Last week, the 4th (or Highland). Regiment of La-
narkshire Local Militia, commanded,by Lieut. Co-
lonel SAMUEL HITNTER, was reviewed in the Green
of Glasgow by Major-General Priest, who expressed
his unqualified approbation of the appearance and
discipline of the corps.
The volunteering from the Scots militia into the

turned out from the two regiments in the Castle of
Edinburgh, and about 40 from a regiment in the
neighbourhood.
Monday se'nnight, took place, at Hazleden, in the

stance of the whole shots measured was somewhat

THEATRE, HAYMARRET.—Last night the amuse-
ment of this Summer Theatre commenced with the
!long Moon and the after-piece of Lod and Key.—
The antique imitative merits of the leading piece are
sufficiently known to the Public ; as are also those of
Mr. EurstoN, who resumed the part of The Duke,
originally allotted to him at the iast representation
of the Comedy at Drury-lane. Mr. Eurs.row was
received with an ardour of applause not inadequate
to his merits. The chief novelties produced were
Mr. RICHARD JoNes (from Manchester), in the part
of Rolando. Mr. and Mrs. BAMNES, from the-Thea-
tre-Royal, York, both possess considerable abilities in
their respective departments, and the perfect acquain-
tance they seem to have with the stage evidently
shows that they must have had great praitice. Mr.
COOPER (from Bath), in Count Montalban; and Miss
WHEATLEY, in Volanie, were also new. In the Farce
of Loci and Key, the principal novelty was Mr. MA.
LISBON (from Bath), in the part of Ralph, which be
performed with much spirit and ability. An apology
was made for the absence of an announced adventu-
rer, Mr. COOPER (from Dublin), in the part of
Cheery ; and Mr. TAYLOR, from Covent-Garden,
being proposed as his substitute, was cheerfully ac-
cepted. The following occasional Address, written
by Mr. Grown COLMAN, the younger, was spoken
by Mr. Ecurrow, previous to the drawing up of the

Curtain : ' •
Six times the Summer o'er my head has fleeted,
Since, on this spot, my generous Priends I greeted—
Prithee, dear Patrons, do not therefore grumble ;
Into some Theatre I'm sure to tumble,
Where, striving still to please, you find your bumble—
In
various scenic banks, staunch and stout,
After old Drury was, like Troy, burnt out ;
1, as /Erma.i driven to the Strand,
Soon crnsid that seater which ivas clOse at hand.
Then, Surrey Chieftain groWo,At mighty risk,
I fought with fury—near the Obelisk.
`Tis wonderful, the lriumphs which were woo,
• Last year, by great •Field-marshal Et.cssrbn •
" Fight boys, (I cried), ST. Gaotoz, with three dim doe
" His brick and mortar ficlds, and victory!"
• Still, there I keep a amp ;my soldiers yearn
(No period though is'fied) forty return. •
Not so the Corsican, whom Fortune laid . •
In dotage on her lap, and Emp'ror made;
He who makes kings, like,nincipins, with a crown, .
'At will set up, to be, at wills knock'd down;
Not so did false Napless, on the soil
Of birping Egypt, leave his troops to toil, •
And pronsis'd a revisit to the plain.,
But never did, nor meant to, come again :
No; when loom Butt Is pledg'd, we cannot doubt kin,
He has no Corsiio-French blood about him ;
If no time's nam'd, why then, without More pother,
He's sure to bold his faith, some time or other.
Our brother N# will disappoint, we've beard,
but General Bards-rots must keep his word.
Here cease we airy figures to pursue,
And glance on solid sigures, which are new.
New flesh and blood, which, call'd from many a country,
s' 'Pray for your candid and discerning bounty.
, Some favourites in our corps you've marled for true ones,
And pray give currency to all the new ones.
Receive our country coin, or we ara undone,
Silver from Birmingham comes siamp'd to London.:
To splendour this poor House has no pretence;
' We sins at nature, laugh, and common sense:
Drip on our Ripe& to shew some ompassion,
Though Quadrat/ea, o' late, are all the flotillas!
