THE THEATREi.

DIWItY•LA NE. The Comedy, as it is by
courtesy stiled, of She Stoops to Conquer, but
which hi reality may rather be considered as an
extended Farce, was represented last night at
this Theatre. But, however it may he classed as
a drama, it is evidently the production of a man
of genius and humour, as all who know the works
of GOLDSMITH will readily admit. F.4.l.trroN's
Young Marlow, in the bashful parts, was very well
supported, but he suffered the same sort of con-
straint to steal upon him during the times
when he was to appear as the " affreetde Rattle."
It must, however, be difficult to combine
and vary the two characters. His expres-
sions of attachment to Miss Hardcastle under
the assumption of the Bar-maid were given with
great feeling and an impressive sense of honour.
Old Hardcastle was very amusing in the hands
of Do WTON. LISTON made his first ap-
pearance for the season in Tony Lump kin. He
was of course warmly greeted on his entrance,
and he gave the most diverting representa-
tion of the rustic wag that has been seen
since the days of the admirable Original, QUICK.
Mrs. HA RLOWE is very wisely sliding into
the province of antiquated females, and her
Mrs. ilardeastls is good proof of her success.
There was no prominent merit in the rest of
the performances. The house..was very well
attended . •

IRELAND.—(StaIe of the Country.)—Still tu-
multuous and outrageous in the South ; commit-
ting nightly depredations on their unprotected
neighbours; but in this country the people are tran-
quil as we could wish, and disposed to industry
if there were any means of employing them. We
hope that something may be done to set the lower
orders at work during the winter or spring, or our
gentry shall be obliged to raise minima support.
ing them in idleness. If there could be a fund
raised by penny-a-week Societies, for this purpose,
it might save the Police a great deal of trouble
during the long nights. It will be acknowledged
on every side, that it is much better to prevent
the evil than to punish it. The true way to avoid
the growing discontent, and the consequences
that may result from it, is to stop up the spring at
its source ; it may then divide itself into mur-
muring streams, but can never break forth in a
torreut.—(Carluto Morning Post.)

Yesterday the Duke of Yon held a Levee as
Commander-in-Chief, at his Office in the Horse

POLAR EXPEDITION.—WC understand it is in
the contemplation of the Admiralty to commission the Disco.
very Ships for another voyage to the Polar Seas, with this dif.
ference, that their route is now to be by Behring's Straits,
whence they will sail eastward. The distance which must be
traversed before they Ctka -well be said to commence proceeding
to the object of their mission, and the consequent difficulty of
reserving the necessary supplies, has hitherto been the obstacle
to the attempt by this passage. This latter impediment it is
now 'proposed 4) obviate, by sending a supernumerary vessel
landen with necessaries, which will probably accompany then,
to the neighbourhood of the littnitschatka coast. Capt. PARRY
is again to take the commund.—( Morning Chroahle.)

Mr. CANNING'S happy allusion to the state of
our Navy, in his eloquent address at the Guildhall, on Wed-
nesday last (29th ult.) has this week, upon a small scale, been
exemplified. On this day se'nnight orders were received at our
Dock-yard for the immediate equipment of two line-of-battle
ships, the Genoa and Superb, of 74 guns each, upon the full
war establishment. Both these ships were brough down the
harbour to the yard, and an engagement commenced upon them
with such John Bull-like adroitness by the mechanics belong-
' ing to that establishment, that by the following Tuesday the
Superb was in " fighting order," and ready to unfurl her sails
for sea. During
this short period she had, to use Mr. Can-
fling's metaphor, "assumed the likeness of an animated thing—
instinct with life and motion—ruffling, as it were, her swelling
plumage—putting forth all her beauty and her bravery—col-
lected all her scattered elements of strength—and roused her
dormant thunder !" With the Genoa We are sorry to hear the
men were not so fortunate., she havisig been found defective.
Another ship will, it is said, be equipped in her stead ; and
this beautiful " one of the many, like some noble predeces-
sor, in all probability, be destrqed the cure to dry rot. The
small armament fitting out here and at Portsmouth are destined
ultimately to the West Indies, first proceeding to Cork to take
in troops.—(Plymouth Gazette.)

The SPEAKER of the House of Commons has
