DuOltn Evening Post, Oct. 29.) THE THEATRES. DRIIII.Y.LANE.—The Comedy of The Confe deracy was revived last night at this Theatre, a circumstance that rather surprised us, as it is a drama based on roguery, and, though much of its obscenity has been expunged, yet a profligate air is diffused over the whole composition. It ad mits indeed of good acting, but great comic ta lents are misemployed and debased by the per formance of its characters. The piece certainly possesses humour, att . (' a sprinkling of wit, but the characters in general are so low, or unprinci pled, that it certainly is not adapted to the im provement of public taste since it was originally brought forward.—As the Managers think proper to convert some of the best plays of SHAKSPEARE into operas, a profanation that ought never to have been tolerated, they might surely have reduced The Confederacy into a Farce, and then the Galleries would be recompensed for the want of a due understanding of any more refined dramatic work that preceded it. The play, however, such as it is, was well represented. DowToN's Money trap was very entertaining, but marked by too liquorish a demeanour in some parts. WILLIAMS, the new performer, gave sufficient force to the anger of Gripe. But why these two old men should appear in the costume of a distant period, while all the rest of the characters are in modern attire, we leave the Managers to determine.- 141ppanta, the longest character of the comic drama, was supported with unabated spirit by Mrs. DAvlsoN. It was impossible for Corinna to be given with more truth, vivacity, and humour, than by Miss KELLY. HARLEY was lively and waggish in Brass, and if PENLEY did not reach to the full standard of Dick, yet he supported the part in a manner that did not detract from the general impression of the piece. Clarissa and Araminta had adequate justice from Mrs. YATEs and Miss E. PATON, nor should the Mrs. Andet of Mrs. HARLowe pass without a commendatory notice. The house was tolerably well attended, and the piece altogether well received. SADLER'S WELLs.—This Theatre closed on Monday last, after a most successful Season, with the following Address, which was spoken by Mr. T. DIBDIN, and highly applauded : _ . " LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—This being the last night of the season I am deputed by the Proprietors to present their sincerely respectful acknowledgements for the generous liberali ty with which you have met their endeavours for your entertain ment—a support which will stimulate them to fresh exertions to merit its continuance. " Prior to the commencement of the present season the Pro. prietors expended a sum exceeding 3,0001. on the improvement and embellishment of the Theatre, and in obedience to the wishes of their patrons opened their door at half-price, awl now, encouraged by your kindness, it is their intention to re open the Theatre at Christmas, and employ every opportunity afforded by the short intervening vacation of adding still further to the comfort, accommodation, and warmth of their winter visitors. " The Performers, Ladies and Gentlemen, desire also to ex press their grateful sense of your countenance and support, in which acknowledgments I respectfully beg to join, soliciting permission in your presence, to offer my individual thanks to every performer and artist who have been my fellow-labourers in this vineyard, and through whose co-operative zeal and ta lent I have been enabled to place before you twenty Dramatic attempts, which have been favoured by the distinguished ho nour of your approval. " And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, in the names of the Proprietors, Performers, and humbly in my own, I am to hid you a respectful farewell, wishing you health and happiness, till, at the exhilarating time of Christmas, the Proprietors of the Islington Stage shall endeavour to attract as many insides as possible, and our conjoined mite of professional merriment shall be added to the usual compliments of the season." A new tragedy under the title of SARDANAPA LUS has been accepted by the Covent-Garden Managers. It was a bold attempt after a work by Lord BYRON on the same subject. The drama, however, which has been accepted is said to abound in poetical energy, and to have been written by a young Gentleman of most promising abilities. IdsTo - N's Paul Pry has attracted more graphic notoriety than most of his characters, as there is hardly a print-shop in the Metropolis that does not present that whimsical Actor in one or other scene of this ludicrous performance. Far.scu IhNutrrh—lt was reported at Lyons that two famous robbers, Filhol and Giovini. whom the police of that city had arrested, had made their escape, one from Rheims, and the other from Roaniie. A Lyons paper gives the following account of the plans of operation pur sued by the bands of which Filhol and Giovini