THE THEATRE. DRURT-LANE.—The Comedy of The Hypo. crite, rather sombrous in itself, and which re quires first-rate abilities to render interesting or amusing, was last night represented for the last time this season. The part of Cantwell has long been identified with the excellent performance of DOWTON, who by his accurate and skilful support of it on this occasion appeared resolved to leave a vivid impression on the audience...— Char/oak was represented with easy gaiety by Mrs. W. WEST, whose conjugal stale, however, might be supposed to alarm her lover too much for him to think of marriage with a Lady in such a situation. Mrs.ORGER'S ady Lambe rt w asmark ed by tenderness and decorum,excapt in one scene which is the fault of the author, not of herself. The scene in which Lady Lambert draws on Cantwell to an avowal of his love, while her has band is behind the screen, is very improper, for by appearing to yield to the Hypocrite, she in a" great degree lessens the measure of his guilt.— She should indeed have led hint on by a silent suppression of resentment, rather than by verbal acquiescence,and have left all active allurements to himself. This scene admit of judicious alteration, end demands it. The Illawtoorns of BARLEY, fol lowing the steps of LisToN, without any servile imitation, was an effective performance, and the parting Anatthema behind the skre►ea was as usual encored. A, new Ballet followed and was ren dered amusing by the grace and agility of Mr. and Mrs. NORLE. The farce of The Citizen was the concluding piece, and Miss L. PATON per formed the part of Maria, being the fourth time -of her appearance in public. This farce was originally brought forward by the late ARTHUR MUEPHT, when he and the celebrated SAMUEL FOOTE rented Drury-Lai eTheatre,inconjunction, during the summer of 1761,as find in theatrical an nals. The part of Maria was expressly drawn for Miss ELLtoT, who was rescued from too free a IP by Mr. Mullen v, and brought upon the Wage. By all .accounts she wns an admirable actress, as well as a very beautiful woman, and those who remember her talents, declare that her equal in Maria has never bee❑ seen. This diffi cult character was last night, as we have said, assumed by Miss L PATos, and considering her youth and want of practice, was performed with greatspirit. She evidently conceived the past pro perly, and both in the affected idiotism and the in. telligeat vivacity received great applause. It was rather ludicrous to see BROWN come forward and' announce a repetition of so old a farce by per. Inistion of the audience, rather than the re-ap pearance of Miss L. PATox in the character of Maria. VAUXIIA T.L.—Lnst night the splendid decora tions which distinguished the Coronation Fete on Monday night were repeated, with, if possi ble, additional effect ; and the gardens boasted an unprecedented galaxy of rank and beauty. The great novelty of the evening was the per• formance of the French juggler, who, so far as agility in the exercise of balls, knives, and even large brass rings was concerned, surpassed the best efforts of the Indians, whose feats excited universal admiration. The French juggler ex hibited also a series of balancing which were truly astonishing. A musical battle piece was performed with great effect, which had been composed for the ocoasion, by W. ROOK, the present conductor of musical department. Nu merous distinguished fumalies were preseut. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN DUBLIN.-At an early hour on Monday morning, an alarming fire broke out in the house of a cork-cutter in Abbey. street. Before any effectual assistance could be rendered towards checking its progress, the flames raged with tremendous fury, and the en tire building was nearly one body of fire. Several engines by this time had arrived, and being sup plied with water from the carts belonging to the Paving Board, which were also in attendance, they played with much effect, although for a considerable time before the great body of fire was reduced. The floors of the house fell, and also the front wall, which came with a dreadful crash into the street. The sight at this moment was truly appalling, as the flames rose with redoubled fury from the pile of ruins. It was said that a woman and a young girl were missing, but we understand that no lives were lost. Se. rpous apprehensions w ere e nt er tai ne d f or some time as to the safety of the adjoining houses ; but, we believe, except a small house which was 'next to that in which the fire originated, and to which the flames communicated, they escaped un thiured.—(Dublin Morning Post.) CAUTTON.—On Monday a middle-aged, re spectable looking man called at the shop of Mr. TILLEY', Bookseller, in Glasshouse -street, Regent-street, and requested to be shown some Bibles and Prayer-books. After looking at them for some time, he fixed upon a Bible at Ills. and a Prayer book at Ds. fid., and left.the following note Mr. Simmonds will thank you to send the above to him—Monday. --I have taken them, and will thank you to put it to my account." The youth in the shop (from the gentlemanly appearance of the man), not suspecting any thing wrong, let lion have them; but upon making inquiries of Mr. TiLlalY the next morning, it appeared that he had not the slightest knowledge of any such person. NASSAU (New Providence), JUNE 9 —The Spanish schooner Argos, GONZALES, from Mon. titian to Havanna)), was captured by the Bolivar, Colombian schooner privateer, and was after wards stranded on the Grand Bahama ; part of the cargo (sugar) was saved. Letters received from Edinburgh announce the sudden death of GILUERT Iltrrcurson, Esq., Deputy Judge Advocate for Scotland. Ile was srized with an apoplectic fit while walking in the street, and expired before medical assistance could be obtained. lie was a person universally respected and beloved ; and of him it may be truly said, be had not an enemy in the world. An elegant iron balcony has been placed to the first and second floors of the beautiful range of houses in the Rue Rivoli, Paris, by which the inhab►tants may visit each other from their windows without descending into the street. These balconies continue, without separation, along the Rue Castigliona as far as la Rue Moutabon. FASHIONABLE CHANGES.

