COVENT-MIRDEN THEATAL

Wednesday night, the diverting Opera of le The
Lord of the Manor," was acted, and the curtain rose
to an audience quite as numerous as we have been
accustomed to see on the night of a new play. It was
almost impossible to obtain a single seat in the three
principal tiers. INCLEDON, SINCLAIR, FAWCETT, JONES
and LtsroN, were as effectise as usual ; and saying
this, it would he no easy task to pay them a higher
compliment. The only change in the cast was in the
part of Annette, in which Miss Bovrom is succreededby
Miss MATHEWS. The public may congratulate them-
selves on finding so able a substitute for their de-
parted favourite. Throughout the Opera she left
them little to regret. Always pleasing, she likewise
charmed with a display of vocal power, which called
forth rapturous plaudits from all parts of the house.
Last night the serious Opera of Artaxerxes, com-
pressed into two acts, was performed tor the purpose
of bringing forward a Miss STEEVENS in Mandan. In
this difficult character, which we have but seldom
seen attempted since Mrs. BILLINOTON left the Eng-
lish stage, Miss STEZVENS acquitted herself to the en-
tire satisfaction of the audience, and in this, which is
understood to be her first appearance on any stage,
she has established her claim to be considered a first-
rate singer. Miss &maven is of middle stature:
her figure is not bad, but rather en bon point ; her
voice is powerful and.melodious, and capable of fur.
fishing an astonishing variety of harmony. A more
promising candidate for vocal honours has not come
before us for many years. To say the audience were
much gratified, were saying too little : they were ab-
solutely in raptures, and were frequently incapable of
deferring, even to the close of a verse, the fervent ex-
pression of their unqualified approbation. Her songs
were regularly called for again : three of thee n she
was obliged to repeat; and singing them twice would
hardly have sufficed, had she not appeared so nearly
exhausted, that humanity opposed itself to the loud
expression of the desire felt to hear them yet again.
Miss RENNEIII as the representative of Artaxerxes,
was vtry successful. The song of ,4 In infancy our
hopes and fears," she sung in a most effective style.
INcLanoN merited and obtained great applause in
Artabanes, and SineLaza was much admired is some
parts of .Arbacer.

In the Afterpiece of The Wedding Day, TERRY took
the character of Sir Adam Contert; and in this gave
himself a new claim to public apWobation. It was
a chaste, easy performance throughout.

BREAD, SHORT or WEIGIIT.—A number of per-
sons were brought up to Guildhall yesterday, on
charges of having loaves of bread in their posses-
sion short of the legal weight ; and after hear-
ing them, the Magistrate expressed his determination
to punish to the full extent of the penalty. To rob
the poor in this way, particularly in so important an
article as that of bread, was scandalous in the ex-
treme; he should do all in his power to bring such
offenders to justice, and. to make their names public,
in order that they might be known and avoided. In
the instances before him to-day, he was sorry to see
that there was a studied and deliberate intention, for
each loaf was short to a given extent.
A Baker residing on Snow-hill, and calling himself
a cheap-bread baker, was fined for about forty ounces
short weight, in the full penalty of ss. per ounce.
The bread had been taken from different chandler?
shops, but he acknowledged the whole of it, and un-
dertook to pay the penalties. In two twopenny
loaves, there was a deficiency of nearly three ounce,;
and in only eight threepenny and three twopenny, there
was a deficiency of twenty six ounces!
A chandler's shopwoman WAS also summoned, for
having one quartet n loaf and two bait quartern loaves
in her shop deficient four ounce:. She had bought
them of a baker at Cow-cross. —The Baker appeared,
and said the bread might be his; he believed it was
his, it looked like it; but he w ul I not pay the pe-
nalty, as he had net been summoned.

_ .......
All the bread (an immense quantity) was ordered
to be Pen to the poor.

arising from any other cause, by which the powers of the eons&

Messrs. Goss and Co. exclusively professing the cure of then
particular complaints, in order that they may not be. by a
mistaken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to
the ignorant empiric, think It but justice to themselves to state
that they have been properly educated and initiated into every
branch of the profession (certifiattes of which from different
Hospitals, and testimonials from the most eminent PLysteiane,
they have to convince any inquirer) that the success resulting
from their endeavours first induced them to quit the pract—e of
the general Practitionet, anel they presume that their pretensions
constitute a lair ground for the unprecedented confidence with
which they have, by the Public, been so liberally honoured.
The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled these,
by a superior method, to remove venereal complaints, betimes,
inveterate or complicated, without subjecting the patient urtilla
least restraint in diet or clergies; and In recent Cases where as
early application is made on discovery of the Infection, they fra.
queerly perform a cure in the s'aort space of two days. The sup
precedented success of their mode of treatment (which has never
been known to fail In one single instance in a practice of I d years,
during which period many thousand persons of both sexes have
been cure 1, even after severe and4njurious met' otis had been
pursued by other Practitioners without effect), induces theta to

MAit 'AGE should be the foundation of bocial
Happiness, which Is often disturbed through the parties
that form the union not taking those precautions which would**•
cure them the enjoyment of that great domestic blessing. People
of every rank pay adoration to the shrine of wedlock ; but where
the constitutiou has been tainted by dizelse, or debilitated by a
certain habit contracted at an early age, a renovation of stability
previous to entering that state is iudispensibly requls!te to revive
the slumberir.T spark! of life, and to reanimate the system. For
no disorders have contributed more essentially to destroy lime-
neat happiness than those which are thecoosequence of unguanlA
orastire. It sits this oonsideration which induced Messrs.
CURILIE and Co. for these. last twenty years, to direct their Stu-
dies and pt active exclusively to the treatment and cure of the 'Ve-
nereal Disease, and the disorders arhing therefouu, as also to that
derangement of the system, produced by the destructive habit of
the inconsiderate school-Zioy, which brogs on those ti•strev•ng
Debilities and Deficiencies that prevent or embitter the Matri-
monial state. The successful result of their plan, gives them
additional ardour to oppose the ravages of these complaints„
whicb are the most important in the analogue of human infir.
mitles. It behoves every person who has itdolged in this soh.
