MILTON-STREET THEATRE.

We visited this pleasing little theatre last night, and
Were gratified at the bill of fare of the evening. The
entertainments consisted of Love, Law, and Physic, in
Which JOHN REEVE was the Lubin Log, and his per-
formance of the character produced roars of laughter.
The Irish Tutor folnwed, and next I, 2,3,
i 4,5,. by
Advertisement, in which Joan; REEVE gave his mlta-
Cons. His imitation of Mr. W. FARREN, in Sir Peter
Teazle, was admirable, and elicited much applause.
,The
entertainments concluded with the Turnpike Gate, Mr.
JOHN REEVE appearing as Crack, and by the extreme
humour that he threw into the character the house was
kept in a roar. This evening KEAN plays for the last
time, Sir Giles Overreach, in the New Way to Pay
old Debts, and there can he no doubt but there will be a
full house. JOHN REEVE takes his benefit on Saturday,
wh n T. P. COOKE acts ;Valiant, in Black Eyed Susan.
On Monday CHAPMAN'S benefit takes place, when the
house will close till the 4th of July, when during the re-
c.ss the interior will undergo much alteration.

THE LATE RIOTS at MERTHYR TYDVIL.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENr, RECEIVED Tills
MORNING.)
TREDE GAR IRON-WORKS, JUNE 15.
Now that all angry feelings are fist subsiding, and the
law is taking its due course, I proceed to give you a few
further particulars, such as I can glean from different
sources. The grievances of Mr. Crawshay's workmen
Were the contemplated reduction in actual wages with the
increased rise of candles and powder, which Mr. C. has
been sPlling to them under prime cost for some time past,
and this to many of the-poor men was less than they could
provide themselves and families with. I have reason to
believe the matter would not have assumed such a serious
character, was it not that many were urged to despera-
tion by the procesi of the Court of Requests, which in
many instances had in the due course of law taken their
beds from under them ; and another concurring circuni-
stance which had been gradually producing a feel-
ing of insubordination among the mobility was, that
during the rejoicings which took place in April
on the, question of Reform, there was a general illu-
mination by the inhabitants of Merthyr, with the
exception of one or two individuals ; these had their
Windows demolished, but were able to point out fr.,m
the crowd a man who was more prominent than the rest,
and summoned him before J. W. Bruce, the Police Ma-
gistrate, who ordered his committal. He was released by
a mob, and from that time fear prevented his farther cap-
tion. The civil power was not sufficient, and this being a
fact well known, it produced its usual consequences among
the ignorant and violent. Mob-law became the order of
the day.. I cannot find that there wag any particular
enmity existing in the feelings of the men, though there
Were, as is usual, reports that some individuals were par-
ticularly obnoxious, The military are expected to be sta-
tioned at Merthyr for some time to come, which will be a
reproach upon the hitherto peaceful and quiet Welshmen.
There is but one feeling in this place, which is that of
general satisfaction ; and although wages are low, yet
there appears to be a wish to wait for better times. The
Abersychan and Varteg workmen are also quiet, and have
returned to their labours. The colliers on the Newport
road are going
on better, and we have reason to hope there
Will he no further disturbances.

POLISH NAMES.—The difficulty often ex-
perience(' in giving utterance to the names of places and
persfms, written according to the Polish orthography, may
perhaps be overcome it the following rules of pronun-
ciation, which mre extract from the preface to Mr.
PLETenER's History of Poland, just published,
be at-
tltalian ended to.—" All vowels are sounded as in French and
; and there are no dipthongs, every vowel being
reunounced distinctly. The consonants are the same as
in English, except IV, which is sounded like v at the be-
ginning of a word ; thus, Warsowa, Trarsafa ; in the
middle or at the end of a word it has the sound of f, as in
the instance already cited and Narew, Naref.—C, like
tr, and never like k ; thus, Pac is sounded Patz.--
G, like in Gibbon ; thus, Oginski,--Ch, I.ke the
Qreek k ; thus, Lech, Leh. Cz, like the English
*eh in pitch ; thus, ezartoryski. pronounce Tehartorishi.
like sh in shape ; flats, Siaszyc, like tahytz.—
,S'zrz, like Slack; thus, Szczerbiee Shtchrhie
-nr, liked' in je, with a slight Found r; thus, lizewuski,
