THE THEATRES.

KING'S THEATRE.—There was the usual over-
flow of fashion and splendour at this place on
Saturday. II Barone di Dolsheim was the Opera,
and Cendrillon was the concluding Ballet. Ma-
dame R. VESTRIS made her first appearance. She
is an elegant dancer, if not of the first order.—
Mr. C. VESTRIS returned, after an absence of
three years. lie was well received. The pas
de deux between him and Madame VESTRIS was
deservedly applauded.—The Duke and Duchess
of GLOUCESTER, with a long line of English and
foreign Noblesse, gave brilliancy to the whole.
DRURY LANE.—The Castle Spectre was re-
vived at this Theatre on Saturday last, for the
benefit of Mr. RussELL. Mr. KEAN, much to
his honour, studied the part of Osmond for the
occasion, and performed it with powerful effect.
Miss KELLY, with the same meritorious feelings,
came forward in the part of Angela, and the
merit which they both displayed is calculated to
revive the popularity of this terrific drama.—
The farce of The Mayor of Garratt followed,
and Mr. RUSSELL, who has been justly admired
in Jerry Sneak, performed the part with his
usual ability. HARLEY'S Mayor Sturgeon was
given with genuine humour. Mr. RUSSELL,
in the course of the evening, came forward
to address the audience on taking leave of
the public at this theatre, but as he deservedly
holds a respectable rank on the stage and in
private life, we are glad to hear that he is
likely to be re-engaged.—He was received by
the audience with most gratifying marks of uni-
versal approbation.

ADELPHI THEATRE.--This very prosperous
Theatre closed for the winter season on Saturday.
Mr. WRENCH came forward and addressed the
audience with an appropriate speech on the oc-
casion, which was very well received. The house
was 'most numerously attended, and Torn and
Jerry went off with its usual extraordinary success.
OLYMPIC TIIEATRE.—This Theatre also closed
for the season on Saturday. Our Readers will
recollect that it closed suddenly under the for-
mer management, for want of pecuniary resources
to keep the company together.—lt was then re-
opened by Mr. COYENEY, and was conducted
with so much judgment and liberality that he was
attended with well merited success. Mr. POWER,
one of the Performers, addressed the audience
with a brief statement of the case, which was
well received, and as the Theatre is to be opened
again under the same management, it will pro-
bably be attended with similar success,

ROYAL NAVY, &c.

The Lords of the Admiralty have directed spots of ground
to be chosen and purchased, cn which to erect telegraph stations
or houses, between Portsmouth and Plymouth, for the purpose
of conveying on messages from the Admiralty Office to the
latter port. There are to be twelve established stations between
Portsmouth and the Admiralty. Lieut. Harris is appointed to
that on Cla!gate-hill (Surrey), and Lieut. Spencer Smyth to
the new station at the New Sallvport, Portsmouth.
Capt. Godfrey, of the Arachne, has taken the command of
the '1 in the room of Capt. J. K. White, invalided, and
,coming home from Jamaica in the Tribune, which latter ship
has been very sickly.
A letter from an Officer at Lisbon states, that the Leven,
24, Capt. W. F. Owen, and the Baracouta, 10, Capt. Cutfield,
arrived there on the 23rd of February, having had a passage of
ten days from Spithead ; and were to sail again on the sth of
March for Madeira, Teneriffe, Rio de Janeiro, and the Cape
of Good Hope, to the eastward of which place they would com-
mence their pursuit of survey and discovery of the African
shores and islands.

On Thursday morning the Andromache frigate, Commodore
Nourse, C.B. sailed from Portsmouth for the Cape of Good
Hope c,oindiand, but the wind returning foul, she was obliged
to anchor at St. Helen's in the evening, where she now remains.
The final dispatches for the East Indies, to go out by the
Liffey frigate, Commodore Charles Grant, C.B. were receivcd
at Portsmouth on Saturday. That ship will bepaid wages this
day, and sail as soon after as the wind may be fair. 'She takes
dispatches, it is presumed, announcing the Right Hon. George
Canning as being the chosen future Governor-General of Ben-
gal, and successor of the Marquis of Hastings.
On Wednesday the Bann, Capt. Charles Phillips, sailed
from Portsmouth for the coast of Africa. .'

The Phaeton, 'Capt. W. A. Montagu, C.B. sailed on Satur-
day from Portsinduth for Chatham, with a number of men be-
longing to the Owen Glendower, who are to navigate the Bul-
wark, 74, to Plymouth.
Ships at Spithead—Liffey and Shamrock—in Harbour,
fitting—Active and Owen Glendower frigates ; Ranger, for
N'ewf'oundland; Hind, for the Mediterranean ; Fly.and Arab,
for the Irish station ; Driver, for the coast of Africa ; and
Grasshopper, for Chnnel service.
At Portsmouth—The Defence and Alfred transports, Lieut.
Andrew, Agent, are tinder orders to proceed to Dunleary, t 9
convey the 44th Regimqnt from thence to Sheerness ; after
which they are to return to Dunleary with the 71st Regiment.
PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 30.—Lieut. Spencer Smyth is ap-
pointed to the newly erected Semaphore Signal Station at this
port. Lieut. Edward Harris is appointed tobthe'Semaphore, at
Chatley Hill. We understand that the line of semapboric com-
munication is to be extended to Plymouth.
Mr. John Purver is appointed Purser of the Ordinary at this
port.
London, England, 1822-04-01

LANE v. THE SAME.

