The peaceable inhabitants of the Tower have spin been disturbed by the nocturnal intrusion of the attach-celebrated ghost. At a late honr, s few evenings since, the two sentinels on duty at that pert of the Tower where the spiritual intruder ge nerally apneas, were Alarmed by the visit Of a large Week Cali, oamPiugly in high condition. and fit for the London market; but from the unseason. ablenera of the hour, it was thought necessary by one of the mitioris to put him to rest. Jul com pliance with the ordets given to men on that its hen. be was *best to discharge the coo/temp of his musket into his fillet, but was restrained .by his conirade, whO being in.mther a more elevated po sition, ,was a little mate enlijghtinedns to this inys. terions appearance; and the watchman belonging to the Board of Ordnance wee iiummontel to hold a touncit of war, wherein it was decreed that the aericaut of the maim guard rhombi be male ac quainted with the presence of this ,visitor with a calf's head, who was in the mean time ainn.isig himself by running up and dOWn the walls ' be tween the legs of the soldiery and the watch men, defying all their efforts to grapple with him. The aerjearit with a file of men having arrived, he demouded a parley, and took occasion to inform his ghostship that he was no : gentleman. of which it is supposed he was perfectly aware. es he did not attempt to deny it, bet confirmed to cut Ins capers with the utmost ountehalemet, which induced the serjeent to give order's for the men to preeent arms at the spot which Master Boa mewed to consider as his home. This mandate had the desired effect, and he vanished into air. There now remains little doubt but that this appearance is produced by the magic lantern, the prime mover of which remains undiscovered; we had hoped that the consequences of a former ex ebouLfive years since, by . the death of a Wither belonging to the Veteran Battalion, proved to him the wickedness of eirdt:avouring thus to pl sy upon the weak feeling of any fellow-creatuee. and it is more than inoliable an equally tragic termination would.have attended this (we trust last) exploit. but for the cool courage of the watchmeu and soldiers upon whom the attempt was made.