formed a part :----" These men seldom seek as. sistance from the inhabitants of the place they intend to rob ; they almost always previously re connoitre the intended house, by pretending to want change for money. The knowledge of the localities they thus obtain is quite sufficient for them. Upon a given notice their companions, who are dispersed in the neighbouring towns, as semble at an appointed place. Their horses are left under the care of one of their number, and as soon as the robbery has been committed, or failed in the execution, they return to their horses and gallop to a town a good distance off, sometimes sCO much as thirty leagues, where they divide the booty, if they happen not to have done it immediately after the robbery : they then separate. When they form the design of plundering a house which seems to them unin habited, in order to assure themselves of the fact, they tie a thread to the knocker or latch, or make some other mark known only to themselves. If after a few days the thread, or other mark, has not been disturbed, they conclude it is uninha bited, and take means to plunder it. These fel lows have generally paper money about them, that may enable them to escape in time of need, besides the usual instruments employed in escapes about their persons. They dexterously hide files and saws in their clothes, the soles of their shoes, the collars of their shirts, and in their cravats, in their hats and caps, and even in their buttons. Some of them have tobacco boxes with false bot toms, containing bank-bills and files. When they arc arrested, no means are left untried for them to escape ; and unless extraordinary pre. cautions are taken, it is almost impossible to keep them in prison. Filhol gave out before his escape that he would soon be free. When they cannot escape either by their own or their friends' ingenuity, they have recourse to corruption, and do not spare money. if they cannot succeed by that means, they hazard life itself, as did Giovini in the prison of Ronne." ANECDOTES, &c. _.—......... RHYNSAULT, Governor of Guelders, for Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, had cast into prison Paul Danvelt, upon a charge which he knew to be groundless. Sapphira, the wife of Danvelt, brought the Governor to save her hus band, and yielded to the wishes of Rhynsault, to obtain the object of her prayers, but the base wretch did not srcuple to violate a promise so dearly bought, and even put his prisoner to death. Sapphira, nearly mad with grief, laid her complaint at the feet of Charles the Bold. This Prince, justly shocked at such cruelty and lust, sent for Rhynsault. When the latter saw his deluded victim in the presence of his master, he dreaded the consequences of hi crime, and offered his hand to Sapphira, as the only repara tion in his power. Charles persuaded her, though with great difficulty, to comply. The Duke having, moveover, induced the Governor to be queath the whole of his property to his lady upon his demise, then put Rhynsault to death. CANNON BALLS.-Previous to 1418 iron balls were not used for cannon, as iu that year there is an order extant for making at Maidstone in Kent 7,000 stone bullets for the King's ordnance. • CATTLE AND CORN.--COWS in 1425 were va lued at about fifteen modern shillings each. In 1425 there was a bad season ; wheat sold as'high as 13s. 4d. modern money per quarter. It soon however fell to 10s., which seems to have been nearly the medium price of that commodity. SERVANTS' WAGES.—ID 1447, or about that period, the following were the usual wages for servants, reckoned in the money for the age, which was exactly twice the weight of that in use in the 18th century :—Chief carter 1/. a year and diet, with 4s. for cloths. Common husband man 15s. a year with diet, and 4s. for cloths. Women servants 10s. and diet, with 4s. for cloths. Bailiff of husbandry IL 3s. 4d. wages yearly, diet, and 4s. for cloths. SIIERIDAN.—The following anecdote of SHERI DAN, the authenticity of which is undoubted, is not, we believe, generally known : at any rate, it seems not to have been known to Mr. Moore. Soon after the marriage of Sheridan with Miss Hester Ogle, they went on a visit to her father, the Dean of Winchester. During their stay at the Deanery, a party met there one evening, the " lion" of which was a kind of musical genius—the fife-major of a regiment quartered in the town. \frith this man's talents and performance on several instru ments, Miss Ogle, the elder sister of Mrs. Sheridan, was more than commonly delighted, and expressed her approbation and applause with all that vivacity and energy which was natural to her character. Sheridan's attention was soon attracted to wards her—" Look at Susan," said he, " she is quite in rap. tures—give me a pencil and a scrap of paper." In a moment' he produced the following impromptu : By heaven above, our Suke's in love, And nothing