1,11711Y-LAXE. Last night The Bear's (vera was perform/a here. It was compressed tato two acts, nearly in the same manner as it has been latterly brought out it the other house ; we soy nearly,lor we observed thit one scene, which, wevecellect, kept its place in otik representation a'short time since at Covent-garden, inn last night omitted, and which, Whatever are is mends in other respects,May very properly be sacri ficed on the altar of decorem—we mean the con vivial meeting between the Captain and his ladies. The best and most attractive character in the piece, Polly Peachaint, was sustained, and admirably sus tained (for the first time at this theatre), by MISS CREW. We had seen and admired this Lady's performance of the part at the Lyceum. and cep. triply every part of that of last night strongly con firmed our previous impressions. Miss CAREWa style of acting constantly reminded us of Aliso STENEENS, though the high opinion we entertain of her powers does not permit us to suspect her of being an imitator. It was characterised by those gen tle qualities, softness. tenderness, and feeling, so en tirely in unison with, or rather which are the ease°. tint elements of the bring of the original. But Miss CAREW'S great charm is her voice; she executed all the excellent songs and airs attached to the part with surpassing sweetness, delicacy, grace, and strength, and poured forth some among them in tones of such plaintive melody, and melting pathos, as to dissolve every auditor in melancholy rapture. Every song she undertook deservedly elicited marked proofs of the gratification and delight of the rrrrrr . The short air, " But he so teased me," tie. wao ,cared, as was also the beautiful sir. " Cease sourtanoin." Mr. PEARMI•N performed Mac heath. lie did not exhibit so much boldness and *ls wr have sometimes seen infused into the asked, seducing Captain; but, notwithstanding, the representation was in general faithful and ani mated, and experienced ample applause. His 1111411,g was extremely sweet and pleasing. and lie ass more than once called on to repeat a song. 511. s K 1.1. Y I ,n urtrayed Lucy Locket in the truest enlouto, and embodied in her personation not only the passim s and leading qualities, but the most trivial habits of the dusting but offended vixen,— Mis. Peachiim possessed consi derahile merits. Messrs. MUNDEN and DoWTON's excellencies in Peachiest and Locket, are too fami liar to the public to require particular notice. The Opera was in general performed extremely well, and with one slight exception, passed off wills die tinguisht d eclat. Slimily after the commencement of the second act a circuanstarce occurred which caused a brief pause in the progress of the drama. At the end of the first scene between Lary sad Macheath in the ntiwon. whets the Captain had made his exit. Miss KELLY delnyed a few moments, seemingly doubt ful what ensure to take, but at lengths retired also, leaving the stage empty. It continued so about a eee ee ute. and the audience began to manifest partial signs of impatience—which, on the further prolonga tion of the hiatus, swelled into louder clamour and hisses, mixed with occasional cries of " Manager !" Mr. Dowrum and Mr. MUNDEN now made their appearance, and were received with applause from 'whim parts of the house; but the vexation of the majority was unappeased, and the symptoms of it still displayed themselves so violently as to prevent the two Gentlemen from proceeding in their parts. Mr. DOWTOR then advanced to the front of the stage, and said— " LADIIII ARP GESITI.RMVX..- I believe musething, I SRI at a loss to know what, has excited pier displeasure. Per haps it is the compression of the Opera into two acts.— ( /it re nfer cries of" Agnew" were heard.)