Ano UT PARIS, (No. XVIII.) PARIS, _OCTbDER 91 The Theatres are 'among the boasts of Paris. Like all its other wonders, always .excepting the Louvre, they are most wonderful at a distance. :Theatres require, perhaps, to -be purified once in every half dozen years, by fire. In Paris ) fires are rare, arid the principal Theatres have unfortunately escaped. their visitation for a considerable time.— The result is, that they arc standing specimens of the worst taste that ever lavished itseif in public ' buildings, and standing with the eertaintv of hope- less ugliness until : some coofiagra:ion takes them in its way, and clears the ground fOr a pew experi ment on public patience. What is beyond cure, is not worth cleanliness, and the maxim of a French Infirmary, runs into easy adaptation- for a French Theatre. The most inveteratesqualidness of a oconn tebank's booth in England, would he light and lustre beside the majority of the Parisian play-houses ; anti between the dinginess of the scenery,. the dens of private boxes, the, black feature, and wild eyes of the Parisians, the perpetual restless •ness, and the strange and wolfish clamour rising through the twilight of the liouse, it would re quire but a small share of itnagioation to dream oneself ,in a great menagerie. The French are, beyond all question, inferior to us in the whole arrangement, exterior and interior ; and Drury- Lane or Covent-Garden, if they could be trans planted " with a Call" into Paris, would amaze' the Great Nation with a display of syinmetry and skill, of which they have no' model, perhaps no idea. The first step under the portico betrays . the whole. spirit of impropreetl'. In place of the handsome and unincommoded enhance, the amateur has to make his way through the benches of a range of miserable shops, or the Mass of a coneerzazione' of harlots and beggars, who keep their station without fear of Ore gendarmerie : or a groupe of politicians; wedged together round a miserable lamp, and utterly incapable of being removed. • The tickets are paid for at doors, which are :um:times at the opposite side of the street. A passage is then to be fought through the crowd to a central aperture, by which the whole colluvies of box, pit, and gallery pour in, and are - mingled at once.- A second ticket is then given, and the aspirant is directed to make his way'as it may best please. Providence up or down stairs, back oe forwards. There •is no .guidance in rail or re striction, seldom a notice on the walls, or one legible only through the dirt of half a 'dozen lustrums, and the wanderer. .may occupy him Self with equal unproductiveness and assiduity for the - first half hour of an interesting piece in exploring his way through all the avenues of the house. If by perseverance lie at last strikes upon the right one, he is arrested in his full - speed by a voice . from some grim nook, demanding his ticket. Another is then . handed to hint, and after this third change he enters without, as he may presume, " let or hindrance,"—but full fruition_ is yet far off. The English pit gives the idea of some li berty of approach to the stage, or the higher agremens of the hoses. He finds himself in the French pit either squeezed inflexibly close to the roar of the orchestra, in the' parquet, or removed to an almost viewless distance in the Aimphi theatre, or indeed with the mob in the dreary in terval between.

Dopt4s made her se cond appearance last night at this Theatre, in the part of Lady Teazle. • She was.more easy, - but has not yet acquired the true tact of higher Comedy. However, her person and talents entitle her to a respectable situation. .YOUNG resumed the part of Joseph Surface,, in which the veteran BARRY MORE -received such unworthy treatment. We thought YOUNG was somewhat too uniformly so lemn in the part; It requires a mixture of artifice. discernable by the audience, and of hypocrisy to im pose on the rest of the characters. C.KENIBLE was very anion in Charles. It is to be regretted that the author did not give this character some touch of feeling, and reflection, in the scene where his Brother is disgraced, his Guardian apparentlydis honoured, and Lady Teazle sunk in shame an d Contrition; As 'it is, Charles is made to exhibit all untningled gaiety injurious to his character for moral sensibility, and his representative, 'conse quently, on this occasion, appears to be detective in proper feeling, and even in decorum. Paw curl-, grafting his own conception (von - the ad mirable stock of KING; rendered Sir Peter correct, Ittnnorous, and original. TERRY was highly re spectable iu Sir Olirer. A good house. AsTLEY's.