Mr. Colt rm.:, the amateur actor, performed Romeo,
at the Richmond Theatre, on Wednesday night. The
audience laughed most heartily—they included the
noble families of BUCCLEUGH, SHAPTISEURY, and
CounrooN, the Officers of the 18th Light Dragoons
quartered at Richmond, and all the residents of fa-
lltion and respectability in the neighbourhood. After
the Play he recited 4, Bucks have at you all," in a
style somewhat less laughable than his Romeo. .

AYR, AUGUST 29.—1 t is at length finally deter.
mined to throw a new bridge over the Doon. The
plan, we understand, is truly magnificent. The arch
is to be such, in height and span, as to communicate,

foil at either end of the bridge. This plan, we trust,
will be executed without affecting the existence of the