—For myself, I I zmir on precisely as al y part bap beta marked oat; I hate serer on any occasion been wasting in my duty." This short address experienced • tno•t partial reception, mid restored the complacency of the audience. The opera proceeded to the end without interruption. and the curtain fell amidst general and reiterated plaudits. The comic drama of The Three and the Deuce succeeded, with the farce of Two Strings to your the former Mr. ELLISTON played Pere xrine Pertiows Jingle, and Percival Sin rle, to the sisitxitnided pleasure and amusement of the hou►e, and was honoured with unanimous COVENT.UARD;II. The play of The Tempest was hut night per fumed—not indeed that inimitable work with which the grand creative genius of SHAKSPIARE enriched the literature of his country—but the al tered and mutilated drama on which the false taste of D'AvEN ANT and DRYDEN was so inveterately exercived. Miss M. TREE assumed the character of Arid on this occasion. Her appearance was really fascinating—she moved lightly and grace fully—and sang with taste and simplii its'. The Iwo air., " Come auto these yellow sands," and " Fire fathoms deep thy father lies," were excel lently given. The beautiful little strain, " Where the bee suekt," was executed, except in one point, with much delicacy and great sweetness of expres sion. The concluding cadence we think faulty— it was a heavy and laboured effort, wholly at va riance with the character of the music. The air, however, commanded an encore. Mr. TERRY sup ported the character of Prospero. It was a pod, hut by no means a finished performance. Mr. TERRY'S voice has not mellowness sufficient to give full effect ton part almost purely declamatory. The few touches of passion by which Prospero is agitated, were given by Mr. TERRY with a degree of violence, not at all consonant with our idea* of a latiitg who must have felt hie infinite superiority over those whom he chid, and whose manner should rather he disting uished by the calm dignity °fit God, than by the nul and boisterous feelings ofa mortal. In delivering the well-known passage, where Pros pero threatens to fill the bones of Cafibaa with " aches," Mr. TERRY made use of the modern pro. niinciation of the word, and called it " ekes!" This elicited the resentment of It number of indi viduals who were favourable to Mr. K cis read. which was " oitches"—two syllables—with. out which, indeed, the metre, as the line was originally constructed, must be deficient. Thiry were answered by the plaudits of time Os. _wish to souud the " c k" lik e "k," and an uproar of some minutes was the consequence. ref** the best way. is order to ',cid such mterruptiossa its; totem would he to emit the hoe in which. the wood maws. The pan of (Wiles was sostaiasg with trait wove rudeness by Mr. EXERT. This is atigeigite performance. It gives us, as far, we thiol4,..as , acting can give, powerful picture of ftikalt• SPEARE'S monster. The character of Trincolo was rendered very amusing by Mr. flt.kucnsan, and that of Stephan was humorously performed by Mr. J. RUSSELL, who has succeeded Mr. SIMMONS in the part. Prince Ferdinand was sustained by Mr. ABBOTT with feeling and propriety. Miranda and Dorinda found lovely and interesting represen tatives in Miss FOOTE said Mill BRUNTON. The latter was peculiarly entertaining in her first inter. view with Hippolyto. Nor must we omit to men tion, in approving terms, Mrs. Etuctr's personation of Hippolyto. The great feature of the character, ingenuous artlessness, was preserved with the utmost fidelity. The play was exceedingly well received. The house was well filled. EAST LONDON THEATRE. The East London Nero Theatre, lately the Hardly, opened last night fur the season, under the nuin:rge merit of Mr. RAE, late !lounger of Drnry-lane theatre. Long before the opening of the doors, the avenues were crowded with people pressing for admission, and the curtain rose to an over flowing audience. The gallery alone contains 1,200 persons ; it was completely lillrd. So great a crowd was never witnessed at this theatre, though it ranks among the oldest in the metropolis. Oa the gof the curtain, the vocal corps cdnie forward, and the loyal air of God save the King was sung in an excellent style; it excited the most