THfAtois. _ ••■•••. natraINLANE. Lea pight was presented • new farce, entitled The Diusgreasble Surprise. The plot is related In s minute. A Cowan' and his Corporal (Mew*, FURMAN and KwtouT). pursue a young Lady and her maid (Mrs. EDWIN and Miss Kg 1.1.•), from London to Bath, which brings about two wedding., and this. notwithstanding rivalry in the Captatn's case of u booby Knight (Mr. Missal), whose suit is favoured by the father or guardian (MuKusts). There were, of course, other characters engaged in bringing about the denouement. but they seemed to have no necessary conuexion with the progress of the plot. The piece has the merit of comprising a larger quantity of puns than were ever vet heard in the same number of sentences; but the parties rippesred to have no other pretence for appear ing before the curtain than the business of pro nouncing them. The incidents, of course, lan guished, from the delay imposed by the dis play of many hundreds of presumed witticisms.— The audience became untractable before the con clusion : it was not heard. and the curtain fell amidst strong and nearly unanimous disapprobation. Mr. HU came forward, and with much diffi culty obtained a hearing to the following purpose, the sentences being each followed with mingled dis pleasure and applause:— * Ladies and Geotkritem—lt is by no twain the Nish of this Theatre to attempt to force any piece epos •It.ur attention which you are disposed to cosidems.— if.sr generosity will convince you, that it is our duty t r do every thing in our rower to secure the soma' of such p.cces as nosy be presented to no There has been some .114sppeohation, certainly, skews to the performasee of this ricc. The feelings which prompted that opposition were, au doubt, liberal feelings. We appeal then to those liberal feelings to allow that which has is almost all other eases hero allowed, a repetition of the peke beam you entitely cutaarrue it." This appeal seemed partially to change the mind of the audience. as it was followed by applauses and disapprobation, in which the former greatly predominated. ROYAL COBURG._ - - - A new 17+,10-dramatic title of enchantment, the production of Mr. MONCRIEFF, was represented for the first time at this Theatre on Monday evening last, sod exceeds in splendour and in terest every piece yet prodeced here. It is founded on the old and popular story of Beauty and the Beast ; or, the Magic Bose, which has been operatised by Sir GEollai Coixtsa k litilletised by D'Edvit.t.s, and pantomimed by CROPS; but in neither case with half that degree of effect mud rue italiob as in the present instance. Mr. Moticatsys's well-known talents seem to have been applied with more than u..al care in the writing and bringing forward this piece, which ia reported to have been dose with a degree of expedition that appears, like the piece itself, to be the work of enchantment. On the fall of the curtain, Mr. Coolie announced, amidst the hezzas of the audience, that it had lb. en written and stedied,and every preparation made, within she shotk space of six days. Some portion of the delight excited in the audience by this piece, may be very naturally accounted for. There is a charm in seeing personified in manhood, tales which have amused our infant fancies, and 'which recal is their recollection a thousand delightful ac e.tmpsoyine remembrances of joy and wonder, that compo sitions of greater pretension might vainly attempt to awaken ; tint where to all the magnificence of enchantment and woe der of magic, expected in a fairy tale, is added scenes of deep pathos and dignity, interspersed with 'patches of play toloese and tumour, the pleasure usual be proportionably heightened. Mr. Howrcev's acting is the Merchant Sean cic• hco, exceeds all praise. His mad seem% on the loss of his daughter, was hailed with an enthusiastic cheering, that fasted for several minutes, and literally electrified the house. ever. perhaps, was this excellent actor sees to mesh adroit is e—the situations in which he is placed, gate him the ft .1 onpurineities possible for displaying his intiniate ac rioni•ttrotce with human nature and the passions, and be made every use of them. Me. 11. KILSIOLZ, in the stormy sod love-strickea Clogs! King, most admirably filkd up the shun t ; outline presented him by the author—his perform ance throughout was marked with all the dark grandeur of the !Innards of Storm, and that whirlwind of passion excit ed in soil by his rejected love for Beauty. Miss Seisms , x both looked and spoke the heroise of the piece; and Mr. COSMIC made a most effective Beast. But to par ticularize where all were excellent, is invidious. With its magnificent scenery and decorations, certainly the most splendid ewer yet presented to the public, its own internal ine l ira, and the sweetness of its music, this piece wont be a lung and profitable favourite.

