THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.—It has been ar-
ranged that the procession shall pass in the forenoon from
Guildhall to Sun-street, and through Bishopsgate (the
Ward represented by the New Mayor), to Fresh Wharf,
by the Custom-house, where the company will take water.
Considerable damage has been sustained at Down-
ham Market and the vicinity by the gale on Sunday night
last, and several barges (coal-laden) were sunk at Denvor
Sluice by the violence of the storm.
Extract of a letter dated Port St. Mary, Oct. 16.
" We have all been mistaken in our estimate of the influence
of the friars over the multitude ; every one expected no-
thing short of a popular commotion as the consequence of
meddling with them, whereas the very reverse has taken
place. Not a voice was raised in their favour in Seville ;
the difficulty of th6' Government was to prevent the mob
irom_niunaerifigi the conit4ies; therefore the friars2,—. left

A drama in one act, called a comedietta, and bearing
title of Forgive and Forget, was played for the first time
au Saturday night. It is taken from a French piece played
repeatedly here 1.); the French company last seaso
mn,me de and
which was called, if we recollect rightly, La Fe
L'Avold,,. Mr. and Mrs. Harcourt (Mr. Warde and Mrs.
Yates) have occasional quarrels, principally arising out of
the husband's suspicious and irritable temper. Mr. and
Mrs. Pelhanz (Mr. Cooper and Miss Tree) quarrel also,
but hardly knew why. The differences between theerm lattene
r
have, however, risen to such a height, that they
deti
on a separation ; in order to effect which, they everally
repair to Mr. Harcourt for advice, he being a lawyec. In
Mrs. Pelham, Mrs. llarcourt finds an old school-fei.low,
and in M. Harcourt an old lover. While the Harem*
Are very amiably endeavouring to bring about a reconcilia-
tion between their friends, they fall into a quarrel of their
own, and do more by their example than they could have
effected by their counsels to convince their friends how very
foolish such squabbles are. Thus the moral of the comedy
is hammered out—namely, that to " forget and forgive" is
the best cure for matrimonial differences. These materials
being hardly sufficient to furnish even as many scenes as
were requisite for one act, the author has introduced the
characters of a silly old uncle of Mrs. Pelham (Mr. Bart-
ley), and a barrister's clerk (Mr. Meadows), who platays they
e
double part of clerk and footman, but, excepting hay the
eke out the length of the pied, they can hardly be said to
render it much assistance. The actors did their best, and
the piece was favourably received.

Baife's opera of The Siege of Rochelle will be repeated.
The triumphant success of this opera will, it is supposed,

all probability, its attraction will increase rather than de-
eflifte,owinn- to the many fashionables at present absent who

MY AUNT PONTYPOOL.--It having toeciß ithrroured
that the name which gives title to this work has referenee to
a lady who is as conspicuous for her station as for her virtues
and liberality; we are authorised to state, that the character
of Lady Pontypool has no such reference.
John Kemble's correct and graceful delineation of
Hamlet added considerably to his sicserved fame as an actor.
His closet scene with his mother was considered by even
those who saw Garrick and Henderson in the character as
a masterly performance, and the whole personation of the
part as not surpassed. In a conversation
eelbtween Mr.
Sheridan and John Kemble on the subject, th atter asked
Mr. S. how he thought more effect could be given to the
performance ? " I know not, John," said Mr. Sheridan,
" unless soft music was to be played during your pauses."
Those who remember the acting of Mr. Kemble must re-
collect that in his latter years ills pauses were very tedious,
being unnecesiarily long.
MEATH MEETING.—III relation to the proceed-
ings of this meeting, which was reported in The Sun of Sa-
turday, the Freeman's Journal says—lt
of was, in every
sense, a great meeting—great in point numbers, and
great in respect of the rank of
sentiments w the Chairmerean anduttered
the
speakers. Liberal and patriotic
by men of high rank and large fortune, and all ended in
harmony and peace. From this the faction and their pup-
pets will learn the folly of opposing their pigmy arm to pub-
lic opinion ; their efforts but prove their r ins utter insign
aificacountynce
and total Weakness. The country sees,
too, that
can be convened, and can express its oons, in contempt
and defiance of a factious Sheriff. The absence of the
High Sheriff merely showed that he was opposed to liberal
principles and to a good Government—whilst the nobility
and gentry. el Meath, as well as the freeholders, are of the
