Daun - v -LAN r: The dramatic' novelty of last night at this Theatre; was a new musical piece, in three acts, entitled Justice.; or, The Caliph and the Cobbler.—lt is a mixture of the moral, the pathetic, and the ludicrous, and the compound, on the whole, is very well calculated to suit the public palate. A poor Cobbler, without friends, and disowned by his relations, is exalted by the Caliph into the rank of Grand Vizier. He is then worshipped by Grandees, and relations swarm round him, the former with presents, and the latter with petitions. The Caliph then deprives him of his rank, and he fails immediately into disgrace, neglect, and contempt. The presents are demanded back, but the Caliph, whb had observed all in disguise, confirms the Cobbler in possession of all these tributes of servi lity, and renews his protection of the honest fellow. There is another plot relating to the imprisonment of a Merchant unjustly,the affection of his son, and the pious resolution of the latter to sell himself, in order to purchase his father's freedom.—The Caliph, who has diligently watched over the whole, administers justice to the guilty and im parts his generosity to all the meritorious cha racters. This Drama, though not vigorous or poetical in any prominent degree, or abounding in any remarkable novelty, is moral, affecting, and entertaining. The Caliph (CoopEa) is the cele brated Liaroun .21 Iraschid, the delight of our earlier years. Kalid the cobler (HARLEY) is a whimsical character, such as might be expected to be chosen for the moral purposes of .the Caliph. Upon the whole, the piece is entitled to the fa vour which it experienced, but it will admit of much curtailment. It is brought forward with great magnific.Snce, and is admirably supported by the Performers in general, but particularly by COOPER, WALLACK, Mrs. EGERTON, Madame VESTRIS, and Miss KELLY. The piece is also supported by some pleasing music and some humorous songs. The part assigned to WA L LACK was Abdallah, the virtuous son, and he rendered it powerfully operative on the feelings. COOPER alSo gave a moral dignity to the Caliph that was highly characteristic and impressive.— The Prologue was spoken by BARNARD, and the Epilogue by Miss KELLY, and as we have in serted both this day, we leave our Readers to decide upon their poetical merits. P R I. 0 G E SPOKEN BY MR. BARNARD. While troops embattled yet restrain their rage, And anxious wait the signal to engage; Experienced Generals bid, before the brunt, Some light-arm'd body skirmish in the front ; To prove what stop the army before then: cumbers, To try their temper and report their numbers. The Drama's " forlorn hope" is Prologue's task: Thus, ere our curtain'd-battery we unmask, I come some straggling shots of rhyme to fire, Receive your answering volley, and retire. To pass my venturous office safe and well, What shall I say that Prologue ought to tell ? Wish you to learn our Author's name ? If so, Applaud his piece, and you'll be sure to knew. ‘N'ould you, your pity I should seek to gain In the poor Authors' old and hackneyed strain? No ; truth, not favour, a true Briton's trust is, To beg your mercy is to doubt your justice. wish 'you the ground work of our piece? We draw From eastern clinics, where tyrants will is law. Yet there wr smile to read, how Haroun's zeal Watch'd with unceasing toil his people's weal ; Fueling for slaves, to learn, that justice finds Sometimes a welcome e'en in despots' :minds. My fire is spent, and glad with strengthen'd nerve, I go to take my post in the reserve; The field is clear, the gods above look gay, " Our forces stand full fait ly for the day." EPILOGUE SPOKEN BY MISS KELLY. TO all who never in the task engage, How easy seems composing, for the stage, " A plot with interest," oft you hear them say, " Some pretty songs, some dialogue that's gay, Some scenery, puns, rants, clap-traps, there's a play." , Rot ask of those who seek dramatic glory, They tell—for you tell them—a different story, Not o'er the writer's lonely toil I pause. There all he writes is sure to meet applause. There scenes raise tears, which you will grin at after, There many a joke excites the only laughter. " ' There dotes he still with pleasure undiminished, With glee unbounded till his work is finished; " Broods like a cheated hen, when lionsev:ives win it, " ' To sit upon a clod, and think there'' life within it. " So far 'tis pleasure —soon his pains Ir:crease, The bowing manager receives the piece. Obliged, expects much pleasure in the reading, Tells in a week what chance of its succeeding, Reads, yawns, put by, and hopes the cooling poet, NVill guess his judgm.:ot, and not ask to know it ; Meantime what hope or fear the author thrills, Watching each morn, the newspapers and hills, And should a farce (in farce all younkers burst, Not to attempt to do much at first) Should a new farce the play bills underline, He proudly goes and tells his friends. " that's mins ?" And tho' the title does not quite apply, Settles they've chang'd it, tbs.' he can't tell why It thrivvs,---" how hard 't wasn't mine," his loud complai Its damned, oh then he's very glad it an't. At length demands an answer as his due, And gets the unwilling truth—" your piece won't do." Alt I happier oft is he than those preferred ; The wisest managers bare.often erred. Oft are you told what genius they neglect, You know yourselves what dunces they protect, Suppose the piece received for presentation, But still just needs a little alteration. - " Cut all this scene out ! "—This !