(From a Morning Paper. ) The recent arrival of a lady who moves in the very highest ranks of fashion in this country, has been caused by an incurable attachment on the part of her husband to a lady, Mrs. the widow of a gallant officer. This attach ment, we are sorry to say, has ended in an elopement, and articles of separation have been agreed to by the lady, who, having already brought to her husband a most princely fortune, which he has dissip a t e d, s h e h as , notw ithstanding his frailty, consented to allow him 3,0001. per annum out of th a t p ort i on of her fortune which h a d been secured to her at her marriage. From another Morning Paper.) FURTHER PAHTICUEARS..The above account is incor rect, as far as relates to an alleged elopement. The following are the circumstances under which the parties became acquaint. ed, and the connection formed, which has entailed unhappiness on two families in the highest walks of' life. Mrs. 11--, whose marriage with her husband, if not clandestine, was with. out the approbation of the gentleman's friends, is a young lady of great personal attracti ons . Sh or tly after her marriage sh e ac companied her husband to- tlinCentinent, but as love matches are not always productive of the g reatest t happiness, they. found after marri age , w h at, probably', they' never took the trouble to inquire into. before it—that tliturtemPen were not suited to each other. Their domestic differences at length became so seriou4 and unpleasant, that Airs. B— requested the lady of the (nes wealthy commoner, who figures in this transaction to reside with her, un t il s h e commun i cate d w i t h h er f r i en d s in England, and convenient provision was made for her return to her own family. With this requisition 3frs. &c., complied. Hospitality, though always en amiable virtue, ill one that often requires to be exercised with.discretion and never more s o than wh en a p ret ty woman is in question. . 2 8c, it proved in the present instanre: Mrs. had not been long an inmate of the family, when the master of it thinking, in the spirit of " that they went to Paris for the purpose of adjusting the terns of their 'separation.

