DRURY-LANG.- -- The attractive representation of King Lear at this Theatre, was followed last night hy - a new Musical Afterpiece, entitled The Lady and the Deril ! There is no supernatural agency in this piece, notwithstanding its title. The scene lies at Naples, and the plot has suffi cient intricacy to excite strong curiosity, and is sufficiently clear to be perfectly intelligible. The contiguity of two rooms, bet ween which there is a secret passage, covered by tapestry, enables Zephy- Tina (bliss KELLY) to carry on a correspondence with her lover, Capt. ifiid/ore(ELusToN), to leave her letters in his room without his knowing how they came there, and to remove his answers in the same mysterious manner. At length, after she has carried on her secret agency some time, and had escaped without discovery, she is detect ed by the Captain himself. The Lovers are finally happy.—There is much of bustle and spirit in the fable, and neatness and humour in the dialogue. HARLEY has a good character in Jeremy, the Captain's servant. The picce, amusing in itself, was very well supported by the Performers, and, with a little retrenchment, will probably have a run of success. COVENT•GARDRN.—Another of the pieces of the modern terrific School was brought forward last night under the title of Montoni, or The Phantom. The fable is founded upon the murder perpetrated by Montoni (NI AcREADy) of his own brother. His accomplice and d servant, Catatro (YATES). at length betrays him, and the murderer closes his miserable life by suicide. The piece is quite of that horrific cast which is calculated to excite a strong but painful interest. It had good support in the acting, particularly by the efforts of MACRRADY. It was sufficiently well received to promise tolerable success on repetition. ABBOTT, EGERTON, and Miss FOOTE, ably supported their respective cha racters. The Play is partly written in blank verse, and is ascribed to Mr, SHIEL. a great dealer in the manufacture of the terrific Drama. SHIP NEWS. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 3.—Sailed the Agamem non, Surriss, for New South Wales. COWES, MAY 3.—Arrived the Regulus trans port from London, to take in troops for Gibraltar. LERWICK, APRIL 22.—A quantity of timber and part of ti ship have been thrown on shore on the North-west part of the Island of Unsh ; the timber is supposed to he American. LIVRRPOOL, MAY 2.—Arrived the Natchez, WARNOCK, and Ceres, FISHER, from Charleston. THE 11113BONMEN. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BALLINASLOE, APRIL 29. " The number of examples recently made, seem to have had no other effect upon the Ribbonmen, than that , of stimulating them to fresh acts of out rage against the laws of the land, and a persever ance in their nocturnal depredations, particularly in this part of the County of Roscommon, where, no later than the ►►ight of Thursday the 20th instant, an armed banditti attacked the house of a man named Mannion, at Clonulty, in the parish of Moore, and Barony of Athlone, into which they fired several shots, and severely wounded a man named M`Ctre, who lodged in the house, for no other reason than his being a stranger in the country. On the nights of the 16th and 17th instant, armed bandittis of these miscreants attacked the house of a man named Sharp, at a place called Failty, in the same Barony, forcibly broke into it, and compelled him to give them money.—The practice of sending threatening notices to landlords, to deter them from letting ground to any per sons that have not been residents for half a century, and to lower the rents also, pre vails to a great extent in this part of the Coun try ; and I understand that, in the northern part, the diabolical custom of pulling the wool offsheep, has, within the last few days, been resorted to, in two or three instances, in the neighbourhood of Strokestown and Boyle. . " Since writing the above, I understand that Major Wills's Police took into custody one of the Persons concerned in the attack upon Mannion's horse, at Clonulty, as above stated, named Daniel Connell, on the morning after the outrage occurred ; and t also learn, that a man, named Thomas Hagan, charged with the murder of Patrick Cunnane, near Strokestown, on the ......__ _ 19th of March last, was likewise appreliendec by the same active and indefatigable Police, ant committed to Roscommon gaol."—(Correspon dent.) THEATRICALS. — Mrs. BARTLEY performed Ham let at New York, on the 29th of March, for her benefit. BARTLEY performed Polonius, and recit ed the comic tale of ! 4 ' Monsieur Tonson." The entertainments closed with the New Musical Farce of High Notions. HtcHvt . Ay RomsanY.