—The Royal Amphitheatre closed a brilliant and successful campaign last night, on which occasion Mr. VILLIERS came forward,' and addressed the audience in the following words : •‘ Ladies and Gentlemen—l am directed by the Mangers to return you their most grateful iteki.owledg - inents for the: very flattering and lihered patronage they have experienced this season—a patronage so distingaisked, as to render it to tally impossible for me to find words sufficient to express their feelings of gratitude. Suffice it td say, that neither exertion, pains, nor expense will be spared, during the winter, to se lect and prepatc such Entertainments and Performers for the next season as to deserve a continuation of your kind and ge nerous support. " Fur niiself, and the performers in general, permit me to return you our sincere and humble t tut for the indulgences we bare received through our profes,ional exertions, which will excite us to become still more deserving of your favours. With this impression •w•e most respectfully take our leave for this season." - Th'E adinirers of real theatrical merit will hear with pleasure that Mrs. C. KEMBLE has been re engaged at Covent-Garden 'Theatre. We shall now see Beatrice; .Estifani g , Airs. Oakley, Lady Restlesi, the Widow Bebnour, and °thyr characters in the range of sprightly Comedy, supported with due animation. LtsToN has had a furlough given him by the Managers of Covent-Garden, and is now playing his favourite list of characters at Liverpool. A -Meeting of the Proprietors of Drury-Lane Theatre took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern yesterday, whe❑ the annual statement of accounts, &c. was laid before them by the Hon. D. KINNAIRD. 'lbis report,,and the proceedings thereupon, arc much too voluminous for our pub lication to-clay. A Morning Paper states, that MURAT . greatly favoured the trade with England. We are autho rised to state (says another Morning Paper,) on the ttuthority of a most respectable merchant, that this postilion iiing acted very differently %%rhea he thol;glft he had the whip•hand of us.- He granted a certain number of licences for English ships to trade with Naples ; and the moment the said skips were in his power, he confiscated the property under some frivolous pretence or other.. The merchant in question was himself a sufferer iiy this treacherous mode of proceeding. There was nothing.doing on the Coal Exchange yesterday : not a single ship at market, or allowed to 'sail from Newcastle, according to the accounts from thence on the 10th The Duke of NonFor.tc left town yesterday morning for Staines, where be was to fleet Dr. BAIU,IE, whom his Grace consulted on Saturday last, on his way to town. The proper title of the Lady Ivhote death we yesterday announced under the title of Lady MALPAS, was Countess of ROCKSAVAGE. She died of a decline. Her Ladyship 'was of most amiable •inanners and disposition, and her loss will, with true sincerity, be ever felt and regretted I.ly her affectionate family and friends, to whom she was so justly dear. Tuesday last, a man of the name of Holdin, un dertook at"ltinbridge-Wells, to walk against time, 50 miles i n twe l ve h ours, without any nourishment. He perfortned . his task' in eleven hours and .a half, without the least signs of fa tigue. The'principal remuneration he received was from a collection madr on the ground, which was very considerable. The same person, about three seasons ago, enga,gtd to walk and run 20 miles round the race course, (a distance of a mile and a quarter), in four hours, for a trifling snot ; this he also completed with the same casein three hours and a half. Durbig - th e night of Thursday, the shops and warehouses of Mr. Davis, tailor, 74, Sr. James's street, were ethered by means of picklock keys, and the robbers succeeded in stripping the pre mises of 'all the goods that were to be found, and they escaped without being heard, or leaving the least cble by which they might be traced. MARGATB, Oct. 11. The Vicar called a meeting of the Veitry ye 3. terday, to consider of the propriety of the parish beariog the expences that will attend the prose. cation of the Life Governors of the Intirm..ry (alias the Vagrants and Sturdy beggars) at Dover, on Wednesday next. The meeting was nousaally well attended, and the result I hasten to commit-. nicate. Mr. Churchwarden Cona, whose naine was , affixed to the " fatuous Vagrant Paper," stated, that he had incautiously permitted his name to - be made use of, in the persuasion, that being called upon in' his official situation by the Vicar, he had no alternative : he now Saw his error, and trusted to their kitolness to receive his excuse. Mr. Janvis.then rose, and without en tering at all into the merits of the question, said, that. a'`' compromise'' was then in agitation, and moved that the meeting do break up ; which was accordingly thine. It may not be amiss to state, that no compromise can or will take place ; that the parties are botold over to attend at Dover on Wedne.sday next, when they remove the proceed ings to the King's Bench. Seijeant Baal', who leads this circuit, is retained, and the Life Guyer tors are resolved to take the sense of an impartial Jury upon the light of th e " Kentisil Alagistrates" to imprison them for near two hours, an d to•de nominate thein ". Vagrants," for asking on the OUTSIba Of the Churchyard GATES, such contri bution as should still enable the Directors to keep open the doors of their Infirmary tv the afflicted who resort the're for relief.