TII E TIIEATRES.

DRURY LANE THEATRE re-opened last night
with The Liar, The Coronation, and Giovanni
in London. All the pieces were received with
great applause by a numerous audience.

HAY-MARKET.—This Theatre also re-openeAl
last night with Sylvester Daggerwood, Rise and
Fall, and Fortune's Frolic. The house was well:
attended, and the audience were highly diverted.
ENQLISTI 0 PER A-HousE.—The new musical
farce of Two Wives was repeated last night with
success. A drunken man in the gallery at.
tempted to harangue the audience on the index
cency of so soon re-opening the theatre after the'
recent melancholy event, -but was soon stopped
by the audience. The vast bodies of persons,
wholly dependetit on the several Theatres, ren-
der it an act of humanity on the part of Govern-
ment to tolerate the re-opening, a measure no
doubt that would have received the benev,olent-
sanction of her MAJESTY, if it had been proper
to suggest it to her in the awful and melan-
choly state of expected dissolution.

The new line of road between Leeds and Don-
caster is now opened, by which several hills are
avoided, and the way between the two places
reduced, full four miles.

[THE TIMES.]
The only private Information received yester-
-07 on the affairs of Turkey was contained in let-
ilera of the 25th-ult. from Trieste. An Austrian
Tes3el had arrived there from Smyrna with fugi-
tives. The cause of the Greeks was understood
to be declining in the Dflorea; but it had acquired
strength in. Romelia, and was becoming ex-
tremely formidable to the Turkish power
io that quarter. This latter circumstance eu-
courages the hope of the preservation of peace.—
Letters of the 20th ult., which arrived yesterday
from Su Petersburgh, are silent on the question
of war with Turkey. The communications with
Odessa had been facilitated by the establishment
of a post three times a week instead of twice,
and orders had been issued for appointing a
packet-boat 'to sail regularly between Odessa
and Constantinople.

[MORNING POSTj
More forbearance, we find, is necessary to
it.eep our resolution not to be drawn again into
the discussion of the past, than we had antici-
pated. We really thought that the wish of bu-
rying all asperities and divisions in one common
grave was not confined to ourselves-. We did not
think it possible that there should be English- ,
men desirous of perpetuating differences inju-
rious to the tranquillity, the mora's, and the
character of the country, when the object that
gave them birth had ceased to exist. We ap-
pealed to common feeling aad to patriotism—
but we appealed to a quarter where common
feeling was dead and patriotism yet unborn.
We held out the hand of peace—but it
was to those who would have no peace. We
laid down and offered to break our sword—
but. let not the enemies of order triumph,
that sword is not yet broken. They think us
self disarmed, and therefore strut valorously for-
ward, abuse on their tongue, and menace in their
eye. But let them beware ; we can still repel
abuse, and outface menace. Though we abstain
from the ground on which they so irreverently
trample, we can still reach them through other
paths. Before they venture too far, let them
examine themselves, and consider whether they
really possess invulnerability. We may be
thought, perhaps, to speak mysteries ; but we
know that in certain quarters those mysteries
mill be as clear as the light of day. We know
that some of those who are most loud in their
praises of asserted innocence, and most unjust in
their abuse of the men who honestly spoke their
sentiments when it was both painful and dangerous
to speak them,--we know that those new Candidates
for the honours of Radicalism and the sceptre
of Faction, will perfectly understand us when
we ask them who, before and during the pro-
gress of a most decided and unmitigated convic-
tion of the guilt of the person then under trial
'We know that if they please, they can supply
the public with the word of the riddle. But we
know too that they will not please to do it. Re-
gard for consistency may prevent them. Let
them enjoy their consistency—it would be cruel
sto deprive them of so scanty a commodity. One
would not rob a beggar of his mite : but then let
the beggar behave as he ought. Let him disguise
himself if he likes, but let him be neither impu-
dent nor abusive; for although we might disdain•
to ransack his pockets, we might feel no com-
punction whatever in putting him in the stocks.

[NEW TIMES.]
The Times of yesterday makes a disclosure
which cannot fail to excite equal pity for the un-
fortunate Queen, and detestation for thOse by
whom she was misled. Her Majesfy,it seems, on
One occasion, during her last illness, was express-
ing herself with much despondency. Who the
Persons were that she addressed does not appear;
probably Mr. Alderman Wood was. among the
number ; bti.t. the Editor, after mentioning her.
declaration, that she " did not wish to live,"
continues in the following' remarkable manner:—
" It was observed, that she desponded too much, that Public
Opinion was in her favour, and would make her amends for all
her sufferings. Her Majesty asked What PUBLIC OPINION
Lad done for her ! !' It was answered, that it had defeatdd that
late dreadful attempt to ruin her, the Bill of Pains and Penal-
ti €1;. Her reply was prompt and firm-- What am I the better
for the failure of that Bill? If it had passed, I should have been
degraded ; and WHAT IS MY SITUATION NOW r"
ft is not in the power of Language more
strongly to de'pict the shame; the- vexation, the
heart-rending mortification which this unhappy
Lady_ must have felt, on discovering that factious

