THE THEAITE.

Then hear me, pray hear me, suspend your decision,
'Tis sorrow, nut guilt, dims my eye with a tear,
The heart that loves truly should know no suspicion,
Then banish from thine every feeling of fear.

The Miss DRNNETTS have not, as stated, been
discharged from Covent-Garden Theatre.
It is reported that one of the intended arrange-
ments fur the ensuing season, at Drnry-Lane
Theatre, is the reduction of the price of admis-
sion to the old standard, viz. ss. to the boxes,
&c. The other Theatre will, of course, be oblig-
ed to do the same, and the measure will, we
doubt not, be advantageous to both.
The new Comedy of The Green Man has been
to attractive, that Mr. JONES, the Author, has, it
seems, sold it for a sum much beyond what has
ever been given for a piece of three acts.

THE AUTHOR OF WAVERI.F.Y, &e.—Mr. THOS.
SCOTT, Paymaster of the 70th regiment, station-
ed at Kingston, in Upper Canada, is reported, iu
the Linked States, to be the Author of Waverley,
the Antiquary, Stc. An acknowledgment of the
fact was made (says the Port Folio), by one of the
family of Mr. Scott to an Aineilean Gentleman,
during the last autumn. In addition to this, an
individnal of Philadelphia has seen the manuscript
of one of these works. Mrs. Scott, the Lady of
Mr. Thomas Scott, lately passed through New-
York, on her way to Great Britain ; and the time
of her arrival was diStinguished by an advertise-
ment ofa New Tale hi three vols. entitled " Rob
Roy," it's having been put to press in England, by
the author of Waverley and other Novels. The
intimate 'connection which Mr Walter Scott is
known to have had with these publications, is
fully accounted for upon the supposition that the
author is Ids brother, and lives in Upper Canada.
NEWFOUNDLAND.—The Beresford, SINNOTT,
and the Lady Sherbrooke, PnEcaN, arrived here
yesterday from St. John's, which the former lett
on the 19th, the latter on the 20th.of July. The
cod fishery is not represented as prosperous, ex-
cept to the westward; but great hopes are enter-
tained for the remainder of the season : the seal
fishery was remarkably fortunate every where.
The rapid rebuilding of the town of St. John's is
fully confirmed. The passage home from New-
foundland was very rainy.—(Wrilerford Mirror.)
WHALES.—TWO whales have been seen for the
last five or six days inside the harbour's mouth at
Cove ; yesterday, the City of Cork Steam Packet,
with a great number on hoard, proceeded to sea
hfor a few hours, and went very near Youghall
arbour ; we were informed by a Gentleman who
was on hoard, that the Steam Boat passed quire
close to. one of these whales, near the har-
bour's mouth, and the persons on board had a
distinct view of it, and were much amused! at
seeing it spout up the water, which it did td
a considerable height ; two row boats were esi-
deavouring to drive it inside the harbour, but with
little effect. The appearance of these whales on
our coast may be owidg to the Icebergs, which
have lately been so much talked of by ,naviga-
tors.—(Cork- Chronicle.)
.13oxItstc.—Camberwell Fair, like Lanslicwne,
brought about:n.fight of a most determined na-
ture„between Harry .Polter,. a gypsey, from the
neighbourhood of Bristol, and .Cordery,' a tan-
ner. The parties had a dispute at a booth in
the fair on Tuesday, and 10/. 'vas deposited for
the tanner to go and fight him on the near-
est eligible spot ; an amateur who was acquainted
with the science and breed of the gypsey, having
made stakes for,him. The fight lasted t wenty-
four minutes, but the tanner was the-worst beat,
although the victor.

CRICKET.—The Cricket Match between eleven
Gentlemen of Egham against eleven, of Chertsey,
was played on Monday last on Engletield Green,
and won by the former.

DARING ROBBERY.—On Tuesday as Mr. John
Coben, broker, in Westminster-road, was corn-
ing from. Camberwell Fair to town, he was
robbed by a fellow of his watch, chains, seals, &e,
at Newington. A gang of thieves surrounded him
at the time, hut he seized the -thief :Ind held him
Until a constable cams; 'up and secured him. He
was committed to NeWington cage.
Twenty-one brace of grouse, or moor game.
found in the possession of a carrier, were seized,
by warrant of a Magistrate, on Wednesday morn-
ing last, at Brancepeth, Durham.

S•:nday evening Mrs. Harvey, of Clarendon-
place, Clarendon-square, Somers' Town, was at-
tacked on the New Road, by three lads and two
'careen, who knocked her down, and robbed her
of her ridicule, and three ostrich feathers.

F.VGLICH OPER k liousp.—The Operatic novelty
produced for the
,first tithe last night .at this Thea-
tre is (.!titled lealon's ou all .ides; ar?he Landlord
in jeopardy. The scene lies in Spain, and the rtt:rin
plot arises
.from the jealons anxieties of A/exo
_(`VRitstcH). and Fobricio
.(lieha:4AN), who both
temporarily place the ladies they propose to Marry
in the home of Possado (H,Aat..Ev). The fair
Ones in consequence become mingled. - Much con-
(usion and vexation is experienced by the lovers,
through one lady being mistakeu for the other ;
and Possado, the landlord of the Ii once, and his
servant Farrago (WILKINsoN), come in for their
share of trouble, as atone time the only conten-
lion bet weetl Fabricio ant Ale:ro is, which shall
have the pleasure of being their executioner. In
the end, explanation satisfactorily dispels all the
jealousies which had been excited, and the cele-
bration of a double marriage completes the happi-
ness of all parties. The music, which is spirited
and pleasing, is attributed to a Mr. JOLLY. There
is much of entertaining complexity in the plot of
this piece, and of humour in the several charac-
ters. It was well supported by the performers,
and very favourably received by the audience.—
We subjoin a song as a specimen of the poetry ;
it was sung with expression by Miss Canew, and
was encored, and so was a ludicrous song on jea-
lousy, by HARLEY
• :
Ah why do you fly me ? why scorn and repress me ?
Why turn from a heart so devoted as mine ?
You know there is nothing on earth can distress ate,
So much as one cruel suspicion of thine.
