HAYMARKET.—The heir-ah Law was repre sented , last night at this Theatre, and, as the opening of Covent-Garden Theatre has deprived the Haymarket Manager of some of his per formers, we must make some allowance for the , want of adequate ability in several of the substi, tutes in the characters assikued . to them. LISTON, of course, was a good representative of Lord Duberly, but his severe hoarseness was a great drawback on the general effect of the Comedy. HARLEY'S Pangloss was also entitled to a favour able notice, but as we cannot say much in favour of the rest, we shall advert to a new Farce which followed the Comedy, under the name Hide and Seek. The following is an outline of the Plot : " A Page (Mrs. T. HILL) of a Prince, (Mr. MELROSE), from his love for Flora (Miss KELLY), the daughter of Bud stock, a gardner (Mr. AiriLLlAsis), neglects his patron's ser vice, and is compelled to conceal himself in the green-house of his love's father. By Budstock it is thought that a fox infests the grounds, while his nephew, David Dibble (LasTos), is sa tisfied that it is a ghost. To free the grounds, however, from the nuisance, he applies to the Prince for the use of his hunts men and dogs, that an effectual search may be made. The Page uses every effort to escape, and at length takes refuge even under the table, where the Prince, together with his host Bud stock and family, are to take refre shment. The Prince becomes smitten by the charms of Flora, and she consents to an assig nation. She informs the Page, who is to be stationed within hearing, and when the time arrives she pleads her real lover's cause, obtains his pardon from the Prince, who presents her with a dower and a husband. David Dibble has long been attached to his cousin, but he is necessitated to console himself with a solitary kiss, and the piece concludes." —This Farce, which is understood to he a trans lation from the French, is ascribed to the author of Family Jars, and Fish out of Water, two Farces that have been deservedly successful. We can not compliment the author on having exerted his talents with equal success on the present occasion. It is proper, however, to observe that LISTON'S hoarseness operated as a drawback against the new Farce, as it did against the comedy. But the piece itself is not intrinsically strong, and is by no means very probable. Yet LISTON was a main prop, notwithstanding his infirmity, and Miss KELLY was another. We were sorry to see a male , part assigned to Mrs. 'l'. HlLL.—This is an offensive practice at the Theatre : a female should never assume virile attire, except when the structure of a Drama requires it as a disguise. Nothing could be more ridiculous than Mrs. YESTRIS as Mac' heath, the head of a banditti. It is not necessary for us to enter into a critical examination of the new Piece, because it is merely intended as light summer wear. Off the conclusion, LISTON came forward, and; stating that his illness prevented him from doing justice to the Author, he hoped that the audience would permit it to be brought forward on Monday. The major part of a numerous audience assented to the requisition, and they were abundantly recom pensed by the Putertainnoyut which they after wards received from DOWTON and Miss KELLY, as Jobson and Nell, in the diverting but absurd old Farce of The Devil to Pay, which nothing but good acting in those parts can now render en durable to a rational audience. LICENSING TH EATRES. EXTRACT rnom A CURIOUS OLD MANUSCRIPT IN MA'. LONE'S COLLECTION IN TILE BODLEIAN LIM!.MIT. Yesterday being the day appointed for Licensing the various Theatres, a full meeting of die Surrey Magistrates took place. The first application was made by Air. Sirilliam Shakspeare, for the renewal of his license for the Globe Theatre on the Bank-side. Sir Thomas Holmes felt considerable hesitation in assenting to the renewal of the license. He would put one question to Mr. Shakspeare. Had he, or had he not, written, and causes to be represented at the Globe Theatre, a Play called Heisrtt VIII. 9 Mr. Shakspeare admitted he hail. Sir Thos. flolmey then stated, be had only put the question for form ; he had himself attended and witnessed the representation ; his feelings were truly shocked. Mr. Shakspeare had represented our late. revered Sovereign as labouring to procure a divorce from Queen Catharine by the most unjust and corrupt artifices, and even as endeavouring to effect it by means