THE TBEATRE;

ITAYMARK ET.—MiSS PATON last night pet•
formed the part of Leonora, in the musical en-
tertainment of The Padlock. In addition to the
original music of the piece, one of the earliest
productions of the late Mr.th unpr,sheintroduced
The Soldier tir'd,and sung all her songs in such a
manner as foreign Syrens might hear with plea-
sure, if not envy. Miss LOVE was the Leander.
We have often protested against the aPpearance
of females- in male character, as the interest is de-
stroyed. Surely a male performer might be found
in this Theatre, of which the establishment is so
liberal. Mr. W. \Vur is apt to be a little too
extravagant, but altogether his Mungo was very
diverting. The second Piece was The Young
Quaker, in which II ARLEY appeared, for the
first time, in the part of .S'patterdash, which
rendered highly entertaining, and was well sup-
ported by the Clod of LISTON. FA !MEN, 51
Chronicle,
,V 1 NINO as Sad Boy, Miss encrrta
in Dinah, Mrs. Gtnns in Pink, and Miss Lovs
in ..4raminta, gave so much interest to the bib*,
as to gratify a numerous audience.

StncinE.—On 'charmltiy evening, Stephen
Strong, the prize-fighter, better known by the name of Cab-
bage, after, having spent nearly the whole 'day' in drinking,
went to St. Philip s.inarsh, Bristol, and threw himself into the
water. An alarm was immediately given, but too late to save
him, for when brought on shore the vital spark had fled. An in-
quest was held on Saturday evening on the body, when a verdict
of Lunacy was returned. It is stated, thatin consequence of a
true bill having been found against him at the last Bristol Ses-
sions, for being bribed to lose the battle with one Baylor, some
time ago, and the evidence of the fact having been given by
himself, had preyed so much on his mind, as to induce !din to
put a period to his existence.

SERIOUS AconENT.---Another of those 'alarm.
ing accidents which are so frequently occurring on the Thames
from inexperienced persons bathing, occurred on Sunday morn.
ing between the Red House and Battersea-bridge. About
eight o'clock three brothers, the youngest of whom appeared
about twelve years of age; had ventured into the water, nose of
whom could swim ; and the Diana Richmond steam packet
passing at the time, the eddy caused by the motion of the pad.
dies drew the youngest Out of his depth, and he thus met with a
watery grave. Before he, sank he was twice caught hold of by
one of his brothers, who had not sufficient strength to avert his
impending late„ but was compelled to let go his hold for the
preservation of his own life. The poor boy's father and mother,
whom we understand reside near the spot, were on the bank of
the, river, and their agonised feelings on beholding the son pe-
rish without the powerof rendering hin3 desistance May be more
easily imagined than described.

CUSTOM-HOUSE OFFICERS.
Ma. Eorrott—tt had been pretty generally
understood, that some time since, by a mutual
concession on the part of the British and French
Government, the persons of passengers were not
to be searched. On my landing
at Havre no
such search took place ; but the whole of the
passengers that landed from Dieppe at Brighton
had their pockets searched, and 'their persons
handled in a manner which aroused the indigna-
tion of every one present. Now what I should
like to know front any one of your Correspon-
dents competent to answer my queries, is simPlY
whether Custom-house Officers are legally autho-
rized to search the persott-of any individual
without being authorized so to tlo by a search

else we are bound to support them and to protect their autho.
rity and their character ; and it was with that view I moved
the Amendment, to prevent the character of Mr. Adam *being
hung up tiny longer. If my friend chooses to bring on the gene-
ral question at future time, and move for the production of
the Regulations, I shall have no sort of objection to go into the
question.
The original Resolutions were put and Negatived.
The ihnendmoit was then put and curried by a large

Daunt-LANE..---Miss L. PATox, who made so
successful an appearance in the character of
Letitia Hardy, on Thursday, performed that cha-
racter again last night, and experiened an
equally favourable reception. She is young, and,
displaying so much ability at her years, she is
likely to establish herself as one of the chief
public favourites in-the comic province.

