THE . THEATRES:. Kl r m G'S 1 REATRE.—Last night a Masquerade took place at this Theatre, which was extremely Well attended. The Pit was boarded over, for .the purpose, on a level with the stage, and formed an extensive field for the numerous characters to exhibit, their powers of acting. The whole of the Theatre was brilliantly illuminated, and, at the extremity of the stage, the letters " G.lt." surmounted by a crown, the whole of which was formed with lamps, gave a goand effect to Coup (Pwit. The characters principally consisted of soldiers, sailors, lawyers, Jews,. Friars, Turks, Armenians, and some from the borders of Mesopotamia.. In the early past-of 'the even ing, a Concert was performed by amateurs, which afforded great amusement and delight to an admiring and perpetually moving audience.— With respect to the supporting of the characters, with few exceptions, much cannot be said, though the dresses were very appropriate, gene rally speaking.—The supper was excellent, and the wines much better than those 'which are ge nerally supplied for public entertainments of that nature. A military band attended 4 which played during the night waltzes, quadrilles, country-dances, &c. The rooms were exceed ingly crowded, and hilarity and good humour seemed to be the order of the night, which was materially owing to the Directors, who indeed left nothing undone which could possibly con tribute to the entertainment of the evening. It is announced that the Masquerade last ntght was to be the last for this season. MAYMAlOCLT.—Strcethearts and Wives is so attractive a title of the new comic Opera, that it is numerously attended every night, and the general merit of the performance is likely to confirm and increase its ,popularity. It was pieceded last night by The Padlock, which was rendered very amusing by the Leonora of Miss PATON, the Leander of Miss LOVE, and the Mango of Mr. WEST. ENGLAII OPERA HOUSE:—MISS TioUISA DANCE and Mr. It.tylica made their second appear auces last night as Maria Darlington and Fixture, in Mon roe's whimsical Farce of A Roland for an Oliver, and were received with the highest applause.—Miss KELLY'S inimitable acting as the Sleep-Walker, in Love's Dream, delighted a numerous audience with its intense interest.-- Gordon the Glipsry concluded the evening's en tertainments. The Theatre was crowded to-the ceiling ; and we apprehend that the prcprietor has never had so brilliaut' a commencement of a season. .The Winter Theatres having closed, the his trionic stars are in rapid transit to the remotest limits of their respective - orbits. KEAN, we un- , derstaud, performed last Tuesday at Guildford ; was to proceed the next day to Swansea, and thence to Liverpool. Miss F. -IL,KELLy takei a northern direction, and:is now playing at Liverpool. This interest ing and promising young lady appears, during our theatrical interregnum„at Edinburgh, Glas gow, and Aberdeen. Miss Tan; made her first appearance at the Dubliu.Theatre in the character of Adela in the Haunted Tower.—Most of her songs were en . cored. Air. BaAn Am played his favourite cha racter of Lord 11 7 1iliam.

The Noble Duchess constantly resides with his Grace at `Woburn A bbey. The numerous and atrocious attempts that have o f l ate b een ma d e to extort mone y, f rom p erso ns of a warneletis and irreproachable character, have led to an itnper.. Sant and salutary amendment of the law on this Subject. At law extortion by infamous threats has always been regarded as SO atrocious and infamous a crime, that . persons convicted of l'biaining money by charging persons with infamous and • nameless crimes, have invariably been subjected to the punish_ luent of death. Still the law was glaringly defective in not Providing an adequate punishment in cases where the oilender *as detected in Me attempt, and before the person accused had parted with his money. To obviate this defect, an Act has lust passed, which declares that every person accusing another 4)f any infamous crime with Me view or 'intent to extort money, ,ahall be deemed.guilty of felony, and be transported for life..., I Vi have thus early made the public acqttainted with this im. Portant . and salutary amendment of the law, in order that miltmders of the above character may be visited with the cum. Thiry punishment so foul it crime merits. DUET. PIiEVENTED.—A meeting was to have taken place yesterday morning, in Battersea 'Fkidst ill consequence of a dispute at Vauxhall An the preceding night. The parties were a Mr. and a Mr. S--, both holding situations 4 f,trust. Some constables were in attendance, but they were baffled by the parties not appear ing on the ground, from some information having be en given. An exchange of blows passed on the return of the parties on the.night of dispute, but a Gentleman. interfered and prevented the continuance Of what he conceived to be an un equal combat, one of the Gentlemen being Much larger and stronger than the other. SIIOCKING ACCIDENT.--Yesterdqy morning distressing accident occurred near the corner of Magdalen. !greet, in Tooley.street : A child, two years old, named Ann Humphries, in the momentary absence of its mother, attempting to run across the street, in pursuit of another child, came against Cart heavily laden, and fell under the oftwheel, which passed 0 11 r both its arms.

