Mr. KEAN.—( Fro,» an American Paper.)
How doctors will (liar ! One says Kean is all but
perfection ; another thinks hin► inimitably great
with certain exceptions; while another believes
Maywood to be his nearest equal, and Pritchard
superior, Wallack more so, Cooper and Hodgkinson
still further beyond, and Cooke beyond compari-
son. On this subject friendship is delicate. The
managers deserve respect, and more than thanks
fur their exertions, and ought to have full houses.
Mr. Kean ranks first in England. We are curious to
see their nonpareil. But Heaven mend our taste or
their judgment, or accommodate theatrical fashions
to each other better. A player, at an hundred
pounds a night, ought to be worth seeing. I went
to view my old favourite, Richard, which I had seen
with increased interest, from Hodgkinson down to
the present day. I looked for the person—the voice,
the attitude of the hardy warrior; the occasional
dignity—the manly port—the firm and elevated
demeanour of the Royal commander ; the grave re-
flection—the deliberate resolve—the cool delivery,
of a studied, ertful line of conduct ; a natural,
consistent, and forcible delineation of character; and
fimd—all but my eye and ear—completely satisfied
and delighted. Nit. ADISIRAItf.
The Court of Cassation at Paris has rejected the
appeal of young Pestrel, aged 17, who was checked
in his high► career of crime, namely, the attempt to
poison his father, mother, and several others, thirteen
in number, who had been invited to a family party.
The sentence of the Court of Assizes at Rouen,
condemned him to suffer the death of a parricide,
has been confirmed.

Another monster, Stephen Lelievre, alias Cheva-
lier, has also appealed against sentence of death,
passaxl upon him by the Court at Lyons. This
criminal was found guilty of having poisoned his
two wives, drowning his child, stealing another
child to pass for that he had murdered, and of com-
mitting sixteen forgeries. The appeal was rejected,
and the miler for his execution made out.
The proceedings against Lilly and Wood, who
received sentence of death at the late Adnairalzy
Sessims, liur being parties in the plundering of the
cargo of the Mary, Williams, from Limerick to
London, stranded on the GJodwin Sands iu Decem-
ber, 1818, were commenced and carried on under
the direction of the committee fur managing the
afFairs of Lloyd's, who are determined not to suffer
such disgraceful depredations on vessels in distress
to be eoulmitted with impunity.

The shipping belonging to Leith increased 1,767
tons last year, and has been the means of employing
150 additional seamen.

CAUTION TO BANKERS.—By 55 G. 111. cap.
185, sec. 16, every banker re-issuing promissory
notes, after three years from their respective dates,
is subject to a penalty ofsol. for each note so issued,
provided the said note bears date prior to the :31st of
August, 1815, and likewise the old stamp duty.
Several bankers have reeently been prosecuted under
this act, and have paid very heavy penalties fot the
offence.

On Monday afternoon, the Earl of Harrowby, on
his entering into town in his travelling carriage from
Bath, proceeded down Constitution-hill to the Earl
of Liverpool's house in Privy Gardens, where his
Lordship sat down to dinner,when his valet returned
hi the carriage towards his Lordship's house in
Grosvenor-square. In going out of Piccadilly into
Berkeley-street, Mr. Butler, the valet, observed two
Men suddenly separate flout several others in Picca-
dilly, and followed the carriage down Berkeley-street.
Suspecting their design, he watched them closely
through the glass in the hind part of the carriage,
when he perceived one of them in the act of cutting
the trunk front behind: he immediately threw
open the door, jumped down, and seized the know
by the collar, whom he conducted back to the Glou-
cester Coffee-house, where he surrendered hint to a
police officer, his companion having fled. On Mr.
Butler returning to the carriage, he 100:01 one of
the straps of the trunk cut oil, and the other nearly
severed.

A circumstance of a singular nature occurred nt
the new Chapel, in Curr's Lane, Birmingham, on
Sunday evening, the 31st ult. The Rev. Mr. James,
and a congregation of upwards of t 2,009 persons,
were plunged in total darkness, the connecting pipe
of the gas works being cut off; it is supposad, by
some malicious persons. The screams of fcmalis
and children, and the stench of the gas, threatened
sutliwation and destruction, and the alarm and
anxiety to get out of the Chapel were extreme.—
Many persons soil red, but none very severely. It
is much to be desired that the perpetrators may be
discovered and punished.
The Address from Sheffield, praying for the dis.
tu;ssul of his Majesty's Ministers, was sent oil' on
Tuesday sennight to his (:rate the Duke of
hill. and Earl Fitswilliam, to be by them pr.'sented
to his Majesty. It had received nearly 6000
11.11111%:S.