The country is very, greatly hidebteo to Lord
John Russell for the valuable Report on the
condition of the labourers, to which we yes-
terday called the attention of oUr Readers. The
evidence before the Conanittee is, indeed, of a

day givo.a small portion of that, evidence, and
shall etufetuVour to iny the remainder before ott,i
readers with as little delay as possible. It is a
strange thing
,to say, and yet we believe we may
safely say it,--that the greatOit intrt of tike,popul
lalion this country, namely, the lohanitiwti of
towns, ha vtilgird ly an idea of the real condition of
nu: agricultu ..'Ptsoplepass'fronm,.towo

lent roads, delighted with the tine country-icatb
and parks in every direction, ready to ttxx!aint

every moment, "What blessings England derives
from the taste of her Country Gentlemen for a
country life !" never dreaming that the founda-
tion on which all this rests is rotten,—that these
Country Gentlemen, whose residence on their
estates they deem so great a blessing, have, by
their absurd and tyrannical proceedings as Ma-
gistrates, or by their selfish neglect, involved the
men whose labour has produced the state of things
they •so much admire, in the
,deepest misery and
degradation—Vice and crime, the constant com-
panions of. oppression, filled our gaols—yet the
system was allowed to strike its roots deeper
and deeper, as if the condition of the labourers
in the fields was an object hardly deserving of
a thought,—except in so far as they came in con-
tact with their dearly_ prized game. We would

fain hope, that as the magnitude of the evil has
at length drawn the attention of the public in
general to it, something will be done to save that
unfortunate portion of our population from the
gaph which they: are fast approaching. We are
glad to see that efforts are made. by he Clergy,
whose interests fortunately happen in this case to
.be the same with those, of the labourers. The
evidence given by same of them is highly credita-
ble, both to their.good sense and their humanity ;
and as they possess great influence, and will be
supported in this case by the most respectable
part of the public, we are inclined tathink their
exertions on liehalf of the labourers may not be
altogether fruitless. One thing is certain, that
the evil cannot remain stationary.; it will gain
additional strength if it do not receive a check.
Without hope of benefit, there• can be no volun-
tary labour, and there is but one remedy then,
the lash of the Slave driver.

PROLOGUE
To the New Comedy of Married and Single.
BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ.
The Drama that to-night your kindness claims
Approaches now with no ambitious aims,
No School fbr Scandal, and no Jealous Ifrift;
It merely chews what oft is seen in life,
And humbly follows in that light career
Which marks the comic sketches foster'd here.
A second Oa LEIVI perchance you'll find,
Not with the lordly grace and temper kind
T hat former Bards in friendly union drew,
Vain, airy, elegant, to Nature true,
And, though no more in fashion, ever new.
Like him, our ()WADY would young appear,
Reckless of grave rebula or popted sneer :
An ape of modern manners, with grimace,
Who thndly emulates the Dandy race.
Haply our 'Author may be found to trench,
Just en passant, upon a scene that's French,
But a mere hint lie takes, and moulds it so,
,"Tis English, English, Sirs, from top to toe."
To sooth, if such are here, all Critic foes,
One plea we'll mention, but no more disclose:
And hence we tell you to our Bard you owe
The faithful Simpson and his rambling Co.
Then, for their sakes, ye wits, let censure cease,
And the warm season melt you into peace.

I.* The Author of the Comedy did not apply for a Prologue
till Tuesday last, and was not then aware that as the LORD
CHANDEIMAIN is in Scotland, there was not time to procure
the indispensable sanction of his Lordship for the recitation.

FIRE AT CAIRO.

(From the Allgemtine
LEGHORN, MAY
, 5.--Letters from Cairo give
an account of tne fire Zeitu ng of May 16.)
which broke out in that
city on the 21st of
March, at two o'clock in the
afternoon, in the old citadel in the barrack
wad-
joining the arsenal where cartridges are made.—
lhpeia flames
spreadestoa;
ds
thera powder magazine. At
half-past three, some chests of powder blew up ;
pidly in various directions,
esi
at five there was a terrible explosion, which laid
all the surrounding buildings in ruins ; and just
eca
as it struck ten at night, a third explosion spread
the desolation further. On the following morn-
ing the fire seemed to abate, when consternation
was spread on its being known that the great ma-
r
gazine, containing 25,000 canters of powder, was
in danger, and the entire destruction of Cairo was
apprehended. The undaunted efforts of the
troops, however, succeeded in checking, and at
length subduing the flames. At the very begin-
ning of the conflagration, the people fled in
countless multitudes out of the city, one bad
consequence of which was, that it baffled all the
measures of precaution that have been adopted.
From the homely Gate eastwards to the Old
Citadel, nothing is to be seen but remnants of
walls, shattered beams, waggons, and gun car-
riages. Out of the new gate the ruins begin at
the-distance of 50 paces, and over a vast space
there are seen among the ruins 4,000 burnt or
lacerated horses, mules, and camels. A fine park
of artillery which stood in Joseph's Hall, and in
the Amphitheatre at the west end of the city, is
destroyed, except twenty-six pieces. The whole
arsenal, too, is annihilated, except a magazine of
tools, some chests of muskets, and the machine
for boring cannon. Of the little park of field ar-
tillery which stood in the homely-square, only
fifteen six-poUnders are saved. The new citadel,
in which are the Mint, the Hall for the Divan,
and several Government
offices, suffered but
little. The two powder.magazines, in two
towers, surrounded with ditches, were untouched.
It is calculated that fifty millions of Turkish
piastres will not suffice `to replaCe the citadel
and the arsenal in their former state. The let=
tern do not contain even a conjecture respecting
the origin of the fire.