and interested men liad deluded her to her ruin.
Public Opinion ! Oh ! Yes, the lying oracle's:of
Dk Timds had- over and over again promised
miracles to her Majesty' from the power of
public Opinion—they had declared that this
mighty power Was at 'their dispose, and
that they 4 4 would bring the Queen through."
land these is no denying the fact--they did
by an unprecedented system of intimidation
and calumny, cause the failure of the Bill
of Pains and Penalties. But of what avail
NC S' this to the restoration of lost honour ?
The painful discussions had taken place. The
evidence remained upon record. The jUdg-
Meta of every individual was wade up ; and the
fatal deciSion of St. Omer's had converted that
into history, which might otherwise have remain-
ed for ever.among vague doubts and inconclusive
sermises. The Queen was persuaded to come to
England, and thus to force into publicity what
her best friends, the friends of decency, and or-
der, and public peace, would have smothered up
in the shades of privacy and retirement.

[moltNUM CHRONICLE.]
The malady which has sheltered her Majesty
from all future care and suffering, is not, we have
good authority • for believing, of recent origin.
This unfortunate Princess has been more than
once attacked by 'the sante disease, and about
two years ago, When she resided at Pesaro, it
assumed so alarming an appearance, that the
Rhysicians,_ during a period of three days',• were
in momentary expectation that the result. would
trove fatal. Whatever, however, may appear to

, •
have been either -the remote or the proximate
cause of this mela.ncholy event, prudence dictates
that, if possible, it should be ascertained, as it may
involve many important questions ; and it is quite
reasonable to assume, in vindication of such a pro-
ceeding, that had it been compatible with those
humane feelikg-S which the Physicians IN ho
attended tier Majesty are known tp possess, or
agreeable to the established code of medical
ethics, to 'reason with the Royal Patient upon
the propriety of a measure which good sense
would sanction, and the anxious solicitude of the
people at large would almost induce 'them to
demand, little doubt can be entertained that the
Queen would have yielded her own persOnal
feelings of delicacy, and have consented to an in-
spection, which must prove satisfactory to l!er
friends, and conducive to general tranquillity.

[BRITISH PRESS.]

We should lament very much if the intelli-
gence of the Queen's demise were to prevent the
King from pursuing his intended voyage to Ire-
land, should it reach his Majesty before his de-
parture from Holyhead ; or were to cause him to
return prematurely, should he not be apprised of
the melancholy ?vent ❑ntil after his arrival in
Dublin. The extensive preparations that have
been made by the people of Ireland to greet the
coming of their King in a manner befitting his
rank. and. their own character, prove the earnest-
ness and sincerity of their joy at the pro-
mised favour. All distinctions of party and of
religion, which have hitherto distracted that
countryl have merged into one generous
and universal glow of affectionate loyalty ;
and without a paradox it may be truly said, that
Ireland, in the midst of her present anxious agi-
tation, enjoys a degree of tranquillity to which
the people have long been strangers. The pro-
mise of the King's visit—of the only British
King who has ever been known to approach the
shores of, Ireland with feelings of paternal re-
gard, has already produced the most beneficial
results; old differences have been adjusted,
feelings of irritation have subsided, the calm of
peace has superseded the angry conflict of
opinions, and the two great contending parties
have already begun to regard each other with
such kindly feelings of mutual respect, that,
should old differences be once more revived,
it may be hoped that they.- will never be
accompanied by the fierce spirit of animosity
which lately distinguished them. gut the good
work is only commenced, and awaits the, actual
presence of the King to complete it. It would
therefore be little short of a national calamity,
if his Majesty were prevented by any circum-
stances from effecting the great purpose of his
present expedition. Besides, why should his
Majesty return to London or to Brighton upon
receiving the intelligence of the Queen's decease?
Is not his Majesty as much at home in one part
of his dominions as in any other, for the pur-
poses at least 6f a momentary retreat from the
bustle' of amusement or business ? It would,
be idle to talk about the probability of the
King's feeling any particular sorrow upon re-
ceiving the news of his Queen's death. Their
Majesties never enjoyed the opportunity of
mutually appreciating by experience the good
qualities of each other; their union was accom-
panied by none of those circumstances which
might now give a bitterness to the moment of
final separation, and his Majesty cannot be e4s-
pected to feel one pang more upon the dissolu-
tion of his Royal Consort. than he might be sup-
posed to experience upon receiving intelligence
of, the death of any ordinary acquaintance.
