THE THEM RES.

DEURY-LANZ.—The Season commenced at this
Theatre, on Sa,urday, with the Comedy of The
School for Scandal, and the Farce of 'Past Ten
o'Clnck. The strength of the Comedy was em-
ployed in both pieces, and the Theatre was at-
tended by II very numerous audience. The chief
Performers received a very flattering, tribute -of
public welcome as they respectively entered, and
DotsTON, MuNDEN, RAE, HARLEY, KNIGHT,
and Mrs. DAvisoN, were particularly greeted on
the occasion. This favourable reception was re-
newed when MuNneN, OXBEREY, Mrs. ()HOER,
anti Nlrs. Ai.suP.sp!)eare: in the Farce. The new
accommodat;nns- secined to he' well received by the
for are cer ainly to be con.idered
as emisidera.ble improvements. The interior made
a very brilliant. appearance, and the audience
testified their satidat.tiou with repeated marks of
applause. '

COVENT-GARDEN,--.At a late hour last night,
not to interfere with the proper decorum of the
day, this Thecitte WAS opened to many friends and
connexions of the Managers and Performers, to
xritness the effect Of the new mode of illuminating
the interior, comptehentling the part for the an—
dience,. and the Stage. The thief addition for
this purpose is a splendid chandelier, which de-
scend,. from the place where the ventilator was,.
/tip! s remlin;. The effect fully ,accomplisbed
the in: ention. The house appeared to great ael-!
vantoge; and the audience could clearly discern
each other, as well as distinctly see all that passes
on the stage. The scene on which :this new
chandelle!' aod others were tried, consisted of a
picture galley, ethic!) displayed a faithful and
anintat.e.t copy-4 the esteem, d wprks of the Old
Masters, among which were a Cartoon by HA,

The company were well pleased with the splen-

Airs. BELLCHAMBI Ri, whose musical powers are
it, such high repute, is to male her debut next
week as Patrick, in The Poor,Soldier. She has,
it seems, hitherto received a second encore for the
admirable manner in which she sings the favourite
song of " My Friend ana Pitcher."
Sir JOHN STEVENSON, ut musical celebi ity, was
not, as reported, a candida:e for the vacaht,ap-
pointment in his Majesty's Baud, which has been
allotted to Mr. SHIELD. Sir JOHN, we under-
stand, was in Paris, when the vacancy occurred
and if he had beets here when the nomination took
phice, be would not have made applicatioh for it,
as he possesses, we find, an office in Dublin much
superior in pecuniary adrantages.
As a body of troops passed in review .before
BOoNAPARTE, at the Carousel, his horse became
so tr.ruly, that his hat fell'iil his exertions.to re-
strain it. A young soldier, who happened to he
near him. picked up the bat, and presented it to
hits. —s. Thank you, Captain," said NAPOLEON.—
" In ‘t h•tt regime fit, Sire ?" said the young man.
A few days att. r, the young man, with whose
,ths•xer BuoNApARTE was much pleased, was oil-
exp. ctediy raised, by brevet, to the rank of Cap-
tain in the Imperial Guard.

I ave-the authority of the nioit
re‘pect6le hiMe in this city, in the Nianchesier
trade, to stare, that " within the. fast ten day? an
advance of from to 10 per 'cent. bris actually
taken place,. and b4s been readily obtained- in
Manchester upon almost every article of Cotton
Manufactures "—(BristOl Mirror, Sept 6.)
The: Wutern Laminar? say; —=:" A respeetable
woollen manufacturer at Crediton, of capital and
experience sufficient to guarantee performance,
haS submitted an offer to the principal landholders
and magistrates of that neighbourhood, which is
likely to form a precedent for other places
-is, to contract for a stated number of years (3 or
•7 we believe) to maintain tire poor and keep the
toads in repair; for 5001. a-year less !Van their
aVerttge ;drat of the last seven years. Of course,
he calculatei upon employing many of them in
the varidiis liraricheS of the woollen manufacture,
and on the roadi, according to their age, sex, and
ability ; and the Guardians of the Poor, if they
close with the offer, still take 'Security fin their
good treatment..''
WoRTHiNG, SEPT. s.—The condoned fine wea-
ther has completely changed the whole face of tilt
country, and here, as at Brighton, Little fiarnp-
ton. and Arundel, all, symptoms of despondency
have vanished. In every field increased activity
may be observed ; the corn is now pretty gene-
rally reaped throughout this district ; much has
been housed, much 'has been stacked, and a very
.few days will, in all probability, enable floe farmers
to clear the fields, and to celebrate a joyous har-
vest time. To talk. of any distress here is sheer
nonsense. Never was there a greater detna.nd for
labour.

IllttmtwonAm.—The luxuriant appearance of
the crops of grain have not proved deceitful, for
on reaping they have been found to answer the
most ,sanguine' expectations ; the season4ble
change in the weather will enable all the very
id!e tanner to house their grain. The most 'beau-
tiful samples of wheat were shoWn in our
matket oti Thursday last, and. opw'ards of one
hundred and thirty hags were.sold by the person
who showed the sample.--

ENNII, SEPT. I.—Notwithstanding a day
scarcely passes without a fall of rain, the corn
promises to be in abundant-crop, acid
,appears in
general perfectly sound. Several fields of wheat
in the vicinity of this town have been already
leaped.
