Whatever may he thought of the judgment of the - Covent-Garden Managers, it must be ac knoWledged that they are-active in their endear yours to supply the town with novelty. Last night a new ;11elo-drante of two Acts was brought forivardi entitled, For England, This title seemed to imply something of a temporary kind, as England is the abode of peace, while war and its consequetmei are disturbing so many other parts of the world. There was, however, no thing in the fable that wcuild not have been equal ly :ipplicable at any other .scene. lies in trance. The ~tory is funneled upon a duel which talicn„place,between Alfieri, an Italian (S1N•• CLAla,)and fietstein, his commanding of fi cer. .(HA mcturoN), in consequence of their attachment to Miss Arundel (Miss CoottE), in which ifoistein was supposed. to have fallen, anti—/Merl h therefore pliesovd, in order to be brought to punishment. lie had been liberated front prison by Guillaume Ati..av) , a Freiteli soldier, an the latter hind been confined in England, MO ball obtained his freedom by the kindnesl of Miss Arundel, who is attached to iflicri. After .Altieri had escaped many times front nis pursuers, by the assistance of Guillattmeand. his wife,. it appears that tio4tein is not dead, but, with the malice of an enraged ri val. had forged a warrant fur time seizure of Al fieri, and , that he himself it to be brought to a Court-martial .for misconduct. Th e lovers are, of course, made happy, ;and the piece conclndeS.— Th 6 jkaw4tiwtrifle is rfieLtllllMlll4(.l krSarne - Vert pledirng tisusic rrOal liis tcsr, I Ri stz , and Mint - soN, and is besides diversified with a Vintage Me, in which a Mr. Le CLAIR and. Miss irits display ed- great merit as dancers. The piece was very we ll supported by FARLI:Y, INCLEDON.S/NCIAI R , EMEIIY ,S.INIMON3, and N Mrs. H: JOHSTON.—A Master ‘VlLLiams made his first appearance as . a singer. Ft eis very young, but has a powerful voice, and sings with great skill. There ‘vu, one et , sentinl absurdity io the Piece, .for though the officer, wlni pursue Alfieri, always describe ` hint by his /nowt hat and leather, anti bit black cloak, and though they are fretpiently con cealed to prevent discovery, he constantly, resumes them, and. wears them nearly till the conclusion. Thcre are two characters also introduced, which have nothing to do with the main plot,'and one of which, Foddle, (JoNics) is absolutely disgusting by his eflimioacz,:and his senseless omis s i on of :the letter ft in . all ' words thai ret . piire it: . 'The other needless character is Miss Arundel's Innitlen aunt: These characters•were'so w e ll a c ted by JONES•and Mrs. DAVENPORT, • tilitt it is to he regretted that their talents were so unprofitably employed. The author is Mr. Pococx, who has written several suCcessful Farces, and ‘vhose merit ns an Artist Is well kr.o\vo. The Piece was very well received,. but we resolutely advise the , truncation of the Fop dial the Ohl Maid as unpleasing expletives.

COPPER. COINAGE. . . It appearing that much mistipprelfension haw taken place with respect to,; he cooverSal ion e bleb occurred in the Howe of Commons on the 10th inst. on tie subject of the Copper Currency, we have thought i;.4oterial, to inquire lenticular" ) , a l tp• what passed of that occasion, with a view of preventing those inconveniebities which might arise from mistaking the intentions of Govern- Went on this stibject. Mr. GrteNret.t. haVing made sOme obserVations on the ineonveniencies which were produce) in the metropolis, frOm a redundancy of copper coin t ittni . the iptr(“ltiction ,of a ereai number of counterfeit halfpence, and focal or ,vate topper tokens, 'proceeded to state, that tie subject had long since been represented to Got. vernmenr as requiring a remedy, and that be had reason to believe that some proceeding ivuuld.hilve taken place several years.ago, but from an, appre 'tension of the expenec which might h.e incurred by Government in calling in and exchanging the old legal copper coin, without doing which it ap.. veered to be agreed that no elfeetnal -shit' could 'be put to the circulation :of ece.nterfeits. That the evils were now so grenfly inereassel" by the vast number of private tokens lately introduced, ' that he hoped the . coosideration of expellee would no longer deter the Government from.epplving 4 remedy ; and he desired to know frnm the Chan cellor of the. Exchequer whether any steps were likely to be speedily taken on the subject. Mr. VAI'SITTAItT answered, that he had not mud' tb add to what'-he loud, soon lifter the meet jag of Parliament, stated in answer to a question of the same nature, viz, that the subject had been long under the consideration of the Privy Conn ed ; that br hoped that their proceediugs Would be in stifficieat forwardness to enable him to sub mit a measure-to the consideretiop of .Lintliament soon 'after the Christrnas reces§ ; and that he could assure the House, that the cotWdehltion of expence would not deter the Government (what ever importance ought to attach to public eery- , nomy iii the'present circumstances of the country) from attempting to put a stop to practices which be understood to be so injurious to. the public ; that the justice and good faith 'of- the Government were pledged to a redemption nf the legal copper coin at its current rate ; and Malt, ;i 5 soon as me:), sures were sidliciently"prepmed for that purpose, it might he called in, and replaced 1w a :tete ctn.-. rency ; and that he hoped the effect of doing so tvotild be to stop the circulation of any b44g..aTlil counterfeit coin. It appears therefore to be the intention co . (:,- vernment, that all legal eqper coin shall be re ceived at its current value, Mid that consequently no pet Ann can run any risk of loss by rt.,:eiviog. it ; and it is to be observed, that as it i n; i le cur rent by his Majesty's Prochonati .on, Ito person can }Awfully refuse to receive ir, and dila any person so doing is liable to orw.ecation.
