AN OFFICER OF TUE 21ST REGIMENT KILLED
AT (11,./AGOW.—We (Nora Britoil.lt Mail) regret to sesta
that one of the offinrs of the 2tat Reglement, at present ger.
risoced lure, met with en eacideA, which shortly after-
wards resulted W death. Th. name of tie officer is
Lieut. Clemision. So for as we hew learned the circum-
stances, they appear to be these : —Leaned, who was ae-
rated with a hunting club, had mad. arrangements for a
meet with the hone da yesterday forenoon, and w-a in the
act of moaning his hunter in the Barteksquan, when the
accident took place. The animal, young and high-spirited.
shied as his muter put his left foot into the stirrup, which
had the Hat et throwing toe officer to the ground on pi.
back, his foot still remaining in the stirrup. The horse be
coming still more restive, made a short leap, and came
darn with the whole weight of its four feet spin the
OAR and abdomen of Lieutenant Clemison, who, from the
circumstance already mentioned, wet unable to avoid the
shock. The accideo: had been ,een by two utile, sergeants
of the regiment, who ran forward to rescue their officer
from his dangerous situation, but they only notched in
time to find him almost speechl. so. lie was able to arti-
-1 agate a few words in 'Serene, to the place where he felt
the injury most arrtely ; but almost immediately after-
sw,rds became iimusible. On being curried to her garters
the &nictitate of the surgeon, who from his winnow had
been an tyewitn,es of the scene, was instantly rendered,
but all was an Tait!, the unfortunate slicer expired in less
than halt en hour. Drenthe' was • very fine young man,
much respected by the officers, and a great favourite among
the meu of the reitiment. Ile joined the corps about ten
years ago in the Ear.
THEATRES AND ACTORS AT THE RESTORATION.—
Nut the least striking effect of ti. restoration of the King
was the revival of the English stage. The theatres boa been
closed and the player Slanted fur three and twerty years,
and in that period a new generation had arisen, to whom the
entertainments of the stage were known but by name. The
theatres revived therefore with becoming splendour, and
with every advantage which stage properties, new and im-
proved scenery, and the costliest dresses, could lend to help
them forward. But there were other advantages equally
new, and of still greater importance, without the aid of
which the name of Eleanor Grape would in all likelihood
never have been known. Fusee the earliest period of the
stage in England till the theatres were silenced at the out-
break of the Civil Wu leads charavers had invariably been
played by MOO, and during the same brilliantperiod of our
dramatic history there is but one instance of a sovereign ma-
naging • performance at • public theatre: Henrietta Maria
was preseat onos, and once only at the theatre in the Black-
frian. The pla!s of Shakespeare and Ben Jenson," Which
so did take Ern and our Jam s." were invariably seen by
those sovereigns, as afterwards indeed by Charles 1., in the
halls, ban, uttieg houses, and e_tkpits attached to their
palaces. With the itestoratia cane women on the stage,
and the King and Queen, the D..kne of York and Bucking-
ham, the chief courtiers, and the maids of honour, wen
among the constant frequenters of the public theatres. Cheat
interest was used at the Restoration for the erection of new
theatres in London, but the King, acting it is thought on
the advice of Clarendon, who wished to stem at all points
the flood of idle gaiety and di,sipation, would not allow of
more than two the King's Thatre, under the controul
of Thomas Kiiligrew, and the Duke's Theatre fio called in
compliment to his brother, the Duke of York), under the
direction of Sir William Davensot. Better men for the
purpose could not have been chosen. Ktlligrew was one of
the grooms of the bed-chamber to the King, a well-known
wit at court, and a dramatist himself; and Daseoant, who
filled the of of Poet Laureate in the household of the
King, as he had dons before to his father, King Charles 1.,
and been • gunmetal writer for the stage, while Ben Jonas'
and Malaga were still alive. The two brothers patronised
both houses with equal tannins'', and the two patentees
vied with each other in cats ring successfully for the public
amusement. Tree King's Theatre (the stags on which Nell
Owyn performed), or " The Theatre," as it was commonly
called, stood in Drury-lane, oa the site of the lament build-
ing, and was the tint theatre, as the present is the to arch
erected on the site. It was small, with few pretensions to
architectural beauty, and was first opened on the Bth of
April, 1663, when Neil woe a girl of thirteen. The thief

sealers or assists. The pit lay open to the weather for the
