SHAISPEARIeS Henry the Fourth is the, neat
play to he produced at Covent•garden Theatre,
decorated with the same attention to costume and
habit of the period, which Mr. PLAzious, has dis-
played in his accurate and most characteristic
dresses in king John.
Rossm.---,The celebrated ROSSINI) and his
wife, Madame COLUIIAN ROSSINI, arrived in
London on Saturday, hating been engaged and
brought to this country by Signor BENELLI, the
present Manager of the Opera. These cele-
brated Performers have met lvith the mostfica-
tering reception in Paris—on balancing accounts,
we have no doubt that those distinguished Artists
will acknowledge, ere long, that England, more
tardy, perhaps, in its notice of approval, is more
successful as to its substantial way of reception.
On Friday night, or: very early on Saturday
morning, a, laundry which stands detached from
the residence of Mr. JOHN STOCKDALE, at Not-
ting was entered by means of picklocks,
and four baskets, containing nearly the whole
linen of his family, ten in number, were carried
off. It seems the more remarkable, from the
moon being particularly bright, patroles on the
road, and his servants having risen at four o'clock
to attend the chimney-sweepers. A few nights
before a garden bell was stolen from the gate.—
We hear That he has some clue to the robbers.

EXECUTlON.—(Edinburgh, Dec. 10.)—The
execution of the unfortunate youth, Thos. Black,
who was convicted on the 4th of November, of
the crimes of house-breaking and theft, took
place this morning at the head of Libberton's
Wynd, amidst a great concourse of spectators.—
Ms behaviour, 'since the commutation of the
punishment of his younger associate, has been, in
every respect, suitable to his awful situation ; and
on his arrival at the place of execution, he
prayed for a considerable time with the
greatest appearance of devotion mad penitence. lie
then, in an audible voice, addressed the crowd,
acknowledging his guilt, and warning them to
avoid evil company, who had brought him to his
ignominious death. Ile was, then launched into
eternity, and died apparently without pain.
During the awful scene, a death-like silence was
uniformly maintained by the spectators, who
lamented his untimely end. He was attended by
the Rev. Dr. Grant and the Rev. Mr. Porteous.
