Mr. Poole's new Comedy (taken, as usual, from the French, and re-baptized " The Wealthy Widow, or They're Both to Blame"), after having been long since hackneyed at the Haymarket, under a different title—alter et idenz—was brought out last night at this theatre. As far as acting is concerned the piece, we think, is improved, in every other respect it is inferior to its predecessor. We are really stir prized at the very little dramatic invention just now afloat in the world. There is positively not a gleam of genius among all our modern play-mongers. Messieurs Soane and Poole approach nearest to what may be called talent; but the one draws too much from a morbid sensibility, and the other from obsolete farces and small wits of a past age. —ln the present case the inventive parts of the Comedy, are—as we have observed—borrowed from the French, the wit is equally servile; for the joke which told best with the audience, was copied from no less notorious a work than Don Juan, where it is iliggested to an old man, that if he could pos sibly contrive to split his sixty years into two thirties, he would be infinitely more acceptable to a young wife. In the original, the words are (alluding to a husband of fifty), " And now I think on't, min viers in meate, T'were better to have two of five and twenty." As we have previously, in our observations of the Haymarket piece, given an analysis of the plot, we have nothing more to say on the present occasion, than that the two first acts went off tolerably well, amidst bustle and laughter, and something like the show of invention. The third . act, however, was intolerably dull, and so perfectly superfluous, that it clogged the piece, and even injured what little fa vour the two first acts might have acquired. We hope on a repetition of the piece that this evil will be amended. THE SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR, BY J. V. DOUVILLE, PaoFassoa OF TIE FRENCH LANGUAGE, No. 1, Soho-square, near the Bazaar; and 2, Lawrence-lane, Cheapside, London. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The French Language being , usually learnt with a view to conversation, a Grammar which would afford the Student an opportunity of acquir ing a c ollection of phrases necessary for conversa tion, while he gradually attains a thorough know ledge of the elementary principles of the language, could not fail to prove eminently serviceable. Such is the consideration' by which I have been influenced in presenting the public with this new production. My grand object has been to render the speaking of French as easy and familiar to English persons, as if they studied in Paris. To accomplish this great de sideratum, I have composed the essays on the rules of passages and sentences used in ordinary discourse. By construing them into French, the pupil will not only store his mind with useful expressions, but he will likewise insensibly imbibe just notions of the Grammatical technicalities of the language. Jor'his is of the utmost importance for speaking French ; for, unless the learner is properly trained up in the prac tical part, he will never be able to hold the least dis course with a native of France, although he may be a proficient in the theory.of the language. The na ture of the French Verbs is, also, exhibited in quite a new and clear Manner, and the remarks on pro nunciation are collected from the present practice of the fashionable circles in Paris. The work is con cluded by a Grammatical Analysis, and a Treatise on French Prosody arid Versification; besides a classified vocabulary, a compendium of familiar phrases, and numerous models of notes, letters of compliment and business. • In the execution of the whole, in short, the speaking of the language has a prominent feature ; and I flatter myself this Gram mar will be found peculiarly adapted to the capacity of the generality of learners, being divided into sixty easy lessons and essays, which still prove no less instructive than agreeable. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, London, Oct. 29, 1827. J. V. DOUVILLE. P.S. A Key to the Essays is just published. [We have carefully examined this Key to Mr. Douville's excellent Grammar, and can safely affirm that it is exe cuted with much fidelity and spirit. It forms a very useful accompaniment to the Grammar, rendering it com petent for those who choose to be self-taught in the French language, to make themselves masters of it without the assistance of a teacher. As such, we have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Douville's Grammar and Key as being the best calculated for speaking French, which we have hitherto seen.]