nnunced the entertainments for Thor.dAy neat, and
then addressed the audience to the iwing e!!..ed:

Loud and general disapprobation was manifested
by the audience.—The moment die curtain rose.
and Mr. MATT M ews presented himself on the sitt:e,
there was an universal cry of 0. Otf ! off!" accom-
panied with recall, and vollies of hisses. Sir. Mae-
vit cws same forward, an entreated to know the
pleasure of the house.
The '43,e,', Balser ! Tie S9ldier't Reurn ! was
vociferated from the galleries. After many at-
tempts to proceed with Tit, Spoiled Chill, Mr. Bllo'-
1 Lel slain addressed the audience, stating that hand-
bills had been primed, and distributed, announcing
the change of entertainments; that it was two
o'clock that thy when the letter he held in his hand
I was received from Mr Jon s STOrlt, which he begged
Ileave to read. Silence being obtained, he proceeded
to read the letter, stating, that Mr. Jotterrons had
I moarit to attend the rehearsal in the mmning, and
his duty in the evening, but was prevented by a
strained knee. A person in the gallery cried out,
" You wrote that letter yourself " Mr. BART LEY
attempted twice to proceed ; but in vain. He also
said, that there was another cause, the indisposi-
tion of Mts. Slots's* is ; that Mrs. MA [THEWS,
however, would have undertaken her part ; but
that the indisposition of Mr. Jou aseoics. for whom
there was co substitute, made it impossible t• 7 COM-
O, wish their w!shes. On this, a hurricane of dis-
approbation commenced, with all sorts of hideous
noise. Ir. WaotialiTO% then appeared, and begged
the induigen.e of the house. A loud cry of "Ge on,
go on," issued from the boxes, and .. No, so," from
the gallery. However, the Farce proceeded, amidst
such tomtit and clamour, th it the stage presented
only the appearance of a Pantomime, for not a word
uttered u;son it etuld he heard, bring drowned in
!:•e horrible clamour that issued front every part of
Cie house. Only one song was attempted; and. in
Less than twenty-five minutes, all was over. Miss
Fisis ea, as I it le Pickle, came on with much spirit,
.ad s.emmed the torrent for some time, but at
length burst into to as, and sobbed aimed. Even
this had no other etfea, than to produce plaudits,
which were drowned in the noise of the galleries.
The curtain having dropped at a quarter oast ten,
all the genteel part -f the audience withdrew ; but
the Gods and Goddesses remand for some time
after, hissing and hooting. We are happy to state,
that all the violence was confined to clamour, and
that no improper aft was committed.
Several fashionable parties having ordered their
carriages at eleven o'clock, the usual hour, remain-
ed for nearly three-quarters of an hour coulnr;
their heels in the lobbies, or huddled together in
the adjoining apartments. la this number were

BOW-STREIT.

MU': i);R OF MR. BLllka.

Yesterday, about eleven o'clock, Mr. GI ARAN
came to the Office to resume the investigation of
the murder of Mr. Blight. He retired to a room
on the first floor, attended by Mr. STAFFORD.
Mary Rack, a servant to Mrs. Wright, in Arundel-
street, Strand, was sent for. We understand, the
substance of her evidence was, that she lived servant
with the deceased thirteen months, and had left his
service about five weeks previous to his murder.
During the time she was in the service, she did not
recollea seeing any fire-arms in the house. After
she was dismissed, Hester Kitchener, the servant who
was in the house at the time the murder was com-
mitted, WAS sent for from the Brown Bear public-
,hpuse. She underwent an examination for above
i, t hours. After which, Mr. Patch was brought
il o r, and continued under very close examination,
tpast five o'clock. The Prisoners were examined
upon, we understand, new points, that have come
out in consequence of the examination of several
witnesses, on Monday evening, at the deceased's
'muse, and several others.

Edward Green, a constable, was convided before
Mr. BOND and Sir WILLIAM Pa asoss, in the pe-
nalty of 51. for refusing to give billets to Serjeant
Johnson, of the 4th Regiment of Dragoons, and
two others of the same Regiment, who had a march-
ing order from St. Alban's to Canterbury.
