NEW COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

Last night this Theatre was better attended at the'
commencement of the Performances than on the pre-
ceding evening ; and the company, upon the whole,
was of a more respectable appearance.—The first two
Acts of Love in a Village were heard with profound
attention, except when interrupted by applause, not
always judiciously applied. Several of I NCLEDON'S
and Mrs. Diccusts's songs were encored ; and Mt, N -
DEN highly tickled the fancy of his auditors, by his
richly coloured delineation of Justice Woodcock.
The commencement of the third act was the signal
for war, of which the original audience seem to have
been aware, and the conflict between them and the
new comers at half-price was, for some time, very
severe; but determined hostility at length prevailed,
and during, the rest of the performance, as hereto-
fore, the voices of the actors, and the music of the
orchestra, were drowned in the yell of discord. The
powers of Animal Magnetism had no effect upon
the unfeeling multitude, and the Farce ended, as
it begun, in dumb shew. " Turn out Me Jews" was
the cry, as before, but not so many of them were
visible as on former occasions, and the clamour was,
not quite so uproarious as on Wednesday night.
Some whistles were used, and here and there, now
and then a horn or a rattle was heard, but the
police officers were extremely active, and again suc-
ceeded in taking into custody several of these in•
strumental performers. After the final fall of the
curtain the hostile party communed together, as
usual, for about three quarters of an hour, and then
withdrew in a body cheering each other as they de-
parted. There was but little speaking, and not many
placards. There were a considerable number of
Ladies in the dress boxes, and much company in the
private circle, who experienced abundant abuse from
the groundlings. The doors of the theatre were closed
about eleven o'clock.

The only placards that were exposed to our view
were these :

" Christians turn out the Jews!"
"6 The Public Voice will not be silenced by foul means."
" A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether."
Among those who were last night taken out of the
Theatre, charged with riot and assault, the following
cases were heard before the Magistrates of the Bow-
street Office :

A young gentleman of respectable appearance,
named Dresmadryl, a clerk in the employment of
Messrs. Blake and Co. Solicitors, Essex-street, Strand,
was charged by Mr. Brandon with breeding a riot and
disturbance in the Theatre, by standing in the front
of the dress-boxes, and attempting to address the au-
dience in the pit. He did not deny the charge, and
trusted that the complaint was not sufficient to war-
rant the Magistrate to take cognizance of it. Mr.
REED, however, was of a different opinion, and or-
dered him to find bail, himself in 2001. and two sure-
ties in 1001. each, to appear at the next Quarter Ses-
sions, to answer to the charge.
A boy about 17, named Alexander Cheeks, the son
of a respectable coal merchant in Church-street, Hack-
ney, was charged by a gentleman named Fisher, of
Castle-street, Leicester-fields, with being one of those
assisting in fixing a placard in front of the fourth tier
of boxes. Mr. Fisher stated, that he observed the
defendant was very noisy and riotous. He-watched
his motions particularly, and distinctly heard him cry
out to the people in the pit, at the same time waving
his hat, ,4 Now my boys, a long pull, a strong pull,
and a pull altogether." This occasioned below an
universal cheering, and tumultuous applause and
waving of hats. The box being full of people, Mr.
Fisher did not attempt to take him into custody, but
stationed a gentleman to watch him while he went
for a constable, and then took him into custody.
The young gentleman completely denied the charge
and called several young men who swore most posi-
tively that he was at the opposite side of the horse
when the placard was put out, and that for a consi-
derable time after he did not go into the box where it whew., 765. 665. 100 s.

A very extraordinary circumstance happened at
Ballater 13ridge on the 21st ult. As Serjeant Robert
Taylor, of the Royal Artillery, now in that neigh•
bourhood on the recruiting service, was crossing the
bridge, his loot slipped, and being unable to recover
himself, he took the resolution of jumping down, and
received no manner of injury, though the height was
about 23 feet, and there was very little water at the,
place where he fell.

credited. HORNSBY and Co. experience a sale of
Tickets and Shares to an unusual extent ; they there-
fore take the liberty of saying as much to th; Public,
in order that no disappointment should occur to these
who intend having so valuable a chance. In 1807
and 8, HORNSBY and Co. shared 3 of £20,000, 2 of
WlO,OOO, 3 of £5OOO, 1 of £4OOO, 1 of £2OOO, f; 01
