the singer, and the ci-devant Mrs. ATKlrtsy
with BARTLEY, late of Drury-lone Theatre, have
opened the Little Theatre, in CaPel-street, Dublin,
with a new Entertainment, which they call An
Even-Intl at Vauxhall:
Mr. WeasTea's f347...—0n Wednesday a Ball
was given to his pupibi in Miss Paul-Psis School, at
the Vicar's Hell, Wells, which was :attended by
most of the dignified clergy and gentry in the neigh.;
bourhood. A more enchaoting scene• has seldom,
been witnessed; the. simple elegance of dress, and
the graceful attitudes and deportment 'of the young
Ladies in the various intricate dances, surpass de--
scriptionond could. not but draw forth the warmest
encomiums on their accomplished Governess and
Miss SINGER, and on the truly graceful and supe-
rior,,style of Mr. Weerree's tuition. Aniongst the
young Ladies who particelarly shone, we have to
notice Miss &ma. ToomisoN and Miss 130%1,N, in
a Pas Suel, and Miss Rica, who danced a minuet
with Mr. Weßrren in,the Most finished stile.—A
grand ballet-datice was performed immediately' be-
fore the minuet by 32 young ladies, with the utmost
ease and elegance, most forcibly evincing the very
superior abilities of their tutor:, The arrangements
for the evening were ably conduCied, and could not
tail to give general satisfailion ; indeed, when we
consider the great assistance Miss P. must receive
from the abilities of the accoMpliblied Miss SINGER,-
we can readily account for the pre-eminence of that
,schooL:aitheir united talents must entitle it to rank
among the first in this kingdom.
Seowieeo.--eAn attempt te rival: Mr. M‘Lsata's
..eote.lerful trotting hotte, which performed 14 miles
hour, on the 23d ult. was yesterday made
en ree,gedfcird road. A spoifiman; at the 'nettle of
CittitooS, undertook to find en animal to trot 14 milei
ii,onehour iu harness, within three' weeks, on
to gol. being laid him, and he fixed on a fleet mare
belonging to a Mr. Smith, a publican. The mare
was driven by a youth sixteen, years of nee, and she
performed six miles and un half in half an hour, hav-
ing once Made a break. The animal broke again af-
ter having performed t t miles in 64 minutes, when
sheaves pulled up, it being evident that speed had
beaten her in every mile of the race,. for she was not
distressed.

it must afford the highest satiscaetion to every
feeling mind to observe the present diminution ,of
capital punishments in the Metropolis. Instead of
twelve or twenty wretched vi6,-tims being hang up
every six weeks, as was tbrmerly the case; there
has been' but a single executiou during the eight
months in which the present Sheriffs have been -in
office, and that a very aggravated case of f'orge►y.
It is equally satisfactory to observe, that this mild'
administration ofthi; laws does not tend to diminish
the salutary effea of them, fur there were never so,
few cases of aggravated crime as at_present. •
