THEATRES. • • • COVENT- cAtOtEr. The comedy of The Clandestine Marriage *as last night revived at this theatre, with the most brilliant success. Although it is • very amusing and interest.ng piece, it has, of late years, been rare ly performed--as the stage did nit possess an actor capable of giving a perfect ides of the cherarter of Lord Oeleby. That character was last night as. sinned by Mr. W. FARREN: 'He has . resuscitated Lord Ogkby—lie hoe. given ci li a slew life—he has placed his eccentricities in the most pleasing poi n t o f view—and. so sign-cable has tie -rendered this valetudinary hrao, that he will, doubtless, fre quently " re-visit the glimpses of the lamps" during the Season. It would be difficult to imagine a performance displaying more of the groups of true comedy. In appearance, in motion, in manlier, he was the superannuated gallon', who, though tottering on the verge of the grave, is still susceptible of any little flattery which tends to feed his constitutional vanity—who, al though oinking under the weight of accumulated infirmities. gazes on beauty with a feeling which he mistakes for desire, and cheats himself into the belief, that youth and loveliness have be. come enamoured, if not of his person, at least of his elegance and address. Before his Lordship ap. pears, his valet, Brash, by a whimsical description of "the oiling, screwing, and winding-u 1 " which are necessary, err his master is set o-going for the day, lets us fully into the secret of the priemi-linuse, and we are prepared to see is being, not very far removed from a spectre. Such a being dish meet. our eyes. when. early in the second act, the new Lord Ogkby came forward. He appeared like ono recently raised from the grave—not very sure of his existence—and anxious, by a trembling expo intent. to sentry the doubts which he entertains on the subject. Once seated, the palsy water—the surfeit water—oeut the peppermict—administered, sees*• dais orient. give • fillip to his torpid feelings, and; having dismissed his attendants. he comes encee the irk of preparing his countenance for imaginary conquests. Mr. FARRSN acted this scene itiliaitos hie. The gradual operation of the medicaments ou his frame. which trembled violently when he touched the first, but, by degree., became more and more composed—the increasing liveliness of his, spirits, which assumed a gayer tone, every time his Swiss sycophant, Coate", threw out a flattering in: siuuation—the coxcontical self-complacency wills. which he viewed his face in the mirror, while he supplied, by art, the colour which natnre denied his cheeks—in short, every part of his performance in this trying scene, where Lord Ogleby must stand or fall by himself, his coadjutors being too iusig nificant to withdraw any part of thcattention of the audience front him—was rich in comic colouring. and, united, produced an uncommonly humorous effect. His interview with Fanny Sterling, in which he mistakes ambiguous expressions for an 'rowel of love, and the two scenes which follow, with tore!! and Sir John lblelcille, were equally well sustained. The old Nobleman's vanity, created by the supposed possession of Pinsity's affection, was described in • very ludicrous, but its a truly natural manner. It strewed itself in a thous land ways—in the animation of his eyes --in the holds nem of his sperth—and, particularly; in the iffected firmness of his step. The symptoms were redoubled, and the laughter of the audience kept pace with them, when, to the great astonishment of Old Ster ling, his Lordship declares that " with any fortune -s-or with no fortune-he will marry the young lady —from whose sweet lips he learned the secret of her passion." The last scene was " like the for mer," exquisitely supported. It embraces more variety than nny of those which precede it—but. • had its variations been multiplied, Mr. FAitaow possesses talents that would successfully have met them all. He painted the venerable lover'. ardent hopes, as he approaches the climber or his mistress, said his subsequent disappointment when lie discovers that she is married, with ludicrous los ce. Nor must we omit to notice, the dignity and feeling with which lie delivered the two pithy sentences, expressive of Lord Ogkhy's determination to succour and sup port the secretly-married pair. Mr. FARRNN'S per formance, taken as • whole, is One of the moat per. feet pieces of acting we have for a long time seen— and afforded the highest satisfaction to the audience. Mr. FAWCETT . , Sterling was exceedingly amusing. 'f he old merchant's, love of " the stuff," and his fear of his "sister Heidelberg." were fruit ful sources of laughter. Mr. JONES, who, we are happy to observe, is completely recovered from his severe indisposition, played die part of Brash in a spi rited and entertaining style. He was received with the most unanimous applemit. Sir John Melville and Lovewell, two characters that do not permit say great display of genius, were supported, with the utmost propriety, by Mr. Assort . and Mr. C. KENsLE. Mr. FARLEY was the Canton of the remedy, and was an efficient representative of the Swiss valet. We esnoot, however, see any neces sity fur Ins appearing as if bent nearly double. The vulgar termagant., Mrs. Heidelberg, was sup ported by Mrs. DAVENPORT with due vehemence both of speech and action. Mrs. C. KEhisLE, as Miss Sterling, was an admirable shrew. She give the most poignant force to the "envy, malice, and uncharitableness" of the character.- 11'e cover saw a sweeter or more interesting Fanny than Mhs BRuNTON. The comedy went off with the greatest eclat. it mnounced fur repetition amidst shouts of ;ray° The farce of The Sleep-Walker followed, in Mr. J. !Unita., from the Haymarket, ap ed, for the first time, at this theatre; in the 'ewer of Soreno.