HOW TO PRESERTE MILR.—The following re-
ceipt to preserve milk is given in a new weekly
Journal called Ilugie, or Journal de ,S'ante et

main sweet for several days, either in the open
air or in cellar, while other milk will change.'

BEER DUTIES,

Mr. CORE called the attention of the House and the Chan,
cellar of the Exchequer to a petition which be held in his hand
from Richard Sutton, Common-brewer, of Battle-bridge, setting
forth the disadvantages under which Brewers laboured, who,
while Publicans, retailed ale at tenpence a qbart sold it to them
at such a price that, it might be retailed for fivepence instead of
the sum now charged.
After a few words from l‘t r. MONCK,
The 411fANCNI.I.Olt of the EXCHEQUER said, without
entering into any part of the argument, it might be for the con-
venience of all parties that he should state to the House on this
occasion what the course was which he intended to pursue.--
Though he was satisfied that the principles on which it had
been proposed to arrange the duty was a sound one, and not
liable. to the numerous objections urged against it, yet from
respect. for the opinions of those who differed from him, when
the Bill got to a Committee, he should propose to exclude that
clause which went to make an alteration in the scale of duties.
The other part of the measure, that which related to the retail-
ing of beer, he thought it his duty to persist in, and intended to
retain it in the Bill.

Mr. MABERLY considered the Right Hon. Gentleman to
retain the most objectionable part of the Bill. The law for
allowing Brewers to retail their beer would ruin half the Li-
censed.Victuallers who now called for relief. Such a change
in the trade ought not to be made by legislative interference,
without giving the sufferers compensation. This he thought
they were bound to do, and when the Bill came before them,
he should be disposed to move that the further proceedings on it
should be postponed to that day six months.
Mr. MONCK thought it was not the Publican, but the
Brewer, who could not retail beer on his own premises, who
ought to complain.
Mr. Alderman BRYDGES offered a few words, after which
the petition was ordered to lie on the table.

BALLOON ASCENT.

Mr. GREEN, the Aeronaut, made a most grand
ascent on Tuesday from Leamington Spa, amidst
' a numerous assemblage of persons. At four
o'clock he took his seat in the car, and having
placed various philosophical apparatus in the car,
for the purpose of making experiments, he
gave the word for the ropes, which held it
to the ground, to be loosed. The coolness and
intrepidity with which the Aeronaut gave the
orders and took leave of his friends, drew ,
loud cheers from those assembled. The firing
of cannon announced this important moment,
and on the signal being given, Mr. Green,
standing in the car waving his flags, the balloon
rose nearly perpendicular into the air in the most
majestic
T
manner, amidst the deafening shouts of
populace.the The ascent was extremely lofty,
and the apprehensions which were so generally
entertained at first for the safety of the voyager
were soon allayed when the balloon wafted
through the vast expanse without any appearance
of danger. It appeared to take a direction
towards Oxford, and continued in sight for
above twenty minutes. The Ballot) passed on
its voyage through the various currents of
air, which changed its course repeatedly. At
its utmost height (nearly two miles and a half )
the air was very cold. Mr. Green had been half
an hour on his voyage, when he beheld the town
of Northampton ; having opened the valve, he
descended in a field belonging to -- Montgo-
mery, Esq. in the parish of Milton, 34 miles from
Leamington. Mr. Green returned in a post-
chaise to Leamington, and received the congratu.
lations of its inhabitants.

