THE THEATRES.

Davair-LANE.---The Comedy of Wild Oats,
which may be considered as the most regular
dramatic production of its whimsical Author,
O'KEEFE, was represented last night. The Rover
of &LISTON was exhibited with unimpaired vi-
vacity and humour. DOWTON'S Sir George
Thumder is the best that has been seen since the
days of QUICK, who was an actor that altogether
has never been excelled in his proper range of
parts. GATTIE is an actor of experience and
judgment, as he fully manifested in John Dory.
Mrs. W. WEST, a beautiful woman and a very
interesting actress, gave a pleasing 'representation
of Lady Amaranth. Mrs. 01IGEll has lately very
much improved in ease and spirit : her Jane was
effective, and she was well supported by the
rustic humour of KNIGHT in Sim. The Comedy
was much applauded, and was followed by
Giovanni in London, and Madame VESTItIS en-
tered into the part of the gallant hero with as
much gpirit as if she had just come from studying
the Poem of Don Juan. The House was well
attended.

COVENTZARDEN.—The School of Reform, on
account of the sudden popularity of Mr.ILA Y !VIM,
was represented again
.last night, and his Tyke
operated as strongly on • the feelings of the au-
dience as at first. In those passages which pecu-
liarly called for the exertion of his powers, such
as,the discovery of his father, after he had robbed
hitti, arid also on seeing the mark on the neck
of Frederick., which he had impressed on the
latter in his infancy, ids agitation was:drawn
from the source of strong feeling and a close
observation of the working of the passions. 1t is
no slight consolation to the public for the loss of
poor- Emn tvie. that be is succeeded by an actor so
well calculated to give importance to those cha-
racters in which he was so peculiarly successful.
A good house.

The extraordinary. Courier who brought, to
Paris the news of. Ric Go's entry into Nine) rid,
brought also several
,private letters. We have
seen one of these, addressed Wan opulent banker
at Paris by his Correspondent at Madrid. The
following is a literal copy of it :
"111 A null), Oc.r.4.—Riego arrived this morning between 5
anti o'clock, escorted by the peasantS who took him pritioner
at Arguillos, and by a strong detachment of the Army of the
Faith. The Commander of the escort was the famous Torte.
Alta, one of the assassins of the 7th of July, liberated by San
.3liguel, the Minister, the Jugc d'lnstruction. The French
garrlion was under arms, and thanks to this measure no disor.
der ensued. Riego appeared well convinced of the • fate which
awaits him. llc behaves with great dignity', and speaks to no.
body. Hip. trial is much spoken of, but the general opinion is
that he will be judged by a Military Commission, the Chief of
which will.be General Castanos.
"The Autumn fair has begun, and the shops are opened in
the street d'Alcala. There is much company there, but not a
single respectable person."—(Morning Chronicle.)

Yesterday morning Mr. WILLI AMC, the King's
Messenger arrived at the Foreign Office, Down-
ing-street, with dispatches from Sir CIIA
STUART; atTaris.
Sir ItODERT HERON, finding his politics not
sufficiently fashionable in the county of Lincoln,
has withdrawn his pretensions to the representa-
tion. The only candidate at present is Sir Wm.
INGE. Y A hICOTTS.
Nem-DisTmt.vnty LAWS.—By the New Bill,
it is enacted that from and after the 10th Octo-
ber, English wine, measure is to be the standard
measure measure for Irish and. Scotch spirits.
This regulation is most material to the Public.
The Stamp Duties paid on account of the lute
Mr. IticAttuo's will amount to 6,0001.

The trustees of the Deptford lower roads' met
on Wednesday last, for the purpose of electing a
say-Igor to the Trust. The candidates were Mr.
M'Adam, the projector of the new plan for
proving the pavement-of the metropolis, and Mr.
'Horton Ledger. At 'the close of the election,
the numbers were—;For Mr. Ledger, 32-,-Mr.
M‘Adam, 11. .
A ruffian far advanced in years, namel Thomas
Par Mer, a sort, or pedlar, was charged yesterday
at ,flow-street with having stolen a child only six
years and'seven months old from her parents, who
reside in Prince's-street, Lambeth, for a purpose
horrible even to allude to.. He was pursued
and. detected after a diligent 'search. The Ma-
gistrate- committed
.him for felony in stealing'
the child, and ordered a detainer to be lodged
against him for the assault. Convinced that the
publication of 'details in cases of this kind, and
others equally disgusting, only tends to shock the
feelings of the respectable part of society, and to
increase the spread of licentiousness amongst
the vicious, --we have always- abstained from in-
serting them. Lt would be well if some of our
contemporaries followed, our example. A news-
paper containing such statements as we have re-
cently seen in some of them ought to be ex-
cluded with indignation and contempt, not only
from private families, but from every decent
coffee-room. The extent of the mischief pro-
duced by such descriptions is incalculable ; and
on the score of justice they have no excuse, for
the exposure of the criminal is equally affected
by the bare-mention of his offence and its punish-
men t,--( New Times.)
A MANIAC.—In the course of the day a person
of genteel exterior presented himself to Mr.
MINSUULL, at Bow-stteetiand solicited a private,
interview, as he said he had something to com-
municate respecting a murder in Ireland. Mr.
Minsittill accordingly went into the room, taking
another Gentleman with him, and on the ap-
plicant for the private interview being introduced,
he began talking so manifestly: incoherent, as
plainly denoted his being in a state of insa-
nity. lie also- accompanied his declamation
with such extravagant action, which became so
violent, that Mr.'Minshell fearing he would do
some mischief precipitately left the room, and
Ordered sonie of the patrolo to go in and secure
him. lie no sooner perceived his intention, than
falling on his knees, roared out with a voice
sufficiently loud to alarm the neighbourhood,
" Oh, Lord God ! what have I done ? Murder !
What haie I done ?" It was some time before.
he was rendered the least quiet, but no
hence cOuld be gained from him as to who or
what he was.---Mr. Minsbull humanely ordered
him to be When proper care of,