can assuage her; She's form'd a plan for that smart man, I mean that gay Fife-major. But hark ! again that merry strain— Now I'll bet any wager; That overture has made it sure -I wish you joy, Fite-major. This was voted capital, and carried in high glee to the Dean, who, though as fully alive to the wit and talent of Sheridan as any body, might have been as well pleased, perhaps, had his daughter selected a more prudent partner—" Give me the paper a moment," said the Dean, when he had heard the lines, and immediately after addressed himself to the laughing circle, saying, " Now hear my stanza— Her mother cries, with weeping eyes, I wish she had been sager ; But since 'tis done, and you're my son, God bless you both, Fife-major." At the same time extending one hand towards the unconsciou, Fife-major, and the other towards Sheridan, so as to includ theta both in the same benediction. She then did n o t muc h relish the implied association. As the Two SEXES in ancient GREECE had but ,little communication with each other, and a lover was seldom therefore favoured with an opportunity of making known his passion to his mistress, he used to discover it by inscribing her name on the walls of his house, on the barks of the trees, in public walks, or in the leaves of books. It was customary also for him to deck the doors of the house where his fair one lived, with flowers and garlands; to make libations of wine before it, and to sprinkle the entrance with the same liquor. Garlands were of great use among the Greeks in the affairs of love. When a man untied his garland, it was a declaration of his having been subdued by that passion ; and where a woman composed a garland, it was a tacit confession of the same thing. NOVEL ItECOMMENDATION.—One day, wheat the late Lord Chancellor THuni.ow was busily engaged, a poor Curate applied to him for a living, which was then vacant. " Don't trouble me," said the Chancellor, turning from him, with a frowning brow, " don't you see lam busy, and can't listen to you ! what Duke or Lord recommended you ?"—The poor Curate lifted his eyes, and in a tone of dejection, said he had no Lord to recommend him but the Lord of Hosts."— " The Lord of Hosts !" replied the Chancellor, " the Lord of Hosts I believe I have had recommendations from most Lords, but do not recollect ore from him before, and so do you hear, young man, you shall have the living; and be careful so to conduct yourself as not to disgrace your recommendation." Mr. J. VINING, who has recently appeared with some success at the Haymarket Theatre, has been offered an engagement at Drury-Lane Theatre, which he has declined, alledging that the terms were inadequate. EFFECTS OF THE GALE.-Between two and three o'clock this morning a tremendous gale of wind commenced from the N.W. at times veering to the northward, accompanied by slight showers, and continued during the remainder of the night without ceasing, blowing from the same quarter. Its effects have been very alarming in different parts of the metropolis, and in the Parks several trees have been blown down. In Philip's-place, Burton-crescent, a stack of chimneys were blown down, but fortunately no person was injured. In Catherine-court, St. Clement's Inn, a chimney tumbled through an old building, and injured se verely an inmate of one of the attics. The other casualties caused by the gale were nume rous in every part of the metropolis. FlRE.—East night, about twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in the workshop of Mr. HAspER, brush maker, North-street, Holborn, and continued raging through the building for above half an hour before any effectual means could he adopted for stopping it. At length, however, a plentiful supply of water being obtained, the flames were subdued ; having destroyed the en tire range of workshops and a most valuable stock of fancy articles in Mr. }Jasper's business. He is insured. No greater proof need be given of the enor— mous bulk and strength of the Elephant at Exeter 'Change, than when, some time ago, it was thought necessary to give him some physic, he took the amazing quantity of thirty pounds of glauber salts, six ounces of calomel, one ounce and a half of tartar emetic, six drams of gamboge, and a bottle of croton oil, in the space of 52 hours, without producing any effect. The weight of food given to him daily is upwards of eight hundred pounds. OLD BAlLEY—('ruis DAY.) S ENT ENCES.-T he Sessions closed this morning, when the awful sentence of death was passed on no less than 14 unhappy culprits, viz. twelve men and two women. Five were sentenced to be transported for life, four for fourteen years, and upwards of thirty for seven years. The remainder were sentenced to various periods of imprison ment, and the usual scene of public castigation having been gone through, the Sessions adjourned. —The London Adjourned Sessions take place un Saturday.
