At Doncaster the fall of snow was so great, on Wednesday and Thursday, as .to render the roads nearly impassable. A few days since a new species of swindling was practised at Beccles :—A genteel looking m a n, pce. vailed on .several persons to purchase contVtd*A , goods,. under which title he sold two chettli"tiffti - a and nutmegs for 71. 7s. which he valued atlitFp.A. each.. On unpacking the chests, the .putlifilas4s found a small quantity.ol tea and. nutmegs . at the top, the remainder. being filled with . mahogany saw..dust. The swindler effected his escape. The stealiog 6f poultry is . continued in the County of Norfolk with the greatest regularity.— A few evenings since, Miss lticumtps; of Fritton, • had all her fowls stolen, and two of her horses taken away,. but the latter were sent back.

Miss BUTLER, considering the trifling part allotted her, ‘aequitted. herself with eclat. Mr. JOSEPH MAGnocNs reminded the Audience of the veteran KING, so fully did he enter into the spirit of the part. The lively manners and - easy gentle manly address of Lord Raieland could not have been better depided than they were by Mr. WILLTAM INUODOCKS. Mr. PE NISTON LAMBS, and, Mr. LAwitaNcE, likewise did full justice to the parts allotted them in the Drama ; and the Lords 1-lA hituroir were considerably above mediocrity. In Ale Farce, .Mr. MAnDocKs played the part of Old Dailey with• original humour, and Miss BUTLER, in Miss Dag, had much merit, and was highly applauded.
