THE TULA 1 RES.

DIRISIT•LANIS.—Thare was as large an assem-
blage of persons attempting to procure admission
into this Theatre last. night, as we ever witnessed
on any similar occasion.—The opening of the
season, under the mantsgernent of so popular en
Actor as Mr. ELLISTON, and the combination of
talents. brought forward for the performances of the
night, may, however, well stetsons for this crowd-
lug anxiety. Two places, one at each extremity
of the Lobby, were opened for payment to tile
Boxes, and a very eager struggle prevailed et
insomuch that many were obliged to retire,
seeing no probability that they could tender their
money. At length the Theatre was full in all
parts, and many persons paraded in the
avenues, in hopes of getting places at the
end of the first act. As soon as the generni
butt among the audience began to subside.
God sore the King was sung by all the
Cootpsuy, I.‘RAHANI at the head of the musical
corps. Soon after, Rule Britannia was demanded,
and given nearly with the same number of Per-
formers. The audience displayed the warmest
testimonies of loyal and patriotic animation. Mill
KELLY then came torward and spoke an Occasional
Address (see our fourth page) with simplicity stint
impressive feeling. It was very well received.—
The Comedy of Wild Oats soon followed, Awl all
the Performers, as they respectively appeared, wet a
received with the warmest applause, particularly
ELLISToIt, DOWToN, NIVINIDER, KNIGHT, 111.•
KILLLY, and Mrs. WEST, Et LISTON', Rorer was
all animation and sensibility. All the Performeia
deserved the fervid walks of public favcnr which
they received. The part of John Dory was pt rtot met!
by Mr. TH•btliso?f, Mn Actor new to 'he London
Stage. He supported it with such good 'cost, and
spirit as promise tut for the Theatre. There
were one or two new Performers besides, but as
must wait toll their Gdynia hove krger scope. At
the end of the play PCNI..t 1' came tOrWird to all•
nounce the pertormances for the following night,
but the " Universal Suffrage" was iu favour of
F.LiAvroat, who then appeared, and deli% etcd
a brief address, expressive of his gratitude fur
past favours, and of his earnest ow entitling to
exert himself to the inmost to merit future pa-
tronage. lie was evidently strongly ;nrprcssed
by his feelings, and still more so by the cow,c-
picot acclamations of applause.—The Att.rpece
was Mr. Haute's divering Farce of Lock and
Kry, *hid, was so well boppurted by MoNDS'N,
thiILSY, ItllsittlL, T. Conxit, and Mis, KaILY,
that, at a very late hone, they sent their audicitico

from Cheltenham, that the regular Concerts there,
under Nir Ashes mana,zement, closed on Wtd.
ntsday last, with Mrs. Ashe's Benefit ; un
which occasion, the assemblage of Nobility anti
Gentry surpassed all precedent, the Great Room
being ei owded to excess. The Vocal D.l►artntent
was sustained by 'Nirs. Ashe, Irv!. second danditer,
and the so much-admired Demoiselles de Lihn ;
and the Principal Instrumentals were Mr.

Puzzi, on the Ft elicit Horn..—thir informant
(who was an auditor) adds, that the performance
throughout drew forth unbotinded applause from
the most distinguished and numerous audiwry ever
assembled in those elegant and capacious Rooms.
We understand, that Mr. and Mrs. Ashe, oith
their daughters, intend shortly giving a Concert
in Gloucester as they pass through on their• oay

KINGsToN,, (U. C.) JULY 15.—This Session of

proving this film country. The ttvo measures so
wisely recommended from the Throoe by Ilk Ex-
cellency have been acted upon, and bills on the
principle suggested, have passed both Houses,
find w;11 no doubt become lAws. '

The Road. Bill recognises the true principle of
taxation, viz. that the rich shall pay more than
the poor.
By the Assessment Bill all lands granted in fee
or on lease are dcclared rateable, so that all
sewers or persons living ont of the Province who
possess large tracts of land, and which are be-
coming' daily more valuable by the industry of
the resident land-owners avil cultivators, will np
he forced to contribute their share to the common
gym,.
Government is about contracting for the. sur-1
vey of six new town.hips containing about onej
hundred thousand acres each, in the Westerni
and London Districts, " bounded sonthetly by'
the River Thames, and the Townships of Orford,
Camden and Chatharn, and north-westerly by n
line extruding from the north-west angle of the
Shawanese Township."
JULY 2 7.—The NVeather his, for several days,
been uncommonly sultry. On Sunday, and yes-
'thisy we were visited by refreshing showers ac-
companied by some thunder, which greatly cooled
the air, and wio, no doubt, accelerate vegetation.
Favouraiale Accounts are daily received from every
part of the country. The farmer's prospects were
never better ; an abundant harvest is likely to be
the rewrild of his labours.