RECOLLECTIONS OF t'URRAN. itY CHARLES PHILLIPS, E.g. The following is in Extract from the shave Wo►k : " As a judge, and indeed Barrington has hinted at it, Lord A vonmore had one great fault. Ile was apt to takr.up a first impression of a cause, and it was very difficult afterwards to obliterate it. The ad vocate, therefore, had not only to struggle against the real obstacles presented to him by the case itself, but also with the imaginary ones, created by the hasty anticipation of the judge. Curran was one day most seriously annoyed by this habit of Lord Avon. more. and he look the following whimsical method of correcting it. The reader must remember that the object of the narrator we., by a tedious and malicious procrastination, to irritate his hearer into the vice which he was so anxious to ergclicate. They were to dine together a t the house of a mutual and a I.irge pally was assembled, many of whom witnessed the occurrences of the morning. Curran, contrary to all his usual habits, was late for dinner, and at length arrived in the most ad mirably affected agitation. Why, Mr. Oman, yob• have kept us a full hour Wa t iting dinner for you,' grumbled out Lord Avonmore.—.. ' Oh, my dear Lord, 1 regret it much—you npust know it is not my custom—but I've just been witness to a most melancholy occupence.'—' My God !—you seem terribly moved by it—take a glass of wine—what was, it—what was it ?'—' I will tell you, my Lord, the moment I can collect myselfw- • I had been detained at Coast—in the Court of Chancery —your Lordship knows the Chancellor sits do—l do—but go on.'—' Well, my Lord, I was hurrying here as fast as ever I could -1 did not even change my dress—l hope I shall be excused for coming in my boots ?'—' I'oh, poll— never mind your boots—she soint—come at once to the point of the story.'—' Oh-1 will, my good Lord in a moment—l walked here—l would not even wait to get the carriage ready—.it would have taken time, you knows Now there is a market exactly in the road by which 1 had to pass—your Lordship inay perhaps recollect the market—du you To .be sore I do—go on, Curran—go on with the story.'—' 1 am very glad your Lordship remembers the market, for I totally forget the name of it— the name—the name—' • What the devil signifies the name of it, Sir?—its the Castle Market:— Your Lordship is perfectly righf-..it is'called the Castle Market. %Yell, I was passing through that very identical Castle Market, when I observed butcher preparing to kill d calf-he had a huge knife . in his hand- , -it was as sharp as n razor—the calf was standing beside him—he drew the knife to phinge it into the animal just as he wos in the actof doing so, a little boy about four years old—his only son—the loveliest little baby I ever saw, rats soddenly across his path—and he killed ! 0 I my God, he kill ed—' The child !—the child !—the child !'— vociferated Lord Aeonroore.-- , No, my Lord, the cliff,' continued Curran coolly—. , lie killed the calf—but—youi Lotdihip is is the habit of antici pating.' The universal laugh was thud raised against his Lordship, and Curran declared that often afterwards, a first impression was removed more easily from the Court of Exchequer by the recollection of the calf io Castle Market, than by all the eloquence of the entire profession."

