Since Mr. Cooke thought it expedient to re._ treat from the theatrical standard of Covent.garden- Theatre, much embarrassment hatb been expe.• rienced by the Proprietors of that Theatre in re. gulf to the different characters which he had been . in the habit of sustaining with so much gencral ta. lent, and in some few instances with unprecedented ability. Among these was the part of Kitely, which Mr. Ounce understood more perfectly than any other Performer that We have seen since the death of Mr. GARRICK. As we have domed the representation of this Co. mostly, at this Theatre, to be the most unexception. able of their comic exhibitions, because nearly all the parts, are adequately filled, we regretted exceed. ingly that it should be put upon the shelf, and so much concomitant merit lay dormant, as no one could be found who had boldness sufficient to take up the bow of Ur.xssrs : at length Mr. YOUNG stepped forward, and the chair of !Otis is ou lon. ger without an occupier. On no occasion, since the secession of Mr. Cooxr, have we felt a deeper regret, as resulting from that circumstance, than on yesterday evening. We have . been, in the habit of regarding Mr. You MG as an.ac. for of much promise, from the success which bath usually followed* his scenic exertions ; but his at. tempt to follow Mr. COOKE, last night, in this part, was not so effectual as might have been expected : it Is true that he gave us some ides of a married man tortured by the mental agitations of jealousy, but it was not a representation which included those fide traits of discrimination, which we have been accustomed to hOld in fiii wayward, but eatriordi. nary predecessor. Mr. You're did not appear to us. with any additional feather by, his assumptiun. no was always at home with his character, when "there was nothing required but the direct display of good sense, but he declined very much in those scenes where the marking of the eye is expected to denote the varying agonies of the soul. We are not much delighted to bear this cold testimony to leis exertions, but our sense of duty, which is pa. • raniount to all other considerations % impels us to declare that lie was, altogether, bet an imperfect representative of kitety. Mr. Bt.:ANetIARD played Drainmorm, as a sub, *Mute for Mr. MOMPER, who was peculiarly fitted for this varying character; and it is no mean corn. pliment, and is a just, one, to ever, that he did not appear to disadvantage under such circumstances. • The Farce of Posina was ab ly supported by Mr, IsetsociN, Mr. DELLAKT, Mr. Tavt.oa, Mrs. • LtsTox, and Miss UOLTON. 1 . Previous to the finale, Mr. lattice came for.. ward and announced the melancholy intelligoace at 'the death of the regretted Princess Aksitsw, in the `following words ; Win and Gentlemen—ln coy seanence of the calamity ssWi loth befallen dm Royal Family and the Nazi oe t by the AsMiti Prioress Aosta.% , thP Vntfrtehn (A neuts nna Thistrf WM 14 mapossied fqr spore t ime. Miss Buse, from the Brighton Theatre, appeared last night, in the part of -Vary, in John Bull. She le a good figitre, and appears at' least e4ual to the line of character in which she made her debut. Her voice is sweet, and not ill-calculated to express the feeling which she seed's capable of conceiving. She Was received with general approbation. • The other performers , tustaiued their parts without much sp. pearance of' improvement. ! bra - nose cannot int., prove; his Dennixirrulgraddefw is a chef d'exaore.

They arrived in this city about 10 . o'elock at night, in a chaise hired at Newhall's lon, queeessferry.

"usual route, they represented themselves as being ponnected with some respectable families in Stir. lingehite, whose names they mentioned, and chose that,. in preareece to the direct reed, that they might visit them.

A man of the name of Wilson Hooper directed by his will, that he should be buried in a %nit of his best clothes, with his hat, boots, &c. All this was strictly attended to, with a trivial exception. The boots being new, could not, for an obvious revolt, be put upon his legs; and as it was not ticegled proper that they should be anywise cut, or that he should go Mith. out them, it was resolved to throw them into 'the cof4u above Wall which was ;ccurdingly done. - I 2 3 M Tgg tonva OF THE' sritz JE AN. SIR,-1 am a. eonstaut reader of your Paper ; the sentiments in which, I generally concur with, and was much struck with the observations made respecting the revenues of Ecclesiastics being ap. plied to Political Exigencies; and your intimation, " that if the war went on very much limiter, something similes would be requisite here."- 1 read them w ith, great pleasure, and think, that it would be both for the credit and interest of our shops, to prevent, if possible, such an event, by a voluntary offer of a third' of their Church reve.. attes t , to relieve the burthens of the laity. It would ,free them from the stigma of avarice . and selfishness, terms long since proverbially applied to them ; and ke they are as rich as the laity, it, would be but an act of justice to refund to the exigencies of the state, what history plainly chews has, by means of artful Prelates and weak Princes, been cribbed from it. If it is objected that it would dirniniph the respectability of their body ; I answer, that justice and benevolence are far more becoming or. Dements to a Christian Divine, than unmeaning pomp. and splendour; and there is no just reason te be Oat/ ..why they should not suffer equal curtail. Mott with the laity. The latter work hard for Aktfir,iibilliteuce.; .Can the former truly say • alit 1 4001; The wot :byAkelr scloptia4 such allate. of, • conduct, would respect them more than ever they were; the cause of religion would be advanced; nor would Christianity be liable to the reflec. lions that naturally arise in the mind, when we see precept so little enforced by example.—. Priestcraft and superstitious, trumpery have lost their sway, thank Ileaven I and the, present is no time to compliment those we could easiest dis. pense with, at the ezpence of the industrious and useful. I hope that some patriotic Member will zealously urge the necessity of such measures being . passed into a law, next Session of Parliament; and whether it succeeds or not, the behaviour of the bishops, on that'occasion, will convince every un. prejudiced person, whether conscience or MiIIABIOU has most dominion ore,' them.

SlR,—Seeing with astonishment in your Paper of the 30th instant, an account of an Opinion said to be that of the Court of Inquiry assembled in Great George.street, Westminster, ou the IQth of Sep. tember, 1810, wherein it is stated 'that the charges I preferred , against Captain Pauly.

'Wed by insertion In the Re g iment a l or 4rigade Order(; and also to realistic, that as a Court of In. quiry is ail irregular Court ; nerecogniced by the written military lily ; acknowledged merely by a custom of the Army, destitute of the power of swearing the members or the witnesses, and of coercing the attendance of the tatter, even investi gation in such a Court must be often vague and iru. perfect t at the same time it is enquestionable, that from the very essence of its name, and mode of its formation, it is constrained to confine itself to such investigation ; and that a reflection oa my charac ter of the nature contained in the opinion inserted in your Paper, a few days since, would, if authen. tic ; not only be a flagrant infringement of those rights alone vested in Count-Martial, but alio in the highest degreolibellous, 'and punishable by an action at civil law.