—Mr. Starrat,the other Churchwarden, whose name was affixed to the " Vagrant Bill," protests against having given any consent whatever for his name to appear.— This extraordinary circumstance engrosses all the conversation, and leads us to believe it will be made matter for serious consideration at Dover; and at Maidstone.—j\ Ball, on a splendid scale, is announced for Tuesday next, at Hainsgate, in aid of the funds, and it is believed that upwards of 300 guineas is already forwarded to' the Lon don Directors, front the spirited exertions of the .visitors here. It is almost superfluous to add, the Vestry were unanlinons iu objecting to pay any part•of the \ expence of this prosecution. OcT.A2.--We have just learnt the result of the extra Meeting of the Court of Directors, add. yesterday at the London Tavern. It was resolved, that an official answer be forthwith printed to the Observations of the Rev. W. BAILEY, purporting to be his excuse for refusing the pulpit this sea son ; and, in the mean time, a resolution passed. unanimously by the Court. and was as unanimous ly.eonfirmed- afterwards by the half yearly Gene ral Meeting, that the cordial thanks of the Insti— tution be severally presented to the Gentleme❑ who kindly undertook to:hold the plates at the church-yard gates. • YOu shall know the result o f the, proceedings at Doter by the first post. It is not believed here, as a possible case, that a. true Bill eau . be found against these Gentlemen ; but you shall , be unformed of every thing. A RI - CH CUP OF TEA.-"The mistress of a shop in the neighbourhood of Red Lion-square, ex pecting a person, one day last, week, to call to be. paid a bill which was owing to him, took a Tea Pound Bank of England note out of the cash. box, in readiness ; the p erson , however, did not call, and she put the note into a Cliina teapot, which. stood in the parlour cop-board. On Sunday a few friends called in by chance to take a cup of tea—the best ware, as a Matter of course, was brought forward, and the company enjoyed their rcp.43r. ,The gervatit carried away the tea things,' washed, and put them by, before it ever struck the poor hostess, that her ten pound note was' gone, '` never to return." SiA mentioned the cir cumstance to her friends, who participated in her distress., One of die guests fortunately asked the servant where she had thrown the tea-leaves ? She said, " under the fire-place." A search was im mediately commenced, and, to the no small joy of the poor womtin, the note was found cotn mingled with the leaves, and not much damaged! BURQLARY AND SUPPOSED MURDER.—The in habitants of the pariah of Mary-le-bone have beers in considerable alarm since Thursday last, in con stquence of a report being iiteii•culation, that a woman and girl, left in care of the house, No. 19, Foley-place, had been murdered. The house in question was fitted up last spring as a lodging house, a nd was soon after taken by a famil y w h o were little known in the neighbo ur h oo d ; a f e w weeks back they went into the country, and since that period the tradesmen, &c. had no communi cation with the house, but an elderly woman anal 1, 1 girl were occasionally ;seen there, who \ were supposed.to be left in the care of the house. Last Thursday morning the area -gate and kitehen shutter was observed broken, and on further exa mination, it was found that all the furniture was taken away—even the Venetian blinds were taken from the windowS ; the persons before alluded to were also missing, and have not since been heard of. Hence itiwas inferred by some of the neighbours, that they were murdered, and their bodies carried away-by the robbers, DREADFULacci(ient h A i zn e n E e N (i T i h V o e u tl s nee dread fulstiloladysset(ei,p at a where a Captai n o f a W est Indianian in who had a black girl about 14 or 15 years of age liv ing with hint as a servant, who he had lately oc casion to punish for gross misconduct, since which she has been extremely sullen and perverse. —on Wednesday she was in a room occupied by her toaster (the Captain), in which were several fire-arms, anti had a little boy, the son of the landlord of the lipase, with her. After they had been there some time; the family were alarmed by the. discharge of tire-arms, which was found to proceed from the room where the girl-and boy were, and on entering it the little boy was disco vered to be shot in the most shocking manner by the black girl with a musket, which was ascer tained to have been loaded with broken type, &c: No cause was ascertained for the girl doing the dreadful act ; whether she knew the .gun was' loaded, or why she presented' it at the boy, it was not known. His head, and the upper part of his body presented a most shocking spectacle. A surgeon was sent for, who ascertained that one side of his h ea d was dreadfully injured, nearly all his teeth and nose on the same side carried away, and lacerated most shockingly. It will be consi dered a miracle if he survives.—On Thurday, the Captain and the black girl left the house, `37* -7
