HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The Play of The West Indian attracted, on Monday evening, a
crowded and elegant auditory. It was for the benefit of Mr. WEBB,
who, it may he remembered, played one season at CoAnt-Garden; and
ha; since been very successful in the metropolis and provinces of Ireland.
He sung a number of Irish songs in a very masterly style, and his deli-
neation of ilifqpr 071aherty possessed considerable merit. Beleour is a
character difficult indeed to pourtray—at once impetuous, docile, and
truly amiable, it requires much judgment to give even a faint outline of
what the author meant his hero to appear. . Mr. SYDNEY played the
part with great life, and apparent gnietii de caw.. In the sentiniental
points be was truly happy : when he said—" No, Sir, if I knew a man
that thunght more humbly of me than I do of myself, I would take up
his opinion and forego my own"—applause was most deservedly aud
loudly bestowed. The characters, altogether, were sustained with great
judgment. Mrs. SYD NEr and Miss Ow EN looked and played admira-
bly ; and Miss SY D N in Louisa Dudley, was as deserving of the cri-
tic's warmest approbation as of the cheering applause she was honoured
with from a very elegant audience.

---
The Drury-lane Committee have adopted a design for the corporate
seat of the Company, prepared by the President of the Royal Academy,
and highly approved of by hi; Royal Highness the Prince Regent. The
design possesses all the vigour and lcassical taste of Mr. West's pencil.
The Regent is drawn at full length, in a Grecian robe, with one arm
resting on the statue of Shakspeare ; in the other hand he holds a lyre,
stretching it forth to re-animate the Muses of Tragedy and Comedy,
who are represented in the act of ifrotecting the bust of Garrick upon
the ruins of the oh Theatre. The device is most appropriate, and the
execution masterly.

AatoTaEß SOMA BARONET !—One Edward Perrott, calling himself
Sir Edward Perrott, has recently been imposing on the good folks
about Deptford, by pretending to be an agent for the Admiralty, and
thus palming upon a poor woman, named Mrs. Bullen, an Admiralty
protection for her husband ; for which pretended security she paid
Perrott 2M. 13s. 9d. in part, and gave him a large mahogany dining-
tal.)le, and a chest of drawers, as security for the rest. The husband
being g impressed, the collusion of rotection was discovered ; and the
Ktul;itt taken up, who stand' committed for trial ! !
