cularly dull hoti, for Bags and Pockets ; the holders,

ENGLISH OPERA lloUsß.•---A new Performer
came forward last night at this Theatre as
in The Beggar's Opera. Her name, we node,-
stand, is ULARKS, and that she is a pupil of Mr.
AYRToN, who, by inheritance, as well as genius
and s,„dy. is highly fitted to give musical instruc-
tion. Mks CLARKE is very yoUng, and very
pretty. Her voice has 'considerable compass
and is well-toned. it appears to mote ad-
vantage in singing than in speaking, as in
the latter respect it is weak. She sung with
feeling and taste, but scented a little too much in-
clined to flourishing, the musical" error of ..the.
times. That(' was art unaffected simplicity in her
1,-oresentation of the part, and on th!, Whole she
appeared to he a favourite with-the audience, who
gave her two ior three encores. Miss KELLY'S'
Lucy was natural, animated, and imprei,ive.—
DowToN's Locket was humorous and cha-
racteristic, and CHATTEPLEY's Peacham, With
the Mrs.Peachum of Mrs. GROVE, anti PEARNIAIN.%
Mneheath, gave spirit to the piece altogether. We
approve of the general omission of the Ladies who
visit Macheath, as the scene is disgusting, but the
mere introduction of Jenny Diver rendered the
retaking of the hero too tame and languid. The
new farce of The Quadrille, properly retrenched,
was repeated with success.

POETICAL. FaLOXY.-- The Leeds Intelligeneer has
been recently imposed upon by a Correspondent
who steals from former Poet'', and pretends that
the purloined verses were written by himself. We
have observed several instances of this Parnassian
Pillage in the Paper alluded to, and in that of
Monday last there is one from "J'HOME'SON, which
the Metrical Marauder impudently subscribes
" near Leeds." We feel this detection to he a
duty to our Brother Journalist. This trick of
vanity, however, is an old offence, which our
poetical reading has often enabled us ro discover
aid exvo,,e. But the -As: should be stripped of
the Lion's skin.
