The latest advices from Persia spoke of a war
between that country and Russia as inevitable, in
consequence of the rejection of certain proposi-
tions made by the Persian Ambassador at. St. Pe-
tersburgh. It was reported that the Ex-King of
Casur„so long persecuted by RuNJEET SING, had
arrived at Lood Leeann, having, atter encoun-
tering many dangers, and making many hair-
breadth escapes, fiaally chided the vigilance of
his pursuers under the disguise of a pedlar. Ru N.
JERTlitill, however, obtained two boxes of jewels,
valued at half a lack of rupees, once the property

surprised before they could effect their purpose ;
and, on the same night, a Jorge cut was made in
the embankment near Neal's-bridge, in conse-
(pence of which the country has been inundated.
The motives and character of these outrages, like
the tumults at Tullamore and Athlone, originate
in the extreme distress of the people, suffering un-
der the pressure of poverty and dearth of pro-
visions.
Mr. Less, one of the Inspectors of the Bank of
England, accompanied by a Marlborough-street
Officet, arrived at the Star and Garter Inn at

ney was to discover a person of the name of Joseph
Merton Hales, suspected of having conimitted a
robbery on the funds by a forged power of at-
torney, to the amount of between seven and eight
hundred pounds. Hales, the same day, was dis-
covered to have enlisted into the 10th Royal
Hussars, under the fictitious name of Bulmer. An
application was consequently made to the Com-
manding 'Officer at- the Cavalry Barracks, Lord
ROSEUT MANNERS, which led to the almost 'Mit-
,apprehension of the offender, who was put
into a post-chaise, and, guarded by the Police
Officer, dispatched to town.

performed last night in lieu of itaro, in conse-
quence of AMIIitiOGRTTI'S 1111114103160 R. Madame
F'onott's 'Gristlda is a fine pelformance, and she
7tis ably suppotted by CRIVELLI. The other casts
in the Opera, by NALot, PASTA, AGRASANI, anti
REGRE*,, Were also well sustained. The Trouba-
dour succeeded the Opera, in which MILANIR,
Madame Lunt, NARCISSI:, BAPTISTE, LEON, and
C. VESTRIS acquitted themselves with their usual
success.

Dauttv-LASE.--;-Last night the Comedy of
A Cure
,for the Iftart.Aehe, introduced a Mr.
FISHER from Exeter to the London Public in the
character of koung Rapid. Mr. FISHER is, we
believe, familiar with the Stage, and has for some
time been Proprietor and Manager of several
Theatres in the West of England. He is not, there-
fore, to be considered as a timid novice in his art,
though, undoubtedly, some allowance must fairly
be made for the trepidation almost inseparable from
a first appearance before the multitude which con-
stitutes the audience of our large Winter Houses.
Young Rapid is one of those eccentric parts which
requite little else but hustle and vivacity to render
it amusing. " Push on : keep moving," is its
element ; and the performer who can accomplish
this much cleverly, possesses all the talent necessary
for a perfect personation of the Young Tailor. • At
least this is applicable to all the early scenes ;
and.when the Creature changes 41iis nature and be-
comes sage and sentimental towards the conclu-
sion of the play, be is so altered as to have
little effect or interest with the spectators. - Mr.
FISHER both in the gay and the grave acquitted
himself with' more than mediocre abilities. His
aukwardness, where it was visible, seemed to us
to proceed more from the constraint imposed by his
new situation than from bad habits. His bye play
wanted freedom awl case, but this may probably
be ascribed to the same cause ; and upon the
whole, as far as such a part enables us to form a
judgment, we must consider the Debts/ant an
acquisition, especially to the Drury-lane Com-
pany, which is more deficient in this line of cha-
racter than in any other. Their tops have hereto-
fore been odiously played, except when HaeLEY
happened to be engaged in such as hit his peculiar
talent. MuNDEN's Old Rapid is rich as Comedy
can be made, particularly when Comedy, as in
this case, encroaches boldly on the province of
Farce.

The other dramatis personw.were well sustain-
ed, and all went off with applause.

P.'!'U.
Our mirth to raise, our care to soothe,
We find each. FAIR has got its Boon!,
And Boo'm's own usages declare
That every BOOTH will hare his FAIR :
From Boo'ru and from his FAIR dispel
All care, ye Critics—say—FAng-well
