The illuminations last night were ;areal, and the devices at the principal houses were chiefly illuminated representations of the royal insignia, and of the letters G. It. There were a few transparencies, but they were not remarkable for any particular attraction.

This day (Thursday) the Corporation of Windsor will, it Is said, present their address to the King, although some double lambent expressed upon the formslity of receiving a corpo ate address (except in the case of the City of London), sod Midvale.' was settled last night upon that point. The go vern expectation was, that the King would receive the &d -ives to-day, and in the evening the Corporation will give a greed dinner. it is said that Ms Majesty leaves the Castle to-day, to hold a Comet' at Carlton House, and that he returns to Windsor It the evening.

I.—Yesterday, about Ave o'clock, the So ederLef Bachelors, and the Gentlemen of the Committee, met t Town Halt. from whence they went in procession, with misers flying, followed by the charity boys, with white wands la Asir hands, two by two. The Royal Fuslisers' band, with deems and fifes, joined the procession, which proceeded to Mr. Adoiss's slaughter house, near the Long Walk, where there was a lee ox, end two sheep, waiting ins waggon, to be taken to the Bachelor's Acre, to which place they were drawn by four tinhorn*, adorned with ribbands. The band struck up " 0 the Rout Beet:oft:H(l England." They proceeded through the =al streets of the town, sad round the Foot Barracks , at byslx or seven hundred spectators.

THEATRICALS. DRURY Leas.--a This theatre opened last night for the *inter season, with The Rivals; a thing willed a comic sketch, under the name of Stella and Leatherlungs; and a new ballet called Copid aid Folly, or the Court of Love. Previous to the performasce the • company executed God save the King" indiffcrently well ;" but there were ears so tickled by singing out of time and tone, that they de manded anencore, probably in the hope that it would be done better on a second effort. They were however disappointed, and gave up the matter in despair. Sutra's bass was the only exceellot portion of it. Miss Pewee sings too sweetly and owes too much ornament for the energetic simplicity of the music. A little master who led, might as well have been pot into the character of Neptune or Hercules : and Miss newt did net add to the effect. As the p er. formers entered, in their respective characters, in The Rivals. they were warmly greeted, by a moderately full house. DAYTON, ELLISTON, and Mrs. HARLOWS, were ad. mirable in their respective parts; particularly the for neer, who never played with more spirit or effect. HA R. LIT performs Acres with his usual bustle, ar.d was as laughable as even SHERIDAN could have wished, though be is not quite so genteel as the original represent ative of the character. WALLACE'S Faalkner was played with sufficient caprice, but lie does not fill out the part to oar satisfaction. The new Sir Lucius (TTrigger. Mr. IV **JAW. acted and spoke with great propriety, bit little force. The part affords little opportunity for display ; and it requires great talent to raise it into any emin•nce. Our new performers will shine more in characters where awe bustle is required. The calm gentility of Sir Leeks/be dead weight upon the shonlders of en ordinary performer. Miss LYDIA KELLY, known to the London boards some time since, by the performance of Juliet, Ophe- 1 lie. &c. made her appearance as Lydia Languish, and played it with considerable applause.—She does out seem to us to be esactly fitted for the character. There is too much strength in her acting, for the sickly sensibility of Miss Langaish. Her angel was absolutely of tragic force; and her description of the garden love scenes was much too impassioned for the delicacy of a confirmed novel reader. Site will never theless be an acquisition to the theatre. Her voice is good. and she speaks distinctly enough to be heard; a great acquisition in some female characters, which are accus. towed to be lisped out in so weak a manlier, that not a word can be heard beyond the orchestra, Mrs. %V. WEST played Julie, as she plays Mrs. Onoxa was the Lucy, and made almost as mech of it, as Mrs. (hams would have done. The David of Kumar was in his best style. The Fagg of Pan LICT was sot so good. He has too mach to say. and makes a little too free with his master. Of the new piece. as-nothing good can be said, we bad perhaps better say nothing. It is a gnat injury to Miss CLaaa Emma to be pmt forward in characters. to which she is inadequatearbile