THE THENTRE.

Covvcr-GAitnex.--The pleasant Comedy of
All in the Wrong was • represented last night at
this Theatre for the benefit of Mr. CHARLES
KEMBLE. The merit of the Play, and the judi-
cious manner in which the chief characters were
appropriated, with the expectation of hearing
CATALAN' at the commencement, in " Rule Bri-
tannia," and in- " God save the King," drew so
numerous an' audience at an early hour, that the
Play began in the midst of such a tumult as ren-
dered the first -act wholly inaudible. The pres-
sure of the crowd was indeed so great, that many
persons were lifted, in a fainting state, from the
pit into the boxes. Mr. KEMBLE came forward
twice, and endeavoured to allay the storm,
desiring to know how he could contribmte to the
comfort of the audience, and stating that those
who were incommoded, and desirous of with-
drawing, might receive their money at the doors.
His evident anxiety to render the audience com-
fortable at length quelled the tumult, but there
was a general call for a repetition of the act.
The appearance of CATALAN' soon after com-
pletely restored tranquillity, and she sung the first
song, assisted by a chorus of other . performers,
with so much force and brilliancy, that an
equal storm of applause followed. The act
was then repeated. The same effect was pro-
duced by her " God. save the King," at a sub-
sequent period. NV e have not room to detail the
merits of the Performers, but it is due to Mr.
KEMBLE, .Torres, Miss CHESTER, and Mrs.
CHATTERLEY, in particular, to state that the
Comedy received adequaate - support from
their respective exertions. The same may
be said of Miss PATos and Mks M. TREE, in
the afterpiece, The Marriage of Figaro. It is
gratifying to find that an actor whose talents
have raised him into such high, and well-merited
popularity has on this occasion received so sub-
stantial a proof of public esteem.

IRELAND.—We lament to find that we are still
obliged to record more outrages committed by
the infatuated peasantry of the Sou; h. That there
is a dreadful conspiracy against life, property, law,
and order, yet extending its baleful ravages in the
South, is but too evident ; for what but a conspi-
racy, and the terror attached to its disclosures,
could prevent some of the perpetrators engaged
in these nefarious acts from being informed
against. And yet what is to be done? The In-
surrection Act, one would suppoSe, is severe
enough in its restrictions and penalties. Much
of the evil no doubt arises from the lamentable
state of demoralization in which the peasantry
are found—and considerable censure must. attach
to those who labour so assiduously to keep them
in this situation of mental degradation. Fling-
ing idle and unmeaning abuse on the Govern-
ment for not preventing these outrages, is pre-
posterous in the extreme. What can the Go-
vernment do, but punish according to law the
i aggressors when detected ? It cannot infuse
morals into them--it cannot root out lung-esta-
blished prejudices and animosities—it cauuot al-
ter the bent of a depraved and ignorant nature.
'Fhese must wait for amendment from. the slow
operation. of legislative measures, as the religious
Pastors of the peasantry appear neither able nor
disposed to offer any check to their excesses.—

The Earl of LIVERPOOL continued better yes-
terday, but was not able to leave his house ; and
in consequence the Cabinet Council summoned
by Mr. Secretary CANNING to assemble yester-
day did not meet at the usual place, but met at
the Earl of Liyenrool.'s house, Whitehall, at
three o'clock, and was attended by the Loitn
CHANCELLOR and the whole of the Cabinet Mi-
nisters, with the exception of Viscount SID-
MOUTH ; where the Council continued in delibe-
ration till nearly five o'clock. After the break-
ing up of the Council, Mr. Secretary CANNING
was in consultation with the Earl of LIVERPOOL
for some time. _ _

It is stated that Lord G IFFORD is actually
appointed Master of tl.e Rolls, and will be
sworn in on Saturday. Ile will take upon him-
self the duties of that office immediately after-
wards. It has been supposed that there is no
precedent of a Peer filling that office, hut that
it is au oversight ; there is a precedent for it in
the person of Lord Bruce, of Kinross, a Scots
Peer, who came from Scotland with James 1.,
and filled that off►ce to the time of his death,
which happened on the 13th of January, 1610.
And also of John Lord Culpepper, in the reign
of Charles I.; he was a Peer of the realm.—

The liermiont, French frigate, is now named
as the vessel which was fired on in attempting to
pass the English blockading squadron off Algiers.
That ship, it appears, sailed from Cadiz on the
10th of February, with specie, hound to Barce-
lona, and a port of France. No further intelli-
gence that can be relied on has been received on
the subject.
