Madame Vagrant looked well, and was in excellent spirits. She played, and sung " Once a Maiden Sptlag Rose. was wearing," " Once a Knight," and " The Dashing White Serjeant," most delightfully, and was most rapturously encored in each. Miss Lova, too, was in excellent voice, and was loudly encored in " I once was a Maiden, " and " The Ho wer of Roses." Mr. VINING was dres sed sufficiently eetre, and evinced some originality as the effeminate Prince of coxcombs, Young Contrast, but now and then got rather out of keeping. His Frenchified servant, La Aippe, was personated by HARLIT with alt his usual vi v acity; but the abominahJe profligacy of these two characters is treated with too much levity by the author. Tatter, we thought. did not come up to his usual excellence in some parts of his portrait Sir John Contrast, though others were in his best manner. Our readers, having often seen Distom'a Mull Flaggoa,we need only to say Chit he played full y up to any of his former efforts, Ma. Davie, as Tenetan,andM r . Leon! Las as Bashley, sung with considerable taste. On ,tie ' whole the opera was well received except the conclusion of the first act, where the buntamea who come on to practice their song, were pressed like the thieves is the Beggars' Opera, who bawl out Alacheatia's reprieve; and made A most miserable finale. It was announced for repetition on Tuesday, with great applause. la the entertainment oWyGrandmother,, which followed, Miss Jonwaos, who played Charlotte; began to sing " 0 say not Woman's Heart is bought" with very evident ern barrasment, apparently. from timidity, on which the au. (Hance commenced a general clapping of bande, by way of encouragement; but on the recommencing of music, after the interruption was orer, Mr. Laoyi Les came forward and said the lady was so unwell that it was impossible for her to go through with the song. Miss JOUNNON then went through the rest of her part, but evidently labouring under considerable depression. Simpson and Co. was repeated, with endiainished effect, to conclude the evening's entertainments. OrgRA House.—On Saturday evening Mr. William's performed lthe three arduous characters of Caleb Quolenr, Monsieur Morbleu, and Dick Cypher; an undertaking, which in point of exertion, impasses most of the dramatic curiosities of this kind on record. He repeats them to night; and offers to the admirers of his extraordinary talents, the highest gratification that could be received, by this contrast of the extent and versatility of his powers. His Caleb Quolent is a masterly delineation of the various occupations of the tongue, the head, the I hands, and the feet, of this vivacious Wag of Windsor : I but his great master-piece is Monsieur Morbiew. Nothing can be mote perfect than this chef d'oeuvre of his histrionic talent. When he first played it, the.e was a little want of colouring in some portions, and a little too much daubing In others; bat lie has now smoothed the one, and height ened the other into what we conceive to he absolute per fection; and those who have not seen him in this character have but a faint idea of what his powers of personation ' are. The execution of the air—"o! ramose," is worth twice the cost of the entertainment ; and the feeling is hick be throws into his consolation of his fair charge is delicious. Evers the whi o,icality of the character is reduced by the energetic excellence of the portraiture within the limits of probability. He is not so well sop. ported as he might be. Without disparaging the talents of the present Madame BiLLIGARDS, whose exertions are very creditable, Miss Kxhi.v ought to have played the part. The example so well eel by Ehhirrox last yeas, of patting into every piece as much talent as the company' could furnish, was productive enough one would imagine, to ensure its being followed. Them aft to be, it appears, no fewer than three French companies of comedians next spring—one at the West London Theatre, another at the Argyll Rooms, the third in the King's Concert Room, at the Opera House. The performance at the West London will coinnien,:e on the Ist of February. BIARKETS.This DAY.)

Surritrimn, September 22.—There was a full market this morning of ail descriptions of cattle.

Complaints are made at Glasgow that Liverpool is fast running away with the trade of the Clyde. In order to check this as much as possible, it is in contemplation to deepen the river to 14 feet. Forty thousand bales of cotton are annually consumed at Glasgow.

Such pieces are to be called " double sovereigns," or "gold two-pound pieces," and to pass and be received as cur rent and lawful money of the United Kingdom of Great Bri tain and Ireland, and every of such double sovereigns not weighing less than ten pennyweights five grains, is to pass and be received as current and lawful money of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, every such double sovereign u of the value of forty shililogs of like lawful money, in all payments whatever.

