COVENT GARDEN.-Nothing could be more cre ditable to the public, judgment and feeling, in limiters of taste, than the reception which Kematal experienced last night at this Theatre, in the-cha racter of Macbeth. As soot) as he appeared on the hridge,' there was an universal burst of ap plause, and most of the persons in the Pit imme diately arose, and waved their handkerchiefs and hats, is zealous and continued testimony of wel come, insonmeh that he was obliged to stop, and acknowledge this fervent kindness. When •he came to the front of the -Stage, the same cheer ing- awaited him, and evidently operated, strongly ' on his feelings, as his voice fanltered on uttering • the-first speech. however; soon recovered, and throughout his performance we never heard 'his voice in so 'much vigour. The character of Macbeth was never so well sopported within our remembrance as it Was on this occasion.— Indeed Mr. KestaLe has so thoroughly: con sidered the part,_ as is obvious from the manner in which he has hitherto performed, as well as from a s indicious,tract which he published anony mously on the subject, that little, if any thing, of novelty was to be expected. Yet there were last night a few new tOuches, which proved that he is indefatigable in the study of his profession, though be - has so imig been at the head of it, and which were exactly confOrmable to nature. For instance, immediately after the murder of the King is an nounced by Macduff, and the other characters are expressing their horror, Macbeth retired to the back of the stage, as if afraid of observation, and was unable to cover his guilt amidst his confusion, and when he came forward to declare his regret for having killed the supposed assassins, anti is asked why he did - so by Macduff, he addressed part of his vindication to the other persons on the stage as well as to the enquirer, as if in fear of the penetrating eyes of the latter.. There were seve ral minor touches of truth and nature, which could only be expected front a Master in the Art, incessant in his endeavour to approach, as near as possible„ , to perfection. His gradual discomfiture and despair as he experiences " the equivocation of the fiends, who lie like truth," were admirably delineated, and finally, his confusion on finding the delusion complete - in the 'unborn existence of Macduff was a true and highly affecting expression of conscious guilt and the dread -of impending punishment. His deportment, as usual, was ap propriate and majestic; and the whole made such an impression, that there was a universal-ea-It for the dropping of the curtain at the moment of his death; as if even the Conclusion of the drama itself was not worth attention, after the last' words' of so accomplished an Actor. CONWAYI certainly displayed improvement in his manner of performing Macdaf, particularly in the scene when he hears of the destruction of his family, in Which he was Much applauded. Mrs: RENAUD is the best Lady Macbeth that has been seen since the retirement of Mrs...irDDONS, which, indeed is paying her no great compliment. The house was not only attended by a full audience, hut by one of the best description ; and the approbation throughout was rational as, well as vehement, which is by no means alWayS the case. aricav-LANs.---11EN 2 , who has been some time disabled by the _got!:, 'appeared last night in the comedy of A ('litre forlite Heart-dche, assum ing his favourite part of ()hi - Rapid, which he sup ported with—great spirit and humour. Young Rapid was performed : by FALLISTON with bustling vivacity ; and the 'whole of the characters were supported respectably. EPIGRAM, On reading in the Newspapers that in an actionfor Crim.

FROM A CoitREgi!oNDENT.- 7 -Thefavourite maxim of the. Drury-lane Management is, to have no more cats than will catch mice ; a kind of NEL SON'S motto—ev e ry man, aye, and woman too, are expected to do their dety—no matter-how ever degrading—fining and -re-finkng is resorted to—no grains of allowance for wounded pride. A first-rate Vocal Heroine is levelled with Chorus Singers ;. and even KEAN,hicuself, the great Pan of the dramatic. dairy, is keenly w atched and re primanded. This .conduct, it is .true, produces Murmurs—not loud but deep ; but what of that ; let them look to their bond ;" but let Her cules. though he has the strength of a Draynzan, do wha t he may, the day may come when th is _m r politic, not to say rash conduct, may be regretted. Verbum Sat.! . ' Profiting from the example of Mrs. DICKONS the acting Alanage'r of Covent-Garden allotted the principal vocal Witch in Macbeth to M4B STEPHENS, who, however, detesting the sin of Witchcraft, refused to aid the charm, rather chOOsing to part with CASH than 141A91/i KEAN, whose canzonets in /ago have evinced some skill in " Music's art," has no objection, we understand, to appear as the Double of BRA ; but Mr. Wit ITDIVEAD stoutly rejects the idea, having an unconquerable objection to Mr. KEAN'B ad libitunts " You Critics on the Nina Statue have been (says one of our hypercritical Correspondents) particularly severe upon the Manager for forcing Miss KELLY to an indelicate exhibition of her person in the male 'attire; surely this is at best pm ignorant attack, since it is well known that Mr. ARNOLD i$ uncommonly partial to a petti coat . 1 " • vv The late boisterous weather has rendered the office of salesman at Billingsgate almost a sinecure Beautiful Maid" was not to be purchased for love or money —not an oyster, even " crossed in l ov e," at market ; whilst a cod of no great dimen sions could not be purchased under four guineas, :old, after all, as a Common Council-man wisely observed, a cod is not intrinsically worth the dressing when unaccompanied witio oyster sauce!

