HAYMARKET THEATRE.--,04 SatOrdaY the
Opera.
.originally styled The Spanish Barbee,
and which was one of the most popular dranias
at this Theatre in the time of the elder'Cootis,
was revived on Saturday last, but with ditferent
music, under the title of The Barber of
LISTON'S Figaro, and Miss PATO' N'S Rathid,
were the chief props of the piece, which, how-
ever, was altogether well received.—lt was
followed by Twelve Precisely, a dramatic
sketch which enables Mrs. CHATTEL:LEV to dis-
play her skill in the successful assumption of va-
rious characters. Mr. W. WEST supported the
part of an impudent servant with real comic
humour. The concluding piece was a new Farce,
entitled Spanish Bonds, or Wars in Wedlock.
This Theatre is so justly distinguished fur works
of genuine humour that we were rather surprised
to find this Farce of so flimly a nature. The
talents of LISTON, and of the rest of the Per-
formers, were exerted in vain. The audience, to
do them justice, listened with patience, but as
the piece proceeded with the same insipid and
hopeless tendency, it was at length consigned to
the vault of the CAPULETS, though not without
some resolute efforts to oppose the general senti-
ment of condemnation. _LISTON attempted to
announce it for repetition, but the clamour which
prevailed prevented him from being heard.—
The Theatre was numerously and brilliantly at.
tended.

DEATH' OF THE EARL OF CAITUNC3II.-Died at
his seat, Barrogill Castle, near Thurso, in the b7th year of his
age, the Right Hon. JAMES SINCLAIR, Earl of Caithness,
Lord Lieutenant of that County, and Post Master General for
Scotland. By his Lordship's premature decease, his family
and friends have sustained an irreparable loss; in every relative
duty, as a husband, as a parent, as a friend, -.wit master, his
virtues were eminently conspicuous; and it may with truth he.
said, that he never lost a friend, and never had an enemy. His
Lordship was for some time one of the representative, Peers of
Scotland, but retired in consequence of ill health. He had
been for ten years a martyr to severe and lingering illness,
which he bore with the utmost resignation and composure. He
is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son Alexander,
now Earl of Caithness, and has left other children. His Lord-
ship married Jane, daughter of the late Alexander Campbell.
Esq., of Barcaldine, who survives him. The present Earl
married in 1813, Frances, daughter of the late Dean of Here-
ford, by whom he has a son, James Lord Beniedale, born in I
1822.

Lord BAYNING, we are concerned to state,
died on Saturday at Winchester, Hants, of an inflammation
in the side.

Weunderstand, that notices, signed by several
of the most respectable inhabitants of the Town,' have been
served on the Resident Aldermen of the Borough, requiring
them to oblige the Non-resident Aldermen to reside within the
Borough, and, in case of their not complying therewith, to
amove them, and elect others in their stead, from among the
Burgesses resident within the Borough. The object of this
measure is, to restore the practice (which existed for centuries)
of chusing Aldermen to the limitations prescribed in the Char-
ter ; the principle of which was confirmed in the Court of
King's Bench, Jan. 25th, 1777, in the case of Rex v. Monday
(vide Comptes Reports), wherein' Lord Mansfield laid down
the dictum, that it was obligatory upon the Aldermen. to re-
side within the Borough, saying, " IVe all know that in some
Boroughs, residence Is a precedent qualification. In fifty
others it is not. Here, it is not a precedent coalitication for a
Burp;ess to be elected an Alderman. All the Charter requires
is, that after he is elected, he shall be resident. (Hampshire
Tekgraph.)