As soon as the news of his balloon being found was received, a mercantile house in . this town wrote to an agent in London; enclosing in eh davit by Mr. Green, and a description Of the balloon, and desiring that immediate application might he made to the gentleman in Holland who nes said to hive the rare of i►. This has accordingly been done, but the answer has not yet hero received. Mr. W. W. Sadler, the aeronaut, mide w fine ascent from Sheffield on Thursday. He at first announced his intention of ascending front that place on the preceding Friday ; but, owing to the failure of one of the pipes laid by the das Company to bring the gas from their works, and td the heaviness of the gas itself, he was unable to ascend. The day was extremely fine, and the company assembled very numerous ;. of course, the mortification felt was great. Mr. S. however, announced his intention of ascending on the following day, but was again prevented, partly by the wetness of the weather, and partly by the bad quality of the gas, which, from neglect it the works, had been amen mixed with atmospheric air. To prevent the possibility of further disappointment, he determined to ei-ebt an apparatus for the formation of hydrogen gas, and, with the leave of the gas company, he effected a reform in the contents of their gasometer. Ti.ursday was then fixed upon for the as cent ; the day was fortunately fine, the assemblage of people immense, and every circumstance favourable. Having filled his balloon with 9,000 Get of hydrogen, and 11,000 feet of crirbu retied hydrogen, Mr. Sadler made a very magnificent ascent at five minutes past two o'clock. He kept the town of Sheffield to slew 22 minutes, when he entered • thick cloud, and expe rienced a great degree of cold. But when he had risen above the clou&, the heat of the son's rays was almost scorching, and the clouds themselves bad a most dazzling and splendid appear ante while he caught only occasional views of the earth through their openings. Ills greatest elevation was alout 9 miles and a quarter ; and he descen ed ate quarter past three, In a grass field, a rode south of Tickhill, 4 from Bawtry, and 17 from Sheffield ; having, from the calmness of the day. sailed only the latter distance iu an hour and ten minutes. 'Vise descent was quite safe and easy, and Mr. Sadler experienced the kind ness of John Armitage.

Nothing could exceed the goad humour with which the inhabitants bore the disap poinments of last week: and the has Company,ferling that these disappointments were principally owing to their im pure gas, handsomely declini d to make Mr. Sadler any charge. The aeronaut passed through this town lest even ing, on his way to York, from which pl.ce he purposes ascending, accompanied by friend, in the aftantion of Monday next. Oar Sheffield Correspondent, whose interesting acmet of this event reached us so late as to prevent i:s insertion at length, states that the number of people assembled on Thursday exceeded that of either of the former days, and that the enthusiasm which the scene excited we, warm and general.

Tar balloon is, on that occasion, to be filled by the assioance of a newly in vented machine ; but a description of such ulachine is unne cessary now, as you have ilready given some account of ir.— Tbere is no probability of any unnecessary or unpleasant d-- lay—and the weather is very promisine. As liberal arrange ments have been made with the Gas Company (who light Chel tenham in adtuir ible style) for it plent;ful supply of gas ; and in order that the ascent may be about the hour named, the in flation is to take place on M•mday morning early.

Messrs. Graham and Webb, who are to ascend in the balloon, have most property made such arrangements as will wholly preveut the pressure of the crowd upon the car and balloon. Lieutenant Colonel John T. Jones, C. 8., Commanding Engineer at Woolwich, accompanied by Captain Harper of the same corp., are ordered by the blaster-General of the Ordnance to proceed immediately overland to the lonian Isles, to inspect and report upon the fortresses of those islands.

Yesterday, a stout man, habited in singular costume, and whose manners correspond with his dress, who, it I a peered, is a dissenting preacher in one of the neigh bouring villages, came before the Bathforum Magistrates I accompanied by his wife, who is very far advanced in prep :saucy, fur the purpose of her smearing the child. The husband declared, (which was admitted by the wife,) that be had not cohabited with her for the last two years and a half, and that in consequence of the real father of the child industriously circulating a report that the child was the husband's, which the latter stoutly denied, he gained the great displeasure of his hearers ; and the reason of his bringing her before the Magistrates was for the purpose of removing the odium of falsehood from himself, and to set I him right with his congregation. The wife solemnly de clared who the real father of the child was; but the hus band was told by the Magis'rate that he was bound to maintain it, which he agreed to do, provided it did not live with him. The happg couple then walked off, seemingly well satisfied, excepting the regret of the husband, that the seducer could not Ise punished. The husband, daring the investigation, frequently quoted passages from scrip ture; and expressed himself happy in knowing that his wife had turned from the error of her ways!—(Batk He rald.)
