THE THEATRES.

DRURY.LANE.—Love in a Village was again
represented last night. We have nothing to add
to our former report. TERRY is by no means so
successful in Justice Woodcock as he is in most of
the characters which he performs. Mrs. WA Y..
L ETT, well known in Provincial and the Minor
Theatres of the metropolis, was Madge. She is
a lively and, agreeable actress, and she gave a na-
tural air to the part. Mrs. 13cnvoun was again
favourably received in Rosetta, and her husband
still more so in Hawthorn.

I 1 AY MAR K ET.—The Comedy of The Hypocrite,
supported by DOWTO N'S admirable Cantwell,
LisTon's-Mawreorm, and Miss K MAY'S Char-
lotte, attracted last night a very numerous audi-
ence. This Play, we nave no doubt, has been
useful in exposing cant, hypocrisy, and fanatical
delusion, and its tendency is not only strongly
promoted by the exposure of Cantwell, but by
the idiot enthusiasm of Mawworm. 141sTos's
ludicrous anathema from his skreen pulpit, as
usual, was repeated last night.—The Marriage
of Figaro followed. Miss G EOR GE, as before,
acquitted herself very ably in Susanna, and in-
troduced the popular song of " Bid me discourse,"
in which she was deservedly encored. Miss
KELLY'S Page was admirable.

COURT OP CIIANCEItY.--NATASCH V. TRYING
and others, President and Directors of the. Alli-
ance British and Foreign Life and Fire Assur-
ance Company.—ln this cause his Lordship
granted an injunction to restrain the Presidents
and Directors of the Alliance Company from ef-
fecting Marine Insurances, on the ground that
the Directors had no right, as against the
plaintiff, to employ the pisetuership funds to
carry on that branch of business; but the CUAN-
CELLOR said there was nothing to prevent those
members who chose it from forming a new part-
nership of Marine Insurance.—We understand
that a new Company, for this purpose, is imme-
diately about to be formed by Mr. ROTUSCHILD
and his friends.

This being the anniversary of the .Gunpowder
Plot, was observed as a collar-day at St. James's ;
the royal standard was hoisted on the Tower,
and the Park and Tower guns were fired at one
o'clock.

Lord BEttEsFonn has arrived at Southampton,
from Scotland, and taken a house, fur the re-
covery of his health, by the advice of his
Physician.

The Dorset County Chronicle has headed its
account of the trial of Mr. FAUNTLEROY with a
wood-cut profile of the unfortunate man, which no
doubt will give an added zest to the curiosity
of its Readers, whether or not it bears any simi-
litude.

Died on Saturday evening, after a protracted
illness, the Rev. C. It. MAT unix, M.A., Citrate of St. Peter's,
Dublin. In him the poor have lost a kind friend ; our religion
a firm supporter; and literature one of its brightest ornaments.
As a preacher, Mr. Maturin was highly esteemed ; Ids sermons
were masterly compositions ; his reasoning incontrovertible
and his language the most calculated to subdue the heart, and
to demand attention. Ilis six Controversial Sermons, preached
during last Lent, have been lately printed, and are now before
the public. They 'show the author to he a profound scholar
and an acute reasoner; never, since Dean Kirwan's time,
were such crowds attracted to the parish church, as duritur
the delivery of ilisse sermons; neither rain or storm could
subdue. the anxiety of all classes and all persuasions to hear
then u; and did he leave no other monuntent whereon to rest
his fame, these sermons alone would be sufficient. lint ..11r.
Maturin's genius was as expanded as his learning was dv,l)
anti various; his Novels and Plays, if they cannot br.ritnked
amongst the higher productions of this kind, evince wonderful
power of imagination, while the beauty of his language stands
unrivalled; indeed, we have seen it observed by some of the
Reviewers, that there was no writer of the present day who
had a greater range of thought, or greater command of lan-
guage, than this Reverend Gentleman.—(Dubli Corresponikist,
Nov. 2.)
Yesterday the Annual Sermon was preached
at the parish church of St. Margaret, Westminster, according
to the will of Mrs. Joan Barnett, commonly called the "oat-
meal woman." Site left to 20 poor widows of that parish 40s.

The Gothic front from Palace-yard, 'West-

THAMES TUNNEL—The houses which now
cover the intended site of the shaft, near Itotherbithe Church,
are taking down, and the ground is clearing, preparatory to the
excavation, which is to be commenced from the Surrey side of
the River.

CAUTION.—A young man well-dressed, called
at the house of Mrs. Torus, Charlotte-street, Rathbone-place,
on Wednesday evening, stating, that he had left Mr. T. (who
is at Brighton) that morning, and that he was about to return
to Brighton the next day, and had'a message to deliver to Miss
Toplis. Miss 'P. was out, no doubt well known to the thief,who
asked permission to write a note. He was shown into a parlour,
and pen and ink having been provided, the servant left him,
in about 5 minutes the fellow rang the bell, and met the ser-
vant at the door with a note addressed to Miss Toplis, and he
was let out, stating that he would call again in the morning.—
No suspicion occurred until Miss Toplis returned, when it
was ascertained that the lock of an escrutoire had been picked,
and a watch, three sovereigns, and some silver, together with
various trinkets, had been stolen. He has played the same
trick successfully at other places.
PRODUCTIVE MILK Cow.--A gentleman at
Settle, in Craven, has now in his possession a cow
of the short-horned breed, which calved about
ten weeks ago, has since that time produced up-
wards of 151bs. of butter weekly, of the weight
of 21oz. per pound. Last noit the weekly pro-
duce of her butter averaged about 141bs. of the
same weight,