of Italian perfidy. He had also represented his Prime Minister as levying cruel and oppressive taxes on the people in his Majesty's name ; cir cumstances tending to bring our late revered Sovere'gn's me mory into contempt, and very painful to the feelings of his daughter, our present beloved Sovereign. Mr. Shakspeare admitted the writing and representation of the play, but appealed to the proceedings of the Court, and to every Memoir of the Life of Henry VIII. for the truth of the characters delineated in his play. Sir Thomas Holmes considered this rather an aggravation of the offence, and calculated to augment the danger. Sir Charles Wynn felt indignant at the exposition made of the Duke of Buckingham. Messrs. Hemminges and Condell humbly stated that Mr. Shakspeare was only a Joint Patentee, and that they would take care to guard against a similar representation. A consultation here took place among the Magistrates. The Chairman at length informed Mr. Shakspeare that his License would be renewed this year, but cautioned him against pour. traying in future the characters of Kings, Ministers, or Cour tiers, at least such as had not been dead an hundred years. A New York paper of September 24 says--- " Miss L. KELLY made a very successful hit in Beatrice on Wednesday evening. The audience wer delighted with her performance." The new tragedy announced for representa tion at Covent Garden Theatre,_ is founded upon an Itali an story ; Mr. Young, Miss F. H. Kelly, and Miss Lacy, are to sustain the principal parts. It is said that an application will be made to the Middlesex Sessions next week, for a license to re-open the Pantheon, in Oxford-street, as a place of public entertainment. Some years since a Mr. l'owyss, of Maroham, near Preston, Lancashire, advertised a reward of 50/. a year for life to any man who would under take to live seven years, under ground, without seeing any thing human, and to let his toe and finger nails grow, with his hair and beard, during the whole time. Apartments were prepared under ground, very commodious, with a cold bath, a chamber organ, as many books as the occupier pleased, and provisions served from his own table. Whenever the recluse wanted any conve nience, he was to ring a bell, and it wag provided for him. Strange as it may appear, an occupier offered himself, and actually stayed in the place, observing the required conditions, for four years. FATAL EFFECTS OF LAUGHING Gas.—Th e foolish experiments upon the laughing gas, now so much in fashion, has been attended with what is not at all surprising—the death of a person who breathed a portion of it. It occurred at Bor deaux last February. We sincerely recommend the public to set their faces against further exhi. bitions of this dangerous practice; every thing which operates upon the sensorium, so as to de range it, even temporarily, is dangerous. The same quantity of this gas inhaled by different people will possess very different effects. One man may be but gently stimulated by it, while another, from peculiar physical construction in the brain or blood vessels, may drop down in apoplexy.—( Medical didoiser.)

The racing, on the whole, affinded excellent sport ; and the weather being beautifully propitious, there was as great a con. course of spectators as we ever recollect, full five thousand per. sons, we should suppose, including some of the most distin guished personages of the county of Durham, as well as of the county of Northumberland, and others from more distant parts. Amongst the, fashionables we noticed the Marquis and Mar. chioness of Londonderry (who drove on to the ground in fine style, accompanied by a State Jager), Sir Roger and Lady Charlotte Oresley, Lord Viscount Barrington and daughters, the Earl of Wilton, Lord Noruianby, MX., the Hon. 11.

The field of eques trians was also a gay and humorous body..—Lambton Hall, we understand, as is usual at this festive meeting, is full of visitors, so that after the agreeable pleasures of the Turf in the morning, the truly liberal owner has the gratification of exhibiting to his numerous guests that brilliant display of elegant hospitality, fin which genuine English Gentlemen have ever been justly famous. And we heartily subscribed to the remark made by a sensible foreigner :—" Le bon Goat & la Santa soul egalement interesso: a la delicatesse des Aprets, car le plaisir de la 'ruble eat de tout Age, de tout sexe & de toute Nation."

