his widow, Lady Monies, for her life, his house and
valuables, in Seymour-place, the whole of his mag-

banters, and race-horses. The whole of his estates
devolve on his only lan, who was born in March last.

bills of the day. A notification of this alteratiou
was lint up et all the eutraoces of the house, in or-
der to prevent any disappointment heitig received by
the public. The characters in Rowse° 4,4 Jelict
were sustained by the accustomed peiferniers,
of whom, baring so lately noticed their respective
merits. it is unnecessary for us again to speak.
At half play. the O. P.'s on half-pay entered in
considerable force, and very speedily wade us sensi-

terruptedly is the end of the play. There were
very few O. P.'s to hats, and very few medals
worn. Indeed the supporters of this desperate
sense, seem now to he not a little afraid of sporting
ally dashing demonstrations .1 their attachment to
the cabal. The opiumns of several of the most
upright Judges in the land, and of the most
eminent lawyers, are ascertained, sad all re.
fleeting nien must be aware, that, by joining
with this ridiculous party, they are violating every
law of justice and equity, and exposing themselves
to severe punishment for such misconduct. We
observe thin has Its effect even on the most violent
0. P.'s, who are now become wonderfully cautious
and wary how they commit themselves. It is to
this that we attribute this evening's superior quiet-
ness to any of a late date; to any where the faction
were in such force; mid particularly to soy Altneday
silica the Theatre opened. Some placards were hoisi-
ed in the pit, butnone appeared in the hoses; and
indeed this latter part of the house took very little
share in the disturbances of the night. Of the pla-
cards hitntlesi about, stone were very remarkable;
the following beiug those which chiefly attracted
U. P. applsuse:
" Thalitror of killiap an Murder basin been received "jilt

" We will exhibit placards

These.with some others, of ton contemptible a ne-

round. which the 0. P.'s rallied, danced, and
shouted. There was no diversity in their entertain-
ments. The same irrational, disgustiog. and bru-
tal conduct, disvaced the English character, and
the honiiiir of the metropolis.
The Pantomime of Pon Juan followed, and
though we never were very partial to this par-
ticular piece, we were het exceedingly pleased
to see. that the row. which has resisted every
species of vocal amusement, in a great measure
gave way to the silent powers 'of action. It

to be with little interruption. Grimaldi was
honoured with loud applause on his earl: as Scare-
said his comic faces and contortions effected
more in preserving tranqiiilliry, then the united ef-
forts of the inn Tragedians and Connedians of the
age have done. Lorton played DWI /Wilt" but
warittid spirit end action. Earley is certainly Liore
fit for thew line of acting. The scenery was very
good. and hell seemed to have been taken front

devils noses is as yet too fresh to look like fire. lia
other respects the stage hell is incomparably to be
preferred to the hell in the pit.
A quarrel took place iii *no of the dregs boxes
during ihe afterpieur, and it appeared, front the
0. P. shouts, that their friend in that quarter
escaped the fangs of the Police. Another person,
in the second tier. brought upon himself. by souse
gesticulations. the indignation ef the pit; and,
after endunsig, with must heroical patience and
stoical philosophy. their reviling. mud hooting. for
tea minutes, he withdrew, rather than, by continu.
Mg, give any apparent cause for disorder. The
' private boxes were also dittingisialsed with much
abuse.

After the curtain dropped, the 0. P.'s gave a
certain 'number of groans nod cherts, and gradta-
alfi dispersed. Au altercation between sense of
the lates in the pat and a person in the boxes, pre-
vented their twill ilistteroluit till half past eleven,
when some went home, and some to Bow-street.

The principel character in the piece is Loved, who,
from bring a rake in early life, is led to suspect the
whole sex. after his marriage, and, consequent)
is subject to much uneasiness on account of 1.1,
wife. In the anxiety of a jealeue mind, he admits
no
one into his house,• who is not ugly enough
no be forbidding; and kiwi is the circumstance
upon which the principal situations in the piece
are built. Spectre, a vein coxcomb, whose
countenance is sufficiently hideous to be admitted
without dread, is made the confidant of his weak.
seas, and taker advantage of the dependence placed
in him, to undermine the affections of Mrs. Lovell.
In order the more effectually to accornplieli
he prepares a disguise, which deforms him mere
than nature had done. to wear before the husband,
while he appears before the wife in his native
charms. At length he declares his passion ; but,
unfortunately for him, Mrs. Lovell is nut so smitten
as he imagined. and contrives to make her husband
the witness of • scene in which he declares love to
her. Poor Spectre is accordingly detected, awl,
after exhibiting great effrontery, kicked out of the
house. There is an underplot interwoven with this
story, of which the fellowing is a sketch: Lord Sed.

racter of Miss Mehl:, and forms a design against
her, winch is counteracted by iitzrabon (a student
