TIIE DUKE OF .BEDIORb. W. are extremely concerned to state that this highly-esieerned and iiiiiveroally-beloved• Nobleman by met with a very serious and alarming accident. The family have been for some ilays.at Woobwrii w i ry, where a large portion of their friends have tarn on a visit, enjoyiiig the hospitalities of that srloolid seat. On ‘‘ ' rilitesday last his Grace, ac. curdilig to his usual custom, rode out in the foressoon, but he had not proceeded far into Wooburn Park. when his horse, which was going at a gallop, tripped before and fell. lii. Grace was thrown forward with greet violence, and falling on his head and shoulder, leeriverl a severe contusion in both. His Grace was lammed by the fill ; and no time was knit to cowry him to the Abbey, where medical assistance from the neighbourhood was immediately procured and lir was bled. Notwithstanding this prudent and reesutiouary operation, we regret to add the nights .ofWeduesday and Thursday were passed without ono, and in great pain. On Friday his Grace was brought to town to his house in Hamiltoo.place, ,here lie is now confined. The street was yester day tilled with carriages cf the Nobility and Gentry, all animus to learn the state of this most amiable Intl esteemed Nobleman.

A new comedy, entitled Honour, or Arrirgls from College, we. perforined, for the first time, on Saturday evening. It is, we have heard, the pro.

Trawirre Mr. Palfrey. Cohnsa Villiers. rapist* O'Callaghan Mr. JonasTWIN. Zhuleas .. Mr. WILLIAMS. Ensweiina Villiers Mrs. W. Wm. Flo►a . Mrs. ORDER. . Mrs. H utatas. Edmond Villiers has, from his earliest years, cherished a passion for his cousin, Emmeline, the lovely daughter of Colonel Villiers, which is returned by the lady with equal sincerity. Edmund, who is puesisisig his studies at Oxford, learns thee Eotim ling is Shout to he waited to Sir Jasper Jay, a contemptible Baronet, whose dolmas of intellect and lessee's!, of heart are equally conspicuons. Edmund wishes to hear his fate from the lips of Emmeline, and for that par. pose he leave* college, and journeys towards her father's man sion. He is benighted on a heath. where he very onexpectedly meets with Tiemor,• pert cowardly coxcomb. from whom, tor some time, he rsinly endeavours to eseape...but the fashion. able leech slicks to him with s degree of strength and perse serenee whirl, all his exertions cannot overmnie. At length the harmonious sounds of a female voice attract their welt lion towards a college, which Tremor, who is anxious to have an interview with the fair warbler, enters, sad leaves Edmond to pursue his journey in peace and silence. Ed mund, 'launch the iutervetiiimi of Doncaii, an holiest Scotch gardener, procures an interview with his mistress, of wittier unshaken faith he is soon enamored. On his retio is, he passes the cottage to which his notice had been pre viumily drawn, and he is again astonished by hearing a female singing an air which he had often listened to with delight, when breathed from the lips of Emmeline. He pro cures admitiance to the cottage, and discovers that it is the abode of Flora, the ward of Colonel Villiers. This young lady, it appears, has boon long enamoured of Fal mum', who, up to the moment whets be thus casually meets lief, is quite ignoraut of her passion. She, however, dues not scruple to reveal he► flame, although she lias already sacrificed her charms to Sir Jaspe► Jay, who, blockhead sod coward as brie, has-seduced her from her guardian. Ed mund receives hire declaration with astonishment, soil is about tti preach a moral sermon, wben he is interrupted by Sir Jasper, who has thought proper to pay a abort visit to Flora, Sir Jasper blushes a good deal when he finds Ed mund in company with his fair out, and, perceiving that the young Gt•utlemaw•was nut anxious to senile the business, vie st armis, challenges him to mortal combat. Edmund, who, though a lover, is also a philosopher, refuses to meet dm blustering hero, and hastens to inform Colouel Villiers of the important ilirieuvery he had made. Sir Jasper contrives to arrive at the mansion-house before him, sad declares that Edmond is the scanner of the unfortunate Flora. This . falsehood is borne out by a letter from Flora, iu which she states, that her virtue hail been undermitsed by the artifices of Eamon& Colonel Villiers is enraged at this discovery, and gives orders fur the immediate marriage of Sir Jasper mid Emily—the latter, biuken.ltearied at the Oka of Ed 7 inunirt falsehood, having consented to as union, which, otherwise, she never would have agreed to. At this critical moment, Captain O'Callaghan, an old friend and fellow. wittier of who has hero for sometime on a visit with suggests the propriety of confroofiug the parties. This is immediately dmie--the guilt of Sir Jasper is proved—and Efhnua,l, restored to (sine and favour, is blessed with the hand of the now happy Emmeline. Flora, " the mistress of all harms," becomes insane—cud, which is Our a very comic incifkut,ilies of a broken hem*. This cc ly possesses • considerable degree of interest.—astil if it be, as we are infoi wed, the tirst dramatic attempt of Mr. CROMWELL. entry fairly be hailed as the precursor of mire terse and finished productions. The plot is artfully const,ucted—the situations, hi general, well contrived—and the tltuastentent naturally produced. Characters are, introduced, tied do not, in any degree, Assist in the developestient of the story. Of this number are Treater, a silly fop, who is brought for ward, we imagine, merely to expose the stupid inanity colour modern benstx—Captain O'Callaghan, whose blunders have neither humour nor novelty to art them off—and Daiseurs, a Scotch gardener, whose peculiar duties in speaking with a very broad accent, taking a profusion of snuff. stud pulling his sweetheart Nally about the stage. Some of the most prominent characters are also described as actiug, or having acted, its a manner quite at variance with our ideas Of human itatiore. Jt is monstrous to suppose that such a thing of feather as Sir Jasper Jay could have induced the lovely and accomplisheJ /Jura to leave her guar. dna* care—to sacrifice her peace and honour— , especially when her affections were bestowed on Adniurtd. liquidly monstrous is it to insagiue, dust Calomel Villiers, who is depicted with all the virtues which adorn the military character—brave, generous, hyped, open-hearted—could insist Ott on union between a daughter whom be hived dearly as life itself, and a fribhlr, like Sir Jasper, for whorls * milspary mart, above all others, could entertain no feeling but that of contempt. The character of .'ir Jasper, 011 , VIlliell Air &MIXON of the piece in s great measure depended, is rirveily drawn, and was me Mina* performed by Mr. HARLEY. Sir Jusper is the most Exymisite of Eryaisiirs—s seducer, without heart, a Nally, *Aron t courage, a would-be wit, destitute of understanding. The ,character of Tremor Is .• soother like the former ;" and, as one Parody is quite sufficient at Is time, and he appears to have 110 partscular connexion with the sceore, might he dell with great propriety. This part was agoetably sustained by Mr. PEN LEy, who dress ed and looked it well. Edmund was allotted to Mr. H. KIMBLE, who dot not play the character even respectably. lie was intolerably dull, formal, probing, and optimum , . The sentiments he hail to deliver were fortunately of a highly moral character, and weer Amur:tied iu excel lent language. Their intrinsic excellence pro cured them a • flattering recept . . fled their succeas depended on the iscior, they must bare failed to produce a favourable impression on the audience.