This annual meeting took place on Thursday last, and was attended by a large concourse of spectators from the town and neighbotirhood. The time flied was later in the year than formerly, hut the day was fine, and seldom has Kington ex hibited so lively an appearance, or had to boast of so respect able an assemblage as on this occasion. Owing to some mis understanding, the usual Plate of Fifty Pounds fbr half-bred horses was not run for, which was a great disappointment. The amusements were.„ therefore, confined to pony racing. Three started for the first prize, and two for the second, and both afforded a little diversion. LEEDS RACE COURSE. An important alteration in ilia Leeds Race Course, from the Park Lodge Farm House, by way of the Fish Pond-side, and between the two large elm trees, to the Grand Stand, is now completed. It has been made for the express purpose of giving to the jockeys a straight line of gallop of about a quar ter of a mile before they turn towards the Stand, and of afford ing to the company situate thereon, a side, instead of a head, view of the horses when running the round course. This alte ration must afford a greater gratification to the spectators on the Stand and Course, by distinguishing the horses when pass ing and repassing each other, particularly when coming to and passing the whole length of the Stand. The present pulling up ground, from the - Park to the Pontefract Turnpike-road, will be abolished, and the pulling-up line in futur e will commence from a certain point past the winning-post, and will form a curve to the top end of the Fish Pond, where it will join the altered straight line on the Fish Pond side.— ( Leeds Intelligencer.) • striTtat in s H.

Robbins, of the I 7th Lancers, fell and threw that Gentleman a severe fall, which materially injured his arm. He was conveyed to a neighbouring farm-house, where he re ceived immediate attention, and is not likely to experience any very ill effects. Another horse fell in attempting the same leap, but • the rider escaped unhurt.—The bounds belonging to the Officers of the Lancers were out yesterday, in the neighbourhood of Pethain, and had a good run for an hour and - a halt.—( Kent .Herald.)

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS—(Tins Day.) ' William Chamber:, formerly an errand boy to Mr. Wilson, a tailor, was indicted for obtaining, under false pretences, 12 yards of blue cloth, value 151. the property of Mr. Perring, a woollen draper, in St. Martin's•lane. There was also a second charge against the prisoner, for obtaining, by similar means, several gross of gilt buttons, valued at 31. 10s. of Mr. Walter Williams. The fact of the case being clearly made out against the prisoner, the Jury found him Guilty on both in dictments. AIIt: ILI. ROOlll9. Yesterday Mr. ALLEY applied for a licence on behalf of the proprietors of the Argyll Rooms. The CIIAIUMAN asked who were the proprietors ; for the rule was, that none but the parties applying should use the licence. Mr. Hawes (of the Adelphi) stated, that he and M. Walsh were the propietors. The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Hawse what he wanted the licence for ? Mr. Hawes said, that they had taken the place of the Corn mitesioners of 'Woods and Forests, and appropriated it to con certs, assemblies, and masquerades. The CHAIRMAN observed, that he did not think the Ma gistrates would give a licence for Masquerades. Mr. Hawse said, that the proprietors always received the Lord Chamberlain's licence for these entertainments. The CHAIRMAN inquired why, then, since he received the Lord Chamberlain's licence, did he ask for one from the Magistrates ? _ Air. Ilawse said, that the proprietors were anxious for the protection of the Magistrates also, for the greater security of the property. They were subject to a heavy expence ; they paid 6251. ground-rent, and built the premises themselves. The CHAIRMAN said that they might have the licence for assemblies and concerts; but he knew that for other entertain ments they were in the habit of letting out the rooms to others for the night. Mr. Hawse replied, that although they might let them out to others, still they (the proprietors) were responsible for the con seq in the same way as if they kept them them se l vem .. after some so me further discussion, the COURT granted 'the ap. pliest:on. WEST KENT QUARTER SESSIONS. MAIDSTONE, OCT. 19. This morning the Sessions commenced before T nom AS Law HODGES, Esq., Chairman, R. ALN ti TT, Esq., T. H. Dou ex, Esq., W. P. LE G