--Tuesday night, about eleven o'clock, as Mr. L. Haynes, of King -street, Borough, was returning home from the Coburg Theatre, he was stopped on the footpath near the Anchor public-house, in the New Cut, by three men, the foremost of whom presented a small brass-barrelled pistol to his breast, and demanded his money. Mr. Haynes was suddenly thrown off his guard by the audacity of the demand made, as it was whilst several persons were passing, and he allowed them, without resistance, to take his watch, seals, &c. and his pocket-book, contain ing a 11. note, and 16s. in silver. The principal robber said they knew him well, and if any noise was made about the job, it would be worse for him ; they then walked away. A private soldier. of the name of Joseph Spurs, belonging to the 46th regiment, at Madras, has confessed, on oath, that he was a principal in the murder of the Marc family, with ‘Villiamson, in 1811. The confession is suspected to he a fabri cation, in order to get his .discharge from the regiment. poEtn Y. LINES, Written in Sight of frallace's Tower, at Cora Lynn, - 113 Y W. WORDSwoRTH, ESQ. Lord of the Vale ! astounding flood I The dullest leaf, in this thick wood, Quakes—conscious of thy power; The cares reply with hollow moan; And vibrates, to its central stone, Yon time-cemented Tower And yet how fair the rural scene 7 For thou, 0 Clyde, bast ever been Beneficent and strong ; Pleased in refreshing dews to. steep The little ti embling flowers that peep Thy shelving rocks among. ' Hence all who love their co►tntry, love To look on thee—delight to rove Where they thy voice can hear; And, to the patriot war►ior's Shade, Lord of the Vale ! to Heroes laid In dust, that voice is dear ! Along thy banks, at dead of night, Sweeps visibly t he Wallace Wight; . . Or - stands, in warlike req., Aloft, beneath the moon's pale beam, A 61411,00 n worthy of the stream, Yon grey tower's living - crest ! But clouds and envious darkness hide ti Form not doubtfully descried:— Their transient mission o'er, 0 say to what blind regions flee These Shapes of awful phantasy ? To what untrodden shore ? Less than• Divine command they spurn; But this we from the mountains learn, And this the valleys show, That never will they deign to hold Communion where the heart is cold To human weal and woe. The man G f abject soul in rain Shall walk the Marathonian Plain: Or thud the shadoK•y gloom, That still invests the guardian Pass, Where stood sublime Leonidas, Devoted to the tomb. Nor deem that it can aught avail For such to glide with oar or sail Beneath the piny wood, Where Tell once drew, by liri's Lake, Pis vengeful shafts—prepared to slake Their thirst in Tyrant's blood !

A new Island has been discovered off Cape Horn, in lat. 61 deg. long. 55 deg. by the ship William, on a voyage from Monte Video for Valparaiso.— The same sli p having been dispatched by Captain Sherriff, of t►he Andromache frigate, to survey the coast, had explored it for 200 miles. The Captain went ashore, found it covered with snow, and un inhabited. Abundance of seals and whales were found in its neighbourhood. He has named the Island New Shetland. An occurrence, we believe unparalleled in the annals . ot this countryoook place on Sunday, the 23d of April, at Stropsley, near Luton, in Bed fordshire, A man named Bean. by trade a wheel wright, took out his two children, one aged about three years, and the other about 14 months, in a small child's chaise-cart, into a lane at a short distance from his house, where, having almost severed their heads from their bodies with a razor, he cut his own throat with the come instrumott. —The children were found dead by some neigh bours a short time afterwards. and near them the wretched tether, who unhappily survives, and is likely to recover. A Coroner's Inquest was the next day held on the bodies of the infants, when the verdict returned was— " killed by their father while in a state of Insanity." No cause has been hitherto assigned for the commission of the dread ful act. IMPORTANT jtiroßMATioN.—From calculation by the College of Physicians, no less than 40,00 C die annually in Great Britain of Consumption, and at least 10,000 in London. The late William Turnbull, Esq. a very ingenious Surgeon, ascer tained that every 20th person was ruptured,— These complaints are truly alarming to every in dividUal.who uses the least exertion. It is alto incredible the number that suffer from a certain Disease, by being improperly treated. It was those circumstances induced Dr. COOPER to selec eminent Physicians and Surgeons, of at least 30 years' experience, to form a Medical Board; and since the establishment upwards of 30,000 Pa tients have been cured without _confinement— many of them arter hospitals had failed. Messrs. COOPER and Co. are consulted at Woodstock-street, Oxford-street ; and at Char lotte House, Great Charlotte-street, opposite the Rev. Rowland. Hill's, daily, trout eight till eight. Mechanics have advice gratis every evening, from six till eight,; and on Sunday mornings until 12 o'clock. *** RUPTURES of 30 years standing radically cured without confinement. *4.* There are private doors at each Louse, and pi lye e rooms for Females. , N.

