DRURY-LANE THEATRIII.--.A. new Tragi-Comedy,
entitled, The Dwarfof Naples, was performed for the
time on Saturday night. Its merits consisted
chiefly in the adaptation of the principal character to
powers of Mr. KEAN, who exerted himself with
great effect, to give it more than its due impression.
Malvesi, the Dwarf.(Mr. KEAN), envious of the su-
perior fortunes of his brother Giulio (Mr. H. Ktm-
:), who is a General in the Neapolitan service, re-
solves upon his destruction. Giulio is about to be mar-
ried to Amanda (Mrs. MsRDYN), and having pre-
pared a casket of ewels as a present for his intended
bride, Malvesi takes advantage of an opportunity to
'lvey a letter, containing treason against the State, j
:a the casket. Upop this presumption of guilt,{
Giulio is banished, but afterwards recalled by the
King, who is apprised in some time after of his iuno-
.once, and of the treachery of his brother. Previously
this, however, Makes: employs assassins to mut..
him ; Giulio escapes, but Imma (Mrs. WEST), 1112
IMOOSOnt female, who had attended Malvesi in the
disguise of a page, falls a victim to their fury
under circumstances which produced some dissa-
tisfaction on the part of ' the audience. Giulio and
Amanda are married in the end, and Malvesi, after
attempting his brother's life and his own_ without
success, expires in a fit of despair, which was exhi-
bited with an appalling energy by Mr. KEAN. The.
comic parts are of little importance ; Messrs. Hai-
.EY) OtBERRY, and OATTIE, and Mrs. OROSR
sus-
tained the principal of those, .but the whole interest
was absorbed by the Dwarf, which is in fact the only
dramatic personage of any consequence. There are
some striking situations and some good passages, of
which Mr. !CRAW availed himself with extraordinary
success ; indeed, so extraordinary, as to render it
most a matter of course (as far as the uncertainties of
dramatic life will admit the use of such language),
that the piece must have a 'run —The Plays is writ-'
ten by Mr. &ANL, who has acquired some distinc-
tion in other Dramatic Pieces—The following Epi-

AbltiffitArlON ON A NEW PLAN.
The falnwing proposals which is now circulating,
will probably excite some inquiries among'such as are
turning.their eyes towards the Western kitmisphcre :
44 NEW COLONY ag CANADA...Ow ss PitINUIPLIA

gg INTAIUOITHOO TO THOUSANDS !-COLONY Or
BROTHIPAILT UNION I

" It is in agitation to found a Colony upon the'
ancient,Spartau plan, sanctioned by Apostolical usage
of living in common, and enjoying a community of
goods. in this establishment, as each will labour for
all, and all for each, personal property will be un-
known—and all lust isf private gain, engendered by
an imperfect organization of society, will be sacii-
ficed at the shrine of public felicity.
" To carry this project into execution, a fertile
track of land, consisting of some thousands of acres,
is on the point of being purchased and surveyed.
Hasbandmen and Artisans of every sort are in-
vited to this Colonization. We tender the right hand
of fellowship. to the honest and industrious of every
description of people, whatever be their religious or
political faith.
" Want of Funds will not furnish a reason for es-
eluding any Colonist; and on the other hand, it will
be a fundamental law of this Establishment, that
whatever property may be, by adventurers, put into
the common stock, will be considered as a loan, and
refunded to them or their assignees on demand.
" The Colony will be situated within the bounds
of Lower Canada, and under the protection and con-
troul of his Majesty% Government. All persons who
are willing to embark in this enterprise, are requested
to address themselves to the Subscribers, peisonallF,
or by letter. They will specify their country, age, pro-
fession, number of children (if married), pmperq, kc.
" No lettet will be received but from principals,
nor unless post-paid. Every letter to bear on its su-
perscription the words, Colony of Brotherly Union.
" As soon as a sufficient number of applicants have
enrolled their name% notice,will he given by public
advertisement to convenei and digest a Code of Laws
and Regulations for the Establishment.
" S. CLEVELAWD

Emigfation to America proceeds with great acti-
vity. Many artizans and others are constantly quit-
ting their employ in Portsmouth Dock-yard, and in
other situations, with the view of pursuing their oc-
cupations more advantageously in that past of the
world ; and the number of individuals already gone
out, or on the point of proceeding to the United
States, from Portmouth, is said to amount to seve-

ral hundreds. •
Last week, a man named Hedgecock, who was in
custody for a burglary committed at Byfleet, in Sur-
rey, made his escape from a constable, as he was
conveying him to Horsemonger-lane Jail; the pri-
soner escaped by leaping from the top of a stage-
coach opposite the park of his Royal Highness Prince
COSOURG, into which he got, and has not since been
heard of.
A merchant who was travelling a short time since
on horseback, between Saumar and Tours, stopped
at nightfall at an• inn in a little village ; he ordered
supper, and entailed into conversation with two per-
leans of respectable appearance, to whim he incau-
tiously expressed that his purse was well lined. On
the following morning, before it was perfectly light,
be left the inn, and proceeded on his jottrney. . -He
had not gone far before he was overtaken by his two
companions of the preceding evening, who accosted
rbim, and when they had proceeded to a very soli-
tart place, seized and offered him his choice, whe-
.ther h 1 would be stabbed to death, or thrown into
the river Loire. The merchant prayed to them to
spare his life, but in vain: the rokbers were deter.
mined, and he 'at length preferred [fie latter alter-
native. The robbers bound him, aad flungbim into
the river, where he soon disappeared, and the rob-
.bers carried off his horse and his, money. In the
mean time, the merchant was not dead.. He was
borne along by the current, but he contrived to
beep his heall above water ; and at length as day
'advanced he was discovered, and dragged to'sbore,
when be warmed himself, and dried his clothes. Not
far off was an inn, the master of it was at the door,
amid seeing a manger in tears he inquired the cause.
On hearing the merchant's story, he doubted not that
the robbers were two men who were at that uioment
drinking in his house. The merchant recognized
them. 'The gendarmes were summoned, and the
robbers were seized at the very mornent.when, be-
lieving their victim at the bottom of the river, they
were dividing their booty. Proceedings ban ,been
commenced against them.—French Paper. mt. L.
