COBURG THEATRE.

At this, the prettiest of the minor theatres, the Reign of
Ilrrur has once snore been revived, with considerable alter-
ations and additions. It was found upon its first produc-
tion to be a most attractive melo-drama, and if we may
judge from the appearance of the house last night, it is
likely to prove equally so in its new shape. Amongst the
alterations, the principal one is that of the introduction of
Napoleon Bonaparte in the last scene, where he is made
to commence his career by putting an end to the Reign
of Terror, which he does most effectually, for the curtain
drops and the play closes while his artillery are sweeping
the streets of Paris with cannon shot. The Death Fetch
followed, and although they have not the aid of Miss
Kelly's splendid talents, yet they contrived to render the
narrative deeply interesting. The spirit with which this
establishment is now conducted cannot fail to render it
more than usually attractive, for seldom is it that the
public are ungratefal to those who cater liberally for their
amusement.

•• The amount of capital which is daily investing in these six-
culati.ns I shall be safe in estimating at upwards of owe huntlrcd
and :i i; milfions. This sum, large as it is, I hope to see tripled
and quadrupled. Attempts are making to bring these Companies
'no ihsrredit, by stating that they come within the Bubble Act.
I deny tlitt they do. I have the honour to belong to some of these
Corripan,es. and I pledge myself that there is as much integrity in
their views as in those of the Companrof the Bank of England

One of the objects connected with Mr. Price a (the new
lowe of Drury-lane Vieatre) journey to America,
was, for the purpose of renewing the engagements of
tiarcia, and the whole corps of Italian singers and dancers,
American Theatre, where, during the last season,
they cue eminently successful.
In the year MS, some of the best lands on Lord Kin-
naird's (vete, in the Carse of Cowrie, were rental, on old
les.es of ..59 year , at four pounds Scots or 6s. Bd. the acre.
The present rent is 61. sterling per acre!
Ilatsro 1., Au°. 26.—We are truly glad to hear that in
slite branches of commerce, which in this port have been
in the most depressed state, there is an evident improve-
laent, and a disposition to change hands. One article of
considerable consumption, which last week found no sale
at Is/. per ton, is now fetching 261. and anxiously inquired
after by the London dealer.
THE WICILWAII Gs wr..—We have elsewhere explained
that the gang of thieves lately tried at Gloucester were im-
properly called by this name. We have been informed,
that on the release of Thomas Mills, the accomplice and
aPProccr, on whose evidence most of the prisoners were
nnvicted, he was met by a M-s. L"wis, of Itangeworthy,
addressing him familiarly by his Christian name, said,
"Now didnat thee, Torn, steal our silver spoons and
Oren?" (tongs)—,, yta," says Tom, " I did ; and thee
,lislt have 'em again." So taking from his back a large
bl.; in which were several articles of stolen property, he
took these out and restored them to her. ' And arn't
%hove breeches thee'st on my old man's ?" says Mrs. Lewis.
—" Indeed they arc," says Tom, "but I can't strip here,
but if thee It send for them to-morrow, thee shalt have
thtm." They were restored ; and Tom's conscience seems
to hate been so much pricked, that several others, bearing
of XIS. Lewis's good fortune, have applied to him, and re-
trotted many other articles of stolen property.