—EnxTon. The Duke of CLARENCE arrived at his seat at Bu s hy .p ar k, His Royal on Saturday evening, from Portsmouth. Highness came to town yesterday morning, and transacted business at the Admiralty till five o'clock in the afternoon, when the Royal Duke left town on his return to Bushy. The CHANCELLO R of the EXCHEQUER ar rived at his residence in Downing -street yesterday morning, from his seat at Montreal. The Right Honourable Gentleman had afterwards a long interview with Viscount GOONarem. Count D'AGLIE, the Sardinian Minister, and M. ROTH, the French Charge d'Affaires, transacted busi ness yesterday •at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in Downing-street. Sir JAMES SCARLETT, the Attorney-Gene ral, and Sir NICHOLAS TINDAL, the Solicitor-General, transacted business yesterday at the Treasury. Mr. TIERNEY transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. The Countess of ESSEX had a select card party yesterday evening, at her house in Hill-street, Berkeley square. The London University proceeds rapidly ; the workmen being more than half-way up the principal story. Mr. Nicholson, Manager of the Theatre Royal, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, opened for the season on Monday, the 22(1 inst. with the play of " The Slave," Herr Cline's celebrated performances, and the farce of the Young Widow." MADAME • FEA.RON.—We are inclined to think that this singer, who used to be called some years back the English Catalani, will be found warbling in the Lane, and not in the Garden, as has been stated. Baon being consult e d b y t h e M anager as to r tvl ha lat ln tiress he intended to wear as Artabanes, in the Opera of Artaxerxes, observed—" As I mean to give the c h aracter a xew feature; I expect that you 'will give it a new dress." PARIS, OCT. 26.-A HAIR -BREADTH ESCAYE.—The tragedy of Jane Shore was repeated on Monday night, for the benefit of Mr. Abbott, and drew an overflowing house. Hastings (represented by Abbott) had newly come to a fatal termination of his career before the time allotted to him by the poet, as, in the third act, the actor, in the vehemence of his delivery, inhaled aliair of dm of his mustachios, which hair, unlike its namesake, seemed unwilling to return to its form, but took up a very unpleasant position in the throat, or some of the adjacent parts. The performance was, in consequence, interrupted, and for some ten or fifteen minutes the audience remained in a state of very anxious suspense, but;fortionately, the hair was dislodged—not by a pack of hounds, but a glass of sugar and water. The vintage on the Rhine commenced on the 13th inst. The accounts as to the produce are of a favourable description. The veil with which it is said the unfortunate Mary Stuart covered her head on the scaffold, after the executioner had wounded her in the shoulder by a false blow, is still in existence, and is in the possession of Si r J . C . Hippisley, who claims to be descended from the Stuarts by the mothei4 side. MOREAU'S WORK ON IRELAND. (From a Morning Paper.) There are some curious facts relative to the past and present state of Ireland, disclosed in the work of M. Moreau, of which we gave a brief account a few days ago. It is generally the cus tom in the - native writers on Irish affairs, to de claim on the mighty advantages which Ireland has lost by the Union, on the high position which she occupied before it took place, and the comparatively low one which she now fills. But the orators of the sister land cut by no means the same figure in the field of plain logical argu ment, that they do in that of rhetorical flourish. When those who would persuade Englishmen that Ireland was the most blessed place in the whole world, " let alone itself" previous to the year 1800, are asked in what their superiority then consisted, they will generally be found at a loss for an answer ; and when they call, as in their patriotic bursts they have some • times done, for a dissolution of the Union, as the great salve that is to heal all the ills to which the flesh of a Milesian is heir, they would he rather puzzled to designate the ill to which the sought-for remedy was to be adhibited, or the mode of its application. It is evident in deed, however men's pride or their prejudice may attempt to disguise the truth, that the union of a poor with a rich, of an ignorant with a learned, of a rude with a regulated country, cannot fail of being attended with great and solid advantage to the weaker and less valuable party in the compact. The same disinclination which which of ffi felt in Ireland to the Union of 1800, was felt iu Scot land to that of 1707 ; and the declamation of Belhaven on the latter occasion was but repeated on the former. The spirit of the Scotch Nobles was, of course, caught by the Commons ; and lie who, for some thirty years after the Union, should have mentioned it without a sigh or a curse would have been pointed to as unworthy of the lamented. Edinburgh