Extract from the Agent to Lloyd's at Antigua, dated August 26 : —" The master of the schooner Psyche arrived here the 23d instant, who states that a violent gale was experienced at the island on the 15th : it commenced at two P. 31. ; through the day, from N.E., varied to S.W. during the night, and continued most part of the follow ing day. A Dutch brig, which arrived on the 14th instant, with an asserted cargo, said to be from Hamburg, was wrecked on Prince Rupert's Rock ; two schooners, (one of them from Demerara), and two sloop (supposed French), were driven on shore. The master of a vessel, arrived here from St. Kitt's, states that a severe gale was experienced there on the 14th and 15th instant; and the schooner Royal William, from Halifax, and the Dragher, Governor Maxwell, with ten hhds. of sugar on board, were lost.

Robert Smith, a respectably dressed mechanic, was charged with stealing two pairs of trousers, the property of Mr. Down, tailor, Strand. Lines Mattison said he was shopman with the prose cutor. He was in the shop this morning at half-past nine o'clock, when the prisoner entered and took two pairs of trousers from the stand, with which he ran off. Witness pursued him, and when the prisoner saw that he was pursued be threw the trousers from him. He had never lost sight of him. A constable met him and took him into custody. Police constable F 23, saw the prisoner running down the Strand followed by the last witness, calling out " Stop thief." He took him into custody, when he was charged with the felony. The prisoner merely said he had had a glass too much. He was fully committed. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Philadelphia papers to Sept. 13, Baltimore to Sept. 12, and New Brunswick to Sept. 6, have been received at the North and South America❑ Coffee-house. They do not contain any news of consequence. The Philadelphia papers contain an article respecting the state Bank of that city (the Phomix), which was the only one in the habit of discounting paper to the extent of one half of the amount of its capital, which is 2,500,000 dollars. The Boston paper states some regulations with the trade of St. Croix, i❑ respect to shipping—that all vessels, without distinction, Danish or Foreign, bound there from Danish ports, in virtue of an ordinance, are to have free admittance. Letters have been received from Jamaica, four days later than the last accounts, of the 21st August. At that period all was tranquil there, and the packet was to sail on the 3d of September. A gale of wind has been experienced at Antigua, bu we do not learn that it has done much dam Ige. THE FUNDS. At length the death of the King of Spain is officially announced, and the Queen of Spain appointed Regent with four other persons. France has already sent to ac knowledge the Regency, and we have no doubt that Eng land will follow the same course. Still a wide field of speculation will remain open, and we suspect that Bour mont knew that Ferdinand was on the point of death, before he gave in his resignation to Don Miguel. If we are well informed, he, with several of his officers, were on board the Asia, in the Tagus, when the last accounts left Lisbon ; but up to the present hour we have no confirmation on that Subject. We expect soon to hear that Don Catlos has hoisted the standard of civil war in Spain, and, no doubt, will be joined by a strong party. We also suspect that France is on the qui vice ; and should Don Carlos succeed in his attempt, France will immediately march a strong force to the succour of the Queen of Spain. We are again upon the eve of some important events, although, by the last accounts, all was tranquil at Itladrid.

Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Sept. 25 :—" Yesterday, there was a grand review of the army Col. Evans, M.P., was present, and remarked that h e never was more astonished in his life, than to see the order that both the regular corps and volunteers were in. He said, that General Bourtnont, with 30,000 men, could never enter Lisbon, after the way they bad fortified it, and with the people they bad to defend it. The Emperor, as usual, is most active at the lines every morning by four or five o'clock, even yesterday morning being the first after the Empress's arrival at the palace, after an absence of 20 months from her loving husband, who, in the midst of his difficulties at Oporto, devoted an hour every day to write to the Duchess.—Yesterday morning, his Imperial Majesty was on the lines at five o'clock. The nest news which reaches you from this quarter will bring you that of Don Miguel's army being entirely broken up.

