THEATRES. baveY-LASZ. Last night Mr. KEAN perfumed at this theatre the part of Broils. in the tragedy of that name, with his usual distinguished Kist. His reception seas the most flattering we ever remember to have seep, sod his acting in every part justified the en thusiasm of the audience. His admirable dowituu cation of his views against Tarqiiio, in the early part of the traigedy—his desperate end thrilling itn -lin-canoe's upon him when he hears Of the dreadful outrage committed by the tyrant on Lucretia—his frAirig and pathetic eloquence when arousing the Itor an. to shake off their galling yoke. and the final struggle between the ties of public duty and the heart-rending pings of parental tenderness, when lie (1 , 11111414 his son over to the axe of the lictor to expiate his treasons, preseseted • combina tion of Ina. rornic efforts rarely witnerwerl. and sever s u rpassed upon this or any other silage.

COVENT-GARDEN. Lest night was produced a petite comedy in two acts (founded on an historical anecdote), called A Short heirs and a Merry One. One of the STA, tsi.eus' to iu France at the time that he is elected to the vacaut throne of Poland. The French Minister, apprehensive that obstructions would be thrown in the way of the new Monarch on les journey to his dorninioos, through the jell. li:ittsy at the neighbouring posers, employs a young Freed§ Nobleman, the Chevalier de Malinger, to counterfeit his name and raok.—sthe stratagem suc ceeds, and %life the fictitious potentate is reposing anis enjoying himself in Brittany, the true Monarch recipes the t,igilance of his enenres, arilees ill War- WM, and is crowned. This is the basis on which the structure is reared, of which the following is an uut,:rre. The Bairn de Pirsterrille (Mr. Br..t.u citsats), at whose chateau the Chevalier de Ala tionaes (Mr. C. KiIIBLT) is entertained, has a !wily daughter (Miss FOOTS), passiornttely attach ed to a t oath, named Sava& (Mr. A nenrr). nephew to a ripirig usurer. who is Treasurer of Ilnteany (NJ,. Lime). and an old acquaintance of the ( Ireadiee're. The Baron destines his daugh ter's hand for the Treasurer, and Saralle is alisneloned by the latter. and rejected by the forgoer. Hustervilk bus ri sister mho, win) once loco dly arrives at the castle, and turns out to be h e Countess de Nosiere (Mrs. Dar 'sem), a Lady lk-hateo whom and the chevalier a mutual and aulerit pennon hail been felt, hut who is pressed by her brother to marry the Count de Lausanne Mn.!

Mr. LISTON lepresented the miserly and coxcomical Treasurer iu his own eccentric and unique manner. fEs and sI r. BLANCHARD'S very odd dresses, threw thy. house into laughter the instant they appeared on the stage. The various chatiges of expression his counte nance assumed, while/I/oranges de.cribea the order and manner of the duel which hangs over him. were truly ridiculous—indeed the great success tile comedy ezpenruced was very much owing to Mr. Itsurotes exertions.

Edmonds, of B,r• ruingluirn, and Wally of the oldest and most re,pectal.le lidistntarits of Coventry. Mr. Grant was called to the the Chair by acclatnantin. Mr. Grant •ildrrealed the meeting, nehorming them it was currently reported that it was the intention of the Police to disturb them in the exercise or their constitutional rights, that of discrissing ',oldie grievances, &c; although surf) thirsts had bees' held out, yet he did not think that those persons whose duly it was to keep the peace would have the temerity to act so illegal, and to break that peace which they hod sworn to keep.

Mr. Lewes then stepped forward to propose some Resolutions. At this moment a body of about 600 constables, headed toy the High Constable and the City Police, made their appearance upon the (;teen. Mr. Lewis called to the people. who wete goeatly alarmed, not to be terrifitld at the ■plrear ance of the civil power, but to act entirely under their directions. As soon as the constables arrived on the Green, the people immediately divided!. and opened a passage for them to go to the hu►tings, supposing that they had wetlands to serve upon those who were taking u prominent part in the lnt•iness of the d my. The constables were armed nith stave•, loaded with lead. and they dealt out blows right and left upon the people Indiscrimi nately. The particular obj-et of the constables appeared to be the flag. which they seized, and beat those who carried them mint they lay on the ground bleed ing and insensible. They tore the flags to pieces wad attacked the hustings, which they began to pull to pieces, while several persons were on them. The errs of the wounded and those who were in great alarm, were truly astounding, and the greatest voqu.ion and terror prevailed. " You will be killed, Lewis ! You will be killed, Edmonds !" &e. was the cry of great numbers round the bust iligs, which were tumbling to pieces by the vio lence of the constables while they stood there on. They were yoked if they had any warrant of authority for acting in the way they had done, and, us they did not produce soy, or appre hend any person, it was presumed they had no authority whatever for their proceeding,. Mr. Eil aloud* went off immediately to the Mayor, end asked him if it was by his authority that the meet ing had been disturbed, &e. &c. The Mayor re plied in the negative, and expressed a sorrow lair what bad occurred. The Mayor and one of the Aldermen went immediately to the meeting, et the request of Mr. Edmoods, to protect the people from further outrage. After those persons who had been seriously in jured were taken home, the petting (ander the protection of the Mayor and other Member. of the (:orporation) resumed the discusaiou. The hues legs having been broken down, Mr. Edmonds gut upon the shoulders of two men, arid, in a most energetic speech, condemned the proceeding. at Manchester, and also the unjustifiable attack made upon that meeting. lie stated, that this illegal out rage would no doubt bring the question to on issue —whether a meeting, peaceably assembled todecuss their grievances, or to petition the Throne or Parliament, could be attacked, beaten, and &p.n.- ed, by either the civil or military power ? lie felt it his duty to offer his thanks to the Mayor anal Aldermen, who had come forward to protect the meeting from further violence. S • I other persons afterwards addressed the assemblage, and several Resolutions were proposed- SO carried. After the Resolutions were carried, a vote of thank. was proposed to the Mayor end Aldermen, who had come forward after the attack upon the people, to restrain . the constables from committing flutter outrage. Maury person., who thought that they might have presentee' the violence altogether, opposed the too. non, and upon its being put, was hot by a great majority. The Meeting peaceably broke up.
