THE THEATRES.

DitußY-LANE.—After the Tragedy of Vire.
rius, last night, the splendid Spectacle of The
Cataract of Me Ganges was repeated, and with so
ivell regulated an arrangement, that its general
effect is.more striking and impressive.
COVENT•GARDEN.—Miss PATON resumed her
station, and performed the part of Adriana, in
The Comedy of Errors. She was received with
great applause, of which her musical excellence
through the part occasioned frequent repetitions.
Miss Tltt t. abundantly shared in the general
favour, and the Comedy altogether was very well
received.

Tur.ATarc.kr, CORRESPONDENCE.—Ii 19 511 id
that letters have been addressed to the Ma-
nager of Drury-lane Theatre, by a certain Actor,
whose popularity one of the most unaccount-
able events in our theatrical history, of such au
extraordinary kind as perhaps never before were
addressed from an Actor to his Manager.—
We have not of course seen the letters in ques-
tion, hut according to report, they are by no
means characterized by the respect due to an
employer, in any class of life, and certainly show
that the writer does not under-rate his import-
ance as an actor, or in his private station ; but
us from all accounts it seems impossible to with.
hold these extraordinary Epistles from the public
eye, we shall take no further notice of the
su b ec t.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE MURDER OF
WrAur..—Last night the brother of the un-
fortunate Mr. NV emir, and several of his friends,
went down to Eistree to identify the body of the
above unfortunate gentleman, which they did
immediately on its being shewn to them. Th:s
morning his relations went to his chambers,
No. '2, in Lyon's Inn, where the unfortu-
nate man had lived upwards of five years,
and the keys that were left by him with the
laundress previous to his lenving London on Fri-
day afternoon, on the fatal journey, were deli-
vered up to him. Mr. WEARS was of rather ec-
centric habits, and whenever he went in
or out of the inn, always held his hand-
kerchief to his mouth. He was invariably
followed by a favourite pointer, and the key of
his chamber-door was a patent one, and always
kept fastened to his purse, in which situation
it was found in the field where he was shot.—
The Inquest is now sitting, and a vast number of
sporting gentry left London last night to be pre-
sent at the investigation.