began to creep southward and northward, at first slowly, then more rapidly ; her ways were made straight, and what was as important, clean ; and now she boasts herself to be a city of palaces. Leith began also to raise its head, as it felt the in fluence of increasing commerce. All along the east coast old towns increased, and new towns sprting up; and on the west, the straggling dirty village of Glasgow rose in a few years to be a city unrivalled in the north, and, with but one or two exceptions in the south, for magnitude, weath, and enterprise. The interior kept pace with the coast. Walls were reared, hedges were planted, improvement spread over the hitherto wild and savage landscape ; crops were rsised where marshes had stagnated ; the valleys were raised up and the hills made low, until the agri culturists of Scotland were fit to give lessons to the Southerns, who a few years before had been their instructors. Such have been the physical advantages of the Union to Scotland ; and it would require no great knowledge or argument to show that the moral advantages have been commensurate. How stands the case with Ire land ? We have not, indeed, a century and a quarter of experience to refer to in her case ; but the briefness of the period is in some -de gree compensated by the better auguries under which the Union was accomplished. In 1707, the prejudices of the English were nearly as powerful as those of their poorer neigh bours, and for many years these preju dices were allowed to operate in repressing the rising fortunes of Scotland. Mankind are now more advanced in knowledge, and though many cannot yet see that there is no such thing as exclusive good in the world, and that king doms, like individuals, if they wish to be happy or comfortable, must give as well as take, yet any thing like preference to one part of the same kingdom over another is now scouted by the most ignorant economists. The progress of Ire land has, therefore, been more rapid than that of Scotland was. Of this, as we stated in the commencement of these observations, M. Mo reau's tables afford some curious evidence. He has prepared two tables, for which we shall en deavour to find room on an early day, shewing the exports and imports of Ireland, in thirty-one articles, for twenty years before, and twenty years after 1800, with the decrease and increase on each. In the imports there are only five articles in which there is any decrease, namely, green tea, French; Portuguese, and Rhenish wines— of the last a very trifling decrease—and white salt. The salt has evidently de creased from the diminished demand for salted provisions c onsequent on the return to peace ; the decrease of wines depends on the presence in London of Irish gentlemen . duridg the Parlia mentary Session ; the diminished import of green tea is amply atoned for by the augmented consumption of black. The increase on some articles is very striking, and goes directly to prove that though, to the eye, in contemplating individuals or districts, no change is apparent, the condition of Ireland is progressively mending. Of black tea, as an instance in point, there were imported from 1780 to 1800, only thirteen mil lions of pounds, while, from 1800 to 1820, the quantity was sixty-five millions and a quarter. It is obvious that this vast addition to the luxuries of the people of Ireland cannot be ac counted for by the increase of the population, however great. In articles of convenience there is a corresponding increase. Of cotton hosiery there were imported, in the first period, three and a half millions of pairs ; in the second, eight millions. In the same way drapery goods have increased from twenty-three to fifty millions of yards, and earthenware from two hundred and sixty thousand pounds to a million and a half in value, a marked indication of an in creasing attention to cleanliness and com fort. In the exports the facts are equally satisfactory. As a proof of the vast advantage derived to Irish agriculture from the Union, we have only to notice the increased export of spirits. From 1780 to 1800 Ireland sent to England only 80,000 gallons ; from 1800 to 1820 she sent 10,250,000 ! In the export of beef, as might be expected, there is a falling off; but in bacon and hams there is an improvement of no less than 400 per cent. The export of oats has been doubled, that of wheat quadrupled. In short, in every•article, whether of export or import, which has a bearing on the comforts of the great mass of the people, and which indi cates improvement in their manner of living, there is a decided increase; and there is no decrease, except on. a few articleP, with which the mass of the people has .no concern, such as wines, or where the decrease, as in the case 'of salt beef; admits of being accounted for from very obvious causes.

