THE .THE ATI? S.

ThifGentleinan, as we haVe nes;)re stated, is a son of Mr. rEititiY, who 45 several yeartagn was. of the Perforthers of Covent-garden, Theatre. the Performer of last night is, we Understand, a. Gaptain in the Maritime Service of the Dust India Com pany. His figure is of the middle size, and rather inclined to the portly. His voice iielear, NI) and strong. His anion was easy and apprei f the • plate. lie seemed to h a v e a v ery j ust , conccpt i on o Very diffieult cliarafi e r w hi c h h e h a d un d er . taken. The spirit,. the bustle, and the vigour of the part, were 'at all times well supported. Per haps the sternness, 'which certainly forms an essen. tial feature of it, 'was not so prominent as the rest of its forma nce qualities 3 . but on the whole i t i va s a per . strongly charatlerized by genius, and Which had no °marks of servile irnitation. Spirit and energy 'were the prevailing.properties, but in the -sarcastic passages he delivered bithstlf in an vinieraarfe i tytith the skill of a veteran ; and we tnay , lairl}t,sayt j that though there was at- times a negligenstAt - Avas the negligence of real' genius. We question, indeed, if there be an ador at-present en the Loudon Boards who could have performed the pan with so much of original animation. ,If we cannot say • • , " Firi4hid the whole, arid labour ' d eery part " With patie nt touches of unWeary'd art." • We can say, however, that there was• " Wilt nature's genius working. at the root," with much more of art and judgment than - usually , accompanies such ardent conceptions, or than could be expelled in a Performer wholly without ex perience. His dunfLahetu was expressive and ,not.officious. He did not stand in dull indifference while Ot)iers were Speaking; nor did he, by elahorate gesrifres, withdraw attention from what they said. Guided by ' a good "' un d erstanding, he evidently followitli the Ilitlate s of his own feelings, and did not kcetp any particular model in his eye. It is, said that this Gentleman Las not yet re_ `flounced the' 'East India 'Service. It' he performed last night 'merely to g rat ify a theatrical ituhim, he has at least shewn his friends that his abilitie s ar e by no means con fi ned to - th a t service ; and if he has seriously' resolved upon a theatrical life, we have , no doubt that he may become an essential prop of the State. .• ThefeßWas a numerous audience , ivliOreccived the new Adventurer with great applause throughout, aittitaVoatricag and repeated marks of their appro bation atshillose of his performance. • COVeiti. a rd. , . A new Candidate for public favour was intro tluced upon 'these Boards yesterday. evening, in the charader of Othello. We could not learn the name of the Gentleman . who choie so arduous a charatler for his debut, but we think he abed wisely in care. Billy conerAling it, as he does not possess those re. ..quisites which will enable him to. attain a distin. guished rank in the Drama, at lent without much futther•stutly, and a midi greater degree of know. 1 ge i!+ tit Seense Att. , tie evidently labtitlieti much to excel, but his voice unfortunately did not assist him; as it was either forced . into t rant, or reduced to an indistinct titurthur. -Some pas. sagei were undoubtedly given with. spirit and with feeling, but they were but few, and in straining to give additional energy to hii titter ance, he frequently borderid on the burlesque. —.However he might bq happy in. sonic few in stances, Acre was certainty a want of that ge. nuine feeling which marks the charatier of Othello; nor were its rapid transitions sußciently marked. The whole was too artificial,: the Aficir was, with very few exceptions, constantly seen, whilst the brave and unsuspecting Moor, worked up to phienzy by the treacheions wiled a designing villain, was not, rendered sufficient4y,mninent. - This Gentle man possesses talents, but he is at preient certainly inadequate to the representation of Othello. His figure is good, considerably above the, middle siie, but his aftion was aukward, and in delivering his text, he fre quently thiew iiirnsitlf into attitUdes which were by no means graceful. He had a number 'Of friends in the House, some of whom were frequently very injudi. cious in their applause. At the close of the 'Lies formance a contest ensued for some time between the ayes and the noes, and it would be perhaps dif. ficillt tO•deCiae which had it--but whatever (Tilly be the favourable. opinion entertained of his exertions, by the partiality of friendship, we are decidedly of opinion, that he is inadequate to the reptekentation of the arduous and difficult charafter which he se kited far his fi rst essay. If 'he intends to perse,. Vero in his theatrical efforts, we think that his ex ertioni ought at present to be confined to charaaets of infetlor rank. !REL tINIi.

Tiernek vva,s on . Wednesday evening brought in, adorned with some of those murdering weapons, and fully toniniitted to the County Gaol, by Capt. LLOYD. For softie days past, various letters were received, and intelligence given, that a rising of disaffdlecl persons would take place in this and a neighbouring county. On Thursday bit such intelligence was received, as rendered it the duty of those entruste d with the Civil and Military Power, to, take every precaution to prevent this City from being surpr!zed by desperate Rebels ; in tOnsequence of which, crowds of Loyal Inhabitants; ikith the Right. Wor shipful Mayor . and Sheriffs, resorted to the Ex change, and remained there under artits.

