tiqdLigit OPPR% liouf,g,—The Musical Warn,
of The Brotvt Man, whidh justly excited the dis-
plea.oire of the audiente on its first representa-
tion, because it seerneit to recommend suicide to
i:,stend of repentance, has beeia judi-
ctouslV filtered, andj as we predicted, has be-
come popular and attractive. Its success is
Chiefly owing to the excellent support given to
it by Dourota, TlAttLEir, T. C. COKE, Miss cA-
REW, and Mt,s XELLY. Last night the burlesque
piece originally brought forward by Pooi-a,
under the title of The Pailors, or a Tragedy.
for Warm Weather, was revived at this Theatre.
—lt is a work of whimsical humour, but no
likely to • be accep:able to the Knights of the
Needle, who have generally taken the field
against it. Something of this opposition was ap-
parent last -night, but Was overborne by the fa-
vourable reception of the audience in general.—
Mr. lienVe cave an imitation Of KEAN 100 ChM!
to 'be agreeable to the admirers of that extiaordi!
nary Actor, a few, of whorii wile obviously pre-
Seto. Thouali thi4 piece (the A yhor of which is
another Junius, fur he has never been discovered,)
is stiled A Tragedy for Warni Weather, it is likely
to increase the heat of the audience by its opera-
tion ou the risible faculties.

Cf./BOURG THEATRE.-Lust night, in the repre-
sentation of the new Piece, entitled A Wife's First
Lesson, ese6ons accident had nearly happened to
Mr. STANLEY, who in the Zeal of, his acting tell
over the stage lights, and would have fallen into
the orchettra but for timely assiatauce. He was
much hurt at the time, but was sufficiently reco-
vered to resume his character after a short inter-
val The audience were very lintel) alarmed on
the occasion. • •

The report that Mrs. El.lonsviobr had been
engaged for Drury,lane Theatre, which was very
improbable; has now, we find, been proper/y.con-
tradieted.

EMERY, of Covent-GardenTheatre,.whO is now'
performing at Liverpool, so highly pleased ►he
audience in the ct►aracter of Fixture, in the Farce
of " A Roland for an Oliver," that' not content
with loudly applauding the Actor, they insisted
on one of the scenes being repeated, before they
would suffer the piece to proceed.

cured a warrant from Marlborough-street Offibe,
where Miss L. attended, and stated that the pri-
soner, while beating her, swore he would have

she ever give him any provocation. The case was
ordered to stand over. It is the determination
of the Lady's father. Co prosecute the fellow,

THE RADICAL REFORMERS.

LEETS'I, nor. 24.

The tini-uiiiiiced Aleet:ng of onr Radical Re.
ormers took place this afternoon, at the 01

place; Hunslet Moor; At five o'clock; the hour
appointed for takitig the Chair, very few hail as-
semided ; and the few *ho had then reached the

ground soon dispersed themselves in every direc;-
tion, to seek shelter frOni a heavy thunder=storm,
attended with a fine cooling shower:
The rain condoned to fall, more or less; until
after dusk ; but after the Lust fury W the storm
had sornetrl►at abated, about 3000 persons came
pouring upon blue ground from different di—
reetiOns; and proceeded to the business of the

day ; of rvl►ich, boWever, they had so Much to,
transact, that night closed i►pon them before they
could get tnrougli the *hole, In a ►vord—their
time was entirely occupied in reading details re-
specting the lamentable occurrences at ;Manchester
last week, and in pitssing Resolutions to assist
i,heir brother Reformers now itt prison at. that

place.
It was then resolved'that the assemblage should
not proceed to the consideration- of any'otber bu-
siness at
_so late an hour, but reserve every thing
for a future Meeting at the same place, of
which
,due notice will be given in the 'isnot
manner. It tvhs now nine o'clock at night.
The Meeting dispersed very peaceably, and the
people in a very orderly manner returned
to their variout places of abode, without manifest-
, ing the smallest disposition to riot or disorder of
any kind. The only thing noticeable 'respecting
the mode,ot assemblage was the approach of the
Horseforth Reformers, who came to the ground,
in' regular procession, accompanied by a band of
musicians.