there is so widea scope for her ex traordinary powelffi to delight us in. The story is a plagia rism of the Actor of all Work, and whirs of that stamp. A country nseatager has engaged a star. Miss FlBlllll. and his company leave him and the star to manage matters by' themselves. He contrives, however. by a bribe of five pouts s, to detach Leatherlangs from the conspiracy. and induce him to snood the efforts of the star, in the tidiest-- sal of various scenes of Pantile's*, Shyloek, Falstaff; Nor val, and Little Pickle. Though this might do well enough for the country, it was a miserable display for the metropo lis. We remember that on the engagement of Miss Flamm MR. ELI.IsTON told us she would play only such characters as her appearance would sanction with probabi lity. Is Shylock one of these? Is Falstaff, is Paatfloss at all adapted folios. powers ? A tolerably inienickry of the best oreformen in those parts could hardly be endured. — Of Falstaff we base no adequate representative among the adults of his own sex. What could be the Falstaff of a child, wed that child a girl? The apparent cruelty of din• approving the really clever. through misdirected efforts of this little genius, prevented the absolute condemnation of the piece; but HARLIT felt all the difficulty of his situation, and if the manager is pendent for himself. or just to Miss Kunio, the piece will not be repeated. The ballet was good. and the scenery splendid. Mr. and Mrs. Nont,a, Mr. and Mrs. Oscan Hwang. and Miss Tams, maintained their reputation " on the light fantastic t0e."... the two new drop scenes attracted great attentlon.A novelty in the steno painting department is a fan-light over a chim ney piece ! We forgot to notice that on Monday Liston took his benefit at the Haymarket. and had a bumper. The enter taiaments were select, and excellently performed. A con certo of somewhat too refined a nature for a benefit gallery audience, was performed by Mr. Harvey; and from the lateness of the hour, and the impatience of the gallery visitors, it was not so patiently beard as the excellence of the 1110.1 C, and of the executioa would bate entitled it to, on any other occasion. COVVIT-GARDEN THEATRIC.—This house opened for the winter season with little show of novelty except the em bellishments bestowed on the interior, with which the public are already . acquainted. Their effect last night was exceedingly pleasing, and the audience manifested their sense of the comforts provided for them by an unusual liberality of applause whenever they bad an excuse fur affording it. Soon after seven, the drop scene was raised, and a portion of the company, exclusive of its principal members, was discovered, with Mr. Fawcett, the stage manager, in the centre. "God Sane the Kiag" was then sung, but none of the verses were given as solos, except the two last, which were executed by Mr. Domed and Mss Love. The majority of the audience was apparently satisfied with this demonstration of loyalty, but a few of the more zealous were determined to obtain a repetition of the song, and succeeded after a short struggle. The comedy of Much Ado About Nothing followed, cast as in last season, with the whole comic strength of the establish ment, except that Miss Jones played the part of Hero instead of Miss Foote, who had been duly advertised to perform this character, as well as Phoebe in Rosina, fur several days. The change was not for the better. The principal actors, as they made their appearances, were cordially welcomed, and Mr. Kimble was received with marked approbation, heightened, no doubt, by a sense of the taste and spirit exhibited in the decorations of the theatre. In the afterpieca Miss Tree appeared as Rosina. and was welcomed with especial marks of esteem, which she repaid by singing in her best and simplest style. Miss Hallande, Miss Love, Mr. Connor Mr. Durant, and Mr. Pyne performed the other principal characters, in Rosins, and were all welcomed by load and repeated applause the *bole evening, and through both performances there was an exertion OD the part of the performers, and a will• impose to be pleased en the part of the audience. The house was thinly attended until half price, when it became tolerably fall. ilk Exhibition tinder the' abate dime, **a oe %tor day admitted to prints inapeCtion; iirevione to its being thrown open to the public oil Monday. The immense building which has been erected fcli the pdrpose, Is situated in'the Regent's Park, directly opposite the eastern aide of Portland Crescent. and close to the Riding &Mot Its magnitude may be judged of from the fact