' Drury-lane.—On Friday night, Mr. Kean per fanned at this theatre the part of Brains, in the tragedy of that name, with his usual distin . geiished Mat. His reception was flattering, and his acting instilled the enthusiasm of the audience. The tra gedy ushered in a new claimant for public patro nage, in the person of a young gentleman named (we understand) Mode who performed Friday night for the first time on the London boards the charac ter of Titus. To a pleasing and prepossering countenance, and a figure tall and well proportioned, Air. Mode unites an easy and unembarrassed man ner.—llls voice is clear and harmonious, and his enunciation distinct, and we have no doubt that when he shall have acquired by practice a further acquaintance with the mode of managing his toice in so large a theatre, it will denote more eompatis than it exhibited on this first trial. lie received the warmest plaudits throughout the play, and a very cordial and general greeting hailed his efforts in the concluding scene. NVe have no doubt that • this actor will be fiend most useflil and efficient at this theatre. Mrs. Glover's Tullia, ard Mrs. West's Tarquinia, were excellently sustained by those dis tinguished actresses. The other chief parts were cast with judgment, and sustained with spirit and ability. Thus much is due to the pertbrmers: but it would be illiberal and unjnit to overlook the merits oldie Proprietor and Manager, in the splen dour of the scenery, dresses, and processions, which abound in this tragedy. The architectural scenes are admirable, and show every thing in proportion, character, and beauty, that can be required on such occasions. The machinery and whole ar rangement of the demolition in the great gate and conflagration which follows, cannot be too highly praised—it is, fir effect, the best display of suck an event we remember to have seen on the stage. Costume is observed with a elssical precision. The music between the acts, is creditable to Mr. T. Cooke's skill. The pit was crowded to excess soon after the opening of the theatre on Friday, and the dress cir cle iu the boxes presented a rich assemblage of the rank and beauty now stationed in the metropolis. The theatre is admirably lighted, and its ornamen tal appearance brilliant and striking. Curent-Garden.—On Friday was produced a pe tite comedy in two acts (founded on an historical anecdote,) called A Short Reign and a Merry One. Stanislaus is in France at the time that he is elected to the vacant throne of Poland. The French Mini ster, apprehensive that obstructions would be thrown in the way of the new Monarch on his journey to his dominions, through the jealousy of the neigh bouring powers, employs a young. French Nobleman, the Chevalier de Morangcs, to counterfeit his name and rank—the stratagem • succeeds, and while the fictitious potentate is reposing and enjoying himself in Brittany, the true Monarch escapes thir vigilance of his enemies, arrives in Warsaw, and is crowned. This is the basis on which the structure is reared, of which the following is an outline. The Baron de Husterville (Mr Blanchard), at whose chateau the Chevalier de Moranges (Mr. Charles Kett - dile) is entertained, has a lovely daughter (Miss Foote) t passionately attached to a youth, named Saville (Mr. Abbott), nephew of a griping usurer, who is Treasurer of Brittany (Mr Liston), and old ac quaintance of the Chevalier's. The Baron destines his daughter's hand for the Treasurer, and Savallc is abandoned by the latter, and rejected by the far mer. Ilusterviii. has a sister also, who unexpect .ally arrives at the castle, and turns out t.) be the Countess de Itosierre (Mrs. Davison), a lady be tween whom and the Chevalier a mutual and ar dent passion had been felt, but who is pressed by her brother to marry the Count de Lausanne (Mr. Connor), Governor of Brest, and the officer ap pointed to conduct the false Prince on his feigned journey. This Lady instantly perceives the strik ing resemblance between her lover and the pseudo King, and has bier suspicion of their identity con tinued by discovering a scar on the right band of the latter, exactly similar to one on that of Mo ranees. Meantime, the Chevalier, touched with the un fortunate situation ot St valle, had interested himself warmly in his affairs, procuring him a reconciliation with his uncle, and the means of access to the ob. THE NATIONAL REGISTEIt. jest of his affection He afterwards dupes the Treasurer into the belief that he would appoint him to the post of Finance Minister of Poland, and in duces him, as the law of that kingdom prohibited a Minister from marrying a foreigner, to renounce the intended alliance, and to assign a largesum of money to his nephew, as the price of protecting him from fighting a duel—the threatened consequence of the Baron's indignation. Savalle having thus attained a fortune, is blessed with the Land of his charmer; and at the same time fklorengcs having obtained permission from Court, as the occasion fur disguise had now elapsed, resumes his real character, and throws himself ut the of the Countess The incidents and situations contain a great deal of humour, and on the whole the piece possesses tar greater merit than such light productions usually do. Mr. C. Kemble personated the Chevalier in lofty disguise, with the greateFt ability anti success: his polite behaviour, easy address, and gallant bear ing, immediately recalled to our recollection what we had read of the chivalrous French Nobleman of the eh! school. In the scenes where affixtion urges him to explain himself, and duty to act the King, he displayed very high powers. Mr. Liston and Mr. Blanchard threw the house into laughter the instant they appeared on the sta l :e. Mks Foote played her part with simplicity, animation, and vivacity. The comedy was eminently successfill. Peals of applause attended the dropping of the curtain, and the announcement of its repetition. FROM TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BANK RCPTCY ENLARGED.

