WEY MOUTH, Nov. 4.

Our Winter Theatre continues to receive-the suk
port due to the Manager's exertions. in getting, up
his pieces in a most excellent state. The. Comedy off,
the 'Wonder and St: David's Day, were performed
here last Saturday, by- the desire of Mrs. G uteNr.o?''
The house was well attended, and the perfortne.ei
gained additional credit. Independent of the patron
age Mr. LEE hai experienced here, the Company
play also-three times a week at Dorchester, under
the sanEtion of the Earl of DORCHESTER, Lady AN
DOVER, COL 'FRAMPTON, and the Mayor and Corpo-!
ration. ccowded houses have 'amply stamped the
respetiability of Mr. trie'and his'periormers. •
Violent gales 'df'Wittddlave prevailed the last
'reek on this coast. Several houses have been da=
snaged by the hurricane, and the chimney of Mr.
MARneit's dwelling-house was blown down, .and
the root much deniolished.; .Happily no ',hies
Were lost.

• The Ball at thelloyal Hotel on Wednesday Eve4=ol,
fag, was,. as usual, , fashionably attended, an4],oBpl

on the discipline 'and goldier-like appearance of this

SHIELD, by his music for the new Opera of Two
Faces under a..liood, has not only pleased the public
ift general, but has had the-good fortune to satisfy
most of his brothel—composers, who, have liberally-
testified their admiration.,of the.work in congratula,
tory letters to the Author, on his having on this oc-
casion fully supported_his high professional repute,
' If It be true that Mr. .TAYLOR has reduced,the
enormous debts of the Opera Home to 5t3;00,01.1d
from near42oo,oool. it seems very strange that tiitlie
should' have been any idea Of removing him Ow'
the management. Sir SAMUEL ROM tt‘Ly stated: /his •
reduaion as a positiVe fa6.l; and hence it rnustrbe
Admitted, that non-attendance is a very: different
thing from ,104-attention'. •
The widow of old NIACKLIN, the A6tor, who died
on Saturday, was his second wife, and Originally his
. servant. She was a good soit of woman, and el;
feduallY proved so 'by her management of,her hut;
-band's untoward and almost ungovernable temper.
His first wife was an excellent Adress.' He had a
son by her, who was intended for the Bar, and who
• Possessed talents, but with all the odd humour of
his father. He died long before his father's ekit
from the stage. of life. '

Saturday last, with The Why.

tovent-Garden Theatre, performed Tangent in the.
Play, and Mrs. W. • PeNSON,, formerly Miss Sites, of
i . the same theatre, was the Lillie Pickle. These