It is bruited in all the walks of scandal ; and the minute parti culars are detailed in all the fashionable coteries, with an ex. aggeratimi and an invention of a variety of fatta that would well make up another volume to add to " the tales of fashion• able life." The WILL of Sir GEo. Woon, Kt., late one of the Barons of the Exchequer, was registered in the Prerogative Court, in Doctors'-Commons, on the 16th instant. Probate was granted to Thomas Bayldon and William Bayldon, the nephews, the executors. The personal estate was estimated as under the sum of 140,000/. The Will Is dated the 29th of No vember' 1023. The testator req u est s , s h ou ld h e di e ne ar L on . don, to be buried in the Temple Church; and, with permission of the bendier& to have a monument or ta bl et p l aced t h ere to his memory ; b ut if in the north, to be interred at Royston, and a handsome monument erected ; in that case he makes a be. quest of 201. to the Vicar, and 101. to the parish clerk. His house, furniture, and provisions, are given f or t h e use of Lady Wood for life, with the principal sum of 50,0001, three per cent. Consols absolutely (to be in lieu of dower); it is however sub. jected to a discretionary provision for her Ladyehip'a sister, which, in case of her death or second marriage, is to be fixed at the annual charge of 3,500/. Consols, for hersistersalife. The testator's real estates, which lie in Yorkshire, he has apportion. ed among nephews, subject to annual charges for female re. latives. He has left many legacies, but they are almost all to relations and servants,: 60,0001. Consols, in sums varying from 4,0001. to 10,0001., are given amongst nephews and nieces, and the residue seems to be divided amongst individuals of the kindred ; there is no mention of any children. His law books, precedents, Grose's Antiquities, Doomsday, Dit,gdule's MOIUW ticon, State Trials, MSS., &c., are left by the will to his wife and a Mr. Allen ; but a cordicil, written in a feeble hand, provides that, should Mr. John Alexander Wallace marry his niece Louisa Baylon, " as I think they are engaged," (the young lady appears to be a favourite), some of these books should be his : he alludes to the former appropriation, and adds, " if my wife anti Mr. Allen cannot agree about th em , . let Godfrey Sikes decide the same." COUNTESS OF BELAVEDERE.—The encourage ment which has been given by this lady to the induslrious poor in Tyrellspass and its neighbourhood in donations and loans, reflects a high degree of credit both on her feelings and judgment. In addition to her every-d a y c h ar i t i es, s h e h as lately appropriated 2001. to be laid out in loans of 1/. each to individuals, which sum is taken again in small' weekly pay ments, and then lent to others in the same manner, so that the money is continually in motion, and the good resulting from it is very considerable. It is not our intention to make any in. vidioua comparison ; we would only say to those possessing the same means, "Go ye and do likewise."—(Preesnan's Journal.) A Tufty ButA..—The Mayor of an English City has put forth an advertisement previous to the races, " that no Gentleman will be allowed to ride on the course except the horses that are to run." In 1294, when twelve Ambassadors from dif ferent Courts came to Rome to congratulate BONIFACE VIII. , the Pope, astonished to find that they were all Florentines, exclaimed, " Flo rence is the first city in the world, and the Florentines the refined fifth element—the quint essence of mankind." _lng us back lang syne again, And with It bring the sing, &c. &c.

In the Channel and on the coast of France the disturbed elements raged with terrific grandeur. Much ag i ta ti on was felt on b oar d t h e ve ss e ls coming op Channel, from whom signal guns were continually fired for pilots, the weather changing successively to the opposite extremes. The boats which nightly leave the French coast with expresses for England did not on this occasion put to sea, so generally did an awful sensation prevail among th e mar i t i me people, and which particularly evinced itself in the more superstitious among the lower class of o ur continental neighbours.—(Kentish Gazette.) RAMSGATE, JULY' 21.. The Anniversary of the Coronation of his pre sent MAJESTY was celebrated on Monday with every demonstration of loyalty and affection. A dinner on a very large scale was given at the Al bion Hotel on the above occasion, with the joint purpose of meeting and welcoming Sir lirm..cu it- TIS on his return to this country. Nearly two hundred sat down to an excellent dinner, over which Sir THOMAS GREY presided. One of the worthy Magistrates of the town, most feel ingly and eloquently prefaced the first toast of " the King," and so entirely carried the senti ments of the - whole room , with him, that a more spontaneous or unanimous burst of feeling was scarcely ever witnessed than that which accom panied the health that followed. The succeeding one of " the Duke of York and the Army" also elicited a very just remark from this able Chairman, who observed that his Royal Highness's competency as Commander-in- Chief, was the very efficient way in which he sent our armies to the field as best attested by their gallant exploits there.

After which Sir Thomas rose to preface the health of Sir William Curtis, .for whose unex pected and unavoidable absence h e first apolo gized ; and, though the disappointment was felt by all present, yet in the very able manner the Chairman point e d out the worthy Baronet's own regret, (from whom he had received a letter stating that his heart and best wishes were with his townsmen, but circumstances he could not foresee or overrule, had prevented the autici. pated pleasure of meeting them), was unanimously admitted as efficient cause of absence by all pre sent, and his health was most fervently and cor dially pledged ; immediately succeeding which, the following air adapted from " Auld Lang Syne," by Mr. Fnwcit Savill *, was sung by Mr. loord, Organist of Margate : Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And brought not to our mind, Can we the recollection blot Of days o' lang syne. Of days o' lang sync, my friends, Of mild lang sync, We tak the cup of friendship now, To days o' lang syne.