OvsTat IBIEDII.—The long continuance of a calm sea halo enabled our lidwronen to snake a more ac curate survey of the beds of oysters discovered off this coast about two years ago. Frogs' repeated trawling*. they have calculated, that for ors r3ttCDt of 70 milts S.E. bud S.W. tliis•borly of shell fish. lie no prodigious cosmoses. The shortest breadth is nut less than mien mites. The oysters caught to the S.W. are of excellent Illsvour. Several spe culators have been examining the line of coast, in order to find • couveuiesit spot for forming oyster beds. Shoreham Harbour is mentioned as a most desirable. spot, as that bed of the river consists of a fine black and. From the facikty of carriage COD. veyance to the metropolis, it is likely that tins new source of trade will rumble the proprietor's to supply • vial proportion of tfw consumpoion of oysters its the London market, in the course of another year.— (Brighton, Se*. 3/. • . COVINT-G,ARDSN. The Proprietors have commenced the season by departing from loug-established castom. Formerly, many weeks were suffered to eloper, when the theatre had opened, before recourse we. had to notrilty. The town was allowed to fill with those fashionable parties, who had spent their summer in the coon. try, ere the nbiuet of theatrical curiosities; was opened, and expiated to general view. Now. however. a different course has been tanned. Novelty succeeds novelty with unprecedented rapi dity—and the experiment, evidently has been crowned with perfect success. The admire- I,l.comedy of 7'he School fur Seestdal--o comedy, which, for wit, may rank with the h e st o f Coo sitivit's, end, decency sod propriety b-lug con. milted, must be placed still higher—was last night perfoenietl—.Mr. W. FAWN (lost of the Dublin thntre) appearing. for the first time o n these broads, a" Sir Peter •',task. Fescue has. for • con enterable tithe. been busy in proclaiming the greet relents of thus Gentlemen. *o highly hese they berm eulogised. that we begun. unwillingly. t o imagine, slat he was indebted more to the feel ings of private frientiiihiti,' that. to the dictates of unprejudiced judgment, for much of the praise which was bestowed on him. In the outset. however. we must observe. that. before Mr. FAR RCN had concluded his first scene, our doubts on this point were removed, and we felt that his merits had not been over-mud. To look a chit. meter well is one great step towards begetting the favourable opinion of en auilieuce. I.itleril, where the appearance dors not coincide with the character —where* inatron-lookisig lady assumes the language and manners of youth—or where a unto, of niveisile aspect. affects " the lean and shp t s. red paidaltein," —however good the conception eel the part, however judicious the acting, much of the pleasure which would otherwise be derived from it is lost ; the dia logue is at variance with the aporanince of those who deliver it—and the illusion of the "cease is destroyed. That illusion was excellently preserved by Mr. I. Those who have seen lion off the stage would think it scarcely possible so young • man could put on such an appearance of mobility and those who have not, end who witnessed his per formance last night, will be led to imagism that he is considerably advanced im life. His look, motion, and manner, formed au excellent commentary pu the text, and gave us a very correct idea of the starch old bachelor. whose approach to perfect peevishness and ill-salute was retarded by the in tervention of a Is noisome young wife, who leas given his feelings 'mother direction, end excites violent passion. where before there was more of 'Julienne's than of spirit. Every transition of the character was met by Mr. FANIEN with II correspondent its irrigation of voice, and uu appmpriate alteration of countensuce. Ili% voice is of a very peculiar kind —a little tinctured. we think. with a ousel tone. which adds considerably to as comic effect, but dues nut, in city degree. intrifere with the clear uess of Isis atticalation. His features are exceed ing!) Orxible—adapted, with ease, to the circiun- Ounce of the osoment, joy, vexation, rage. asto. instilment. iucredulity (all strongly comic), are puurtrayed in his couutenance, and 1/11bs front it. with as much celerity as the shadows in liatquo's glass appear and disappear. Its mo dern days, we have not seen any representative of Sir Petty. Teazle who could at all compete with hips. lie happily blends, with ill the eccesi tricities of the character, a portion of gentleusauly demeanour, which has tau often been sacrificed to buffioury and grimace. His humour, dry and caustic. assisted by one of the clearest comics:diens that eau be imagined, gave itretigth and point, we may my barb, to the sairteal observations or Sir Peter, whether iutroduced fur Ilse purpose of mot laying his wife, or with the snore laudable object of annoying. if not of reforming. the scandalous coterie, by the vicious charms of whose arum she lied been misled. We have now nientumed the leading characteristics of this excellent actor, and the general features of his performance. In every acetic where he appeared. we could point out beau ties, tonality the favourable opinion we hate given —but a few instances will suffice. Perhaps Sir Peter's first interview with Sir ()liver Sarfuce was -never more exquisitely supported. lie bratty in'- nest joy which marked hiss approach to the friend of his youth—the cordially of his welcome—the pleasurable emotion which such a meeting, after an Ossetic, of many years, elicited—were nolo:store of a mild free from every care end trouble; but how powerful and how ludicrous was the colossal, alien his marring.: was otiesitioutd. 'fhe smile vanished front his lip, sod with a face as melancholy as Romeo's apothecary, lie requested to beer no more upon that subject fur the present. " No," observes Sir Oliver, " friends ought not to intioduce griev ances st their first suretnig." To this she answer was a look most comically piteous. It seemed to say. " Ali! No!! ! I see )•ua know my situ.- tiusi—for friendship's sake, spare me!" The scene in which Sir Peter is suddenly seised with en uxo. rims fit, and determines " server, never, never to quartet again !" was exquisitely acted. Herr, too, the beauty of the scene consists in the strength and boldness of the contrast. .Sir Peter, • in a gallant end toying humour, delighted to head his lady anxious to please, can refuse her nothing. He tra vels over the histoiy of their early courtship with greet delight, stud forgets that hr was ever unhappy. Determined, by some good advice, it. " make is- SUrallee double sure," he affronts his' lady. and a violent contentious is the consequence—rendered more unsupportable to hien, because Lady Teusle does not entirely lose her temper. This acme was altogether richly humorous. It was exceedingly well kept tip, both in lilt amorous and the angry part. The screen scene. in which there a r greater variety of noontime than in any other of the comedy, does Mr. FARRAR the highest credit. The recta. mahout, •s What a fine sentiment !" which fol lowed Joseph's mond sentences, delivered, on each occasion, with a ilitteresit look used toile, produced II *Kong comic effect. Of a different character was Isis declaration 'elitism to Ludy Tea:le, which was given with a great demi of feeling, although there was still attached to it a little of she oddity by which the character a peculiarly 1'144111. guished.

Indeed, if any part of. Mr. Watniz's exertions struck us us resid;ring them unequal, it was his soinetino4 permitting the fret-. fulness of his own disposition. and the petulance of his sorrows, to overcome altogether Isis nattered benevolence of heart, and from se solitary mourner to turn out a sarcastic tyrant, losing for is moment all respect for the feelings of others. We allude particularly to the passage in which the Count del Vainiant, interrupted in Isis contemplations by the festivities of his affectionate tensistry, communi cites his orders to his domestic to drive them from! his gate. But perhaps Mr. WARDE did sio mores in this particular than suit his mutton to the language attsibisted to the personage he represented ; and truly we think that language quite out of character. The Carnes hunt of mission against his iiittticeut; niece, drawing her vivid and enthusiastic picture if wedded love and connubial happiness. was end justly applauded ; though the instant victory' over his mos' 11, the return to reason used . humanity, cod fervent benediction of his ward.: was in our eyes, if not s more happy, yet a more pleasing and gratifying anti. The relation of the Conies story to Florian, his in credulity and frenzied anger ass the interview with Maxim, and final meeting with and recognition of Eugenia, received the most flattering marks of approlistion. Mrs. CLOVER'S Anoxia was a eery • meritorious piece of acting; Miss E.

Mr. FOOTE did ample justice. to the Baron de Iduglierille. • The force of I ke Sleep- Walker, followed.—Mr. J. Russzt.f., The Sleep-Walker's, edeutrable imitas nom of KISIESLE, RIMS.
