That which excited the f rearest elegree of extreelario., and curiosity, was Mr Lt tisron's Sir H-rry trihtir. Since the Bars of the celebrated Peg V OFF/MGT/Dr:, thi s charaCter has been almost uniformly filled by a Lady. Mse C....ILLY, Mrs. CR AWFS RD, the fas cinating Mrs. Josoars, and many other fir , t-rate a e r e.ses, have sought to extend their fame, by a p r sonification of the effeminate Baronet. Mr. Wits es, encooragedhy hissuccess in 7c.rsoms, once, indeed, attempted it upon the Dublin Stage ; but he failed in the part. Looking, therefore, at the charaCter of Sir Harry Wildivr, as requiring an ex c-s;ive lightness, buoyancy, and airiness, seldom to he round in a masculine figure, or combined irit manly talents, we did not entertain the rr. - q sanguine expeftation of Mr. Er-us-rotes sus cc‘s. We were, however, agreeably disappointed. Mr. ELLISTON played the charader in a new way. Instead of an effeminate trifling fop, he made Sir Wary Wiliair a light, lively, elegant mats of fa shion. If his conception of the cbaraßer be just, his predecessors certainly over-aded the part. He is intuled. however, to credit, for avoiding that line in which he was not likely to excel. At his entre be apoeared greatly animated by the flattering style in which he was received, and infused an extraor dinary degree of vivaeity into the part ; but iu the latter scenes his spirit bad considerably abated, and be came down to the level of Doricour I or Mirnbel. Afis Met.Losi, a Trost interesting Angelica, was elegantly dressed, and locked extremely well. Mrs. Powt L L gave 1 ady beretvell in her best mann -r ; though you detested the part, you must admire the :serest. Mr. BAMNISTLI, in Bean Clincher, was very lively and entertaining; and Mr. Co cc tes was on excellent representative of the younger brother. Mr. DowroN looked the amorous A/airmen admi rably, and was much applauded. Colonel Stand lid is a part so nearly allied to that of Colonel Briton, that Mr. BA *MY atone must succeed in it. The whole performance was loudly applauded ; and we have no doubt, the piece, as got up, will bring many crowded houses. In the niter of be ;redefine Day, Mrs. JORDAN, in Lady Contest, was in one of her happiest and most playful moods ; she sang the sweet air " In the dead of the night," in the most captivating style. It was loudly eleoced, and the most enthusiastic rapture pervaded the audience. COVENT•4IAROE Y. Mrs SIDDON% made her dr/at for the scisen. in charger of liabeila. iN The Fa'al Marriage.

Yesterday, the I.oyal North Britons mustered at their parade, Gray's-Inn Gardens, for the purpose of being reviewed by His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who recently sixnified his intention to take the command of the Corps. At twelve o'clock, His ROYAL liioliNass arrived on horseback, dressed in the uniform of the regiment, accompanied by two General Officers, and Colonel demo rsos. On his approach, the re. t iment made a royal salute, which was received with the most condescending polite ness. They then went through a variety of ma oeuvres ; and, at two o'clock, their Royal COM.. mander retired, after expressing his satishalion at th-ir ste isly behaviour, and soldier•like appearance. The regiment will, in future, wear the Ducal Coro net and Gaiter of the Royal Arms, in their uni forms. About seven o'clock, on last Thursday evening, a person employed iiy a chemist in London, to coiled simples on Sussex Downs, was stopp..ci near Rot tingdean, on his way to Rrightnn, by four men in soldiers' uniforms, armed with bayonets, who rob bed him of trine guineas and all his clothes, with which they made off, leaving the man quite in a state of nature ; in which situation he was i ia.lding back to Rortingdean, when he was met by a la bourer, who lent him his smock frock to cover him, and attended him to the above place, where, on his arrival, the circumstance waa made known to the Duke of fle A utuar, who generously made the man a handsome present, and promised to use his utmost endeavours to discover the robbers. PUGILISM. ' PEARCE (THE GAME. CHICKEN) AND GULLEY. It is necesstfy to preface this encounter with some thing of a biographical sketch of the listed Knights, whose valour is air theme. It will be remembered, that they were to hive justed at Blackwater in ;hints, on the 20th of Jwly last ; but thousands of the public were disappointed, and the tournament was adjourn ed till the present month, pee or ploy. The stake was no mean one--sit hundred pounds to four hundred, was the sum for which those rivals contended, and the current betting was regulated by proportionate odds in favour of the Chicken, though some of his friends hazarded two to one. The Chicken, it was well known, had fought three victorious bat tles, within a short period, and his fame was so bruited abroad, that, by universal assent, he acquired the merited and proud title of the Champion of England. His enemies, jealous of his honours, pre tended, that his prior battles had been fought with mere Tyros in the science of pugilism. Be it so— the inference could only be assumed from his having uniformly conquered his opponents, without even a scratched face, or the slightest bruise. Doubtless, as he himself expresses it, rather with more energy than elegance, he could, without difficulty, moll the three men, one after the other. The Chicken seldom hits with his left hand, but he uses it expertly in stop ping, while he throws in whl his right. blows as or cible as those of Milo, the Crotonian, and equally capable ef felling an oz. Gr-lee is hut little known to the Londoners. He never before signalised bins self in any pitched battle for a large sum. Soon after the ChaAen had beat his last man (Cart), six months since, no one could be found who would ven ture to oppose him. If we trace the history of rm. gilism, it will be found, that when an here has enti tled himself to be denominated the Champion of the Day, another has sprung up to dispute his claim.— Gulley, who had been the terror of the fighting-men of Bristol, offered to dispute his laurels, but he was then in durance, for a sum exceeding 1001. his ran som was obtained, on condition that he would throw down his gauntlet against the Game ChrtLen, He is much such a made man as Belcher, senior, but somewhat taller and longer-reached. In point of muscular appearance, an accurate judge w gild not contemplate him as a man cast iu the precise mould for fighting. At ten o'clock, on Tuesday morning, the combat ants met at Hailsham, near Eastbourne, and, after a short conference amongst the amateurs, a twenty four feet roped ring was formed on a green adjoin ing the village. At one o'clock, the combatants entered, Tom Joan and //r4 Whell, for Gulley. and Clark and 'T. Ward, for the Caacins. Two to one was offered in vain on favoarite. ita TH A. 17 R I,S.

A second battle for twent y.fiveguineas, was fought between C►-6 and Ri.hman the black.