He began his arduous task on the Milburn-road, at 12 o'clock noun on Monday last, and finished it with apparent ease at four o'clock yesterday af kternoon, three hours within time. The weather was un- Taiourable in the extreme, it rained incessantly all Monday 'night; yet Macmillan failed not in the slightest degree, and appeared as fresh at the conclusion of his walk as he was at the commencement. —lnverness Courier. WRESTLING. Yesterday afternoon a great number of persons were as sembled at the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road, to witness a wrestling match between Copp, a celebrated Devonshire wrestler, and Saunders, a Cornishman, also a noted wrestler, belonging to the Coldstream Guards. About four o'clock Saunders and Copp efitered the ring, and shook hands amidst the cheers of their respective partisans. They both had shoes and padding on ; betting was about even. About 1G minutes' play took place, when Copp won the first fall, though much disputed. Three foils after wards took place, mostly in favour of Saunders, as was the next fall, which made both the men equal, and betting than veered in favour of Saunders, who was the youngest man, Copp appearing to get tired; he was, however, gainer of the next and winning fall, and received loud ap plauses. Both of them kicked much, and, contrary to his county practice, the Cornishman appeared to administer most punishment that way.

THE MONTOO*ERYSHIRE GHOST• To a town not far from L 61341144 iu Montgo meryshire,a supervisor ofexcise, named Thomas, Was ordered some weeks back, to occupy the district of another supervisor, who had been shifted to another station, as is usual with the servants of the excise department; and, having a wife and children, he proceeded on first, in order to select a suitable house for his family. lie had never been in Walec before, and, consequently, he met with many inconveniences. The only house vacant was a large old mansion, which stood in decay, at the foot of a mountain ; and to this the supervisor was directed, as the only ha bitable place that was not occupied. On the - first view of. so large a house, all notion of becoming a tenant was abandoned; but as the place had a mys terious curiosity .about.it, the mansion being large, the garden being choked with 'weeds, the steps leading to the doors moss-grown, several ..of the windows being broken, and the whole having an air of grandeur in neglect, be was prompted to make inquiries : and an old man to whom he was referred as being the only owner as long as any neighbouy could remember, instantly offered to let him the mansion at the small rent of .5/. r-year. • The supervisor did not want so large a house; but as the lowness of the rent operated as an induce ment, he struck the bargain, got in a few little things until his wife should arrive with all the do mestic equipments of a family, and forthwith wrote off for her. The first night of his sojournment he lighted a fire to dispel the dampness, and having taken his cup of grog, he lay down and enjoyed an excellent night's rest. On rising in the morning, his first visit was to "a barber's shop in the town in order to get shaved, and there several persons in quired most earnestly how he had slept; and when he declared that he bad never enjoyed a better night's rest in his life, every one seemed amazed. The mystery was • now dispelled, and his eyes were opened by being Informed the el Tee GWyn, or White House" as the mansion lOW called, bad been haunted for fifty years back. The supervisor laughed • at this notion, and avowed his otter disbelief in ghosts. He spent, however, the greater part of the day in rummaging the vaults and every hiding-place, but without discovering any thing. - As night ad vanced, be threw an extra log on the fire, and hav ing borrowed a chair in the town, he sat himself down before it, ate his bread and cheese, and sipped his cup amid various ruminations. At one time be thought This situation rather dangeronsin the event of his suspicions being true, there was no assistare— at hand. He might have his throat cut from ear to ear, and his body thrown into a tub, while his wife and family would be none the wiser. Fears of the living, more than the dead, flitted in sudden flashes across his brain, and at length he resolved, in case ht heard, any thing going on, to remain as quiet as possible, and senu all the information he could to the head of his department. • He could•see by his watch that it was nearly twelve o'clock, bat " Na ture's fond nurse" had' forsaken him, and he felt no inclination to sleep. .On a sudden he heard footsteps on the staircase, and he felt or thought he felt his hair lift his hat in voluntarily, at least an inch off his forehead. His heart fluttered, the to did