THE THEATRES.

KING'S THEATRE.—The new Comic Opera,
brought forward last night under the title of 11
due Pretendenti delusi (The two Suitors deceived)
was very well received, and several of the. songs
were encored. The plot is simply as follows :

Emilia is the ward of Andronico, who.proposes as her husband
Procopio, an old misers The wife Of-Andronico, anxious for
title, proposes Faust°, a man of rank. Emilia prefers Edo-
ardJ, an officer. She alarms the other suitors successively, by
representing to the miser her taste for extravagance, and to the
man of fashion her love of retirement. She finally marries the
Officer.

The music is said to be composed by MOSCA,
a Neapolitan. The piece derived great advan-
tage from DE BEGNJS, and his beautiful wife,
Roxzt,PLAcct,CuttioNx,and Signora GRAZIANI,
and the Opera was altogether so well received
by a very numerous audience as to promise many
successful repetitions.

DauttY-LANE.----The Comedy of A Cure for
the Heart-Ache was represented at this Theatre
last night. ELLISTON was all spirit and hustle
in Young Rapid, and AIuNDEN maintained all his
former excellence in Old Rapid. GATTIE'S Nabob
was respectable. Mrs. ORGEIt entered with spi-
rit into the character of Miss Vortex; and Miss
COPELAND, who appeared for the first time in
Jesse Outlands, rendered the part interesting and
affecting. The Afterpiece of Almoran and Hamel
went off more smoothly in its mechanism, and
experienced a very favourable reception.

COVENT-GARDEN.—The new Melo-drama of
Cherry and Fair Star was repeated last night
with confirmed success. It is really altogether a
very splendid and striking composition.

HIS MAJESTY.—The KING is expected at
Carlton House on this day se'nnight ; and it is
supposed will remain in town till the first week
in May. His MAJESTY will then proceed to the
Cottage on Windsor Forest for a month.
Lord CLANCARTY has arrived in town. He
makes but a short stay, and then goes to Ireland.
When his Lordship left, the Hague, it was uni-
versally believed there that his BRITANNIC MA-
JESTY would visit the Netherlands and Holland
in the summer.

It is well known that one of the candidates

for the office of Common Sergeant had the pre-
sumption, the indecency, and much heavier terms
might be applied to his conduct, to compare our
present Monarch with Nero, the most profligate,
cruel, and unnatural tyrant that ever disgraced a
throne. Indelible discredit will, therefore, for
ever stigmatize the great City of London, if the
person in question should be suffered to obtain
any of its official honours.

Mr. HustE says nothing is more easy than to
talk of the wants of England; but he owns that
his native wants are inexpressibles!
Private letters from Paris mention, that a certain crazy Ba-
ronet, who lately arrived in that capital, has been ordered to
depart in 15 days.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 7.—The 44th Regiment of
Foot landed here this day from Dublin, and are
ordered to Chatham, to embark for India.
ST. PAUL'S, COVENT-GARDEN.-At a meeting of the
Parishioners of St. Paul, Covent-garden, in vestry, yesterday,
fbr the election of a Churchwarden, Mr. Vockney was proposed
by Mr. Corder, and Mr. Wetherfield by Mr. Ifernell. The shew
of hands was decidedly in favour of the former, but a Poll was
demanded by the friends of the latter, which forthwith corn-
menced„ At the close, five o'clock, the numbers were, for
Mr. Yockney - - - 112
Mr. Wetherfield - - 77
Majority - - - —35
The Poll was to close this day.
A stratum of coal has been found on Tidenham Chase, bor-
dering on the Forest of Dean, in this county, which is likely to
laird an abundant supply to that district —A lead mine is also
discovered on Gallows-hill, about a ooarter of a mile S. W. of
Chepstow. The miners are now working in the coal and lead
works.—( Gloucester Journal. April 8.)
GERMAN RonnEßs.—Three German robbers having
acquired, by various atrocities, what amounted to a valuable
booty, they agreed to divide, the spoil, and to retire from so
dangerous a vocation. When the day arrived which they had
appointed for that purpose, one of them was dispatched to a
neighbor: inn town, to purchase provisions for their last carousal.
The other two secretly agreed to murder him on his return,
that each might come in for half the plunder, instead of one
third. They did so; but the murdered man was a closer calcu-
lator than his assassins, for he had previously poisoned part of
the provisions, in order that he might appropriate the whole of
the spoil to himself. The triumvirate of worthies were found
dead together.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-Mr. Hawkins, a traveller, in Stan-
hope-street, was robbed on Monday evening, returning from
Oakingham to Hatchet-lane, Berks, of 221. and some silver,
his watch, and several bills of exchange. He was travelling
in his gig near Warfield, when a person on horseback in-
quired the road to Windsor, and joined company at his pace
to the cross roads to Hatchet-lane and Wingfield-plain, when
two fellows in smock-frocks stopped the chaise and ransacked
it, assisted by the horseman. They resorted to the usual plan
of cutting the harness to prevent pursuit, and made off into
Windsor Forest.

THE MURDER OF lints.• DoNATTY.—The Ma-
gistrates of Hatton-garden Police-office yesterday
received a letter from the Governor of Horse-
monger-lane jail, in consequence of private in-
formation, charging a man in that prison with
the above named horrid murder. The person
charged was apprehended on the Monday after
the murder, for a burglary committed by him
some time before in the county of Surrey, for
which offence he ha 3 been tried at the last Sur-
rey Assizes, and capitally convicted. One of
the Magistrates, accompanied by some police offi-
cers, repaired to the prison, where a private ex-
amination took place; but what transpired in
the present state of the case was floc suffered to
be made public. 1 3C, e11a.4 0 re iv,:
