THETTE7TRES.

For these few years past, or at least since the last Co.

great a demand for admis►ions to :be above places og moose.

tickets would be distributed between ten and two o'clock at
the bez-ollices. &steely, however. had the clock struck
eletien, than boards were put up, announcing that all the ad-
missions were disposed of. That they wete not disposed of
in a niggardly manner, may be pined from the fact envy

behaved company.

HAY3IARICIET.
This, among other Theatre' now in operation, wt. thrown
open gratuitously to the public last night. Thu atintimion
was by tickets, and the whole was as well arranged as could
be at all expected, but, nevertheess, It may be imagined
that the house at the rise of the curtain presented the ap-
nat of a very motley, murky, though merry medley.
We observed no disorders of any kind, be)ond the usual
inhibitions on Easter blooday or at Christmas, and the au-
dience genetally, as they came to see • play, seemed re.
solved to see it as undiaturbedly as the nature of things
would allow.

The performances were, first, Kenney's laughable coed
Stetethearls and Wives, followed by Townley's High t
e
below Nlairs, and they were both relished to excess by tld
spectators. Perhaps Hooke's Erehantie no Robbery might
have been better chosen if there had been any performer to
have played Sass Swipes—a character with whose peculiari-
ties the audience might reasonably have sympathised. In
the course of the evening.' GOD save the King, and ' Rule,
Britannia,' were sung ty the company, on and off the stage,
with a vast deal of hearty energy, if not good taste; but
Handel's Welcome, Welcome, Mighty King,' was not so
well understood, and therefore not so well relished. The
Coronation Anthem was also performed, and the bill stated
that it was to be given with "double chorus, as performed
this day in Westminster Abbey ;" but we apprehend that
the resemblance was not quite so strong as was wished by
the Managers.
ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY, ADELPHI.
The company assembled at this Theatre were amused last
night by the performances of The Evil Rye, Oldand Young.
and The Middle Temple. The Theatre was as full as it
could conveniently be, and the company were very respecta-
ble. In the distribution of tickets, either by chance ur de-
sign, some distinction of persons seemed to have be. n taken,
and the gradations of boxes, pit. and gallery appear d nearly
as much preserved as on other nights. The audience were in
the highest good humour, and the performers exerted chem.
selves with even more than usual energy. John Reeve never
played with more spirit, nor were his jokes ever better taken.
In the course of the evening, God save the King, and Rule
Britannia were sung by the dramatic company, and warmly
chorussed by the audience.
_ _

ASTLErS THEATRE.
This house was crowded by motley groups, who seemed
desirous of expressing their loyalty in every possible way.
The National Anthem and " Rule. Britannia," were called
for and played, after ifaseppa, which was acted. we believe.
the 105th time. Duerow gave him scenes in the circle, in
which he acted his " Tar's vicissitudes," on his favourite
horse, to the delight of all. The Elephant, and the Hai le-
quinade of Mother Red Cap, concluded the entertainments
of the evening. When they had ended, many of the com-
pany locked to Vauxhall Garden., where they kept up to a
late hour the unusual festivities of the day.
COBU RG.
The performances at this theatre were The Victims of St.
Vincent, The Orphan qf Paris, and a grand display of
Hue-works, in which were introduced various appropriate de-
vices. The Gods were somewhat boisterous In calling for a
hornpipe.

Pedlar's .ore, Dead Shot, and a short farce, were the
entertainments selected for last night. The Surrey has not

THE FIRE-WORKS IN HYDE PARK.
His Majesty having been graciously pleased to command
that a display of Fire-works should he exhibited in Hyde
Park in the evening, prepared's. on an extensive scale
were immediately entered into. A large circumference of
ground, a shalt remove in the rear of the Statue of Achilles,
was paled of, in which were deposited about a dozen anii.
levy mum-loads of fire works. Long before night had
throws bet sable mantle on the scene, many thousand persons
had assembled, and they gradually kept increasing until there
could not have been fryer than between 18 and 20,000 pre-
sent. The anziously.wished-for exhibition did not corn.