—the best I've penned " Short en the whole, and then we recommend You'd change the opening, and just r4t WI it c the end." At !row h all's .fixed, nor tear of more reversals, And then comes all the pleasures of reheatsals. " Sir, don't you think this conversation long here ?" " I want a joke, and 1 must have a SOll here." " Sir, it's well known, I don't love running riot, But if I speak this speech I'll be"---" he quiet. The prompter calls—and bids the stage be clear, Then some sly actress gains the author's ear. I'r'e r e a d this part, !sir, and with ears looked thro* it Now I don't mean to say that I won't do it ; I said I would, and will if yon persist— But it's so trifling, I slualld not be missed ; You ser't yourself."—" See't, Ma'am ! that I deny, Because I alwayi had you in my eye. But to make tip for what you think so weak, We'll give you, Ma'am, the Epilogue to speak; Then shall your favour for any faults atone, And all th' applause be for yourself alone." rhe lines between treble inverted commas are omit in speaking.

Upon the notification of her MAJESTY'S inten tion to attend St. Paul's Cathedral, and the sub sequent. Resolutions of the Court of Common ,Council, a Committee of the Corporation was ap pointed to confer with the Dean and Chapter upon the mode of ordering and conducting the necessary arrangements, and to take the proper steps for preserving the peace of the City. The Committee were accordingly introduced to Dr. Hughes, the Dean himself being from town. They were received with every mark of politeness and respect by the Rev. Doctor, but it was soon discoverable that his authority was exceedingly limited, and controlled by the higher powers, by whose orders, it should seem, he was restrained from agreeing to any one - of the essential regulatio►►s or arrangements the Com- mittee proposed.. It was the wish of the Committee, that the admission to the Cathedral should be by tickets only ; but though this arrangement is generally adopted upon all public occasions at the Cati►e dral, Dr. Hughes's instructions on this head were peremptory, that the doors should be thrown open as upon ordinary occasions ; yet, notwith standino• this utter neglect of all proper precau tion, the Committee were given to understand, that the Lord Mayor and Corporation would be looked to as responsible for any injury the Ca- thedral ►night sustain. The Committee, with the Lord Mayor at their head, urged the utter impossibility of securing order and tranquillity, if this determination was adhered to ; that the indiscriminate admission of all intruders upon such an occasion, was not only highly indecorous and improper, but calculated to insure and promote the confusion, professed to be dreaded, and declared, that under such cir cumstances, they would not be responsible for any consequences that might occur. After much discussion, it was at length agreed that every member of the Corporation should have a ticket of admission for himself and one other person ; that the members of the Com mittee, about thirty in number, should be allow ed two tickets each ; and that WOO respectable householders, sworn in as special constables, should be admitted into the Cathedral for the purpose of forming a line to keep off the crowd, and preserve a clear passage for her Majesty to proceed to the seat prepa l ted for her. The re gular notices were accordingly issued, inviting the citizens to enrol themselves as special con- stables for the Occasion ; and Mr. Aldenflan Wood attended at the Guildhall yesterday, for the pur pose of swearing them in. At a subsequent interview with Dr. Hughes, which took place yesterday morning, fresh diffi culties arose ; the permission of an extra ticket to the members of the Committee was revoked, and it was intimated that the Committee would not be suffered to appear with wands, as it was the wish of the Dean and Chapter that there should be nothing like a procession. Several re spectable Ladies, to the number of 170, were desirous of being permitted to receive her Ma jesty from her entry into the Cathedral, but the proposition was immediately objected to by the representative of the Dean, as wholly improper and inadmissible. _ _ The use of wands was strongly contended for by the Committee, as proper and necessary marks of authority, without which it was hopeless for them to attempt to regulate a body of 2,000 con stables, who would, have no means of knowing to whose directions they were to conform. The attendance of respectable females upon such an occasion, and for thb purpose proposed, it was observed, must be most gratifying to her Majes ty, and under proper arrangements, could be productive of no confusion or disorder. In vain, however, was all argument or obser vation on the part of the Committee ; the Reverend Doctor had received his instructions, from which it was evident he had no autho rity to depart ; and at the breaking up of the conference, it was the general understanding, that the Lord Mayor and the Committee, finding all their efforts to effect a proper arrangement useless, would relinquish all responsibility with regard to the internal arrangements of the Cathe dral, and direct their attention solely to the pre vious attendance on her Majesty, and the preser vation of the peace during her entry and return through the City. The Committee met again in the evening at the Guildhall; the Lord Mayor and Dr. Hughes were present, but at ten o'clock, when they broke up, no essential alteration had been obtained, except the permission to the Committee to use wands, upon their assurance that they should be used to preserve the peace, and not in any cere- monial. Dr. Hughes expressed every willingness on his part to accede to the wishes of the Committee ; but frankly confessed he was acting under higher powers than the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's.— (Morning Paper.)