The old and excellent custom of rehearsing and perforMing one of TERERCR'S Comedies. previous to the Chritemas holiday., by the Kitts's Scholars', which was suspended during the two last years. its consequence of the ever-to-be-lansentrd death or the Princess CHARLOTTa. in the year 1817. and •f the dissolution oldie QUEEN in the following, hat been revived in the present. Scarcely any literary exercise can be imagined better calculated than this, at once to imbue the • d wish the beauties of elegant bounty, amid (what is the most import.. ant part of education) to prepare the student far taking • part in the employments of a nurturer age, Ind the affair. of the world. by habituating him by times to appear before and address a public assess. bly. The faculty of delivering one's seutinseute is public with perspicuity, ease, and gracefulness, has been freqttently observed by the best judges to be io this country en indispensable qualification its the pursuit, and an essential requisite to the attainment anima object. of lofty and honourable ambition and if we thought any one could be sceptical flu the subject of the assistance and ornament which oratory might derive from histrionic exhibitions, we should deem it sufficient to satisfy his doubts to rite the single example of Cleaßo engegiug /Es.A• and litosctus to teach him gesture, attitude, and, in a word, the acting of a speech. It was. therefore, with sincere pleasure, that we attended the first public rehearsal of the Adelphi yesterday evening. A very fine band of music attended, the most excellent arrangements were made for the accommodation of the specta tors. and the curtain ruse about seven o'clock. The following ii a list of the Dramatis Per. Sawa intio Deimos; Ref* Atsehiews • • G. Lagos, Clesipho ...... • • Geta Syrtis Demo ' ' LwersT. Salosio Sostrata Canthara • Eats. The first entrance of Master SHORT. as Mk. gave a very favourable impression of die iliestricil powers of the young company; an impression which every thing throughout the rehearsal tended to keep up and strengthen. Every gentleman seemed to posses.* most nice and exact conception, and to be thoroughly impressed with the sentiments. feelings, and passions of the character he undertook ; evinced a perfect and ready recollection of the language by which they were made to express them ; de livered it not only with the utmost correctness. classical propriety, and general elegancy, but with suavity or rage, strength or tidiness, dignity or ser vility, where each expression was requisite. The action was alto highly significant and appropriate, and frequently humorous or afFecting in the highest degree. Lastly, the dress, though it did not affect to represent die ancient costume, was suited with great judgtnent to the different characters, supposing them to exist at the present day. The contrast between the two elder brothers Matto and Denten. was admirably represented by Masters SHORT sod HENVERiON; the former exhibited a pleasing portrait of age, adorned by habits of liberality, mild arability, and gentle wisdom—the latter a rough one of its parsimony, petulance, and morosity— " Ditßeilis, querulict, buidator temporis arti a Se puero, censor, earligatorque misorum." Indeed Master SHOAT embodied the port's con ception with wooderlul felicity. He was very highly applauded. and deserved to be so. The dif ference of character in the two younger brothers, lEschinus and Ctesipho, was also ably displayed in the acting of Masters LEGGE and IIUSSILY. Master Lassos manifested considerable command over the pathos, in the scene where Midis leads him to be lieve that Puntpltila was about to he married to a Nlilesian. Sannio was represented with infinite hu mour by Master STERKiIy, hi. dress was as charac teristic as any we have its the course of our experience seen. The self-posseesion, ease. and tact with which Master JEFFREYS performed the intriguing Syrtis, cannot be too highly praised. Good -sense and feel ing shone through Master GRFALLY'S performance of the faithful Geta. The female characters wore well sustained, particularly Conthara, by Master EDEN, who imitated with great success the bending form and childish treble in the voice of the old Nurse. We were never so much disposed to call iii question the truth of TEREtics's imputed deficiency In the via contica as during a great part of the rehearsal. Peals of applause followed the concluding plavdite. Advice. from Manchester state, that in conse• quence of the preparations made by the civil sod military authorities in that town, and of a letter sent to COBBETT, at Irlam. about ten miles from Manchester, informing him of their determinetiox to preserve the potblic peace, he stopped short and set off for his own residence at Botley. Large crowds of Radicals were ays.mbled to receive him. The dinner was spoiled, and the Radicals growled ; but the tranquillity of the town was preserved. • - RICHARDSON.

A Ilhorp, Viscount Ridley, Sir M. W. NATIONAL GOOD. giTRACT FROM A PAMPHLZT UNDER Tag ♦DOT! XITLE, JUST PUBLISHED. 61 As the desire of travelling and speeding their time and property abroad has increased amongst the nobility and gentry—in the same degree hu contempt and neglect of the best interests of the nation manifested itself in their conduct. Why, therefore, should we suffer them to go on in their own way, without stating to them the real state and situation to which we are reduced ? It is most tin. doubtedly national good that ought to sway the proceedings of the principal men in the nation, in asmuch as the good thty possess cannot ha perma nent without it. The language of many who spend their money abroad is, that what they spend is their own; but they should recollect the weight of suf fering they cause by absenting themselves from the country. The following may serve to give them some idea of the effects produced by their absence, copied from a Provincial Paper:— "' The demand for our own manufactures has been diminished in no inconsiderable degree by the number of our gentry, who, bit, as it should seem, by what may be called the travelling taraerado, can only be cured by a dance over half Europe, or at lea►t by a jig to Paris. I fear some, of these bitten ones will, like the traveller of Shaltspeare's Rosa lind, ' sell their own lands to see other men's ; then to have seen much and to have nothing, is to have rich eyes and poor hands.' But if they should not bell their lands, by their absence they impoverish them, which is much the same thing ; fur these gaping idlers take, according to a fair calculation, about twelve millions yearly out of our country, that is, about one-eighth of the whole in come of England. It has been calculated that forty thousand hands are, by this wanton emigre.. tiro), thrown out of employment in London alone. To export one-eighth of the national income is to subtract one-eighth of the employment, by subtract ing one-eighth of the demand—a grievous evil.— But to forbid such emigration would be an inva sion, it is said, of the liberty of the subject, and these itinerants are sufficiently rich and powerful to re sist a tax on absentees, which would be most salu tary. Could, however, the foolish rage for travel ling and living in France for cheapness, be restrain ed, much of the lack of demand for our own manu factures would be undoubtedly removed by in creased home consumption.' " Thousands and tens of thousands are spent in mere gew-gaw nonsense—foreign toys, or rather, perhaps, what is worse, foreign vice, and new ful lers—lace, silks, &c. which are prohibited in this country, but which are sought after and bought with avidity in France. When some of these spend thrifts return, we see all the chewy colours of the butterfly displayed in females, and all the tricks and attitudes of a French barber are open to full view, by the dandy youths (nr exquisites), Frenchi fied in practice, and, I am afraid, iu p iuciple also. " Dr. Young, in 1744, said, is we are at war with the Power, it were well if we were at war with the manners of France. A land of levity is a land of guilt—a serious mind is the dative soil of every virtue, and the single character that does true ho nour to marikind.'-a-Had the Doctor now been living, what would have been his feelings on this subject ?" A well.dreesed man, Calling himself Captain Weston Phipps, R.H: who resided in Tssatou about lox week«, had succeeded in obtaining goods ton considerable amount.

