THE THEATRES.

DRUIIY•LANE.—Mr. KEAN who is justly ad-
mired for the feeling which he displays in the
character of Othello, represented it last night be-
fore a numerous audience with his usual success.
Mr•. YOUNG from Liverpool who made his first
appearance on Friday last at this Theatre in the
part of Ingo resumed it last night, and being
more in self-possession appeared to greater advan-
tage. His figure and person altogether qualify
him for the character, which he appeared to con-
ceive justly, and rendered prominent in effect.—
Mrs. W. WEST excited applause and sympathy
in the part of Desdemona.

COVENT-GARDEN.--The powerful impression
which Miss KELLY has made upon the public in
the character of Juliet, was evident last night in
a crowded auditory. Applause, if it has not ani-
mated her to increased exertion, has kept her to
that point of excellence which did 'not appear to
require or to admit of any addition, and she re-
ceived throughout every testimony of general
admiration. She had a suitable supporter in the
Romeo of Mr. C. KEMBLE, and the unfortunate
lovers excited every appropriate feeling in the
minds of the audience. The Tragedy is brought
forward in a style of splendour not unworthy of
so fine a production of our great dramatic Poet.

It is rumoured in the theatrical circles that
Mr. KEAN has declined to play characters alter-

'lately with Mr. YOUNG, a measure to which, it
is said, the latter had readily assented.—Othello,
according to report, was the play first mentioned,
Mr. YOUNG having agreed to perform logo to
Mr. KEAN'S Othello, if Mr. KEAN would allow
Mr. YOUNG to be Othello in turn. We do not
vouch for the truth of this statement, but it is

certainly rife among the theatrical Quiduuncs

and Gossips.
THE VETERAN WEWITZER.—A. paragraph
lately appeared in this and other papers, import-
ing that Mrs. COUTTS, whose liberal disposition
is well known, had settled an annuity on Mr.
WEWITZER. The report gained credit on ac-
count of the benevolent character of the Lady,
and because he was some years ago particularly
favoured with her kind protection. We are,
however, desired to say that the Veteran Son of
THESPIS, though now far advanced " into the vale
of years " and loaded with the infirmities of
age, has no support but what he derives from
The TnEATRICAL FUND and the kindness of Mr.

ELLIsToN. Mr. WEWITZER, it seems, under a
grateful sense of the former kindness of Mrs.

GOUTTS, is too diffident to make his present si-
tuation known to that Lady, otherwise it can
hardly be doubted that she would herself feel a
gratification in administering to the comforts of
a former favourite of the Public, who seems to be
almost worn down by age and debility.

Duc D'ENGHIEN.—The monument to the me-
mory of this unfortunate Prince will, ere long.
be completed. The cenotaph is surrounded
by four figures of white marble. One of these
represents the Prince, who is proceeding tran-
quilly to his execution ; the second is Fortitude,
who supports him in his trying moment; the third
Malice, who is lurking for him ; and the fourth
France, in fetters. These statues are about seven
feet six inches high, and the entire height of the
mausoleum is 22, feet. The sculptor is M.
DESEIM, first sculptor to the Bourbon Conde
family, and Member of the Academies of Hour=
deaux and Copenhagen.
ANOTHER MYSTERY.—It is whispered at the
west end of the town, that a package, containing a `,‘ pledge of
love," was lately received in London, by a person Whose
name is familiar to the public, from an eccentric but distin-
guished genius, who for some time has not resided on this
side of the Alps. It is reported that a letter had previously
reached the Agent alluded to, informing him such a package
would arrive, and directing bins to take proper steps for having
it, as soon after being landed as possible, deposited some feet
' below the surface of the earth, at the root of a particular tree on
Harrow-hill, which was specifically pointed out for that pur-
pose. Application, it is said, was accordingly made to a
public, but religious character, for permission to comply with
this request, which having been granted after a short hesitation,
the package, on its arrival, was buried on the appointed spot.
It is further hinted, in a still more obscure manner, that the
package probably contained something which was once dear to
an English Lady now abroad—perchance not unconnected by
tender ties to-the eccentric but distinguished genius who resides
on the other side of the Alps.—( Morning Herald.)
It is a curious and interesting fact, that the
venerable and aged Curate of Prestbury, near
Macclesfield, the Rev. Tiros. MONICHOUSE, lately
baptized a child whose mother he had christened,
and likewise the mother's father. The same
Clergyman also married the child's great grand-
fither.—(illanchcster Mercury.)
ACCIDENT.—On Monday last, Henry Wil-
liams, Esq., of the firm of Williams and Goddard, of Gray's-
inn, laying left town to attend a meeting of Magistrates at
Chalfont, in Bucks, proceeded from thence to his country house,
near Bcrkhampstead; and when upon the top of a very •
steep hill, midway between that place and Chesham, about
ten at night, it being extremely dark and the rain falling
in torrents, his horse took fright at some object in the hedge, and
galloped at a furious rate down the hill, until at a turn in
the road at the bottom, where some alterations are making, he
stumbled over a bank into a slough, and rolled over Mr. Wil-
liams, who became senseless from the violence of the shock, and
upon coming to his recollection, lie found himself immersed
in mud and water, covered with bruises, his horse still lying
by his side. With great difficulty he got upon his feet, and after
several ineffectual attempts to get his horse up, it made a sudden
spring, and in rising, extricated itself from the bridle, and trotted
away. Mr. Williams knowing, from the loneliness of the road,
there was no hope of assistance, and that he must remain exposed
to the inclemency of the weather during the whole night, unless he
could reach Berkhampstead, a distance of nearly two miles from
the spot, he made the attempt ; and in about two hours suc-
ceeded
in walking. or rather crawling, to his home, where his
horse had arrived before him, but in so crippled a state, that it
is supposed it must be shot.
A box, containing cash and jewels, belonging
to a lady, and supposed to have been stolen from
her carriage on her journey from London to this
town, turns out-to have been purloined by her
own female servant who travelled with her. From
some suspicious circumstances in the woman's con-
duct, noticed by the footman (who-also travelled
with the carriage), since her arrival at home, he
communicated the same to her mistress ; in conse-
quence a constable was, sent for, who searched
the apartment in which the woman slept, and in
a trunk belonging to her was found all the cash
and jewels, and the other articles supposed to
have been lost, with the exception of a trifle of
money, which the delinquent said she had spent
in London. She confessed to the robbery, and
that she had destroyed the box previous to leav-
ing London. She
is now in custody.—(Hull
Packet.)