that the mere walls were raised at an expense of 80001. The ihterior is also fitted op in a most costly and tasteful style. The saloon, from which the exhibition is viewed, is circular, and splendidly hung with crimson cloth, while the coil ng is formed by a :ranspareecy of elegant device, representing medallion heads of the greatest toasters in painting. The accommodations for the public are in a style befitting the superior arrangements and construction of the whole. With regard to the exhibition itself, we think it better far two reasons, to abstain from any attempt at explaining the means by which its effect is produced. In the first place it might be prejudicial to the amazing interest with which every person must be struck who sees it; and Secondly, the perfect novelty of the thing, and the 'extraordinary power by which it operates, almost make us• despair of giving an intelligible or a credible account of the little which a first visit has enablel us to ascertain. All we shall do, therefore, will be to describe the effect which a visitor beholds on entering the saloon. He sees before him a magnificent landscape, out into which nothing seems to prevent his walking but the benches occupied by lovely forms, whom his politeness will not permit bins to disturb. This is the Valley of Sarmen, in Switzerland, perhaps the most enchanting specimen of all that is beautiful in natural scenery, that can be found even in that romantic country. In the foreground he will see a little rivulet ruing and bubbling down its tiny precipice with all the animation of nature. Close behind it he sees a house which wears the very air of invitation and hospitality. Then spreads out an expanse of country, decorated with every variety of rural charms. In its ample bosom rest a soft blue lake, and the distance is filled by mountains rear ing their snow crowned heads, and shining in all the diatleminsplendour which is conferred upon them by the sun's ray!. Suddenly, however, the beholder finds the brightness of the scene giving way to the approach of gloom. The hills lose their brightness, and the transparent blue of the tranquil lake is defaced by the reflection of the darkening clouds. A threatened storm passes off with all its fury to one of the mountain tops, and the beauty of nature is again vindicated by the restoration of her smiles and gladness. Having exhausted his admiration upon this magical delusion, he perceives that he and all his fellow gazers, if they amount to 3011, are receding from* the *leer; and in a few second-. he finds himself looking until* nave of Trinity Chapel, Canterbury Cathedral. Here his wonder will he taxed to a still higher point ; and he must hold fast of the impossibility with all his might, or he will conclude that some of time things which he sees before him are real and not imitative. We, of course, need not add. that the whole is pictorial illusion. It is altogether an exhibition unprecedented in its magnitude, and, in our opinion, far snrpassing every thing of its kind in beauty.— The Paintings rank high as uorks of art, independent of the astonishing interest they receive from the stupendous. machine. We have been informed that above MOM. , have been expended on the establishment previous to its zing. LETTER W KIT! NO. The following three specimens of letter•writing of the last centery are curious. They are preserved in a tract now of extreme rarity—by that excellent and indefatigable writer, Lord Hailes The first is from the Duchess Dowager of Lenox to King James the First:— " My Soverisiga Lord. —According to,your Majesty's gracious pleasure signified unto me, 1 bare sent a young man to attend you, accompanied with a wido w ' s prayers and tears, that he way wax old in your service ; and in his fidelity and alfe.:tion may equal Isis ancestors departed ; and so shall he find grace and favour in the eyes of my Lord, the King ; which will revive the dying hopes slid raise the dejected spi rits, of a comfortless wother,—Your Majesty's most humble servant, KA. I.ENOX." The following forms a good cnutrast to the elegant sim plicity of the former. It is addressed to the same Sove reign by the wife of the famous Duke of Buckingham, whose "orthography." like Lord Daherley's, was " somewhat loose' and umuled, like his, the corrective hints of a Doctor Pangloss:— " May it please your Majestie,—l have receoed the two boxes of drid plums and grape, and the box of violatt cake and chickens, for all which I most humbly thank your Majestie. " I hope my Lord Annan has torrid your Majestic that I did mean to went Mall very shortly.