nomad the commencement of the display. This was Suc-
ceeded by a grand discharge of bombs, catherine wheels,
blue lights, serpents, and other descriptions of fire-works,
which continued the exhibition for nearly two hours. The
vast multitude appeared highly delighted with the pyro-
technic display, which surpassed the most sanguine tepee.
tattoos of many.
Several accidents occurred last night in Hyde Park during
the time the fire-works were going off, in consequence of
the rocket-sticks, which were of an unusual else, falling with
great force upon the beads of the populace. Six lads were
conveyed to tit. George's Hospital more or less injured—two
of them, apperesdy about 15 or 16 years of age, are severely
lacerated—ens across the left temple, and the other Dear the

persons also received blows by the rocket-nicks, one of
which perforated a lady's bonnet, and knocked bee down ; a
comb being in her hair prevented her sustaining any lusher
injury.
Among others who suffered from this cause was a young
man,a printer, in she employ of Mr. Watt, of Pickettplace,
who had his nose and lips severed from his hes.

r.w• a Mieturine.— Sept atber.
W only rery lately the August number
'At'ittlinit.ilifine. and for procrastinating our, duty
late last month, we are induced to take time by
the ffirelnek on the present. And we are tempted
do this the more by perusing the first spirited
-1 t;cle neml,er on the " Influence of the
Kew sraners." We shall make some extracts from
this a-gels. which we think contains much salutary
altlionch commixed with a strain of political
reasoninfr with which we cannot a'ivays coincide.
Its etitiques on our morning coat mporaries are
pungent, perhaps, in some instances, too much so.
They are accused of accommodating their princi-
ples to the taste of their readers. and, no doubt. it
is 7 true to a certain degree : but may they not often
ermseientionslv accord with public sentiment ?
While we often admire the ability, we as often con-
demn the swaggering arrogant manner of the
Ti tap , and its pompous pretensions render its obser-
vations -tore conspicuons—but even at the risk of
!wing classed among, twaddlers, we shall not con-
ceal the expression of our satisfation at perusing
the argumentative and benevolent strain of reason-
hi; which frequently distinguishes the Herald,and
the mounting independence of the Chronicle. But
the author admits that " the abasement of the re-
neetable portion of the Press, it caused solely by
the fi. A reemlations and the oppressive imposts of
government."
We are delighted to hear this from the pen of a
w• its ao partial to the party, in whose principles
the accursed taxes on knowledge originated. We
trust o e are to see them removed during the pre-

dent S ,sion.
The following is forcibly and truly said of the
Corrc,:cy Bill of Sir Robert Peel :
Tile crowning evil—thanks to Sir Robert Peel—that 4
which has struck at the marrow of society—that which has
Wos n nut the furnaces in the iron districts, and compelled
the ho tn. rand µratio to pay their rent out of their stock—
that ich has ruined every small manufacturer;,and este-
blights] the truck system, is—The Currency Bill ! Do we
make it a matter of accusation against the working daises,
er the " enligh ened people,' that they did not understand
nor foresee the consequences of this measure ? By no
means. They knew as li tie upon this subject as did the
honourable the representatives of the nation. The flippant
talker in the Commons' Rouse of Parliament—the all.wise
treatisesver.der of political economy—the gabbier against
i• filthy rags"—the Blue coatsschool boy.of the Times. age-
Twine cockney in mind and manners,' strong in its lungs,
and impudent as well as wicked—none of these watts,
receiving their wages in gold or bank notes. and estimating
the resources of the nation by the thumbouldsnall rules of
Fleet-street and Chespatde, knew any thing of the fatal Con-
sequences of this measure. It was no sooner passed, how.
ever, than it deranged the Allies of every man in business.
It wounded public credit in the moat vital part. It gave the
large capitalist unlimited conteoul in the market, and can.
pellet' the active and industrious manufacturer, whose com-
petition was salutary in restraining monopoly, either to re-
tire from business, or become the mere furnisher of those
who could bike advantage of his cm...mammon'. By this
nefarious and cruel hill, t' e value of a fixed annuity was
doubled—the mortgagee was placed at the mercy of the
lender—the salaried official had his income increased fifty
per cent—the taxes were doubled, and wages and profits,
among the middle classes, were reduced one half. This bill,
in short, laid the foundation of all the privation and suffer-
ing we have endured as • nation since 1819. From that year
may it stand aye accursed in the calendat I—to the pre.
sent, we have been rapidly declining as a commercial pea.
pie; contending with difficulties which we, being a nation
of philosophers, ascribed to other causes ; meeting fresh emr
h:terassments at every reduction of taxation, and finding our
coats becoming more bare, and our comforts more narrowed,
and our profits more reduced, and our wages verging nearer
the starving point, without ever once dreaming of the real
cause. or compelling the minister of the day to institute an
it quill.
No. 3, on " Parliamentary Elonuence" is ex-
tronely witty, but too personal to he always ap-
li The review of Taylor's " Historic Survey
of German Poetry," is a valuable critique ; and there
are several other excellent and amusing articles.

