Tflt HAPPY INIAR,RIAGE, AS Ail EPITAPH.

Here lies a constant pair below;
Who knew mat matrimonial woe,
And neer e.xpress'a.a wish to part';
love the sole regent of each heart.
NVithout a clOud their minutes roll'd,
And lite's las; 'sands were sandsof gold.
What precious grains ! what chaiming we'atiferl
You ask how long they lived together
From good authority Y 'speak,
; liv'd together-one whole week!

iti.—The Chapter Of Accidents', one
'of the very best of our 'modern Comedies; drew a
muncrons• audience hist'night to the Hay-Market
Theatre, .and was altogether very well supported.—
Mrs.' GLOVEit wags the best Cecilia . that has
been-seen since the dap MissFARREN'. She
throughout supported the "Charaater with a very in-
teresting e)yressiou of delicacy, sensibility, and cOn-,
tritiou. Mr. PALMER, jun. appeared to so much advan7
tage in the part of Woodville, that it was eVident he
would Make a more distinguished figure on the
Stage if he were diligently to cultivate his talents.--:-
LISTON'S Jacob was exquisitely diverting, as well as
natural and simple throughout.--Lord Glenihore had
a very respeCtable
,representative in WHITFIELD;
and MArurws rendered Governor Harcourt very
prominent in the Piece. It would be injustice to
pass over CHAPMAN, who performed the-part of
Grey: with feeling and moral energy.. Mrs. GIBES
ako rendered Bridget very entertaining. 'The Au-
dience gave the Play altogether almost as much
applause as it had been accustomed to receive 'at its
most attraltive period.

CHERRY, 'the Actor, has taken the management
of the Richmond Theatre, which opened for-the
season on Monday night, with the. Comedy of The
Schoollr Friends, and a new After-piece, entitled
Poor, .37ary, or, The Maid of the bin. Miss
C4RRY, an interesting young Lady, who appeared
two or three seasons, ago on Drury-lane Stage, was
the heroine' of the latter piece. Her qualities were

Lord Ho WE used to tell of 'one of his tars, a 'brave;
fellow, but .a little too fond of a can of grog, who

murdered any man, nor no man ever murdered me;

His Majesty's Government itving it in contemplation fo
make some alteration in the allowances which have hitherto
been grouted to Volunteer Corps of Infantry and Artillery
serving on the June Establishment, it a !Tears to me to be
expedient that the different Commandants of these Corps
should be directed to discontinue, after the 24th instant, exer-
cising their respedive Corps, and also to postpone drawing
any 13ills upon the General Agent on account thereof; unti
the regulations now under consideration, respelling the al _

finally decided on and circulated; and I have to request that
you will order such directions to be given as you may deem
necessary for carrying this measure into cited. •