A Jury was stuninoned au Tuesday aight, to bald an in. quiritiou un the body of Mr, Joshua Crane, painter and glazier ' of New Etelianne.echart, Strand, at the Thatched HuuseTavern, in the said Court. A person presented himself as Coroner, sad having ads ministered the asset oath to theist'', he accompanied thent• to take • view of the body. After they returned to ilieJary. room, the Funnier remarked, that the perpon who presided was so much intoxicated, as to be incapable of taking the evidence, and he suspected that he was not the Coroner; and if he was the Coroner, he thought that he ought not to have come to take an inquest Passe& a situation. The assumed Coroeer, who said that his name was Easier', replied, in a manner almost unintelligible from the effect of the liquor he bad drank, that " he came fur his governor, Mr. Stirling." The constable (Nettleton) said, that he hoped the Jar? would not suffer the versos to proceed with the inquest, or he might he censured fur it. Tb; Jury sinasiimuusly declared, that the inquiry should not proceed, as they were of opinion that they were SOL competent to hold su inquisition, not having beta" legally sworn sod esopasnelled by one of ble Majesty's Coroners. " A lois( discussion took place, i■ which the Jar, maimed. verted upon the conduct of Mr. Stirling, In sending such a person to bold an inipsi mi m ion. On Thursday night the Jury re-assembled, and Mr. Stir. ling attended, and having sworn the Jury, they reviewed the body of the deceased. and noticed some cuts about the fore head and face, and marks on the back of the bead. The wituesses were agaiu sworn, awl from their evidence it appeared, that on Saturday night last the deceased left Lome about baltpast eight o'clock, iu perfect health, and shout uioe o'clock he was sees at the corner of Turnstile, llolborn, iii a convulsive fit ; it took sit men to bold him, his convulsions were so strung, and he lore their clothes. After lie had recovered a little, he was taken to a Watch house uu Saffron-bill, and was put in the usnal place of se. curity. On his way there he fell several times backwards, and it was supposed that a vessel in the head was ruptured The deceased's wife bearing of his couBnement, went to the watch-house,' and was informed that he was inioxicsted. She tekl them that he never took liquor to Ina exam', and that be mansibe unwell. After some time the deceased was brought out of the dark-room; he was quite insensible; his wife procured a coach at five o'clock on Sunday morons', being unable to get oae before, and the deceased was con veyed home. A liatchenau accompanied him. Mrs. Crane Wormed the Jury, that the deceased's clothes were wet through when she found him in the dark-room, sad she was informed that be was thought lo be an impostor, and a bucket of water was thrown upou him to bring him to his reuses. When he arrived at home she sent for a stir geou, who said that be was dying, and be could not render him any assistance. Mr. J. H. Roy, surgeon, deposed, that he had examined the body of the deceased, and was of opinion, that the ea tercel violence was sufficieut to cause his death. His fre quently falling in the manner described by the witnesses would produce all the external appearances.

