ROYAL WEST LONDON THEATRE.—AS this
Theatre has been so much improved in embel-
lishment and convenience, and as Marybone is
now a little world in itself, it is not surprising that
it should here give encouragement to dramatic
entertainments, particularly as Mr. BRuNTON is
a good actor, his daughter a firQ rate comic
actress, and his performers altogether possessed
of respecable abilities. In our previous notice
of this Theatre we ought to have mentioned
Madame BAUR, a native of this country, and a
pupil of Mr. NATHAN. She is a scientific singer,
and possesses a good voice, as well as a correct
taste. She gave a song of RossiNt last night,
and joined in a duet with Mr. Dorms, who is
a good singer. They both acquitted them-
selves very well, and were much applauded.—
The three dramatic pieces were what we noticed
before, viz. .7'he Widow bewitched, What we
must all come to, and Paul and Justin. As the
town is populous enough to patronize all the
summer Theatres we may rejoice that " Mary-
bone and Hockeley in the Hole," are no longer
seminaries for highwaymen and pickpockets, as
at the origin of The Beggar's Opera.
If a negociation now in progress, terminates
as expected, our new Theatre will open in the
first week of October, with an Italian Company,
of which Madame CATALANI will be the Puma
Donna. Miss STENIENS and Mr. BRAIIAH are
engaged to perform during the ensuing season.--
(Dublin Paper.)
We understand Miss CHESTER, late of our
Theatre, is engaged at Covent-Garden, for die
ensuing season. Mr. RAyNER, of this circuit, is
also in treaty with the Managers of Covent-
Garden Theatre, for the late Mr. EMERY's cast
of characters.—(Doncaster Gazette.)
We are glad to hear that Captain OWEN, of
the Bellerophon hulk, who was stabbed by the convict, Hartley,
is in a fair way of recovery, every symptom of mortification
having disappeared.—( Kentish Gazette.)
A woman at Patching, near Arundel, on Saturday, was
poisoned by taking oxalic acid, instead of salts.
Some researches, by excavation, are now making
on the site of Richboro' Castle, one of the Rutupian Ports,
which are expected to throw much light on the era of that an-
cient structure.

Monday last the Wiltshire pedestrian undertook, for a
wager of 501., to perform WO miles in twenty successive hours,
which he performed on a piece of ground in the garden of a
public-house, in Winchester, in 25 minutes less than the given
time.

In France the names of persons about to enter
the tnarriaze state, are placed on the door of the
Hotel de Ville, or Town-house, guarded by a
neat brass fence, to prevent injury from mis-
chievous persons ; and if the same precaution
were to be adopted in England, and a penalty
of 5/. for any one caught in the act of defacing
the names on, the church doors, it would have
the effect of preventing one of the provisions of
the New Marriage Act being defeated.
FIRE.—A fire broke out at four o'clock yes-
terday morning in the back part of the house of
Mr. GOODWIN, 14, Norton Falgate, fancy
biscuit baker. On its first being discovered, an
alarm was given to the inmates, but the fire was
raging with such fury that it prevented them from
coming down stairs; they, however, made their
escape along the parapet in a state of nudity.—
By this time several engines had arrived, and a
plentiful supply of water being ready, the flames
were extinguished, after doing much damage
backwards, and destroying part of the front of
the house.