Arr.Rrcif A an HvGims.- - -Th is vete! an ofthe Stage, who was an actor- of - lhe- good old cootie school, _ an d w h o deservedly possessed a high degree, of provincial repute, thOugh-but little known to 4 London audience, -yesterday made -his exit from " this universal theatre,. the world." He .had long been a proprietor of the Wey,mouth 'Theatre, and also possessed a share of Sadler's Wells. He was nut only a good comic actor, but a sound judge of Theatrical merit. • His conversation was homourous and amusing, as he was a shrewd ob server of mankind, and abounded in anecdotes, particularly of the theatrical kind. By industry - and prudence, he brought up his family in a very respectable manner, and has no doubt, left among them considerable property. - Mr.- finOnEs . occasionally performed Jobsim in London, to serve • a friend on a benefit, and displ aye d such v i gorous humour as would have secured him an engage-; mem' in the Metropolis, -if his pecuniary interests had not been otherwise more, productive. Finally, it ought to be added, that he appeared to advan tage in the characters.of a husband and a father. The following anecdote of BUONAPARTE is re lated in a pamphlet just _published at .Paris " Riding- out the day after his arrival in the of Elba, on the coast, he was met, escorted by a great number of English, by a•peasant, who ima gined that the island had-been ceded to England. Mistaking BtJONAPARTE for, a Governor sent by King of Great Britain, he fell on his knees, and in that postore, pionounen4 the most pompons eulogy on the English, argil inveighed bitterly against BUONAPARTE- 4, ; kle spoke in Italiar, the English did not umlerstand a word he said ; but BUONAPAITE inquired the reason of his coin plikiots. The peasant, in. reply to this question, enumerate:l the misfortunes; that had befallen his family, in consequence of.the conscription, taxes, and other measures., He would never have done, had not BUONAPARTE thought fit to continue his ride, without saying a word-in answer. The poor fellow, on being informed-that he had been speak ing to NAPOLEON, remained thunderstruck for a few moments, and-then ran off as fast as he could. He has never been seen since, notwithstanding alt . the search that has been•made for him." Notwithstanding the magnificence of the New Lunatic A'sylum at Glasgow, we should presume that no one will be MAD enough to become an in mate until it has been WELL aired ! In the list of causes to be tried in the court of King's,Bench, Dublin, on Monday se'unight, was ALICIA GLENNAN, plaintiff, . and Lieut.-Colonel D: ToLErt .osßoatia, defendant. When listed amongst the other records„. Mr. DELANY, Attor ney for the plaintiff, affixed the term seduction, which had theliappy effect of crowding the Court to an enormous degree with the curious. Oil opening the. case, the ,disappointment was very .severely felt, as expressed in every countenance, at finding is was merely an action for 841. the amount of an account of 'trees sold by a nursery woman of Ballyfin, in the Queen's County, to the defendant, Lieut.-Colonel P.. T. OSBORNE. A very melancholy accident happened .during the night of Friday night se'nnight, near Old Leighlin, which ought to be made publicly known as a caution against sleeping in close apartments in which a fire is kept. Two young gentlemen, sons of Mr. P. of that place, retired to rest at their usual hour. The door, &c. of the chamber were so accurately fitted as completely to exclude the external air, and the evening being damp and cold, they had ordered a pan with' turf embers to be placed on the hearth stone.; In the course of the alight, the family were alarmed by havy groans issuing from thiS apart ment, in consequence of which several ineffectual attempts were made to force the door. This rous ed one of the Gentlemen, who succeeded in un bolting it, and inunediately fell senseless on the door. The other, who was in the prime of life and bloom of health hilt a few short hours before, was already a lifeleis corpse ! His more fortunate brother is still poorly, though not in any danger. —On Thursday night, a baud of armed ruffians attacked the houte of Mr. Baker, of Kilmanagh, in search of' fire-arms. Having been refused, ad mittance, they fired several shots into the house, and their fire being briskly returned by Mr. B. and, a young man_ belonging to the family, the miscre ants set fire to the house, and retreated. We are sorry to say the premises were reduced to ashes.--* (KilkePny Moderator.) At Shrewsbury fair, last .week, there was not . a large supply of tattle, and the buyers being nu merous, occasioned a-brisk sale at an advance on late prices. Fat cattle averaged 84d. per pound ; of fat sheep there Was a tolerable supply at 9d.; store pigs were lower,and,there were many in the fair, and fat ones fetched' from 6d. to •7•1 1 d. per lb. Owing to the late scarcity. - of grass, the quantity of butter for sale was comparitiyely small ; prime tubs from 15s. to 15s. 6d..p•ilr gaun of 121 b. Prime cheese from 68s. to 7fis. per cwt.

A curious mistake lately - occurred at a fair at Shotts, in Scotland. .The Edinburgh Sedeant of Police went there with two Officers in quest of a man known to have been concerned in recent rob beries at Glasgow and Edinburgh. They ascer tained that be was in the place : but whilst deli berating in a public-house about steps for securing him, they were themselves apprehended by a party of constables, .as suspicious characters, and conveyed to Hamilton gaol, and were twenty-four hours in confinement before they were suffered to depart.
