Mr. Greville attended as Clark of the Council.. and good sense, that she: cannot fail decidedly, eve, in her worst characters, while in her best she makes a strong; and permanent impression. Her Juliet was ten der, graceful, artless ; gentle, yet a heroine ; full of generous enthusiasm, and that perfect abandonment of self, in the anxiety to .promote anothe r , s happi nesS and conciliate his good-will, which man may talk about, but which woman only can feel. That the character was not strictly 'according to Shak speare is, perhaps, rather in its favour, since if - it were, it would outrage our notions of decorum, which are rather tool/him and strait-laced (though quite sufficiently relaxed upon occasions, notwith standing our favourite boast of English morality,) for the looser atmosphere of Ansonia. In a word, Miss Fitatmis's Juliet is the best we have seen— with the exception of Miss F. H. KELLY, whir--h it nearly equals—since the days of Miss O'NEIL. Mr. COOPER'S Romeo, which reaches a depth ofabsurdity that imagination itself can scarcely fathom, was unique of its kind. This singularly gifted gentleman swaggered across the stage with the clumsy tread of a ticket porter from the India House, and made love like a coal heaver. Not one spark of delicacy—of good taste —of youthful adventure—scarcely even of continon sense—graced this superlatively absurd performance; it was•dreary, lifeless, and monotonous, and quick ened every now and then into a sort of heav'y lum bering passion, like the waters of a Dutch canal, when stirred into lazy action by the wind. We realty wonder how Juliet could look and love when such a freezing " sweetheart" stood beside her ! But Mr. COOPER has no doubt played Romeo for the last time.

Mr. KEAN'S Virginias attracted a full bat not a crowded, and very far indeed from a select house here last night. The circumstance of its being an attempt to supersede MACREADY, in this his most favourite character, greatly enhanced the interest of the occasion, and when KEAN first came forward he was welcomed with as hearty and vociferous a burst of applause as we have heard for some years.' It was soon, however, apparent that, the KEAN of the present day is pot the KEAN of former times. He has become ,spiritlesi, unimpassioned, ingifferent ; the fire of his genius no longer bursts forth in a' blaze; it is a mere scintillation, an occasional fitful glimmering. Last night in one or two places be gave straggling evidences 'of his former power; but even such slight exertions seemed almost too mach for him. The character of his t irgining was tenderness and pathos; it was altogether a subdued performance, deficient. in dignity, physical energies, and substance. The conception was shadowy, eva nescent, and, to one who sate at a distance from the stage, must have appeared unintelligible. The plain truth is, KEAN now acts only for the four or five front tows.of the pit, and thefew boxes that are within a rational distance from the boards. To those who were seated in this enviable neighbour. hood, there were certain delicate points about his Virginius of last night that could not fail to have attracted admiration; such, for instance, as his ap peal to Appius, where emotion compels him to stop short in his utterance, and more especially his first interview with Virginia, after hi► return from the camp. But perhaps the finest thing that KEAN did last night, and the one which was the most im perceptible to the majority of the audience, from the Causes assigned above, was the dull, heavy, lustreless expression which he threw into his eye, when, with one hand placed on his head, and the other seareh ing about us if for his daughter, he complains of the heavy weight upon his brow. It was the finest comment on insanity just before a paroxysm takes place, we have ever seen, and fully realizes what we once saw ourselves at Bedlam. His approach to Appius, too, .with uplifted arms (a favourite action in which the mad Orestes of Euripides luxuriates), was wildly maniacal,—we have rarely seen it equalled. Altogether, as compared with MAC READY'S, KEAN'S Virginius must be pronounced a failure, if not to the few, certainly to the many. Its excellencies are of a refined ar►d subtle character ; whereas these of MACREADY are bold, palpable, and generally intelligible. MA CREADY has more physical animation, KEAN more mind. The one is stiff and harsh, even in his easiest moments; the other easy and unembarrassed even in his most elaborated points. But it must not be forgotten to MACREADY's advantage, that lie is an improving actor ; already he has the materials of a fine tragedian within him, which time only, by diminishing a constitutional irritability, can render mellow, racy, and fit for service. KEAN, on the other hand, has done all lie is ever likely to do. In the public estimation he can gain no new laurels, al though lie may still continue to gratify the discern ing few by his delicate apprehension of the tender lineaments of manhood, and the unequalled powers of mind which he invariably throws into his scorn. Of KEMBLE's Icilius, we may speak in terms of unqualified praise. He astonished the audience, and, what is still more amusing, he asto-. ailed himself. Miss JARMAN'S Virginia, excepting that it was no more like Virginia than it was like Mrs. Malaprop, was passable. It was, in fact, so shre%vd, so knowing, that the praises of Virginius ou his daughter's simplicity, sounded like irony, even when unaccompanied " by, that horrid tasteless chuckle—the very incarnation of vulgarity---in which Mr. KEAN so repeatedly indulged. Mr.' BARTLEY made a