THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANK.—Last night Mr. KEAN retnrne , l to this Theatre in the part of Richard the Third. Though there seemed to be a general expectation in the Public that some disturbance would take place, and though such events are usually attrac tive, yet there was by no meins a crowded house. lie experienced a mingled reception of applause and opposition on his entrance, which was occa sionally renewed, as several passages in the Play were referred to his conduct tow a rd s th e A:stlaor of The Italians. It was evident, however, throuttli the whole of the performance, that his friends out-notlibered his opponeuts. We should have participated in the regret which the Public would have felt if the opposition to this popular Actrir had induced him to relinquish his station on the London Boards, but we must repeat our disap probation of his ill-advised letter, and of the neatment experienced by a Gentlemao of taletits and literature, who had produced a work of dra matic merit, who so modestly asserted his claims, and who so patiently bore his 'disappointments.; and we hope, for their own sake, as well as for the honour of literature, that Actors in general will take warning by the lesson held out to arena on this occasion. COVENT-GARDEN.-The new Opera of The Heart of Mid Lothian, which does not abate in its attraction, was followed last night by a new Farce, entitled A Roland for an Oliuer. The Plot is founded chiefly upon the desire of Sir Mark Owe (FA WCETT), an . old Sporting Baronet, who supposes himself dying, that his nephew George Selby (ABBOTT) shall marry his cousin Maria Darlington (Miss FooTe), aud he sent a letter to the nephew expressive ot his wish. The nephew, however, h,ippened to be married to Fanny Tiverton (Miss BEAumoNT), and the ne cessity ot concealing this circumstance leads to much humorous equivoque and (livening- perplexity, in the course of which the Baronet's house is held forth to those whom it is necessary to deceive as an asylum for inanity —At let g!h the Baronet, by accident, developes the whole imposition, and upon the old maXlin, " thar what is done cannot be undone," assents to 11 , - , cl,indestine marriage, and to the union of Miss Darlington qv] Mr. Highflyer, (JoaTes,) a celebrated dasher of lie Ton. The piece is said to be a traosl ttioo front the French, adapted to the English Stage by Mr. MORTON, to whotn the public are indebted for many dramatic favours. It is very pleasant, though at times a little extravagant, and from its intrinsic merits, and those of the Performers in general, it war received with unanimous approba tion. THE AIARKEIb. CORN-EXCHANGE, Aputt. 30.—We bad very little English Wheat at Market this morning, to co n s equeioce of which, fine samples sold on fell as good terms as on Nionday ; but there was no demand for Foreign Wheat, although it it now certain the Potts will remain closed against im portations from Abroad till An4ust Bar,- yis full 2s. per quarter cheaper, owing to the iru n►ense Foreign arrivals. which completely glut t he Market. Qms are full Is. per quarter lower, the supply from Abroad being very great. In Pease and other articles there is no, alteration. SMITHFIRLD, Arm 30.—Our Market was to ! lerahly well supplieu with prime tattle this day ; the sales in the Beef were large, but prices cheaper than on last Monday. The show of Sheep was good, and a brtskuess in the trade in the early part of the morning, but prices maintained I our last quotations. Veal remains nominal in price. Pork was cheater, but, few sales made of the latter article The business in the Haymarket was dull this morning, and few buyers of that article at Market, and the prices as On Monday.' ' Clover was Steady, amid soil! a , _ - wit' last prices. S P A 11 1{ 1 N G. A tine display of the Art of, Box Trig took place yesterday a< f he Mihor Theatre, Catherine -street, Strand, by particular 6sire, for the purpose of some amateurs having an opportunity of witnessing the performances of Donnelly. the Irish Champion. and Carter Besides those who assembled u see Donnelly, many were led thi -ther to find out the condition of Carter, who fights Spring on Tuesday next. The setting to, as far as it went, was good, and that be tween Carter and Donnelly was the best that has been seen between ►hem. Their heavy hit ting was much avoided by scientific breakings and parries, excepting in one instance, when a crush ing hit was made by Donnelly and countered by Carter. They pulled off the gloves after giving much satisfactinr►. Scroggius and Crawley made a very diverting set-to, and with equal advantage. Scroggins will be at. work with any ctisiomer, and the china or glove men don't like his antics. Crawley ma naged him with much skill and hit him well, but he was always returned upon. Georgee, a black, and young Duggan, had a good bout of it, but the black had rather the worst. Lennox also made a good set-to with a man he bad best of, and the pugilists and their bickers retired to Donnelly's house, in Houghton -street, Clare-market, to mill hecfs,eaks. Oliver and Donnelly met in the theatre, and a match WAS made to light in ten weeks, the money to be staked and made good alternately at Don frirnirs, in Houghton-street, and at Oliver's, next week. VELOCITY is the fashionable mania of the pre sent day. We walk with a " velocipede," are whirled along in a " light post coach," or run into a fortune " in bye minutes" by a successful srculat ton, in purchasing 'lwo Prizes of 20,0001. tivtnci must be drawn in that short space of time on the 11th of May.

