A nu, farce, entitled &gaily Jars, was 'prodoced
last night, and received With decided approbation.
The following is an outline of thk plot

Benedict Porcelain Mr. Lanai Lag.
Delph Mr. Liirroa.
Digoory Dolph lllr. Dilemmas.
Emily ... Mrs. GARRICK.
Liddy Mrs. Paittet.
Mr. Porcelain, a respectable Ahriman bails( about to
retire from business, forms the project of imarrying hie see
(Benedict) to the daughter of his partner, sad (Dolph) hie
foreman has also an inteetioa of rearryint his son (Diggery)
to a Matins. Both dm Does, however Wig els•deetieely
married, Sod it requisite to make their fathers acquainted
with the eircessatasen for which porpoise Benedict eseares
the intercession of Delpb with Porcelain, and Digger, soli-
cits Porcelain to advocate his cause with elph, which gent
rise to a double egufeogite ; for Liddy (the wife of Artery)
being concealed in as upper apartment of the warehouse, ea-
counters Porcelain, whom she mistakes for the father of her
husband, and who is exceedingly disgusted with his aosi's sap.
peeled choice; sad Emily, the wife of Beaediet, coming to the
Loose to entreat forgiveness for her besbend, meets with Delph„
whom she mistakes for Peeeelain—while he, cooeeiving her
to be the wife of Diggeey, is delighted with his ineagi•ed
daughter-ia-law. Mean time, the disappointed partner is-
listing oa • partition of sleet, the psrliss are brought toga.
Iber in the warehouse, obere as etiatretseemeal takes place,
and the respective fathers become satisfied with the climates
of their semi.

This farce possesses the great merit of brevity.
The author has not allowed himself time to grow
dull ; and though the duologue does not sparkle
with the brilliancy of wit and humour, yet from the
exertions of the performers it afforded a good deal of
merriment. There are two very good situations—.
where Liddy, a poor Irishwoman, introduces herself
to Porcelain as his daughter-in-law ; and the scene
of Delph's interview with Entity, whom he supposes
to be as nearly connected with him. Mr. Tufty. es
Porcelain, gave the utmost possible effect to the chg..
meter, which is not prominent. His foremen, Deijoh
(Mr. Wive). is • very important personage; at
least that gentleman contrived to make him appear
so. The authoritative parental air which he assumed
towards his son Diggory, was supported with the
most ludictous gravity. His admiration of his
supposed daughter.in-lmw was also expressed with
that whimsical peculiarity which never fails to pro.
duce a hearty and good-humoured laugh. Mr.
Diggory was as unpolished a clown as
could be desired; and, if it be • compliment, we
may congratulate Mrs. PEARCII on her perfect ac-
quirement of the Irish brogue, in which she has
succeeded to admiration. There is nothing strik-
ing in the music : a duet by Mrs. Gomez and
Mr. Limn Las was honoured with an encore.
On the whole. this is as successful a piece as any
which has been lately produced, and the author has
no less reason than the public to be satisfied with
the style in which his characters were supported.
He has taken care that it should be free from any
encumbrance, any deed weight, so that it proceeded
smoothly without soy of those stoppages which p.
nerally occur on the first night of representation,
and was accompanied throughout with every de-
monstration of satisfuction on the part of the au-
dience. It was announced fur repetition amidst
shouts of applause-

On Tuesday the Corporation of York nho held

The two Sheriffs accordingly repaired, in Mr.
Stapylion's own carriage, to the Duke; and a meet-

ID °ruing, in order to be ready to receive the answer

the Sheriffs drove up to the goes of the Common
lisll in a carriage and four, and Mr. Shipylion an.
nounced the reply of the Royal Duke to the Cur-
porate Body.
It is not requisite here to enter into every minute
particular. sufficient for us to say, that Mr. Stapyl.
ton addressed his Royal Highness at Michael Au.
Belo Taylor's, Esq. at Cautley, in the following
words :

" May it plea.' your Royal Illigameos—The Sheri& of oho
City of York are deputed by the Right Honourable the Lord

and spirited patriotism, gives a brilliant lustre to the es-
&Ratios of his royal Urn."

The Duke of Sussex made the following gracious
reply :

The above baring bees commoniealed to the
Corporate Body, a vote of thanks to the Sheriffs
was ananienously carried, for the able and gentle-
wilily manner in which they had sequined then,.
selves. Mr. Sheriff Wood then acknowledged the
great obligation he felt to Mr. Stspylton. by whose
exertions alone it was that satiefection bad been given
to the Corporate Body.
