A DELPHI THEATRE.

The Bartlett* of Errors was performed last night
at this theatre. This pleasant little piece is • ju.
dicious compression of DRYDEN'', comedy of Am-
phytrion ; or, the Two Susie,. The character of
Alemeria was sustained by a fair candidate for pub-
lic favour, who appeared, for the first , in the
same piece • few slights ago. She executed the
airs allotted to her with great sweetness anti effect,
and was considerably applauded. After the per-
formance of the celebrated demo dance, by Mr.
W•LBoURN, in the character of Illahomei, the whole
of the audience stood up, uncovered, amid gave
three times three cheers for the Queetv. The calls
impost the music for " God sane the Qmeen," be-
ing loud and vehement, the Massager came forward,
and, by way of meeting the wishes of the audience,
begged to loam if they would be pleased to have
the national air of " Buie Britannia" performed,
which was acceded to. The basal immediately
struck up, and was accompanied by all the vocal
performers in the company. The entertainments
of the evening concluded with the inelo-drame of
St. Cuthbert', Eve.

The house was fully attended in every part.

We are concerned to find there is strong suspi-

Messrs. STRUTT, at lle!per, in this county, was
occasioned by an incendiary. and we trust the wicked
perpetrator of so base and malicious an act will Hut
long escape discovery.—(Derhy Mercury.)

Jury to coasider their verdict. They turned
round to do so, excepting one raw-boned country-
