The entravagant, but insipid comedy of A Cirre fur thr thart-.4che, Will last night represented— Mr. WATKI ssom. late of the Haymarket Theatre, making In. first appearance on these boards as Old E ap id. W e have frequently had occasion to men /inn this Gentleman's scenic seal uirements, in the inguage of approval —and his last night's perform since does not visit us with the necessity of revising, much IC4. of altering the opinion we Previously xprreird. Mr. AVATRINSON has clearly selected Mr. MUNDEN for his model—and a more amusing or paitular model lie could not have chosen. He la not, however, to be coosidered a mere imitator. He sometimes introduced new business, with goOd effect—and, in the only serious scene ia which tad Rapid is engaged, where he is apprised by los son that he is implicated in an affair of honour, he played Irom his own feelings, and played very well. His performance possessed a considerable degree of humour—but it was not of that broad and In therous character, which ought to mccompa y iii" eccentricities of this Prince of Tailors, and which we have so often seen attached to them. Mr. IlraTitiNsost will, we think, be found a very use ful adjunct to the comic corps—but we fear he will never be a greater actor than he now is. His manner is perlectly farmed—and we think the time has gone by when any expectation of au ap proximar to greater excellence could reason ably he entertained. Mr. Werrom, a scion trout the Surrey Theatre, made his define iii the chi. racier of Frank flatland. H.s face, which is round and chubby, and his figure, which is short and stout, are very well adapted to the rustic character which he assumed. Ile evinced no incousiderable talent fur low comedy—and ac. quitted himself with great credit. The bluntness and honesty of his manner—the good-nature which smiled on ha countenance—and the unliesitatiog heartiness with which he gave utterance to his fret. lags—formed a strong sod plea•iiig picture of the (mug farmer. Ile displayed some clever acting in the critic al write, where Frank's virtue it tempted try the purse of Mr. Vortex. The two new per formers writ: extremely well received. Mr. PEN LEY rattled through the part of Young Rapid with mote spirit than we have usually seen biro put forth. The part of Vortex was respectably tilled by Mr. GATTIK. Mrs. IiARLOWIe, picture of Miss Vor ter—a rude and vulgar being, without any te,oui inendinion out money—was exquisitely comic. lit the farce of The Irishman in London, which fA nne d, Mr . WLSTUN personatrd illartoch °c igar!, anti considerable success. His brogue was nut overstrained, and there was mach inclines* in his wa nn er. He sing, with no small effect, the rnn~ of The Wild Irishman," and the original Flan.r•y. They were much applauded—as was, no ir.d, his enure performance. The Is went off exceedingly well. The house was completely tilled al halt price. ROYAL COBURG THEdTRICAL lUND.

A painful degree of interest has been excited by the amides disappearance of Mr. Robert Sellers, an eminent curd•maker, at Wike, urar Bradford, who, there is every reason to tear, has either perished by accident, or been the victim of an assassin. This gentleman attended the mai ket at this place on Tuesday, where lie remained until len o'clock at night, when he mounted his horse fur the avowed purpose of re turning home, but which there is every reason to fear, he was destined time to reach, fur since that moment he has not been either seen or heard of. On the following eve oo oo g, about seven o'clock, the horse of this unfortunate gentleman was found in the river Aire, ■bout 200 yards below Aenaley Mills. The animal appeared much exhausted, and was en. tangled its a sand-hank, from which, apparently, it had made many finillcs• • Grim to extricate itself: with some difficulty it was dragged ashore. The finding of the horse, of course, excited the most painful appreleusiuns for the fate of Mr. Sellers, and the river has been carefully dragged for a cue,- aidershle distance. both above and below the place where the horse wa► fumy/. but hitherto without any result which can remove in any degree the agonizing anxiety of ins friend/I. f Leeds Mercury.)

Cross-examined.—He had seen the deceased write, the last time he taw him write Was about is fortnight before his decease. The Men now and then took a glass, and that might at times alter the character of hit writing. Baron GRAHAM here addressed Mr. Gurney, aiiil rtilunith d tol whether, after what had been already disclosed in evidence, it was proper this proisecutliot should go on. It now appeared that the patties wrote(' iii the prosecution had actually cir c l e d a sum of 1,000/. to induce the Prisoners to relin quish their clams for 1,500/. en the asserted will tit the deceased. This the attorney for the Pro. souicrs had rtfosed, hut proposed to take 1,250/. sootier than be driven to the delay and expense of His ecclesiastical suit. Under such circumstances. could a criminal charge be conducted, while the parties now prosecuting were, in failure of a COlll.. pronntie. tasking steps in the Ecclesiastical Court? The offer of money to the Prisoners' a norm. y, its the manner stated, gate a new complexion to the case. Gt:itriET said, that, in all cases he conduct. rd, hr considered blamelf us much prosecuting h.r the benefit of public justice, us for the immediate individual who had instructed him. After the in timation now given from the Bench, hr would desist (rout pursuing this trial. The otirr of the money was certainly (as he had heard) made by Prosecutor, who was an infirm man, of snore thun7,i years of age, and of course most asixions to deter mule the matter with the least possible delay, a s 4 good deal of property was determinable by the Mr. Justice BAYLEY-.." In this case there is evidently an the one side and the other a large pe cuniary interret, which in all criminal cases it Os most desirable to see in the first instance removed, if possible." Mr. Baron GRAHAM remarked, that it was much, better to stop the care in this stage, than to g.* through a long courpe of evidence, which would leave the objection to the prosecution in this stage untouched. Mr. GURNEY said, he bowed to the intimation of the Court. The Jury then, under the direction or Mr. Aa ron GRAHAM, Acquitted the Prisoners. As the offence was, by a second indictment, laid to have been committed in London, as welt a% Miii dlwrx, the parties were under the necessity of re maining in custody to receive a Verdict (of rollriNt• of acquittal, as nu prosecution %%us iiitehileil) bola the Loudon Jury.