very fat Dentalus; his circumfe rence was any thing but cynical; and his round good-humoured faCe gave the lie direct to his sar casm. '1 he remaining characters were sustained with the usual respectability. It is colificlently.reported that Mr. Goulburn will retire from the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Mr. Peol has addressed a letter to the Lord Mayor, which is to undergo consideration in the Court of Aldermen this C lay. n o Circular to the Members of the Court contains tlr, tollowing N. 8.: " To consider a Letter addressed to • the Lord Mayor from the Secretary of State for the Home • Department, relative to the Gaol of Newgat,,, It is. very seldom that we hear of the interference of a Secretary of State with the Magistrates of the City. of London. The latter have conducted them selves, with respect to the City Prisons, as if there wete no control!' over those places, except that which they exercise ; - a.- strange neglect has been sown by their Worships whenever any application has been made to them as to the necessity for classi fying the unfortunate prisoner's in the princiral felons' prison in Eitgland, although the necessity has been in 1 every Gaol Report strongly urged, and it has been the endeavour of all the County Magistrates to establish a • elaasificatiou to the -extent suggested. Ia several prisons this indispensable object has been attained in such a manner as to draw down the approbation of Committees of the Houses of Parliament. Newgate, however, remains without the slightest improvement in this respect, and a " •leath-like silence" prevails within the walls of that prison, as to the condition of the inmates. This is a bad omen. The only ground upon which those who are in daily intercourse with the prisoners can act, in " sealing their lips," must be the order of the Alderman or the Secretary of State. That Mr. Peel should give such a direction is extremely im probable, as lie is aware of the great benefits derived from a public exposure of the prison abuses; but that an order of the kind should issue from the Court of Aldermen, we should not be at all surprised, as- it would appear .that that dignified body has al most uniformly disregarded hints to do any thing calculated to proveet the contatninktion of morals amongst youthful delinquents in their gaol. In the returos-made to the Court of Aldermen, it is usually stated that classificatiou has taken place, as far ris'was consistent with the confined. state of the prison.— This, we believe, is.true.; but any. one who looks through Newgree, every solicitor who.. visits New- gate for the purpose of getting up the case of a client, and k not under erdera to observe silence— will declare that the want of classification is the greatiault of that prison; that. the extent of accom modation is so limited that the . mcgt experienced and abandoned robbers are hourly associated with children who have bees just imprisoned for a first offence. Mr. Peel has been • dissatisfied at leng.lr at the returns made by the Court of Aldermen, and has notified to theliord Mayor, in the letter which is to be discussed this day, that if proper classiEca - tion cannot be made in the present state of Newgate, the Court of Aldermen must enlarge it in. such u manner as to admit of such. classification. Notwithstanding the difficulty of obtaining any information. direct from Newgate, axcept that:re specting executions, it has been ascertained by Mr. Peel that the greatest insubordination has for some tirne existed in the prison= insubordination eve►► amounting to, preparations for escape, by intended acts of the most desperate violence. When the 49 convicts under .sentence of death were associated together every day, because it was impossible, in so limited a prison, to stow 510 prisoners without crowding all the daily rooms, the greatest danger was to be apprehended. Some of the most desperate had ac tually laid.a plan of escape, by falling upon the turn keys at the.hour of locking up. They had been heard concerting the mode of attack, and the neces sary measures of prevention were of course imme diately adopted. If resolute conduct had not been resorted to, no doubt the prison would have been a scene of bloodsheli. There was scarcely a man amongst this number of capital convicts, who did not expect to be hanged, and still there was no pos sibility of separating the conspirators—conspirators to save their own lives, anti of course wholly regard less of the consequence of the attempt on the lives of others. The Court of Aldermen knew that this attempt was meditated; they knew, too, that all the pri soners were huddled together in Newgate—they regularly receive a return from the Governor, who, we suppose, regularly represents the necessity of re moving the immense population of the gaol to the places assigned by law fur undergoing its penalties, and still the complaint has remained without the application of a corrective. Newgate remains what it has been long acknowledged to be—the place in which a novice in crime becomes an adept in a mo ment', notwithstanding the frtquent visits of those benevolent persons, who, in the fervour of doing good, "div e i n t o ie lowest recesses of misery, de. pression, and contempt." We believe that the Lord Mayor does not et all regret this startling communieation from Mr. Peel. His Lordship has, if we may judge from the course he has pursued since he reached the Mayoralty, anxiously wished for art immediate reforin of the prissn of Newgate, which has done more in bringing young iniquity to a mature state than the contami nation without the walls