THE THEATREi:..

HAYMARKET.—We have never witnessed' so
large an audience us attended this Theatre, last
night, to see the Farce of The Deaf Lover, the
Comedy of The Heir at Law, and the Barletta
of Midas. The Farce went off very well with
the assistance of FA name, in the part of Meadows.
It is a very extravagant production, but it is
diverting. In The Heir at Law, IiAtILEY made
his first appearance, for the season, in the
part of • Doctor Panglon. Ile was received
as a favourite on hi., entrance, and his per-
formance prolonged the applause. I.rsTox's
Lord Duberley was, as usual, highly ludicrous.
The Barletta of Alidas retained most of the
audience, particularly as the wise Justice was re-
presented by LisToN. Mrs. VESTIUS (we wonder
She should like to he styled a Madam), was en-
cored in " Pray Goody," hut she flourished it too
much, and destroyed the simple vivacity of the
air.y which is understood to have been composed
by ROUSSEAU, and therefore should not have been
improved by such interpolations, from respect to
that celebrated Author.

ENGLISH OFZILA DOUSE.-The terrific Drama,
entitled Presumption,' or, The Fate of Frank-
enstein, which a few seasons ago was so popular
at this Theatre, was revived last night with all
its original horrors. The part of the indescri-
bable monster, the dreadful hero of the piece,
was performed by its original representative, Mr.
'l'. P. Cooke, and it excited the same feelings of
surprise and horror. To Mr. BAILER was assign-
ed the part of Frankenstein, and he seemed to
be sufficiently terrified by the horrible, offspring
of his own creation. The house was very well
attended, and had a large proportion of the
fashioNable world.

BIRMINGHAM THEATRIC.—Mr. Kgkli made his
appearance at our Theatre on Monday. His first appearance
since his judicial debut in his favourite character of Richard 111.
A few minutes before the curtain drew up there were not above
two persons in the lower boxes, though the number at the time
of his enire had increased to about thirty, aril afterwards to a
hundred, among whom were twelve females. The gallery
benches were by no means numerously filled, and Kean's friends
in the pit about half tilled it. On his appearance on the stage a
loud burst of applause proceeded from most of the audience, and
the few hisses were stifled in the uproar. One lady in the centre
of the pit appeared quite carried away by her excess of feeling,
for standing up with something in her hand resembling a towel,
she waved it in a most enthusiastic, and to Mr. Kean no doubt,
gratifying manner. When the applause had a little subsided,
and the hisses became more audible, this heroine looked round
with a most terrifying aspect, threatening every one that ex-
pressed disapprobation with annihilation. It must be confessed,
however, that the hisses were few in number, as those persons
who, from feelings of morality, or dislike to the peculiarities of
Kean's acting, did not /wish to patronise him, had generally
pursued the wise plan of keeping at home, and the play pro-
ceeded in a very orderly way. On Tuesday, the theatre was
miserably attended to see Kean as Shylock. The house on
Wednesday might was wretched in the extreme; and who
would have imagined that the thinnest house during the season
would have been that on which the Kean performed Othello !
He was evidently highly indignant, and though the few that
had mustered on the occasion gave him several rounds of ap-
plause, he only deigned to notice them by one single slight in-
clination of his head. He stood erect, with his back partly
turned towards the audience, who tried, in vain, to soothe his
wounded spirit. On Thursday the theatre was rather better
attended, yet only very moderately, when Kean exhibited Sir
Giles Overreach, a l'ordinairc. Last night the fashionables
assembled in very small numbers to patronise Kean in Lear,
and the performances during the week have been worsiteat-
tended than any week the present season.—(Birminghurn Jour-
nal, July 23.)

SINCLAIR, of Covent Garden Theatre, wills!.
recently performing the part of Apollo in the
burletta of Midas, on the Liverpool stage, when
in the act where he is supposed to fall from the
clouds, was precipitated upon a hard board, in-
stead of the usual blanket sustained by three or
four of the porters, by which he sustained consi-
derable personal injury. He is, however, by
great care, recovered from the effects of the fall,
and is now in London.

By the Jamaica mail which arrived yesterday,
letters from Lima to the 18th March have been received. They
state, but as a rumour only, that a proposition for a surrender
had been made to BOLIVAR by General RODIL, the Governor
of Callao--an event which the hopelessness of a protracted
resistance on his part renders extremely probable. The capitu-
lation drawn up by RODIL, was said to consist of 16 articles;
and it was understood that Captain .HALING, commander of
his Majesty's ship Cambridge, then off Callao, was to be the
guarantee for RoDit.'s carrying all the stipulations contained
in it into effect. This account, it is scarcely necessary to ob•
serve, completely falsifies a statement brought lately by way of
Puerto Cabello, that Callao had been carried by assault, and
that all the garrison had been put to the sword by BoLsvale.
The Jamaica papers supply no local intelligence of importance.
Some parts of the island had been flooded by the heavy rains,
which were attended by severe gales of wind ; but no injury of
any consequence is reported. The roads in many places were
rendered impassible by the violence of the floods.

KINGSTON, JUNE Majesty's ship
Rattlesnake, Captain Patton, anchored at Port-Royal yester-
day, in ten days from Honduras.. By the Rattlesnake we
learn, that on the 26th ult. the Beaver brig of war, with the
schooners Isabella and Bristol, arrived at Omoa. A pirate
being stated to be in the neighbourhood, boats were manned from
the vessels to go in search of her: the one that Captain Thomas
commanded unfortunately upset, and he was drowned. The
Beaver was cruising, in hopes of falling in with the pirates._
The schooner Isabella, 'Williamson, was to sail from Honduras
or London in four days after the Rattlesnake had sailed.
A letter from Panama, of the 22d of April,
states that the Santander, Colombian corvette, which was taken
possession of by her crew whilst at anchor in that bay, on the
sth August, was on the coast of Guatemala the end of Novem-
ber, committing depredations. She had taken a brig called the
111;dio Atm:do, of Guayaouil, which she plundered, as well as
the passengers on board, arid afterwards abandoned her ; also a
schooner, called the Acana, which she sunk.
M. RAGou, a Member of the ilaytian House of
Representatives, who lately arrived in this coun-
try on a private mission from that Government,
died on Sunday last of a fever, brought on, ns is
supposed, by the heat of the weather. lie is said
to have expressed much disappointment at not
having been received with greater marks of dis-
tinction here, having been led to suppose that this
Government were inclined to pursue the same
course with respect to St. Domingo which they
had adopted towards the new American States.
His immediate business in this country related,
we believe, to the formation of an association for
trading and mining in St. Domingo.—(Times.)
The four Canadian Chiefs have taken their
passage in the Caledonia merchantman, which
sails on Saturday for Quebec. They appear
delighted with their excursion to England, par-
ticularly at the attention paid tp them in the
metropolis.
The new wharfs running from Waterloo Bridge
along the Belvidere-road, are among the more
useful of recent public improvements. The wet
dock, also, which has Just been excavated, will
contribute greatly to the interests of commerce,
by facilittltin& the lauding and warehousing of
good s.
