AMERICAN THEATRICALS.

(From a Boston Paper.)
THE VESTRIS.—These celebrated artistes, esteem-
ed the first in Europe, make their first appearance is
this city, at the Tremont theatre, this evening. The
manager of the Bowery theatre, New York, engaged
these admirable dancers at a salary of 15,000 dol-
lars-per annum. •
MADAME FERON.—This celebrated vocalist made
her first appearance on the American boards at the
Park theatre, New York, on Thursday evening last.
The prices of admission to the house were raised on
that occasion, and during her short engagement.
Madam'e Feron is an English lady, whose powers
have been so highly appreciated in Europe, that, at
the. Neapolitan Opera, she sustained the principal
characters. • We are informed_that she is expected in
Boston early this week.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-At Paris, the
Right Hon. the Lord Viscount Peroeval, only son of the
Furl of Egmont, to Louise Marie, youngest daughter of
Ilse Count D'Orselet.

There was an awkward bustle- about a certain
Private door in St. James's-street, a few evenings since,
which gave rise to various surmises.

The opponents of the Marylebone Vestry
have given public notice of their intention to renew their
application to Parliament in the ensuing Session.

and acquitted, not for want of evidence, but because the
Jury wisely thought the mother summut in the wrong too.

It is .1)ot only the sheep that are generally
eoed throughout the country, but hares also are found to
be no less seriously affected with the same disorder. The
vreakly state in which they are consequently found, pre-
vents the sportsman finding much amusement in their pur-
Nt.—Berks Chronicle.

The crime of sheep-stealing is dreadfully pre-
valent in this neighbourhood. A few days since Mr.
Puller, of Loddon Bridge Farm, lost a fat wether ; he has
belred a reward of ten pounds for the detection of the
Plunderers. We learn, from good authority, that almost
tpery farmer, in a very large circuit in that neighbourhood,
has each of them lately lost a sheep.—Berks Chronicle.

On Saturday last a hare, that had been hard

lier novel and interesting figure soon attracted the atten-
tion of all who were within view. In a few minutes a band

her in. Her pursuers, knowing that she was in durance-
*lie, pushed in after her. She made her way through a
long passage back from the shop into the kitchen, and. was
there taken by her pursuers, to the great terror of the
tbistretis of the house.— Glasgow Chronicle.
PRIMITIVE METHODIST PREACHER.—A
Panting preacher at Bolton-le-Moors lately addressed his
kuditors in this highly figurative strain :—"Ah ! I dare say
You'd all pay to see a boxing-match between Randall and

between me and Beelzebub. Oh ! my friends, many a

THE CARRYING TRADE.—The fear that
the British ships might obtain an advantage in transport,-

Nitons voyage," in other words, by touching at a colonial

their cargoes in Great Britain at a less duty than is enacted

LORD ANGLESEA'S RESIGNATION.

I (From the Dublin Frepnwn's Jonrn,7l of Thursday.)
Rumour would have it that Lord Anglesea has
' • decided upon returning to his Majesty that Com-
mission which he brought with him inio this coun-
try, and that Lord Melville is the individual to whom
it will be, in all likelihood, transferred. What are
we to gather from this ? . Lord Anglesea does not
resign from ill health, for his constitutional malady
has abated considerably since he came to reside in
Ireland. lie is not thwarted into disgust and resig-
nation by newspaper abuse; because there has not-
been, in the memory of the existing generation, a
Viceroy of whom the Press, generally, could be
more laudatory. The people of Ireland have poured
forth no dark execration upon his name. On the
contrary they remunerated, and even still continue
to remunerate, his kindness and paternity of demea-
nour towards them, with all the credulous and cha-
racteristic gratitude that belongs to the Irish nation.
No political obituary appears in the gazettes
which it could be presumed Lord Anglesea might
be requested to supply. Neither can it ' bein-
ferred that, like Gerald in the new novel of the
Anglo-Irish, the Noble Lord has taken up certain
irreclaimable notions bf antipathy which forbid his
continuing to be the keystone of all that remains of
the arch of Irish society. The Brunswick Clubs
indiscriminate though their principle be, to vilify
every individual, no matter what his station is, have
attested their indulgence of one single and solitary
scruple—their non-slavering the head of the Irish
Government. In. the Association, when documents
condemnatory of. the Monaghan magistrates were
produced, and when the evidence of those docu-
ments had nearly made up the minds of all as to the
folly of placing any further faith in the domestic
Government, the great leader himself vindicated
Lord Anglesea with a zeal, which called forth the re-
proof that he held a brief for the Castle. His Ex-
lency has no bigot and blockhead underling
in the shape of a Secretary of State, to play the
despot upon his authority and good intentions.--
What then, we repeat the question, are we to gather
from the fact of his rumoured resignation ? What
if it be not a misunderstanding with the Cabinet,
upon the great question, and an impatience of no-
minal instead of real and overt power, as the Viceroy
of Ireland. This, if there be truth in.the rumour,
is the goad against which Lord Anglesea kicks.

