It is not perhaps generally known, that the recently
revived comedy of Vie Poor Gentleman, at Drary.lane Theatre,
was written during a visit of the author at Tunbridge Wells, and
that the characters of which it is composed are, for the most part,

of Mr Robert, to render his identity still more striking.

We have much pleasure in announcing that there it
a prospect of the revival of the prosperity of the New.
foundland trade. The vessels for that part of the world
are fast setting out, and from the great reduction of the
duties of fish imported into Spain, the merchants enter
tain great hopes of meeting with a good sale in thou
markets, which have lately. been shut against them.
The stock, consequently, which has been lying dead in
the stores at Poole is now preparing for a speedy ship.

The following mail bags, carried by the mail from
Glasgow to Perth, were lost or abstracted from the
coach on the night of-Saturday last:—The mail bags
from Glasgow to Crieff, from Stilling to Crieff, and
from Dumblane and Ardoch to Crieff. We understand
the guard states, that about nine o'clock, when on the
road betwixt Ardoch and Muthill, it became necessary
for him to stop the coach, and dismount to adjust some
part of the harness, and supposes that, when in the act
of taking down articles from his tool box, the bags came
out without his noticing them. They were not missed
till his arrival at Crieff, when he stopped to throw them
off, and discovered they were gone. He instantly d;s•
patched a man on horseback, and another on foot, to
Ardoch, but they were unsuccessful.

They write from Naples, under date of the Bth of
March, that the excavations at Herculaneum, which
bad been so long suspended, bad at last been recom-
menced. and lad been opened under the happiest
auspicies. Independently of the clearing made at the
back of the. Theatre, the digging has discovered con-
siderable portions of two houses, each of two or three
stories, a thing very interesting for architecture, and
' almost entitely new. The ceilings, a part of which is
wanting in most of the ancient edifices hitherto disco.
vet's!, have been found in their places, and in a state of
preservation which may be called perfect, though they
were reduced to charcoal.
