COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.Mrs. Siddons, af ter a retirement of several years from the stage, re appeared on Wednesday night at this theatre in the character of Lady Randolph. The performance was for the benefit of Mr. C. Kemble, and is understood to be for that evening only. The curiosity of the public to see this distinguished ornament of the English stage was extreme ; every part of the house in which places were not kept was filled in a few minutes after the opening of the doors. In order to gratify as many as possible, the orchestra was appropriated, at a very high price, to visitors, and the musicians were stationed behind the scenes.— The reception of Mrs. Siddons was extremely enthu siastic. and the applause bestowed on the most striking passages was both ardent and just. It is indeed surprising how much this extraordinary woman still retains of her original powers. Her narrative of the birth and supposed fate of Douglas, the questioning Old Norral after the discovery of the jewels, and the last parting with Douglas, were all in the finest style. We were much gratified in the scene of the recognition of her son, by the eagerness with which the public raised an occasion, to testify their high admiration of her when Douglas asks— . . •' Itut did my sire se rim , . the rest of men, " da shim excellest all of , ottmokiml ?" a burst of applause cnsucd, which continued for some time without intermission. For the sake of Mrs. Siddons herself, baying once so decidedly quitted it, we can scarcely venture to hint at a return to her profession us a de.irable event ; but we are sure, that such u model, even with every phy.dcal disad vantage, would do more in the present state of tin stage towards rethrming a certain false taste in acting that now prevails, than any other circum stance that can be named. Fs sday being the anniversary dins Majesty's It4tla (lay. when lit emoted into his 82d-year, it was observed inNor wi,h, anti throughout the %minty, by the customary de. snouvti atious of aspect.

Thursday afternoon a woman, genteely dressed, went to the house of Mrs. Carr, a respectable widow lady, residing on the Kent Road, near Dept Call, under pretence of taking lodgings, but whilst Mrs Carr was preparing to entertain her %%WI a dish of tea, she stripped the beaufct of some plate, and walked off with her booty undiscovered. A daring robbery was committed on Thursday near the middle of the day. A thief entered the house of Mr. Hindes, in IVilmot-place, Kent-road. while Mr. Hindes was from home; his -niece was in the upper part of the house at the time; and the maA-servant was in the garden at the back of the house. The thief effected an entrance at the front parlour window, and carried off a silver Fills pot, a number cft , ilver spoons, sugar tongs, &c. and then made his escape. . _ Oa ednesday night, or early on Thursday morning the shop of Mr. James Russell, tailor, in Shoemaker-row, Blackfriars, was broken into, and finished and unfinished cloths, broad cloths, &c. stolen therefrom, to the value-of tool. The rob beries are so frequent in this parish, that we arc doubtful whether the policy of allowing no watch boxes is not erroneous; fur the thief has only to Wait till the watchman has passed, and he knows the exact time. in which he has to effect his purpose, namely, while the watchmen ant sitting at the watch-house tire-side. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Friday the most crowded Court we hare ever seen was held for the transaction of much hoportaut bun' new. THII NSW TAXIS.

Lt what respect, be begged to know, bad Ministers slowed their approba 7 Lion of those principles? INits not their c lust wholly tending to the reverse position? %V hen it was proposed that two Lay Lords of the Achille:thy should lie dis twitted with. Gentlemen who were of no more use than the tables at which they .at as to the•bitsittess lot which they read been chosen, Ministers rejected the .applica tion. Ministers had proposed the immense i• of lu.ttpol. a year to the Duke of York, for services which nolioary toms performed (or nothing at all, and of course nothing could be expected from an admtnistration of such a description. lie then moved 4 resolution n i pinst the taxes, and Petitions to the Honaes of Parliament gronstiled of nit the resolution.
