Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, Dee. 11,1818. flaw.—A• you have given publieip to IWisa Kelly's letter L your widelpeatentled Paper of thia day, reflecting on the conduct of our Sub• Committee with regard to that Lady, trine you will also allow me the like oppo rigidly of staling the plain matter of fact, which, as Manager of Drury-lane Theatre, 1 feel myself called upon to lay before the Public. Previews to the opening of Drury-lane Theatre, at the request .f the Sib-Cuseseif Ire. who were most anxious to retail. all the prominent talent which they possessed last sensor, I wrote a letter to Miss Kelly, contaisiog an offer of her former terms, namely, twenty pounds per week, provided she would restrict her assistance, whilst it remained open, to their Theatre. To this letter I received an answer from Miss Kelly, declining any engagement. How this agrees with Miss Kelly's assertion, that the Sub-Committee did not chose to retain her services, the Public will judge. This silatellftlt necessity has wrung from me; sod no feel ing of hostility towards MUM Kelly, whose talents no one cno more admire than I do, sad tie loss of whose assistance in the Theatre, nn one at the time could have mars sin cerely lamented. It is an honest relation of the truth; then surely neither Miss Kelly, nor any of her most partial friends, cats blasne the Sub-Committee, if circumstances of distress (which I hope not likely) have fallen on herself, or those dependant on her exertions; for if such were likely to be the consegoence, would she have rejected •• handsome an establishment ?

If proof were wanted of the efficiency of the means now adopted fur the prevention of smuggling above the old system, or of the determined intre pidity manifested by our naval officers iii perform ing every duty assigned to them, the following par ticulars furnish a proof beyond all controversy : A kw nights ago Capt. Miller %Voraley, of the Isle of %%right, bad received information that a quantity of smuggled spirits was sunk off Dunnose. The wind blew so hard, that it was impossible to get a butt round the point from Shanklin, and the sea was so tremendous to windward, as to threaten immediate destruction to any boat which should venture to leave the shore. The gallant euptriu, however, was not to be deterred by any common danger; and finding two men who were good swimmers, and who agreed to accompany him in the perilous attempt, launched a boat, and pro ceeded some distance from the shore in spite of the wave% A tremendous sea, however, suddenly upset the boat, and the intrepid crew were left to find their way to shore, which, with difficulty, they effected. The hoot was recovered, and saved from destruc %Vith • spirit which is invincible, the intrepid Captain again proposed making a fresh attempt, and actually succeeded in accomplishing the task of seizing 161 casks of liquor, and bringing it safe to land, after incredible difficulty and exertion, to the admiration of every one who witueised the daring exploit. - - - A Ball was given, in the most handsome manner, on Tiomlay 14+1. at Lincoln County Assembly Rooms, by Mr. tisarti and the l;eittleincti of the Burton Ilnnt, to the town and neighbourhood.

On Saturday night, about eight o'clock, an !aqui Minis was taken iu the Committee-room of St. Etarilsol ..... o's Hospital, before Mr. SHELTON, Coroner fur London, oil the body of Charles Louis Peregaux, a native of aged 35. The personae eiretirslances attendina the death of this unfortunate gentleman, we stated in this Paper on Saturday, excited the curiosity and sympathy of many persons of re spectability, wills whom the Court was crowded long before the Coroner made Isis appearance. Miss Gayman (the ob ject of the deceased's affections) was brought in, supported by her guardian, Mr. Healey, and an elfin ly tidy ; she was dressed in black, and wept bitterly. Shortly after Mr. Shelton entered, and the following evidence was received : Miss Gayman being sworn, said her name was Harriet Gayman • she knew the deceased, he was the friend of her brother, Captain thymus, and had paid his addresses to her about three mouths. On Wednesday evening last, about six o'clock, became to Mr. Heinle?' house, where she liver, and requested to speak to her. She went to hint into the par lour; he spoke very incoherently, ud asked if she would con sent to marry him immediately; she replied in the negative. He then asked if she would accompany him to America, and she rejoined,;that such a step would be both imprudent and inconsistent, considering that she was not his wife He re plied that she was his wife, fur in America the people never marry, and spoke in other respects incoherently. After conversing some time, the deceased, in despair, asked her if she bad given up all idea ef ever seeing him again, and she replied, that under existing circumstances, their union wan never likely to take place. He then desired her to have conch called, as be intended to go home, and was next day going to Asinerica on board a ship that was about to sail that day. She left the room for this purpose, having previously left paper and ink with the deceased, al his request. In about four minutes she returned, and on cohering the room was shocked to see the deceased lying on the ground, and wel tering in his blood. She instantly alarmed Mr. Hawley, and then left the room very much terrified, since which time she hasaot seen the deceased. Mr. Hamley, of Red Lion-street, Holborn, watchmaker, stated, that about six o'clock un Wednesday evening, the deceased, whom he knew was in the habit of paying his addresses to Miss Garman, came to his house and requested to speak to that young laity, witness told him she had gone out to tea at Miss Wall's, Lamb's Conduit street.

When obs returned, witness heard her scream, sad be beamed foto the room, when: he found the deceased lying upon the boor; the knife produced (a sharp-pointed ease knife), was found lying sear him all bloody. Witness carried Miss (layman out in Ids Sr.., and heard the deceased articulate "Adieu! adieu! adieu, my dear r He then sent for Mr. Wale', the surgeon, and two others; the former attended and examined the de ceased's wounds, sad by his advice he was sent to the Hos. pital. The deceased was a Geetlentan of great probity and honour, but Mi.s Gaymen's friends did not consider him as adequate match for her from pecuniary motives. She had been left wider witness's guardianship by her brother on gobs' abroad. Wiliam here produced a written paper found in the deceased's pocket after he committed the fatal ad, of which the following is a translation of the original Preach. " The perfidious persons who have endeavoured to ruin me have too well succeeded. They have filled my mind with misery, and they make me look upon death as a Mew ing. Receive, my dear and respectable father, my last adieus! My dear brothers sod sisters, farewell! Honour has been my motto—let that console you. " LOUIS PEREGAUX. " PS.

Witness was present at an la ternal examination after he died, aid found that the instru ment penetrated through the lungs into the heart. Mrs. Sarah Rackbant, 13,..Uni0n-street, Somers Town, stated, that the deceased lodged in her house about three weeks; he was an artist, and occupied his time in drawing flowers and patterns for calico printers. He had French and English books, and studied the English language. When he first came he appeared very cheerio', but during the last week he exhibited symptoms of derangenteist, gloominess, and dejection. He gave her notice of quitting his lodging, saying be intended to leave town on Wednesday. He ap peared quite distracted. William Roper, occupying the sbep in last witness'w house, related Many circumstances indicative of the dejected state of Naiad of the deceased during the lasi week.

Of late his conduct appeared to them very strange, and the last time witness saw him his partner said, be appeared to be out of his mind.
