PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Since you announced the intended visit of Mrs. Jordan to this city, the box book-keepers at the theatre have been put on permanent duty. Though it is late in the season, and the Masters of the Ce remonies have had their Spring Benefits, which is generally the signal for the Chelteilliain Fly Coach to commence its career ; nay, though many of those who quaked more than the earth did on Good Friday last, have not returned to their /threat habitations, such is the attruction of this admira ble actress, that riot a seat can be procured in the blare for the ensuing fortnight. Lsily Charlotte Denm•s gave an elegant hall mid Slipper at her house in isliew Sidney-place, on Tiles. .14y last, to near three hundred of our first-rate hishionableii. The spacious rooms were beam'. folly decorated, the supper and wines excelleut, iud the Nucleon Band, purposely brought from London to assist in the dances, was a complete um city here, and of course greatly admired. Oar spiiited little townsman, Mr. Thos. Hobbs, intends giving us another treat in the musical way shortly at the Abbey Church. The performances he brought forward last year were DO ju d iciously arranged, delightfully executed, and generally ad mired, that 1 heartily hope he will experience every encouragement a liberal public can bestow. I 1111. derstand he wishes to mute the transcendent abili ties of Billington, Brahma, and Bartlernan, on the occasion, independent of the vslinaile performer* resident in Bath. A E. The Drury-Lane Coinpany performed last night for the last time at this Theatre. After The Titres And Me Deuce, Mr. E.Ltarroti came forwaid, and rezurued thanks fur the liberal patronage which they lied received, end announced their future per furnmee-ut the Lyceum in the Stroud. His ad dress was received with loud applauae. The Se rious Opera of La Setairairvide followed, in which Madame CAT LAN I volunteered her splendid talents. She was greeted with au enthusiasm worthy of her liherality and her powers, which were exerted with extraordinary effect, and the whole entertainment of the night went off with uncommon eclat. We never witnessed a greater pressure, or more powerful attraction. The whop• of the Haymarket, from Piccadilly down into Pall-Mall, Wits b 0 rompletely filled with carriages, that they could not move; and, long before six o'clock, it was with great dif ficulty that their owners, ttioligt.ti to alight, mind to walk in their splendid dresses, to.ild force weir way, on foot, through the crowd to ti;.• doors of the thi..itre. The inouuent the IifJOE• were o[Wiled, the company poured in like a torrent C4llllOll every thiug before thein.—The glass of . c:le in tenor doers was broken; the cheque takers, and box and door-keepers, were swept front ti.eir :daces, and a beViIC of genera confu sion and alarm eiemetl. Oa entering the Pit, s+•vere persons Here thrown (10W0, and shoes, t Ottani , . bud liorifikerehiels, flew in all (brew. bons ; sod pelisses were torn to pieces. Several ladies. fainted in the course of the night, but we did not hear of any accident more serious than the breaking the panne!, of carriages out of dories, and the effects of severe pressure within. It is cautioned that more parsons went away dis appointed than were accommodated in the house. 4ititit.. —., 0 er" - 7‘,.. , 4 BATH, APRIL sth. . POETRY: CONFLAGRATIO DILCTRINI THEATRI.

The day wit efsieds occiel with perish (natters. of no Veinal thienllle The case which excited the most atiestiiiir was a pmee retie°, by the palish of St. BehAph. a xirut Ant /!/lord, and her dn0#10.046/4119000g a disorderly - ender: house. Mr. KsowL►s,' wltoliir 1 for the Keane cution, called a numlesir. elwitaesses, who proved that the house had been freqesetiteriel bye vast num ber of disorderly women for aboottwo years; twen ty sr thirty couple furimg keen observed to go there daily. The Cider:eerie, exhibited in and ablaut the premises. which were within fifty yeah of a cherity-school fir females, in Cavendieft-court, Houndadith, compelled the neighbouring inhatate tints, from motives of dereary, either to block up their windows, or keep their shutters continually cloned. The house at kerb came tinder the Meatier of the parish officers, who applied to •.he elder prisoner to shut tip her house. and deeist tram such practiees ; she refused to comply, eying she bad no other means to obtain a livelihood:a...they then preferred the present indictment. Mr. KR A Er, for the prisoners, admitted the case to he proved. but argued that the daughter must be acquitted, she being included in the indictment as one of the minters or occupiers of the house, whereat, she only acted as the servant of her mother. The Hecoauea, in summing up to the Jury, stated that the objection* made by Mr. KRAFT • Must go for nothing. as the law in roses of this kind, held a person engaged is the management of a disorderly house equally guilty with the renter, and that if a woman acted tinder the influence of her husband in such an occupation. the lair would punish tooth equally. The Jury returned their verdict, finding both the prisoners guilty, The Itt:CORDIR then with much emphasis and feeling proceeded to parr sentence upon Asa il fiord the elder. in which he impressed upon her the necessity of reformiug her life, an she could not, from her advanced age, have long to live ; and desire I her to reflect seriously upon the oaten. 1. use. sequences of bringing up her daughter to such s scandalous, wicked, sod shameful life, merely for the sake of grin. He thee sesteoced her to pay re, fine of 1501. and to be imprisoned until it was paid. He then addressed himself to Anis Jibed the. younger, and after a suitable admonition, senteuced her to a fine of 501. and to be imprisoned oath she bed paid it.

She them retired, • apparently eye:- powered by her feelingo. The mother seemed to be about sixty yeas of op, and the daughter about thirty; the lstt, r was in sleep nioaroiug, as a widow—the mother was also in mourning. The anxiety of Mr. Emeettoa WOODFORD to screen his Cousin from all participation to the corrupt practices which have lama lately brought to light, is very natural and praiseeworthy. That Gentleman has lived long enou g h to know that when corruption can be proved against a Di rector, in any of his appointments. the nomivation must be annulled, and coasequently the morsel/ paid for such as appointment must be refunded. But how Mr, I . IIIILLCIIIOII can plead an igaorance of all thetransactions,is, to as. truly mysterious. It ise'perhaps, not generally. known, that Mr. Gateeshaer, the gentleman *mentioned in the Madras•Writership, was the ilmad-clerk and confi dential adviser of Mr. Tneratresow, add his ad vowed agent at the I;tarnataiple Election.