LONG EVlTY.—There is at present living in B:g. gar, an old man of the name of David loch, dealer in old horses, for the faal of hounds, who, in 174, entered into the service of Prince Charles, having accompanied Mr. Murray, of Bmughton, then acting as Secretary to the Prince. He was present at most of the battles wherein the rebels were engaged, and at the battle of Prestoupans lost the thumb of his left hand. He received iliac wouuds at the battle of Culloden, and was left fer dead by the King's troops, but found means to get off, and made the best of his way home, having passed through the middle of the royal army, con cealed in a cart load of straw. He has still in his possession an iron pistol of curious workmansh;p, which was presented to him by Mr. Murray, and which he takes great delight in exhibiting, as well as recounting his martial achievements, and is still warmly attached .to the Stuart family. Although he is now 90 years of age, be reads the smallest pint without the assistance of glasses. and has such a memory that he is often resorted to as a witness in disputes about old events. About five months ago he buried his third wife, and declares he will not marry again, lest he should nut live to see his children settled in the world. It is understood, hat the Corporation of London, de sirous of commemorating the services of the I)tilse of Wellington, in addition to the oi her ;, stimonies of their approbation, have just named the new twild lugs, now i•tectiuf; on Elie lucre district of Nlourtields, " Thu Wellinaton A in phithval re." Professor Dittman, who foretold very exactly the general temperature of last summer, declares, that during the ensuing winter dry weather will prevail, without any great severity of frost. On Sunday evening last, the warehouse belonging ti JJIIICS Coker, of vk'4lsin g liam, in Norfolk, was broken open in the absence of the firmly, who were at tending service at the chapel. it appears the \ illain (a boy about 14 years of age), being well acquainted with the premises, had made his entry thronh u stable at the back part thereof, by which means he had easy access to the warehouse. Whilst he was busily eniployed in packing lip his houty, the stable door was accidentally locked, end on his retort:, finding ire (-subd not proceed, lie was under the necessity of forcing the doors. The noise aroused an old lady living near the siint, who soon gave the alarm, and the offender, being closely pursusell, dropped three parcels, containing about two stout:sof fine raw sugar, and was shortly after apprehended. Last week sonic villains entered the premises of J. Woolterton, at the , Flower in Hind, St. Nlary's, and took between ti and 700 feet of 21-inch ta,k scantling, in I I feet Icngths; eanoup bright moonlight, they got clear off with their booty. Notfd.k Agriculitieul Reporl.—We have nothing parti. colar to record in the farming world, cxcilit the general termination of Wheat sowing. The land which during the first fortnight of October had been exceedin g ly dry, became moist enough in consequence of some fine rains; and even the stiffest soils were btokets up with compara tive ease, and worked very finely. On the whole it may he said to have been a fine season, particularly for the droppers, a wart prportion of Wheat having been dib•ii bled. Tile Turnips are round, as was CNl , reted, to Ap very coarse in quaiity, and greatly injured by the grub. Still the price of stock appears to be fully maintained, though the sale has been by no means brisk. Lean stock have done mita: kably well, in consecptctice or the mildness and (merlin ss of the season. 'the cunt in.irkets have been a trifle brisker of late, hut dreadful contplaints are hearth on all :odes of the bad east of the different crups, liirlry, it must be observed, malts belt-r than was expected; but still the proportion of ordinary sam ples is very gnat. Beans also yield but indifferently, though taken as au aver4:4e, wort should say bt.cer than they did last year. A Rl3 alliance Is on the tagis bcitvcca the second son of a Nobleman of high rank, mid t':o amiable and accomplished th!ogliter of %v cal thy jeweller and silversmith. -Report sap, the fortune of the fair lady will exceed :10 0001. per annum. Several accusations have lately appealed in tlx Paris Papers against 'the impiety of the people of Rest. A correspondent of the journal des Debals commbnicates, as a further instance of their profane ness, that when Mademoiselle Georges appeared at the theatre of that town all covered and blazing with diamonds, some persons began to sing the Adoremos, and this being ended, the canticle of Sur eel ague, !
