THE THEATRE.---We have to congratulate the
Public on the appearance of a new Actor last
night at. Drury-lane Theatre, whose talents are
likely to render him one of the chief ornaments
of the Loudon Stage. This performer is a Mr.
COOPER) who has acquired considerable reputa-
tion on Provincial boards, and who came last
from Liverpool, a place that has often given such
encouragement to theatrical talents as enabled
them to make an early transfer to the Metropolis.
Mr. COOPER may be fairly numbered among
those who have received the sanction of Liver-
pool taste and judgment. The part which he
assumed last night was Romeo, which he support-
ed, throughout with no ordinary rate of ability,
and in some passages displayed conspicuous me-
rit, particularly in the scene with the Friar, in
that with the Apothecary, and more particularly
in the Tomb scene with Juliet. His figure is
manly and well proportioned, and his face is re-
gular and expressive. His voice is very power-
ful, but, as he has not yet had practice sufficient
to adapt it to the large area of the Theatre, it
appeared occasionally somewhat harsh, perhaps
because he thought it would not be heard if it
had been less audible. His reception was highly
favourable throughout, and we are glad to find
that the diurnal Critics, who of course have their
partialities and prejudices, have uniformly agreed
in a just and liberal commendation of this Per-
former.---Mrs. WEST was very interesting in
Juliet, as indeed she is generally in all her cha-
racters. ELLISTON wanted no portion of the
vivacious levity" Of Mercutio; and the play in
general was well received.

Lord H AREIVO OD'S health is so much improved
by his return to Yorkshire, that his Lordship is
now enabled to take his airings on horseback
when the weather permits.
Yesterday the Duke and Duchess 'of BEAUFORT
entertained the Earl and Countess Fortescue,
Countess of Harrowby, Lady Mary Ryder, and
a select party, with a dinner, at their residence
in Grosvenor-square.
Yesterday the Earl and Countess of MANS-
FIELD entertained the Marquess of Buckingham,
Count and Countess Lieven, Baron Seguir, and
a large party of distinguished personages with a
dinner, at their seat at Comb Wood.
The whole interior of the Marquess of BATn.'s
house in Grosvenor-square, is taken to pieces,
and will be re-built, with new additions. During
the interval, the Noble Marquess and Marchio-
ness reside at the house of the Hon.
_F. and
Lady Elizabeth Campbell, .in Upper Brook-
street.
The baptism of the son and heir of Sir WATKIN
and Lady HARRIET WYNN was observed, on
Thursday last, at Oswestry, with great rejoicing.
Two oxen were distributed to the poor, amidst
the acclamation's of the multitude and the ririgiug
of bells ; and similar rejoicings took place in. all
the towns round Wynnstay.
Mr. YOUNG has again entered into a negocia-
'flin for his return to Covent-garden.--(Morning
Paper.) • • •
The dramatic veteran, MITNDEN) is again con-
fined to his room by a smart visitation of the
gout, which, it is feared, may prevent his appear-
ant;.: on the stage for sonic time.
This morning three -companies of the 13th
Foot, being the second'division, marched from
'the Castle, on their route to Ireland.—ThiS

DARING ROBBERY.--.-011 Tuesday evening,
about eight o'clock, as the husband of 'One of
the laundresses of the Spring-garden Hotel
was passing the end of Buckingham-court, lead-
ing into Spring-garden, he was attacked by
seven or eight men,_ who knocked him down,
and robbed him of a quantity of valuable linen,
belonging to that establishment, with which they
got clear off. Four known thieves„, accompanied
by two women, were seen lurking about Spring-
, garden.early
.that evening.
