THE THEATRE.

DRURY-LANE.----Mr KEAN again made his ap-
pearance last night in Macbeth. The Theatre was
not very well attended, except in the pit and gal-
leries. His performance was so actively supported
by his friends that it proceeded without interrup-
tion. The fact is, that his party are so strong and
' so violent, that they who are of a different opinion
dare not express their sentiments. The real
opinion of the Public was expressed on the first
two nights of his return to this Theatre, but even
if there were no danger in opposing him, after such
emphatic proofs of general disapprobation of his
private conduct, as to circumstances %%filch
brought that conduct into legal notice and inflic-
tion, the Actor may now be suffered to resume
his calling. If it be true that the Public have
no right to interfere in matters not relating to au
Actor's profession, a question that may well be
disputed, if conduct of gross enormity has been
generally known, yet in the present case the
Public and the Public Press have done them-
selves honour by supporting the interests of vir-
tue and decency. Farther opposition might look
like a persecution unsuitable to the British cha-
racter. Mr. KEAN then should now be permitted
to fulfil his engagement, and those whose taste
leads them to admire his acting. should he al-
lowed to hear him without disturbance. When
the Tragedy concluded -last night there was a
loud call for Mr. KEAN, probal4 for tke pur-
pose of hearing him announce Isis future per-
formance. This turbulent requisition lasted some
time, and at length brought Mr. ELLIbTON for-
ward, who, when silence prevailed, expressed
himself to the following effect :
" Ladies and Gentlemen—lt is almost impossible for any
man to have felt more deeply interested than Air. Kean has
done in the subjects that have lately occupied public discus-
sion.—(Hear, hear ! silence, silence !)—Had he only the ordi-
nary feelings of humanity, he could not but be sensible of how
much his friends have done for him. He has appeared twice
before you to express his sentiments, and those sentiments have
been adjudged—l think I may say, approved—by the public—
(Applause and uproar.)-11.1r. Kean nut wishing to obtrude
himself on the public, with all his anxieties on his head, retires
from the Theatre and proceeds to his home immediately on the
conclusion of his part—(Some murmurs, with cries of Kean,'
and go on.')—lle feels assured of your generous protection,
and I felt that the public would carry him victorious through.—
(Applause, some uproar, and cries of that's enough !')—ln
this description of his feelings I beg not to mix my own feel-
ings. - I asserted in the first instance, as I did in the second
instnce, that I considered myself to be the servant of the pub-
lic. Ido so consider myself; and while I think the public
'to be in favour of Mr. Kean, I never will desert him."—
( uproarious applause.)

It is natural and excusable in Mr. ELLIsToN,
whose interests are so much at stake, to persuade
himself that Mr. KEAN has triumphed over a
hostile Party by the support of the Public, but it
must be evident to all impartial observers that
Mr. K EAN is really indebttd to his own party
for his triumph
iloyAr,, NEwciSTLE-UPON-TyNE.—
T.ie first campaign of the new Manager (Mr. Niettot.soN)
progresses most favourably. On Friday evening last the house
w.ts another full flowing bumper, it being under the immediate
p aronage of the Sherifi'of Newcastle (GEOnCF. SIIADFORTII,
Eq.) and his Lady. The performances were Shakspeare's in-
teresting play of The Merchant of Venice, and the laughable
musical farce of The Bec Hire. The whole of the performers
did their utmost to give satisfaction, and they were not unstic-
cess:lll. Mrs. (in tt Ric r was never more happy than in Jessica,
and she warbled " Sweet Home" and another air with an ex-
pression and sweetness that justly entitled her to the rapturous
applause with which she was honoured.

BRIGHTON HARRIERS.

BRIGHTON, FEB. s.—The Subscription Pack of Harriers
have for years past been found beneficial to the interests of this
place, inasmuch as they have been the means of keeping many
sportsmen of fashionable celebrity with us, and their families,
to a much later period, than any other attractions could have
caused. The King, in consequence, whose patronage was
never withheld, where it could juoduce decided advantage to
the town, became a subscriber to this Hunt, and his Majesty's
annual contribution of fifty pounds, in support of it, was re-
mitt:d to this place a few days ago.

On Saturday se'nnight the Northumberland fox-hounds had
one of the most brilliant rails ever remembered in that country
They found at flare Dean immediately on throwing into cover.
A most gallant fox broke away to the south, up the hill towards
Stanton, past the Lime-kilns to Ashfield's Wood ; from thence
he turned northwards over Longhorsley Moor, leaving Rufflaw
Plantations to the left. He kept that line pointing towards
Garret Lee Wood and Todburn, till he reached Southerd
Edge. Here he turned westward over the Reoburn Moor and
Dudner's Know, and skirting the New Park Wood at Nether-
witton, ran through Park Wal Whin Cover to Dixon's Wood,
through which, and Gallowshaw Wood, he passed to the south
across the Pont, thence leaving Longshaws Mill to the left, he
ran thr nigh Longshaws Wood, past Buekshaw, and across the
top of the Nunburn, where he took a direction to the right,
past Needless hall and Temple Thornton, thence through
i\leldon Pork and across the Wansheck southwards over Anger-
ton Pastures, by Howlett Hall, Gallowhill, and Footman Law,
through the fir plantation at Belsay Lake to Bitchfield boun.
dary. Here he turned to the west, trying to gain the main
earths at Belsay Crags, when the hounds ran in to him and
killed him in the open field within 100 yards of the cover, after
a run of two hours and five minutes. Out of 21 couples of
hounds, not one was wanting.

SACRA LEG E.-Information was this morning re-
ceived at the Marylebone Police Office, of the
Chapel in Shouldham-street having been last
night plundered of every portable article of value,
by some persons who contrived to secrete them
selves in the Chapel at the close of the preceding
evening's service. It appears that after removing
every valuable article from the body of the
Chapel, they broke into the vestry, aird stole
the servico of plate employed in the administra-
qpauraiLtistey,
ando
wine,
r
t
ti olf t
whicht washe sacrament
keptfar;
the
ea
same
of which they drank before quitting the place.—
With these, and many other articles of value,
they finally made their escape by unscrewing the
door fastenings, and thus letting themselves out.
Hoßse-STEAr.zsG.—This crime appears to be
still on the increase,—information having been
this morning received at the above Office of two
valuable brood mares having been last night stolen
from the stables of Wm. Burgess, Esq., at Aper-
tou, near Harrow.

Swine:head, January, 1825.
Respected Parishioners,
I know not how sufficiently to express my feelings of grati-
tude fbr the munificent token of respect which I have this day
received at your hands. The kind and indulgent spirit with
which you have viewed my feeble and imperfect services amon,,
you, as your Minister, for the last thirteen years, certainly
claims my warmest and heartfelt acknowledgment; at the same
dine I feel humbled at the remembrance of the many imper-
fections and deficiencies which have attached themselves to my
poor exertions to promote your best interests. Your kindness
and liberality, however, on the present occasion, are certainly
calculated to call forth an increase of affectionate interest on
your behalf, and to stimulate me to renewed endeavours to
seek the advancement of your present and everlasting welfare.
—With best wishes for your temporal comforts, and your
eternal happiness, allow me to subscribe myself as your faith-
ful and affectionate Minister,

(signed)

WILLIAM BOLLAND.
