PLOT.

" Old Eusface, • a severe father, leaves his son under the
strict controul of Ignatius Polyglot, his tutor, who is entirely
devoted to learning, and a perfect stranger to the passions.
The son enters into a secret marriage, and after haring con-
cealed it for four years, is anxious to relieve his beloved wife
and child froth the ambiguity of their situation in the adjoining
village. Ile brings thaw secretly to the house for that purpose,
and having prevailed on his tutor to endeavour to make peace,
the Lady is left in his charge to avoid a precipate discovery.
Hence arise a thousand perplexities, which beset the good-
natured Dominic in every direction. The Lady is found in hie
room, he is accused of keeping a mistress, and lastly, the child
is found upon him, or rather under his cloak. Of course the
laugh ends with the eclaircissement of the mystery, and the
pardon of the young couple."
This piece is whimsical and entertaining in
itself, and it derives all requisite support from the
Performers in general, particularly COOPER, W.
FAangsr, BIANCHARD, and Miss Rotas. Miss'
A. JONES, a sister of the latter, who made a re-
spectable !,
appearance at the Haymarket Theatre,
affords another proof of the judgment of the
Covent-garden management in adding her to their
theatrical corps. Her person is very pleasing, and
she performed with so much feeling and pro-
priety, as procured a very favourable reception.
The Farce was very well received, and the only
opponent was.a young man in the front boxes,
who roared " off, off," with a voice and manner
that rather indicated predetermined malevolence
than wanton.inebriety. His opposition, however,
sunk in contempt for him, and applause for the
Farce.

G LMER LATATETTE.---It would appear by
the following statement in a New York Paper of
the 27th ult. that the General ran some risk of
being drowned on his voyage home :—" We re-
gret to learn," says the Democratic Press, 44 that
the United States frigate Brandywine had been
but a few days at sea when she was di•covered
to have eight feet of water in her hold.—
Thirty thousand weight of ammunition and a
quantity of ballast were thrown overboard. All
hands were called to the pumps, and she .was
cleared of the water, which was found to pour
in through the sides where the oakum had wash.
ed out. So unseaworthy was the vessel found,
that a consultation was held, whether it was or
was not prudent to proceed on the voyage. When
last spoke she was within a few days sail of Havre ;
she will there undergo a thorough repair. Se-
veral of the hands had died. General Lafayette
enjoyed good health : he expected that all his fa-
mily would be assembled at Havre to welcome
him to his native shore. More than once on his

passage the General has indulged in the expres-
sion of a hope that. he has not left the United
States for ever."

We understand that the typhus fever is very
general at present in this town and neighbour-
hood. We have heard of several fatal cases
within the week. One of great distress has oc-
curred. A person of the name of ltohinson,a table-
knife cutler, who resided in Broad-lane, was at-
tacked with typhus fever, which was communi-
cated from his wife. The poor woman died on
Sunday week, and her husband on the following
day. They were in one beck hen she died ;.he was
removed to a bed on the floor, where he witnessed
his partner placed in a coffin on Monday morning.
He was afterwards put into the bed from which
he had just been removed. and he expired in it on
the same evening. The attention of the mo-
ther to a beloved son, who survives the effects of
this same fever, was the fatal cause of her illness.
Nine children are now left in the most distressed
situation; and we think the case worthy the aid
of the humane.—(Sheifield Iris.)

MURDER AND CONFESSION.—Dominic Haberer
was tried at Strasburg on November 10, for
murdering his wife on the 4th and sth August.
He went to the Mayor's on the following
morning, and declared that his wife had died a
a natural death ; then he fled, and returned the
next day, and confessed his crime. He avowed
his crime before the Court, but said it was the
Impulse of the moment, when irritated by his
wife's infidelities and reproaches. lie was found
guilty of murder without premeditation, and sen-
tenced to the galleys for life, to stand in the
pillory for an hour, and to he branded on the
right shoulder with the letters T. P.