Elizabeth Brookes, 43 years of age, was iiiiiicted for uttering, on the 21st July, a forged Bank of England note of I/. knowing it to he forged, with intent to defraud the Governer and Company of the Bank of England. Mr. Serjeat►t BOSANQUET stated the case to tl►e Jury, us it was detailed in the following evidence. In conclusion he observed, that if he was under the necessity of calling one witness. l►e Must go on with the case. The Prisoner had. therefore, still tl►e power of pleading to the minor offence, as there were two indictments against I►er. Mr. Baron GRAHAM addressed the Prisoner, and said he had only one word to say to her, which was, that she should now pause to consider the situation in which she was placed ; for if a single witness was called, the prosecution must go on fur the capital offence. He by no memis meant to dictate to her any particular plea—she must Judge for herself, and he hoped sl►e would decide rightly. The Prisoner persisted in denying that she knew the note to be a forgery at the time she paid it away. John White, of No. 13, Alsop's-building•, New. rood, said the Prisoner came to his shop on Tues day, the 2lst of July, between three and four o'clock. His son served her, as witness was in the parlour; hut lie went out iota the shop before she paid for the goods; she then gave witness a 1/. note, and said her name was Brookes, and her address Mary -street, Fitiroy-sqtiare. %%Fitness's son ob served to I at the time, that they had taken a forged 11. note from the same street in December last, and he believed the Prisoner was the perion who paid it off. The Prisoner denied this, and then said she Hid not live in Mary-itreet, but iii Mary's place. On being still further questioned, she dis avowed the second address she gave, and said her place of residence was No. 11, George-street, Fitzroy-square, where her husband kept a little painter's shop, and that she had left Mary's-place about a twelvemonth. He then gave her lgs. 1.1. in change out of the note, the remainder was the price of tea, sugar, and soup, which she purchased. She went away, and lie desired his son to follow her. Witness marked the note with the filial ad dress the Prisoner gave him, and the note now pro duced was the same lie had from her. Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY. He kept the note by it.elf in a separate drawer from other money. The articles the woman bought were those which a woman in her station of life would commonly want. John White, the last witness's son, corrobo rated his testimony, and said that after she left the shop he followed her, and observed that instead of gotug towards the direction of the address she gave, she went on to Gloucester-place, and passed down through the different streets until she came to Oxford-street, where she went into a Chemist's shop near the Green Man and Still. Ou the way she occasionally looked behind as if to ascertain whether any body followed her. She stopped two or three minutes in the Chemist's shop, and Alien then went over to Little Portland-street, and through Lisle4trket. Leicester-square, to the Seven Dials—she afterwards went to Long-acre, witness there ran down to Bow -street, got an office►, returued and caine up to the Prisoner in Lincoln's- Inn-fields, where the officer took her into custody. %Vhen the Prisoner first came to the shop and was told that she looked like a person who had passed a forged note there in the December preceding. she seemed very much agitated, and denied at once the charge—she, hdwever, instantly offered to change the note she was then paying if they did not like it, but witness's father said tl►at it looked quite new, and was, lie thought, a good one—when site left the shop anJ got to the corner, she ran a consider able way on, as if to elude pursuit, but witness kept her in sight—he met a Mr. Slade on the way, who consented to accompany him in watching the Prisoner—on the way she went into a public-house. where she metely stopped to take a glass of porter. Crom-cramined.--His object in following her ass to see if she went to the address she gave in the shop. His following her through the streets might hate occupied about an hour and a quarter ; ou the way he never observed her offer a nute.iii payment fur any thing. Stephen Slade accompanied the last witness through the streets he mentioned—on the way she never attempted to throw away any thingi or utter any note. J. Johnstone, an officer from Bow-street. said, that he apprehended the Prisoner in Lincoln's-Inn fields ; site seemed to be agitated ; he asked her what made her uneasy, for if she gave a right name and address she need not be afraid. She said site had given her maiden name, and that she had been married. She afterwards said she was an unfortu nate woman, and had received the note from a gentleman in Mary-le-bone. On searching her witness found a //. note in her pocket, and I Is. 6d. In silver; . it proved to be a good note. Benjamin Brown, • tax.collector, in the district of Fitzros-square, proved that Ile such person us the Prisoner had lived at any of the addresses she gave in Mr. White's shop. The persons who resided at these places also proved that she did not live at any of them. The Bank Inspector, and one of the signing clerks proved the note paid to Mr. White to be a forgery. The Prisoner, in her defence. said site got the note from a gt lot leseisn whom she casually met, and who took pity on her distress, and insisted on her making an appointment with him on the Saturday following. She went into Mr. White's shop to buy sonic little necessaries, it was the shop where she usually went to buy groceries ott a Saturday night for her use. The reason she did not give her right address was, lest by any inquiry her family should discover and be distressed the appointmet►t she had made with a genrtle►nan ; her daughter was re spectably out as apprentice, a:id was obliged to provide her own tea and sugar, and she was in the act of carrying it to her when the officer Plopped her in Lincoln's-Inn-fields. She never made the slightest re►istansce to the officer, but went with him at once, and told how she came by the note. Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed up the evidence to the Jury, who returned a verdict of Guilty. Mary Smith, aged 36, was indicted fur having disputa of and put away two forged Batik of Eng. hold 1/. note'', On the 114111 July, with intent td defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Another count laid the offence with iiitt•iit to defrutol John Farrow. Mr. Serjeasit BOSANQUET, in stating the maitre of the evidence in this case, said, it was the last of the prosecution, for this offence which the Bank had to conduct in the present Sessions, and he should have been glad if tlie Prisoner, by pleading tcl the 'Moor offence, had spsred liiin the pain of prose ciiiio2 her case. Farrow sowed, that, o n th e 1 , 2•1 1 J u ly, the Pii.inser came to his shop. Ile ass a clothe.,. salesman at 0, Upper Mort ros..street, St. Luke's.

