MISCELLANEOUS. Letters dated the 31st of August were received yesterday from Odessa: Sufficient time had their] elapsed to allow the determination of the Rus. Sian Government, if intended to be communi• 'sated direct from the Court to the authorities al ,Odessa, to be known there ; but the same uncer tainty still- prevailed on the subject. Favour able prognostics of peace were, however, derived from the --entire inactivity of the Russian army and • marine, the movements of which were - watched, and could always be quickly arid cor rectly ascertained.--(Morning Paper.) t hat according FiNaNcr,.—The Madrid Papers state, tdat according to the accounts received by the Junta of Public Credit up to the 31st of August, the sales o f p roperty i n the provinces for the ex thaction of the n a ti ona l d e b t amounte d to 109 - s. from monasteries and other suppressed establish ments.

NEW ILtYMARKET MEAT:U.—The Jealous Wife is one of those sterling plays that are calcu lated to accomplish the true purpose of the Comic Drama, viz. the reformation of private life by ex 7 posing thOse follies, errors, and vices, by which it is too generallydisturbed. This excellent Co medy has, however, intrinsic faults. The character of Mrs. Oakley is drawn with too much violence for a person of her supposed rank in society, and is therefore too vulgar in the expression of her passions to be an object for fondness to a man of feeling, delicacy, and good breeding like Mr. Oakley, and he is consequently too timid under the controul of such p wife. Lady FreeloveJ and Lord Trinket should not have been held out as examples of British nobility, without some saving clause in compliment to the general body. Captain O'Czttter is also a bad specimen of the character of a Commander in the British Navy, nor is the matter mended by his being made a native of Ireland, and he is employed. in such offices as a British Officer would indignantly reject. The rest of the cha racters are well drawn, and may pass without comment. It is hardly necessary to observe, that the author of this play. is indebted to the novel of "Tom Jones and to a letter in The Spectator, but the public also are indebted to him for having worked up his materials with great skill and humour.— The play last night was on the w hole very well supported in the representation, and it is credita ble to the management that such plays are brought forward. CONWAY supported the part of Oaldu with great judgment and feeling. Mrs. IL Jonv. SON, though perhaps somewhat too stormy :und loco-motive, fully understood the character of his fair tyrant. Major Oakley could not have :been better assigned than to Tutnv. WILLIAMS and Oxur.arty mainly contributed to the piece in Russettarid Sir flurryßeagle. DECAMP was rather too much of-a Frenchman in Lord Trinket, but his recent performance of . French char ac t ers , which he supports admirably, will account for the excess. It is very creditable to the Manage ment that they...have retained Miss BOYCE, who is an intelligent.actress, and who gave ade quate support to Lady Freelove; nor should Mrs. JONES be passed over; as her Toilette was made prominent by, a due regard to character. The pleasant interlude of Lovers' Quarrels followed, and was rendered very diverting by Miss BoycE in Leonora, .BAKER in Carlos, J. ItussEr,t. in Sancho, and Mrs. TAYLFURE in -.Jacintha. The excellent new comedy of Match-breaking fol lowed, and. was supported in a very excel lent manner by all the Performers. Miss Conn] being indisposed, - her, place was taken, and ably supported, by Mrs. JosEs.—A good house. Saturday being the feast of. St. Michael, Mr. Alderman no mersham, the Mayor Elect Of this City, after attending Divine Scrvice at his parish Church, was sworn into office, at the Guildhall, when .
