A form of Prayer on account of the troubled
state of certain parts of the United Kingdom, to be used

not be read, before the Prayer for all Conditions of Men ;

thereof shall receive the same
0 God, our Heavenly Father, who art rich in mercy and
grace towards all who obey Thy will, and halt promised forgive.
ness and remission of sins to them that truly repent and un.
feignedly believe Thy holy Gospel, we humbly beseech Theo to
look with compassion on Thy Servants, and relieve their
affliction. We have sinned, we have grievously sinned, and
transgressed 1 by holy laws ; we confess our iniquity, we lament
our unworthiness, and meekly acknowledge that by our manifold
oebnces we have Justly provoked Thy wrath : yet deal not with
us, 0 Lord, according to the multitude of our transgressions, but
in judgment remember mercy. For thy dear Son's sake, 0
Lord, give ear to our prayer, and withdraw Thy chastening hand
from us. To Thee alone we look for deliverance ; without Thy
help and direction the power and wisdom of man are of no
avail. Restore, 0 Lord, to Thy people, the quiet enjoyment of
the many and great blessings which we have received from Thy
bounty : defeat and frustrate the malice of wicked and turbulent
men, and turn their hearts : have pity, 0 Lord, on the simple
and Ignorant, who have been led astray, and recall them to a
sense of their duty : and to persons of all ranks and conditions
in this country, vouchsafe such a measure of Thy Grace, that,
our hearts being tilled with true faith and devotion, and cleansed
from all evil affections, we may serve Thee with one accord, in
duty and loyalty to the King, in obedience to the laws of the
land, and in brotherly love towards each other; and that, press.
ing constantly forward towards the high prize of our heavenly
calling, under the guidance of Thy Holy Spirit, we may finally
attain to life everlasting,through the merits and mediation of our
only Redeemer and Advoca'e, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
0 God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Sa.
v lour, the Prince of Peace, give us grace seriously to lay to
heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions.—
Takeaway all hatred and prejudice, and whatever else may hinder
us from Godly Union and Concord : that, as there is but one
Body, and one Spirit, and one Hope of our Calling, one Lord,
one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we
may henceforth be all of one heart, and of one soul, united in
one holy bond of Truth and Peace, of Faith and Charity, and
may with one mind, and one mouth, glorify Thee, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen."

NEWARK CHARITIES.—It being understood
that the Chancellor, Lord BROUGHAM, would pass through
Newark on Friday morning early, on his way into the
North, Mr. HENRY HAZE waited upon his Lordship at

the Clinton Arms Inn, to inform him that a petition erom
the parishioners of Newark to hi• Lordship, respecting the

mat-appropriation of the charities left for the good end

weal of the town of Newark was in the course of signa-
ture. lie therefore wished to know, on behalf of the

parishioners, through what channel it wc.uld be for-
warded to his Lordship. To which his Lordship answered
that the petition was to he sent direct to him, and he

would attend to its prayer immediately.
REGALIA OF SCOTLAND.—WC understand
that his Mums, has been graciously pleased to transmit
to Scotland, for the purpose of being deposited along with
the Regalia, iu the Crown-room of the castle, a beautiful
massive golden collar of the Garter, with rose diamond
and enamelled Omura:, left to his late Majesty King
GRORUE IV. by the deceased Cardinal YORK • and an
ancient rose diamond badge of St. ANDREW, and sapphire
ring set round with brilliants, being CHARLES Me coro-
nation ring. The former of these jewels (which weighs
about three pounds) was presented to King JAMES VL
by his Queen, and worn by that Monarch. These articles
were presented on Satwrday last by Sir ADAM Famine"
Deputy Keeper of the Regalia, to whom his Ma.rEsry
was pleased to entrust these valuable relics when lately in
London, to the LORD ADVOCATE and Lord Justice CLERK,
being a quorum of the Officers of Scotland, in presence
of several witnesses, and were by them deposited in the
Crown-room, along with the ancient Regalia of this king-
dom.— Caledonian Mercury.

