THE THEATRES, &c. DRURY-LANE.—The Camedy of The Hypocrite was succeeded at this Theatre last night by a new Melo-Drama, or mixture of dialogue, action, spectacle, and music, under the title of The Ninth Statue; or, The Irishman in Bagdad. The Fable of this Drama is taken from a story in The Jra bian Night's Entertainments, which is too well known to need any detail from us, except to no tice, that there is_ the addition of an Irishman (Jon STONE), Who has saved the life of the Prince of Balsora (tiraLLacx), and that the He roine of the Piece (Miss KELLY} is the Irishman's Daughter, who has been confined in the Prinee'S Harem, but who has not been made a sacrifice to his pleasure, because he respects her virtue, and is anxious to eleate her to his Throne. By the as sistance of the Irishman an insurrection is quelled, and by the aid of the King of the Genii time Prince is at last put in possessio.i of the Ninth Statue, which proves to be his beloved Norah, the - Irishman's Daughter, who, after the illagic Glass has demon strated the impurity of all the other Ladies who had submitted to the ordeal, is proved by the clearness of its reflection to be without a mental stain. Such is the. alteration which has been made in this favourite story of our earlier days ; an al teration which relieves the grave progress. of the fable by.the intervention of sonic degree of whim sical character and humour.—But it is evident, that the main purpose of the Managers was to present a picturesque and ma.:nificent spectacle, and it must be acknowledged that they have suc ceeded admirably The scenery, the magic changes, and all the effects of supernatural potency, constitutes one of the most splendid Exhibitions that has been presented to the public for a. long period. The appearance of the Genius, tq indicate the dream of the Prince, was strong and striking—the se veral local views, the interior of the Palaces and Garden, bat, above all, the tie , icent of the Genius of Fire' and %Vetter at the close, to, consecrate the marriage of the Prince. and Nord:, were highly splendid and impressive. The music was ori ginal, except two Irish airs sung by JOHNSTONE, and does credit to HORNE. The piece was very warmly applauded by a crowded house, and was well supported by the Performers, particularly WALLACK, MISS KELLY, and JOHNSTONE. Alto gether, however, the drama requires retrench ment, which will no doubt be maie, as the first performance may be deemed the last rehearsal. COVENT-GAM/FN.—Mr. KEMBLE last night re sumed the part of Richard the Third, and his per formance was one of the most vivid, correct, and energetic efforts of the Art that we have ever at tended. The subtlety, arrogance, determined spirit, and we may add the sarcastic humour of the character, were all rendered peculiarly pro minent and effective. The audience were power fully impressed by this masterly and animated ;IS sumption, and were abundant in their applause. We seldom pay tnueh attention to the less re gular Exhibitions, which exist for the innusement of this great metropolis:. there are, however, t►vo or three novelties at present, which seem to de serve our notice, as the brief Chroniclers of the Times _ An ingenious pictnresque and mechanical Spec tacle, similar to that which the Mechanist PtElute has so long established at Paris, is now among our attractions. It consists of a s e ries Of Views, with various objects introduced, whose motions are in general surprisingly true to nature. But it is in representing the effects of light that this Exhibition .excels : the rising sun, in a View of the Environs of Reggio, and of the setting sun, in a View of Marseilles, are really managed in the most illusive and agreeable manner. 6AIINERIg, whose des-cent in a parachute asto nished ;Ind alarmed lte population of London in 1802, has opened an entertaining and somewhat novel species of Exhihiticin, in Spring-gardens, consi:ting of various experiments in Natural. Ph ilosophy, particularly in Electricity, and a Phan tasmagoria ; the latter, however, is inferior to that exhibited some years ago by PH ILLIPSTHALL. His experiments, however, in Electricity arc beau tiful, and to those who are unacquainted with the Phenomena, must be really a s tonishing. His appratus is the most magnificent we have ever seen. A German Professor, SPURZEIM, is also giving very ingenious . Lectures on GALL'S System of Craniology. He produces models of the Skulls of almost all the Heroes and Sages of antiquity, and thence deduces his .conclusions. We wonder where•he procures them so correctly as to be able to establish any certain philosophical principles on their formation. There is, however, a great deal or amusement in.the theories which this in genious foreigner endeavours to illustrate, and his Lectures awl Experiments arc very en to r taining. FRIENDLY HINTS. Should you suspect that somebody was breaking into your bed-room, the best thing to defend yourself will be a chair—take hold of the back with your right hand, and of the seat with your . left—this mode of defence will afford you time to give an alarm, if not to overpower your enemy. When walking alone in the evening be on the alert when you are asked the way to any place, lest you sho.uld be knocked dawn by a confederate behind, whilst directing the one in front. When you see six or seven fellows standing on the footpath, be polite, give them the wall, or you may stand a chance of beingpinned against it and be robbed of your watch, &c. 8.7 e. Beware of Butchers' trays, also of. Carpenters' baskets, for the latter carry their sham tools in a very dangerous manner. The writer of these hints saw a poor woman the other evening most dread fully cut in the face by a saw, the point of which was at least six inches out of the fellow's basket. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, TUEMAY, Nov, 29. Mr. lirogden brought up froin't lie Commons the False 'Mee sures bill, which w^'.; they eafter read a first and second time. IRISH PEACE PRESERVATION BILL. - - Lord LrvErPOoCrned the third reading of the Irish Peace Preservation Bill. The Earl of DoccouGnmonc thought Magiso - and Constables, acquainted with the coun try, would be much more effectual in times of disturbance, than disbanded soldiers and super numeraries of the Police of Dublin. He conti nued to think the measure altogether inefficient. He was sorry to differ from some great authori ties with whom he generally agreed, who had stated that this Bill had been productive of benea ficial effects.—However, that authority was less valuable in his opinion, in the presentu but he thanin most others, as be knew it was not supp or t e d by competent information. He had no objecti on . to the alterations now proposed ; b firmly convinced that the Bill could never be con verted into a machine proper to quiet any part of Ireland, which might happen to be in a dis turbed state. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that although several persons had objected to the Insurrection Act, the present Bill had almost met with general approbation. However necessary it might he to put•the Insurrection Act in force, it was still, pro Canto a suspension of the Constitution of the coun try ; hut the present measure left the law in full force. It was an additional stimulus- to Magis trates to do their duty, as the expense which it would cause to the disturbed districts, would in duce them to exert themselves strenuously for the maintenance of tranquillity. If this Bill was sound in its principle, it was not enough, even admitting this to be the fact, to say that it had not been' productive of 'any beneficial effects, to induce Parliament to repeal it ; for Parliament ought to have a more sufficient experience of the measure, before it could, be repealed. There was a sufficient guard against abuse in the expence which was necessarily entailed on the districts when the measure was called into operation. The Earl of DONOUGIIMORE, in explanation, said, he had not contended that the Bill ought to be repealed ; he had merely contradicted the statement that it bad been attended with beneficial consequences. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. The Irish Spirits' Distillation Bill, the Irish Wool Bill, the East India Goods or Bonds Bill, the Promissory Notes Bill, the Irish Glass Duty Bill, and Foreign and Neutral Ships' Bills, were read a third time and passed. Mr. Capper, from the Secretary of State's Office, presented Mr Graham's Report of the state of the Convicts on board the Hulks in the river Thames, &c. Laid . on the Table.—. Adjourned. SCOTLAND.. Nets°, Nov. 21.—0 n Saturday afternoon, about five o'clock, a fire broke out in a thatched house, situate near the Abbey, belonging to Mr. Fleming, blacksmith here, which, from - the mo ment it was discovered, raged with such uncoil troulable fury, that no exertions conia get it under, till the building was completely destroy ed. I'Ve lament to state, that a fine child, about fifteeti months old, daughter of Mr. Alex ander Main, shoemaker, perished in the flames. AYR,Nov. 24.—0 n Thursday evening last, as Mr. DICK, in Gateside, parish of Craigie, Ayr shire, was going home, and when near to his house, a fellow made up to him and snapped a pis tol in his face ; on this he knocked the villain down, and having tossed his pocket-book over into a field, , had • just the good fortune to wrest the pistol from his hands, when he was attacked by other two; but he made such a stout resistance, that he got off with the loss of part of his vest, and a few shillings which were in the pocket of the part torn off. As soon as he got home, and procured a light and assist ants, he returned and found his pocket-book, with the contents safe.—We understand he delivered up the pistol next day to the Magistrates of Kil marnock, and on examining its contents, it was found to have been loaded with two balls. On Monday afternoon, about six o'clock, the Clyde steam-boat, owing to a great fog, struck on the long dike, a little below Dumglass, Scot land. The majority of the passengers wished to remain in the steam-boat, rather than go into two boats which the owners of the Clvdeprovided for them ; sometime after, she began to sink by the stern, owing to the water falling away, when they got all safely on shore in two boats belonging to a brig lying in the river. Several transports arrived here yesterday and this forenoon for the purpose of conveying troops to Cork, destined for America. A detachment of the 2d battalion of .he 79th regiment has been in readiness at Port-Glasgow these two weeks past, and a detachment from the 71st is daily expected. (Greenock Advertiser, Nov. 25.) CORN EXCETANGR, Nov. 30.—We had some ar rivals this morning with Wheat and Barley from Suffolk ; fine Wheat sold at the prices of Monday, hut ordinary was dull.

