The fact is, that his nephew, Hratig Ileatcfore (Mr. H(.ltV-

that his prospects may be injured should his utivlil marry,
intercepts • the numerous answers to his wife-seeking

does nog much relish this ploposal, as he can perillrm no
instrr.mont except the double bass. He however, at length
Nr.aplies.; and accompanied by Fa servant .Tames (Mr. P.

in the midst of a deluge of rain, to the house indicated..

teanin^.:ion of a stage-cot-eh journey. The pair arc a'co
apted in their harmonious work by the intrusion of Henry
Bearffirrt,Capt.O'Grady,Miss Harvard, and Missifordaunt,
who, disguised as itinerant musicians, kick up a horrible dis-
cord. . To complete the misery of Dibbs, when he places
himself beneath the window of hia supposed fhir one.
he is assailed with the contents of a large water jug.
The effect of his adventure is a Ttvne touch of the rheu-
matic gout. While he is laid up Miss Howar.l again visits
him as the " handmaiden," exr eer:es her mistress's deep
sor-
row at the disaster of the pre, eding right, and informs him
that his duleinep. will meet him that evening near the
tunnel in the Zoological gardens ; but in order that she
may not cod and him ~%ith any other person. she requests
him to wear certain arth:les of dress which she has sent to
him. Dies is astoni.J.ed, when lie opens the parcel, to find
it contain a pair of :taring red plush inexpressibles, and a
cap of most extraordinary conformation, adorned with
ribands. Hedemursat appearing in a place of public re-
sort attiredin so grotesque a style. At length, however,
after wrious cogitation, he determines to comply, and pro-
mr::hades to the garden in the prescribed costume, to the
utter astonishment or the company, male and female. One
of the ladies happens to stare at Dibbs with looks of more
than Ordinary euriosi'-,, mid believing that she is the fair

nately stopped in his career 1-,y two peace officers, who seize
him and convey him to the station-hotu„e, suspecting him to
be a felon, who had recently broken gaol. While he is in
duranezt vile, his nephew visits him, and he is also visited by
Captain O'Grady, who intrcluces an apparently purblind,
lame, and humpbacked ()hi woman as his cousin, declares
that she is the lady who 'is -so-desperately enamoured of
npon h
highs; and is marrying her or fighting

offers to settle 2,0001. per annum on his nephew, pro-

rist.A uncle, not a deformed beldtune, but the blooming
ilt_isslioward, who, (luring the parley, had got rid of her
disguise, and he is now received with grace and favour by
the eccentric Dibbs, who joins in the laugh at the trick that.
has been played upon him. Captain O'Grady and his tur-
tle are also, scion les regle.c, made happy as the phrase is.
The materials of the bueletta are, it will appear sight, but
they are most pleasantly wrought up. A rich vein of
broad humour, which does not flag for a moment; pervades
the piece, and excites, in ever!, scene, the most boisterous
merriment. The serenade scene is irresistibly droll, and
that in which Dibbs is astounded at the scarlet present of
his mistress excited shouts of laughter. The characters
were generally well upported. Liston's personation of the •
ihtuithus Di. 61),; was irresistibly comic. He seemed to
like the part, and lie played it in his most humorous man-
ner. Madame \'estris Was quite at borne in the character
of Miss Howard. Whether she appeared as the sprightly,
;,;icy- young hotly, the enavenient handmai(h cr the de-
formed on_ shrew, she suited herself to the change with
the utmost facility. She sang three very pretty airs--
two of which " The Poor Blind Boy," and " Beauty aid
Time," were encored. The part of James was extremely
well supported by F. Matthews. lie delivered his stage-
coach'slang with point and erect. The piece was an-
nounced for repetition amidst the tumultuous applause of a
very crowded house.

THE LIMERICK INVITATION TO MR. S. RICE.
The follooing is the teply of M. Sp, log dice, declining
a public dinner in Limerick
Mount ...lola:hare, Oct.
"My dear. Sir,—l acquainted you *.y my note of this morn-
ing how very desirous I felt to ace...pt, if it were practic.tble,
the flattering invitation to a pe'Ail dinner with which ycu
honout ed me. I had written ..o London to 1,.n0w w hither it
were possible that the term of my absence could have been
prolonged; but I regret to say that, by letters this moment
received,' I find that my official attendance in the Court of Ex-
chequer, on Monday, the 9th of Novendier, necessary by
invariible custom. Th-s makes it wholly impra.oi. able that
I should profit by your kind hospitality--a circumstance which
deeply disairpoints me, as I can with truth assure )ou tlott
nothing would have been more gratifying than a renewal of
intercourse with those personal and those lolitical frieoils
between whom and myself the feelings of cordiality and re-
gard.have been at all times uninterrupted.
" Grateful as I have felt on former occasions for similar at-
tentiuns; I cannot but appreciate those attentions still more
strongly. on the .present occasion. Connected as I now have
the honour of being with another and a most valued consti-
tuency, the favour which you ami those fo: whom you act seek
to confer on me, can only unginate in private regard, or an
approval of my public conduct. In either case the obligation
is great, and it will be the effort of my future life to prove that
it is not wholly undeserved.
" To the people of Limerick I owe my first introduction
into political life. For them I fought a long anti protracted
contest ; l fought it without forgetting the courtesy due to
those to spoon it was my fortune to be opposed, but without
abandoning my duties to thy freinds and supporters. I suc-
ceeded—and if my exertions, as Member fur Limerick, con-
tributed (as you are so kind as to suggest) to promote the im-
provement of my waive city, it cannot be but inu.t satisfactory
to revert to doe-, years of our c atnextun. During those
eventful years Catholic Emancipation, the repeal of the Test
and Corporation Acts, and Parliamentary Reform, were dis-
cussed and carried. Daring the present year the improve•
ment of the English Municipal Corporations has been effected.
The honourable political connexion to which I belong may
claim the merit of these measures of
,lust and necessary policy.
As a private and very humble Member of Parliament, my ex-
ertions were not wanting.
" Whether in Opposition, or as a Minister of the Crown, I
shall endeavour to promote the cause of national improvenv nt,
adhering to the principles of our mixed moleirehical con' iitu-
tion, and relying on the powers inherent hi the constitr,Aoa it-
sell for the-attainment of useful and practical reforms.
" In the performance of my duty to my excellent and inde-
pendent constituents, to the country at large, and to the gra-
cious sovereign whom 1 have the
canhonourattoiostelsrvue,hileic assto to
nu that I shall never forget the oblib
you, my dear Sir, and to those whose kindness to me your letter
proves is still unabated.
Pray express my acknowledgments and regret to are oom-
mitrce 01 whose behalf you have written, and bel'..ve we my
dear Sir, your obliged and faithful friend and yam.
". To W. Roche, Esq., M.P." T. SrrtlNG RICE.