The Tottenhain-street Theatre will not, it is
understood, be opened until Easter. Mr. M.FAttateri
has obtained a !ewe of the premises for 21 years. The ar-
rangements ale nearly complete, several of the engage•.
menta being for so long a period as five years. Miss FANNY
AYTON will be the prima donna.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.--Thera was yesterday
a full rehearsal of three new pieces, intended for the open-

ing on Monday next; the first, in which Madame VISTA'S
will perform, to he called The Olympic Gaines, abound-
ing with marked and appropriate localities; another,
Mary, Queen of Scots, in which we understand Misa
Jaamax, late of Covent-Garden, will sustain the principal
character.

BATH.—A division of thatrfine regiment,
the 9th Lancers (amounting to upwards of 100 men), is
still in this city;. but every symptom of disturbance (if
ever there was any) has entirely disappeared from this part
of the country.

Bath is now extremely full of company, and
amongst not the least attractions is " The Royal Victoria
Palk," which on Sundays and in fine weather it thronged
with a gay awl elegant assemblage. The Park is now
very far advanced, and when finished will form, perhaps,
one of the most picturesque promenades in the kingdom.
APPREHENSION, OF A MURDERER.—II
will be in the recollection of our readers that about three
months ago a weaver, named MARSHALL, met his death in
a public-house in Oldham-street, from the violence of a
young man named TRAINOR, who leaped upon hint from
a table as he lay upon the floor. A Coroner's Inquest
being held upon the body, a verdict of " Wilful Murder"
was returned against Matson, wbo absconded immedi-
ately after committing the atrocious act. Although a re-
ward was offered for his apprehension by the constables of
Manchester, and every exertion was used by the police to
discover his retreat, no tidings were heard of him until
Monday week, when Mr. LAVENDER received a letter
from Mr. Almura, of the Liverpool police, stating that a
person, whom lie suspected to be TRAINOR; although he
bad assumed a feigned name, was in custody in Kirkdale
gaol, having been et ntenced to three months' imprison-
meta for an act of vagrancy committed in Liverpool. Mr.
LAvrtraixa immediately sent down an individual to whom
Taarxon's person was known, and who at once identified
him. _ When the term of his imprisonment at Kirkdale is
expired, the commitment by the Coroner will be forwarded
thither, and be will be sent thence to Lancaster, to await
his trial at the next assizes.—llianchester Guardian.

THE THEATRES,

DRURY-LANE.

After the performance of Row 'e insupportable tragedy
of Jane Shore, a new pantomime, entitled Harlequin
and Mother Carey's (thickens, was produced. The
title of this pantomime is well suited to the prevailing
fashion for nautical allusions. The opening scene pre-
sents a view of the North Foreland during a storm, and a
frigate, under close-reefed topsails, traverses the stage----a
fit opportunity for the appearance of Mother Carey, who
is accordingly introduced in her storm chair, surrounded
by her chickens, which looked remarkably like good fat
ducks. The storm abating, Davy Jones, the intimate
of Mother Carey, warns her to her home, and she de-
scends, accompanied by her brood, into her refectory,
which is produced by the rising of the tide, the ocean
being likewise still seen above. The refectory displayed
great taste and fancy, and did the painter, Mr. ANDREWS,
much credit. Thus housed, the spirits of the storm pro
ceed to breakfast, and are visited, among others, by a
Mermaid, Old Sturgeon, and' John Dory. While the
. _

company are proceeding with their repast, Captain
Crosstree appears in his jolly.boat, anxious to catch
some fish. He le►ts go his anchor, which demolishes the coral
table of Mother Carey, maims the Mermaid, and throws
every thing into dire confusion. Anchored, the Captain tries
his fortune,und drops his hook and line,baited with asavoury
piece of junk right athwart the nose of the suffering Mer_
maid, whom it at once restores to vigour, and being
swallowed by her, proves her antidote and bane. Her ap-
pearance, however, frights Crosstree, who lets her and
makes all sail for his ship. Mother Carey resolves to re-