This Was an action for slander brought by the Plaintiff against the Defendant. It appeared dust the parties were neighbours, and that on a particu lar night the Plaintiff's house caught fire. which brought the Defendant forward, who in the bustle of the moment made some observations riron What he (teemed the cause of the cunflagtation. For these he was almost at the instant sorry. and he so expressed himself to the Defendant, who replied that he could not take his apology in a private man ner, w the imputation had been publicly insinu ated. The Plaintiff reftieed to make a public apo logy, and the Present action was the result. Mr. GASet.iti, for the Defendant, regretted that the public apology was not given, and said that his client was now ready to give the fullest public apo logy for the imputation he had cast upon the De fendant, in addition to the private out he had al ready offered. Mr. Guatigv. for the Plaintiff. consented to receive this public apology, and a verdict for 51. fur the Plaintiff. This offer was complied with. tad a verdict ea= tered up accordingly. GADD V. BENNETT. This was an action brought by die Plaintiff against the Defendant for • malicious arrest and false imprisonment. It appeared that so long ago as 1811, the Plaintiff was a tenant of the Defend ant's, and had some account to settle with him. The latter at that time brought an action against the former, and at length not only consented to withdraw the action he brought, but to pay the costs. Of this action the Plaintiff heard no more until 1816, when he was arrested at the suit of the Defendant, and imprisoned for want of bail for the space of thirteen days. The CHIN , JUITICt left it to the Jury to consi der whether the imprisonment was for a lawful cause or a 'malicious purpose. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff.-401. damages. OLD BAULKY, WIIDNILIDAY, Dec. 1. The above %miaow commenced this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Huu. Mr. Justice Bayley, Sir W. Garrow, the Recorder, &c. The contest tar seniority between the Sheriffs appears to have ceased. Mr. Sheriff Bothwell preceded Mr. Justke Bayley to the right side of the Court.

When the Prosecutor permitted the hill at the house of the two solicitors, those centime, out having re ceived the slightest consideration for it, gut bold of the in striinseut and bunted it.

Nothing whatever arose is the course of the proceedings to merriest the Jury to curse to the conclusion of feloity, end, under the direction of the Court, the Defendsois were all honourably Acquitted sod discharged instantly.

GENTLEIII6II.—It would be superfluous in such wink as this, to detail the great mid paramount influence which your opinion must at all times have With the public, whenever that opinion shall he expressed through the coustitutioual medium of County Meeti ngs. You, Gentlemen, are the natural guardiars cf the rights rod the liberties of the people ; aid it behoves you to be active, prudent, and zealous in their defence, because the riches and ct mforts you possess—riches and comforts which no other country affords—are derived solely and entirely from the uncommon industry of the English pep.. ple ; au industry which has been excited nod fos tered, and which is only to be maintained by the security they have enjoyed, or are likely to enjoy, under the protection of just and equal Incas, sup ported by a free repreren , attire Government.

Front your habits of life, tieing intimately acquainted with the feelings, commits, and dispost tions of the working classes, you are able to appre ciate justly their wows, their discontents, and the effect of legislative enactments upon their welfare; while from your education, and your independent dignity as gentlemen, you are enabled to see thron i th and to check, the sinister or the foolish designs of those numerous and aspiring members of the ruin. isniiity, among whom the executive powers of the state are usually distributed. PMce, tranquillity, and order, being the very sources front whence you deriv e _ your power in the state, you never, as a body, entertain say ambitious or violent intentions--oad hence it fol. lons. that when necessity calls for your interference. you are enabled withost clangers'( misrepresentation or area suspicion. to arsense a high and determined toos in your remonstrances to Government s fed a I
