H.4Y.VARICET THEATRE. The comedy of Torn and Country was loot night performed. The title is attractive : the youth who has never been five miles from the metropolis, is anxious to have • peep at the country—and the young lady, who has just arrived in London, wishes, incog. to view the 101011. Each may be pleased at the moment—but each will soon leartt that no re. I:acce ought to be placed on the descriptions of a drim i. where a stock broker is the I. 000 i o darting Hegel" with a hand is open as day to melting cha rity," and the peasantry of a remote part of Wales, are the ventures of sentiment and sensibility. Such ti comedy (if that can be called a comedy, where tears arie courted, and laughter is almost forbidden) must depend for its success entirely on individual exer tion. Its principal characters were last night ex. tremely well tilled. Mr. WAaoL appeared, for the first time this season, in the character of Reuben Glentop. I t was very evident, from his reception, that I.e hut!, during his former visit, made a deep im pression on die town. He was hailed as an old friend, stud his ;mintier shewed that he appreciated the kind near stmt feelingly. He performed the character of Reuben exceedingly well. He described the raptures and the olespairof a lover, as if ne had himself tooched upon the antipode* of the passion. The scene in which hr receives the appalling intelligence of Rosidie's flight was greatly acted. Has appear suer, which, but the moment before indicated the most perfect self-satisfaction, became altogether changed—and the hurricane of passion succeeded 'he tattooer , '" of a contented mind. In the interview with - Mastic, the supposed seducer of his Rosalie, I:is acting was excellent—except when he pointed to the wound on Plastic's temple. Ile should then have shewn more emotion and more impas sioned animation. Cosey was personated in " • very comforts - hie manner" by Mr. TERRY ; and Tree was supported, not unhumorously, by Mr. Mr AT. V9ON. Miss E. BLANCHARD supported the elms racier of Rosalie Somers. In the last scene, where Rosalie declares, that fortune is useless to her un less it be slimed with her lover, the gentle mien, slid still inure gentle accents of Miss BLANCRARD, g:.ve to the scene the appearance of reality. Mr. Cox soles Plastic was a lively and agreeable per. I ' , nuance. The lion. Mrs. ,lenroy found a lovely and efficient representative in Mrs. CONNOR. The new farce of Wet Weather followed. It ex. cited continual laughter—Dial to move laughter is the r, gtar province of farce. The author cannot, however. lay claim to entire originality. The Mei 14'0, of the ►ing and letter are borrowed from OTway's licentious comedy of The Atheist ; or, %he Soldier's Fortune. The house war crowded. Miss O'NEILL arrived in Dublin on Sands,' but, and was announced for Beleidera nn Monday night. 11• r arrival had excited universal pleasure and ex lip elation. The buttes of the 'Cheatre had been t.,ken for several nights in advance. Mr. FAIIREN, who so successfully established as a first-rate actor, during the Isit winter ;,t Covent-garden, has left town for Cheltenham, •here. lie will play three nights, previously to a pro f,-..tonal visit to Newcastle, Edinburgh, and C!efig , ,w.

SIR HENRY VANE.—In the reign of CHARLES T. the fees of his office, as Treasurer of the Navy, thuivzh but four-pence in the pound, by reason of the Dutch war, amounted to 90,000/. per annum. Of this circumstance he had the magnanimity to acquaint the Parliament, and observing that such profit was a shameful robbery of the public, offered hi give up his patent, which he had obtained for lift. from CHARLES I. and to accept in lien, for an ag-I,t he had bred up to the businevs, 54000/.

