end exhibited a considerable alteration in the cast
of characters. The part of Peter PoeSeta. which
Toxs‘v looked so well, and acted so ludacrooalv.
was. on this ocession, filled by Mr. Ilussu.r.. it
is meet dillioalt to conquer first impremions—.but.
strong as was our rerollection of TOILELT'S eteel•
knee. we saw much in the manner of his successor
to applaed soil admire. Mr. Russet.r. wisely eh.
stained from any imitation of Tommy. lie deli.
nested the character as it struck hi. own fancy, and
succeeded its making Peter's innocent peculiarities
very fruitful source of merriment. Mr. J. HWIIIILL
appeared as Gammen • part originally performed
by Mr. Alartnaws. He bustled through it with
much vitracitr, but was not quite so perfect as we
could hate wished—• remark which may be ap.
plied. with equal justice. to several others of the
dramatis persons. This character has. from the
commencement. been improperly dressed. The
aspiring Attorney's Clerk, who meditates en
elopement with a supposed heiress, ought not
to be attired like a Grub.street garretteer.
Litigant, and Mr. Joists. as Clow.
mons, were excellent in their respective ; the
former, a precise. self.tormenting cynic—the lat-
ter, a lively barrister. destitute,. at the same
time, of business, and of the knowledge necessary
to acquire it. Mrs. T. HILL, made her first ap.
petulance in the character of Molly Miran. We
have rarely seen her to so much advantage. Her
picture of the airs and affectation of the boarding.
school Miss. whose education is entirely at variance
with her prospects in life. woe extremely clever, and
was greatly applauded.
After the comedy, • new farce, entitled, “ tee
Pussl'd ; or, Three to (Me." was produced. The
characters were thus represented :

The piece is founded on the loves of Ai/reline.
the daughter of Don Ignatio. and Fits-Edwered, a
gallant young English officer. The Den is, of
course, unwilling to bestow the hand of his daughter
on a heretic, and he insists on her marrying an intl.
mate friend of his. Lucille, the young Lady's maid,
assisted by Hebert, Fits-Edward's valet, and by
Dm Ferdinand. Angelina's cousin, endeavours
to frustrate the views of DON Ignatio—but they
find • formidable bar to their suttees% in the person
of Sancho, Den /patio's trusty WNW, whom no
bribe can seduce from his allegiance to his mister.
Don Ferdinand sad Lucille, by a cunning strata.

who is closely confined. In the mean time Dan
Ferdinand has got admission to Ignatia's house,
and, isi conjunction with Fits-Edward and No-
beet, is on the point of carrying off Angelina,
when Smote, who has the same object in view,
but, determined to have all the credit of the ex-
ploit to himself. has given no notice of his inter).

confusion, that he will be able to carry away An..

feet. A party of Akerasib. whom !pleas) has
concealed in his house, rush out, and the plot of
Den kirdinand, as well as that of Sandie. as ren.
dered abortive. A fresh scheme is now set on foot
by Robert. Having learned that Don Ignacio ex•
peels an old Duenna. Donna Clementine, he puts
on female apparel, and, in the costume of a Du.
emu. is conveyed into the house. The same idea
has struck Sancho, and he shortly afterwards makes
his appearance in a similar garb. The Dooms
herself at length enters the room—but, while flaw
haatio is endeavouriug to discover the true "Simon
Pare," his daughter is wedded to Fits-1 dward. in
an adjoining apartment, to which he found access by
the agency of Don Perdixeod and Led/14. The
merit of this piece consists entirely in the bustle
which accompanies the various schemes that are re.
sorted to, fur the purpose of defeating the jealous
vigilance of Don Ignatio. The plots are ingenious,
and, in general, their effect was ludicrous. As to
its dialogue, it does not furnish, from beginning to
rod, a single pun, joke, repartee. or witticism. Had
the author sat down, with the express intention of
stringing together a number of the most common.
place and insipid remarks (many of them on Mr.
LISTON'S beauty). he could not have succeeded more
completely. author does not appear to think
with Acres. that " the damns have had their day,"
since sanely an observation is made by Robert or
Sancho, that is not accompanied by a damn. The au.
dience naturally took offence at such a breach of de-
corum, and expressed their disapprobation in a very
soneqUivocal manner. Several indelicate expressions,
pirticularly when Robert, isi the costume of the
Damao, exclaims " I shall be revisited." were
also loudly and justly censured. These points
must be radically recarined before the farce can
command the universal suffrage of the audience.
The performers did every thing in their power to
insure the success of the piece, which. however,
was very far from flattering. Mr. LISTON. as
Sancho, and Mr. Itusssi.t. as Robert, played with
their accustomed humour. The former sang a
laughable, sung, to the celebrated Welsh air of
Aryd dy nos, the subject of which was the loss of
• mates nose by the bite of a filly, and the burden,
" AA! hide your nose!" It was vociferously
encored. Mr. DURUSET, who supported the part
of tits-Edward. sang • pretty song, which has
been adapted to a favourite waltz air. It was
encored. Ws. Gums was quite at home is the

The house was crowded in every part.

A Court-martial was held on Thursday last, se
board his Majesty's ship Queers Charlene (of which
Captain HoLim was Prraident), to try Mr. JOHN
BEAL, Purser of his Majesty's ship Fahrsouth, for
appearing on shore in plain clothes, and for treating
his Captain with disrespect. The Court agreed
that Mr. BEAL had appeared on shore out of
uniform, contrary to the Port Orders, but that he
had bre,' permitted to do so by the Prosecutor,
Captain H. COLLIBIL; and that the charge of dia.
rt -pectful behaviour to his Captain was in part
proved, but in consideration of the circumstances
did adjudge him to be only severely reprimanded,
and cautioned to be more careful in his conduct.

On Monday lest as Mr. WILLIAMS. of Saydon,
with a party of the friends of Mr. BIN lITT, were re.
tur►►ing from Salisbury. where they had been to
vote for that gentleman. the coach was overturned
near Marlborough ; fortunately not one of the
gentlemen received any injury : it appeared one of
the linch-pins came out and the wheel came off.
It is rather singular that the very same party, going
down to vote for Mr. BINETT at the last contested
election. were overturned within 100 yards of the
same spot.

We are happy to learn, from our private sources
of information, on which we can rely as, perfectly
authentic, that• the distress in the manufacturing
districts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lan.
csshire, &c. Ins been mach exaggerated. A great
change hay, it is true, taken place: those who could
formerly hale earned 2.55. in four days, must now
work six to obtain 14s. or 15..; but upon these
terms the industrious ally obtain employment now,
with the prospect of advancement, should the limn
isbprove. Those who are absolutely Without work
are the wont disposed, whwthink that by riot and
outrage they shall ultimately succeed iu obtaining
better terms, and had rather be idle than submit
to soy reduction of wages. The manufacturer. are
doing business to a fair extent, but cannot at pre-
sent advance the 'sine( their journeymen, without
reduciik their number, which it would not be rely
desirable to do.—(B►istol Oisereer.)
