A large chasm was discovered in the lower part of the external wall, winch was of pro digiout Mickel" and immense pieces of timber (formed in several instances of the whole trunk of ii tree), which had been imbedded in the chalk prin. comprising the walls. were inn state acorn- Oita decay. The tower will be rebuilt upon the same plan. with the exception of that improve ment in the form of the witidowif, commenced in parts by his Maimty. which, wherever executed, added so greatly to the arsgssiticence of the • structure.

HAYMARKET THEATRE. A new, and, in the outset we may observe, a most amusing comedy, in three acts, was produced here. eu Saturdsv evening. 11 is entitled Pigeons and Crows, and, at any tinse, we would willingly leave pheasants and p4rtridges, however well dressed. to sr loess its represesitasson. The characters were elms cant : Sir Peter Piaatnwlogin . .Mr. Love*. Captain IVerill• (alias Pigyinteiggin)..Mr, Jones. Doctor Mats Mr. TERRY. Mr. tVadd Mr. It ussest.. Monsieur Blonder,* Pat . s Mr. Connote non Mr. B Mrs. Harry., Mrs. Davao PORT. Louisa Harvey Miss E BLANCHARD Betty . ....... Mrs. Gibets. The plot is excelleatly, though somewhat extravagantly constructed. Sir Peter Piggiatriggin, Suight, Aldermaa, amt Pinmaker, has entered into a treaty to marry the daugh ter of Mrs. Harvey, a wish,* holy, rather advanced in years, and so well pleased with her furrnermatrinuntial experimeat, that sloe is very anxious to try another. • Fur the purpose:of bringing the matter to a conclusitin, Sir Peter efeouse it down to Margate, where the widow and her daughter are ea• joying the delights of shrimps and seirbreeds. Sir Peter's nephew, a Captain in the army, who, from prudential rea sons, has essioned the Dame of Neville, has chanced to take up his abode at the same hotel where Mrs. and Miss Harvey are lodged. The Captain becomes deeply enanioneed of the young lady, and she, pleased with sheeleirkness of his whiskers and sheilaktness of his conversation, owns a mutual la the coarse of an interview with kits fair one,the Captain learns that his pin.makiug uncle, by whom he ad bees dos. carded for his extravagance, is his rival: He is informed, almost immediately after, that his untie hag arrived at the hotel in which he and his Sense rrlide, sod he is sadly passleil to devise some memos of •breakiog,olf the match. Sir Peter, who is a compound of amorous stupidity—strong ly given to making love and making rhystses—chances to enetimiter Louisa Harvey on his arrival at the hotel. He forces on her his agreraMe coeversai namend outs some disco. were that she " perrimig paled fellow has ruded him. self on her notice, is the agreeable being who her mother has selected as her partner for life Louisa is ass arch girl, and die determines tu play a trick on the worthy Alderman. A hiunsienr Blondes,* has just ar, iyell at Mai gate, with a sr, cond edition of the Hottentot roots for in.vetion. He has industriously circulated his cards, one of which has found its way into Louisa's hands—wild whets Sir Peter, Millen with the charms of the fair unknown, requests her address, she presents him with the card of Mion•tror dean. Sir Peter, highly delighted with the charms 3114 conversation of Louisa, whom he believes to be a young West Indian, under the guardianship of Bluarlese, is most anxious to break off the match with the Harvey family, roue sit whom he supposes be has ever sten, He immediately writes to Elcuideats erpressiug a wish to become possessed of " his beautiful maid"--and the show. mats, naturally h, imagines that be wishes to purchase jangaree, for so his broad &Wonted beauty is denominated. At this conjuncture Captsin Neville (alias Pigginwiggiii) in troduces himself to his uncle. The latter unfolds to his nephew the cause of ins visit to Margate, and receives (ruin him a horrible adomit of the person, pursuits, and character of % Harvey. The consequence as, that he agrees to give 5,0001. to any person who wilt esponse the young lady, and glom free him from the consequences atteudant on a breach of a pro mise of marriage. The Captain assures him that he tired not be uneasy on that point, for, ugly and termagant as she is, he will contrive to procure a partner fur her. Sir Peter expresses a desire to have a peep at the lady, and the Captain, who is as mischievous as Lomita, iu features the stake lit him, instead of the demo/der. Here an admirable scene of soosiroque takes place. The old lady speaks to Sir Peter of having st little girl, a pledge of fond affection—and presently states she has a fine boy, another pledge of affection. The City Kumla, happy at having escaped an union with so dissolute a character, exclaims, aside- 4 D— me, she has as many pledges as a pesos broker!" He becomes frightened at the passion which she eviucea, in consequence of some of his oh thins, and he requests a glass of water. The old lady declares, not pithstanding the rudeness of his remarks, that be shall have something miler comfortable, and she sends him a glass of wine and water—which Irc has scarcely swallowed, when the Captain arrives, who, anxious to gain a little time in or der to carry his project into execution, perateasles his uncle that he has Seen poisoned. Mu; a sleeken practitiomra of physic, is called in, nut is lartlftfled by the hopeful ne phew, that Sir Peter is mad—that lie supposes himself to have swallowed several grains of arsenic io the wine and WSHY' with which he had been treated. Mug con