Shakspeare's Play of C.ymbeline has been some
time in preparation at Covent-garden. It is intended to
be brought out with unusual splendour. The scenery and
dresses are to be entirely new, and the whole is getting up
at great expense.

The new Melo-drama at Covent-Garden is de-
cidedly the best Easter Entertainment brought out for
many years. It does Mr. Farley infinite credit. The
treasury report, which is a good test of public approbation,
has it that the receipts exceed those of Cherry and Fair
Star.

In defence of angling it may be justly said,
that of all sports it is the most respectable, for every angler
is a gentle-man.—Mirror.

A son of the late Marshal Soult, Duke of
Dalmatia, passed through Waterford this week, on his way
to the Lakes of Killarney.— Waterford Mirror.
The first time that a coach went from Oxford
to London in one day, was in April, 1669. It contained
six passengers, had a boot on each side, and was thirteen
hours on the road.—Mirror.

A CONCEITED STAG.—There was also in
the forest small fallow deer ; the buck has two small sharp
horns without any branches, pointing outwards from their
base. His Excellency the vice-president, knowing my par-
tiality to animals, had the kindness to send me a tame stag.
He was a noble animal, and so tame that he would feed out
of any person's hand. I was obliged at last to part with
him. He had a trick of going up stairs and walking deli-
berately into tke drawing-room, and admiring himself in a
large mirror ; and on these occasions my servants found it
difficult to make him leave the room without injuring the
furniture. He was particularly fond of barley.— Travels
through Colombia.

A man in the province of Bengal had been a
long time very successful in hunting the tiger ; his skill
gained him great eclat, and had insured him much diver-
sion ; at length he narrowly escaped with his life. He
then relinquished the sport with this observation :
" Tiger-hunting is a very fine amusement, so long as we
hunt the tiger ; but it is rather awkward when the tiger
takes into his head to hunt us."—Mirror.

MOORE'S PROPHECIES.--Since the year
1817, when Francis Moore adopted the Hieroglyphic of
Britannia TVeeping, and in which year we had to notice
the painful and universally-lamented circumstance of the
Death of the Princess Charlotte of Wales, the produc-
tions of the Almanack maker have been quite uninteresting.
The present year, however, is likely to restore this annual
nostrum of the prophet, in the minds of the credulous, to
its former celebrity, as regards the knowledge it conveys
of future events. The months of March and April divide
a paragraph, which will be construed by some as exclusive
information respecting the late change in the British Mi-
nistry. The following is the passage to which we allude :
—One of the Long Robe about this time meets with the
frowns of his Prince ; whilst, on the other hand, another
finds himself elevated to a station of great importance and
trust." The time of this prophecy is much better defined
than other prognostics which relate to changes in the wea-
ther. It is fixed to occur between the 30th of March and
the 13th of April ! Chelmsford Chronicle.

A o,

Chapel-street,
circumstan-
ces :—A fashionably dressed young man, of most imposing
appearance, called at the house, No. 21, in the above
street, between twelve and one o'clock in the afternoon,
robbery
and requested to know if Mr. Willan' (a person who ac-
tually resided there) was at home. -He was informed that
he had gone out of town to visit his sister. The stranger,
who had been previously shown into the parlour, then
asked for a sheet of paper to write him a note. Mr.
Hughes, another lodger, and the person who spoke to the
stranger, went up stairs to get the paper, and was absent
about two minutes. The stranger then wrote the follow-
ing epistle, in a wretched hand : " April 1.5.
" Dear Bill,--.I cam From the country thus morning
and tryed to find you at deffirent places but Did not succad
i suppose you will be in town in a few days and I will call
gain A mus be son. " DICK POTS."

Mr. Willan returned in the evening, and having occasion
to use his writing-desk, which was in the parlour, he
found it had been forced open, and robbed of 30 sovereigns
and about 25 shillings in silver.

ANOTHER INFORMER DEFEATED.--OR
Thursday a notorious informer, named James Benwell, de-
scribing himself a gentleman, residing at Edmonton, preferred
an information against Mr. Mawbey, a stage-coach pro-
prietor, for not having his name placed in full on the pannel
of the coach-door, which, if proved, subjects the defendant
in a penalty of 101. The parties having appeared before
the Magistrate at Queen-square Office, the information was
read over, when the defendant pleaded not guilty. The
informer's witness was a smart genteel lad, about 17 years
of age, named Stapleton, living at No. 26, Cirencester-
place, New-road, Marylebone, and was a labourer; he de-
posed, that on the afternoon of the 11th inst. he saw the
defendant's stage, which runs from Fulham to London,
pass the Duke of Wellington's house in Piccadilly, and
noticed the name " Samuel Mawbey" over the coach-door,
and at bottom the words " London, Fulham ;" the former,
was not on the pannel as directed. The worthy Magistrate
said, then there is nothing in the information whatever,
and instantly dismissed it with costs against the informer.
Benwell, on hearing the decision, was sorely chagrined, and
speedily crept out of the office, accompanied by his young
pupil, amid the laughter or the spectators.