This was a similar action against the same hundred; to re-
cover a compensation for a like injury sustained by the plaintiff
on the same night, from the same cause, and under the like cir-
cumstances. The sum sought to be recovered was 581., and
after proof of the damage and the occasion of it, the plaintiff
had a verdict.

GREENWICH FAIR.--T he votaries of frolic on
Easter Monday have been somewhat alarmed by a report
which has obtained circulation, that the fair at Greenwich is to
be altogether abolished. This report had its rise in the fact of
the old ground on which the fair was formerly held having
been taken by the Governors of Greenwich Hospital, and added
to the ground hitherto attached to their school. It appears,
however, that there is still to he a fair ; and permission has
been given by the Mqgiltrates to erect booths, and the usual
sources of holiday amusement, in Bridge-street, leading from
Deptford-bridge into Citurch-street. The Park will also still
remain open to thosa who may be inclined to indulge in the
frolicsome gaieties of which holiday hill has from ancient times
been the scene.

CROWN SIDE.

Thos. Birch, alias Birt, was indicted for feloniously stabbing
Hannah Roberts, at Farnham, on the 9th of September last,
with intent to murder her, or do her some bodily harm.
The prisoner said, in his defence, that he did not know what
he was about, and expressed great contrition, for what had
happened.
'The Jury, under the'Learned Judge's directions, found the
prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy, which recom-
mendation was seconded by the.prosecutrix.
Thirteen,capital convicts received Sentence of Death to-day.
The further business of the Assizes was adjourned over until
Saturday morning.

' DREADFUL SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning Mr.
Nix, boot and shoe-maker, residing at the corner of White
Hart-yard, Drury-lane, in a fit of temporary delirium, produced
by rheumatic fever on the brain, put a period to his existence
.by cutting his throat with a razor, which at one stroke nearly
severed his head from his body. The jugular and windpipe
were divided, and surgical assistance was of no avail. His wife
was in bed with him at the time he perpetrated the lamentable
act, and was awoke by the blood gushing over her, which so
terrified her that she is in a very alarming situation. An in-
quest will be held on the body this day.

A CURE FOR MODERN WHIGGISAL—RepeaI the Clauses
in the General Elet;tiOn Statutes, which tolerate OCCASION-
ALM' in Close Boroughs, but which prohibit it in Counties
and all other places. Do this, and there will be less danger in
admitting Papists into power, and nothing then to apprehend
from the Oligarchists of the Country.

OPERATIONS OF THE COLOMBIANS.

The latest accounts from the head-quarters of
General Bolivar were dated on the 18th of Oc-
tober, from Rozario tie Cucuta.--The most active

preparations were then carrying on for the siege
of Quito. General Bolivar's exertions were un-
remitting, and he had appointed General Eben,
who is a Brigadier-Genera!, to superintend the
organisation of the corps ordered for active ser-
vice. The latter is well known, both in England
and Portugal, as an officer of very distinguished

eld-talents. At one time in the Peninsular war,

he had the command of 30,000 Portuguese troops,
famed for their high state of discipline, and in Eng-
land he acquired great credit while an Officer
in the 10th Hussars, for making that corps a model
for all the cavalry regiments in the service.—
The selection of such an officer for so important
a duty as the organization of the field arrange-
ments of Bolivar, himself a man of great military
skill and experience, cannot fail to be highly gra-
tifying to the British Officers with whom Gen.
Eben (who is the son of Frederick the Great's Eben
who commanded the celebrated Death-head

Hussars) so long served both at home and abroad.
The General was received by Bolivar with
distinguished marks of respect and confidence;
and, as a proof of the high sense he enter.
tained of his military co-operation at so
important a moment, he presented him with his
own favourite military charger and appointments.
No better example can be given of the excel-
lent cordiality which prevails at Bolivar's head-
quarters than the fact that Gen. St. Andes, and

the other Stair Officers of the Patriotic Army,
vied with each other in paying marks of atten-

tion to General Eben, thereby admitting the
propriety of his election by their own General
for so active a service.

