- vi nJ . ;:_ .? • HAYMARKET THEATRE. This ouspeign of this Sommer Theatre commenced last night, with the Play of The Soldier's Dar, eller, which b•oeght Mrs. Eowtm spin before the Pitriic, raw a considerable absence, in the character of Wi. dos Utterly. This admired widow has, perhaps, io the opinion of some, a little too mach of the mei • poetess of eaverience in her sentiments, she is, no. vertheless, an interesting object for the speculation of a dramatic wedding. The ploy Itself it, indeed, pot altogether free from a degree of barbarism, filled with rather clumsy modifications of virtue, such as gleam in the first wakened fancies of srhool.boys ; the incidents correspond to the wtitee's genies ; lime sums are given away, end estates transferred wish as much ease as in " Henry, Earl of More. land ;" and then the solitary instance of vice which Is so mechanically set to ran counter to these bens. relent arrangements, is a likeness of nothing known .unkind. There is se severable erect, how ever, produced by this play ; good humour is an effective instrument, sod es all the characters but one p o ssess als, the absence of delicacy in the mon itions, parity in the dialogue, a•sri propriety in the sentiments is forgiven. Mrs. EDWIN has perhaps the greatest force of comic espressinn that remains to es after Mrs. Joao sis, and indeed displayed 11. them too much of it last night to bear out her lover In the refinement of his choice; bet as there is scarcely another Author in the lingua/4o whose fulmination is so coarsely developed, she will Pot be very often betra)ed into this error.— Her carriage was a little ton volatile to be graceful ; her person is too frequently bent in order to produce effect ; her articulstion displays some aitifice ; in other respects theAta/Lis at present nearly her own, as It regardshor lierutrnent. . cow w ..,tempulkled. called Wel Weather; it Is a very saceessNl specimen of the reigning mode of farce writing, fan of puns, personal shserdities, and hard hits against fashionable fools and popular fol lies. !Arens, notwithstanding the moral Impossibi lity of his part, or any of its transactions, kept the audience in laughter almost without intermission. — The piece is written by an able hook and contains at least a month's amusement for the town. The seal of the Mans/era is very praiseworthy ; there are I new pieces and performers to be introduced, as rapidly as the other arrangements of their eery brief season will allow. It was a little remarkable that the very element% appeared to chime in with the title of this new piece, for in order to be gratified with the sight of IVel Mather. trany who could not obtain coaches were soaked to the skin. To rag EDlllOlt of ma STATESMAN. Sts,—There is se akesrdity se gross that the ad kerents of Ministers will not swallow, and com fortably digest, however clumsily it be administered. That BONAPARTE if a devil intimate, that ail the wisdom and virtue of France centre in the Ultras, that the King of PRUSSIA is chopfell of the most amiable qualities, that Lord CAVELERRADIE is a maker of the best spe►ches o'er delivered in Perlis. pent, Ste. era dogmas embodied in the creed of the orthmisser party, and promulgated end insisted upon by the writers attached to it. When such credulity es to whatesee is 'opposed to favour legitimacy, prevails, it is truly surprising that the Tr y writers have hithirte refrained from exercising their laudatory talents upon the character of his Spanish Majesty—the most distinguished =ember of the family of legitimates, for his attachment to " the establisheel order of things," his abhorrence of " new. tangled doctrines." and " the vigour and decision of his meeseres." These Gentlemen, we know, in their lecubretions, entirely disregard that sensible role laid down in the Art of Political Lgiag. to ascribe to the object of your praise virtues which, in their sta ture, most closely approximate to his notorious vices, sod assess sod insist upon that which is most die. metrically opposite to troth, in the ambitious hope of both overturning what has bee. assented to by the world at large, end of establishing a converter pro. position. We fully expected that these Gentlemen, '1 acting upon that principle, ',avid, ere this, have ra tified the pretensions lately advanced fur FERDINAND of his being a partaker of Divinity. What can be the f this most singular for. ;sentence of the Minister's! Press towards the Be. loved? It run be no want of admiration of his va ried eacellescies, or of gratitude for the practical leetratioss he is constantly affording of the benefits to he derived from a total went of freedom of dis. cession, Taal' by Jury, Hebei, Corpus, and other disagreeable scrompanimputs of Freedom. Is it that the eatroordieary deserts of his Catholic Majesty transcends even the consummate elfrontery of Mi nisterial welters? If such he the fact, the silence of these worthies imposts more opprobrium to the cha. Tatter of FERDINAND, than could well be conveyed by the eloquence of indignant humanity, or the con• cures of enlightened philosophy. _ _ VA LERIUS.

The Author, from whose moral sod elegant l'oem we are about to eittact (though fortunately ezempt from such a de pendence), is certainly one of those young men upon whom a liberal Public shneld cast a favourable eye. —The following elegant, moral, and original es tract will speak to posterity fo► itself, and belie the insinuation that " it is not genuine," and as just as it is beautiful and original! Nor here will we omit adding, in justice to the ingenious Author, that, in our opinions, and in those of better judges than we profess to be, it takes the lead of all that has been written on the lamentable subject, whether by Britoil, or any of the Reverend Gentlemen, whose Muses were boped•for benefices on that sad occasion. •` INC ES% (II It LOTTE."

A chapel foe the Rasters has been erected, and is intended shortly to be creed at the foot of the bill, near St. Martin's Church, through the enthusiastic seal of one of their fraternity, an inhabitant of this city, who has sold the larger part of his prtsperty to wards defraying the 'spent. of its erection, and also killed 'OM of his pigs for the purpose of feasting his worthy brethren. Nightly meetings are held in the houses of the Ranters in the city ; and whilst em ployed in administering to the welfare of the soul, they ate not inattentive to the support of the body, in some iostaeces, like a swarm of locusts, devouring every thing they can find. Their principle is that of enjoy's( all worldly things in common. At a late meeting, a farmer from an adjacent village made a complaint against one of the pastors, for being too !swish in his favours to the nt Kids, by which favours be made not a few proselytes! The (eraser, however, instead of 'hashing the offender by his open charge, was only reprobated for a slanderer ,• in con sequence of which, and the notoriously good ground for complaint which 'lists, the parishioners of some places, to keep down the Poor Rates as well as to preserve the morals of their servants, snort to the ringing of bell, or the making of other load noises, until the pestilent fraternity are driven sway.—' (Lincoln Paper.)

Mr. Ana mist opened the pleading', and Serjeent Laws staled therms for the Plaintiff. It would rest, he said, with the Defendant to show in what manner he had been imposed upon.
