THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.

KILKENNY, SEPT. 27..--We have now had nearly a fort-
night of favourable harvest weather, without any interruption
worth noticing ; and, we have reason to think, that the injury
sustained by the crops during the late rains was not to near the
extent which the uneasiness of the moment had induced us to
believe. The Wheat, we understand, has sufibred most from
smut, but still there is no danger of a general or serious defici-
enci.—(L6inster Journal.) -
CARLOW, SEPT. 24.—1 t is with great pleasure that we oh-.
serve such a change in the weather as to warrant an expectation
that we shall have a reduction in the markets, from the very
best cause, viz. a sufficiency of good Corn to insure a supply at
a fair price.—(Carlow Post.) •
Cons, SEPT. 22.,--tio other. apprehension exists at present
in England or in this country, relative to the harvest, than that
the rapid advance in the price of Grain, caused by the heavy
rains, may, by possibility, lead to the opening of the ports. It
is not attempted to be concealed that much and serious injury
has been do..e to the quality of the Wheat crop ; but inte-
rested speculators alone endeavour to spread the delusion that
it will be a short one. There is no real ground for such a re-
presentation, and still less for the supposition, that the Harvest,
generally, will prove a deficient one. The weather in this part
of the country continues remarkably, fine, and little remains for,
the husbandman to perform, but to draw home his produce, and
give it such treatment as will insure him the best remunerating
price.

GALWAY, SEPT. 21—All our letters from the country agree,
that the late fine weather has done •an infinity of good; after
all the scheme.s of the speculators the pries will be down.--.

THE THEATRE.—The Comedy of The Beaux'
Stratagem, one of the most diverting in the whole
round of the English drama, was represented
last night at Covent Garden Theatre. Many of
the passages which were acceptable to the coarse
taste of our ancestors at the time when the play
was written, have been expunged, but some are
still left, which are only calculated for the visitors
of the upper gallery. Archer, like the gentlemen
of FARQUHAR'S time, is witty, humorous, and
animated, but, like them, he is at times too gross
in his allusions. The Comedy abounds with such
a variety of characters, and such a number of di-
verting incidents, that it requires no aid from
licentious applications, however witty. The good
sense of the Performers must be exercised on

this occasion, as Managers seldom give them-
selves the trouble of attending to such
matters, even if they should happen to be
qualified by education, taste, and judgment.
The part of Archer was last night assigned to
Mr. JONES, as at present Mr. CHARLES KEAIRLE
is not re-engaged, on account, according to re-
port, of some unsettled difference with the Chief
Proprietor of the theatre. We hope it will soon
be adjusted, particularly as a professional gen-
tleman, according also to report, is now inti-
mately connected w ith the property, Whose legal
knowledge, long experience in theatrical matters,
and peculiar judgment on subjects of Arbitra-
tion, fully qualify him to suggest the best system
of management. Mr. JONES was sprightly and
effective in the part, of Archer, and -ABBOTT a
very respectable representative of Aimusell.—
On this occasion Mi. MEADOWS, from Bath, was
introduced in the part of Scrub. He is in court-.

tenance somewhat like LISTON. His perform-
ance was marked by simple humour, and his
attempts to imitate the -manners of Archer were
very ludicrous and diverting. He did not fall
into those buffooneries which are too common
with Provincial Performers. He should, how-
ever, have remained in quiet terror during the
scene of the robbery, as his attempts to put on
his cloaths excited laughter that rendered what
passed between Archer and Mrs. Sullen wholly
inaudible. Mrs, DAVISON gave an animated por-
trait of Mrs. Sullen, with some pathetic touches
in relation to her unlucky marriage. Miss
BEAUMONT would have been more in erest-
ing in Dorindu if she could have been better
heard, but in general her utterance was too
weak. EMERY'S Gibbet was prominent in the
piece. Some revision of the- play is necessary on
another ground besides indelicacy. Scrub refers
to the frizzled head of Archer, according to the
costume of former times, though he now appears
in an unpoz;dered crop. It is strange that such
anomalies are not noticed, and corrected on re-

hearsals. The play altogether was very Well
supported by. the whole of the performers, and
went off with all the spirit of novelty-.

Mrs. GLOVER has been, for some evenings past,
he attraction of the Bristol Theatre.