(THIS DAY ) (Before B. ROTC'', Esq., Chairman, and a Bench of County Magistrates.) Robert Williams, a waterman, was indicted with steal. iag, on the 15th July, two sculls and two oars, the pro perty of Mr. Lyon the boat-builder. . _ William Hobbs, a person in the employ of Mr. Lyon, stated that they had latterly been in the habit of losing oars and sculls ; in July last they lost upwards of 20 pair a-week. The prisoner always bad the run of Mr. Lyon's premises, being connected with a steam vessel which Mr. Lyon repaired. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner in conse quence of his having sold a plir of sculls to a Mr. Easton, which Mr. Lyon identified as his property. W. Judd, who took the prisoner in custody, stated that in questioning the prisoner as to bow he became possessed of the sculls, he said he had borrowed them of Mr. Lyons. Mr. Lyons LIM, that he never b-nt the prisoner the sculls. The prisoner said that in July last he discovered a boat and sculls adrift. He made all inquiries 49 to the owner of them, and being unable to find him out, he sold the sculls, being in great distress. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner was then again indicted for stealing a boat, of the value of 10/ , the property of Mr. Lyon. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty on this charge, and The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to seven years' trans portation. John March was indicted with stealing five sovereigns and a half crown, the property of Charles Broad, from his person. It appeared, from the statements of the prose. cutor, that he employed the prisoner to assist him in spreading ashes in Bushy Park. After they had done work they went to the Three Compasses public.house, at Hampton Wick, where the prosecutor discovered he had lost his money. The prisoner was afterwards discovered dead drunk by a policeman, whose friend he charged with robbing hint of four sovereigns and some silver. The policeman thought it was rather singular that a person like the prisoner should have so much money to lose, and took him into custody. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing, but not from the person. The COURT sentenced him to seven years' transportation. Tames Murphy was convicted of stealing a surloin of beef, and, being an old offender, was sentenced to seven years' transportation. Eleanor Shore, a young girl, was indicted with steal ing a boa, the property of her master, MORes So!omons, a furrier, and Ann Jones with receiving the same, know ing it to be stolen.—The Jury Acquitted both prisoners. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The vessels have recently been kept back by contrary winds and foggy weather, but the change of last week brought up a very large supply of most kinds of grain, which rendered the trade extremely dull, and prices declined. This morning the market, with the fresh arrivals, exhibited a great quantity of samples of most descriptions of corn, and the weather being remarkably fine, seemed to deprive the buyers of their usual spirit to purchase. The general runs of new wheat may be re ported dull, 2s, per qr. cheaper than on this day sen'night, and even eld met a limited demand at less value. Barley also has declined 2s. to :Is. per qr., except for elect samples. Beans re main heavy at a further abatement of Is. per qr. Oats, though not plentiful, partake of the general dullness, and have hardly maintained last week's quotations. The demand for flour is limited at the terms last stated.

The first part was read by the Rev. J. GORE; the communion service by the Dean of WINDSOR, and the Rev. Mr. PROSY preached an excellent sermon from the 10th chapter of Hebrews, verse 31. The anthem, " Lord of all power and might"—MAsoN. Mr. SKEATS presided at the organ. This afternoon his MAJESTY took a short drive in a close carriage, accompanied by Lady SYDNEY. Her MAJESTY, attended by several of the Court, walked to Adelaide Lodge. To-morrow their MAJESTIES will lunch at Kew, and return to the Castle to dinner. Princess AUGUSTA has been suffering the last fortnight froui an attack of rheumatic gout, but we are happy to announce that her Royal Highness is fast recovering. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. The Marchioness of Wellesley and Miss Caton, at the Cla. rendon Hotel, New Bond street, from Stonehaven, N.B. ; the Earl of Essex, in Belgrave.square, from Leamington Spa ; the Earl and Countess Howe, at Windsor Palace, from Gospal Hall; Lord Molineux, at the Earl of Sefton's seat, Stoke Park, from Croxteth Hall, near Liverpool; the Duke of Norfolk, at Farnham St. Genevieve, from Arundel Castle; the Duke of Grafton, at Euston Hall, near Thetford, from Newmarket; W. J. Denison, Esq., M.P., at Denbies, Dorking, from the Conti nent ; Sir Charles, Lady, and Miss Cockerill, in Piccadilly, from ditto; Mrs. Randall and family, at St. James's Hotel, Jermyn-street, from Hastings ; the Rev. T. F. Foord Bowes, at ditto. DEPARTURES. Sir Henry and Lady Pymm, from Marlborougli.place, Brighton. Orders were received on Saturday at the apartments of the Duchess of Kent, Kensington-gardens, to postpone their being got ready for her Royal Highness and the Princess Victoria, as they intend to continue a fortnight longer in the country in consequence of the very favourable weather; and directions were received at the same time to have the apartments painted throughout, for which purpose 30 painters are to be employed forthwith. A letter of the 2d inst. from Calais, announces that the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, with Prince George, and a suite of 20 persons, arrived there on that day, at noon, on board the English Government steamer Lightning. The Royal party were to continue their journey for Prussia on the following day by way of Valen ciennes. —s, —s. 278 345. 