IJRU'RY-LJANE.—The revived Comedy ,of The
nefasid was represented last night Ott this Theatre.
Mrs. MARDY N was so much indisposed that HAR-
LEY was obliged to solicit the indulgence of the
audience, yet hiformitig Weil), that she would
do her best to dischar-e her duty. A short
time,' however, after her attempt ro perforth the
part of Charlotte, she wa:s obliged to desist. After
some delay, HARLEY again
,apprized them of her
inability to continue her efforts, and they. kindly
permitted Mrs. BRRRETON to read the part.--Ao
the Atterpiece of Rhgwitino, Miss 1...v0t,:s as-
siiined the part before allotted to Mrs. MARDY N.

COMENT,GARDEN.—The Stranger brew a large
and splendid audience to this Theatre last night.
YDUNG, who adopts the masterly outline of KENt-
BLE in The Stranger, and fills it with judgment,-
'sensibility, and expression, strongly interested the
feelings of the audience, particularly in the first
meeting between him and the baron, and in his
pathetic recital of Lis domestic miseries. Miss
O'NEILL, as Mrs. Haller, e: as not leSs powerful
in exciting general sympathy. The manner in
‘vhich she disclosed het' real name and character
to the Countess, and the deep and convulsive peni-
tence with which she related her misconduct, were
peciliarly'affecting. The interview bettveen her
anti the Stranger was so well supported on both
sides, to constitute another irresistible appeal
to the feelings of the audience, There were two
changes in the representation, the parts of the
Baron, and that of Tobias, being assigned to
EGEBToN and CHAPMAN, both of whom were re-
spectable, but not sufficiently so to justify the dis-
mission of BARRYMORE and MURRAY, neither of
whom were disabied by time or infirmity for a
due performance of their allotted duty. The
Afterpiece was The Libertine. As Mr. CHARLES
IirMBLE was indisposed, the part of Don Juan
was assigned to Mr. CoNsoa, who, with a due
consideration of the high merits of his predeces-
sor, acquitted himself tolerably well. The AU-
dience haul a till recompense for the depravities
of the hero, ip the delightful warblings of. Miss
STEPHENS.

Mr. ROBERT PALmca.—We arc glad to learn
that this respectable member of the good old
school of the Stage is not dead, as reported, but
that be is likely to recover. - We feel some- plea-
sure,
,however, in the opportunity which the re-
port gave us, of bearing our testimony to his pro-
fessional and personal merits.
Mr, RAYMOND first made his appearante on
the London Boards about eighteen years ago, at
Drury-Lane Theatre, in the part of Osmond. Ile
had previously acquired reputation in Ireland and
Scotland.

Mr. COLMAN is mentioned among the Gentlemen
to whom report assigns the future management of
Drury-Lane Theatre. The talents, learning, and
experience of this Gentleman, indeed point him
out as peculiarly qualified for the office, besides
the credit which the Theatre would derive from
the name pf Mr. COLMAN as the presiding ge-
nius of the place.--It is said that the Committee
of Drury-Lane Theatre have applied to this Gen-
tleman, but that he had required the aid of a De-
puty. Such a requisition is reasonable, and is no
more than has hitherto been usual in London
Theatres.

Mr.,HOWARD PAYNE, it seems, was engaged all
last season at Covent-Garden Theatre, but the
Managers could not give adeqnate'scope to his
powers without interfering with the interests of
others. He is said to he engaged for this season
also, and is speedily to appear. Since he appear-
ed at Drury-Lane Theatre, we understand that this
Gentleman has had great professional- experience.
His voice, which before was musical and plaintive,
is said to have become much more powerful. As lie
possesses literary talents of no inferior kind, he
must of course bring taste, and adequate know-
ledge of the Author. Report says that be is to
come forward in the part of wafter.
Miss L. KELLY, lately married to a Mr. HILL,
and under her new matrimonial title, is announ-
ced for the opening of the Bath Theatre, in the
part of Letitia Hardy.
The Theatre at Maidstone, which. belongs to
Mr. DOWTON, opened on Monday last • with the
comedy of The Poor Gentlenzan. Mr.DEOAmp, one
of the extraordinary dismissions from the London
hoards, delivered an Address on the occasion.

MERCHA&T TAYLORS' SCHOOL-Yesterday, ac-
cording to ancient custom, the Boys of this ex-
cellent Seminary were examined by the
Mona and the Rev. -- MAYEw, before G. A.
NASH, Esq. the Master, Wardens, and the Court
of Assistants of the Merchant Taylors' Company,
and several other distinguished persons. The Boys
in general evinced much talent, -and slimed that
they had given great attention. to the prosecution
of their studies. The. resulta:this examination
was highly creditable to the Rev. -- CHERRY,
and the other Masters of the School. After the
examination, the Master, Wardens, and Court of
Assistants, gave a splendid dinner at their Hall,
which was numerously attended.
A Person adventuring in the present Lottery
before the 7th of November may gain a Prize of
20,0001. on that day, and thus be in time to gain
another 20,0001. the Second Day, or should he
miss it, and nnfortuately ger a Blank, he may still
gain a 20,0001. Prize, the Last Day, for 5,700
Blanks are. to have the privilege of being drawn
twice, and it is possible that One Ticket may gain
Two of these noble Prizes, for there are SIX in
the whole. The Public are indebted to Mr. SIVE.
WRIGHT for this ingenious improvement in Lot-
teries, and they seem to bear it in recollection,
for his Offices are constantly crowded.
