A new Farce, in which MATHEWS, LISTON,

author of Virpinius and William Tell, has a Comedy
accepted by the manager of the same theatre.

1 CHARLES KEMBLE, who has been acting in
the country with great success during the Christmas holi-
days, returns to Covent-garden Theatre to-morrow even-
ing, when he will perform Charles Surface, in the School

COOPER, the American novelist, is the son
of an eminent Judge in the United States. He left his
father's house at twelve years of age, and went to sea; and
the novel called the " Pirates" is said to be the result of
his experience on the watery element. He now enjoys a
diplomatic character in qjie of the ports of France, and is
in perfectly independent circumstances. In America he is
designated " Spy" Coosa, in consequence of having writ-
ten the novel called the " Spy."

We understand the average receipts at Drury-
lane Theatre, on those evenings when ManxEws has
acted Sir Fretful Plagiary, in The Critic, and Buskin, in
Killing no Murder, and L/STON performed Don Whis-
kerandos, in the former piece, and Apollo Belvi, in the
latter, have exceeded 5501. It is fair, however, to attri-
bute this extraordinary success to a combination of talent
in the other departments of these dramas. Mr. JONES'S
Puff, Mr. Coornit's Sneer, and Mrs. OaiaEn's Tilburina,
add considerably to the attraction.

As Sir WALTER SCOTT was riding (a few
weeks ago) with a friend in the neighbeurhood of Abbots-
ford' he came to a held-gate, which an Irish beggar, who
happened to be near, hastened to open for him. Sir WAL-
TER. was desirous of rewarding this civility by the present
of sixpence, but found that he had not so small a coin in
his purse. " Here, my good fellow," said the Baronet,
,s here is a shilling for you; but mind, you owe me six-
pence." " God bless your Honour !" exclaimed Pat,
"may your Honour live till I pay you !"Literary Ga-