345. 375. An unfounded statement has appeared relative to preparations making for the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at their town residence in Picea dilly. The story is a complete fabrication : no prepara tions have been made in Cambridge House; neither is it at all probable that the Duchess would undertake the journey from Hanover in her present situation. The Duke of Beaufort is at present on a visit to George Finch, Esq., M.P., at Burley on the Hill, Rut landshire. The Duke of Rutland and the Marquis of Granby are at present sojourning at Belvoir Castle, where they daily take the exercise of shooting. Lady Adeliza Manners is also at Belvoir. The Duke de Montfort (Jerome Bonaparte), it appears, is about to fix his residence at Stuttgard, as he has just bought an hotel in that capital. The Earl of Eldon, Sir R. Peel, and the Marquis of Chandos, came to town suddenly and unex pectedly to take leave of the Duke of Cumberland, previ ously to his departure for Berlin. These persons were not included in the invitations to the grand banquet given by the Duke of Wellington at Walmer Castle to the Royal Duke and his Conservative friends the day before he left England. Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot were, however, at the feast. THE WILL OF THE LATE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND.—The will and three codicils of the Right Hon. George Granville Leveson Gower, Duke of Sutherland, have been proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, by the oath of his eldest son, the present Duke, who is the sole executor. The personal effects of the Noble Duke have been sworn as amounting to more than one million sterling. Therefore, in conformity to the Act of Parliament regulating the probate and administration duties, the maxi mum being one million, all sums beyond that amount are not subject to probate duty. Within the last few years there have been several instances in which a large property has escaped without being subject to this tax. For instance, the late Mr. Runde!l died worth about 1,200,0001. personal property, hut the representatives only paid duty upon one million ; and the property of the late Sir Robert Peel was similarly situated. After providing for the Dowager Duchess, and the other parts of his femily, together with his servants, his Grace bequeaths the residue of his estate to his eldest son, the present Duke. York House, the property of his Grace, is entailed upon the Marquis of Stafford. MISS SMITHSON'S MARRIAGE.--Last s T m hu it r h sd so a n y , o w f a t s he m E a n ried at h English Theatre t eßr at Paris, t ta ill. Berlioz, Embassy, e i fis s o z whose high reputation as a musical composer has been established by many superior works, particularly his over ture of the Francs Juges. The Rev. J. R. Major, of King's College, who resigned his pretensions to the Stamford Free School, in consequence of the dispute between the Mayor and the Master of St. John's College, Cambridge, has become a candidate for Norwich Grammar School. APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE. --A marriage is understood to be in contemplation between the Hon. Henry Wellesley, eldest son of Lord Cow?ey, and the Hon. Olivia Cecilia De Roos, Maid of Honour to the Queen. This young lady is second daughter of the late Lord Henry Firl - gerald and 13ironess De Roos, in whose favour the Barony was called out of abeyance in 1506, and sister to the present Lord. The marriage will be solemnized here, and after the ceremony the bride and bridegroom will depart for Stuttgard, to which place Mr. Wellesley was recently appointed Secretary of Legation. A splendid trousseau for the bride elect, at the expense of her Majesty, has been for some time in preparation by a celebrated modiste of Grosvenor-street. It is understood to be the etiquette of the Court, on the marriage of the Maids of Honour, for the Queen to present them with a liberal sum for the bridal outfit. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, having announced their intention of visiting the Royal Clarence Victualling Esta blishment at Weovil, in order to see the whole process of baking biscuit s f or the Navy, as also of witnessing the gun practice on board his Majesty's ship Excellent, fixed Friday for that purpose, an d, t h e weather prov i ng delightfully propitious, Ibis charming seaport, which can boast of more attraction than any in the kingdom, was again all bustle and animation--visiters to witness the gay scene pouring in from all directions. At eleven o'clock a Guard of Honour from the Royal Marinei, with their King's colours, under the command of Captain Menzies, K.H., marched into the dockyard, and took post at the King's Stairs, followed by all the troops in the garrison, forming an avenue from thence to the house of the Admiral Super intendent, Sir Frederick Maitland. Shortly after eleven o'clock the Emerald yacht, bearing the Royal Standard, and towed by the Messenger steamer, passed up the har bour ; the 'Victory and other ships of war, as they passed, manned yards and cheered. Their Royal Highnessee a accompanied by the Heads of Departments, landed, and in•pected very minutely the whole of that extensive esta blishment, with which they expressed themselves much gratified ; and having re-embarked in the Admiral's barge, crossed the harbour, and landed at the King's Stairs, where they were received by the Guard of Honour, and b e i n g handed to their carriages proceeded to the house of Sir Frederick Maitland, where a sumptuous dejeune a la fourchette was provided, and to which, independent of Sir John and Lad y C onroy, and others of their Royal H i gh_ nesses' suite, were invit e d th e L a d y o f t h e C omman d er i n C Ca !

