rtztasn 01,En.t Housc.--Several untoward.,
circumstances- last night interrupted the pleasure
of the audience at this Theatre. The well:.
known opera'of Thellighland Reel was revived,
chiefly for 'the purpose of introducing Mr. MA-
TitEWs 'in the part of Shelly. ! The, commence.-
ment haying been delayed for some time beyond
the usual period, the audience became impatient,
and called for the' Manager. At length Mr.
BAnTLEY came forward, dressed in the Scottish
costume, for the part of AFGll,i)in. lie informed
the audience that the performance was retarded
in consequence of an .accident which had
happened to Mr. PEARNAN and he re-
quested that Mr. Bnowx might be permitted
to read Mr. PrAn.M.ts's part of Charley...—
Mr. BAntr.EY proceeded to state that the new
Operatic Farce of Too Curious by Huff could
not be represented on account of an -accident
which had also befallen Miss L. DANcE, who had
been thrown from a gig, and therefore the enter-
tainment of Is he jealous.? would' be substituted.
Some of the y9Unger part of the audience raised
a 'senseless laagh at this information, but
Mr.. Br. ATLEN, observing, with great feeling, that
`tit 'wtts no laughing matter," he was generally
APplauaectotud wanton levity was heard no more.
The play then commenced, and was as successful
altogether as might be expected, with the draw-
back'Of having a part read instead of being re-
presented-by the intended performer. We have
not room: for detail, and, can only state that the
Opera was well .supported under the disadvan-
tages which had arisen. The last piece was A Day
at an Inn,- in which MAT', cws,lts usual, was the
great moving principle, and, besides his other
faCetions exertions, he highly gratified a very
'genteel and numerous audience with The
Juu-
saaurs of a London Playhouse.
,tiunitEi7 TnEATRE.—The audience was (Hs,
turbed hist night by•the obstinacy of a Lady who
sat in the front boxes, and wore a large bonnet
which impeded the spectators behind her, and
which, notwithstanding repeated expostulations-,
she refused to remove. The Box-keepers were
called, bat they interposed in vain. At length
the pertinacity of the Lady was so strong,
and the clamour against her so vehement,
that the Manager was obliged to interfere.
lie addressed her, and 'the Gentleman who
accompanied her, in the mildest manner,
but was eqUally unsuccessful. At length anon-
, stale appeared, and the resolute' pair found it
necessary to retreat, but it was understood that,
after all this resistance of the reasonable de-
mand of the audience, they were favoured with
a PriVate box. It, is seldom that Such an incident
occurs among decent visitors, and more seldom,
that an audience are contented merely to. corn-
'. plain, and do not themselves remove the obstruc-
tions.to their entertainment. It seemed to he a
question whether the Gentleman sanctioned. the
reSolution of the heroine, or deemed it neces-
sary to succomb to female authority.

COLTURE OF TOBACCO IN CANADA.--The
cul-
ture of tobacco is a subject which' has of late very much en-
grossed the attention of the agriculturists in the western dis-
tricrti of UPper Canada. At a period when agricultural produce
in general is reduced to so low a value, and in a country whose
foreign and domestic marketsrfor such produce are w) unsettled,
solltstant, and so precarious,, we know not an 'objett More
highly deserving of encouragement than the rearing of an.
article, the universal use of which must ever secure to it A
remuneration adequate, at least, to • the expence of its culture
and exportation; indeed, so far has the' truth of this observa.
tion forced itself upon the minds of the farmers of .Upper Ca-
Idia; that many of them lave already spared neither pains,
nor expence, to arrive at a state of more perfect acquintance
with the-cultivation of tobacco; .and the fruits of their indus-
trious perseverance was importation last year into this city of
upwards of a. hundred casks of tobacco. It is this year expect.
eel, not only that this quantity will be doubled, but that a very
large exportation will be made to Europe. It would be un-
pardonable to expect that the quality of so large a lot of to-
hAceo, thus for the first time brought into our market for im-
mediate consumption, would reach, in general, to a competition
wish what had been brought front more favoured climates; and
through the hands of more experienced manufacturers; yet we
are informed, upon very respectable authority, that much of
what,was sold in Montreal was fully of as good quality as
that which is imported from Europe or the United Sweat and
whit is more to the purpose, fetched the very same price.--

A Noble Lord, now at Constantinople, says in
:letter," I look to the English Newspapers for
information as to what we are doing here."
In consequence of the late and protracted state
of the harvest, the Earls of HARDWICKE and De
La WARR, Mr. PYM; Mr. WORTIIAM, and seve-
ral other Gentlemen in the neighbourhood of
Royston and on the western side of the county,
have agreed to postpone the opening of the
shooting season till the 15th of September ; a de-
termination which, we understand, is highly sa.
tisfactory to the farmers in that part of the
cOuntry. Many of the principal landed pro-
prietors in other districts of the county have also
agreed to a similar resolution, and which is likely
to be adopted in most places.—( Cambridge Claw-

rvrtt BY Fit:SITING.— Last night, about seven
o'clock, an afiray,took place in a public-houso in
the Harrow-roml, between some labourers and
three of the soldiers of the First Guards, which,
after some quarrelling, was agreed to be decided
by a pugilistic contest ; consequently a soldier,
named Spenser, and a labouring man, named
Norman, retired to a field, and after fighting a
short time, a Serjeant of the Guards interfered,
and commanded Spenser and the other soldiers
to retire to the Barracks ; this they refused,
biting intoxicated and exasperated at the insults
of their opponents. The Serjeant seized Spenser,
but he broke from his grasp, and rushing at
Norman, struck him a tremendous blow on the
body ; the man staggered a few yards, and
uttering a groan, in a few minutes expired. The
Serjeant very properly conducted the soldiers to
a constable's, and gave them into his custody.—
A very considerable sensation has been excited
by the unfortunate business in the neighbour-
hood, as foul play has been attributed to the sol-
diers who were this afternoon to undergo an
examination before the Magistrates of the dis-
trict.
