THEATRFS. DRtiT•LAW This Theatre opened last night, for the first time since the demise of our late lamented Katie. The performance chiefly consisted of sacred and secular music. In part the first, a Monody, writ ten by Doctor Bunny, " in respectful and White+ ful remembrance of his late most excellent Ma irs-ry." was delivered by Mr'. in • most impressive manner, and with . great feeling and effect. It was universally ipplauded. /*tor I%at . my Redeemer hates," Jai given by lbtre.lfet.bbil with that richness. variety,-and power of voice, for which this lady is so much diitingisished. " Ilene my priler," a sluk Ihy Miss CAaew and Mrs. BLAND, was much ap 'traded. The Grand funeral Scene, arranged by had .s Very grand effect. The first act concluded with "God save she King." which was sung by the' vocal strength of the company. mil receited with every mark of respect. In part the second, Mrs. GLOVE& recited au lade to Britannia, swatters - by Mr. Snits's. with much force and animation. Miss CREW sang Aitgels ever bright encl./air," with charming simplicity. Mr. I3tallalf was, encored in " Swim! us alone." The extraordi nay }rowels of this accomplished . singer have been seldom more happily exerted. Mr.r. SALMON next enraptured the audience by the flue execution of that noble sir, " Let the bright Scrap/aims," and in " Irons mighty Kings."—" Some, ever smiling Likely," by altos C• new, and • patriotic air, by Mr. Bitaitall, were highly applauded. To them succeeded a piece, written by Dr. BUSBY. and recited by Mr. Er.LisTutt. The whole con cluded with " Kale Britannia," by the whole cow irony. This national air was cheered with en thusiasm by the audience. In the early pert of the slight a hand-bill, of which the following is a copy, was widely cliaribut ed through the house, and thrown in great numbers from the gallery into the pit : To be sung at the conclusion of " God save the king," by fill loyal Subjects of George Ir. and Carotins his Ql , ll.

This was • preparative to excite an interest f o e her MAJESTY in the audience, and was followed up in the course of the first act, with a cull from the gullery For a plaudit to Queen Ca aot.ciiii. of which no notice was taken. It was revived by • rew voices from the same quarter, but immediately overwhelmed by a shower of hisses, iod oo further attempt was made to renew it. We have seldom witnessed a more delightful display of great musical talent them tliat which last night enriched the tribute of graaeful and mourn ful respect offered to the memory of our departed Sovereigss. The following are ouplls of the three pieces se verally recited by Mrs. W. Wisr, Mrs. GLovsy., and Mr. ELLISTON MONODY •X nos LAT, *were *ton** ifies Borman sir siss?w. Well.

On the full of the curtain Mr. ABBOTT came for ward, and apologized for the absence of Mr. YAtas, who was einunnticed fora port in the farce of Love, Law, and Physic. The manager, lie @yid, had waited until that moment in expectation of his attendance; but having received no communication from him, it was feared, from his habitue' diligesice and priortualitv, that some accident had befallen him. He concluded with hoping that tlig audience would accept, as a substitute, the opera of Karina, in which :lime TREE had consented to play the part of Rosiaa. The offer was accepted with great pleasure, and the piece went off with applause.— Miss Time was encored in several airs, Had loudly applauded. THE SURREY. This theatre re-commenced its performances last night with a solemn Dirge, is commemoration of the lite melancholy events; after which " God save the King," with additional verses, was sung by the whole company, and concluded with part of the Coronation Anthem, daring which a splendid illumination of h.s present MAJESTY'S initials was exhibited with acclamations of applause. The scene represented a euperh.,(lothic chapel. The following stanzas, written Ivy the Manager, were loudly greeted by the whole house:— As wbeu the phi:coin dies, From his proud übsrgnka New glories spring; So Britaiii'd patriot flame Shall ieeive Georee's name, And about with loud acclaim, God sure the King!

