THEATRES.

/-1.% YMA RK MEATH E.—The Play of Guy Maa-
r:Ting was repeated with the usual success at this
Theatre on Wednesday -night, and produced a new
performer, in the person of a Lady, who made her
first appearance, alt any stage, in the part of Ifeg
Alcrrilies. She played with a justness and strength
of feeling that quite identified her with the poetic
being whom she represented. There was in her,
manner, h;(1-, and action, the wild energy of the
mountain sybil ; and the close of her performance
was received with several rounds of applause.
• Cot-ENT-GAUD ENo—Mle Opera of Love in a rillage
was last night petformed at this Theatre, for the
purpose of affording to Mr. Hoax an opportunity of
resuming his professional duties before a Metropolitan
audience, after an absence of three years, in the cha-
racter of Young Meadows. In the course of the
l'iece he introduced the Song—,4 The ray that beams
sAr ere)." It was his first appearance on Ow Covent-
Garden boards, and his reception was most favour-
able. He will, no doubt, take the lead as male
singer at this Theatre. Miss CI tiEENE played Roselle.
The simple airs in this Opera are in a style of compo-
sition estremtAy well suited to her potters. Dr.Boyces
Duet—" Together let us range the jelds,"—between
her and Mr. Hoax, was a treat to every admirer of
harmony ; it was rapturously encored. The Opera
ws succeeded by the Comic Ballet of Annette and
Labia, in which the dancers front the Opera House
gave more general satisfactioa than hitherto. There
were in fact, but one or two hisses, and those very
feeble ones, through the night, while the applause
was tumultuous.

Yesterday two young Gentlemen (brothers), named
ItL4ard and John Barrow, were chaged at the Pub-
lic Office, Bow•street, with an assault. Mr. Genese,
an auctioneer, stated, that he was in the pit of Co-
vent-Garden Theatre, on Wedne,day evening, when
the curtain rose for the representation of the new
ballet of " La Jocondc," and conceiving the exhibi-
Con to be altogether indecent and improper, he
Loved with all his might. The defendants were
among the applauders, and, at length, Mr. John
Bartow stepped forward over several seats to get at
h;m, and struck him. a violent blow in the mouth,
which tilled it with blood. The other defendant

seized him by the collar, and dragged him from the
it into the lobby, where he gave charge of them.—
he defendant said, that the complainint had placed
himself behind John Barrow, and. putting his hands
to his mouth, had commenced hooting and groan-
ing, with all his might, close in his ears. Mr. John
:Barsow repeatedly remonstrated with him, but to no
• purpose, until there was a general cry of " Turn
him out ;" and then Mr. Barrow seized him by the
.collar, and dragged him out, but never struck him.
The complainant called two witnesses, who corrobo-
iated his statement. Mr. Malin expressed much
disapprobation of the complainant's conduct. Mr.
. • John Barrow was held to bail, and his brother was
discherged. Genese having ventured to remonstrate
with the Magistrate on the discharge of Mr. Richard
• Barrow, was, by his order, turned out of the Office.
Lord Dzanswitac arrived yesterday setilte Pultney
MeV, Piccadilly, from Wonfmtershire.

rNAVVIIRATION or THE NEW SHERIFFS.I

Yesterday, -previous to the Inauguration of the
new Sheriffs, a deputation of the Livery of their re-
spective Companies met the Sheriffs at the Albion
Tavern, .in Aldersgate-street, where they partook of
an elegant dejertne,•at the joint expense of the Sheriffs,
and subsequently preceded them in carriages to the
Guildhall. On this occasion, no trace of contest for pre-
cedency or superiority appeared ; but, on the contrary,
'upon alighting from their carriages, the two Sheriffs
entered the Hall, side by side. The same unanimity
of sentiment was distinguishable in their respective
equipages, and the subdued style of decoration
adopted in their liveries. Instead of a gilded chariot,
Mr. Sheriff • WAITHMAN appeared in an elegant fa-
mily coach or landau ; the body painted olive co-
lour, with the City arms and supporters on the door-
rails, and mantles, with, the.family arms and crest
on the doors and end pannels, all in drop relief ; the
hammer-cloth crimson, ornamented with rich white
silk fringe and hangers, bordered with silver lace,
and the crest within a garter on each side, richly em-
broidered in silver. The carriage ,and wheels are,
painted drab, tastefully picked out with the same co-
, lour as the body, and neatly edged with crimson.—
Mr. Sheriff WILLIAMS exhibited an elegant cha-
riot, the body a rich mazarine blue, with the City,
arms elegantly emblazoned on the door pannels, the
family arms painted with equal taste on the side.
panne's, ablue hammer-cloth handsomely or namented
with silk fringe and lace ; the carriage and wheels of,
the same colour as the body of the carriage.
The same dread of rivalry appeared in the respec-
tive liveries, which for quantity and disposition of
decoration seemed to be exact copies the one of the
other. That of Sheriff WatITIINIAN is garter-blue
and crimson, elegantly trimmed with silver lace ;
Mr. Sheriff ‘VILLIAMS, mazarine blue, and scarlet
with gold lace. The splendid decoration, the aigrette
from the shoulder, with the shield and crest in lace,
is retained in both liveries. After the ceremony the
new Sheriffs retired into the Court of Common Pleas,
when a list of the prisoners in the different jails of
London and Middlesex was handed over to them.

It has been usual for the Senior Sheriff to give an
entertainment on the day of inauguration, and the
Junior Sheriff on the day after Michaelmas• Day,'
when the Sheriffs are presented and swcPrn in at
Westminster, before the Barons of his Majesty's
Exchequer ; the new Sheriffs, however, have deter-
mined to give but one inauguration dinner; in con-
sequence, there was no dinner yesterday, but cards.
of invitation are out for asplendid entertainment, at
their joint expense, on Saturday next, the day on
which they go to Westminster.
On the subject of this innovation upon old customs,
it is observed, that every Sheriff has the right to de-
termine the expense he 'chooses to go to; but it is
surely not to be expected, that Gentlemen who take
the office of Sheriff upon public principles alone,
should be compelled to give feasts for the gratifica-
tion of City Officers. The majority of the company '
at these dinners claim to attend as matter of right,
while the number of private friends a Sheriff can in-
vite is very limited, although he defrays the whole
expense of the entertainment. Half the expense of
the Lord Mayor's inauguration dinner on Lord
Mayor's Day, it' should be remembered, is also de-
frayed by. the Shetiffs amounting to 1:1,0()0, or
1:1,200, without even the credit of giving the enter-
tainment, or the privilege of inviting more than
twenty or thirty visitors.