Captain treonaghun is a meagre sketch, but Mr. Julpl "crux e'.'s great powrryt were Hot vainly employed on it. He rendered it, if not prominent, at les.t 'noosing. We were much pleased with Ms. Ilit'ti.t.tstuts'a picture of the Scotch Gardener.' It nail n chaste and humorous performative. Mrs. W. W Err, .whir, iu Our opinion, is called on to act ton frequeittly, sustained the character of Ermine/int with delicacy and feeling. Mrs. OunEn'a Ftira was extremely iiiterestierg. The character is a l utist difficult one to sustain—since the feelings of the audience are, from the first moment, opposed to it—hut the demerits of the part were lost in the admiration which the talents of themetress excited. The comedy was very lovourobly received. The following Prologue was spoken by Mr, D. Fiume:— There are, who deem that this drernerate see KOHN'S 11011 the empire of a genuine Sykora : A Sykora, where Virtue holds her rightful sway, Where Family views her image of the day ; And Comedy in language pure and terse, Nor whines false sentiment, nor stoops to Farce.

The following Epilogue was spoken by Mrs, WEST and Mrs. Oiou :-- Enter Mrs. West. Mrs. W.—The Epilogue I'm called upon to say—. Enter Mrs. Orner. Bless me! I thought you died, Ma'am, in the play!

The two sisters, Eflie and Jeanie beaus, then appear, and, in a long and affecting dialogue develupe the misfortune and disgrace of the former, with the loos of her infant. Duwbiedike., un his return from Ediuborgh, is met by Robertson, who terrifies him by hor rible menaces into delivering a message to Effie to meet him at twelve at night at Muschats Cairo. Mcnutione Effie has been arrested and conveyed to prison, on a chat ge of infaii ticidie.

If we story judge of whst oth►ris feel by ourselves, the prinuipal attract of the operas of (;ley Mwenerigg sod h'ub Kqy consists, not in their abstract excellence, considered as (burnout: productions, htit in their recalling, with fidelity, the story oli which we have before so delightedly dwelt—in `►lacing before our eyes the very scenes of its incidents and vicissitudes—the " local ha bitations" of the beings whose fate had for us such an interest, in witnessing the identical per %images at whose crimes we have shuddered, or whose vi►tues we have loved—at whose inislor tunes we have mourued, and at whose prosperity se have rejoiced, act, as it were. their own story. lit short, when the fundamental history is faithfully adhered to, the •Hind willingly surrenders itself to the pleasing delusion, that it is renewing its ac quaintance with characters once well known--.a de lu►iot powerfully assisted by the finest beauties of painting, mid the most exquisite fascivat ious music; but a deviation from it breaks the spell, or rather compels us reluctantly to reject the illu sion which the imagiiiatitio, in voluntary self-decep tion, loves to cherish, The drains whose merits we are considering, introduces a person not 111 the •' tale," Wilmot —elitisigeo the urine of one in the " tale," the father of Iloberisolo—bends and distorts the circumstances, greatly contracts the story, and totally alter* its catastrophe.

Every advantage which a theatrical work con derive from first-rate acting—vocal music the most enchanting—and scenery most varied, splendid and beautiful, The Mari of Alid- Lothian amply enjoyed. Mr. MacitEautr's pro furraupice of George Robertson was characterised by as much fidelity of conception, energy, and depth of feeling, as we have witnessed in any of his preceding chum:, ters. Mr. TERRY gave a most powerful acid affect ing representation of David Dewa.

We had on Saturday night again the pleasure of witnessing the representation of Mr. DiUDIN'S fr yourite piece, The Heart of Alid-Lothian. The underlining of the previous bills had stated, that the piece was withdrawn for a time. It was, however, perforated on Saturday evening, at the special do sire of their Royal Highnesses the Mite snd Duchess of Guineasvex ; and it must have been highly gratifying to the Manager to find, that mar withstanding the announcement of a piece under the same title for that evening, at a principle winter theatre, the original Lily fif Si.