THE ARBET.A FRAGMENT.
A reeling sad came o'er me, as I trod the sacr.d ground
Nt here Tudors at d Plantager.ets were lying all around :
I steep 'd with noiseless foot, as though the sound of mortal
tread
Might burst the bands of the deranges' sleep that wraps
the mighty dead!
The slanting ray of the evening sun shone through those
cloisters pale,
With fitful fight, on regal vest and warrior's sculptured
mail ;
Ai from the stained and storied pane it danced with quiver-
ing gleam,
Each cold and prostrate form below seem'd quickening in
the beam.
Now sinking low, no more was heard the organ's solemn
;/ swell,
e faint upon the listening car the last hosanna fell :
1i Iled—aand not a breath did stir ; above each knightly
stall,
Unmoved, the banner'd blazonry hung waveless as a pall.
It 'ood alone—a living thing midst those that were no
•
more.—
tlidaght on ages that were past, the eletious deeds of
yore—
Ott
,Edward's sable panoply, on Cresay's tented plain,
The fatal Roses twined at length, on great Mixes relive.
I thought on Blenheim—when, at once, upon my startled
elf

There came a sound; it chi ed my veins, it froze my heart
•• with fear,
Ai -from a wild unearthly coke I heard these accents

" &tyke is dont.--It's tuppence now fir them as vante to
stop!"

Sometime ago, a clergxulau residing, no matter
where, went to a blacksmith's ;hop, and, on finding the Inas.
ter front home, who had gone to. or was in the act of going
to church, intimated to his servant he must stand prepared to
put a shoe on his horse by the time the services of the day
were ended. Vulcan btareti, at d ti en excused himself, by
stating what was true, that they had no iron shoes ready
made. " Theo you oust just make one," was the imme.
diate arswcr, uttered of course in the imperative mood.
As ti is was really " too bad," the lad shrugged up his
shoulders, examined die horse, and then told his reverence
that, in place of one shoe, it would require two. " Set to
work then to make thou," was the next pithy speech ; and
it is a positive fact that the lad felt constrained to do as he
was bid, and that the clergyman mounted his yad the mo.
meet the " kirk &Wed," and went on his way—we lup.
pose rejoicing. His conduct, however, was freely can.
teased, and will not speedily be forgotten in a certain
village, of rather a large district pf countryd—Dvalfries

PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.