THE DUBLIN THEATRE. Rummers are in circulation, that several per sons, of theatrical eminence sod celehrity. have made offers to the Proprietors of Crow-street Theatre to rake that establishment for • specified tune, and n a certain yearly reut under the new patent. If this be the fact, and there is some reason to think it is, the prospect of the renewal of our theatrical recreations is a favourable one.— Perhaps this course is the best that could be pur. snail for else interests of the melons persons coil veined in Crow-street Theatre. A patent, vested in trustees, who had * diicretionury power in di.posing of the Theatre, for the joint benefit of the Proprietors and other 6uiteirtits, might be productive of muoia for their common advantage. At all events, iii the present disunion of the princi pal parties in the property of the Theatre, it seems to be a very feasible plan, and deserving of an expe riment. Soinething similar in the state of Drury. lane Theatre, rendered it a prudent and eligible mode of adjusting the numerous demands upon that concern, and of terminating the conical, which were almost sure to result from every meeting of those connected with it, to let the whole of the Theatre to Mr. EwsTosi—by which measure, every indivi. dual who had claims of any kind upon it, saw at onca how much wag secured to him of hi. property. What was good fur Drury.lane. may be equally good for Crow-street Theatre. The incontinence, upon the latter house seen( to form the principal difficulty in the renewal of the Patent. A plan which purports to meet them in the most effectual way, will consequently remove a great portion, if not the whole, of that difficulty; and the issuing of the Patent may hr presumed to follow its adoption. We wish sincerely that the letting of the Theatre, if it be what it seems, the best resource left, may he as speedily agreed upon as a proper re.prct and veneration for the demise of our late great and good Sovereign will admit of. We are glad to find some of our contemporaries leading the way upon this project of letting the Theatre. We had some delicacy in suggesting such a procedure oareelveit, as the most eligible to be pursued ; but it having been already suggested, we. have no hesitation in expressing our approbation • of it, and in affording it such co-operation us we • are capable of.—(The (Dublin) Correspondent.) LEGAL BON MOT.—A lawyer in the Court of Exchequer, Dublin, speaking of a plea which was under discussion, said. 16 The plea, my Lords, is a very short one ; I drew it in a few minutes, as I was leaning against the pillar yonder."—" Accord ingly," said Baron SMITH.

SECOND -EDITION. BRITISH PRESS OFFICE, SEVAN O'CLOCK, 4. M. FRIDAY MORNING. We have jast received the Paris Papers of Tues day last. The assassimitiop of the Duke de Berri has excited consternation and alarm through all that city. The Chambers of Peers and Deputies inimedi3tely 'n-t, and voted Addresses of Condo. lence to the hilig, which they presented £9lthAith, who returned ! gracious answers. The following is his answer to that of the Chamber of Deputies : " I am deeply affected by the interest which the Chamber of Deputies feels in my great sorrow. I see with pleasure its readiness to concur iu my wishes on this ►cost serious matter. It cannot donht that a man in heart, as a king in duty, 1 will take the measures necessary to secure the State from those dangers of which the crime of this day has given me butt too much notice." The following is an accurate report of the new examination of the assassin, which is only a confir mation and developement of tire first : Q. Who incited you to the crime which you have committed ?—A. My opinions, my senti ments Q. What are those opinions, those sentiments ?.-- A. My opinions are that the Bourbons are tyrants,' and the most cruel enemies of France. Q. Why, entertaining this opinion, did you pre. fer the Duke de Bern for your attack ?—A. cause this Prince is the youngest of the Royal Fa. wily, and the one who seems destined to prrpetu. ate this race, enemy of France. Q. Do you repent of what you have done ?—Na. Q. Have you any instigator, any accomplice ? A. None. Such is the summary of the interrogatory. It sheaf., as far as the evidence goes, that the assassin had no motives of personal revenge, and that he acted under the same inspiration a, that which im pelled Ravillac to the assassination of Hen►y IV. and Damien to the assassination of Louis XV. that is under the inspiration of party spirit incited to frenzy, and a most furious heat of imagination. At half past seven, the body of the Prince leas carried to the Louvre, as formerly that of Henry IV. after his assaa•ivation in the Rue de Is Ferrnmierie. A chapel is preparing opposite the Bridge of Arts, in which the body will remain to be seen by the public, until the moment directed by the King for its burial in the Royal tombs of St. Des. Preparations were immediately s:omnaenced for the trial of the sasase'n before the Reysl Court. The Duchess bud entered her chariot when the Duke received the. mortal wound. It did not es cape her notice—&hc darted out of the carriage to his assistance. The King, Monsieur, and the Duke and Dir. chess of Alienletne, were present when he expired. He displayed great fortitude and resignation in his lust moments. I'lie Duchess of Berri did not leave him until enjoined by the King. She proceeded to Si.Cloncl, to which she was followed by the Duchess of An gouleme. The Courts of Law did not sit on Monday. The Stock Exchange was not open, and all the places or ! while amusement were shut, and all invitations for private parties during the course of the week were postponed. Loavet, the came of the assassin, is already ce. lebrated io the annals of regicide. His manner is tranquil. The physicians have not perceived any al teration in his pulse. Ile is,sitrt 40, dark, bald, and his countenance has the eximession of an hyena. He was a working eadler ill the train of artillery of the Old Cuard ; lie never carried arms even as a soldier. He went in 1815 to the Isle of Elba, and was afterwards found at Waterloo. The Duke sle Bern kst week received an moony. mous letter earnestly exhorting him not to attend any masked ball. The Duke and Ducheos of ARGYLL- end fa mily, are expected to Arrive in a lets days at their house in Upper Brook-street, fur the season, from their seat iii Soma.

