THE' H EATRE.

The return of Mr. KEAN last 'night to Drury-
Lane Theatre naturally attracted a numerous
audience, more particularly as he. appeared in
Richard the Third, the character in which he is
held to be chiefly excellent._ lie was received
with the most gratifying marks of public applause,
and, according to modern custom, was honoured
by a laurel wreath thrown upon the Stage.
,Ile
certainly did not exert himself with his usual
spirit in the earlier .scenes, but the langour of
the audience roused him into action, and
he kindled as he proceeded. We shall not dilate
on his performance of a character in which be has
been seen so often, and in which he seems to
have gained the stamp of public approbation, but
we advise him not to let the consciousness of
fame betray him into indolence. Fame is only to
be kept by continued exertion, and,in his profession,
is easily transferred to a Competitor, whose chief
pretensions may arise from novelty. We shall say
no more. at present, but leave him to profit by the
hint.—Fore resumed the part of King Henry, and
Mrs. GLoVER that of the Queen, and both acquitted
themselves respectably.

WINDSOR, OCT. 6.—The PRINCE REGENT ar-
rived at the Castle yesterday, to dine with the
QUEEN and his Royal Sisters, and afterwards re-
turned to London.
BRIGHTON, OCT. 5.—A rumour is current here,
that the PRINCE REGENT IS again on the eve of
paying a visit to the Pavilion ; at present, how-
ever, there are no preparations making at the Pa-
lace, the common preliminaries of such an event.
It appears certain that the QUEEN and PRINCESSES
will pass some weeks here as last year, hut no-
thing as yet has transpired as to the precise time
of their visit.

Yesterday the LADY MAYORESS and her two
daughters, accompanied by several Ladies and
Gentlemen, visited the female prisoners in New-
gate ; they were conducted through the various
compartments by Mr. BRowN, the Keeper, Mrs.
Far, and several other Ladie'S belonging to the
Society of Friends (who occasionally visit the
female prisoners, and employ them in useful
works, and give them religious instruction), and
were much pleased with the cleanliness and regu-
larity of the prison.
THOMAS SHAFT, Esq. is the newly elected
Mayor of Arundel for the year ensuing.
GYMNASTICS.—There was a meeting of Boxing
Amateurs yesterday at Lum!ey's Hotel, to fix
upon the ground for combat this day between
Scroggins and Turner, who fight their second
battle, for 150 guineas aside. The articles state
that the match should not be fought within 25
miles of London, but this part was waived, with
the consent of Turner and Scroggins, and their
backers, who were present, and instead of Cop-
thorpe Common, 19 miles West of London was
fixed upon. Betting is 7 to 4 on Turner, and
bath men. think promisingly of themselves. The
Commissary-General left to mark out the ground
yesterday, accompanied by his forces.
Mr. Sivaw RICHT has rendered a great service to
his Brother Office-keepers, by setting the exam-
ple of. moderate Prices, for the Public now buy
twice as many Tickets and Shares as they used to
do ;—he has much me, it also in having introduced
new feature into Schemes, whereby the Public
are much benefited, for the Number of Blanks
are decreased, and the Value of the Tickets in-
creased. in the Lottery which •is to commence
7th of NOVEMBER, there are Six Prizes of
20,000/. !! a number quite unprecedented, and
it will be recollected the Last 20,0001. was sold in
Shares at SIVgWRIGHT'S Offices.

" Faint heart never won fair lady."—Those

their endeavours. Those only who, iiis-regardirag

ceeding with the fair goddess Fortune, who once
more gives them an opportunity of being reward-
