TUB THEATRE.,--A more nomeroos audience we
never witnessed than attended the representation
of The School for Scandal, last night, at Covent-
garilen Theatre. Mr. FAHREN resumed the part
of Sir Peter 'teazle, and performed it admirably
throughout. In cow.equence of the illness of Mr.
YOUNG, the part of Jci'seph'Surfrie was allotted to
Mr• E‘GEIITON, who supported it with considerable
ability, independently of its hating been a sudden
call tin his talents. The play was altogether
rendered animated and effective. The popular
Romance of Blue Beard followed, an'd Mr. EGER-
-tots supported the Eastern Tyrant with as much
success as ha did the English Hypocrite. Mrs.
C. KEMIILE was as animated in Irene as when she
performed that cha'r'acter.
Mr. FISFIEK and his brother are both engaged
for Drury-Lane Theatre, one for tragedy, and
the other for musical characters. The tragic
Performer appeared with, considerable advantaae

DUKE or DEVONSHIRE.I-119 Grace continues
his attention and liberality to the Charitable In-
stitutions of the County of Colic. The encou-
ragement of:education amongst the lower classes
ofthepeople, and theirconsequent advancement in
an intellectusil as well as a moral (Ind religious view,
appears to receive the uriboupded support
of this philanthropic Nobleman. Thine is not a
town or village within the c,i,rtje.,of his Grace's
ample possessions in this neglected country which
has not
.experienced the chee,ring influence of his
patronage, and the unreserved, prompt, and amia-
ble anxiety of his respectable agents in this and
the neighbouring counties, to the solicitations for
his Grace's bounty toward Schools for the edu-
cation of the Poor, calls for much applause
.and
gratitude from the numerous tenanty, who deti%e
from these institutions, education, habits of in-
dustry, and moral and religious instruction for
their numerous and here3nfoke neglected families.
What a happiness for ,Ireland, if the example
giveo by the Duke of Devonshire were imitated
by Ike other non-resident Proprietors (if our
soil ‘Vhat a different aspect would the
hamlets, villages, anii towns, that ate spread
over the face of this exten•ive county present