enthusiastic feeling in the au dience. Mr. RAE then came forward and apolo gised for • deficiency in the lighting up of the house, which he attributed to the pressure of time. The apology, indeed, was unnecessary. There was no defect in the preparations that could in the slightest degree mar the pleasure of the per formance. A beautiful chandelier, lighted with gas, suspended from the ceiling, vied its lustre through the house, as in the winter theatres at the west end of the town, and left nothing to regret as to light. The company are very strong in talent, and their exertions were crowned with loud and universal ap. plause. At the fall of the curtain the house re sounded with continued and reiterated peals of plsuse. They were renewed with increased effect when Mr. RAE again cause forward, and announced the entertainments fur the present night. The theatre has opened with every prospect of • most prosperous season. CULFORD H4LL FESTIVITIES. Culford Hall, in Suffolk, the reat of Marquis Cornwallis, was on Thursday last the scene of splendid festivities, to celebrate the coming of age and marriage of Lady Jane Neville, his Lordship's eldest daughter. On that in onion all the poor of the villages of Culfurd, Timaortli, %Von! well, Siow, and Ingham (upwards of 700 in were re galed in the park with a dinner, consisting of good old English tore, roast beef and plumn pudding.. About twelve o'clock, the villagers advanced in the most regular order, by sound of bugle, with colours flyiug,to their respective places for dinner, in booths very judiciously arranged in a quadrangle, iii front of which each bodyjplaced their standards on arrival. The children of the school, established and sup ported by the 51archioness, went in procession, with banners flying, to a tent in the centre, bring con ducted by her Ladyship, and were entertained in a similar manner. At one o'clock the Marquis and Iklarchiottess, with a large party, among whom were the Duke of Norfolk, Lord and Lady Ilrilybrooke, Earl and Countess of Surrey. the lion. H. and Lady Jane Neville, nod many of the Gentry and Clergy of the neighbourhood, as well as the truan try of the Noble Lord, sat 4111W11 to an elegant cold collation ; and the following toasts were after wards drunk : The King—Ginl Mena " God Nave the King." The Prince Regent and Royal Family.—" Role fhitannia." Mr. Neville and Lady Jane Neville—Proveriiy to the Mouse of Braylivuolm.—" TIN> Houey-Moon." The Marquis Cornwallis—Prosperity to the Goose of Colfool.—" When good King Arthur ruled the Laud." The !Marano' nessCornwallis—Prusperity to the House of Gordon --" Lewis Gordan." The young Ladies of the House of Confining, and may they all in dae time be as happily situated as Lady Jaue.— " La Belle Catherine." Old England, Old Titres, and Old Friends.—" Should sold acquaintance he forgot." The respectable strangers who had witnessed the attractive sight were then invited to share the re pot, out of the profusion which covered the board. Rustic sports in great variety soon lifter began, which, with numerous groupes of merry dancers, continued to enliven the scene till day-light was no more: when the sound of the bugle once more in vited attention, and six hearty cheers were echoed around the Pa►k, after which each happy guest prepared to retire home. The number of persons present may be fairly computed at 4,000. The whole was admirably conducted. A letter to the hermit Reforniers of Scotland by a Renfrewshire Freeholder, has been read with lively Interest by the people of Scotland ; and the reason ing has not failed to give them just notions of the value of our mixed Government. lo stating that this happy country holds out to talents and enter prise, the highest rewards that fortune, rank, ere ploymeot, and title can confer, he gives the folios ing illustration '• When, in our own sta r , we beheld the mitre, the mace, the coronet, encircling the head of the peasant, the collier, and the WW11.11...4111111 we deny that humours nre open to all?

