THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.—Mr. KEAN was so hoarse la.
night in his performance of Richard the Thir
that he felt himself obliged to address the Bud'
ence on the occasion, and after every laudab
exertion to prevent them from being disappoin
ed, he was under the necessity of relinquishin,
the part, which was respectably continued, afte
the third act, by Mr. WALLACE.

COVENT•GA.RDEN.—The tine historical play of
Julius Caesar attracted a numerous audience last
night.—Mr. YOUNG, who is the rightful inhe-
ritor of the late Mr. KEsterx in the part of
Brutus, supported it last night with critical
truth and powerful effect. Mr. C. KrstaLE's
.Anthony is one of his best tragic parts. Energy
and correctness marked his performance, as here-
tofore. The character of Cassius was assigned to
Mr. COOPER, and he sustained it with spirit and
impressive emotion. Some of the Morning Critics
have unjustly carped at his performance, and
others have animadverted on his dress and the
pallidity of his features. lie is a straight-forward
actor, and will succeed while he follows the dic-
tates of his own good sense. It is said by one of
these Critics, that be followed Mr. MACREADY
in his Cassius. We saw nothing like a resem-
blance of that actor, and hope that he will con-
tinue to avoid all imitation of any other, what-
ever may be his popularity.

Having known the worthy individual whose
lamented death is recorded in the following arti-
cle, in the Newcastle Courant of Saturday last
(to the truth of which, in every sense, we most
fully assent), it is with heartfelt sympathy and
the most unaffected regret that we give publicity
to it in TIM SUN

" Died, on Monday last, the. 15th inst., in bonder), Jostyti
BAINBRIDGE, sem Esq., of this town, Solicitor, aged 59._
This Gentleman has, for the last quarter of a century, occu•
pied so considerable a space in the general estimation of this

town and the adjoining counties, as an able, upright, and sue-
cessful Practitioner of the Law, and as a cheerful, kind, and
hospitable friend and neighbour,— uniformly courteous, liberal,
and ingenuous, in his intexcours. e with his professional Brethren,
and benevolent to all : that the intelligence of his unexpected
decease cast a general gloom over the town,—and the feeling
that a great vacancy had been made in . society by the melan-
choly event, seemed to be almost universal. lie went to the
Metropolis to undergo an operation for an anurisin in the right
arm, brow ht on by phlebotothy unskillfully performed several
years ago. The excision was dexterously effected by an eminent
surgeon, and for several days flattering hopes were entertained
of a perfect recovery ; hut on Monday the blood rushed to the
head, and death quickly seized his victim, to the incalculable
loss of his numerous and disconsolate family, thus bereaved of
their last affectionate parent."

DREADFUL ACCIDENT, AND PRECAUTION TO
COACIIIIEN.----bla night, about ten o'clock, the
Van from LOWIOII to Dover, was standing at the
first inn door in Gravesend, without coach-
man, guard, or ostler, at the heads of the
horses, when hearing the horns blown by the
guard of the Union coach, they set oft, and
touched it with the van, but fortunately did
not overturn it. The guard of the van ran
after it, and making an attempt to stop the
horses in vain, he was thrown down, and both legs
were crushed by the van going over them ; the
poor fellow was taken to the workhouse at
Gravesend without hopes of his recovery.

Letters were received yesterday from Rio de
Janeiro, dated the 25th of October, two days
subsequent to the sailing of the packet. The Coo.
Kress of Brasil had on that day, after a warm
discussion, passed a decree, authorizing the trial
by jury in civil and criminal cases, which was to
be brought into immediate operation. No other
fact of importance is mentioned in these letters,
and the report of an approaching change in the
ministry not being again alluded to, may be con.
sidered as without foundation.
We understand that the venerable Sir J. Cox

lIIPPISJLEY, and also Colonel PA Una, our worthy
Representative, have become subscribers to the
Greek fund within the'laat week ; and we are
happy to hear that the Fishmongers Company,
London, hate subscribed 2001. to the same fund.

ti-ROSS FAUILICATION.—We have authority to
state that an ,article, which appeared on the
Weekly Register of the 18th instant, headed
" Monx PNELING," and which pretended to
give an account of a transaction in which a NMI.
tryman was killed by one of the Meath Police, is
u foul fabrication altogether. No such occur-
rence took place, nor were there even a fracas
which could furnish the least ground for manu.
factoring such a story.—lt is thus that the elm»
meter of this respectable body, who are entrust-
ed with the duty of preserving the peace of the
country, is often traduced and libelled. And it
is by such arts as these that the Ridical Press
and its advocates endeavour to sow dissensions
between the peas/11.0y and the body formed for
their protection.—Dublin Correspondent, Dec. W. ,