(Applause.) JOSEPH MARRYATT, Esq. M.P. in mavieg the first of a series of Resolutions !fur which see ,I..'eci tosenent), said that the cinzeits of Loteloa 51101.'.1 ever have in view the essential advantage of a 11-- presentative in Parliament well acquatotel sell h trade and commercial transactions—• man ohm iel.o would labour to protect and advance coninierrial interests. Too much "tress had hitherto teen lath piton the eligibility of men to a seat in Parliament for the city. because they were Aldermen or distio ' ouished Members of the Corporation. It vas iu his view altogether inconsistent. A men immersed as Mr. Wilson, or any other commercial mint might be, in extensive mercantile esigagemelits, hiving, perhips, a large foreign trade sod correspontleoce to attend to, could not pusaibly perform the various *civic duties, and at the same time do his duty in Those eves, who had hitherto are •cepted the gown almost invariably found that the Antics attached to it were too great to be executed, lead • interfered much with their ordinary business. • citietios had, on former occasions, exempted etisidtdiites'for the repreaentation from the urn. aktiwlll aquid its possession be now insisted upon. ? Tfle duty of a Member of Parliament was most arduous; for. not only were his evenings appro priated to the debates and other ordinary lit•inette, but his mornings were devoted to Committees. To exercise the functions of a magistiute, t;irrefw,., and attend one's own immediate 1)11:ine:s under such circumstances, at one and the same time, were quite incompatible. In this view it was quite con. .latent to return Mr. Wilson, who was eminently qualified from his high commercial character. A Knowledge of commerce was not to be acquired by theory ; and what a man did not know himself be could not explain to others. It was to this, uo doubt, that they might attribute those misfortunes which hail often Walk's commerce; because whet, evils were complained of, they were not remedied. It wits necessary also that the Representative o f th e cinuitiercial and trading interest, should be truly independent—that lie should be a man tint a lw a ys suppotting whatever measure a Nltioster might pro pose; nor, on the other hand, opposing, by fact'. ous means, useful enaction' of the Legislature.—' (Hear, hear.) Joists Fiasco, Esq. seconded the Resolution. What Mr. Wilson had promised to perlarin. tie did, end his °Laurin steady adherence to the ode rests of the commercial world. and his unceasing attention to such questions in Parliament, well eh titledisim to the situation of their Representatve. Wit.t.tair WARD, Esq. proposed the second lie. solution. A report had gone abroad that unless a man stood high in the Corporation, he was not qualified to be a Member for the City. He thought this ridiculous. The citizens of London should not forget it. commercial interests. So anxious was Liverpool to have these protected. that its mer chants paid the expenses of electing a man fully conversant its commerce and re....cantile tiansac tions ; and had not Liverpool, lie would ask, Auto. rished in the most eminent degree? I-le coincided with the Gentleman who held that the Representa tive of a great commercial city like London, should be purely independent. Ho should be free [rum all subserviency to Administration, but lie should also be free from what was a far greater evil, that of subserviency to popular clamour. Mr. Willett' was this independent man, and worthy their sub. frages.—(eipplause.) BENJAMIN SHAW, Esq. M.P. seconded the Resolution. The death of the Mouarch had brought hack the exercise of the elective franchise to the citizens of London. It was in vain to dis guise that their worthy Representative, Mr. Miami, would be opposed in seeking his return. This, he understood, was to arise from the refusal to I..k e a civiuottru; hut surely theCurporation would not be so regardless of the trading interests as not ti. sea the uecessity of hew:Logone at least out of four, who wits more particularly acquainted with (ies. lion' of commerce.