The lineal Duke was then conducted to the As sembly Room, where an elegant cold collation was prepared. at a very short notice, by the Mayor, con siAting of game, roilectionary, pines, &c. &c. of which the distinguished party, with the Corporation sod several Gentlemen of the town partook, his Royal Highness conversing most affably with all around him. His Royal Highness then signified his wish to visit the Spa, and having mounted his horse, proceeded to the spring, with an immense retinue, fiequently cheering him on his way. Hay ing inspected the pump-room and baths, which are now in great progress, he went down to the Spring head, nod expressed himself moat pleased with the beauties of its sitnation. The Mayor having then prevented his Royal Highness with Amtrak's Guide to the Spa, he ex pressed his desire to see the town, and haring been conducted through the principal streets by the Mayor and Corporation, about half-past five o'clock crossed the bridge, where his travelling chariot was in waitaig, took leave of those gentlemen who s hsd attended him in the most courteous and conde scending manner, and expressing himself mach pleased with his visit to Thetford, departed for ‘Veeting Hall, the seat of Colonel Dixon. The amiable and condescending manners of his Royal Highness by this short visit, are indelibly impressed upon the minds of the inhabitants of Thetford. NEW PALACE for the PRINCE REGENT. ft was lately stated in THE BRITISH PRESS, to he the intention of the Prince Regent to abandon Carl too House, and build a new Palace for his resi dence on the site of I;uckingl►am House, St. James's Park, also to pull down St. James's Palace, and appropriate the %round to the erection of squires or streets for private persons. The plan ap proved of is a palace with three fronts; the grand one will be a most magnificent object, and will have in perspective the long avgnue of trees and the canal in St. James's Parl4 •the second front will command the Green Park, sod the third have a view of the Surrey bills; fur it is proposed to give the siew Palace sufficient alti tude to overlook Pimlico. Thus the pile will have East, North-west, and South-west aspects. The two latter will be adorned with a noble terrace, in imitation of the one at Windsor Castle. To com plete this superb structure seven millions sterling see said to be requisite ; but as the Prince Regent is reluctant to apply to Parliament, his Royal Highness has given directions for the sale of the f a llowing 'properly belonging to the Crown, namely. —First, the ground on which St. Junta's Palace stin...—Second, the whale of the King's Mews.— Third, "Warwick House and its appurtenances. It is calculated that about seven hundred thousand pounds, in addition, will complete the whole; but this appears to be greatly under the mark. Carlton House goes to the Duke of York for a valuable consideration. The Triumphal Arch is still talked of ; it will be the grind entrance into London from the new Pal ice. and the bottom of St. James's-street is still thought of.

COURT OA KING'S BENCH, SeiutAwes-ls, HALE, WgDNILIDAY, NOVIIIIIIIIIII B. TDB •POTHSCA RITA' COMPANY, LONDON, r. WA RBURTON. This action, which was tried before Mr. Baron Garrow, at the Spring Assize* for Cheshire, was brought to recover certain penaitie• from the De (rodent, under the 55th of the king. cap. 194, Pee. 20. for having practised as an apothecary, in toe town of Maccle.field, subsequent to the let of August. 1815, he not being qualified so to prac tise according to the provisions of the statute. A verdict Wit tittered for the Plaintiff's, with damages to the amount of 20/. In Easter Term lasts rule was obtained, calling on the Plaintiffs to *hew cause why the verdict should not be set wide and a new trial granted, oo the ground that the Learned Judge who tried the cause had, in his charge, misdirected the Jury. The rule being called on for argument, this day, Mr. Justice BEST proceeded to read the Learned Judge's report of the trial, from which it appeared that several witnesses were examined on both sides. Those for the Plaintiffs endeavoured to'prove that the Defendant was not regularly qualified to act as an apothecary—thore fur the Defendant were called to sheer that he was • practising apothecary prior to the Ist of August. 1815, and was, on that account, exempted from the general operation of the statute, by the proviso contained in the 14th section. 