TETE THEITRE.

CO YENT.G ARDEN.—The new Comedy of Pride
shall have a Fall was so successful. last season,
that the Managers may naturally be induced to
recur to what was then so attractive. It was re-
presented for the second time this season last
night. It must be adthitted that this Comedy is
not written in the dog-trot style of most modern
Dramas, but exhibits an original character, and is
marked by much variety. The 'part of Torrent°
is really original. His address to his fellow-pri-
'toners is ludicrous, diverting,and a good ridicule of
the style of the mob-orators of the day. till. parody
oti Mercutio's celebrated speech is marked by in-
vention us well as by humour. But the play is too
much known to require any comment at this
time. The actors render justice to their cha-
racters. COOPRIL displays great feeling in Lo.
renzo. YATcs gives such a colouring to Corm Inc
as cannot but hold forth a warning to all military
coxcombs. Miss PATON was admirably in voice
last night in Victoria, and her acting also dis-
played affecting tenderness. The Ventosos were
supported with stony; effect by FARREN and Mrs.
DAVENPORT, and the Comedy altogether went off
with all the spirit of novelty.

Sir llAncoutur LEO, we have been informed,
leaves London to-morrow for Ireland, on busi-
ness of vital importance to the Protestant Inte-
rest in that country. The distinguished Baro-
net was splendidly entertained at dinner yester-
day In the Borough by the Protestant Union,
where he explained his views and plans for

neutralising the machinations of the Jesuits
in this country, and for finally overturning the
Roman Catholic Establishments iu England.
This day the Grand Orange Lodge of Great
Britain entertains the Learned Baronet at the
British Coffee-house.
Dr. SYNTAX.—The author of this interesting
cork, in addition to the numerous publications in
which he was engaged, gave, we understand, a
" helping hand" to the Letters from Saint
Helena!

Last Thursday the Trustees of the Roads for

the Parish of St. Mary-le-bosme proceeded to
the appointment of their Treasurer ; when W.
W f. 1.1 A MS, ES(I. M.P. for Weymouth, was chosen
by a considerable majority.
littcEsTEnsnittu PITT CLun.—On Wednesday
last the Anniversary of this Club was holden at the Three
Crowns Inn, to celebrate the Birth of that great Statesman, and
to cherish his patriotic and glorious principles. Every succeed-
ing Anniversary thrnishes an additional proof of the loyal and
patriotic feeling they arc so well calculated to inculcate, and
also of the growing stability of the adherents of these Cunstitu.
Lionel Associations. It. Cron Gft, Esq., presided as Chairman,
and the company, which was numerous and highly respectable,
after partaking of a sumptuous dinner, kept up the festival with
the utmost conviviality to a late hour.—(Leieerter Journal,
Oct. B.)
BEDFORD LEvEL.---We have authority to state,
that several questions relative to the right of voting at elections
in the Bedford Level Corporation have been submitted to a bar-
rister of eminence, who is of opinion that no purehaserS, whose
conveyances have been left at the Fen-office for registration,
but are not entered in the registry-book, have a right to vote,
and that the proprietors from whom such purchases wore made
cannot vote; that a devisee under a will may vote without re-
gistration of the will; that mortgagees in possession, persons
for whom estates are held in trust, guardians during the mino-
rity of their wards, and trustees with discretionary powers of
dealing with land for the benefit of others, are entitled to vote;
and that a husband has the right of voting in respect of lands
belonging to his wifir.--( Cambridge Chronicle.)
DitAtNING.—A steam-engine of forty horse
power is now erecting, to drain a quantity of land between
March and Whittlesca, called the March fourth district, con-
sisting ,1
of about NOM acres. The engine is calculated to drain
with case from 10 to 15,009 acres. There is a large tract of
land adjoining the above district, which, no doubt, in a short
time, will partake of the benefit to be derived front such a cer-
tain drainage as steam presents. In fact we hope the time is
not far distant when a wind-engine to drain•land will be a
Several spirited merchants and ship-owners of
this port (Liverpool) have announced the establishment of a
line of packets to Hail between Liverpool and Kingston, Ja-
maica, on the let and 16th of every month, throughout the
year. We trust that so spirited an undertaking will prove
successful.—( Liverpool Courier.)
POETS.—PLUTARCII has written a clever trea-
tise on the utility which may be drawn from the study of poetry.
" Volumes would not suffice (says at Italian Journalist) to tell
the evils that this enticing art has occasioned. If it be trite
that ALEXANDEIt was incited to his conquests by reading
1-lostEa, (as all antiquity avers,) we have one fact equivalent to
a thousand. Ilow may dullets has SHARSPEARE produced !
how many Lore/aces Richardson ! Imagination soon prompts
to itnitation."

A SABBATH IN BELGIUM.—MOSt of the people
go to church ; but as soon as the service is over, some go home
to their respective private employments (for there are no public
work on Sunday), others, particularly the young of both sexes,
go to their amusements. Some have a dance, of which they
are as fond as their neighbours. Others amuse themselves by
meeting in a house and singing altogether. There is same-
thing very solemn and elevating in their chorus. But the chief
attraction is some mountebank or legerdemain exhibition. In-
stead of street-preaching, as one might see in Whiteehapel or
the Borough, i have here seen, just us the chapel door was
closed, a man produce his monkey and his camel, and very me-
ritorious performances they were. The latter, unwieldy awl
dull in all appearance, danced lightly to the tune of an Irish
jig, and was applauded by hundreds of zealous spectators.
The monkey went through various evolutions on the slack
rope. _

.ANOTHER FORBIDDEN TREE.—Not in a dis-
tant land, and not a hundred miles from Edinburgh, grew a
tree, the pride of the owner's heart, who, with the assistance of
a dog and gun, watched it like some dragon of romance for
many days and nights. Aueighbour cast many a longing look
to this truly noble tree, for it was loaded with pears, and he
wished to make it a Tree of Liberty" to him, but not of
" Knowledge" to its owner. CErtnEnue was owe put Willis
guard ; 'and so was this three-headed guardian, for one un-
lucky evening, after watching long, man, dog, and gun, retired
into the house. On the owner returning to his post, he beheld
with dismay a pearless tree indeed. NeighbOur Sly was about
the same tune suddenly taken ill, and the poor man died.
When on his death-bed, he acknowledged that he had seized
the lucky moment, as, alas !he then thought it—in short, ho
robbed the tree, and used such dispatch, that the heat and
fatigue had produced an inflammatory complaint, of which he
died. The above, though jocularly told, is a true occurrence._
(Scotch Paper.)
THE LATELY REPORTED MARRIAGE.—The
lovely actress, who a few days since was within an {itch of being
united to a wealthy commoner residing in this county, is at the
present moment full a Foot from being so. The morning ap.
pointed for the happy event had arrived —a sumptuous breakfast
was provided by the father of the intended bride—the clergyman
was in waiting, and nothing but the presence of the Gentleman
was wanting to consummate the ceremony., It appears that he
had come to town for the express purpose, and had taken up his
residence at Long's Hotel, to which place, after the appointed
hour had elapsed, a messenger was dispatched, when it was
found that his friends, averse to the match, had locked him in
his chamber. Under a similar confinement, the messenger was
immediately placed; and a second messenger, who soon after
arrived, shared, the like fate. At length some of the Lady's
friends went in quest of the lover, and reached Long's just at
the moment he was stepping into his carriage, which conveyed
him into the country. Thus has terminated the hopes of !dr. F.
and his beautiful daughter.-4 Devizes Gazette.)
