GREECE.---(SEMLIN, OCT. 28.)—Since the
death of the heroic Marco Boner', his brother Constantine has
made himself known ; and, according to a letter freenVlno,
dated October 13, and which has been received at Nissa, he has
avenged the death of his brother in a manner worthy of him.
He is said to have completely defeated the Pacha of Scutari,
who had advanced with fresh troops, towards the end of Sep-
tember, and to have destroyed the greater part of his army.
Among the prisoners were 600 Latin Christians, whom 130%.
tar' sent to their homes, after reproaching them fur having
fought against their Christian brethren. May all the Christians
of the West appreciate this conduct. According to the latest
private letters from Macedonia and Thessaly, we learn that, a$
far as the Peloponnesus is concerned, the Greeks have nothig
n
more to fear. It is true that bags full of human ears, stated to
be those of slain Greeks, and for which the Pofte, accordirS tj
ancient custom, pays a certain sum, are sent from time to time
as trophies to Constantinople. But the Franks are no 100 P;
deceived by this, as it is a certain fact, that the 'rucks Cut
the ears of their own dead, which they deliver to the fora "
thus: of Christians.

THE THEATRES.

Dayaar-LANE.--The new Tragedy of Gales
Gracchus seems to be fully confirmed in public
' favour. It attracted a large audience last night,
and the Performers acquitted themselves so well
as to participate in the general approbation.
COVENT...GA DEN.—ConTEz and his Horses
still run successfully, and the Public continue to
visit Mexico with pleasure.
TOTTENII A Al-STR CEL—We last night visited
this Theatre for the first time since its recent
opening for the present season. It is again
under the conduct of Mr. BEVERLY, formerly of
Covent-Garden Theatre, an experienced actor,
and who appears to much greater advantage than
he did at that place, apparently because he had
then popular rivals, and was prevented from
having full scope to his powers. He has col-
lected a respectable company of performers, some
of whom would do credit to the Patent boards.
The first piece la,st night was the Tragedy
of Douglas. It was condensed into three acts,
but no part of the Play was omitted. The
character of Lady Randolph was represented by
.Mrs. BEVERLY, who also formerly held a situa-
tion at Covent-Garden Theatre. She is much
tnore en bun point than she was at that period.
Her performance was marked by judgment and
feeling. The part of Glenalvon was very well
supported by Mr. MortmtEtt ; and the tragedy
altogether was represented in such a manner as
strongly to interest the feelings of the audience.
ji young actor, named PERKINS, acquitted him-
self very ably in the part of Young Norval, and,
if he is not at present qualified to take the
kad It the Winter Theatres, there are few
that are likely to appear there with more suc-
cess in secondary characters. He is really a very
Promising young actor. His voice is powerful
and of good tone. His deportment was easy
and natural. He played with great feeling and
a ill" conception of the character. The Play
was very well received. The second piece was
The diverting farce of 7'he Bee-Hive, under the
'lame of Lots of Fun. Mr. BEvEnt.Er displayed
Amuch humour in Mingle, and sung two of
lATHEws's songs with such spirit that he was en-
coro. The rest of the characters were well sup-
Ported by Messrs. OSBORNE, Law Is, the younger
MrsEVERLEy, AT;
~t 99 SOUTH WELL, Mrs. W ATSON, and
J•SANTER. The concluding piece was Fran.

performers, all of whom
exerted themselves successfully. The catastrophe
;43 ingeniously altered. Clervil, the friend of
rinkenstein, contrives to assume the appear-
4ace of the Monster whom the latter had
the Presumption to create, and, after up-
Psrently committing all the horrors imputed
t.,0 him in the former piece, he throws oil'le disguise, and restores all the supposed
*iefints to life ; and the piece concludes with
general happiness. We have thought it an
!et of duty to notice this place, as we have sel-
aka seen a Minor Theatre equally well provided
,whith so many performers of real merit. This
Theatre, it seems, finds encouraging success in its
glensive neighbourhood.
