Tli E news of I l eace has been celebrated here with the most enthusiastic joy : a grand Illu urinationlook place on. Monday evening ; and the Inhabitants, dividing into loyal parties at the different Inns, dined and spent the day with the greatest harmony and good order. To-night there is a splendid Ball .and Supper on the joyful occasion at the Roams, which is expeAed to be fully attended. Our Theatre was but indifferehtly .supported till the arrival of Mrs. Si DDO Ns, who has, played a few nights ti overflowing houses: We were last night favoured with her Lady Randolph, which she per formed in a manner that defies the warmest panegyric to do a sufficient justice. The Farce of " For tune's Frol;c," followed, , which was rendered high ly diverting by COLLINS, jun. in his just and na tural performance of the Country Boy. TORBAY, OCT' i 4. As soon as the Ratification of the Preliminaries of Peace' were known here (Monday)" the bells were rung, and flags displayed at various places ; in the evening the town was splendidly illuminated ; the guns from the different vessels in the harbonr- were fired; joy beamed on every countenance, and the horrors of War were buried in oblivion by the certainty of what will heap blessings on our Coun try, and diffuse happiness to millions of individuals. This evening, if the weather permits, all the great guns and howitzers at the Berry Head Forts will be discharged at seven o'clock ; afterwards the field-pieces and small arms belonging to the North Hants will fire, when their Barracks will be illu minated, and fire-works displayed. BRIGHTON, OCT. 14. His Royal Highness the PRiNCEI, of WALES ar rived on Sunday evening last, to the great joy of the whole town. On Monday the joyful tidings of Peace was cele brated here, the bells rang from six in the mottling till twelve at night ; never was the sazisfaaion of the people more Wily displayed, 'Young and old wore ribbons emblematic on the occasion—Peace and Plenty The Sea Fe n c ble s fired a feu.de-joje, marched from thence io the PRINCE!S house, and gave him three lobd_ huzzas : with that liberality which has ever niarked our Royal Guest, he ordered them two hogshead.; of beer. _ _ Brilliant illuminations took place in the evening, the whole town appeared in a blaze. The most distinguished were His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WAi..us, flambeau*, burning round his house, and every window lighted. This happy day closed with a Ball and Supper at, the Castle, attended by. near five hundred fashion able visitors ; it one o'clock the room was opened with the most sumptuous entertainment ; every deli cacy that could be procured. BUXTON, Oc.r. PEtcHArs in, no place in the British Empire have the expressions of joy, upon a small scale, been more apparent than at Buxton, so celebrated for its Spa and salubrious Warm Baths. Yesterday morning the Post, which had been anxiously expeeted, was welcomed in with the most joyful acclamations. _ _ 'At dawn of day the drum beat—the Town's Peo ple 'assembled, and with a good band of music pa raded the streets--cockades in every hat, joy in. every countenance ! Every one seemed emulous to excel in liberal demonstrations of that heartfelt sa tisfaaion which was common to All. Copious liba tions were poured out to Peace and Plenty! loyal, .patriotic, and constitutional toasts were drank ; and the whole Cavalcade seemed inspired with gladness and harmony. In the evening, there was a general and very .ele gant Illumination, the beauty of which was greatly assisted by the fineness. of the evening; the various forms:and peCuliar situations of the buildings, and chiefly by the struaute of that superb : and admin.. Isle edifice the Crescent; the windoWs.of.which were' all lighted up in a pyramidical form: Luminous figures, painted devices, and transparenCies,..were displayed in different parts of the Town. At night there was a grand bonfire at the Cross; and upon the principle of enabling the laborious class of Peo ple to forget the sufferings which they so patiently sustained during the War—go encontage them to look forward' " with hope; and to appreciate highly. theblessing of returning Peace, the Populace were legated with several barreli of ale. -The day was uncommonly auspicious, exhibiting a - fine blue sky, and the evening remarkably . calm: The prospect, from the hill fronting the Crescent; was in the highest degree iMptessiVe.and sublime ! The immediate refulgence of an almost connected blaze of lightthe dark shade of the adjoining hills—Larid the distant horizon terminating the view, by' the softer - radiance cif a beautiful Aurora Bo- There was a Ball in the evening at the Great Hpteli where almost all the Pashionables of the }Mace attended ; and the day concluded with the Utmost hilarity and joy. • On Tuesday last. died at her house in fiertfo-rd- Street ; the Countess of UoLlar E rtzssr.—"the world has loft in this every respeaahle charaeler; one of the most invariable examples of genuiti;e . piety and' virtttei unsullied purity of condita, and•perfea good breeding her sense was of the most •sterling kind, improved by much reading and knoWledge of the world, in.the highest .ranks of which; .she .mixed front a very early ; to the latest teriod of • her'life, without being contaminated by its follies or devi •i -ing into its errors.