Yesterday four Gentlemen presented them selves to Sir RonEwr BAKERY one of them. ad dressed the Magistrate, and requested to know. if he had made any arrangements respecting the Queen's going to St. Paul's Cathedral this day, &c.? Sir Robert Baker replied, that he had made no arrangements, except ordering some constables out to keep the peace. The Gentlemen then stated to Sir Robert Baker some particulars respecting the procession that is to proceed with the Queen this day, and requested to know where the constables were to be found which Sir Robert had ordered out' Sir Robert Baker informed him that the dif ferent parties of constables he had ordered out were to be stationed at Hyde Park-corner, the Gloucester Coffee-house, the Golden Cross, Charing-cross, Holyland's Coffee-house, near Somerset-house, and Temple-bar.—The Gentle man expressed himself satisfied with that arrange ment. Sir Robert Baker asked whom he had the ho nour of speaking to ? and the Gentleman replied, Sir Gerard Noel. One of the other Gentlemen then wrote down the stations of the constables which Sir Robes t Baker had appointed, and asked Sir Robert if any Magistrates or constables would attend at ti►e Broadway, Hammersmith, as it was expected a great number of persons would be assembled there ? Sir Robert Baker replied, he had nothing to do with that part, and did not interfere in parish business. REMARKABLE. PRESEBYATION.-011 Wednes day last, as two men were looking into a chalk well, near Doddington, they were alarmed by the sound of a human voice issuing from it; they immediately procured a ladder and descended, when to their great surprize, they found a young woman, in a state of excessive exhaustion, she having been in this deplorable situation sixteen days, without any other support than a small quantity of water, which occasionally dripped into the well. She stated that proceeding home ward on Monday, the 6th instant, she fell into this well, which had been left uncovered ; that during her agonizing confinement, she had repeat edly heard the voices and whistling of plough men and of persons passing that way , v but could not make her own voice reach them, being at a distance of nearly forty feet below the surface of the earth. She had endeavoured to form steps by raising peices of chalk, but they had constantly given way, thus increasing her despair at every disappointment. We are happy to add that she received very little injury from her fall, and is DOW recovering the effects of her fear and fasting. —(,Maidstone Journat, Nov. 28.) PRESENCE OF MIND.—On last Thursday week, as Mr. Evelyn, of Sheerness, who had been to the Globe Tavern, Chatham, where he received between three and four hundred pounds, was, pro ceeding to Gillingham in the evening, he was stopped in a field beyond the Lines by two men; one of them came towards him and said " give me your money, or"—" what ?" said Mr. Eve lyn, interrupting him, " why, man, I am upon the same business ; there is a person coming from Chatham who, I know has received a large Ru i n of money, and if you like to join me we will attack him together." The proposal was immediately acceded to and the party loitered about for some time, till Mr. Evelya suggested that they might be observed if they remained much longer in the open place where they then were, and proposed that they should proceed to a field near Gillingham, in which there are two paths, one lead ing to the Church, and the other to the middle of Gillingham-street, and that to escape notice they should separate, but that they should keep near enough mutually to assist one another. This arrangement they all fell in with, and Mr. E. having got rid of one of the troublesome companions, gave the other the slip, effected his escape, and saved his money. The frequenters of the . Theatre of Naples are not satisfied, it appears, with the pieces and the actors which are daily brought forward for their amusement. They at first murmured, afterwards they hissed, but neither their murmurs nor their hisses were effectual in accomplishing thca changes which they desired. At last they deter mined on adopting another mode of expres3ing themselves; at the moment when the play was about to begin, all the spectators turned their backs on the comedians,and commenced a genera 1 conversation, quite at their ease, as if they were assembled- iii a public square or a coffee-room.- - (Paris Paper.) •, Another Twenty Thousand Pounds:Pri f le Bola by Disx.—Yeslerday the State Lottery-linished drawing, when No. 31-19, was drawn a Prize of 10501.