But—, the idea of such a succedaneum as Lord
Melville ! To this we • may well say, with Shak-
speare, " horrible, horrible, horrible !" A Minister,
unknown for a single political beneficence, and cele-
brated for filling the Brit;sh Navy (i. e. all the
profitable niches in the naval establishment) with
hungry kinsmen, from the Highlands and Lowlands
of Scotland. If it be really true, that Lord Anglesea
will not be badgered loy the Minister, we do not see
the good of continuing the pageantry of Viceroyalty,
ignominious, ctiffed and insultedviceroyalty,in Ireland.
The successor of Lord Anglesea, whoever he be,
must be an infliction upon the purse and liberties of
the country ; because, when trust becomes untenable
on grounds of independence, the individual, who
grasps at the thing which an independent and honest
man has flung from him, as disgraceful in the tenure,
must be a sycophant and-an oppressor, even though
he be the representative of a King.

KENT LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.—We are
happy to state that at the last meeting of this Association
en Monday evening, the names of nearly 100 members were
enrolled. This promises to become a most powerful and
effective instrument in keeping the Brunswickers in check,
and promoting, in general, the great cause of Civil and Re-
ligious Liberty.—Kent Herald.
KENT LIBERAL DINNER.—This important
meeting is the present topic of conversation throughout the
county. The applications for tickets nre very numerous,
and a crowded assemblage of nearly a:1 the rank, talent,
and respectability of the county of Kent, may be expected.
We imagine that feiv who would feel satisfaction at witness-
ing such A triumph of liberal sentiment, will be absent on
such an occasion.—lrentlierald.

COUNTENANCE AND PROTECTION.—The
following Resolution was passed at the Aggregate Meeting
hell yesterday :—" That two Gentlemen in every county,
city, and large town in Ireland, do attend in London, at
the meeting of Parliament, to give their countenance and
advice to Mr. O'Connell, on occasion of taking his seat."
There are thirty-two counties in Ireland, and we may set
down the cities and large towns at fifty, so that if this reso-
lution be carried into effect, the Member for Clare will
proceed to the House with a tail composed of one hundred
and sixty-four persons.—. Dublin Evening Mail, I Vol-
nesday.

Even the gentry in Sweden arc discontented
and quite out of their element without brandy; especially
if they have it nut with their whet before dinner.
SELF.—It is well and truly said by the old
Puritan Brooks, that " Self is the only oil which makes
the chariot wheels of the hypocrite move in religious con-
cernments."
Bradford the Martyr was wont to. say, " I
count that hour lost, in which Ido no good with my pen,
my tongue, or my purse."

Three of the members of the corporation in
one of the west of England boroughs, were some tine since
put into the Spiritual Court for living in fornication.—
Morning Paper.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.—The errors
made by compositors are sometimes very entertaining. For
instance, the New Times once contained an account of a

fashionable party at which one of tke most distinguished
persons was " the Duke of Pork !" Another paper lately
furnished its readers with a long report of proceedings in
the " Court of Common Fleas !" and the Morning
Chronicle of last Tuesday contained an account of an
" atrocious bobbery I"—Lincoln Herald.

ANECDOTE.—Mr. Kryglas, one day being
dressed in a very handsome pair of new boots, met a friend
when the following conversation ensued Mr. Frad.
These are handsome boots, Mr. Kryglas, who made
them ?" Mr. K. " Willy Lop."—Mr. F. " How did
you prevail on him ?" Mr. K. ." Guess."—Mr.
suppose you talked him over in the old way." Mr. K.
" No, that won't do now."—Mr. F. " Then, when they
came home, you ordered half a dozen more?" Mr. K.
" No."—Mr. F. " Perhaps you gave a cheque on Ham-
mersley, which you knew would not be honoured." Mr.
K. " No, no, no ; in short, you might guess till to-morrow
before you would hit it—l paid for them !I"

An humble but an ingenious mechanic of
Little Coxwell, near this town, having bestowed most of
his " over hours" during the last twelve months, in en.
dea%rouring to bring to perfection a " dandy horse," has
given publicity to his intention of showing off his Rosinante
on the 22d instant, by following sir keeping a-head of the
fox and hounds on that day. It is not for us to anticipate
the success or non-success of his ingenious invention._.

INSANITY.---Dr. Burrows, an eminent writer
on diseases of the mind, has asserted that disappointments
and losses have little effect in producing insanity, when
compared with sudden joy and wealth. The mind is
better able to bear misfortune than prosperity. During
the period of the commercial panic in 1625, it is asmr-
tained that fewer individuals became insane in London
than in the same period for several years previously.
ACClDENT.—Yesterday an Inquest was held
at Guy's Hospital, on the body of Mr. Edward White,
aged 40. The deceased was clerk to Messrs. Read and
Cooper, brewers, of Dartford ; and on the Ist instant he
was proceeding from Crayford to Dartford, with a dray
containing empty casks, and was overtaken by the Sur-
prize Dover coach, the driver of which whipped the
horses of the dray, which caused the animals to start off at
a furious rate. The deceased, in endeavouring to stop
them, fell, and two of the wheels of the coach passed over
his body. Both his legs were broken, and he received other
injuries which caused a locked jaw. The Jury returned a
verdict of Accidental Death, and levied a deodand of 51.
on the coach and horses.

MUSICAL REVIEW.

A COMPLETE INSTRUCTION BOOK FOR THE.
GUITAR.

COMPOSED BY F. DUVERNAY, GUITARIST TO THE RING'S

TII RATH F. .

The Author's own title is the most just criti-
cism we can render to the great merits of this
Instruction Book. It has a further advantage
to general studants--being written throughout
in the French, as well as the English language.
The method is clear, and simply progressive to
the most moderate capacity. The examples are
in good taste, and unobjectionable harmony.
