Daum-LA'a..--A nevi Melo-Dramatic Piece, in
three...44s, was produced on Monday night, entitled
Pi:Heroine • or, A Daughter', Courage. It appears
to be of French origin, and ranch of its interest arises
put of an act of atrocity committed by a man in the
presente of cfemale, being from circumstances im-1
puted to the innocent spectator of the crime, who is
deterred from disclosing the name of the real offen-
der by the belief thatlie is her father. The cherac •
ten are but feebly marked, but there. are some scenes
which give Mrs. WEST opportunities of successfully
displaying her powers ; and the dirges, dances, and
lnusic, that are its accompaniments, added to the
inerits of the Performers, obtained fork considerable
applause in its progress ; and it experienced no oppo-
sition when the curtain descended. Mr. 11. Pirtr.t.ies,
of this Theatre, is said to be the author or transla-
• for Of. The Ilerdine.
.Covesre-GARDEN.-77re Duenna si'as the perform-
ance at this Theatre last night. Miss SraruExe sang
with her usual excellence, ant drew forth the live-
liest applause. Mr. HuNr sang t'ae songs of Carlos
very successfully, and was received with decided fa-
vour. Mr. FainEN performed Don Jerome with his
former success. The Opera was followed by the
)farce of Bon Ton, in which Mr. FARREN appeared,
for the first time, as Sir John Trotley. His perform,
;ince of the cynical asperity of this rustic moralist,
whose principles and habits arc shocked and surprised
at every step by the levities of high life in London,
was full of humour and character. Mr. EMERY was
very entertaining as the rustic servant getting a taste
for the fopperies and vices of the town.—The follow,
rag is the Epilogue to the new Tragedy of Evadne :
Drop Scerde—The Hall of Dramatic Statues.
Sent hither by our Bard, no pleasant jaunt,
In Epilogue, a timorous Debutante,
I ask your favour, like a phaleat elf,
One word for him, and one word for myself.
Cut off, like Crusoe, from the social walk,
With no man Frick), to keep up the talk,
. Frowned on, by yonder monumental sages
(Patriot to Me Drop.
In marble—what an awful thing the Stage is !
Of Thespian Bards you Alpha and Omega,
From mighty Shakspeare down to Lope de Vega,
Each shakes his awful curls, and seems to my— '
" Surety the Author means to damn his Play;
" What ! 'send an Actress out the, Town tlmplore,
" Who never spoke an Epilogue before?
" Olivia for Evadne ! mighty clever !
Woman for woman—that is oder, however!"
:Pelee, ye Monopolists on marble shelves,
You want to damn all Dawes but yourselves.
Meant ! " taught the Speaker's eye" before ye,
Bear rank, attention ! while I tell a story.
Pygmalion once, to ape the turner's trade,
With curious labour car.'d an ivory maid,
But, es Immortal grace each limb unfolds,
Ile glows with passion for tlit maid he moulds,
And tries (h vain were Artists e'en la Greece) •
" Come, tha 's a statue ! that's Art's mastorpiece I"
Long be her with a lover's mien, • " •
And thus, at length, reddens /kauty's Queen—
" Oh, Venus ! aid me taste of Hymen's bliss,
" And' bone atm bone' make'yon ivory Miss."
" Hush ! foolish youth.," (aside this Manus sung)
"Lave well alone !—a statue has no tongue 1"
Vain was the hint; the *Weil of the Greeks
Repeats his vow, and gains the boon he *Mks.
The Statue woke to life ! with eager spring
Pygmalion amid his chime' for a ring, •
Asiti, as no parent tiv'd to thwart his plans,
Of course, no cross papa forbad the banns !
From that time forth, newarm'd by liver's breath,
Statues, Sr bone, or SMINAbaWS slept in death.
But if, to-night, yod bid Beane thrive,
We hope to see the miracle revive!
To limury's Queen the &Man potted his vow,
Our Poet bends to Beauty's daughters -now ;
Oh, may they waken his dramatic wife,
And, smiling. warm his STATUS into life !

8/AILILING::There was a Benefit at the Fives-Court yesterday,
for Neat*. The best and only good match of the day was be-
tween Sfroggins and Cabbage. • The men are nearly of equal
weights, and they have often been on the point of fighting in
earnest. Their attacks upon each other were manly and effec-
tive: they floored each other repeatedly; science was not re-
sorted to, but it was hit for hit, until their performance drew
down thunders of appliuse front the assemblage:
The Claigate arenide says, " The following occurrence will
prove the proficiency made by the .'Unateurs in the tallish art
of Pugilism young man going home about a fortnight ago
WIZ marked out as a proper person oil whom to chew their
prowess : lie was accorilingly beat and bruised In so scientific a
mamma, that he died in ten days afterwards."

Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, as a cor-
poral of the Marines was going his rounds in Ports-
mouth Dock-yard, relieving the sentinels, he missed
his way, fell into the basin, and was drowned.—
Thursday night a similar calamity oeestrred, near
the same spot, to a private of the same corps, who
also missed his way, on account of the darknesi of
the night.