This day praying for your Majesties' health and l u ng e life. I humbly take my leave.—Yoar Majesties most hum ble servant, • K. BUCKINGHAM." The nest and last is from the Duke to King James: — "Dear Dad and Gossip,—" Yesterday we got hither so early, that I had time to see over a good part of my works here. This afternoon I will see the rest. I protest to GOD the chiefest pleasure I have in them is, that I hope they will please you, , and that they have all come by and from you, I sum now going to give toy REDEEMER thanks for my MAKER. The afternoon I will spend in viewing the rest. To morrow the -- threaten to be arty op. being of my mind impatient to be with you. We shall have no need of a coach of yours, or flabie Charles, to make the way short. I could write to the equerries to send them to Thurio, seven miles on this side of Newmarket; but I will be beholden to none but my kind master and purveyor, who never failed me when I had need ; therefore bestir thee, and (here are two words it. legible)duty. I will give no thanks for nothing, till I may .do it on my knees so I crave your blessing, as your Majesty's most humble slave and dog. ' 6 STINIS." Commodons O'Baism.—The following contradicts the re ported death of this singular character:— " Cowes, SEPT. 30.—We have great satisfaction in assur ing the public, that the statement contained in almost all the Provincial Papers of tne loss of Commodore O'Brien, at Ply mouth, is totally unfounded. This experienced seaman, in his diminutive cutter, the Royal Gift, has been cruising daily for the last week in Cowes Harbour and Roads, at.d the adacent waters, to the great delight of the Gentlemen of the Navy and the amateurs of sailing, and the wonder and admiration of our visitors from the inland parts of the kingdom. The nautical hero is at this time in 2ur harbour, and expresses great indignation at the report oT his being drowned, which, he says, while his activity and skill in managing his Lilli putian craft remain, is au event almost beyond the verge of possibility." The situation of Welch Judge is likely to be conferred on a prominent supporter of the Government, whose speeches on one or two occasions the leading chief in the House of Commons has eulogised in no measured phrase. We ere told, however, that this forensic orator flies at game of a higher order in a quarter of the globe far from the Welch Mountains.—(Moraiag Paper.)

The ps olestr!an having been allowed two hours, started strong at his work ; buenature found out he was not in truth boon, anti he turned up the eiing half a mile from home. / • At Fletching, on last Thursday evening, a partridge, which had risen in Sheffield Park, was observed to pass rapidly on the wing down the street, and fly against the white masked gahie end or house with so much violence, that it dropped dead on the s ot, as witnessed by several persons who had at tended the sale of Mr. Sloore's property. The dread of a hawk In sight, or the effect of some sportetnan's gun it was supposed, had caused the poor bird's random and fatal flight.—(Sasses Advertiser.) Ataesmea rtes.—This awning, about two o'clock, flames were seen to issue from the premises of Mr. Austin, a basket maker, situated at the back of 251, High Holborn. which, front the inflammable nature of the materials in the Place, extended with considerable rapidity to the adjoin ing workshop of Mr. Manning, a Carpenter, which was soon enveloped in flame. T lie houses in the vicitii•y were threatened with speedy destruction; for so rapid was the progress of the devouring element, that, in the short spaoe of half an hoar, both the buildings presented one immense and terrific body of lire. The back of the house of Mr. Wells, a mahogany dressing-case maker, was also on fire; but the speedy arrival of the engines, and the grea exertion of the firemen, prevented its doing much damage. We are sorry to learn that a qusntity of furniture and wearing apparel, belonging to two females who were about to take a house, was destroyed on the premises of Mr. Manning, with whom they had deposited them for safety. The premises, vie believe, were insured, but it is supposed not to the amount of the actual loss. korrraiht, SIIPTEMRIER 30.—The accident which befel the Salisbury coach yesterday, has not been attended with such serious consecoences as p,0,01e at first were led to ap• prebend. All the persons injored,witli the exception of the coachman, are in a progressive state of recovery, and even he, it is hoped, has not been danzerously hurt, as it is now ascertained that none of his bones are broken. How ever, be seems to feel excruciating pain, and has bad scarcely any rest dating the night. The surgeon is of opinion that be is injured inter nally, and it appears that his case requires the greatest attention. He and another individual are the only two of the party nose remaining at the Beekford Arms Inn, the others having beeu taken to Hindon, where every thing is done for them which the most earnest solicitude can suggest. The other person who is laid up at the Beckford Arms, is a very respectable man who had come to Pitt House, Mr. Benett's residence, for the purpose of buy ing wool, and was induced to visit the Abbev in conse quence of being so near the spot. lle still suffers exceed ingly from the effects of severe contusions in the breast and shoulder.
