approbation warvery soon heard ; the principal cha-

foppish Haberdasher, did not please. The satire in-
tended to be levelled through him at effeininacy, was
not comprehended, or if comprehended was not re-
lished by the audience. The extravagance of the ca.
ricaturi offended, and the hostility manifested before
the end of the first act, must nearly have annihilated
' the hopes of the Author.
We hardly ever remember to have seen the storm
of disapprobation on the perform:thee of a new piece,
burst out so soon as it did on this occasion, to be kept
up with such unremitting fury: Early in the. second
act, Mr. 'JONIS came forward, and requeired the au-
dience_to indulge the piece with a patient hearing,
promising, at the same time, that it should be with-
drawn, it it finally met with disapprobation. This ad-
dress, however, had no'effect whatever, and scarcely

ante could be beard. The second act was condemned
for the demerits of the first. In this the audience
acted illiberally, and unwisely, as justice and reason
equally required that a chance of 'redeeming himself
should have been given to the author, as writers, like
actors, sometimes reserve their strength till the last
part of the performance. The actors were now so
completely disconcerted, that they hardly seemed to
know what they were about, and were more than once
at ,4 a dead stand." The total ruin of the piece fol-
lowed. When the curtain fell, Jonas came forward
and. addressed tile audience, but culeill not obtair. a
hearing. At the commencement of the next piece t, .
Manager was loudly railed for. Mr. FAwcaTT on t.
made his appearance, and spoke as follows:
.. Lames AND Garet LtilllN..—lt is the first wish of my heart
to act in coatormity with your desires. As soon as I knew the
general feeling of the House was aga'nst the Farce, I sent Mr.
JONES to tell you it would be withdrawn. It you did not beat.

other performances of the evening went on 'without

Sates-clay se'nnight, as Mr. DARLASTONI as opulent
farmer of Elforct, near Lichfield, was sitting in his
own house, about eight or nine o'clock at night, he
was shot at through a window, and several slugs were
lodged in his head. The shutters were closed at the
time, and the assassin had placed a hurdle to stand
upon, that he might reach high enough. We are
happy to hear that Mr. DARLASTON is not dead.—
A person has been apprehended on suspicion.
