KING'S TIIIIATRZe--*Miss MACATILVY last night
resumed her recitations in the Concert Room at
this Theatre. The subject was, as before► a
Drama, written by herself, entitled Mary Stewart.
The work is highly creditable to the literary
talents of the fair author. It is long, but it
was recited with so much energy, and her
manner was so well varied, according to
the differences in the several passages, some
pathetic, some descriptive, some requiring ani-
mated exertions, and the whole so well calcu-
lated to arrest the feelings, that no langour, but
much sympathy and applause, attended the re-
citation. The strength, delicacy, softness, and
variety of tones of which her voice is capable,
brought all the qualities of the composition into
such prominent effect, as indeed to afford an ad-
mirable lesson on the art of READING; and the
fair reciter received warm and universal approba-
tion from a very numerous and respectable au-
dience.

'We think our Readers will be gratified by the
following Extract from the Obieuary of the last
" Gentleman's Magazine," as it contains a just
Character of an amiable Nobleman, lately deceas-
ed, drawn by a masterly Pep

" VISCOUNT • DUDLEY AND 'WARD.
" The death of men whose lives have been only distinguished
by Political contention, may attract notice, but cannot excite
sympathy. Not so when the generous, the good, and, virtuous,
Man departs from this mortal scene,—he leaves a void in society
not easily. tilled up : Such is the death of the late Lord DUD I.ZY.
This amiable Nobleman shunned the walks of ambition for the
tranquil paths of domestic life, of which he was, without osten-
tation, one of the ornaments,—though no man had a warmer
attachment to the Constitution of his Country, or felt a more
disinterested Loyalty to his Sovereign. His Benevolence was
as princely as his fortune: It was not confined to Public
Charities, where his name, indeed, was always conspicuous,
but, as from a centre, extended its raysio a circle so large, that
none but those well acquainted with the populeus part of the
country in which this excellent Nobleman resided, can form a
just idea of its magnitude. llondreds of the Poor will feel his
loss; and many-in a superior rank of life will secretly lament
that, the hand is cold which voluntarily relieved them from the
pressure of misfortune, with a delicacy, of feeling that doubled
the benevolence of the act. As long as gratitude warms the
human heart, the memory of Lorti DIM', EY will be dear:
And though he died without a Will, the Widow—the Orphan
—and the Friendless, have this Coriselation to assuage their
Sorrow, that his highly-gifted Son, the sticcesitor to his honours
and splendid fortune, is also the Heir of his Benevolence.—

The case of the Clergyman of 13uckingham-
shire, whose name, though we did not mention it, has found its
way into the papers, brought up to Bow-street for an alleged
act of indecency, seems to us a peculiarly hard one. We are
afraid that advantage is too frequently taken by bad and un-
principled characters, of the popular indignation against a cer-
tain description of °anew', to make charges of this kind the
means of extorting money. We have heard that snore than one
attempt has lately been made in Hyde-park by soldiers to oh-
tain money in this way from individuals walking by themselves.
This is a subject well deserving of attention. The unfortunate
Clergyman, however innocent, cannot, if he possesses the de-
licacy of a gentleman, re-appear among his parishioners with
out the most painfld feelings. So many charges of this kind
have lately been brought against Clen(ymen,- that in our con-
science we believe their unpopularikr,stal the critic ot'a certain
Dignitary, have tussle them a mark tor the worthless to at.
