ADELPHI THEATRE.
.....4.---

Little Miss Boorn, after all, is worth following, go
where she will, in her proper sphere, and it is no narrow
one; she is one of those few actresses who are really en-
titled to the name. Her appearance, therefore, at this
spirited little Theatre on Monday night, attracted our
attention quite as much as the new afterpieee, or bur-
letta as it is called, The Young Widotv, in which her
debut here was to be made. The piece itself is a laugh-
able pleasantry enough (of- French extraction we sup-
pose), the interest of which turns upon the tricks and
disguises with which the gay heroine sports with and
punishes the jealousy of her lover—first in the mar
querade dress of a military officer, in which the lover
mistakes his mistress for a rival; and afterwards in that
of an old woman, whom, in the desperation of his re-
venge, he somewhat oddly resolves to many ; but not
till after he had had the tables repeatedly turned upon
him, in his attempts to try the faith of his mistress ; first
by' dressing up his valet in the disguise of a dancing Mas-
ter, and afterwards is by a forged process of his death" by
three bullets driven through his head. The sagacious
Widow and her equally sagacious maid, are too cun-
ning for their two lovers, see through their deceptions,
aggravate their jealousy, and raise the laugh against
them unmercifully, till the proper time for unravelment
stud Matrimony arrive to give a happy termination of
the farce. The characters are only four, Mandeville,
Mr. POWER; Splash (his valet), Mr. Weepiest; Lucy
(the maid), Miss Panebee ; and Amelia Foirlove (the
Widow), Miss S. Boovn. And while we award the
praise to all of doing full justice to their respective parts,
we must acknowledge the last to be the star of the as-
cendant. The dancing scene to WRINCR'S burlesque
song, in his assumed character, was particularly happy,
and deserved the resolute encore it met with; and the
vivacity of her performance throughout, and that clear-
ness and propriety of utterance in which she Seldorts
fails, secured her a reception so warm, as may well in
duce the Managers to iegard her as a very valuable ao=
quisition to their company. The grand spectacle melo-
drame Vainfondi preceded ; and a thronged house, with
genteelly filled botes,proclairvied its unabated attractions.

Dn. CitAt.turtax.-11 is well known that the genius
and eloquence of this popular clergyman during his stay
in Glasgow, attracted immense crowds to his church,
and the feeling of disappointnient when a stranger
entered his pulpit was too visible for any Divine to mis-
take it. On one occasion, the Rev. Dr. L—, of A—,
having made an exchange with Dr. en—ALUMS, was so
.struck and irritated, on entering the pulpit, with the
reluctant advance of the assemblMg auditory, and the
quick retreat of Many from the pews, that he stood up,
and, addressing the cungiegation, said....“ We will not
bettin the public worship of GOD-ila Me *if blows nfir
We nee I riot say that these words had the desired effect,
and that the audience became stationary under this
severe rebuke.

On the 21st inst. the first meeting was held at Am-
sterdam Dia society for the moral improvement Of pri-
soners. From the Report, it appears that there are 32
towns in which branches of this society are established;
they have correspondents in `79 places, and the members
of the society amount in all to 4,398 ; their labours have
already been attended with favourable results.
YOUNG OPI R, TRES?. AGNES' ARTIST.—Though long
silent admirers of tht extraordinary talents of this de-
:trying youth, (who, if patronage and education could
be conferred upon him, would, doubtless, become an
ornament to the county), we have withheld our praise
until we could call public attention to some production
that would bear scrutiny, and prove that, amidst his
yet many faults, he inherits a very superior genius. He
has now finished a portrait of his younger brotheri for
a Gentleman at Axminster, an inspection of aihith, we
are of opinion, will induce the admireh of his late Uncle,
JOHN Omit, Esq. R.A. to conclude that the mantle of
that admired painter has descended upon the present
lad, and that strong touches of incipient genius are ob-
servable in this young artist, his surviving relation
His method and style are singular, as may naturally be
expected from an untaught youth of fourteen. His
colouring is clear and strong, with a great look of
nature, and he works with a good body of colours.
Effect appears to be his chief object, although in the
picture before us, that effect is made sufficiently sub-'
servient to his subject: there is much of force and
character in this production, yet the painter has happily
preserved all the natural softness to be found in the
countenance of a cherub-cheeked child. The young
artist is at resent engaged in painting two portraits of
himself, for Mr. EDGAR and Mr. BOsoitlE, of 8ri5t01.....

A town near Abbeville has lately supplied a vary
rare example of constancy. Two lovers, deeply at.'
cached to each other fi om the age of 18, could never
obtain the consent of their parents to their marriage.,
Not wishing to oppose the paternal will, rot violate their,
vows, they waited till death released them from the
obstacles which. opposed their union. At lengtW
this model of constancy and filial attachment has ter*'
minated the painful period of expectation in tying the
tender knot of Hymen. The husband is 65 years old,:
and the wife 59.
A. party of soldiers, from Manchester, arrived at
Carlisle Castle, on Tuesday, 'with John Armstrong, a
native of that city, in custody, he having deserted from
the 72d regiment, 'tow stationed at Edinburgh. While
in the guard-house, many old acquaint:trees called to see
him and he seized a *favoltrable opportunity on Ties-
day evening of 'making
.his escape from the sentinel
over him, passed the sentinel at the gate, and would have
got off altogether, (as the crowd did all they could to
impede the &tank of the soldiers), had not John Barnes,
an active police-tinker, happened to he nein- die scene
of uproar: be immediately gate chase, and corning tip
with the runaway at The back Of. the West Walls, se-
cured him. Armstrong is a noted character.