REFORM MEETING NEAR GLASGOW.

During last week, notices were issued, and in.
dustrionsly circulated, for a Public Meeting of the
East District of the Barony Parish of Glasgow,
" to take into consideration the distressed 'state of
the country, and the necessity of a Reform, in the
Commons House of Parliament," &c. ; and the
Meeting was accordingly held on Saturday lit
the Tolleross burying-ground. The numbers we.
hare heard variously estimated at from 3 to 5000.
The Pi esident, taking the Chair, strongly urged
the propriety of quiet acid decoroosconducr,and his
injonctions were well attended to, for there 'eel..
tainly never was a more orderly as,embly. The
President, and several speakers who followed him,
enlarged upon the distresses of the country ,and the
other topics usual at such meetings, all of which.
are now familiar to every Reader. The Mo-
-1 narchical branch of the Government was spoken of
with the greatest respect, but a sutlicient Tap-
city of abuse was bestowed on his Majesty's Mi-
nisters, and the Borough mongers were by nts
means forgotten. As the sufferings of the
people were ascribed principally to the want
of their doe weight in the representation of
the country, unanimous Resolutions were pass-
ed in favour of Annual Parliaments; Uttiver-
sal Suffrage, and Election by Ballot. Atter
passing these Resolutions, and others of a less
general nature, among which was a vote of thanks
to the local authorities for the Constitutional mild-
ness of their deportment, the Meeting disperser,.
quietly. There appeared to be no placard but the fol-
lowing. "The Cause of Truth,Jostice,and of Right•
Universal Suffrage, Annual Pao liaments, and Elec-
tion by Ballot." We have also heard that there
was a green flag .with the letter L in, the
centre, and that it was seized on its way back
to town by Calder, the Sheriff's officer, who
thought it was carried rather ostentatiously.—
The • speaking, upon the whole, was pretty lair,
and the Orators will probably think that we
ought to have given a detailed report of their
speeches, but they have no favour or courtesy
to look for at our hands ; for having taken.
among other weighty matters, the state of the
Press under their consideration, they &dar-
ed, in one sweeping Resoluion, that the whole
Newspapers iu the West of Scotland were venal
and corrupt, and they propoled to establish iut-
nrdiately a new and independent Journal.

SEIOCKING.ACCIDENT.—Munday the hilt inst.,
about five o'clock in the afternoon, as the wot k-
men employed in erecting the large bridge of
one arch over the River Derwent, on the
line of the Sheffield and Glossip' Road, near
Cocks-bridge, were proceeding to lay the key-
stones therein, the -frame-work under the arch
giving way, fell with a most tremendous crash into
the river, precipitating ten unfortunate men and
four females, who were standing on it as specta-
tors, in'its ruins. By the prompt exertions of a
rounbei- of workmen who were engaged in the vi-
cinity, whO instantly repaired thither, the wretch-
ed sufferers were all speedily extricated, excepting
two men, who stood beneath it as it 1011, and were,
in all probability, killed initantageolv4, as their
bodies when found on the [lolloming morning,
were dreadfully mangled. Of those ho were
removed immediately, two men were already life-
less. Two valets survived in the most excruciat-
ing agony hut a few hours, and the remaining,
four men and females were so sevci ely bruised,
that the recovery of some of Omni is still uncer-
-3
fain.

Last week, a dreadful accident took place about
two miles hom Derry, A young mail, of th.e
namesof Adams, had been endeavouring to draw
ball from a gun, which had been long charged,
flailing in the attempt which ,he had made, tie
took the foolish resolution of melting the hall, hy
placing the barrel of the gun in the tire. Shortly
ater, his mother went into the kichen, and
and stooping. down to wash her feet_ at the nin.
mcnt the gun exploded, the ban passed through
her bead, awl she instantly expired.