'lke father of the Defendant, who had preceded his son in the apothecary line, was examined at considerable length. He stated that he had acted as a horse-doctor, a cow-doctor ' and a general doctor. in the town of Macclesfi e ld. He compound ed prescriptions, formed of various drugs, the quantities of which he sometimes ;apportioned by weight and sometimes by hand. He never had made ap a prescription from a physician's recipe. He did not understand the Latin language, and therefore could not read a doctor's recipe. But since the year 1817 his son had studied Latin very hard, under his father-in-law, who was a clergy man, and now understood the language aufficiently to make tip a prescription from the recipe of • pro fessioual man. He (the witness) had himself learned his son the art of ms apothecary. It appeared, how ever, that he was hirtstlf totally ignorant of phar. misty. and did not eves understand the English language—which was proved by his having spelled the word surgeon, in five different ways, not one of •which was correct. In summing up, the Learned Judge recapitulated the whole of the evidence, and read the different clauses of, the Act which bore on the question, leaving it to the Jury to say. whether the Defendant had. prior to the Ist of August, ISIS, practised regularly as an apothecary. so as to come within the meaninw of the 14th section of the Statute. The Jury found that lie had not, by re turning a verdict for the Plaintiff.. Mr. CAMPBELL and Mr. Gow were now heard naiad the rule. They contended, that the igno rance and waist of skill of the Defendant, render ed it impossible that be ever could have acted as a regular apothecary, and therefore he could not de rive any benefit from the exemption contained in the 14th clause, which evidently referred to men of acknowledged capacity. The Learned Judge, in his charge, did not touch on the question of skill, but left it to the Jury to say, whether the Defend ant had, prior to the Ist of August, 1815, really carried on the business of an apothecary, in the usual and regular way. Under these circumstances, they submitted that the verdict must stand. Mr. JERVIS, Mr. PULLEN, and Mr. Twin. were heard in support of the rule. They argued, that the Defendant was an apothecary before the Ist of A ugust 1815 ; that he compounded and administered medicines. and was generally resorted to by patients for that purpose. He was one of that numerous claw of persons in this country. who obtained their livelihood by compounding and administering me dicines, previously to the passing of the 55th of the King. and was, thertfctre exempt from its general operation . under the 14th clause. If the verdict were allowed to stand. a wide field of litigation would be thrown open. Many individuals of ac knowledged skill, both in the country and the city of London, who bad long practised as apothecaries. might be . objected to, on the same grounds that were urged against the Defendant—and th e conse quence would be, that the means of obi • g a livelihood would be snatched from them, contrary to the intention or the Legislature. The COURT held that the verdict was perfectly right, and that the Learned Judge before whom the cause was tried, had sent the question to the Jury in the most correct form. The question wee, whether the Defendant, prior to the I.t of August, 1815, practised the art of an apothecary in the re gular and accustomed moonier It was clear that be hail nut so practised—and. therefore, the clause of exemption did not extend to him.

With re spect to the 'text count, which alleged the breech of • subsequent similar engagement entered into later isi the year, in a time of peace with Russia. by the Defendant. with Mr. Doherty Lined, Mr. Itsper's agent, in which it had been provided, that for ill. perfect security of the Defendant's demands. the whole cargo should be at his control and dia. pont in Russia till he should be reimbursed— the Learned Serjeant argued, that Mr. De Testet had commenced the execution of this agreement, as was evidenced by his insuring and bringing the brig up from Falmouth to London, and advancing suing required for the voyage to the amount of 4.0001.; but afterwards suspended it, and counter. mended the selling, in consequence of intelligence which lie had received in the interval. rendering it probable that the advances of the French in the Russian territories might produce an accemmoda tion between the two Sovereigns, to the renewal of the exclusion or coniesciotion of cargoes from Bri tish ports, and conceiving it not life at the crivis to suffer the Mercurio Fehr to be dispatched on her intended destination, the regular news of the risking of Moscow having 'arrived three or four days after.— The alteration of circumstances. therefore, pen fectly justified the Defendant in the course he had adopted—his change of purpose being entirely agreeable to, and allowed by, the express terms of the engagement in question. The lest ennui, charging a general (rover and conversion of the cargo, was (in the Learned Counsel's opinim) sn(. ficiently answered by the facts that it was not Mr. De Tastet who sold the cargo, but the Captaiaa, Antiques; and that the Plaintiff had received credit for any of the property that had fallen into the Defendant's hands, The Learned Serjesnt made a variety of observations in defence of Mr. De Testet's conduct in the course of the transac. (ions. and to shew that the damages sustained had beets greatly over-rated. A greet number of letters, forming a part of the correspondence between the parties, were then read, and at a late hour the further proceedings were ad• journed till to-morrow morning.