Williams, Michael Seymour, Hastings Jones, Mundy, and Skyring, Mr. Williams, Secretary to the Commander in Chief, Captain Menzies, K. H., and the officer, of the Guard of Honour, who were severally' introduced to their Royal Highnesses; after which the Royal cortege again drove to the King's Stairs, where they were similarly received ; and, re-embarking, proceeded to witness the gun practice on board his Majesty's ship Excellent. On their Royal Highnesses' departure for Norris C stle at four o'clock, a Royal salute was fired from the Excellent, which ship was fitted up expressly for the recen'ion of the illustrious party.—Hampshire Telegraph The present volume of the Standard Novels, thanks to the discrimination of the publisher, contains a most spirited translatson of Victor Hugo's celebrated Romance " Notre Dame de Paris." Why it should be called " The Hunchback of Notre Dame," we do not know. For power this work has few equals. The materials are strange, but a master's hand has the disposi tion of them. Victor Hugo is among novelists what our Martin is among pointers; both can make a mere crowd sublime—aboth animate mere masses of masonry. Hugo likes to choose extreme cases of human nature ; Martin chooses the great and singular epochs of history; and no artists ever struck out more vivid ideas of terrific but momentary states of natural or social existence. Not less than 150,000 volumes of the Standard Novels have been circulated. We do not wonder at this result when such a production as " Notre Dame de Paris," neatly printed and illustrated, may be purchased for six shillings. The following is a letter from a correspondent of Boulogne-sur-Mer :—" A great number of the English residents at Boulogne, on being informed of Lord Palmer ston's approbation of the Consul's proceedings in conse quence of the official report of Captain Chads, waited upon him to express their gratification on the occasion It is a tribute of justice due to Mr. Hamilton to add, that his services, in the rigid discharge of his duty, are as duly appreciated at the Foreign-office, as is his private character as a gentleman, by all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance. As a corroborative proof, if any were wanting, to show the high estimation in which Mr. Ha mifton's character is held, I might adduce the singular instance of the English prisoners in the Haute Ville, who, on learning that Lord Palmerston had fully approved the Consul's conduct, addressed a letter to him, expressive of the satisfaction they derived from his honourable exonera tion from the charges against him." On Saturday afternoon, Captain Symes, one of Don Pedro's agents, attended at the King's Heal, Or chard-street, Broadway, Westminster, to engage a number of men as non-commissioned officers for the service of Donna Maria, the young Queen of Portugal. Captain Symes examined all the applicants at some length as to their qualifications. He selected about 50 of the most experienced and intelligent men, all of whom had been in the English army, and appointed them sergeants and cor. porals. The sergeants are to receive 2/. 15s. per month, and the corporals 21. 10s. A number of highly respecta ble young men have volunteered their services without any pay, and many persons have applied for commissions in her Majesty's service. Some officers of experience have had commissions granted to them. Cautain Symes, after having enrolled the non-commissioned officers, briefly addressed them, and particularly recommended sobriety, and obedience to the orders of their superiors. The Captain then gave notice, that on Monday he should be prepared to enlist as many privates as he could procure, to form another detachment, who would be sent out to Lisbon about .the end of the ensuing week. In 1767 there were not 30,000 persons em ployed in the cotton manufacture; now, in cons, quenee of inventions which the workmen at the very time of their introduction endeavoured to destroy, there are at least a million.—lmperial Magazine. WORCESTER CONSTITUENCY.—According to the town clerk's lists of electors for the city of Worcester, there are 1,657 on the freemen's list and 1,255 on the parish lists—total, 2,912, which exceeds the number of last year's registration by 549. BALLYSHANNON CORPORATION. -- On Tuesday se'nnight the Commissioners commenced their inquiries at Ballyshannon. Colonel Conclly was the principal witness, and seems to have given his evidence with much candour. He stated " there is no Provost now or other corporate officer in the borough ; he believes the population of Ballyshannon is on the increase, and the trade improving." CAUTION.