COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.Mrs. Siddons, af-
ter a retirement of several years from the stage, re-
appeared on Wednesday night at this theatre in the
character of Lady Randolph. The performance was
for the benefit of Mr. C. Kemble, and is understood
to be for that evening only. The curiosity of the
public to see this distinguished ornament of the
English stage was extreme ; every part of the house
in which places were not kept was filled in a few
minutes after the opening of the doors. In order
to gratify as many as possible, the orchestra was
appropriated, at a very high price, to visitors, and
the musicians were stationed behind the scenes.—
The reception of Mrs. Siddons was extremely enthu-
siastic. and the applause bestowed on the most
striking passages was both ardent and just. It is
indeed surprising how much this extraordinary
woman still retains of her original powers. Her
narrative of the birth and supposed fate of Douglas,
the questioning Old Norral after the discovery of
the jewels, and the last parting with Douglas, were
all in the finest style. We were much gratified
in the scene of the recognition of her son, by
the eagerness with which the public raised an
occasion, to testify their high admiration of her
when Douglas asks—
. .

•' Itut did my sire se rim,. the rest of men,
" da shim excellest all of , ottmokiml ?"

a burst of applause cnsucd, which continued for some
time without intermission. For the sake of Mrs.
Siddons herself, baying once so decidedly quitted it,
we can scarcely venture to hint at a return to her
profession us a de.irable event ; but we are sure,
that such u model, even with every phy.dcal disad-
vantage, would do more in the present state of tin
stage towards rethrming a certain false taste in
acting that now prevails, than any other circum-
stance that can be named.

Fs sday being the anniversary dins Majesty's It4tla (lay.
when lit emoted into his 82d-year, it was observed inNor-
wi,h, anti throughout the %minty, by the customary de.
snouvti atious of aspect.

Thursday afternoon a woman, genteely dressed,
went to the house of Mrs. Carr, a respectable widow
lady, residing on the Kent Road, near Dept Call,
under pretence of taking lodgings, but whilst Mrs
Carr was preparing to entertain her %%WI a dish of
tea, she stripped the beaufct of some plate, and
walked off with her booty undiscovered.
A daring robbery was committed on Thursday
near the middle of the day. A thief entered the
house of Mr. Hindes, in IVilmot-place, Kent-road.
while Mr. Hindes was from home; his -niece was
in the upper part of the house at the time; and the
maA-servant was in the garden at the back of the
house. The thief effected an entrance at the front
parlour window, and carried off a silver Fills pot, a
number cft,ilver spoons, sugar tongs, &c. and then
made his escape.

Oa ednesday night, or early on Thursday
morning the shop of Mr. James Russell, tailor, in
Shoemaker-row, Blackfriars, was broken into, and
finished and unfinished cloths, broad cloths, &c.
stolen therefrom, to the value-of tool. The rob-
beries are so frequent in this parish, that we arc
doubtful whether the policy of allowing no watch-
boxes is not erroneous; fur the thief has only to
Wait till the watchman has passed, and he knows
the exact time. in which he has to effect his purpose,
namely, while the watchmen ant sitting at the
watch-house tire-side.