THE THEATRE, Covent Carden. .'t A sudden indisposition prevented Mrs. Br L LING. Tori from performing last night at this ,Theatre, and the Comedy of Speed the Plough • was, there fore, substituted for the Opera . of Arteixrli-es. .The absence of this exquisite PerforMer was of course great drawback On. the profits of the night, but the House was tolerably-well attenJed.. As Mr. H. joi-iNs - ro,Dr7. is still on the sick-list; his part of Henry was assigned to Mr: BRUNTON, who supported it with a degree of ability which re . - quire& no apology for the unexpetled adoption of it. There is in Mr. BRiINTON'S general manner . an in genuous' simplicity, blended with- the fervour of youth, very well suited to this.charaaer. He played with such unaffected emotion and•good sense, as made a strong impresssion on the Audience, and procured him a considerable share of applause. Mr. LACY again performed the part of Sir Philip Plana:ford, with an evident display of judgment, and an assumption of the manners of declining life, hardly to be expeded in so young a man. Parental : tenderness, and a spirit struggling with remorse, tetror, ,and dejeelion, were well represented. His utterance, however, is rather too slow and languid, even with all due allowance for supposed age, soli, citude, and debility. Mrs. H. JOHNSTON resumed her part of Miss Blandford. She was more playful than Mrs. Li TcIiFIELD, but not quite sti charafteristic. The part is indeed too much in the style of the German School, which allows Young Ladies to make tender advances to the objet of their partiality, and this feature -in the, charaaer Mrs. H. JoHfcsi:ox does not properly soften, but rather augments. • Dile ND E N and FAwc ETT,ITI Sr; Able nandy, and his, accomplished Son Bob, gave, as usual, a strong support to the Pieces and were not a little diverting, to the Galleries.

The MIKE of KEI.TT is a very cdnstant attend Ant at Coven,t,Garden Theatre. The new private Box up two pair of stairs, has been fitted up for the ac. commodation of His Royal Highnesg.

Hot. MA N we have no doubt, will soon place the Irish Stage neva •more respectable footing than it has heretofore been. We consider it ; in this re_ spelt, a fortunate circumstance that he has succeeded in getting even half the property, which we hope will prove highly beneficial tai himself. The progress of civilization in the Sister . King doin will doubtless be much accelerated by the Union. There seems indeed to be foam for im provement,. for we are told by a late Traveller, that though the People . of .Cork have a good taste for theatrical amusements, they. threw bottles at Madame MARA'S head on her first appearance, and 'died Miss FARREN on. her. benefit night with rot ten apples.

After the - cause had been heard, the Knight, or rather the Knave of the Shears, was sentenced to pay twenty-six shillings and twO-pence. "Why;" said the man, " that is more than the things were worth." " Yes, my friend," said one of the Commissioners; " but you have here to pay both the casts and the costs of suit." A meeting took place on Tuesday morning• ttt leven o'clock, in the Htindred Acies, near Sheer ness, between two Gentleinen of that place, accorn partied with their Seconds; to 'decide ad affair of honour.
