evenings sailed on Monday, the sth instant, and

THE THaATIu The Virgin of the Sun,
a new Farce was -brought forward at
.Covent-
garden Theatre last n;ght, under the title of
Schniederkins. The fable consists of the attempts
of two sharpers to avail: themselves of the ab-
sence. of a naval Captain, in order to compel
his wife, whom they suspect to be his mistress,
to marry a person who does not appear on the
ttage, and who is, to reward them well for their
villany. The Captain, however, returns just in
time to rescue his wife, and‘to punish them for
their attempt. But the chief purpose of the
to • h" Piece, is obviously farms scope for the versa-
tile powers of 3.,TATnEws, whO shifts into various
characters, of .various countries, and ;supports
them tilLwith Ilia usual-spirit. There is.also alu-
dice-..us character for Li stow, sufficient to call forth
humour:. The Piece is whimsical,
hut it has nO'strong interest. It is written byMr:
I'. DIE,THY, 4!lci the. dialogue-is marked by liveli-
ness, and tome ingeniouS &pirogue. Thaarce raet
with opposition, hut not of so.strong.a nature as to
preclude a repetition. Wefelt much regret in seeing
Miss CooxE, who was so interesting a representa-
tive of, Dr3donorta,' and who in spelt characters
-Is-.en4irtledito public
_admiration, degraded into a
trifling character on this occasion.. This shews
an egregious want of policy in the management
.of talents that might do honour to the stage, if
properly brou'ght„trward and encouraged.
Dreaming and Fancy Numbers.—The Nobility
and Gentry who. have bespoke Tickets and Shares
.of Numbers which they haste chose from Lucky
Dreams; or from some particular fancy, may now.
have them .by applying at the Lottery Offices
where they bespoke them, and 'the. application
.cannot be made too early, as the Whole of this
popular.little Lottery will be drawn on Tuesday
next, 20th inst. .. .

It is astonishing to observe how near to profa-
nation despotic power devotes religiou and religi-
ous institutions Buonaparte, who has been by
turns an infidel, Mussulman, and Catholic, ap-
pears perhaps not so detestable in any of his
assumptions as in the last, when he orders the
name of the Almighty to be insulted with Te-
Deums for his horrible butcheries at Moscow..
A remount for the sth Dragoon Guards and
other. heavy cavalry regiments in Spain, is ordered
to march from Canterbury to Yorssmouth without
delay.