sent the injury, and despatches messengers, who follow
the Captain to his ship, which proves to be the vessel
bearing William. the lover of Blaeh.Ey'd Susan. The
t ile of Black-Ey'd Susan is then paro lied, and at the
moment when William is about to he suspended at the
yard-arm, the Stars interfere and resolve on rescuing
him. The Polar Star takes the lead, converts William
into Harlequin, and the Pleiades summon Susan jn the
garb of Columbine. Mother Carey, still bent on mis-
chief, resolves to plague the new beings, and with this in-
tendon turns Sturgeon and John Dory into C./owns, and
Davy Jones iota Pantaloon,. The Mermaid she con-
verts into a second Columbine, to sow the seeds of jea-
lousy. The transformations wide, the harlequinade com-
menced. It was as full of the practical jokes of kicking
and cuffing as any of its predecessors we remember to
have seen, but there was a sad paucity of trick,.
We do not remember one which possessed novelty,
and was likely to prove attractive ; nor were the inci-
dents peculiar to the passing moment touched upon. But
notwithstanding this defect, there were some scenes in the
harlequinade which excited laughter, and in which the
changes were well conceived. Of this character was a
scene representing the Ruins of the Argyll' Rooms, which
were succeeded by the " Policy of Insurance," and the
immediate conversion of the ruins into splendid buildings.
Another scene of the same 'description, was Belle Vue
Cottage, which is one moment remarkable for its delight-
ful and pleasant prospects, and the next is the centre of a
densely populous neighbourhood. ADAMS'S scene of the
Quarter-deck was also well-painted. A " Nursery for Pet
Children" had some good points which excited laughter,
but the business at the conclusion of it was wholly unin-
telligible, and excited a very different sensation. The Har-
lequinade was followed by a Diorama, diTlaying "various
ruins of the stupendous and extraordinary military Pass of
the Simplon." This was altogether a splendid work, and fully
equal in merit to any scenic display which the painter, Mr.
STANFIELD has hitherto produced. The opening scene
was exceedingly beautiful, and represented the town of
Sion, in the Valais. This was followed by a powerful
picture, the Valley of the Rhone, which was succeeded by
Brieg, and an admirable contrast was thus presented to
the audience,—the grandeur of the one was rendered the
more imposing by the calm and placid beauty of the
other. A view of the Simplon followed, in which a diffi-
cult and rather dreary and confined subject for a theatre
was skilfully treated. The Sclaalbet by moonlight was
the next view, and it was extremely effective, as were
the Village of the Sitnplon, the Gallery of Algahy, and
the Grand Gallery. In the last view BONAPARTE
was seen, and a body of French troops approached
him from the celebrated excavation through a solid
rock of b 96 feet in length This was a happy thought,
and it was most liberally applauded by the audience.—
After a view of Crevola, Dom° D'Ossola, Fariolo, and
Lugo Magiore, the Diorama concluded with the Boromean
Islands, and a more warm and enchanting picture we have
rarely seen. The drawing was true, the groups were ad-
mirably disposed of and arranged, and the colouring was
full of richness and of nature. The Diorama was abruptly
followed by the concluding scene, which was described in
the bills as " the Union of the Waters." In the body of
the Pantomime there was it clever view.Of the Commetciel
Dock Carnal, but the 'Brighttim'ArelitaitY;lofiletrOtts ii '
tempted by MARINARZ, wits a failure, Of the performers
but little need now be said. Mr. Howett, was Harlequin,
and there were two Clowns, Mr. SOUTHEY, and Mr. E.
J. PARSLOE. Mr. T. BLANCHARD was Pantaloon; and
the Columbines were well sustained by Misses Ilanstrrr
and Ihrserm. The Pantomime was announced for repo'
tion amidst applause.
