THEATRES.

• HATMARiffiiilgATRIt.
A new Piece, entitled The Goldsmith, was produced
at this Theatre lase night. It is a translation from a
French Melodrame, which some time-ago enjoyed con-
siderable popularity in Paris, and was founded upon the
story of the Goldsmith, who perpetrated many a•sas-
sinations and robberies about the ruins of St. Paul's
Church, in that city. It has a place amongst the 'd Causes
celebres," and has been repeated by VOLTA IRK and other
writers. This Piece is not of a description very common to
the Haymarket. Neither the dialogue nor the acting can
pretend to more than a mere recital of the story, and in
either, that was sufficiently well done. The piece de.
pelids exclusively upon its charms for the class whose
taste requires the stimulus of stabbing and cutting
throats. To them it seemed to afford great satisfaction,
and they will very likely return the obligation by afford• I
ing it their especial patronatte.
ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.
Another crowded au.liencir attended the repetition of
PARR'S admirable Opera here last night. To speak again
',f the manner of its performance would only be to
reiterate the Along terms of commendation vedich the
omits of its former representations so justly called fon
The greatest attention and delight were manifested by
the audience throughout. There has, perhaps, never
been an Opera produced which so immediately and en-
tirely satisfied all tastes and united all opinions.

DUMFRIES, AuGust 21.
HARMS will be general by the end of the week, and in a wide
circuit around this town, both shearers and binders are already
busy in many a field—wages arc expected to be at least Is. fld. per
day. In some places the wheat hai suffered considerably from
mildew, but the crops on the other hand are everywhere so heavy,
that nothing but warm dry weather II wanted to render the harvest
most abundant. From the great quantity of rain that fell last
week a good deal of grain was lodged; but the fine breezes of Friday
and Saturday repaired the mischief to a great extent. What we
have most to complain of is, the continued deficiency of solar heat ;
the thermometer in the shade rarely rises to 60 degrees.
Tea Moons—Speaking generally, there was excellent sport on
the moors on Monday, and most sportsmen we have had an uppor-
tunny of conversing with, returned perfectly loaded with game.—
From Monday till Friday the weather was se wet, that the birds
would not sit; and the dogs' novel; were so much affected by the
same cause, that they resembled a compass whose motions are de-
ranged by the malign influence of a bar of iron. After a short
armistice, the campaign was renewed eagerly yesterday, to the
great detriment of the denizens of the moors, whose heathery en.
campments were surrounded and stormed in all directions. On
some grounds, t►e grouse have suffered sadly from the snow, and
are by no means plentiful, if we except old barren pairs ; in others
the crop is allowed to be an ge one, though a good deal inter-
mixed with numerous broods and 'ninnies of cheepers. Partridges
and hares are unusually plentiful; but the former, as yet, are rather
small and ill-grown. _ _ _

SNIP LA MICH —A fine new ship of 500 tons burthen, the property
of Mews. S. Nelson, Ewart and Co. was launched at Annan, on
I the Bth cumin the presence of an immense concourse of spectators.
Mrs. Barker, of Langshaw, had the honour of christening the
future pilgrim of the Atlantic Ocean ; and when " The Annandale,"
swung from her cradle on the land, and plunged In gallant style
into her native element, the crowd saluted her with three cheers so
heatty, loud, and simultaneous, that they must have been heard on
the other side of the Solway. " The Annandale," is the largest
vessel ever built in Scotland south of Greenock. In the language
of the Custom-house, Annan, is still called a Creek of the port of
Dumfries, but sbe bids fair to.rival, at no distant date, We marine
industry of many places of higher note, and loftier pretensions.—
Nine years ago the navy of Annan consisted of 23 vessels, register-
ing 1025 tons; at present it comprises 34 vends, tegistering 2700.
kioase-Ssraacino—Early on the morning of Friday last, four
excellent work horses were discovered w be a missing—two ftom
Priestlands, and two from Burnside of 31abic. Both depredations
were committed in the same line of country, and the thieves we
understand passed thrnngh the town of Annan.