has been able "to effect. We rejoice that this important sultieet has been taken up by Mr. Peel, and as the Court of Alder men deserves from him in other respects, we think it necessary to suggest, that the Right Hon. Gentleman will likewise do a great service to the community by talking to their Worships about the debtors' prison in Whitecross-street, to which a new Governor has been appointed without being sup plied with the means of improving its condition one atom. The public have often heard of the insubordina tion existing in that prison, and of the various pro jects for improving it, suggested and discussed amongst the City Magistrates, and yet not u tittle has been done to render the difficulties of " con ducting the affairs" of the prison a more easy task than it has been always known to be. Last week a faithful couple, not a very great e dit fl'ulllKcaysijin moor, were mai ri gi d at Dean Church. About ten utes after the marriage th e b r id e e was delivered of a chopping child ;. and in - about two hours the ceremonies of marriage, birth, anrVbaptism, were pei ,_ formed. —Bolton Chronicle. A knight of the shuttle and a bachelor, not one hundred miles front Edgworth, hit upon the following expedient to obtain possession of a fair dame, whose charms, added to a pretty large stock of gold, had excit e d his love and longing. He obtained access to the lady, and, is gentle whispers and sighs, told her that he had had a dream, wherein it was revealed to hilt' that, if she did not liewme his partner, she would lose her character and reputation, dearer to her than riches ; and, t o eoot i no t he prediction, he ,declared that he had a similar dream before hi* former marriage, and all hail been fulfilled.

A few days since a " pigeon shooting" took place upon Ashton Heath, which we consider unparalleled in the an nals of sporting. A number of kentlernen, qualified sports men, met in the afterruain fir this purpose. It was late before they: could commence their sport, and powder and shot becoming scarce, they could not, unfortunately, shoot at the number of birds proposed. The birds were trapped and had their legs tied ; yet, notwithstanding this, only five birds out of fifteen were killed by five individuals.— Two of the party did not kill a bi r d.— no t a f ea ther was touched-an evident proof that either the powder, shot, or guns were .bad. Not satisfied with the excellent sport they had experienced, the birds taken alive from the heath were reserved for the next day, when the shooters promised' to begin a little earlier, and take plenty of ammunition with them. Accordingly they assembled on that day, and de termining not needlessly to throw away a chance, they tied a string to the legs of one of the pigeons, with pieces of turf fastened at the othei.end. The bird soared slowly and majestically front tlie grown!, allowing th e sportsmen plenty of time to t a ke a i m ; - but all was in vain, for, strange to say, the bird Hew Of uninjured, although fired at twelve times..—Blackburn Mail. -•- MR .

We alluded yesterday to an article in the Constitutionnel, on the extent of mendicity in France, which, it appears, has attained an into lerable height. In the Capital the inconveni ence of the evil has compelled the Authorities to grapple with it ; but, as the Constitutionizel observes, the evil is equally felt throughout. all F ranc e. " There is not a spot which is exempt from this scourge, not a commune, however small, where beneficence is not turned front•ip legitimate course by the solicitations of passen gers, always impostors, and sometimes insolent; ‘ i cv t o e,oi t , s a_ ki observes,aerfik e t, ts or rural meeting; which is not surrounded as it were, and its approaches nown as the obstructs-d, by bands of these vagabonds. • The evil has elementary instruction suffi'.e‘lirFetiihtsel no thing mysteriou s about it. The causes are as y appropriated to the habits and wants of the working popula the want tion ; the want of a good direction for labour; of an diffictilties of the relations and communica tions which should secure the progressive circula tion of ideas." That men who are well edu cated, and have employment within their reach, will not be disposed to beg, may he readily ad mitted ; but when people are very poor and very ignorant, it is not so easy to instruct and find occupation for them, The truth is; that with the exception of the five provinces of the north—the only provinces which Englishmen in general visit, , and from which they are led to form the :moSt erroneotis conclusions re specting the country in general—France is one of the most miserable countries in Europe, hardly better than. Ireland. One of the best French writers on agriculture, wellacquainted with the neighbouring countries, affirms that France, us a whole, occupies only the fifth rank as an agricultural kingdom ; that it is . tiperior to Spain, but greatly inferior to England, Flanders, Holland,'aiitl Germany. " Throughout almost all France, excepting. the north, and a few places in the centre or sonft, the French cultivator has DO idea of a rotation ofsrops, .

One half of France remains uncultivated each year, and the half which is cultivated is . generally wretchedly cultivated for want of out-- lay and manuring. . . There is no com parison between England and France in this respect, and still less with respect to another branch 'of the utmost eonequence—cattle. There are more animals on one acre.in Engliind than on four in France, while the EngliSh cattle 'are greatly superior in quality." The same in. telligent writer observed, that before the Repo.
