DRURY.LANE THlll%Talaw.Tho Unknown Gue: was
repeated List night to a erosaded audience,' vit'u tes-
tified their setistadtiOn with- the performance by re-
peated plaudits. Mr. BRAHAM imparted increased
spirit and effect to the character which he personated,
and completely falsified the adage 64 that singers are
not actors." Ile was loudly encored in “ The hue
to the,toils pursued," which was gieen in his boldest
manner. Mrs. DICKOSS war squally successful, and
equally rewarded.
COVENT-GARDEN.---A new ifftelViSCeataed LOOS
in Limbo, was last night priiduced at this Theatre.—
The story is Spanish,, and the scene is laid in one of
the Colonies ; the GoiernOr of which, a Lieutenant-
General, Simmons, has become deeply enamoured of
a young Lady, Donna Graciano, Miss Foatz ; bat
is entirely unsuccessful in his suit, owing to the ri-
valry 'of his nephew, Don Alphonso, JOSS % a Cap.
lain in the General's regiment. Irritated at his ne-
phew for his interference, he determines to remove
him by sending him to Old Spain with dispatches.
The nephew, however, refuses to obey hii uncle's
orders, and is, in consequence of his disobedience
committed to the custody of an old sergeant named
Bobo, MATHEWS, and kept a close prisoner in the
Castle. His Mistress contrives to get admission to,
him in the dress Of a Hussar Officer ; but being dig-
covered bill* General, she also is committed to the
sift keeping of Bobo. The interest of the piece then
arises out of the stratagems adopted by the Lovers,
•while thus in limbo, to accomplish their escape.—
In this they fail, but by the aid of the gaoler's dan4h-
ter, and a soldier who is her admirer, they contrive
to get a Frier into the Castle ; and, during the ab-
sence of the Governor, they practice on the simpli.
city of Bobo, adopt the old schema of making him
drunk, and doling his insensibility his keysare taken
from him by • his daughter; the prisoners are libe-
rated I. a double marriage takes p?ace, that of Don
Alphozso and Donna Graciano, and Isabella, B3bo's
slaughteb to Stephano, her . humble admirer. The
Govivaor returns at this instant, but finding his ne-
phew is already married, and that all further resist-
ance to their union would be in vain, he pardons his
nephew, and the piece concludes with the usual bar-
nuany. Martiews was irresistibly laughable in the
chiracter of the Old Soldier; Simmons, as the Go-
vanor, and JONES as the young Lover, gave all the
effirt possible to thcir partsi. a,td Mrs. Gums, and
Miis FOOTS were deservedly applauded. The piece
cxperieaced some opposition in its progress, but was
given out' for repetition with a great majority in its
favour.

The receipts of the Glasgow Theatre, on the two
first nights of Keat.'s performance, amounted to one

The a•taclamtnt between Mr. VEasota and his
charming bride was formed on the Continent, where
Lord LUCAN was a-resident with his family. Upon

WHIMSICAL ADVENTUSE-7--Thesday, a party of
lioliday folks, lads and lasies, after seeing the proces-
L'on of the Lord•Mayorrirc. going to Christchurch,
vaned down Warwick-lane, on their way to Tothill-
fiAls fair, when they were interrupted by a drove of
sheep ; at the same time a man with a tub of bullocks
blood on his head stood close to them. A sheep hav-
ing darted from the fl )ck ran between Cie man's legs,
and throwing him on his back, the can of blood went
all onr the muslin dresses of the-lasses, and the new
clothes of the young lads, rendering them very piteous
objects. After striking several beholders, who were
ignorant of the circumstance, with horror, they with
much difficulty obtained a hacktsey-coach ant Ltsd-

.ifftEJUT TV STILILTIA CROWN . ; .
:•••=MIONIINON
A singular and most daring attempt to steal
Crown at the Jewel Office, in the Tower, was
Sesterday afternoon about-two o'clock, by to w
meanly dressed, who, under pretext of viewing .•
Regalia, gained admittance, and made a seisms of
the diadem, by thrusting hex arm through the '
11
bars, which are placed for security :.the attempt
however, rendered futile, by the Crown being much
too large to admit id being forced through them,
and though much bruised by the violence of the grasp,
yet fortunately none of the jewels were tinsel. The
female appoihted to exhibit the Regalia fainted, an
alarm was instantly given, the woman secured, and
conveyed from the Tower in a hackney coach to the
Police Office.

WESIMINSIER SESSIONS.

The LATE Disvonnwes.—TheGrand Jury found'
true bills agains Thomas Hobbs and Wm. Adolphus
Home, for riotous conduct, in breaking windows of
the Committee Rooms belonging to the House of
Commons. They are pot charged capitally, only
with having been guilty of a misdemeanour. The
parties are out on bail. • •
The indictment preferred against John Cotrfe, the,
man who was followed from Sir Joseph Banks's
house to a public-house in Bainbridge-street, Saint
Gile►'s, and apprehended with a bundle of Sir Joseph's
papers on him, was thrown out, after considerable.
investigation. Sir Joseph's butler was very fully ex-
amined, as to all the circumstances of the disgraceful
scenes that took place fronting and within the house.
It appeared, that the mob mistook Sir Joseph's house
for that of Mr. Banks, the Member. The ipdic:ment
against Currie was not for stealing the papers found
upon him, but for a misdemeanour, in being guilty
of riotous conduct. •

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FItOXI AMSTERDAM, DATED

MARCH 25, 6 r.ar.
" This moment I learn that the memorable traitor,
Admiral Verheul, and General Daendels, late Go-
vernor of Batavia, have been detected in a conspiracy
to buy over our troops to the cause of Bonaparte.—
They have been &Alt prisoners to the Hague. The
former had arrived in Holland from Paris since 80.
naparte entered it, and, no doubt, was sent here fol.
the diabolical purpose above-mentioned. Three or
four persons have been arrested for making distur-
bances and calling out " Vive Napoleon." 'l'u-morrow
the Duke of Wellington is expected here."
The Dutchess of OItLEANs, who has now sonAht
shelter in England, is the datiAhter of the late Queen
of NAPLES, and the niece of the unfortunate Queen
of France, MARIA ANTOINETTF«

Several of the English residents in the vicinity of
Bourdcaux have arrived at Cues nsey and Jersey.—
They give favourable accounts of the loyalty and at-
tachment of the people to the Bounno%s, and a civil
war is considered hiefitable. l'ke Duke of ..Awnou

many other diseases are occasioned thus. A child

yoild the reach of medicines in a few days it expired.
On examination, it proved vermin were the cause.—