YT, Esq., and other county Magistrates. There are 40 cases in the calendar ; but the only case of im portance contained in it is the following ;--- " George Hale, committed by the Rev. J. Messiter, Sir J. Webb, hnt., and W. Stace, Esq., on the 15th of September, 1024, for want of sureties, charged on the oaths of Beery Ridout, W.llevan,and others, with unlawfully publishing and distribut ing amongst the soldiers of his Majesty's Royal Regiment of Artillery, and corps of Royal Marines, at 'Woolwich, divers printed papers, thereby attempting and endeavourhw to excite a spirit of insubordination and mutiny in his Majesty's said soldiers, against the peace." The Chairman, 'l'i[os. Law HODGES ' Esq. in his address to the (grand Jury upon the state of the calender, made some very important observations which he particularly address ed to the farmers and agriculturists, upon the practice of their paying . their labourers in husbandry less than a remunerating price for their labour--a practice which, _in his opinion, and in the opinion of many of his brother Magistrates, was very much to the injury of that important class of persons, who were continued in a state or pauperization, at a time when agri culture was in a thriving state, and was paying the farmer a remunerating profit. He therefore hoped that the farmers would consider the observations he addressed to them upon this im portant subject, and instead of the labourer being paid part of his earnings out of the pours' rates, that he be paid by them an amount equal to the labour performed by him. lie was sure the farmers could not adopt a more efficient plan to give satisfaction to the labourer, and ultimately to the advantage of the farmers themselves. lie knew many farmers, who at this time did not pay their ibourers equal to the work they per formed, though they could well afford to do it, but suffered them to remain paupers : be hoped a higher rate, or. as he before said, a remunerating price, would be soot given to the :abourer in husbandry generally throughout the country . . The calendar was lighter by one-half in the number of prisoners for trial, than in the corresponding quarter last year, and the only case of any novel nature was one in which he had been informed there were no proceedings intended to be taken. Ile therefore dismissed them to their duties. The Court was occupied the greater part of the day in heariPg parish appeals. 74111. C. IIAI.E. 1111.0.anxitox, as Counsel fir Mr. Hale, moved for his dis charge out of the custody of the keeper of Maidstone gaol. Mr. Clarkson stated, that his client had - been committed by the Magistrates of Woolwich for uttering pamphlets amongst the soldiery in that garrison, and the defendant stood, as the Learned Chairman would see by referring to No. 21, in the calendar.— The grounds of his motion were these—no bill had been prefer red against hint before the Grand Jury, and he understood there was no intention on the part of the prosecutors, whom Mr. Bicknell, the respectable clerk to the Magistrates, represented, to prefer any bill ; the prosecution being, therefore, entirely abandoned, he prayed for the prisoner's discharge forthwith. He (the counsel) knew it was not exactly regular to move fbr the discharge of a prisoner till the Grand Jury were dismissed ; but as no objection was made by the prosecutors to Mr. Bale's being set at liberty, he hoped the Court would comply with the motion. _ _ _ CIIAIRMAN.—No proceedings are intended to be takea against the prisoner, you say ? Mr. Bicknell.—None whatever. . . CHAIRUAN.—Let him be discharged forthwith. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

In consequence of Information communicated at lifarylebone Police Office of several valuable horses having been stolen front different parts of the country, an inquiry has been instituted by direction of Mr. •Itswraiktsoat, and lillaples the officer, thus employed, has been engaged three entire days in visiting numerous suspicious places in riltfe rent parts of the town which were known to be occasionally used as places of depot for this kind of property. As respects the particular horses for which the search was made, the in quiry has been unproductive of any good; but a -mass of information has been obtained, which tnay probably lead the oth i e i t r t depotse n tiott to the recovery of some other horses, the owners of which had given up their property :as absolutely and irreco verably lost. In one stable several valuable horses were found under circumstances of extreme suspicion.
