Fit ORATonio.--Tire SUCCCeiS winch attends till!
.grand species of public amusement, at Covent Gar-
den Theatre, is the natural consequence of the abi-
lities which are employed. in concluding and sup-
porting it. The first ad of HAYDN'S Creation, and
two miscellaneous ads, consisting of judicious se-
4e:talons from the best Composers, constituted the
entertainment- of last night. Mrs. DICKONS, who
has recently been deprived of a very near relation,
resumed her station last night, and exerted herself
with z.'s much energy as could be expected under the
impresSion of such a loss. BRAHAM introduced a
new air, entitled " England's King and England's
Glory." The music was characterized by appropri-
ate anirnation, and was given with correspondent
force and spirit by the Performer. The whole re-
ceived the warm applause of a numerous audience.

A Benefit was generously given by the Managers
of the Theatre in Edinburgh, for the Charity Work-
House of that place, on Monday last. Mr. and Mrs.
STEPHEN KEMBLE laudably exerted their talents on
the occasion.

. mid JAMESON, of the Bath Theatre, whose ta-
lents we have before had occasion 'to mention, had
a benefit there a few nights ago, which was attended
by the first people in the plate, and the receipts of
which were 1651.; a just tribute to this Lady's merit.
Her acting is much in the style of Miss FARREN, of
whom she may indeed be considered as an elegant
counterpart.

The report lately circulated of Madame GRASSINI
having been poisoned in Holland is unfounded; that
Lady was well at Amsterdam on the 2d inst.

It seems, the Italian Artist employed in painting
Lord CLONCURRY'S cieling must have a wonderful
mind, that could fix it on things above and belOw at
the same time.

_The Dublin Caricaturists are exercising their ta-
lents upon Sir J. B. WERS'S Grim. Con. with Lady
CLONCURRY, Among the fanciful pieces of this
Class is A Sketch from Life, by an Italian Master,
valued by Twelve Connoisseurs at 20,0001.
The Marquis TOWNSEND reached his Eighty-fifth
year on Wednesday. The Marchioness, in honour
of the day, gave a splendid dinner to a large party
of their friends in Weymouth-street. In the even-
ing, in addition to the amusement of cards, the fe-
male part of the company were gratified with a kind
of lOttery;consisting of elegant and valuable articles of
fashionable decoration. The whole passed off with
the utmost pleasantry, and a general wish for many
Anniversaries to the venerable Host.

BEDFORD, MAR cif 13.—A person of this town
undertook, for a•wag-er of a guinea, to pick up 100
stones, lying a yard from each other, with his mouth,
and carry them, one at a time, and deposit them
from his mouth into a basket which was stationed
at the first stone. He was allowed an hour to do it,
but did it this forenoon, very completely, in 56
minutes. What makes the exertion still more re-
markable is that the man who did, it is tall, and
weighs upwards of 'sixteen stone.

On Wednesday last as a maid-servant was clean-
ing a glass lamp in the lobby of.the house of Samuel
Horrocks, Esq. in Preston, by some means the pul-
ley broke, and the weight falling. on her head, 'frac-
tured her skull in such ,a manner as to cause her
death in a few hours.

examined at Bow-street before Sir WILLIAM

fence was sufficiently proved_ by the clerk to the
bookseller, to induce the l'qagistrate to commit the.
prisoner for re-examination on Friday next. On
searching Sitngis apartments at Kentish Town, 23
duplicates were found of boOks, &c. besides two
broken spoons,
,marked " Golden-Cross, Charing-

Parker a depredator well known in the promenades
. at the West end of the town by the title of Captain
Hart, was charged With a robbery at Beale's Hotel,
Jermyn-street., The Prisoner went to the hotel on
Thursday evening, and being seen by a waiter in the
passage, whose business accidentally led him up
stairs, he asked if that was .not the Union Hotel.
The prisoner had his hand in his pocket, and from ;
his manner of conduding himself, Notley, the waiter, '
took the liberty of releasing his hand, when, he found
a silver fork in it, which had been taken off the
sideboard. The Prisoner in his defence said the
waiter had given him the fork. He was fully com-
mitted for trial. d
