THE THEATRES:

TARTAR

. -
DELTRY-LANE.-The talents of MISS' WA LSTEIN,
which enable her to. appear.with success in both
Tragedy and Comedy, but more particularly
the latter, lase night had abundant .scope for
their display iu each province of the drama,
as the part which she assumed was Lady Townie!),
in the admirable Comedy of The Provoked Hus-
band. It may lit easily conceived, from her
. merit in other comic characters of fasltionable
life, that in the earlier scenes of: Lady Tuumley,
she exhibited all requisite spirit ,and, gaiety. Nor
Was the mortification, disappointment, and ddec-
than of the concluding scene, rendered less effec-
tive. On the.whole, she .appeated to more a&
vantage in this character than in any of the fur
mer, because she had an opportunity of mani.
festing a diversity of powers,. which afforded
amusement and pathos. Lord Townley .is one
of POPE'S best efforts. Lady . Grace has sel-
dom had a more interesting representative than
Mrs. ORGER. Miss KELLY,_ for the first time,
performed the part of ;Via Jenny, and with the
same sprightly humour as generaily marks her
performances. It hardly need be added, that Sir
Francis Wronghea4 had an able supporter in DOw-
TON.—A good house. .

COVENT-GARDEN. —The chief .attraction last
night at this theatre was the return of MATHEWS,
in the farce of Killing no Murder. As soon a 5 the
voice of this popular Actor was heard behind the
scenes, a general shout of
,applause.hurst forth,
Which was increased and reiterated when he ap-
peared upon the stage. The farce, as usual,-ope-
rated powerfully upon the risible muscl.es of the
audience, as it was supported by the whimsical
efforts of MATHEWS and LISTON. The meeting
between these Actors, who both '' limped in pure
love," their cordial greetings, and mutual refer-
ence to their situation as they " halted by" each
°diet', had a ludicrous effect, and excited much
laughter. There was a very numerous audience..

MYSTERIOUS CASE.
DIM:NI A PARIS PAPER OF THE 3IST JANUARY.]

The Council of War of the Ist Military. Division
of Paris are now sitting in jodgment, employed
in the investigation of • a mysterious affair, in
which an Officer of some rank, and heir
presumptive to considerable -property, stands
charged with the murder of a female, and for
which no motive can asyet be assigned. In defence,
it is alleged that the woman had decoyed him-into
an hotel, where he was attacked by two ruffians,
robbed of his watch and money, and would have
been murdered by them, did not the girl inter-
fere personally, and in effecting the rescue of the
Officer, received her death at the hands of his as,-•
sailants. The affair is regarded as one of great
mystery, and no fewer than 34 witnesses are sum-
moned for examination to-morrow.

It is remarked at Vienna, that Prince EUGENE
has become of late a constant .attendant of the.
Court. •

. Mr. WELLESLEY POLE gave.a grand entertain-
ment this day, in Saville-row, to his Royal High-
ness the Duke of YORK, the Dnke of MoNTRosE,
Earl of LiViiRPOOL, Earl BATHURST,aII(I the other
Cabinet Ministers.

Mr. BARTLEMAN'S engagement at the Oratorios
continues only till the Ancient and Vocal Concerts
commence, and is the last public appearance of
this inimitable Vocalist.

. _
C6lllMEltCl).—Havre de Grace, Jan-. 26.—As had
been foreseen, it was impossible that many Areas
should pass without our manufacturers being
obliged to replace their stocks of the raw com-
modity. Never was our machinery in so much
activity, and never was the demand for its pro-
duce so considerable. It is utterly impossible to
supply the quantity required. Scarcely a.single
piece is in reserve, and it may be asserted with
truth, that our manufactures will so:m attain the
highest degree of prosperity. We have only here
unused 1800 bags of Brazil, and 450 bags of ,
Georgia cotton.

CITY INTELLIGENCE EXTRAORDINARi.-A.Mer-
chant of some consideration returning to town,
the other morning, at rather an unseasonable-hour,
detected an illicit commerce carrying on between his
active and sleeping partners. The consequence was
as might be expected,--a determination on the
part of the husband to seek a divorce on the one
hand, and a dissolution of partnership on the
other.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—Some
few weeks back a dreadful outrage was committed
upon a Gentleman of the name of DEACON, in the
Shepherd and Shepherdess Fields, the particulars
of which we inserted in our Paper at the
Mr. DEAcoN, having recovered strength sufficient
to go to his N% arehouse in Wading-street, from his
lodgings, packed up a small parcel of silks last
Tuesday evening, and informed his clerk he was
going to show them to a customer, from which
time he has neither been seeN nor heard of, not-
withstanding the most diligent inquiries.- There
are many circumstances connected with this strange
affair with which we are acquainted, but from their
mysterious complexion, we decline at present
making public.. This -Much it is but justice to
state, that Mr. DEACON = is a Gentleman highly re-,
spected ; that the present appearance of his affairs
do nut lead to a conclusion of embarrassment.; and
that; upon -inspecting, his apartments, there was
not any thing to indicate but what he meant to
return the same night. What is rather remairk-
able, an anonymous letter waslound in his room-,
threatening that the party who began their work,
in the Shepherd and
.Shepherdess fields were de-
termined to make it wore sure when. ..they next
laid hold on him.