On the above night, so early as seven o'clock,. a party of about fifty men attacked the house of Lieutenant. Colonel Sot/Rent EX. late of the RoYal Irish Artillery, at Kilsrush, neat Hospital, Barony of Small County, County Limerick, and within fourteen miles of this City. On breaking into the house, the first person they met to oppose them, was a faithful servant whom the Colonel brought with him from the Regimen; ; this man they cut and hacked with swords in a barbarous manner ; most fortunately the C' olonel 'Was on this night in Limerick, and.it appeared that he and his servant were their intended Vidirtii; Ptiovidence direCted that Lieut. WMAHON ) . of' the Queen's German RangerS, on that evening called, and remained at Colonel BAVACHIER'S house, and owing to his spirited condutt, Mrs. BOURCHIER and her chil dren were protetted from the brutal rage of those Rebels. After entirely destroying the furniture of the house, windows, &e. taking all the fire. arms with them, they broke open the stables, took thereout the Colonel's six horses, three of which were found at six o'clock next morning on the road, by . Lieut. M'lVlatiort, on his venturing out to,apprixe JAMES GUDIII2I9, Esq. a neighbouring J - Magistrate, who, , with his son, osetH Guatings, Esq. instantaneously.afrorded him every assistance; but we are sorry to add, that none of the Rebels, as'yet, have been apprehended. On the above might, some villains went to the Turret of Dsais O'BRIBN, Esq.. at Newcastle. hill, near GrOody Turnpike, and demolished the windows thereof. The cottagers in the neighbour.. hood, though alarmed, were afraid to encounter them, from their superior numbers. The above Banditti declared, at the attack at Col. Bouttcst t ER'S howe, there would be a general, rising on that night, of their friends ; and on the Hill of Knockgreany, 'and other.rising grounds, lights were visible supposeil to be signals.

James Haydon, alias Martitz, was inotaed for burglariously breaking and entering the &Welling : . house of John Rogers, end stealing therein two gold rings, his property'. John Rogers, the Posecutor. slid, thai he is a Jeweller and Silversmith, living at. No. 25,, High_ street, Bloontibury. On the ,4th December last, between five and six o'clock in 'the evening, he bit several articles in his trade, diatilonds and gold rings to the value, as far as he had been hitherto , able , :o estimate, of about, '2,51. Am )okr the arti cles he lost, were t .va gold tin c, . whielnvere in a anavt.graasin to e shop window, stetted iritlieutun way. As he was , at tea in the parlour behind the shop, he•was alarmed by a noise of a 'pare of gl ass being broken, •and his Shoprnan jumping over the counter, and afterwards endeavouring to open the door, but which he was unable to do, for it was discovered to have been tied by a cord on the out. side, which was fastened to the latch ,#t one end, and the other to the railing of Idle area. After a great deal of difficulty Mr. Rogers himself succeeded in openingethe door, and by that time a mob had collected at the door, so that he thought it advise. able to shut up. He then discovered that his pro. perty was taken out of the show.glass, but lie knew nothing of the person who took it •• he saw the gold rings again in the,eare o f t h e Ofil:er of the Watch, who apprehended the Prkoner. John Bacon, the Prosteutor;s Shopniaff, gave the same account as his Master 4 to the hteaking the glass 'window, and the door being tied by a cord, so that he could' not open the dnoi. until Mr. Ito. gers tame to help him. .He saw the haild of a man in .the glass arter it was broken, 'so — that there was no doubt that the property taken away at the time the lass was broken ; so that the breaking and entering the dwelling...house, and the stealing or . the goods, was at one tune. It then appeared that the Prisoner was apprehended in the street by order of a Mr. Marsh, a Jeweller in the neighbourhood, and that when he was taken up, he made alt the resistance in his power, so that two, or three Watchmen had rutich ado to condud him to the watch.house ; this was between eight and nine at night. He was senched there, and in his fob were found two gold seals, which the Pro. secutor swore to be his property, and he swore that they had been in his diew-gia'ss half so hour before ft was broken. The Prisoner gave no account of himself further than that he found these goods in the street. The Csiter• BARON of the EXCREQOEa said, that in order to constitute a burglary, there must 'he a breaking and entering in the night, together with a stealing, or an intent to steal. As to the breaking and entering, so sacred did the Law of England hold a dwelling.house,, that the bare lifting up a latch, with intention to commit a felony, was a breaking, and the putting in the hand through a tune of glass was an entering of the dwelling.house. Here the breaking and entering were dear, and no doubt it was in the night. The stealing the goods also was the same time as the breaking ; the only question was, whether the Prisoner was the man who did, or was concerned in the doing °fit ; an d upon that the behaviour of the man when he was apprehended, and the finding the property opon him so recently after it was stolen, were material pkiints for the consideration of the Jury, who per haps might expec of the Prisoner a better account as to the manner by which he came by them, than by barely saying that he 'found them. His Lord_ ship left the case to the Jury, who found the Fri. saner Grat.y.—Death. .7obx Godewix, an elderly man, was charged with a capital offence in feloniously stealing two horses,