PO ETR Y. SONNET TO THE EARL OF COVENTRY. BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ. No more to view the glorious Orb of Day,* Ah ! CovENTRY, the fate of MELTON thine! Yet not, like him, in sorrow dust thou pine, nesignid pith firmness, with discretion gay; Like him hast thou b e held the Dawning flay, The glowing Zenith, and the mild Decline, Directing MAN to trace the source benign, And grateful homage from reficdion pa►y. Then, while thy mental vision, dear and bright, Can Human Life through all its maze explore, By IVisrlarn guided with internal light, And metu'ry shall rdtain thy classic store How poor, my Noble Friend, mere outward sight To Thee-, whose mind tai noblest heights can soar. *The World is well arqnainted wit the misfortune which betel this Nobleman many years ago, but not equally so with the uniform fortitude and resignation with which he has always borne it.

Meeting of Noble.men and Gen tlemen wa s held at the British Hotel, Cock spur street, with a view to the erection of a National Monument, in the Metropolis of Scotland, to commemorate the achie , ements of Scottish valour in the laic navA and military war. The idea of erecrint: this monument originated first wi;h the Members of the Highlend Society, and they applied to Government some time hack with a view, to procure, for this purpose, a part of the grant then about to be matte by l'arliament for the erection of a Monument in London. The application, communica , ed to Government through his Grace the Duke of Bucclengh, not suc ceed, as the grant was to be confined to the Mctropolii. The Committee of the Highland Society being disappointed in this view, a - Alveting was called at Edinburgh on the 24th of February last, for the same laudable pori,,,se, and subscriptions ob tained to the amount of 6,2151. The Meeting held Yesterday was dkected to the g ame en d. His Grace the Duke of ATnot. being called to the Ch:iir, a siring of Resolutions was agreed to, nearly the same in substance as those resolved upon at the Edinburgh Meeting in February, namely, that the late victories, in Which the va lour of Scotelituen was so conspicuously display ed, should he commemorated in the Metropnlis Scotland, by an appropriate Memorial ; that for this purpose a monumental edifice shonid be erect ed, comprehending, if the funds admitted of it, a Church, destined to the purpose of Divine Wor ship; that the services of the Army in India should be commemorated in the proposed monument ; that a subscription should be opened for the above purpose, and ail subscriptions not less than I/. Is. received ; and that a Committee should be ap pointed to forward the objects of the Meeting. These Resolutions being agreed to, thanks were voted to his Grace the Duke (tf Athol, for the zeal with which he supported and forwarded every thing connected with the interest or honour of Scotland. The Meeting was not very numerous, but in the highest degree respectable. Among the persons present were, the Earl of Roseberry, Mr. W. Dirndl's, Lord Bannatyne, Sir John Sinclair, Mr. Finley, &c. &c. The Resolutions are to be transmitted to India, where a large subscription is expected. The Sectetary, Mr. Linning, after n very neat and appropriate speech, informed the Meeting, that he had received from the Marquess of Mint. ly, the Earl of Montrose, and Mr. C. Forbes, a subscription of 1001. each. Yesterday at halt -past two o'clock, the PER SIAN AMBASSADOR, accompanied by Sir GORE OUSLEY, and Mr.Wit.Locr.,his Secretary, mount ed upon three of the Persian horses, took a ride ihroug Hyde Park.

