The new Haymarket Theatre was opened on
Wednesday night for the first time, and when the
curtain rose there was a very full attendance of ele-
gant company. It rose about seven o'clock, and
displayed same of the distinguished members of the
Cale Drantatique ; amongst whom we were glad
to observe Miss Carew. They performed " God
sass the King," which called forth the customary
conflicts between, we will not say rival parties, luit
persons differing a little in opinion. The efforts to
substitute particular words, or to apply certain pas-
sases, produced, at times, laughable effects. One
party, fbr instance, loudly joined in the burden of
the Air—" Glid save the King," and another party
promptly, and quite as vociferously exclaimed " THE
QUEEN ;" and when the loyalists joined in the line
el Frustrate their knavish tricks," their opponents
retorted with no ordinary vehemence—" Confound
their polities." The Court party encored the per-
formance, and the opposite party, not to be behind
hand, loudly supported the call for an encore, with
the stipulation—" for the Queen, for the Queen !"
It was accordingly repeated, the word "QUEEN"
being substitt ted in many instances, by considerable
portions of the audience —Mr. Terry afterwards
stepped forward and delivered an Address on the
opening of the Theatre, which in general was pointed
and appropriate ; it was recited in an earnest and
impressive manner, that reflected credit on the per-
former, and told well with the house. The opening
Piny was Sheridan's Rivak ; the several perfiirmers
were warmly greeted as they entered, and • hey
were flatteringly applauded iu the progress of the
Comedy. . _

Unfo riaranic accideni.—Wedne&lay morning Cie
driver of a hackney coach, when turning the corner
of Parliament-street, the hind wheel of his coach
came in contact with the post with such violence as
to upset the coach, and knock the driver from of his
boa; by die lull he dislocated his neck, and was
otherwise much hurt. He was carried to the hos-
pital by the bye-slanders. Fortunately there was
no person in the coach at the time.
Last week a contract was entered into by a
butcher of Canterbury, thr the supply of tile work-
house frith mutton, by the carcao, at threepence
three fad hingr per pound.

EEECUTlON,—Wednesday morning was ushered in
by the awful spectacle of the execution of the following
six unfortunate individuals, viz. Charles Wade :red
Robert Holding, for a burglary in the house of Mr.
Brown, Graflou-sheet, Seven Dials; John Blakeney,
for a highway robbery; Mathias George Driscol, for
extorting money fruits a servant of the I)uke of Norfolk •;
Ceplitis Quested, for un.awfully assembling with fire-
arms ou tile coast of Kent, and resisting the seizure of
some suitugled goods; and John Shape, fur forging the
signature of his superior officer, with intent to defraud.
—Long before the hour of execution, the Old Bailey was
crowded to excess by an immense assemblage of pawns.
Sorm after seven o'clock the Sheriffs (Messrs. Waithritan
told 11111i:tins) arrived at the prison, and initnediaiely
proceeded to the press yard, where Driscol and Blakency
were attended by the Rev. Mr. Devereux, the Roman
Catholic clergyinair. After praying some time tit
irons were struck off ; they appeared extremely repentant,
and were loud in their acknosyledgments to Mr. Browii
the keeper, and to the Rev. Gentleman. Quested was
then brought in ; lie shook hands with tile other pri-
soners, and assisted in removing his irons. The thane
remaining tollottunate men were then br ,ught I.
Suave, on entering die press yard, bowed to the pennant
plesent, and maintained the utmost firmness;
hr aduw-
nished Driscol for disturbing the other prisoners by tits
exclamation. The awful procession then 'nosed through)
the passages of the prison to the place of execution ;
Blakehey ascended toe scaffold fist, followed by Driscul,
Holding, %Vatic, and Snape, the latter of whom joins
incotiversation with the Rev. Mi. Baker, the Dissenting
Minister, discussilig various passages of scripture whin
great composure, and concluded by saying, he hoped the
desired example would have the intended effect. He
expressed his anxiety as to the future welfare of his fa-
intly, shook hands with seseral gentlemen, and hoped
this would be a salutary warning to them. lie then
ascended the scaffold with a firm step, and in a few
minutes the fatal drop fell, and the unfortunate men were
launched into eternity. After hangiug the usual time,
their bodies were delivered to their friends, sonic of
whom, we understand, are of great respectability —John
Shape was a purser in the navy, a young man of most ret- •
peciable family. His firmness and resignation to his fate,
accompanied with a surpr.sing cheerfulness during the
whole of his confirtement iu Newgate, excited the asto-
nishment of all %vim witnessed it, and his gentlemanly
Illalliiers and persevering exertions in bringing his fello.v
prisoners to a due sense of their religious duties, and the
happiness of true Christians hereafter, were productive of
the most pleasing effects, and rendered him a pattern
among his unfor.utiate companions. He was a most
excellent husband and father, and the parting of his wile
and family was distressing beyond descripttuo. He has
left six children, hve girls and a boy (the eldest only 15
years o:d), to lament Isis loss, and whally %sit:tout 1:le
means of support.