The object of this Institution has been to combine the advan-
tages of all the earlier establishments, to remedy their acknow-
ledged defects, and to give to the persons Assured that influence
in the general management, which their important interests de-
mand. In the Life department, greater advantages have been
secured to the public than have been offered by any other So-
ciety; four-fifths of the estimated profit will be added every
seventh year by way of Bonus to the Policies effected for the
whole Term of Life, and the remaining one-fifth will be trans-
ferred to the subscribed Capital, and preserved untouched, to
form a continually-increasing guarantee to the Assured.
The Holders of Policies effected for the whole Term of Life,
will have votes in common with the Proprietors at all general
meetings, and will possess the advantages of a Proprietor in every
other respect, excepting qualification for office, which is derived
from holding Shares in the Capital Stock of the Society.
In the Fire Department equal attention has been paid to the
interests of the Assured, and many important advantages are
held out for their consideration_; four-fifths of the profit will be
allowed to persons who have been Insured with the Society for
Seven Years, whether by Septennial or Annual Payments, and
the remaining one-fifth will be added to the Subscribed Capital,
as in the Department of Life Assurance. The SOciety has
commenced business at its Office, No. 10, Regent's Street, and
No. 76, Cheapside, where the Prospectus and rabies may be had

THE THEATRES.

Dflutor-Lass.—The Farce of The Liar, and
that of Modern Antiques, were last night repre-
sented at this Theatre. Mr. Er.rarroN was the
hero of the first, and DOWTON of the latter
Piece. Excellent as the acting of both was, a
great part of the attraction, no doubt, belonged
to CATALAN!, who sung two airs in the intervals
with great applause, and concluded with 41 Rule
Britannia," which she gave with such animation
as to excite an universal encore. She repeated it
with equal fervour, and Mr. &LISTON headed
the chorus.

COVENT.GARDEN.—The Benefit of Mr. T. P.
COOKE and Mr. CONNOR took place last night.
The first Piece was The Wes! Indian. Jamas'
Bekour had all his usual indefatigable spirit.
Cotorou not only possessed the boots of his ad.
mired predecessor, Mr. JOSINSTONE, but caught
a portion of his humour. EG ERTON, always re-
spectable, was fully so in Stockwell. The rest of
the charactersPiece
werean
Inproperly
w on
taken from the
Farce of Netley Abbey, in .which T. P. Cooxe
and CONNOR highly diverted the audience. The
first, by a naval story, and the latter, by a ha-
dicrous new version of t. Coots introduced a
hornpipe, CoNNoa an Irish jig, and were each
encored. The terrific Romance of Frankenstein
followed, and T.P. COOKE, in the manufactured
goblin, excited horrific feelings in the audience.
The part of Elizabeth was taken by Miss II EN RT,
instead of Miss LIKAUNONT, for whom an apology
was made on account of indisposition.
II ATM ARK LT.—Matrimony, Sweethearts and
Wives, and The Cock of the Walk, drew a nu-
merous audience to this Theatre last night, and
all went off with success.

ENGLISH OPERA IlousE.—The Barber of
Seville last night again brought forward the ta-
lents of Miss HA !IVEY in Rosina, and of PHILLIPS
in the Count. The Pantomime of The Monkey
Island followed. Little Buume gave his violin
concerto, and a ludicrous song in the character
of a Quack Doctor, in both of which he was de-
servedly applauded, but chiefly for the former.

Miss BEAUMONT has announced her intention to
take leave of the stage. The public will regret
to lose so pleasing au Actress. According to re-
port she is about to assume the character of a
wife, which, from the propriety of her conduct,
there can be no doubt she will support with ex-
etnplary merit.
Mr. YOUNG played Macbeth, and Mrs. Buxx
Lady Macbeth, at the Birmingham Theatre, on
Friday last,
Ma. BooTn.—Respecting the report of Mr.
BOOTH'S insuaity, a New York Paper of the ilth ult., We—
" It gives us real pleasure to say that we were deceived in our
information rescti the nature and cause of the calamity
which we were informed had befallen Mr. Booru. We have
seen the 'physician who was in attendance upon Mtn, and
are
assured that the attack with which be has been schied has been
solely occasioned by excessive watchfulness, and was of a tem-
porary nature, having been relieved by a night's sleep.,
was not the slightestground for the report respecting his do-
mestic loss. There