GOs EMERICK PRENY, an Hungarian Nobletnan, who was travelling on the 3lst of August near Dehrec zin, alighted from his carriage to shoot some ducks, directing his servants to pl'oceed. The re port roused eight or ten shepherds dogs, that were tending numerous flocks in those extensive uncul tivated plains, who tore him in pieces before as sistance could arrive. A large eagle (Fa/co-fu/vus) was shot at Cams Hail,-by Mr. DELME'S keeper, on Wednesday last. This extraordinary bird measures three feet from the beak to the tail, and in breadth, from wing to wing, about eight feet. A very rarc bird, the Bay Ibis (Tantalus Fanci nellus of Linnaeus) was shot a feed days ago in Wales, and is now in the possession of Dr. DYER of Bristol: - There is only one other British speci men known to naturalists, and that was shot September 26th, 1793 ; while skimming with an other over the River Thames between Henley and Reading. On Sunday last, about mid-day, as a gentleman of this city was returning home from Stow, he was stopped by three footpads on Hailing Down, who demanded his money, at the same time informing him if be made no resistance, it. was not their intention to injure hint.— accordingly gave them his loose cash, amount ing shillings in silver, together with his plleck t -b f O e uk ; the latter, however, they innne diately returned, on ascertaining that it con lin n e d nothingo nc but memorandums. The gentle badcealed a large sum of money about his person, which fortunately escaped their search. One of the robbers had the appearance of a - soldier, part of a military uniform appearing under his smock frock. Late on Tuesday evening, the Thetis, of Newry, THoSSAS MORGAN, master, from Liverpool, with coals, bound to Newry, stranded on the North Bull, and, we regret to say, seven of the crew perished.--( Drogheda Journal.) We have much satisfaction in learning, that our gallant fellow-citizen and soldier, Brigadier- General AsHWORTH, has been appointed Governor of the city of Oporto, in the roora of Gen. TRANT, who has retired.—(Mid), HOUSE OF COMMONS. Lord G.BERESPORD, front the Prince Regent, informed the House, that his Royal Highness had given the necessary or tim.s, in compliance with the Addresses of the House, of the 22d and 231 instant. GOVERNOR OF GIBRALTAR. The CHANCELLOR of the ENCHE4UER presented to the House,by order of the Pkince Regent = an Extract of the Let ter of .ord Bathurst to General Arnith, and an Extract from the Answer of General Smith, which the House had request• ed to be laid before them. MONTAGU AND PELHANI PACKETS. Lord G. Nu GENT rose to ask a question of the Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Lushingtou). He (Lord G. Nugent) had last Session moved for cer tain papers relative to an action between theM.n tzigu packet and an American privateer. These papers had, in consequence of an order of the House, been laid on the table, but on the last day of the Session had been ordered to be returned to the Post-office. This was a kind of proceeding he could not account for, and therefore he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would assign some reason for these papers having been withdrawn without any motion for the purpose. • Mr. LUSH INGTON said, that if the Noble Lord would, after the Recess, renew his motion, he had reason to think that the re-production of the pa pers would not be objected to. BLEACHING POWDER. Mr. P-oNsoNar, according to notice, moved for leave to bring in a Bill for repealing the Duties on Bleaching Powder He understood that a number of the manufacturers of Ireland had made representations on the injurious tendency of those duties. He then went into 'a history of thOse duties, to shew that they were contrary to the spirit of commerce. But it was as they were contrary to the Act of Union he chiefly objected to them. The prohibitory clause in the Act for laying those duties was directly contrary to the Act of Union. He did not see that there could be any objection on the part of any Gentleman for the repeal of these duties, and brought forward the subject on this night, as the House was to adjourn on Thursday. Mr. LUSHINGTON thought it would be better to propose a Bill for the amendment than for the repeal of the Act. This was not the first time the Act was before the House. The intention of the Act was to put the English and Scotch tuanufac. turer on an equality with the Irish. He then read various documents on the subject, and also the opinions of Mr. roster, Sir .1. Newport, and Mr. Ponsonby, agreeing that the Irish manufac turer had, by the drawback on the salt used in the manufacture, two great. advantages over the Scotch and English. He allowed that the clause alluded to by the Right Honourable Gentleman was contrary to the Act of Union ; but that clause might be repealed without a repeal of the entire Act. He saw no loss that could arise from letting the Act continue as it is till next Session, and he would propose a Committee of Enquiry, to consider of the law imposing duties on oxygen and muriatic acid. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, no compromise could be entered into with this Act. It was contrary to the Act of Union ; and if. it was as beneficial as he considered it injurious to Ireland, it would be repealed. He would wish that the system of drawbacks were entirely extinguished, and that trade were left tc its own natural course, whieh. ;you'd be for the benefit of both the manufacturer And the public. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER con curred with the Hon. Gentleman, and thought that instead of repealing the Act, it would be better to alter so much of it as violated the Act oE Union. Mr. W. rITZOBBALD said a few words after