—A man, about five feet five or six inches high, having the appearance of a ticket-porter, dressed in a blue coat with gilt buttons, and wearing a abort white apron, is in the habit of calling at gentle men's houses with parcels, for which be charges porter age, pretending to be sent from the White Horse Cellar coach-office. The parcels generally contain an old news paper, or a few rags. " After all," says Lady Morgan, speaking of the state of Ireland, " our first and most urgent want is a breathing time from fictiona moment of repose—a suspension of blood spilling and destruction of property—of the property of the poor, more than of the rich—a leisure to think, to calculate, to learn and to labour." A large fossil reptile of the antediluvian age, was on Saturday taken out of the blue lies on Char mouth beach, Devonshire; it had been previously sold for four sovereigns to a member of the Geological Society, and proved to be of the genus Icthyosaurus, partaking of the alligator and lizard species. It measured about six feet in length, and was only to be reached at extremely , low tides, which may account fur its not having been die- I covered befo e. On the 30th ult., the Florida arrived at Havre from New York. A young American on board, who was coming to France to study medicine, was re• marked for his extreme taciturnity, and keeping himself completely retired, but this was attributed to his regret at leaving his native land and family. On coming within sight of port, he asked the Captain for some laudanum, to ailav a violent tooth-ache, under which he said he was suffering, and as he was of the medical profession, a 'phial full was intrusted to him. A short time afterwards he was found dead, having drunk the whole contents of the bottle. It was then discovered that he had made a pre vious attempt to destroy himself, as there was a wound in his right side, which, however, had not been sufficiently deep to kill him Galignani's Messenger. The Garden of Plants has been enriched with variety of new and interesting living animals: among them are some chinchillas and didelphi, and two came- Irons from Algiers, with two other reptiles of the same class, called prat , ' anyuillards, but which live constantly in the water. They resemble eels in their form, but are of a light dirty rose-colour, having a hood or topping streaked with a bright red. They have four small paws scarcely distinguishable, and can only live in a very obscure light. They were presented by a merchant of Liverpool, who brought them from the grotto of the Magdalen, near Trieste. They cost him great care and trouble, as he kept them for five months, changing their water daily, without which they cannot live. —Paris Paper. The first of the Boyle family who went as an adventurer to Ireland, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, did not possess in worldly sub , tance, when he landed in that kingdom, to the value of more than 271, including a pair of silk or velvet breeches, which he did not forget to enumerate among the other articles of his little stock. This man, by courtier-like conduct and remarkable in dustry, acquired in the course of time estates and lands worth 18,0001. a year. In the reign of Charles 1., he was raised to the dignity of Earl of Cork ; and he had the unparalleled honour of seeing overy one of his eons, except one, who refused a peerage, seated with himself in the House of Lords. One of his sons was created Viscount Kinalmeaky ; another was Earl of Orrery, a third was Lord Stamnore ; his eldest son was styled Lord Dungars von ; and the fifth son, the famous philosopher, Robert at ß hn o ed y fi l i e tr , h ts a Ei d na a rr n li go o hf ff tc e o r ofr o kt f hi a iss p dd e ee e ss r ec a ee g nn e dt , e which fit htaithat his p b u e kce d declined, ipn ev n B Fri h me H gr a e rn at p er to p n a ‘ r ,:va t ti o lo f sh h ie : Irish property, titk- es, the removal of Mrs. A"11 Vickery , the lady A writ of cor p , 's habeas 8 s r..:,, m ce ai e d nj t o o y A s i t r h s e . has been granted for may y w b e e on b fi ro n u ed gh i t n t D u ov tr e i r a g i auotl, theto London,ensuing t this course being deemed most expedient.

