GLOUCESTER THEATRE.

Our Theatrical Corps closed their campaign on
Friday se'imight, after u season productive of higher
gratification to the public, and more lucrative to
the manager, than has ever been known in this place.
They were honoured with good hoosea every even-
ing, sometimes overflowing; and the busineee of
the stage was conducted throughout, by Mr. Wat-
son, jun. with such vigilant attention to the accom-
modation of his liberal patrons, andllie correctness
and novelty of the performances, that their depar-
ture excited some degree of regret. The per-
formers were certainly the beat we have seen here,
sad their demeanour is private Isle is a- alike respect.
able. During the last week, Mr. Etliston, in his
way to Manchester, performed tao evenings ; and
was hailed with the molt cordial and flattering wel-
come, each night, by a crowded and fashionable
audience. Indeed, such was the propriety and
ener.,ov with which he represented the characters of
°on-Felix and Ortasinn, that he was repeatedly in-
vited to give a morning performance in addition, the
urgency of his Issitte.s tit Nlstichester preventing a
longer stay. lo an appropriate arldre-s to the au-
dience, however, he said, that .this was unfortu-
nately itirompatible with his engagements; but
that, at some future period, he hoped to have the
pleasure of again en peering before them, when he
should use every effort in his power to contribute to
their amusement, in gratitude for the very peculiar
and distinguished reception with which his first ap-
pearance in Gloucester had been honoured. Ar-
rangements had likewise been made by the manager
for closing the season with the performance of Mr.
Cooke, in a few of his principal characters ; but
this gentleman having been unexpectedly included
in the cast of a new play at Covent-Garden, frus-
trated this intention. On the last evening, Mr.
Watson delivered a poetical Address of Thanks ;
in which he appeared less the actor than the man, in
expressing the genuine feelings of a grateful heart.

Mr. Hai=ltT made his appearance ■t Come-
street T;ieatre, Dublin,on Tbeisdiry se'nnight, for
the firer tune these seam years, in the character of
Sheet, in The Jew, when he was received throug•r
the mire ot• the performance with applause.
On the 20th ult. a ploughing-match took place,
on the farm of Beaconsfield. et Great Tew, in the
county of Oxford, in the holdingof Mr.STENIIOII6e.
Woo (who rents about 1500 arable acres, of the
valuable estate of Great Teo', exclusive of his fa-
mily concerns in Scotland), when twenty ploughs
started, ten belnoging to Mr. Woof), and ten to S.
C. LOUDEN, Esq. Tew Lodge ;11 were held by
Englishmen, and 9 by Sentchmen; all the ploughs,
in pairs, in the Scotch stile, without drivers. The
work was eXeCtlled in an exeellent manner, except
being ploughed rather wide, which the men found
necessary, in order to make a strait furrow, as the
ground broke in pieces where ploughed narrow,
owing in a great measure to the loose Lunn abo►e,
and the firmuess of the earth below, it never hav-
ing been ploughed so deep before. The English-
men hell their ploughs ant mingly well, but the
Scotchmen had the advantage, from their early
habits of cultivation with the plough and pair.—
When the work was completed, Ifs. ..judges awarded
the following premiums vis. To the best English
ploughman, 11. Is.—to the 2d ditto, lii..—rind
to the third ditto, s'. The like rewards to the three
best S•ott h ploughmen. The meeting was nu.
merously attended, the method of ploughing being
new in that part of the country, where the ploughs
go with four or live horses a-head in the forrow
with a driver, and generally plough alm it three
ische. deep upon the lightest of loam, land. It is
probable this match may he the rowing of intro-
(hieing the planqh and pair tutu general use, as the
Engl.sli farmers whir were prevent were well con-
vinced of its superiority. It is intended that a
match upon a more extensive scale, for all kinds of
plough., with suitable premium., shall take place
next season.
