TH."ATRES.

Dauer Lams.—The entertainments of yrierday
, evening were devoted to the laudable and charitable
purpoie of producing a pecuniary tribute to the wi-
dow of Mr. Krim, for the high gratification which,
during many years, the public experienced from his
exertions as a comedian. The liberality of the proprie-
tors in the appropriation of this extenfive theatre, and
I the generofity of the Performers in gratuitonfly
coming forward to as ll the family of their departed
brother, cannot be too warmly applauded. Exalted
as their talents may be, they certainly sever dela
dette ! After the Comedy of the &hod for Friends,
a Divertifement, compofed by D'Eo•it.t.r, in-
troduced a lively Hornpipe, very neatly executed
by Mrs. SHARP, and the favourite Shawl Danes
of Patisor, whore elegance of manner, fymmetry
of form, and lightners of Rep, were univerrally ad-
mired. To this ruccceded a Poetical Effufion to the
memory and merits of Mr. Kimo, written by Cola's.
av, and intituled "Thaha's Team" On drawing
up the curtain, the Stage exhibited a very intereßing
groupe. Upon a pedeftal in the centre Mrs. Jot-
nom, as 7 &oho, was dikovered weeping over an urn
containing the antes _a poor Tos Kite, once the fa-
vourite of the Comic Mule. On each fide, the mutt
admired charafters of this excellent Comedian were
perfonified by the habiliments of the following
Performers: BANN ISTSR appeared drelTed as
Toa4ftoue,o CDROM' as Lord Ogledy, WROUGHTON as
Moody, and Dowrom as Sir Peter 7 (ash. 7 harms
recorded the talents of her deceared favourite, and
perhaps the mellifluous tones of Mrs. JORDAN'S
voice, and the feeling energy of her geftures were
never more rucceMully exerted in exciting the fym.
pathetic forrow of her Auditors. The beforemen-
tinned Performers recited in turn fereral appropriate
lines, and a Dirge, compored by Mr. P. Kirsch was Co-
!comfy lung by kfaam•ss, lEss.or, Mitme, Srotace,
and Mrs. BLAND. A long, written by M. G. Lewis.
Efq. was alto given by BRAMAN in his bell Ryle.—
The popular Speiacle of The Weeping Beauty conclud-
ed the entertainments of the evening, the produce of
which, it is computed, cannot fall Ihort of 6001. The
houfe afforded a very brilliant mop trail. the lower
boxes being principally crowded with a charming af.
femblage of lovely women, who looked Rill more at-
traftive, as being under the influence of is melting
Charity." In the brilliant circle were—
His Royal newer, the Dake of Wm, the Duchcfs of Bolton,
the Duke and Ditchers Dc Cantles, the hiarchiancifes of Headfort,
/Wilbur', and Well/Rey; the Countdfes of Clue. Barryrnore,
Portarlini,to3, and BuckingLunfldre; Ladles Perth. Montgomery,
Charlotte Durham. Lucas, G. Call, M. Taylor, and Glynn ; the
Hoe. Mifs Drummond, and Mlfs Ofwald.
Coo am r GARDIL—The attraftions of this Theatre

, and the exquifite performance of the two
'greaten Adm.' of the age, KIMILR and Sinooms.—

pofition, which, however trifling to hitt:felt, is molt
coefpicuous to an audience, and, feveral times In the

plaint t in thole paitages which required more fire
and animation, his voice was confequently defeftive,
but his acing was Rill the fame.—Mrs. SIDD'IIS, in

manner, and her halt tcene received the ufaal reite-
rated burns of applaufe. In her fir It fcene with Moe-

The audience teemed by their applaufe to acknow-
ledge the allufion.

The rage for ✓welling and basis/ are alike the order
of the day.—Two meetings of honour took place
yeflerday, the one at Kilburn, where the parties
were dinurbed by the P,lice, and the other near
Wormwood Scrubs, between a Lieutenant S—o—r,
and a Mr. D. a Surgeon in the Army. The parties
exchanged two cafes of pi 1.45, and the Lieutenant
was wounded in the fecund fire in the (boulder.

Eight men of the Adamant were pimiffied on
Tuefday in Portfmouth harbour, for running away
with the cutter belonging to that (hip, when lying
at Cuxhaven, and going to Hamburgh. They were

An inquifition was taken on Tuefday evening at
the King's Arms on the Afton Road, on the body of
James Wenterburn, who was found dead on the pre-
ceding evening in a lane adjoining the turnpike road.
It appeared in evidence that the deceafed was a re-
fpeaable and wealthy farmer, at a village in Hart-
fordlhire, and that he left his houfe for town, nn both-
back, on Monday. It could not be afcertained how
the deceafed met his death, for the only evidence
refpeeting it was given by a waggoner of the name of
Byng, who found the body. Ile dated that the de-
ceafed was in a ditch, and the honk he had rode was
(landing by him, with the bridle broke, and the fad•
die, which was dirty, had only one (limp. The de-
ceafed, it appeared, was a free drinker, and the Jury
concluded that he had mee his death by accident.

finned by the friftion of the wheels. Tile lofs is