It was moved by a 11ember, Somer ville be diochargeo from the custody of the Spi"... jeant-at-Arms, w4hout payment of tees. The SPEAR FR stated, that no expences had been incurred in taking him into custody ; and beg:!eft at the same time to say, in order that no might be attached to the servants of tote house, that the Serjeaut-at-Arms had reason to believe Sir M. SoMerville would be in town as early as he could be brought thither by Nlessengeis, and therefore, that he used his discretion in saving the expellees of serving the warrant upon him.— (Hear !)—lt turned out accordingly, that Sir M, Somerville came to town at the lime expected, and was taken into custody. The question now was, that lie be discharged without payment of his fees. The question haying been fiat, the " Noes" seemed to predominate, and the Speaker declared accordingly ; bnt on the question being re peated. the " Noes" became silent, • and the " Ayes" had it. POSTPONEMENT OF THE CATHOLIC QUESTION. Lord CASTLEREAGH, seeing a Bight lion. Geo. in his place, took the opportunity of proposlna the postponement of a motion of which he had given notice. He was aware that no propositi:,n was more important than that to %Odell the ow ice referred ; but in the present state of the country, it was of the utmost importance that the COM.. minces, the lialik Committee aotl Finance Com. mittee, should give their undivided attention to their respective inquiries both to-morrow and Sa turday. He rheretote asked of the Right Ho• Pourable Gentlemen, in name of the Cnimnii tees, that he would have the goodness to postpone his motion till Monday next. - Mr. TiERNEY sug2ested, that if his Right lion. Friend should consent to the request made, it should be understood that !!is Motion should take precedence of all other public business cu Monday. Lord' CASTLEREAGH considered this quite rea sonable, and in the name of his Noble Friend, the Secretary at War, postponed a motion of his which stood for Monday. Mi. GRATTAN then, in tepiditr form, postponed his motion on the Catholic Question to Monday next. Sir CHAtuas BURRRLL male a fewobservations on the cxpence occasioned to the Public by keep ing in tarn the witnesses to be examined as to the l'euryn Bill, beyond Alonday, the day on which they were ordered to attentl. CESSION OF VARGA. Sir CHARLES MoNcx begged to ask the Noble Lord whether there had been any Secret Article in the Treaty of Vienna autholising the cession of Parga Lord CASTLIIREAGH replied in a very low tone of conversation, so that it was impossible to con.; jecture what he said.

Mr. DICKINSON presented a petition from Mr. Mon, Solicitor to Mr. Thomas, praying that, as the present residence of Mrs. Arabella Maria Thomas was unknown, the service of the Order of the Honse on Thomas Turner, her Proctor, and on R. H. Strong, her 'Solicitor, should be considered as good service upon her, attested co pies of that order being left witli both o! them. When the per it ion had been read by the'Clerk, the SPEAKER asked tvhet her the 'louse woold take for granted the facts slated in tie petition regard. ing the changes of residence of Mrs. Thomas, or ‘vbether tt:ey would examine witnesses to prose it at the Bar of the Iliot.;e. After a .tew words from Serjeant Onslow, Mr. Dickinson, and Mr. Croker, itwas agreed that it ‘vonid be more consonant to the dignity of the Flouse to have witnesses examined at its bar, in proof of the facts Mr. Binn Was then called in, and upon exami nation proved the facts mentioned in the petition. Its prayer was then grripted. REGENCY CA`:AL Sir J. GRAHANI then moved, that the report on the Regency Canal Bill should be then taken into further consideration An amendment was then moved by Mr. MANNING that it Should be re-committed.
