TAE THEATRE.

HAYN A UKET.—The Comedy of Such Things
Are was revived at this Theatre on Saturday
last. It was well attended, and excited much
applause. The part of Twineall, which was
originally performed by the late Mr. LEwls,one
of the most spirited and agreeable actors within
our remembrance, was assigned on this occasion
to LISTON, who was more diverting than charac-
teristic. Pope was the original Mr. Haswell,
and as the part is more suitable to his present
time of life than it was on the first appearance of
the piece, we see no reason for disoussessing him
of it, though it was rendered very respectable in
the hands of COOPER. To Poec was assigned the
part of the Sultan, which would more judiciously
have been given to COOPER. FARREN rendered
the ridiculous part of Sir Luke Tremor very
effective, and nothing could be better than Ludy
Tremor by Mrs. GIUBS.—We regret to see this
Comedy severely attacked in a respectable Morn-
ing Paper (The Times) of this day, as it really
possesses claims to public support, on the score of
morality, pathos, humour, and benevolence, with
a certain degree of extravagance, that renders
it an agreeable and useful miscellany. Wo hear-
tily wish that such another Comedy could be
he presented by any dramatic writer of the pre-
sent day, and we think, though we have not the
highest opinion of the judgment of Managers
in general, that they would have too much taste
and good sense to reject it. Mrs.ltioniAtn, the
Author of this Comedy, was an acute observer of
human life, and possessed great skill in the deli-
neation of character, as well as in the construc-
tion of what is technically termed situntion in
dramatic pieces. Iler conduct through life was
exemplary. She managed the produce of her
talents with prudence, and sacrificed her own
ease and comfort for the purpose of leaving a
provision for reverel relations who stood in need
of her assistance. To one of her nearest rela-
tives she allowed two hundred a year during her
life, and other relatives, we have reason to be-
lieve, amply partook of her generosity before her
decease. She besides liberally testified her gra-
titude to those horn whom site had derived any
advantage, literary, or otherwise. After an inti-
mate friends!:ip with 11(1. for very many years,
and a thorough knowledge of her character, we
can fairly say, that we certainly never knew a
more estimable individual, and we therefore felt
great regret in reading the criticism alluded to,
'rom admiration of her talents as well as respect
'or her memory.

A new piece, from the pen of Mr. Lumx, is,
we hear, forthcoming at the Haymarket 'Dw-
ain.. If it should equal the Family Jars, and
Fish out of Water, by the same author, the
Public as well as the Manager will have reason
to be sati•fied.

MANSION-HOUSE--..'(Tals DAY.)
ATTACK ON Mtt. A RCUP.O..---111immts Anchor,
the
manioc
who was examined on
Saturday
with attempting to shoot at
Mr. Archer, on the Royal Exchange, was again
put to the bar. The Justice Roont was crowded
to excess. Mr. Harroll, with whom the pri-
soner lived, gave him a most excellent character
for the last five years. Mrs. Anchor, the wife, a
most interesting young woman, deposed to the al-
teration of the prisoner's mind on Wednes-
,d.aky,..,----.

the poor fellow had lost a contiideratilii that
money three months ago, which hnd preyed on
his mind. The Loan MAynn conversed with
his friends, and it was resolved to remand him
a few days to see whether his state of mind
would warrant his being given up to them.

BOW-STREET—(Tnts DAT.)
IMPUDENT llosaitßY.—An old man, named
James Graham, a discharged watchman, belong-
ing to St. Martin's parish, was brought up from
the watch-house for stealing some butter and two
glass goblets, the latter the property of Mr. Bear-
park, of the Northumberland Arms, Scotland-
yard. It appeared from the evidence, that the
prisoner, between seven and eight o'clock yester-
day morning, was observed coming out of the
cheesemonger's shop, and was deliberately walk-
ing away with the butter, when he was appre-
hended, and, on searching his person, the two
goblets were found secreted in his pockets. The
prisoner, on being called upon to answer the
charge of robbery, declined saying any thing.
Ile was consequently committed for trial, and the
parties bound over to prosecute.

valuable a document, that we shall take an early
opportunity of stating its general merits to our