The Parliament readily assented to the laworral, atoll as • reward for his public virtue, settled on Sir HENRY the yearly sum of 121. now many are there to whom in these critical ■nd "% lug times we might well say—" Go yr •ud do hirwite?" THE REVERRND MR. HARRISON. GUILDHALL.--Yegterday, at eleven o'clock, Arthur Thistlewood applied to the Sitting Magis trate (Alderman Maguey), for permission to see the Reverend Mi. Hirrison, of Stockport, who was arrested on Wednesday, in the waggon at Smith field, and confined in the Giltspur.street Compter. Alderman Maguey said, that as the Lord Mayor had committed Alr. Harrison upon a warrant, it would perhaps be more proper to apply to his Lord ship on the subjrrt. Mr. Thiatlewoud said he was very anxious to see Mr. Hard*on, and wished to know whether hail would hot be taken for him ? If there was no objec tion to that proposal, the most respectable persons were ready to enter into recognizance.. _ _ Mr. Thistlewood was further informed, that the Lord Mayor, when Mr. Harrison was brought be fore him, had told that gentlemen that the warrant required the personal attendance of the party be fore the signing Magistrate. Alderman Magusy, therefore, however well disposed to do so, had it not in his power to take bail ; but two officers would be in readiness to convey Mr. Harrison to Stockport, with all possible expedition, and in the intermediate time care should, in compliance with the Lord Mayor's orders, be taken, that Mr. Harrison should have no reason to complain. Mr. Thistlewood then asked, whether he was to understand that the Magistrate refused to allow him to see his friend, of whom he had no doubt all possible care was taken ? Alderman Magnay said he was by no means to take that fur granted. If the Lord Mayor was not at the Mansion-house, probably some Magistrate was there, who had received instructions from his Lordship in the event of applications of this kind. The applicant then left the Office, and in a few minutes returned, and stated, that there is no Ma gistrate at the Justice-room of the Mansion-house. Alderman Magnay then said. he could see no objection to an interview between Mr. Thistlewood and Mr. Harrison; and Mr. Teague, the Governor of the Compter, accompanied the former to the Prison. where the two friends conversed together for some time. It is necessary to state, that Mr. Harrison, who conducted himself with great propriety before the Lord Mayor, expressed I►is entire satisfaction at the intimation given him that the warrant should be fully executed, which could not be done until the Defendant was brought before the Magistrates who had signed the warrant that had been backed by the Lord Mayor. ALARMING FIRE. Last night, about ten o'clock, • dreadful fire broke out at the house of Mr. Kennedy, a cork. cutter, in Cow-lane, Smithfield. The progress of the flames was so rapid, that they soon communi. cater, to the extensive premises of Mr. Smith, a cabi net and pocket-book-manufacturer, which were iu a short tutor destroyed, together with the building where the fire first began. The houses in Green Dragon-court, and those in Cock-court adjoin ing, were in the most imminent danger. The back part of several of them had taken fire by eleven o'clock, and the greatest alarm and ter. ror prevailed round the neighbourhood. Per. sons were running in every direction, endeavour. lug to save what little property they could from the devouring element. A vast.siumber of engines soon arrived on the spot, and a plentiful supply of water being at hand, the ut t alacrity prevailed among the firemen to stop its further progress. When our repoi ter left the scene, at twelve o'clock, the flames were in a great part extinguished. General D'EvEitzux, says a Dublin Paper, in consideration of his great services, has obtained a grant of territory in Venezuela, equal to fifty square leagues, which he proposes speedily to par cel out, under advantageous circumstances, to set tlers from Ireland. V'e are informed that the Liverpool Light Horse, as well as most of the other corps of volunteer caval►y in the kingdom, have received notice to hold themselves in a state of preparation, on the possi bility of their bring called out to suppress any do mestic distsirbasice.—(Liverpool Paper.) A Committee of Wier has been formed at Dor. ham, for the humane purpose of visiting and giv ing instruction to the female prisoners in the gaol and house of correction in that city. The ladies assembled for the first time in their committee room on the 14th of June, when they entered into a series of resolutions, which they have since acted upon. Two of the ladies in rotation vi►it the pri soners eVe ry day, and devote two hours to their in struction in reading, writing, and sewing; prayers and a portion of scripture ore also read to thew by the visitors, and we are happy to learn that im provement a already perceptible amongst the wo men.

SAINT SWITHIN. ••=0•1101.1. This important day (Saint Swithin), big with tbs fate of crops and harvests, was yesterday se'nuiebt ; but the Saint being, we suppose, ie a gracious mood, the day passed over without one ominous drop of rain to alarm the fears of the su perstitious. On the vigil of his Reverence, the good old wo ws were, as usual, busy is, their prognosticatioes; and such were their eagerness to watch the mafioso a the Saint, that bag ere the Sun bad gilded the camera tsarina, many of them were seen hatf•dressed at their chamber windows, some holding out their " lily-white hands," to catch the much. dreaded drops, and others exploring the clouds through their Sunday spectacles." The day, however, continued fair, and our harvest is comequanstly secure. MAURICE AND BERGHETTA ; OR, THE PRIEST OP RAMER?: Mr. Wm. Parnell, M.P. has just published a Tale under this title, which contains a faithful and eloquent delineation of the manners of the litho. blunts of the sister kingdom. It is written with spirit and feeling, and developer' some traits of us timid character which partake of the glowing and lively colouring of Miss Edgeworth. The author, in a sensible preface, alludes pretty much in detail to the political state of his country, and delivers his opinions with a manly freedom. The following extract contains his view of Mr. Peel's Adminis tration : " Nothing can more strongly prove, that, so long as the oppression of the Catholics is continued