not seem to blaze so bright; he listened anxiously, but he After abiding his fancy for frightening hitn,'he mus tered courage enough to open the door, which he left in that state, and 'then betook himself to his couch, after a paralytic sort of a poke at the fire. Scarce had the first doze relaxed his limbs when lie was awakened by a strange clattering on the stair case, as if ten thousand imps were ascending to his room! In the panic of the moment he jumped up, rushed to the land-place, where he distinctly heard the said imps clatter down the broad staircase again, making faint shrieking cries, which died away with the sounds of their footsteps as they seemed to gain the vaults beneath the house. On his visit to the town that morning, the previous day's inquiries were repeated ; but he strenuously denied having becu listurbed, for fear he should be *meat a coward. Toward& the next evening, lie deterthined to ascer tain whether anything really did' ascend the Stair- . case, or whether it •was Mere fatter aid., for . this • purpose, he ,mirokd a thick ooat of . ' sand, on, every step, imagining ; shrewdly enough, that if his ter, mentors were -really substantial, they 'roust leave some tracks behind.them. • The next-pight was ac companied by , the same extraordinarrnoises s but the supervisor had provided . himself with pistols, and being doubly armed with a lamp also, he pro ceeded down stairs as fast as he could. The 'imps, however, were too nimble for him, and he could not even get a glimpse of them. . Again did he search in every hole and corner, disturbing the poor *spiders with the blaze of his lamp ; and finding his scrutiny in vain, he was retracing his steps, when be recol lected the sand, which, in his terrified descent, he had forgotten ; when, lo ! and behold! he perceived some five or six hundred cloven tracks! They were too small for old devils, and much too large for rats, and therefore he concluded they must be super natural beings of some sort. All the day long his brain was racked with conjectures as to the species of creature that could. have disturbed his quiet. He had given up' every idea that rats could have made such a noise or tracks so large, but he deter mined to try if a few rat-traps could solve the mystery. Accordingly, he procured six, which were all that he could get, and on, the, fourth night care, fully set them in a rove on the staircase. About. the mystic hour of twelve, he again heard the devils jumping or hopping, as it seemed, up the stairs, and while he cocked one of the pistols. he heard a trap go off, then another, succeeded by appalling shrieks and the same clattering noise down stairs again. He proceeded to the spot, and there to 11:s infinite asto nishment he found, not a devil, not an imp, not any thing supernatural, but three fine fat, rabbits, caught by the legs in the traps. The simple fact was, that the inhabitants of an adjoining rabbit warren used to make their way up through the sewers into the de serted mansion : and their gambols through the empty rooms first gave rise to the story of the" Tee Gwynn" being haunted. It is needless to add, that Mr. Thomas forthwith sent for his family, and they now enjoy a house and as many rabbits as they cap eat for five pounds a year. At the late Sessions dinner, the nobs of our Corporation had well nigh fell to loggerheads ; a challenge at fisty-cuffs, it is said, was actually given by one Alderman, but not being.accepted, the matter ended in a mere pot-house .

SHOPLIFTING EXTRAORDINARY.A ~fc tv days since a person in the garb of a gentlemin, and bearing his Majesty's commission, which he should have better honoured, went about' mid day into the, shop of a broker in this city, and imagining that no one saw him, he took a pair salt-cellars, t-1 la r a s r , t e a o s sec re ted e g re j s te s d s and a piece of them about his p a ers gss o la n; another music, were also pocketed ; at length a carpet bag struck his fancy, which he tried to ct, , _1 under his coat, but upon buttoning it over a tion of it was visible ; unwilling, however, to give up his prize he ventured upon loosening his braces for the purpose of more securely hiding it ; at this unfortunate moment some ladies en tered the premises, the pilferer drop' the bag, and was leisurely taking his departure, when the shopman, who had been in a remote corner, and had witnessed the whole transaction in a mi • rror, advanced and reminded the gentleman that 4 , Q had about him property not his own. At first it was stoutly denied, but the facts appearing too evident, the articles were dislodged, and we re gret to say, the ends of u d- 8 ---0 frustrated, the felony being compromise by the broker's ac.' cepting the amount of the stolen property. — Exeter Gazette. , ~ i'i
