et daerted whom sort thign'd to raise ! Actor or manager, he still enjoy'd The boon for which you saw his zeal employ. •• Flusli d by your sanction, doubtle►s, now he dazes To magnify his labours and hie cares ; At Atlas' challeng'd strength the glove bath hurrd ; Ills load a pond'rous, tho' a mimic %world.

And t;arrick's magic witch'd them at his will ; Where resting their's oh more exalted pow'rs, Round Sliakveare's sovereign tem they wrcath'd their Bolen, There he the warm devout oblation brings Oran that from admiring ardour springs, All that the sense of present duty fires, . All that imprinted patronage inspires. " On pure intent ambition to depend,- To no by-path his spirit will des-end s The plain, broad road of candour is his course, The Drama's horour his propelling force. Would Comic IVit her attic summit climb? Or Frolic Farce? or Tragedy sublime? Is oral-akin& candidate for fame? Doty Vocal Excellence prefer her claim ? All real Pretension will be welconf d here, And Taste and Genius find their free eaten. This, hi ju,t plan, expectantly he %d..! The confidence his Idith will neer abuse. Courting at large the talent of the age. No fear he owns for his impartial stage. A lib'ral system your support cosines: Mcrit he hails!—and Merit's cause is Yours." The performances.commeneed with Wild Oats, in which Elitism played Rover, Dowton Sir George Thunder, Minden Ephraim Smooth, Knight Sim, Miss Kelly Jane, and Mrs. W. West Laity .Amaranth. The excellence of all these ertablishcd fiivourites of the town is so well known, that we need not enlarge upon it ; but we must notice the delta .of a Mr. Thompson as John Dory—he was evidently im pressed with fear on -his entrance, and even through the evening did not entirely divest himself of alarm; vet, through all this, we think we discovered great promise of future pleasure from his perfivniance, anti it is no mean testimony to his first attempt at Drury lane to say, that he repeatedly reminded us of our old favourite, who was familiarly called. "Jack Ban nister." The House was full to an absolute• overflow in every part, and we heartily hope that Mr. Ellis ton's enterprising spirit, chastened by prudential caution, may be rewarded by aliberal share of pub. lic patronage. En passant we May be allowed to express. our regret that he has adopted Cie play-bill puffing custom of those Underiakers of' the best inte rests of Ohl Drury, the Sub-Committee. They found, and so may he, that a piece once damned could never be made serviceable to the treasury by the puff-direct, and he may rest assured the public has discernment to fill a theatre where they may expect amusement without the inducement of the Managers' praise of his own arrangements. Novelty is what the town must have, and Mr. Elliston ap pears resolved to minister to this taste in every walk of the theatre in a superior style. On Tuesday his operatic force was mnstere'l, and, we need not add, to the delight of the town, when Bruhum, that unique son of the Goddess of Music, is at its head. The Opera was The Devil's Bridge, and while we lamented the absence of Mrs. Diekuns' strength of voice and abstruseness of science in Rosa/risa, we were charmed with the sweetness , of her successor in the character, Miss Carew. Of Mr. Witham's Be lino the highest praise language can bestow is to say, it was as heretofore. Mr. liarley, Mrs. Bland, and Miss Kelly, are so well known, and so fully at home, in their respective characters, that observation on Limn is nceilicss. np; Wild Oals, his been repeated in deference to tile wish of the audience, 'fir.irsday night and S.i.

M. Vandenholf, who ; acoording to some of the Papers,- was engaged to play Mi. Kean's characters at " Drury revived," iestuted in the Liverpool Pa pers to hoe abandoned his em;ugenient with Mr. Elliston, situ% the declaration of that Gentleman, • that he has arrangzil the return of Kean. COVENT CARDER THEATRE...4th Monday evening rIl i ; Awe!, the fifth was revived. we presume, for the purpose of giving Mr. At'Creatly.an opportunity of showing the extent and I versatility of his taler.ts: it this were the view, it succeeded en tirely. for no one unacquainted with him. and admiring him in Mob 1(o', would fora mointnt suptlow it possible for him to itave assumed in so elegant and poluiled a style, the character of the King of England, who was once the " mad-cup Mince of Wales." Of Mr John Kenible, as he has left the stage, we may say, that with all his classical correctness, his manner was too sententious and heavy tin the character. Comparisuns, wit it performers yet befare the public, might be insurable, but we may. without reence, declare 0:1r opinion. that Mr. Weready's high fame will receite additional lustre frcro his admirable performance of Ib or ,, the Miss Foote, Blanchanl, and J. Russel. did fall justice to Calheride. Flatkep. and Pieta'. If this play be repeated, and it unquestionably we rite repetition, we think the proptitturs would eurishlt tl e Mp nity to their establislin er.t, by expunging those oh,cene pr.sso..‘ which a performer cannot deliver without hesitation, mid salmis cannot be heanl without pain to an audience. On Weiltiest'ay evening, a new dramatic I.egend under the title of the (;)riwie Kip.e.ohas produced—names have great irdlu ence, and anxious as we feel fur the stwecsss of MIS lartlarite Theatre, we are sorry they did not introduce their new pi. under the more classical amid better understood title of the Rape of Prom:spine," to which story it has close and coincidtht affinity. 01 the composition of i t piece itself we say nothing. hecause we have not had nine sufficiently to attend to it, but of of the scenery and machinery. we hesitate nut to declare, that the most petfect attempt hitherto made in those lines, fiats far, short of the unequalled specimens exhibited in the Ghats jPeetrp.
