THE THEATRE.

COVENT GARDEN.—Mrs.. Dopt4s made her se-
cond appearance last night at this Theatre, in the
part of Lady Teazle. • She was.more easy,- but has
not yet acquired the true tact of higher Comedy.
However, her person and talents entitle her to a
respectable situation.
.YOUNG resumed the part
of Joseph Surface,, in which the veteran BARRY-
MORE -received such unworthy treatment. We
thought YOUNG was somewhat too uniformly so-
lemn in the part; It requires a mixture of artifice.
discernable by the audience, and of hypocrisy to im-
pose on the rest of the characters. C.KENIBLE was
very anion in Charles. It is to be regretted that
the author did not give this character some touch
of feeling, and reflection, in the scene where his
Brother is disgraced, his Guardian apparentlydis-
honoured, and Lady Teazle sunk in shame and
Contrition; As 'it is, Charles is made to exhibit
all untningled gaiety injurious to his character for
moral sensibility, and his representative, 'conse-
quently, on this occasion, appears to be detective
in proper feeling, and even in decorum. Paw-
curl-, grafting his own conception (von- the ad-
mirable stock of KING; rendered Sir Peter correct,
Ittnnorous, and original. TERRY was highly re-
spectable iu Sir Olirer. A good house.

AsTLEY's.—The Royal Amphitheatre closed a
brilliant and successful campaign last night, on
which occasion Mr. VILLIERS came forward,' and
addressed the audience in the following words :
•‘ Ladies and Gentlemen—l am directed by the Mangers
to return you their most grateful iteki.owledg-inents for the:
very flattering and lihered patronage they have experienced
this season—a patronage so distingaisked, as to render it to-
tally impossible for me to find words sufficient to express their
feelings of gratitude. Suffice it td say, that neither exertion,
pains, nor expense will be spared, during the winter, to se-
lect and prepatc such Entertainments and Performers for the
next season as to deserve a continuation of your kind and ge-
nerous support.

" Fur niiself, and the performers in general, permit me to
return you our sincere and humble t tut for the indulgences
we bare received through our profes,ional exertions, which
will excite us to become still more deserving of your favours.
With this impression •w•e most respectfully take our leave for
this season." -

Th'E adinirers of real theatrical merit will hear
with pleasure that Mrs. C. KEMBLE has been re-
engaged at Covent-Garden 'Theatre. We shall
now see Beatrice; .Estifanig, Airs. Oakley, Lady
Restlesi, the Widow Bebnour, and °thyr characters
in the range of sprightly Comedy, supported with
due animation.

LtsToN has had a furlough given him by the
Managers of Covent-Garden, and is now playing
his favourite list of characters at Liverpool.
A -Meeting of the Proprietors of Drury-Lane
Theatre took place at the Crown and Anchor
Tavern yesterday, whe❑ the annual statement of
accounts, &c. was laid before them by the Hon.
D. KINNAIRD. 'lbis report,,and the proceedings
thereupon, arc much too voluminous for our pub-
lication to-clay.

A Morning Paper states, that MURAT. greatly
favoured the trade with England. We are autho-
rised to state (says another Morning Paper,) on
the ttuthority of a most respectable merchant, that
this postilion iiing acted very differently %%rhea he
thol;glft he had the whip•hand of us.- He granted
a certain number of licences for English ships to
trade with Naples ; and the moment the said skips
were in his power, he confiscated the property
under some frivolous pretence or other.. The
merchant in question was himself a sufferer iiy
this treacherous mode of proceeding.
There was nothing.doing on the Coal Exchange
yesterday : not a single ship at market, or allowed
to 'sail from Newcastle, according to the accounts
from thence on the 10th

The Duke of NonFor.tc left town yesterday
morning for Staines, where be was to fleet Dr.
BAIU,IE, whom his Grace consulted on Saturday
last, on his way to town.

The proper title of the Lady Ivhote death we
yesterday announced under the title of Lady
MALPAS, was Countess of ROCKSAVAGE. She
died of a decline. Her Ladyship 'was of most
amiable •inanners and disposition, and her loss
will, with true sincerity, be ever felt and regretted
I.ly her affectionate family and friends, to whom
she was so justly dear.
Tuesday last, a man of the name of Holdin, un-
dertook at"ltinbridge-Wells, to walk against
time, 50 miles in twelve hours, without any
nourishment. He perfortned.his task' in eleven
hours and .a half, without the least signs of fa-
tigue. The'principal remuneration he received
was from a collection madr on the ground, which
was very considerable. The same person, about
three seasons ago, enga,gtd to walk and run 20
miles round the race course, (a distance of a mile
and a quarter), in four hours, for a trifling snot ;
this he also completed with the same casein three
hours and a half.

Durbig-the night of Thursday, the shops and
warehouses of Mr. Davis, tailor, 74, Sr. James's-
street, were ethered by means of picklock keys,
and the robbers succeeded in stripping the pre-
mises of 'all the goods that were to be found, and
they escaped without being heard, or leaving the
least cble by which they might be traced.
