• • COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. .
The Tragic Play of Pissarro was last night reply-
.
tented. Mr. YOUNG supported the character of the
Pei uvian Hero, Rolla,wi.h towering force and energy.
The Address to the Soldiers was delivered in a
grandly impressive style. The patriotic sentiments
with which it abounds, were enthusiastically apple*.
ded by the audience, who appeared to feel them more
warmly, in consequence of the recent events which
have occurred on the Continent, where the most ruth-
less invader of modern times has learned what it is to
c"utend with an united nation. Mrs. *Gillum, kr
• th- first time, at this Theatre, sustained• the character
of Etvira. She acquitted herself with great ability.

-$ ,filently powerful, to give complete effect to the
• 1014 d.-clamation 'in which Elvis's oct.lsionally in-
dull,;es ; hut these fears were speedily dispelled, and
. we derived much pleasure from Mrs. *Gums%
spirited elocutiOn in the passionate scenes, as well as
ham her delineation of remorse and grief, in those of
'si more pensive description. She was teceived,
throughout the evening, with every demonstration of
satisfaction and pleasure.—The Barletta of Midas
followed ; between the acts of which, the audience
(one cf the most crowded we have witnessed this
season), elated by the success of Lord WELLINGTON,
called for Gou save the King," which was imme-
diately sung by the Deities and Mortals connected

BOXING.—A very severe battle, of two hours du-
ration, was fought on Saturday, in Appleton Mea.
dows, near the.village of Appleton, Herts, betwixt
George Coles, a coachman, and Christopher Abbot,
who had acquired a knowledge of setting-to of Rich-
mond the Black. The combatants were-twelve-stone
mt• .4iid not a round closed but what was stubbornly
contested. Abbot gave much punishment by strait•
left-handed hits at the head, and although he met
vitally hard blows, yet he availed himself of science,
• and won by blinding his adversary, in 100 rounds.—
The next match to be decided will be between Alex-
andet s, the game-keeper, an athletic man of &straw,
on the list of Joe Ward's school, and Painter, Greg-
sou's Lancashire man, who beat Coyan, in the vici-
nity of Margate.
FIRE.--Sunday morning, abodt two o'clock, a
dreadful lire broke rut at No. 105, High-street,
Shad.. ell. The flaw, s were first discovered from
'without, and before the alarm was communicated to
those within, the lowr part of the house was in one
entire blaze, and fast communicating with the upper
floor. Several respectable females lodged in the first
and second floors. Ode of them jumped out at the
first floor window without being much hurt, and
another from the second -flew -with a child in her
arms, who bad her 'thigh broke, though the child
was preserved. The mother was carried to the Lon-
don Hospital with brit little hopes of recovery. The
premises in question were completely burnt to the
ground, and the houses adjoining on each side mate-
rially injured.
• Goienime.—Yesterday thirty-six more tailors, in
the employment of Mr. Moberly, in Thames-street,
were brought to this Office, charged on suspicion of
being costumed in the extensive conspiracy to rob
that Gentleman. Mr. CoNsr and Mr. GURNEY, for
the prosecution, applied for leave to put off their
'examination till this day, in order that they might
be brought up with the nine already in custody. 1 his
was agreed to.
7'. Harem, a drover in Smithfield, was brought
up by Mr. NALoER, the City Marshal, charged
with wantonly striking a bullock on the heel so violent
a blow, that the poor animal was rendered incapable
of putting his foot to the ground for several minutes.
Fur this offence, and for having his badge effaced,
he was fined 40s.—The worthy Alderman (Connor.
aERE) commented in most humane and suitable
terms on the cruelty exercised by such men as the pri-
soner towards those animals, which though intended
to be slaughtered for the food of man, should, never--
theless, be treated with all possible humanity.—Mr.
N.ilder stated, that he had seen this species of cruelty
so frequently and unnecessarily committed in the
market, that he was now •determined to apprehend
every person he should discover so offending.
A man last week attempted to murder his wife at
Gainsboroagh, by administering arsenic in her break-
fast. Fortun4tely the dose being very powerful, in-
duced the woman, who suspected that she was poi-
soned, to apply for medical advice. She has since
recovered, and the man has 'absconded.
GLASGOW, OCTOBER M.... The Circuit Court of'
Justiciary was yesterday opened by the Loan JUSTICE
CLERK and Lord Soasorit. The Court was held in
the elegant public buildings which have just been
completed, and of which the LORD JUSTICE CLERK ob-
served, that nothing so complete with regard to mag-'
nificence and accommodation would probably be
found in this country : and that certainly it was the
most complete public building in Scotland.
Jam: Jackren, accused of murder, was then brought
to the bar, when the Advocate for the Crown deserted
-the diet pro loco re tempore, and the prisoner WAS re-
&ciliated on a new warrant.

in consequence of which she died a few hours after.
