The ruins were still burning this ,morning, and
the engines playing. •
To the honour of Mr. HARRIS, the chief propNe-
tor, and of course the greatesesufferer by this dread-
ful event, it should.be mentioned, that he received
the fatal tidings with the utmost fortitude, and his
first inquiry was whether any- lives were lost. •- As
the extent of the misfortune was not then known to
his son, who informed him of it, he seemed to be '
perfedly reconciled to his losS, under a persuasion
tha: nobody had fallen a victim, and when he heard
all the disastrous consequences which bad occurred,
he appeared to be principally affected •at the many
•which it had occasioned.'

It is understood that the Covent Garden Company
are to peiform at,' the King's Theatre, in' the Hay-
tuaret, until tile commencement of the Opera sea..
son, and then to play tier four nights a week. The
Proprietors of Drury-lane, it is said, have generously
oft;.tred every assistance they can atford, in the use of
scenery, dresses, &c.

THE THEATRE.—The Tragedy of Hamlet was re-
presented last night at Drew y-lane Theatre ; but as
the dreadful event at Covent-garden Theatre has na-
turally
operated strongly on the public mind, there i',
was by no meats a very numerous audience.—Et. - 4
LISTON' played the Hero of the Piece with his usual 1.,,
ability. He was, in the serious passages, rather
more solemn than dignified ; and was too light in '
,these scenes which 'exhibit the playful humour of
the' Pritice. On 'the whole, . however, his perform-
ance wagrespetlable. Mrs. CORRI, wife of one acne
musical composers of that name, made her first ap-
pearance on Theatrical Boards, in the part of Ophe-
lia. Her voice is pleasing,. and she seems to be well
acquainted with music. Her figure, altogether, is
well adapted to the Stage, and when she is embo .
dened by practice, and improved by experience, sh
may prove a valuable acquisition.

After the sentences were pronounced, the Court
.►-noceeded to the investigation of the following case of
Pedory, which was tried by Mr. COMMON SERJEANT
and a London Jury.
Maybrick, a young man about 2fl, was
charged with the commission of Perjury on the trial
of Tolson and Lebeck, which took place ihe Ses-
sion of June last. rhe indi&ttuent 'comprised va-
rious' assignments of the Perjury, and the evidence
adduced on the investigation of the case occupied
the. attention of the Court from Six till half past
elevCn o'clock at night. All the material assign-
ments of which, in the present instance, were, is
op;nior.: MON SElLlzatri, incontro-
verit4 proved against him.