She then went away, and said she would try if it were pos. Bible to get more money from her hush:told, fur if she did not try to get it, the whole of his p ens i on would lie spent in the public-house. She WM after returned, and paid I/. 4'. fur the pelisse and a blue jacket, which, she said, was for her husband, Ile then marlad the second note in the same titan. ner as the first, and while the prisoner rein..ined in the shop. The two notes now produced were the swine lie had taken and marked from the Prisoner. Thirteen days afterwards lie saw her pass his shop, hut lie soon after missed her in Whitecross..treet. The next day he saw her in the custody of out officer. Cross.e.rariiined by Mr. A N mutt's. lie xis in the habit of hiving several customers soniet.ines on a Sunday morning, but on this pull cuts,. Sunday nobody was in the shop to purchase but the Prisoner while she was there. lie was po sive as to her iden•ity, lie never doubted this when he saw her miters/arils. lie never said to his servant iluthon that lie was not sure he could speak to tlib same person who passed the notes, and that he wish• ed she could recollect her better. Mary Anti [lnchon, servant to last witness ' , cor. roborated him testimony, and was equally positive that the Poisoner was the woman who paid the notes to her master, and gave her address, Canagan, den-lane. F.— F-I e r master had told her two or three times that he did not think he could re collect the person who passed the notes, and should wish witness to look at her attentively, when they went to see the person who was in custody. She was positive he said this, but witiiess was equally Certain the Prisoner was the woman. When *ha passed the notes she wore a bonnet. It was before her master had been in the watch.house to see the Pr user in custody that he said he was nut sure wheiter he could recollect her or not. Mary Farrow, the wife of the first witness, cor roborated his statement respecting the Pri►ouer's purchasing the articles in his shop, and paying fur tliein in two 1/. notes. J. Van, a constable, produced a bundle of clothes and a bonnet, which he found in the Prisoner's room when he apprehinded her. Cross-examined. —He knew a woman of the name of Driscoll, who was ut large; he knew her on the 12th July; ►he had been afterwards apprehended by witness ; he never saw Mrs. Driscoll in the clothes he now produced ; she was a little taller and more bulky than the Prisoner. He found in the Prisoner's lodgings, which he particularly ex- Brained, no part of the goods purchased of Mr. Farrow. although he closely searched for that pur pose. He found upon her 25 pawnbrokers' dupli cates, but nut one of them referred to any of the articles represented as bring sold by Mr. Farrow. The Prisoner had, he heard, a daughter, but no son, or any body who could have wanted a cordu roy dress. The clothes now produced by the constable. Mr. and Mrs. Farrow and their servant stated exactly resembled those worn by the Prisoner when she paid the notes. The pattern of the cotton gown was, however, quite a common one, and in general wear, and neither of the witnesses could say fur ther than as to the pattern. The Rank Solicitor and Clerk now proved the two notes in Court to be forgeries. The Prisoner, in her defence, said, she had neither act nor part in this transaction, nor had she been out of her house that morning, and could shrw what he► character had invariably been fur a number of years. Richard Nevill, a cabinet-maker. of No. 9, Lit tle Crown-court, Type street, said. that he had known the Prisoner; he lodged with her, and used to eat his meals with I►er.