in Ireland, all ef forts of melioration are nugatory, then the result of Mr. Peers administration in Ireland. We mention it with re luctance, for, though a succeeding age will deem it very oppressive, our habits were reconciled to it ; and it was dealt in so very courteous a measure, that we were inclined to :clam thanks for the civility with which we were shut out of doors. The polish of the wespoe was so line, that life was fled before we perceived the wound. We were like the Pellew Islander, whose thoughts, while be lay dying at the bottom of the boat, were engaged in admiring the com plexion of the man who bad shut him. Let us be just to Mr. Peel ; be possessed a great deal of good intention, as admirable freedoms from all sordid interest, and a mind na turally inclining to liberal and wise government ; and if he had not lately betrayed something of too strong a bias to Government influence, and to the Court, in the cases of the Comm' Rotoloruns ' and the Costal Regis, there is no one in whose political success (Catholic Essaocipation once greeted) we could take a warmer sympathy. " Now though there was much good intention on Mr. Peel's part, and an example of great activity and attention given and followed through every department of government, yet, while this grievous sore was exasperated, these political balsams and liniments were mere quackery. The had of the canker was seared, but its roots spread; faction, party spirit, discontent, mid alienation from the English govern ment increased to a degree, that was remarkable even in a country where they always abounded. But the mournful sod hopeless distress to which all ranks of society were re duced, has scarcely been paralleled in countries laid waste by military force. Let any one read the reports of the four physicians sent to examine into the state of disease; and, though they were made with something of travelling celerity, and an air of extenuation appears throughout, sufficient facts escape to mark the magnitude of this horrid calamity. " But it wilt immediately be said, why make Mr. Peel accountable file the effects of the atmosphere and the sea sons ? What has•his administratir.. to do with famine and fever ? Nothing certainly, if these evils arose entirely from the inclemency of the tames and erasers; but if the intolera ble degree of these evils had their °ries is U se waut of fore sight, of prudence, and of accumulation, which always cha racterises an oppressed and degraded people, then his ad. ministration mina have had a very great concern in produc ing these deplorable effects. " Let not Mr. Peel consider this as the language of hosti lity; so far as the Author is personally concerned, he is anxious that this Gentleman should leans to look back on his Irish adininistration with some degree of compunction, and that the future part be probably will hold in the English ad ministration may be of a more benevolent sad equitable cast. a Mr. Peel is himself too candid not to excuse him, and remember, that Friendship by sweet reproof is shewe. " Perhaps it will not be difficult to account for the con versational wit, intelligence, and suavity of manner, which the II isb possess is a superior degree to the English pea santry. a The English peasantry may be pretty generally consi dered as a domestic race of people—they have the virtues of domestic habits, and the defects, if they may be called so, of a want of vivacity and conversation. a On the whole their character is well adapted to their station of life, and they are pretty much what one would wish a religious and industrious peasantry to be. " Oa the contrary, the habits of the Irish peasantry are all anti-domestic • they miss no opportunity of being in society, and thee perpetually occur: hence the habit of conversation and art of manners are familiar to them. " Irish merry meetings of the lower ranks, though they may differ in the polish of the detail, have the same general effects as the more fashionable assemblies of the higher ranks ; funerals, weaks, rind POWs' days, though they bare dirty for their pretence, are all a species of rout ; and when to these fairs, markets, races, occasional parties fur a light, hurling, or football maids, and several night dances sad card assemblies in each parish are added, and all eagerly attended, it may easily be conceived, that an birds peasant is rather more sociable and polished than hats his station." The American Papers continue to speak of the great extent of commercial distress and numerous failures in the United States. One house is stated to have stopped in New York for twelve millions of dollars, and every thing like commercial confidence is almost annihilated throughout the United States. A Notice has been issued in Portugal by the Board of Commerce, from which it appears that the Portuguese Government is preparing to clsim of the United States the amount .of the losses sustained by their merchants, in consequence of the captures by privateers under the Malta! flag. • . _ HEN AY MULL KITIIoi.DS.

The declaration set forth, that the article had been put up to sale, anion other goody, publicly and regularly, and knocked down to Plaintiffs, as the highest bidders, at something above ic2/. hut that Defendants afterwards refused to deliver it at that price. The Defendants pleaded, that the goods not hav ing been their property, but only intrusted to them to sell, and nu price having been fixed by the own ers, they procured one of the Plaintiffs, as a person acquainted with the value of timber, to examine and inform them what the staves were worth ; that he. not having returned them any answer, appeared at the auction and bid fur them; and that they, relying on his character as a security that he would not take any advantage of their ignorance, sold them to him at the price above mentioned—whereas it turned out afterwards that they were worth 351. more, and thence they inferred that the contract was not binding. When a considerable portion of time had been consumed by the cause, one of the Jury expressed a wish that a compromise should be come to, conscious as he was of the honour of both parties, and that neither of them would knowingly do any thing unfair or incorrect. This suggestion was agreed to, and a verdict taken for the Plaintiffs, subject to arbitration. ritE4i BETTING Al' Tisuaspar. JULY 22. TM. variailai . .lo 14s Math rands,.
