THEATRES. Mr. KLAN was announced for lest night in the r!:arac;er of Macbeth ; but an account of his sod den illness was received in the course of the day, the following notice was posted at mod in the t.tnioly of the Theatre Theatre-Royal, Drury-lane, Tuesday Evening, September 12, 1820. " The Public arc respectfully informed, that in cone.. g m -ore of the sudden Indisposition of Mr. KIWI, be cannot Ir.er the honour of appearing this Evening or Tantorrow. A certificate of Mr. Ruses illness from Mr. Cnaurra, ho professional attendant, confirming the necessity of his avoiding all exertion for a short time, is in the possessios of the Managers; " THIS THEATRE., which has been opened for the purpose of affording doe Public :in opportunity of witnessing the performances or Mr. KIFANI its his principal characters, before his &pato Inn- for America, will uot, therefore, be opened until THURSDAY." HAYMARKET. The detolate state of the west end of the town is the subject of general remark. This theatre last tight formed a splendid contrast. It was crowded to excess with an elecant audience. The entertain. merit ionsitted of The Suicide, and Dog Days ex Bond-3ireet, winch went oil with eclat. With such brilliant tuccess, acquired by Iris regular establish ment. the Manager, in forming an expensive en gugement with Mr. BRAHAIII, idispl”'s no ordinary ►hare of spirit and liberality. That celehrturd vocalist snakes his debut here this night under the most attractive circumstances. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. This interesting theatre. the cradle and support of native talent, nightly presents a full and fashion able audience. The pleasure which it affords is so grtat, the town must regret that its reign should he so shorts The benefits, we see in Mr. BA aTtei's bill in the front of our Paper, will commence on SAurday, when that excellent actor will sustain the part or Sir Julia hie: Tins gentleman has *lion. claims to public itatronage.

The new meld-drama of The Smuggler's Dog, or the Blind Boy's Murder! was witnessed last night with high and uudiaiiiiished pleasure by a CrOWile and elegant house. The dog Bruin, whose thea trical feats, both at this house and Sadler's were some time Since so celebrated, takes a prominent part in the new exhibition, his agency and exertions being indispensably neces sary to the working out of the plot at every stage. He acts the•Coarier d'Amour between two lovers, and delivers a billet dour, pursues and seizes a murderer, secures and curries into the hall of jus tice the evidence of his guilt in a pistol with his iMtittls. and on an appeal; and a trial by battle, enters the lists as the champion of his unjustly ac cused master, the combat, and destroys the real aauassio, though at the expense of his own life. Through this long teak the docile animal went with so much . 4 erieral correctness, that his sa gacity, address. and patience. were the theme of universal surprise and admiration. Mr. MONCRIEFF has 'hewn considerable talent in the production of the piece. The story poseurs these romantic mysterious characteristics, Which well fit it to be the foundation of a meld-drame; and, we rather think, that some of its circumstances are to be found in a narrative in Motisteet.ex's " &rural ele." The Baron Fitsallos and his lady have been assassinated by the emissaries. and at th e cam mend, of Anenlph r. CORDELL), a relative, who succeeds to their estate and title. Sylvia (Matinee La CLERCe), their son, end the rightful heir, who was born blind. is buought up by his nurse, Dame Period (Mrs. DATIDOE); till he reaches the age of fourteen, as her nephew. At that period the usurper discovering his real birth, causes him to be carried' away by two of his creatures, one of 'holm bring elope!y pursued by Herbert, the Dame's son. a smoggler.,and his dog Bruin. murders the boy. and fi•os. fierier', fomenting over the corpse. is joined by the Lady Kosonssind, who is tenderly attached to bun (Miss WATSON), a distant relation Arnulph, and the next heir to the Fitztil in isnot.* after .Nylran. its this situation they are dia. overed by Fitzullwa,acrueedliy him of the murder, and brotii4lit to trial. When the supposed culprits :,re called on for their defence. Bruin rushes in with the pistol in li;s, mouth. NW by his angry gestures, Points liefes (Mr. Bitaonev) out as Its Own*r and the true criminal. The charge is then retorted on the Baron himself,and his accomplice; and the matter is left to be decided by en appeal to Hes. veil in a trial by battle. A magnificent amphi theatre for the spectators, and lists, are prepared, mad Haire and Bruin apiwar us the two combatants. In the first rencounter Bruin seises e pike with which his opponent is armed. in his teeth, and after the most violent and protracted struggles, wrests it from his grasp. In the second onset the com batants kill each other, and tiufus is discovered to he Sirlaaa's murderer. The new scenery in troduced into the piece is vaned, extensive, and, we may with great truth add, in many in stances grand and beautiful. The music is by Mr. T. Monts, We are not quiditied to sa y whether it is all. original. hut It is certainly of a kgb order. The dresses, decorations. &c. are handsome and appropriate. , The Performers ex erted themselves very suecresfully; end, we lA helm, we gist wifely predict that the new Melo drama will be highly popular.