Wm. Smyth, M.A., of Brseuno*e College, Oxford.—Patvon, Lord Glastonbury. There is at present residing in Brighton, a Lady of great beauty and accomplishments, possessed of a quality which puts out of all distance the fame of the ce lebrated Mr. Daublettings.. This extraordinary and singu lar faculty arises frqm a peculiar formation of the tongue, which is separated to the root, in a . longitudinal direction, and actually forms a doubk tongue. Not the slightest incon venience is felt from this exuberant gift al nature. With this desirable and admirable addition to the organ of domestic com- Art, this lady is enabled to afford entertainment to her friends beyond the power of any ventriloquist, or indeed of conception. Front the personal charms she possesses, as well as a highly endowed mind; she has had many suitors, none of whom have retired from paying homage, owing to the ef fects of the extra clapper hung in this enchanting belle. She possesses two voices : one exceedingly clear, sweet, and harmo nious, _allowing her to sing with great effect : the other so ex quisitely thrilling, that it must have been bestowed on her for no other purpose than to lisp the still small voice of love. With this voice she imitates exactly the notes of many birds, piping like a bullfinch, singing as a canary : what is most reinarksblo, her mother was deaf and dumb.--(Brightoa paper.) . • POE-TRY• CONSOLA-TION.

Some of the good people of Ilorsham were amusing themselves by playing at cricket at the time. the balloon was first observed, but su c h was the novelty of the sight, that bats, halls, stumps, and even the landlord's booth, wer e de serted to see what had descended, and 100 per sons, consisting of men, women, and child ren , as sembled within the space of ten minutes.

Our. readers may recollect, that in the descrip. tion we gave some three months ago or the lid of the granite Sarcophagu;, presented to the Fitzwilliam Museum. by Mr. Belzoni, we alluded to the perilous, jounce which that enter? prising traveller was about to undertake. We have lately been favoured with ail:extract from a letter of his., dated the sth . of May, at Fez, the capital of Morocco, to a Gentleman in this University. We are happy to find, that Mr. Belzoni has . commenced his undertaking with favour a ble aus pi ces , an d we most sincerely hope that. he may be enabled to accomplish his plan of traversing the great breadth of Africa. If he should succeed in this Herculean task, Nec vem Alcides finturo telluris obivit," he will leave the labours, of ell former travellers at an immea surable distance. We understand that his design is tirbt to reach Tiuilinetoo. and' NM thence continue his route through the heart of Africa to Sennaar. •He will then pass through Nubia, and arrive once more in the huul of Egypt, the scene of his memorable discoveries. The following is the extract which we have been permitted to copy thc•short letter .1 wrote to you from Tangier, dated the 10th of April, I informed you that I had gain ;4.1 pat m ission from his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco, to enter his country as, far as Pez, and that I had great hopes of obtaining his permis sion to penetrate further south. It stated also', uotwithstanti.: ing the great , charges upon my purse, unsupporte,l as I am, and relying entirely on my own resources, that nothing should be left undone befirre I quitted niy attempt. I have now great pleasure in acquainting you, my dear. friend, of . my safe arrival at Fez, after having been detained. at Tangier till a letter had been forwarded trom Mr. Douglas, Britannic Majesty's Consul at Tangier, to the Minister at Fez, to obtain permission from the Emperor for me to approach his capital. As soon as a favourable answer was received, we started for this place, and in ten days arrived here in safety with my better half, who, having succeeded in persuading me to take her as far as Tangier, has also enforced her, influence to proceed to Fez t but this, though much against her will, must he her" NW: lA* ultra." esterday I had the honour to he presented to his Majesty the Emperor, and was highly gratified with his reception of me. He. was acquainted that I had letters of introduction from Mr. Wilmot to the Con sul in Tangier, frOm Whom I received indeed the greatest hoapitality?, and who did all 'in his power t o p romote rn Y wishes. The fortunate circumstance of my having known the . Prime Minister of his Majesty, whilst in Cairo, on his return 'iron Mecca to this country, is also midi in my fa vour; and though a great deal has been said against my project by the commercial party, particularly from the Jews of this country, who monopolize all the traffic of the in terior, ; obtained his Majesty's permission to join the caravan, which will set out for I:lmbucton, within one month. If nothing should happen, and if promises are kept, I shall from this place cross the mountain s of A t l as to T a fl et , where . we shall join other parties from' various quarters, and, ; from thence, with the help of God, we shall enter the great r Sahara to Timbuctoo. 'Should I succeed in my attempt, I shall add another ' votive ,akt' to the Temple of I;'oetune ; and if, on the contrary, my project should fail, one mare name will be added to the many others which have fallen into the River of Oblivion. Mrs. Behold will remain at Fez till she hears of my departure from. !fetid, which place is eighteen or twenty day r s' Journey from hence 6 , and as SQOII as that fact is ascer. tained she will return to England." We shall look forward with much anxiety to the future ac counts which may arrive from this indefatigable traveller, and if success can be expected in so difficult and dangerous a pre.. jeet, we may fairly say that it wip attend upon one who is in every respect most qualified for the attempt. 11 Pallet is ti4o macs south of Pez..--f Cambridge Chronicle. ) A mysterious circumstance occur re d i n t h e .
