Tin Dramatic Romance of The Tempest, not as
originally written by SHAKES? EAlti?; but as altered
Eby DRybErl, was revived at this :Theatre last
; but the combined powers of-SiOicEspEAß.E'
and DRYDEN were able to draw- but a. scanty Au-
dience., This alteration, however,,-is 'by' no means
'an improvement of the Play, which, some . years
ago,, was frequently- performed ih its original state,
and generally with success. T,he performance of
lag did not, had -forth theatrical attradion
strong enough to the Public, though the: Piece, on
the whole, was tOlerably well represented. •

for the"charader Prospe;v. In dellfult ofKEs:B LE,

Miss DE CAM'', in HiFpodito, instead -of repre-
senting the ingenuous simplicity of Nature, maul-
' felted a kind of childish affedation. Mrs. So NT.
L E 'S -Mira Mid, was also defe&ive in. that ex_
pression of artless simplicity which might 'be.
peded to charaderize the habits of One brought
up in a state of' total seclusion from the World.

The Comic parts of Stephan° and Trinculc were
given in a very diverting manner by BANtirsrEa,
jun. and SUETT ; and 'Miss MELLor4 displayed a
humorou4 naivete'. in Dorinda. Mrs. BLAND made
rather too bulky an appearance for the Micah,.

In Bath market on Saturday last, there was not
such an abundant.supply of meat as on the Saturday
preceding, in consequence of the Butchers expecting,
a:decline of prices. In the early part of the day,
however, prime joints of beef and mutton sold as
high as 7d. and 7-id. per lb. ; but in the aftern'Oon
the prices 'declined, and in the evening large quan-
tities of:good wholesome meat were sold as low. as
4(1.. per lb. and,some even under that price. Fresh
bUtter at is. and salt ditto at rod. per lb. Potatoes
from 4s. 6d. to ss. per sack : they are expe&ed tb
be lower.'

Several vessels have been cver to Cherbourg froM
Poole,, to fetch live-sto.k..- Those that went in
them say every t!,1,-g is in great abundance, and
cheap, in. France ; but they were not s.u.'rered to take
'any thing out of the country, 'although one person
had agreed for forty sheep, at 7s. 6d. each, and two
three.year old heifers, with calf, for 255. each.
Fowls 'were tit rod. a couple, and good bread at
'ld. a pound !—The charges on these little: vessels,
althotigh they were not permitted to trade, were
extravagant ; those that went into the Pier paid
between four and five pounds each.
The observations of the magistrates of Bow.
street, -on the Case of the _Vook-keeper of an Inn;
who went. disguised as one of the Porters, are, but
too well .founded. Perhaps there is 'not a less
civilized set of beings in the whole community
than the Book-keepers of Inns. Indeed, the Tribe
of Porters, though by no means the most polished
order: of society, . would be likely to stiffer very
much in' reputation. if the Book.kee.pers in:general
were to indldge themselyes in the frolic of 'raising
for Porters.

In .the Exports from Leith last week, we. find'
nothing sent to,Harnburgh but empty bottles. The.
Hans Towns do, indeed, receive the news of the
Peace in sober sadness.

Governor WAL L .was :yesterday examined before
the Privy COuncil, and committed-to Newgate to
take his trial by due course Of
A singular discovery has lately been made. in
Spain. In digging the foundation 'tor a.bridge, the
workmen met with six small eggs, which,. upon
examination, bore a near resemblance to those 'of
patridges : their colour is a yellowish white : they
effervesce with, nitric acid. One of them being
divided with the saw, the yolk was found-flattened,
and reduced
.to a line in thickness,' and the whole
of the rest of. the .csvity was filled with beautiful
crystals of prismatic calcareous spar. • • •

- -During the- proceSsion to the House of Lords on
Thursday,' two servants behind the carriage of the
Bishop of Lirc ELI) 'had a narrow ,escape with,
their-lives. The horses going, at great speed, the.
holders suddenly broke opposite the Horse Guards._;
one footman Was,thrown clear ()yet- the wheel,
.and.
_much bruised ; the Other fell in between the wheel,
and the spring, .and in that state was 'dragged up_
wards ,of _too yards, and 'relieved, without any

in the vicinity
_of NeWgate-street, was discovered
on. SaturdAy morning .suspended by a ripe; which
she had tied. to the bedpost. Sulgical assistance

Yesterday - morning were executed before the
Debtors' door at Newtate, pursuant to their sen-
tence-, yaiiksLeigb, for the murder of WM. Lamb;
and Richard Stark, for the murder of his wife.

Leigh's manner was as unconcerned_ during his
confinement in the condemned cell as, on his trial.
Throughout .the whole of his confinement he be..
trayed no fear of death, was always' colleaed
and When he was about to ascend the scaffold, he.
' took Mr. Kirby by the hand, and said; "I mind this
no more than I would entering the field of ;talon,"
He afterwards shook hands with all around him, and
turning 'to his companion Stark, who was weeping.
bitterly; Be a man, and die .with spirit."
lle made.o--2 of many Ater exhortations, and so far
succeeded as to make Stark hold up his :lead. ,
fore they:were turned off,' Leigh looked around,
bowed to;the populace,. smiled, and appeared quite
unconcerned. After hanging the • usual time fan

room. •

'Leigh was in the 25th Regiment of Foot .about
sixteen yearS; was born in ShrOpshire, aged .74.
His appearance was prepossessing' an open counte-
nance,- about six feet one inch high. Stark had
been porter to Mr. Rose, a cheeseinonger, in. the
Strand, about five-years, bore an honest cbaraaer,
and had been married eight years.