Letters from Malta of the l6th of March an-
nounce that the Greeks have recently obtained

RUSSIA AND TURKEY:
ED/TOLt—ln a series of letters. Aloft I

addressed to yoti, t6(sllte months since, *ion the subject of thus
Holy Alliance, I advanced the Opinion that a rupture between,.
Russia and Turkey was inevitable. This opinion, the correct.,

ness of which seems ntht, about to be fully verified, was folinded

upetti" the anibitioits views of the Court of St. Petersbtirghl

views which have been manifested whenever any opportunity of
so doing has occurred. Not satisfied with its preponderance as
a military power, which its vast and hardy population must
fully establish, Russia has ever aimed at an increase of its mari-
time importance. To create a Navy was one of the first, and

of the principal objects, of Peter the Great. It was to accom-
plish this important purpose that be endeavoured to become
master of the shores of the sea, of Azor, and that he determined
to wrest the provinces of Ingria, Carelia and Livonia, from
his rival Charles XII. It was in furtherance of the same
design that Catherine 11. took possession of the Crimea, and
extended her domination along the Black Sea, from the
mouth of the Don to that of. the Pruth : and it was the same
system of policy that induced Alexander to strip the infatuated
Gustavus IV. of the valuable province of Finland. To this
..important accession on the shores of the Baltic, the arrange•
"went concluded at the Congress of Vienna and the Treaty of
Paris, have since added a portion of the Northern Court of Po-
land. Many centuries nzay, indeed, elapse, ere the Russian
navy can assume an aspect sufficiently formidable to alarm
this country. But he is a shallow politician indeed, who, cir-
k cumscribing his glance to the present, does not seek to antici-
pate future and possible events. Of all political errors, the
most fatal is that of despising a rival, because he is not now
able to injure; and nothing. can possibly be of more impor-
tance than to crush sich a disposition in the bud ; or, rather to
prevent, by, timely interference, the possibility of such an oc-.

Our market continues in a stagnant state, as far as regards
the sale of 'Wheat, having scarcely a buyer, except for prime
samples, and those went off heavily this morning at Monday's
quotation ; but there is not the lea.* demand for the inferior
qualitie4, and prices for such are completely nominal.—The ex-
cessive heat of the weather being considered injurious to the
crops of Spring Corn, Barley, Peas, and Beans were more
inquired after to-day, and those articles fully maintain
Monday's prices, the supply of each of those articles ,being
small, but the Oat trade was dull, having large arrivals, ana
the consumers being well stocked for,the present.

BOROUGH, JUNE 3.—The accounts, from the plantation
state the -binds are growing rapidly, but in general there is
much vermin, which have increased last week. Good Hops
have sold from 4s. to ss. advance. The duty estimated at 90
to 95,0001.

I%IAIDSTONE, JUNE 3.—Our strong bine has grown very
fast during the last week, and the weak has improved ; the
daily reinforcements of fly have been excessive in the ex-
treme ; in some situations the leaves have been literally co-
vered, and the spread over the plantations generally hairbeen
large ; their pernicious effects will not be discovered by the in-
attentive observer till we have rain or thick damp weather, then
the situation of the plantations will be clearly seen.

LITERARY NOTICE.

TALES of the DRAMA.—By Miss MACAULEY.
The Public have already witnessed, though,
we are sorry to say, not so often as they ought,
the histrionic powers of the fair Authoress who
now comes before them with a new claim to
their attention. In the work, here under re-
view, she has boldly and fairly stepped forward
into the literary arena ; and, not confining her-
self to one species of style or composition, but
varying her subjects from grave to gay, from the
classic pomp of the buskin to the lighter trip of
the sock, she displays a versatility of power,
not often found in the same individual, and at
the same time under a contrast so striking, that
one almost hesitates to believe the various tales
to be the product of the same pen.
The selection seems very judicious, not only
for variety, but for general effect ; the tragic
tales being from SHAKSPEAR E, MASSINGER, SHIR-
LEY, ROWE, MURPHY, Lamm, and MoottE;
and the comic from STEELE, F ARQUHAR, CUM-
BERLAND, BICKERSTAFF, GOLDSMITH, and Mr 3.

COWLEY.
The limits of a Newspaper will not permit us
to offer a fair specimen of the work ; for its
merit does not so much depend upon particular
striking passages, though such are very numerous
throughout, as upon the ingenuity with which
the acted Drama is turned into a tale possessing
all the intricacy of dramatic plot, all the sur-
prize of scenic effect, all the interest of minute
detail, and all the rapidity of denouement which
delight upon the stage, even whilst the strict-
ness of narrative is completely retained.
If we were to point out specific instances,
where this spirit is most strongly marked,
" Richard the c2d" and the " Inconstant," must
claim the first rank ; yet it is almost invidious
to make selection, so well adapted is every tale,
both in conduct and in style, to the subject which
it treats of.

It is unnecessary to say, after these observa-
tions, that the style' is good, varied, and appro-
priate ; but we must add, that no opportunity is
neglected where a moral can be elicited, a virtue
inculcated, or the general subject illustrated. To
execute this purpose, short quotations and extracts
are made from the plays under consideration,
where such presented themselves : and in nume-
rous instances poetical_illustrations are introduc-
ed from the Author's muse, manifesting a spirit
of moral and liberal piety, honourable to herself,
and which, we trust, will not be lost upon the
rising generation, for whose improvement the
tales were originally commenced, but now com-
pleted in a style that fits them alike for the par-
lour window or the library.
The paper and letter-press are excellent, and
the embellishments numerous; and worked off
in a very superior style ; but still we must re-
commend that a second edition should be in
larger type, and on larger paper. We also
suggest the propriety of prefixing the names of
the several Authors of the Plays of which she
has given such amusing and interesting illustra-
tions.