vince, Isis patient that he has not been poisoned, but gives him the agreeable information, that, as he is in a lamentably lunatic state, he must be contented to wear a strait waisicoat—and he makes Isis exit, fur the pur pose of procuring that beautiful eppendage to a man's per son. The Doctor " hang gone," Sir Peter "is a man again !'' and once more turns his thonghts to Blond/au's supposed relative. Scarcely has Isis mind wandered to the object of his adoration ' when Blundniu appears—and, after s ome cuoversatiun (thesbewnian speaking of Jsingaree, the Knight *skidoos to Umiak damsel he bad met in the morn ing), it is agreed dist the Alderman aril piti.maker shall pay LIMO/. to Blundeau, who in return is to resign all right god title to the " foreign fair —quite black," then living nu der hot protection. Scarcely has the deed been signed, seal od, and delivered, when the Captain appears, accompanied by Louisa, whom he bits just espoused, and her mother, who is ignorant of the onion. In fact, the old lady has hers led to suppose, iii consequence of a trio'.: played on her by her daughter, that the Captain is milieu with her charms, though she is in her 55th year. Sir Viler believes that Louisa hiss ramie her •ppearauce in cunsiquence of the orders of Bien dean—but is horribly disappointed, when his nephew informs him, in the quaint language of the charades, that " as Sir Peter was aaxiiiiis not to perform his engagement with Miss Harvey, be land done a bit pf Church, and married tier himself." The preset's:se of Doctor Mut puts an end to the mystery--the eutleaeour to elucidate which has really courouuded (be _brain of lair Peter. The drunkest Doctor appears 'with two assistants, anxious to place a siesta waistcoat on the astonished Knight. Mils declares . that it is evidetai he is mad, for he lied just seen six or eight port Inleavouriug to forces huge block women , up stairs whom the Kpight had covenanted to marry. Poor Sir Peter now perceives his error—but, moved by' the win ning entreaties of Louisa, he pardons his nephew ' and de clares that he will provid e for 'him; Mrs. Harvey,'clwated of her landed lover, retires in a rage, declaring that she will go to the South of France, dismiss her Dotter, lay in a store of health, tool live fur the purpose of annoying Is , r sl.aughler, whose fortnite is I harraLle ou her joiniure—and nt skei dos swearine, like Shyloch, ttml lie " will have his bond r. notwithstanding Sir Peter's refusal to abide by an agree's', nt, (minded in mistake.

The normalise • , also, of Mrs. Harrey to Met Peter; who *opposes that he is con versi..g with biy daughter, bears a great affiiiity to Little Isaac's iuterview with the old Denims. But, however free the author may have made with the iu ci.lents which prectrhog writers had planned, he este tainly has borrowed very little, with reference to dia logue. Almost every observation has the air of novelty—salmost every seutence is piquant. It is no easy matter to elicit a laugh from those who attend the theatre neatly every night throughout the se lion—but, during the performance of Pigeons and Crows. the cschintiatioos of the eldest veterans were as violent as those of the veriest novices. The acting throughout ws of the most superior we never saw any thing fitter. Mr. LISTON'S rhym ing citizen was exquisite. The mock dignity—the assumption of wisdous—the assumed courage-- the real fear—mere all described isi the liveliest co lours. %Viten, at the conclu•itin of the piece, he observed, in allusion to Sir Peter's having court ed. • fair lady, and contracted for n Gluck one, that he was not the first who had .4 shot at a pigeon and killed a croup," the audteuce signified time delight they had experienced Ciroughout the whole of his performastcr, by long-continued plaudits. Mr. Jones, as the lively sal eccentric Captain Neville. supported the character with humour amid animation. The Captain is one of those curious beings who forum a peculiar sort of phraseology for himself. Thus, where smother man would say. " I'll apuestr impudent"--or, " I'll make love to her"—the Captain observes, " I'll do a bit of impudence" —or, " NI do 'a bit of love !" strange mode of speaking, coming flippantly from Mr. Jones's tongue, ac compatited as it always was. by u significant nod, produced a great deal 4.f laughter. Mr. TERRY'S drunken ll) , ctor, was a truly comic performance. Mr. Russet.L, as si vulgar tradesman, a sort Of Jerry Sneak, afforded great amusement. Mr. J. .Ruszet.L's Blandeatt deserves the highest commen dation. It was a thoroughly Frenchified perform. ance. His song, describing the infidelity of his wife, was exceedingly well sung, and was loudly encored. Mr. CONNOR was a very humorous Irishnion. Mrs. DAVENPORT put on the airs of a languishing damsel of 55 with great success. Miss E. WAN CHARD exhibited more force and spirit in the cha racter of Louisa than she is accustomed to display. She sustained the part with Considerable talent. The piece was atinounced for repetition amidst I the acclamations of a most crowded house. The following Prologue witr spoke') on the occaw •ion by Mr. TERRY : Those who have travell'il in this bossy world, Tbro' it on business or fur pl Have often read with right contented air, The wish'il.for lung tempting bill of fare; Turtle and velyson, poultiy, game, and ads, Stare in the face, with ev'ry templing dish To tickle tastes or please a peaking palate, hong Ruff and Rees to simpler lobster sailed.