This theatre opened for the season on Saturday night. During the recess the house has been newly painted, and ~resents now a very light and graceful appearance. Tie box pannels are coloured a deep pink ; the vestibu'es, eotouda, and staircase have been beautified ; and the archestra considerably en'arged. At the rise of the curtain God save the King" was, as usual, sung by the entire vocal corps ; after which Miss TAYLOR, led on the stage by Mr. COOPER, advanced to deliver, what we suppose was intended to be considered as a propitiatory Address. On her entrance this young lady appeared so wholly overpowered by her fears,—so utterly incapable even of assuming an erec t position,—trembling, supplicating, and cow e ri ng d own to t h e groun d , as if s h e were just about to become subterranean—that, in common with the whole audience, we felt the deepest pity for her situation, But our sensibilities were thrown away. Indeed we were fairly swindled out of thrtn—we make this confession with some little feeling of anger— for no sooner had Mr. COOPER retired, than Miss TAYLOR (never a more consummate actress than on this occasion) recovered her wits as if by magic, and recited the Address with so much archness, tact, and presence of mind, as for cibly to impress on us the conviction that superlative bashfulness is by no means to be added to the list of her dram ,tic defects. As regards the Address itself, it was full of smart common-places, the production possibly of some tenth-rate punster. It met with but an equivocal reception, but quite as favourable a one as it deserved. The Tempest was well cast, and magnificently got up. NIACREADY'S Prospero was a correct, but rather a cold and formal performance. He seemed out of humour— possibly at the idea of being compelled to be an accessary after the fact to the murder of Shakspeare by Dryden. We scarcely sympathise with him on this occasion. Had his great dramatic idol been Lurked by a Fitzhall or a Beaz'ey, or a Planche, the case would bavebeen different ; but he has been murdered by no less illustrious an assassin than DRYDEN. Ccesar has been kill-d by Brutus ! He has been killed " boldly but not wrathfully ;" carved " as a dish fit for the Gods," not hewn " as a carcase for the hounds"—which is some consolation, considering how much worse he might have been used. We are by no means the eulogist of DRYDEN'S alteration. It is lame and unworthy of him—still it is not such a flagrant a•ro city as to justify Mr. IVACREADY'S very visible fit of the horrors. DRYDEN has marred the Tempest, nat by abridgment, but by addition, which of two sins, is " questionless" —as Lord Brougham would say—the least. Miss SIIIRREFF sung sweetly in the silly, inte , polated cha racter of Dorinda, and Miss INVERARITY made a very me lodious Miranda. But she had one besetting defect. She looked too knowing for the part. By no possiblestretch of the imagination could we be led to conceive that she had never seen a man. Her very dress spoilt the delusion. Though the all but solitary tenant of an enchanted island, she wore gigot sleeves, and hair curled, twisted and tortured after the last f ,shion at Alroack's ! But this, perhaps, is hyper criticism. Suffice to say, that she sung with singular skill and sweetness. Little Miss POOLE played the " tricksy" spirit Ariel, as well as could have been expected. She gave that impressive dirge, " Full fathom five," and the delicious little air, " Where the bee sucks," with a fine etherial delicacy. Some of her lower tones in the former song struck on our ear like the low, wild, ghostlike wailinga of an than harp. DOWTON'S Stephan° was full of chastened humour. It was, besides, carefully played throughout. But what is there that this fine old actor does, that does not satisfy the most fastidious judgment? BLAN. CHARD, as Trinculo, was quaint and dry; just, in short, what the character demands. Of BEDFORD'S Caliban we may say with truth, that it is incomparably the best the stage has known since the days of EMERY. The voice was perfect. It spoke the monster in every tcne, Miss TAYLOR, in Hippolito, showed a most conciliatory pair of legs. She had little to do but to show them, and we deem ourselves happy in having been so situated as to see them to the best advantage. As for the character, it is a mere nonentity. A mop•stick could play it quite as successfully, as the best actor or actress on the stage. We must not omit Mr. COOPER'S Ferdi nand. It was careful and judicious, but—so horridly cold Why will not this intelligent actor get rid of a little of his