NORMIAJIPMMIII PREIS.
In the Morsieg Post of this last week appeared a letter
dated from Long Buekby, signed "T. P. L.' reflecting
eery strongly upon Lord Milton for the conduct he pursued
upon the Reform Bill. Prom the local date and initials,
the Tory party have been very busy in asserting that it was
written by Mr. Lucas, the highly respectable Solicitor, of
Long Buckby, and seconder to the nomination of Lord Mil-
ton at the late general election. We have authority to state,
that Mr. Lucas is not the writer of the letter, and that the
language it contains is diametrically opposed to the senti-
ments he entertains of the parliamentary conduct of the
Noble Levi. If by these means it is attempted to
Mr. Lucas's public character, as well as to lessen the opinion
which the freeholders of the county of Northampton enter.
tain of that high-minded statesman Lord Milton, they have
missed their mark—the knavishness of the transaction is
exposed, and the name of the writer we hope to be in the
possession of, as Mr. Lucas has written to the Editor of the
Morning Post to ascertain it.
Holism MURDER NIAR Weetronu.—Ere the first In.
tense thrill of horror which must have been excited In the
public mind by the dreadful details of the butchery of a
female at Brighton, can have subsided, it has become our
painful duty to record another crime of murder, committed
upon a young and unoffending female at the little seques-
tered village of Sibbertoft, near Welford, in this county.—
The victim was Mary Cheney. or, as she was more com-
monly called, Mary Wright, the latter surname being that
of her father. She was an illegitimate child, and her
mother's name at the time of giving birth to her was
Cheney, but she has since married a labourer named Grant,
who is uncle to the wretched man now lying in Northamp-
ton gaol, under the dreadful charge of murdering the poor
girl. The murderer, William Grant, is, according to his
own account, 41 years old ; he has been in the marines, but
was discharged on account of deafness, with a pension of
245. per quatter, and has since been residing in this his na.
tive village. The girl was 20 years old, and of prepossess..
ing appearance : notwithstanding the disparity of years, the
prisoner conceived an ardent attachment for her, and not
meeting a corresponding return, jealousy and rage took pos-
session of his breast, and hurried him to the commission of
the fool crime for which he is now called upon to answer. The
prisoner's mother died last week, at the advanced age of 70
and wax thus happily spared the bitter pang of witnessing her
eldest son hurried from his native village on a charge of
murder. She was buried on Sunday, and it should seem
that the refusal of the deceased to walk with the prisoner In
the funeral erne:talon was one of the circumstances which
rankled in his breast. The deceased was servant to Mrs.
Manton, and on Tuesday evening last was sent by her
mistress to Mr. Bates, in the village for some berm, when
she meet the prisoner, who accompanied her on her way
home and when in a nitherretired part of the lane leading
to her mistress's, suddenly drew out a knife and stabbed her
repeatedly in the neck and breast. The screams of the poor
girl brought a I arson named Holman to her assistance. who
secured the prisoner as he was in the act of kneeling on the
g1:1 and repeating his blows. The girl died the next day ; and
the same evening the prisoner was fully committed to North.
ampton Gaol for the murder, by Mr Ward, a magistrate
residing at Guilsborough Grange; to whom information of
the frightful event was promptly conveyed, and who came
over about two o'clock on the Wednesday afternoon, and
held an enquiry into the subject at the house of Mr. Smea-
ton, in the village. The enquiry lasted till seven o'clock at
right, and the result was the full committal of the prisoner,
who the same evening was conveyed in a poet-chaise, pro.
cured at the Talbot Inn, Welford, to Northampton, accom-
panied by the constable (Richard Cleaver), and Edward
Chown. They reached Nortbampton about half-put II
o'clock, and the gaol being then fina'ly closed for the night,
were constrained to step at the Cross Keys Inn till next morn-
ing. The prisoner slept in the same bed as the constable, to
whom he was secured by a hand-bolt. On the previous
night the prisoner slept in the same custody, upon some
chairs at the Red Lion Inn, at Stbbertoft, and waking in the
middle of the night, looked at his hands, which were then
bloody, and exclamed, " Where am 1, what have I been
doing ?" The stains of blood, and they were numerous upon
the prisoner's person, were not allowed to be washed away
till after his committal to gaol. The father of the wretched
man has reached the advanced age of SO, and has lived all
his life in the village, where he Is much respected for his sta-
tion in life, that of a labourer, and it was mentioned at the
inquest, to his high credit, that he had never applied for or
received a single penny in the shape of parothial relief.
IP Mr. Jacob Smith, surgeon, of Welford, before the luggage,
deposed that he was sent for on Tuesday evening, me sae
the deceased about half-past seven o'clock, at her atstbses
cottage. She was stre:ched 04 a bed on the Seer, aid bed
her clothes on, which were completely deluged wltb bleed.
She was perfectly sensible, and in answer to a question frogn
him as to who had hurt her replied William Grant:
There were several persons about her at this tine. On exa.
mining her person he found 5 wounds on the throat, and 2 in
the chest, from most of these wounds blood was axing. There
were also four caniderable wounds on hex bands, besides a
great many scratches. lie dressed her wounds, tad ft-
matet-d with her till eleven o'clock at night. He had in-
tended remaining all night, but was at that hour called
upon to attend a patient about eight miles distant. He
returned and saw the deceased twice the following
day ; the first time was about nine o'clock in the morn
kg, and he then perceived air escaping front the wound
on the left side of the chest. lie observed that she
laboured under a difficulty in breathing. She was
still sensible. No !loud had towed from the wounds
sirce be dressed them the previous eve Meg. He
gave her an opiate, ar.ei left her. He saw her again
skint wo o'clock, and stand her in a State of delirium. He
continued with her tall about three o'clock, when he was
sent for to attend Mr. Ward, tie magistrate, who had cone
ewer from Gilsborough Gra' ge to take the dei.usitittos of
tie witnesses in the case. His next visit to the deceased
was about six o'clock that veering, and he then found
her dead. lie had since, in the presence of Mr. Hey-
gate, surgeon, of Market Harboruugh. made a post
merles, examination of the body. The eruuuds on the
neck were incised wounds; the lowest was two inches
long, and that next above w.s four inches and a halt
lung ; on the right extremity of this wound was
a large opening into the ebb: sternuljegviar vein. Above
was another wound five inches long. The other wounds on
the tuck were superficial, dividing the skin and fascist bat
no muscles. Between the first and second rib was an oblique
puncture, about halt an tech in leugth,which had perlotat
into the left side of the chest ; there was a corresponding
wound on the left lobe of the lungs, and about a pint of
water and serum in the cavity. On the right side of the
chest, below the collar bone, was another sin:ibis puncture,
and there was about the same quantity of blood and scum
collected there.

