AMUSEMENTS FOR THE WEEK.

More than ordinarily attractive will be the amusements of
the present week, for, in additioa to several novelties which
are announced as forthcoming, the Queen has signified her
intention of honouring the two winter houses by her pre-
sence, having commanded the perfermances at Drury-lane
Theatre on Wednesday, and at Covent-garden on Friday
next. In these drooping times of the drama the patronage
of our youthful Queen must be hailed as a happy omen, as
her personal attendance cannot fail to have a beneficial
tendency ; end if frequently conferred, as it is to be hoped
it will be during the scoot), mast tend to revive in fashion-
able society that taste for dramatic; entertainments which,
it is to be regretted, since the days of her grandfather,
George 111., who so liberally patronised them, has been so
greatly on the decline. Herillustrioos uncles, George IV.
and William IV., though both of them the professed and
ardent friends of the drama, were from age and its infirmi-
ties, incapacitated from bestowing that personal aid, which,
above all Aim, was most calculated to promote its inte-
rests. Our present monarch, on the contrary, has both
youth and health or. her side, and, moreover, is said to en-
tertain a strong partiality for it ; its professors, therefore,
and those who wish it success, may look forward with
brighter and more certain hope of its restoration.
Drury-lane to-night and to-morrow, Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday, will represent the new dramatic spectacle of
Caraclacus, followed by Mozart's opera of Don Juan, save
Saturday, when will be produced a new ballet called
Daughter of the Danube. On Wednesday, by command
of her Majesty, Mlle's opera of The Siege of Rochelle, and
Poole's comedy of Simpson and co.
Covent-garden to-night commences with Shakspeare's
tragedy of Macbeth, with a new and powerful cast, after
which will be produced a new one-act farce called The
0. iginal, to conclude with O'Keefe's musical farce of The
Poor Soldier. To-morrow will be revived Shakspeare's
historical play of Henry the .Fifth, with Tuber's opera of
Fra Diavolo. On Wednesday and Thursday the new
comic opera of The Pa; bers of Bassora, and the Parole
rf 11»iour. On Friday the performances, by command of
her M .jesty, and on Saturday, The Barbers of ,basso; a,
with other entertainments.

The Hayrwirket every evening this week will present
Knowles% comedy of The Love Chase, to-night with
Black Eyed Susan and The Old Commodore ; to-morrow
with The Romantic Widow and The Pilot ; on Wednesday
with Cite. time) Wapping Old Stairs and other enter-
tainments:

The Adelphi to-night and during the week, the new drama
of Valsha ; or, the Si,atie Queen, and Rory °More.
The Olympic to-night, to-fl enTwi and Wednesday, A
Dream of the Future, followed by The Clonally Squire and
the farce of The Duel; or, My Two Nephete# ; and on
Thursday will be produced a new burletta.
The St. James's to-night and during the week The Ca-
binet, with the new burletta of Temptation ; or the Vale ty
Sarnen, and other entertainments.

The Surrey this evening and during this week a new
nautical drama called Wapping Old Stairs, The Sculptor's
Study, and Dc Monval.
City of London (Norton Folgate) to-night and during
the week, Don Juan, with Life and Fashion, and The Rose
of Co rbcil.
The Lyceum (Opera Buffa) opens on Thursday night
with Donizetti's opera of L'L'lisir d'ilmore, and other en-
tertainments.

,
We have areal; pleasure ill stating that Sir Matthew
Tierney received on Tuesday last a communication from
Sir Henry Wheatley, Privy Purse, announcing the Queen's
gracious patronage of the Sussex County Hospital and
Brighton Dispensary, and signifying her Majesty's intention
to give a donation of 1001. annually to ti;.." hospital, and
201. annually to the dispensary. We hope that this gra-
cious and liberal act will induce others, who are blessed
with the means, to contribute to the support of these noble
institutions.—Brighton Paper.

LONDON :
MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1837•

It will be seen from the Resolutions passed at a liZe-,
ing of the farmers who attend the Edinburgh mar tho
which are given in another part of The Sun, that afr
state of the distilleries in Scotland is attracting the the
tention of the agricultural interest in that part 0f our
country. It would be wonderful if it did not"— re,
only surprise is that the Scotch agriculturists have
mained so long quiescent under the disadvantgiesv
which they have experienced from the partial and `1 re
just administration of the Excise laws. their Wes
sure that had they exerted themselves with fore
usual energy and perseverance, they would bet_ii,
now have been put upon an equal footing with tt;
fellow-subjects in the southern part of the kingd°o'

and that the result which is now seriously threat °A,
their interests would never have occurred. It is,°
ever, not yet too late to remedy the evil. Let thein,
with unanimity and vigour, and success. is cier,t;gnios
Let them meet in every county and pass reiont-be
similar to those to which we have referred. If this Le
not done it will be difficult to persuade either e,
public, or those who have the power of granting /for
dress, that there is any serious or general ground 0
complaint. It will be said, and not without rests° ;
" when the agriculturists suffer we know well theY art
complaining,not backward in and therefore, if te'
do not complain, we are sure they do not suffer."
It is probable that some districts, from local Coe
cumstances, may be sooner affected by the stopPeoo
of the distilleries than others ; but there can be t
of
doubt that, sooner or later, all must feel the effeci of
such an event ; and when some of the principal
these establishments, those, in fact, whose ear, to
would give them the best chance of doing businessad
advantage with the smallest profit, have sos Pen
their operations, it is time for the growers of the e°
modity with which they operate to look about thel,rll.llo
The merits of the question lie in a nutshell. of
Scotch distillers work up the inferior grain
which, from the soil and climate, there must alvlf:e.
be a considerable proportion in Scotland—in ulanti.fiee,

with,
to be made into gin for the English market. is

such an outlet for their produce, the Scotch agricultur,
would not be able to dispose of their lighter quebttio
of grain, and even with this outlet they will, at
seg'
low rate at which they must sell their grain this
than
son, realize very small profits—(in any other w3Y that
by feeding cattle and pigs with it.) Nor, 311 oteb