intelligence when he plays the part of a suitor, and throw in some glimmering of fervour ? His passion is too hyperborean, He makes love, as if he were standing in the cold shivers on an iceberg, with an icicle at his nose. We must not close our notice of the Tempest without saying a word or two about Mr. MACREADY'S delivery of that noble passage, " The cloud-capped towers." It was magnificently de claimed, so much so, that its stately music is still ringing in our ears. The Tempest was followed by MlLTON'Sillasque of Conius, as assassinated by CIRBER. It met with a flatter ing, even an enthusiastic reception, chiefly, however, by reason of the noble glees, choruses, &c., in which it abounds, and which were sung in a style of first-rate excellence. On the whole, Mr. Bunn may congratulate himself on the encouraging auspices under which his bold speculation has commenced. The house was crowded to an overflow (and this at a season when all London is supposed to be out of town !) and the most flattering reception given to each performer as he or she entered on the stage. THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT. Miss Pelham, who made a succes+ful hit at the Hay market Theatre on Thursday, in The Steward, was the heroine of the Bath, Worthing, anal other provincial theatres, where she achieved fame for herself and wealth for her managers. Taglioni and Pazanini have been throwing themselves on the patronage of the public at Liverpool on the same night—the former filled the regular theatre and the latter the Liver. The Duke of Devonshire, with those liberal feelings fcr which he is distinguished, has built a theatre at Buxtou, which has been tolerably atrended during the season. Meadows, of Covent garden, closed a four night engag.- rnent there on Saturday week with his benefit, which w 4 a bumper. The Richmond Theatre, under the management of Mr. Lee, and the proprietorship of T. W. Jones, has been most fashionably attended during the past week. Paganini realized nearly 1201. by one morning's per formance at Leamington. At Buvon be crammed the theatre ! and at Micclesfield filled his pockets, and asto nished his audience I! The theatrical business at Srvansex is getting on prosperously, and the new theatre at Aberyst with has been sufficiently successful to enable the managers to say that— " The steady march is that which leads to victory." Mr. Barnett has been very successful in his tour to the classic ground of Oxford. Daniel Egerton, the respected Secretary to the Covent garde❑ Theatrical Fund, has already commenced his labours i❑ the cause of this excellent charity ; and John Hughes, the indefatigable Secretary to the Drury lane Theatrical Fund is busily engaged in a new work called Dramatic Charity. STRAND THRATRI. —ln addition to the novelties in preparation for this theatre, the managers will this (lay produce a new farce from the pen of W. L. Rede, called His Firs' Champagne, in which Wrench, Benson, Hill, Oxberry, Smith, Mrs. Griffith,, and Mrs. Rede have characters which, it is said, are expressly adapted for their talents. From what we have heard of the production, it would appe it the author has literally walked into the. theatre and measured the company for a new suit of characters. Serie is engaged this week at the Victoria, and he is to play while Miss Jarman, Abbott, and Wade are gone to Brighton, where their engagement commences on this 4 - dy and terminates on Saturday next. Two most remarkable posture-maste rs , a G erman and a Frenchrnan, have been engaged to va r y th e performances thit week ; and we are told by a g ent l eman who saw their performance s are uro: them exhibit abroad, th a t ;Re anything y e t k nown i n t hi s country. We ot':'a we do not like th e i n t ro d uct i on o f l u ,! :ll "hillit'.;ans into a national theatre (for that rank the "et""a ' has taken), but we suppose that the modern I :lactice in this respect at Covent garden and Drury-lane has rendered it necessary. A new melo-drame is in pre paration, and we think the managers would have done wisely if they had brought it out earlier. Amongst the numerous visiters to the Olympic Theatre (in the course of the week), we noticed the following tashionables :—Mirchioness Cornwallis, Countess Beau champ, Lord and Lady Tullamore, Lord and Lady Edw. Thynne, Lady Brooke, Lady Turton, Captain and Hon. Mrs. Ryder Burton, Miss Mellish, Prince Esterbazy, Marquis of Worcester, Lord A. Conyngham, Lord Long ford, Lord Say and Sele, Lord Villiers, Lord Allen, Sir .1. Pane, Sir C. Boyle, Sir C. B. Codrington, and Mr. Rothschild.
