ACTORS.
MR. EIIPOR-1 read on Thursday evening; the
melancholy account. of the death of poor. Elohnan,
whom, like you, I knew well, and sincerely re-
gret. You have given a correct and candid.ac-
count of his character. I visil you had, also
drawn from the somewhat immature period of.
his dissolution, a conclusion which has often
struck me on similar occasions,. and which might
hove useful to some of those on the Stage.which
he unfortunately abandoned. It is thc compara-
tively short duration of life in America. The
Actors who etingrate trout this country to the
Theatres of New York, Philadelphia, &c. iuXa-
riabfy the in a short period. I do not know any
list of mortality so dreadful and so distressing as
that of the [layers who have gone front London.
to make their fortunes, and prematurely. perish
in
Anterita.- I cannot enter into. the history if this
rapid decay but I ant well assured titn it the
names Of Iluise Actors and Actresses; Who have
fallen victims .to a climate so little congenial to
Enilish habits and constitutions, were suspended
in tablets in the Green-Rooms of Covent• Garden
and Drury-Lane Theatres, it would afflict the
wise, alarm the incautious, and check the migra
tory dreams of. the discontented._

distinguished characters. The following Docu-
ment will, therefore, be considered as the natural
effect of that comprehensive regard to the interests
of Ireland, of every description, which has th-
racterised the resew Goverinnent of the Country,

dour on its approaching termination :

RUSTIC PUNISHMENT OF CEIM. CON.---The
followink circumstauce occurred recently it
a village in the cpunty, of Wilts. A man,
who some time since held a respectable sta,
Lion in life, had forfeited that respeambility
by having formed 'a connexion with the wife
of a poor labourer, whom he had prevailed
on to,qu;t her home:and live with hint in adul-
terous intercourse. ,The neighbours very pro-
perly shunned their. society; btkt as they were
peaceable, and " kept themselves to them Selves,".
the villagers had
,no other niod. of manifesting •
their reprohal ion. One day last week, however,
there occutred a Revel, about a mile from the
scene of illicit love, -to which annual festivity all
the .neighboorlng rustics repaired. The usual
holiday fun had passed off wi,h glee, and the merry •
dance had commenced—hut it wits Soon Clucked
by a but, in which the words " This be too hod,"
—" 'Od rut'em. I winder they bent oshumed,"—
" Cuss their. impudence' were distinctly audible.
The danntiess pair having stood up among the
Unsophisticated couples, caused these contume-
lious vvhispers ; the whispers became loud mur-
murs ; the murmurs increased to vociferous abuse;
and abuse extended .to personal assault—tor the
intruders were soon hooted out of the room, sod
thence literally pelted with mud all the way to
I their Will dWtiallg.
