HAYMARKET.—A nes Comedy in three acts, was
brought out onSaturday under the title of Living in
London. The title of this piece has a more distinct
reference to its business than that. 'f most new plays.
To give us some idea of 44 Living in London," the
schemes, follies and vices, which, abound -in every
great metropolis, are pictured with a bold, and some-
met with a masterly hand. An agreeable assem-
blage of characters are brought before us, who are
snide to furnish a series of incidents not less pleasing
than various. The chat actior of an old usurer* who has
an annuity on the lite of a ,needy young spark of
fashion, and who takes him into his house, when in
distress, not from any benevolent motive, but in order
to a keep his soul avid body together." that reve-
*oes may not, be diminished. is remarkably well drawn.
A well-aneanhig Quaker, who has a taste, for wag-
gals and•whose habits and connections are not al-
ways in unison with the cut of hi coat ; and an old
sokiim who becomes his former Captain's servant,
and subsequently takes the disguise of a Doctor, are
also entitled to warm commendation. These charac-
ters are those which appear most prominent. The
others, though not merely introduced to fill up, have
no claim to particular notice. A Lord well stricktn
in years, now ferociously jealous of a young and
beautiful wife, and now dissolving in fond repels..
Lance for the injustice he has done her; an innocent
wife, whose c.nduet untoward circumstances incel-1
sandy conspire to make suspicious ; a fashionable
Bair, totally indifferent to each other, and only united
in ruinous extravagance and degrading dissipation;
and a sa indling gamester, in a Gentleman's coat, are
personages which cannot now awake much curiosity
or interest on or off the stage. In the Theatre these
with the thoughtless gay young madman,'who is the
hero id the piece, are among our most familiar ac-
quaintance. No talents could at this time of -day
give them great importance in a new Comedy; but
it is but justice to the Author of 4, Living in London,"
to say, grey are for the most part drawn with pro-
priety and vigour, and prove useful auxiliaries to the
more animated sketches which adorn his drama.—
The general muits of this play are so considerable,
that, with a little curtailment we think it will t tail
to prove eminently successful. We have seldrm seen
a play stronger in its cast. Every character was well

There were supposed to be collected on the occasion
one thousand people.—The prosecutor persisting in

HATTON?GIARIMINe•-•011 Saturday W. lVemyu, who
keeps a bookseller's shop in Bishop's-court. Chancery-
lane, was brought up in the custody of John Limb-
rick, the officer, charged on supicion of buying a
large quantity of parchment from Joseph Stevenson
Hill, apprentice to Messrs. R. Peacock and C. Dowse,
law-stationers, in Chancery-lane, knowing the same
to be stolen. It appeared that the apprentice was
examined in Friday, on suspicion of stealing a quay
Lily ot parchment from his master, and was commit-
ted for further examination ; after which he confessed
that the prisoner Wernyss advised him to steal the
. parchment, and said he should buy it. In c.)nie-
queoce of this statement, a search-warrant was ob-
tained, and J. Limbrick searched the prisoner's house
and shop in. Bishop's court, where he discovered a
large quantity of parchment in whole skins, and cut
up and stamped, which he brought, together with
Wemyss, to the Office. The value of the skins lost
by Messrs. Peacock and Dowse is about £35. Mr.
Peacock identified the parchment produced by the
officer as his property.—The prisoner was remanded.
MARLBOROI,7OII-STRIRIT.-0111 Saturday if .Triveasend
was brought up on a charge of burglariously entering
the house of Joseph Alders, Duke-street, Blooms-
bury. • The son of the prosecutor stated, that his fa-
ther and himself are working-jewellers; that on Sun.
day last his father and mother went out to climate
and lett him in care of the house. In the evening he
met the prisoner and two other lads, with whom he
went to drink at the Wheatslteaf public-house, in.
Drury-lane; he had previously locked the house;
dnor, and left the key in a place where his father,
should he return before Mm, would .know where to
find it. In the course of conversation, be meniioneel
where he had put the key. Shortly alter this, the
prisoner and one of his otheftompinions, W. Merry-
man, Went out, but said they would returaimmedi.
ately. This was at half-past eight: Lhe prisoner
did not return at all; Islet Merryman returned in an
hour, in a great heat. ; and at *eleven o'clock witae*
went home, where, on his arrival, he-found that his
rather and mother had got borne before him, and had
found that the house had been rubbed s three vies. of
gold brooches and other valuable articles having been
carried cif. The father was so much affected by the
circumstance, that he had ever:since lieen'confined to
his bed. The circumstance of the prisoner not• re.
turning to the public-house at the time appointed'
added to his being UM with .Merryman in Duke-
street about.nine o'clock on the night in question ex-
cited a suspicion that be had committed the robbery.
Toe witness consequently went to iris lodging:, and
on grung up stairs he saw a canery=bird, which hid
also bee*, stolen from his father's house, flattering
about the back-wind Ow. The prisoner was taken into
custody,-and afterwards, in the watch -Ouse, he told
the witness, that if he could pay the looney far which
the things had been sold, he would Wand get them.
It also further appeared, that Merryman had subse-
quently met the officer who had. the prisoner in cus-
tody, abused him most grossly, and said he would
not be able to make aoy thing of, the charge.—The!
Magistrate desired that Merryman, who is an old,
thief, might be taken into custody, and remanded the
prisoner.4or a further examination on Tuesday.

Mumma...A poor Farmer, of the name of Maim!.
land, was murdered en the 17th of February last, in
his own hote.e, in the neighbourhood. of Markethill,
County of Armagh. The unfortunate sufferer had
been at Belfast market to sell pigs, and, on his return
.home, being greatly fatiued, had retired to his bed,
where the inhuman. deed was perpetrated with a
hatchet: Mulholland's wife, and a•manof the name
of Edgar:, were charged with this horrid crime, and
tried for it at the last Armagh Assizes. The evi.
dence exhibited before the Coroner, and the examina-
tions taken before thi I%4i:trate% with othec corro-
borative testimony,' were produced, which left no
doubt of the fact, and the Jury brought in a verdict
of Guilty against both. Wednesday se'rtnight they
were executed in front of the new jal, Armagh; in
presence of an immense concourse of spectators, and
their bodies afterwards dissected ; previouf to their
execution they made a full confession of the horrid
deed, which was attended with every kind of atrocious
aggravation. Edgars, 'it appears, cohabited with the
wretched woman, and they coolly and deliberately
premeditated the barbarous. act ; ,tor which purpose,
three days Wore ii las perpetrated. they had • pro-
cured a hatchet, and waited the return of their inno-
cent victim from Belfast. When the poor maweres
fast asleep, ittigari soon dispatched him by repeated
blows on the head ; and upon his return to the guilty
woman in the .neat room, she asked hits if 'he had
truly finishs., tbe job ? •4 Aye, (said the murderer) if
he had twenty. lives, they are all out of hiasnovr.'
The saute wretch, it appears, was actually sent by
MulhoUend's wife, the day after themurder, to. shave
the head after deceased husband. Previous to .the
Assizes, it it understood that an offer was. made to
Mulholland's wile, that she should turn King's evi.
deem against Edgers s but suns, wretched adviser,
having old them that it they kept their own secret,
they could net be convicted, they were, fortunately
tor the came of justice, both put upon their trial, bud
convicted on evidence Chet left undottlot of thearguilt
in the mind 01 any one iu Come.