POFULATION OF WIrtEMPERG'.

STUTOIgO, OCTOBER 2e.
In the year 182$, the population of the kingdom of
•Wirtemberg amounted to 1,477,108 persons. From a
view of the. population from 1812 to 1822, it his
increased 68,067 persons, that is one half per cent. per
annum, which is not so great as might lase been in-
ferred from the results of single years. The number of
births was—
Males
Females

274,101 4
4594040
534,741

Total
The number of deaths was—
Males - -
Females - -

230,413
218,143 -
-m..0%

Total 448,06
Of the births 58,900 were illegitimate, or in the pro-
portion of one to eight. 2-25. About one-third of the
deaths are of children under one year old. The loss of
the population by emigration was 18,118 more than
the accession by migration. The amount of marriages,
on the average of ten years, was 243,799: and the
number of those annually solemnized was 9,851. Thus
it appears that the existing marriages (meaning mar-
Tied ecnrples) are as one to six of the population. One'
birth annually to four and a half families, and atcord-1
ing to the number of marriages contracted, 4 7-8
children to one marriage.

Two Frenchmen, accused of seducing the military,
have been conducted to Perpignan, to be placed at the
disposal of baron Rettenbourg, who commands the
division rif the Eastern Pyrenees.
A striking instance of the utility of Police Reports,
has lately occurred (and that, too, in an ex parte state-
ment) of a case at the Nlarv-la-bonne Office. Some
months since, a female child of twelve or fourteen years
of age, who bad been brought by a Gentleman from
JamaiCa and adopted as his own, experienced" such
treatment from a person in his family as amounted to a
series of outrages calling.for the interference of the Ma-
gistrates. The case was investigated at the above Office,
and the supposed offender held to bail. The whole
story found its way, without exaggeration, into the Pa.
pers, and attracted the attention of a Gentleman of high
rank and Chatacter, Who, in the end, obtained from the
parties A sum of 5001. as a compensAtion to the poor
child for the injuries she had received; and who has
since Been placed for education and support under the
eye of that Getitlenian's neat flit seat in the court-
try.. Thus tar the Newspapers were the means of res-
cuing this and from misery and ruin, and of placing'
her under the todst secure and desirable protection.
The advantage, however, has not ended here—tfie de-
tails in the London Papers found their way into those
ofJachaida, where they reached the eye of the mother
!of the child, who, being iri a situation to protect her,
:has written to a respectable mercantile house'-here to
send out the child to Jamaica, where it is probable she
will soon go.
A deputation froth the Dublin Coal Company waited
on the ',bid Mayor at the Mansion-house, on Thuisday
last, to meet a desire expressed by his Lordship, that the
poor of the city should be supplied with coals from their
establishment, by the single bag, at the same price isj
the ton. The deputation immediately acceded to hial
Lordship's wishes, and agreed to send daily fromilleir
establislinient a. waggon of coals, containing fo*
to the poorer quarters of the city, Where as bs
can now be obtained, as recommended by his Lordship,
adding only the customary charge for carriage.;-
Bet Ween thelicruis of four and five o'clOCEsiii-Thut se
day, about eighty journeymen stocking-weavas smear,
bled on Ormond-quay, Dublin. Peace-officer Gaily;
of the Head-office, promptly attended, with a pittyol.,
Police, and inquited of them the cause, of their 45.,
seMbling in that manner, in so public a thoroughfare?,
They stated that they met for the purpose of asking
Farrell, ab employer, if he would raise their wages.:—
On the peace officer remonstrating with them, and
telling then) that their conduct was illegal, they quietly
dispersed. On Thursday, a number of journeymen'
stocking-weavers entered the house of a woman named
Frances Clarke, in Grange Gorman-lane, and de-
Matided her stocking-frame, after which they beat
her and her son.

Tnc 1,31.a0c SWAN.—Two black swans were placed
at a great ciitioiity in the gardens of Malmaison ; they
bred, and the produie Was sent to Prince Eugene, at
Mania. SOthe tint, after, the females died, and a
white swan was put in the lake to supply her place ;
but neither time, nor the snow-white charms of his new
4mpaniOn, have had the least effect on the pride of the
sablb Monarch ; he turns froM her with disgust, will
,not suffer her to approach him, and !refers living in
perpetual widowhood to forming a Mesdliance.
Loco NAMEB.—The transatlantic branch of. the
of Braganca, seems determined to keep up the
family custom of long names. A Pr incess of Brazil,
daughter to the Emperor, hits latelt been clirkened,
who hears the name and title "of—Her Imperial Highness
Senhora Donna Franciica-learolina-Joanna-Cailotta-
Leopoldina-of the Angels-Romana-Xavier-de-Paula-
Miciella-Gabriella-Italaella-tionzaga. If the Empress
continues to bless Brazil with Princesses, and the Em-
peror is egodly liberal of names, he must soon exhaust,
the calendar. Without a proper explanation, the for-
ttrn:ite Prince who may hereafter obtain the promise of
the hand of Donna Francisca-Carolina -Joanna-Cal lotta-
LeopOltitia-Of tire A ngel s- Rom a rva Xa v i er-de- PAUI a-