Ansow.—We are grieved to have to state the occurrence
of a fire at the village of Oakington, in this county, and which
was occasioned by the felon band of a vile incendiary. On
Monday evening Air. Day, a respectable farmer of the vil•
lege, gave his hawks, or merry-making to his harvest men;
and while the people were enjoying themselves and pass.
lag round the foaming tankard, same villains fired the
stack-yard, thus converting a scene of testi:sty into one of
consternation. The fire commenced on the side of the
tick-yard the most remote from the house, about mid-
way down, and ins situation the best calculated to effect the
most extensive devastation. Happily the wind blew
strongly in such a quarter as to drive the flames from the

direction of the farming places. Three ricks, one of wheat,'
one of beans. and (we believe) one of dower, situate in the
direction of the wind, were entirely consumed in a compara-
dvely short space of time. By the prompt exerdons of
the neighbou:s, who covered the adjoining ricks with blan-
kets, which a plentiful supply of water enabled them com-
pletely to saturate, the firs was prevented from extending
further and it is matter of moth surprise that, unaided by
a fire engine, they were able to save a wheat case, width
was only separated from the wheat rick first oat fire, or
rather connected yids it, by a small shed, which, however,
was promptly pulled down.

•"•-• LRICESTER CHRONICLE.
LZICiSTER CORPORATION LOYALTY !—On the coro-
nation of King George the Third, the corporation of this
borough, in order to give the inhabitants a lest to ejaculate
" God save the King," caused the conduit in the Market.
place to flow with wine. On the coronation of his late Ma-
jesty, the same body had the venerable pile filled with ale,
for alike purpose; but on Thursday next, the coronation of
his present Majesty, the same building is to pour forth, what
with the above exceptions, it has always poured forth—
namely, fine—pure—unadulterated water! Whether to
typify the present state of purity of the said body; its pau-
city of cash from electioneering doings; or its lack of loy-
