Mr. TOMKINS begs to acquaint his numerous

PICTURE LOTTERY will be drawn on Saturday next,
the 28th instant, and recommends an early purchase
to those who are desirous of encouraging the under-
taking.—Tickets, £3. Ss. each, are on sale at Nos. 53

Friday se'nnight, Mr. GARDEN, of Oxford-street,
the operative chemist, met with an unfortunate acci-
dent, which had nearly proved fatal to him: while
preparing a quantity of a fulminating mixture, it
suddenly exploded with dteadful violence, scorching
and wounding him most severely. He was so seri-
ously injured that much apprehension was enter-
tained for several days; but he is now considered out
of danger, though still suffering acutely.
AULANCHOLY END.—Last night, a man, who ap-
peared to have seen better days, was detected in the
act of stealing about two pounds of bacon from the
shop-window of Mr.Wituttms, cheesmonger,'n the
Minoties. On being seized, he begged in the most
moving terms that they would not expose him, and
exclaiming, " Oh, GOD forgive me!" he suddenly fell
down in the shop, and expired in two minutes. He
was taken to Aldgate watch-house, to await a Corc•
ner's Inquest.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Mr. KEAN having ar-
rived in town yesterday, resumed his theatrical
labours last night on his return from America.—
Though the notice which the Public had of his ar-
rival was necessarily short, it soon spread among the
admirers of the drama, and a full attendance was the
consequence. He was hailed with the loudest plau-
dits on coming forward in his favourite character of
Richard the Third, which he rerformed with great
spirit. This zeal to please the audience by whom he
was first introduced to fame, carried him through his
task with energy and success, notwithstanding the
fatigue of his journey; and he was-never seen more
anxious or more capable of doing justice to the part.
The audience testified their satisfaction by reiterated
applause, which, in many instances, interrupted the
performance, and when the curtain fell there was a
general call for the Theatrical Hero, who came for-
ward after a short interval, and addressed the audience
to the following effect :
" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I assure you the gratifying recep-
tion which I have this day experienced from you, and the. highly
Battering applause which you have been pleased to bestow on
my feeble efforts this evening, have nearly overpowered my feel-
ings—(diVause).—l will only add, Lather and Gentlemen, that
I trust, during my absence from my native country, my con-
duct ha 3 been such as not to disgrace the character of an English-
man"—(Loud applause).
—Mt. ItussELL then came forward and stated, that
Mr. KEAN having only arrived at twelve o'clock, was
so entirely overcome with the fatigue of the journey
and the performance together, that it would be im-
possible for him to appear, as had been announced,
this evening. He will, on Wednesday, perform **-
lock, and on Thursday, Othello.
ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—This Theatre wis again
opened last night at half-price for the whole eveteng's
performance—a circumstance which did not in ap-
pearance lessen the respectability of the audience.
which was very numerous.
COBURG THEATRE —A Grand Rom rntic Pare°.
mime Spectacle was last night prod.iced at this Thea-
tre, under the title of Napoleon Bonaparte—General,
Consul, and Emperor. The Piece is got bp w.th ail
that splendour of decoration and dress, and beau. y
of scenery, peculiar to this Establishment. The Piece
throughout was received with loud applause, and au-
flounced for repetition this evening.

cil formed of the two Ministers of State, and of the two Secre-

I. this kingdom ; and, in similar circumstances, he may make

ari this Regency shall have the same power and authority as'
wt.re &lard by the Prince Regent. " THE KING.
" Palace' of Uonavista, April 22, 1821."

WALLACHIA.

VIENIA, JULY 10.

Letters, worthy of credit, dated Bucharest, the 20th
and 21st of Juue, contain the fallowing particulars
. -A letter from the Greek camp has been received
here, addressed by the Insurgents to the Turki-11
Governor, in which they beg for an amnesty, and de-
clare themselves ready, in case it should be granted,
" to return to obedience, from ‘,..hich they have been
led asti ay by Ypsilanti's delusive intrigues and se-
ducing promises?' The Kiaja of the Pasha imme-
diately gave orders to have Proclamation everywhere
made, that the amnesty required should be given to
all Insurgents who lay down their arms and return
to obedience.
The Kaimacan of the..Hospedar. is employed in
the appointment of the Chiefs of Districts, several of
whom have alicady repaired to their respective posts,
in order to do w.liat is possible to restore order in the
depopulated and desolated villages. A Deputy has
also been sent to the Boyars, who are now at Cron-
stadt, in Transylvania, inviting them In the name of
the Government: to return home.
The ball:c letters paint the situation of the pro.
wince in the most gloomy colours. " Difficult as it
may be (says one of these letters) to foim'at the fit 4t
moment an estimate, founded on a solid basis of the
destruction that has taken place, it may be affirmed
that fifty millions of piastres is too low a calculation
.of the loss occasioned to the proprietors, especially
to the class of small landholders, first, by the insur-
rection of the Pandour Chief Thecidore ; then by the
appearance of the corpi of Iletatisv, and lastly by
the advance of the Turkish army. Among the losses
we must reckon, not merely the wasted stores, the
plundered and ruined buildings, the pecuniary exac-
tions, which the leaders of the undisciplined bands
of Insurgents, and almost each individual Insur-
gent allowed himself to practice; but the loss of
the whole of this year's harvest, because the far-
mers fled from their homes at the beginning of the
Revolution, and did not sow their fields, and the
winter corn sowed in Autumn now rots on the
ground, because there ate no reapers.
Wallachia, formerly so rich. .will not recover in
twenty years-from the sufferings which have been
brought upon this province by an ill-judged enter-
prize, hazarded without knowledge of the people and
of the local relations ;—an enterprize to which the
great mass of the people has remained alien, and
which could not terminate in any case .but with the
destruction of all property, either by the Revolution
and intestine war, or by the consequences of a war
with neighbouring Powers, the theatre of which must
inevitably be on the left bank of the Danube. Hi-
therto no complaints can be ma.4e. against the Corn,
manders of the Turkish Army ; the) act with great
. moderation ; but the Army itself is composed of such
heterogeneous parts, and the soldiers, of whom it
chiefly consists, are so little under controul, that its
• appearance is everywhere attended with unavoidable
desolation. In the midst of the contest stands the
poor farmer, to whom the whole affair was foreign
in its origin, and who considered the first appearance
of Theodore with a few Pandours as nothing more
than one of the usual incursions of a single Chief.—
The most opulent classes soon fled from the towns,
and left them and their property to their fate. The
towns and the country were soon without any Go-
vernment, and the farmer had no other means of
safety than to yield himself a prey to the first parti-
san; or to fly into the woods and mountains.—This is
a faithful picture of the last few months: the future
certainty offers no very satisfactory prospect.

IA consequence of the elevation of Mr. FOSTER
and Mr. Pout to the Peerage, vacancies have oc-
eorred in the representation of Louth County and
the queen's County, Ireland.
Thursday se'nnight, Mr. ALLAN, a respectable far-
pier, residing near Naburn, about four miles from
York, fell from a quantity of hay, not more than a
yard and a half high, and broke one of his ribs. He
lingered in great pain until Satui day, when he died.
