hTE iliiksiiiig. IfAistxtumr.--The very amusing Afterpiece of Matrimony, which was originally so well sup ported at Drury-Lane Theatre by Mr..Ews- TON, the late incomparable Mrs. JOR,D.V, and Mr. JOIINSTONC, was last night revived at this Theatre. Mrs. CHATTEItLEY, who now ranks among our best comic actr e sses; gave 'the part of Clara with great spirit and feeling. ViNixo was not less successful in Velaval. Their quarrels and reconciliations were. very diverting, and Were • much applauded. 7 -A Mr. LEE, also, in O'Okghorf,y, was prominent in the piece. The . popular Comedy of Szeeethearis .rind Wives, and the ludicrous . Extravaganza of Killing no Murder, concluded the entertainments. In the two latter piecei LISTON, of coarse; was the . Main prop, but in the last he shared the laurels with Etactsit OPERA HOLISC.—The Farce of rating no Murder was brought forward in an abridged state last night, under the title of A Dag at an Inn.—MAynEws, in the part of Buskin, gave the several variations of charatter With his usual adroitness, precision, and celerity, and received the usual tribute of applause in all his changes. We see no retion,. however, for abridging this whimsical piece, as we conceive that the part of Apolloßelvi might have been safely assigned to AV acxcu, who is detettedly a favourite with the Public, and who doubtless would have brought forward the part with spirit -and humour. Mr. hr Av performinw with great success at Cork. Ile urns generously offered to play one eight for the benefit of the House of Industry in that city. His liberality has long been known, and must excite as much esteem for his aaracter in private life, as admiration for his profes sional talents. It seems that he gave SOU to the subscription for the relief of distress in Ire land. CLIRA FISHER has been performing with great success at Margate, and her benefit of course was Well attended. The young Lady is really a theatrical prodigy, and conducts herself so well ha private life that she totals a Model of filial duly and affection. • Mrs. BUNN, we find, has been re:engaged at Drury-lane Theatre, and is to make her appear ance early in the ensuing season, in the charac ter of Queen Elizabeth, in the Tragedy of Kenil worth. The play, according . to report, is to be brought forward in the most splendid manner. Mr. BUNN, it seems, is appointed the Stage Ma nager of Drury-lane Theatre. CAT.tLANI is in high fame in Dublin, and her attraction is so great that she will make the for tune of the Manager of the Theatre, particularly as, according to report, his Performers in general are possessed 'of considerable talent 4. Among the alterations at Covent-garden Theatre during the recess, we hear that the plan adopted nt Drury-lane, has been transplanted, namely— the alternate rows in the pit are. being fitted With backs; in the dress circle also. the same plan is applied to the respective seats, which are to remain, in other respects, as means are taken to avoid the vacuum in the back ground of the centre boxes, by contracting their depth by two rows of seats. TA LM A the tragic, and DmitAs, the comic actor, at the Theatre Franquis, have expreksed tVeir desire of beComing iliabscribers to the moms.' meat of our modern Ruseitis, 'JOHN KENITiLE, from a liberal feeling that talent. and genliis are of no country.

On opening him the instrument struck upon an impenetrable hard substance in his stomach, Which, upon digging out, they found to be a sixpound cannon ball ! They reasonably accounted for its being i n the stomach of the shark, by supposing it had been attached to a dead body in order to make it sink, and that the voracious animal in swallowing the body had swallowed the shot also.