Leave was given, on the motion of Mr. CAL• CRAFT, to boring in a Dill to alter and extend the powers of two Acts pissed for the re-building of Drury-line TWatre. ELECTION PETITIONS. A petition was presented, complaining of an undue return for the Bolough of Bridport. Or dered to be taken into consideration on Thursday, June the Ist. GEORGE EDWARDS. Mr. Alderman WooD said, he rose for the Hr• pose of giving notice of an intended motion on a most important subject. He wished to acquaint the House, that in order to prevent a notorious individual frorrrleaving the country, be had written to Lord Sidmoutli acquainting him Of his inten tions. He now gave notice that on Tuesday next he would move tar the appointmknt of a Select Committee to examine witnesses relative to cer tain charges against George'Edwatds. On the motion of Lord MILTON; a copy of the appointment of Henry EMS, Esq. to the office of Secretary to the Government of the Cape of Good Hope, was ordered to be laid before the House. FOREIGN WOOL DUTY. Mr. STUART WoRTLEY presented a Petition from the Worsted Manufacturers of Nottingham, against the duty imposed during the last Parlia ment on the importation of Foreign Wool. The same feeling pervaded, he well knew, the West Riding of Yorkshire ; but as the question would be most probably brought before the House in a more definite shape for its repeal, all he would say at present was, that he considered the imposition of that duty as a most impolitic and cruel mea sure—(Hear, hear !)—The petition was ordered to lie on the table. _ Lord MILTON said, he also had a petition to present from the Merchants, Manufacturers, and others interested in the Wool Trade of Leeds and its neighboui hood, against the W 7 ool Tax, and praying for its reOal. The character and respec tability of the signatures to that petition were the best evidence of the pressure of the evil against which they petitioned. The petition bad not ori ginated at a public meeting, because the persons who were most solicitous to press the repeal of that impolitic duty, wished to avoid any course likely to increase the ferment and agitation which existed on this subject in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The tax of which they complatned,. was not only in contradiction of every principle of political economy, but was directly contrary to that fundamental system of policy which for years had prevailed in this country, and to the: continuance of Which the faith of Parliament was pledged—pledged, he would say, by the immemo rial policy of its Government—a policy which every Statesman who viewed the question would see was the unfailing source of wealth arid power. When he reflected also that that duty was imposed On the raw material, the manatee., tore of which constituted the employment of a great population then suffering under the severest pressure of distress and penury, he must add, that such a measure was not alone impolitic, but cruel and unfeeling. He could moreover state, that as a measure of revenue, it had altogether failed— as fail it must, when it was considered that a very great proportion of the article on which it was laid, must, by that operation, be altogether excluded from the markets of the country. He . assured the House, that a very important contract for the clothing of a great part of the Russian soldiery, was actually lost to this country in con. vquence of the operation of that impolitic mea sure. He knew the house to whom the contract had been offered under certain stipulated terms, which, in consequence of the late tax, they assnr• ed him they were compelled to decline. If it was a meas ure for the protection of the wool growers, it was for them to look at such effects, and to Calculate what must such a system eventually pro. duce. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed. that when the question was brought before the House in the definite manner to which allusion had been made, he was sure it would receive the fullest considera►ion. He had, however, in answer to the argument of the Noble Lord, who contended, that as a measure of revenue, it had wholly failed, to say, that it had not yet been fairly tried. It came partially into operation in October last, was only extended January, while at the time there was a large stock of Foreign Wool in the market. After a few words in explanation from Lord MILTON, the Petition was ordered to be printed. NEW POST OFFICE. On the motion Of Mr. R. GoaDoN, who depreo ailed the expence incurred in the building of the New Post Office, and particularly the imposition of its expence on the Orphan Funds, a return of the plans received, and the money expended, was ordered to be laid before the House. CIVIL LIST. Sir H. PARNELL rose to move for certain rcterg connected with the Civil List, under a conviolon that, it the subject were thoroughly examine4l considerable sum might be saved to the country. The present was the only opportunity of enforcPig a strict inquiry, because the House was awire that, as soon as the bargain had been completed, the answer would be ready, that the that ter was concluded, and that no further investigation could be bed. He was anxious that the report of 1810 should be laid upon the table, that all members might be put in possession of the nature of the settle.,