D 1 4 .404144 --sweinws— Her Majesty is availing herself of the adjourument of her trial to enjoy the pleuraes of retirement at her country real. dente. She on Monday spent "'lsnot two hours iu a boat on the Theme*, near Brio , !cohort& House; she then hail het accustomed early dinner, and in the afternoon sat on the lawn, amusing herself at chess.

Ass Address from the Captains, Mates, and Seamen of the British merchant service, whose vessels are now lying in the River, will be also presented to her Majesty this day at Brandenburgh House, by a numerous depilation. The Address has upwards of 2,000 signatures. It would seem that some vicious persons are indulging their evil propensities is hoaxing the public, by circulating reports that her Majesty intends visiting such and sorb pub. lie places, at specified times. The consequence is, that vast crowds assemble at the times and places mentioned, in expectation of seeing her Majesty, mid, after waiting a considerable time, are iu the end obliged to gas away disap pointed. Two instances of this part have lately occurred. One day last week it was reported tient the Queen would visit the Mint, and 15 or 20,000 people assembled there, and remained for some hours, in the hope of catching a sight of her. On Monday almost as great a number collected in the neighbourhood of St. Luke's Hospital, iu consequence of a similar rumour. ADDRESSES TO HER MAJESTY. tier Majesty returned the following gracious iinsuw to the Inhabitatas of Stockport and its environs:— a i accept, with many thanks, this affectionate Address from the Inhabitants of Stockport and its environs. " Those circumstances which are most adverse to our wishes, often prove, in the end, most favourable to our hap piness. The afiliclions with which I have been visited by the chastening baud of Providence, and the numerous wrongs which I have experienced from the injustice and inhumanity of my enemies, have tended to iscrease my opportunitirs of intellectual improvement. That improvement has, from early life, been amongst the objects nearest and dearest to my heart. The highest pre.erniiienee of man is to be a ra tional being. The cultivation of the mind is one of the first duties when we are placed in circumstances which furnish leisure for the acquisition of knowledge and the improve ment of the mind. " Those very events which, at the time, I limited most disastrusts, have enabled me to take a more comprehensive view of life, and to obtain a more thorough insight into the human .clraracter than usually happens to persons in my elevated station. My long and extensive travels, in which I have viewed a large portion of mankind under such a diver. ally of social and political aspects, have increased the con. •lesion with which I set out early in life, that liberty is es sential to the happiness of individuals, and to the prosperity of nations." Her Majesty returned the following Answer to the fillialmatits of Halifax:— " 1 shall always be ambitious of preserving the esteem of my owu sex; and, among those of my own sex, whose good opinion 1 value, I am far f►om being indifferent to the &p -p:oh:akin of the Female Inhabitants of Halifax. " I am not the narrow-minded advocate of any sect or F illy, but the common friend of all parties and accts. Every Sovereign suffers a diminution of his sovereignty in propor tion as he becomes a partiutn. There is nothing factious or sectarian in goodness; and those who aim at benefiting man kind must not suffer themselves to be fettered by exclusive partialities." The Answer of her Alajefty to the Address from the lohnhitants of the 80r0n4.4h of Alshoeshury:— ... " I am much obliged by this affectionate Address from the Inhabitants of the ancient Borough of Malmesbury. " In the conspiracy that was directed against my honour and my life, in 1806, 1 felt that integrity was strength, and innoeience security. lam not at all dismayed by the present conspiracy, though it is supported by the arm of overwhelm ing power. Vast as are its mown', and formidable as is its character, I am convinced that it will experience the fate of preceding similar attempts, and disgrace only the actors in this drama of mahgnity and injustice. " Theo my enemies find their exertions as abortive in the preaent, as in the former conspiracies, I trust that I shall experience an evening of repose after such a long day of storms.