Alas ! for the fierce thrill of fever that tore him From friends that for ever were bound to adore him.— Come ye who inhabit the clime of the North, Drop a veil on his rashness,—a tear for his worth. Will ye pause, in this hour,. his excesses to measure, Who in Liberty's scale flung his broadsword and treasure i While ye number, for judgment, the statutes he broke, Recal what he wrenched from the Infidels yoke :t He tore the chill bond of your manners and laws, But he seal'd in his death to humanity's cause. Forget for a moment his Lays overflowing With satire too daring, or passion too glowing ; Song burst like a lava stream warm from his soul, In its love or its hate, o'er all human controul ; Sweeping on, as if Poetry's pulse had first run From the clime of the East, and the font of the sun ! Feeble Modern, condemn not a spirit so bold, That was cast for the cause in Antiquity's mould. Give the laurel eternal,—the cloud pacing horse, To the Bard that breath'd life through Antiquity's course ; And flung, like the ivy, his mantle of rhyme O'er the mighty laid low by the scythe-car of Time : Sage—hero--and beauty—divine in their day — Live their bright life of glory once more in his Lay; The Assyrian looks up from his death bed of flame, By his I'oet redeemed from long ages of shame ; And the genius of Athens,—the spirit of Rome, Breathe again from the ruins that once were their home.

Bow.STRY.tr.-A j , oitng man 'of the name of Last, was brought before Mr. 11l twsittree, on a warrant, on suspicion of having stolen or rather embezzled a pony, the pro. perty of an elderly F renc h L a d y o f t h e name of Morville, now residing in France. The complainant was a M. Mauduit, who is the principal inaniesze of the Foreign Coach Office, at Charing .Cross, and 1 he stated that the defendant was an under.clerk in the Same Office. Some months, ago, Madame Morville, who is very . old, left this country, wh ere s h e l ong res id e d, to li ve at Cala is. it happened that she had a potey which had for many long 'years formed part of her domestic es t a bli s h ment , an d f or w hi c h, consequently, she had a very gr ea t a ff ec ti o n. Wh en s h e got to Dover, she fancied, whether truly or not he could not say, that she would not be allowed to export the poor pony, and— . otiMr„ mrarterus.L.—Prey how came sh e to e nte r t a i n S uc h a non ? ' .. , M. Mentinte,' with' some hesitation, said, " Why, Sir, the d.never per fect is, that i t i s an entire pony, and Madame thought that the breed must be so va l ua b le, dust the kloglish•woul twit her countrymen on the other side of the 'water to .havelbc benefit of it." lie went on to state, that Madame in consequence of this notion others wrote to him, requ est i ng t h at he would re. ceive the p on y and cherish it, and she would pay any thing that was demanded • it was not on any accoun t to b e sold or killed, or even suffered to Work, but to be well fed and _taken care of as long as it should live. With this injuction,. the witness out of respect to Madame, felt inclined us comply, and the defendant havin g o e ca Si on to go to ' Dover be wee desired to bring up the pony, lie dam) but the moment witness saw it he regretted th at so muc h trotiblet and expellee should be In. curred for such an unfortunate animal. Jr was lame, almost blind, very lean, and very old. " Bless my sod)," said wit. nags to defendant, " how could you think of bringing such a pony as this seventy-three miles ? why, It would be a charity to shoot him." However, as he had undertaken to protect the pony he was determined to • do so;. and while hesitating where to place ft, he, defendant, volunteered to take care of it alto. gether forthree shillings per week. Witness gladly closed with this offer, And the pony was taken home by the defendant to his mother's at Paddington. The witness wrote soon afterwards to Madame, advising her to have the . poor animal shot, at the same time informing her that her notion about the exportation of it was erroneous. The bearer of the letter reported that poor Madame when she read the piece of advice about shooting burst into tears, and declared she would not . have him destroy e d for one thousand pounds." She wrote to witness instructing him to send the pony to Calais as speedily as possible, and he spoke to the Dover waggoner to take it as far as that place, at the same time telling the Defendant that he must produce the yourself privilegedknow where to find me. 1 pony by a particular day.

On the appointed day, however, he said the pony was lame. Witness got into a passion, and said it was a very lame excuse, and insisted that the pony should be pro duced on another day then mentioned. That day came, the pony was not produced, and the witness finally discovered that the pony had been sold in Smithfield for 3Se. Air.