John Bunning and Hannah Bunning were indicted for an assault on Jemirna Taylor. This rue, which was of an aggravated nature, arose out of family disagreements, which seem to have been pursued with a degree of virulence roiely paralleled. The Prosecutrix, a deeent•looking elderly woman, was a sister of the delinquents, and nursed the child of another brother, William Bunning. On the 19th June last, the parents wishing to see the child, a !message wra left at the bilging. of the Proseentris, to bring it to them befit* it went to bed. Having remained from home later than urea', she went at ten o'clock at night to take the child, and as shelves entering the hutment' its pa. rents was met by the male Defendant, who shook her rod endeavoured to force ber out. William Buniting, hearing the scuffle, went to rescue his child and was knocked down and trampled un by the Defendant John, when Hannah, who lodged in the upper part of the house, and to whom Juba had been on a visit, rushed down and also attacked the Prosecutriz, who was left after the struggle was over, co vered with blood, with a black eye and a tooth knocked out. The Prosecutrites eye was black when she came into Court from the effects of a subsequent assault committed by Jobs Bunning. The Jury having found both Defendants C.uilln, Joha Bunning was fined 51. and ordered to enter Wu recogni sance, to keep the peace for twelve mouth., himself in 401. and two sureties iu 201. each ; and Hauuah Blousing was fined Gs. Bd. and gave bee own recognizance to keep the peace for the same period. Mrs. Mary Potts, the wife of a respectable baker in the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal.green, was tried on two in. .iictments, for assaulting Elkiah Samuel Yuuug, a collector of parish rates, Ebenezer Young, his son, and lames Bright, liesdleuroueh of the parish, in the execution of their office. The first named prosecutor went accompanied by the other two to the house of Mr. Potts, to call fur 12s. (b. the amount of two quarters rates over due, fur which Mrs. Potts flippantly desired him to call again, when lie produced a warrant of distress, and baying read it, said he must take a table for the amount. Me.. Potts, a stout, jolly, and rather good.looking dame, with an excessive share of spirit, thereupon attacked them, and after pummelling all three with her fiats, threw down the money, saying, " there el—n you, don't suppose it was because 1 had not the money that 1 did not pay you at first" This was the cue sworn to by the three nominal Prosecu tors, the indictments being preferred at the instance of the trustees of the parish raise, and feebly attempted to he con tradicted by the evidence of Mrs. P.'s servant The Jury finding her guilty un both indictments, she was sentenced for tlw assents on the Collector, to a fine of 101. and for that on Mr. Height, the hem:borough, to a fine of 40 shillings. These two cases occupied the whole forenoon. THE ARMY.

The followit,gi, a letter from an American ni:t onfacturer belonging to Duml.v. t uw travelling in America. quoted in the Wasgoer Chronicle . 6 In order to satisfy myself respecting tie propos. which the Americans hove made in manufacturer, I took a ride out to Paterson, one of the principal niannfartioing towns in the United State.. This town is in the State fsf New Jersey, atonal twenty miles north-west of New York. It contains twelve mills for spinniiic cotton, and two nir spinning Haft. " The flas-mills being the most interestiuz to tun, I de voted the principal !sari of my attention to them. I found they were both wholly employed in spinning yarn for sail. canvass for the American navy. This is a branch of manu facture which the American Government seems determined to foster,, whatever may he the expense, probably in order hey that t may be independent of a supply from Comp.! in time of war. They pay for the Paterson canvass f.'s dul'ars a piece; when, in my opinion. they might get a much better qiiality of British esnessa at little more than half the mu. trey. But we have no reason to complain of them so long as we pay 70s. a quarter fur our own wheat, when we might have theirs for 30a. ult is chiefly Irish Riot which is used at Paterson. The American flax is of b. quality, probably owing to its being allowed to stand ton long on the ground in order to save the seed. The opet aliens of heckling and spinning are conduct ed is a very slovenly r, sad the machinery is in bad order. Such managumunt at Dundee would, in my opinion, occasion is one year a lon equal to the whole value of the mill.
