(Few" ens COSI CONSTITUTION OP MONDAY.)
On Friday night, a haggard containing four stark. of
corn. belonging to a man named Laug. was set on fire
within half a mile of Donnell., but, by the prompt at-
tendency aad exertions of Major Carter's efficient
lice, the flames were ezdnguiehed, with the loos of only
one stock.
Almon. AT ASSASSINATION.-00 Thursday night
last, between the boars of tea and eleven o'clock, as
the Rev. 11. Williamson was retarnieg from Mallow to
his resideme at Dromore, he was fired at by some per-
son from behind the ditch that bounds the road near
Mr. (Mold's garden, and nearly opposite to Mr. Lom-
bard's porter's lodge. Immediately, on hearing the shot,
he dismounted, and proceeded to the spot from whence
he *apposed it was fired, but, from its contlgnity to a
number of roads, the rake was enabled to make his
escape. Mr. Williamson's boy, who was close behind
him, beard the ball pass. It is a matter worthy of re-
mark. that in this case of inteaded assassination, there
was nothing whatever commuted with trine, and the
character of that Ontlesan is borne testimony to by
all who have the pleasure of his acquaiatant, as most
mild and conciliatory- That be is sot deficient in per-
sonal courage, his immediate attempt to discover the of
is a sufficiently strong proof.

bamtv•Liirit THEATRIL—On Saturday night Hole
ilteirrs Comedy of The Road to Rein was performed.
The rest was very strte2', the reception of the Pere
highly f Me. Tle condoned indisposition of Mr.
MIINDEN prevented him from appearing in hie favourite
character of Old Dorntois, hut his place was supplied
by Mr. Dowrow with considerable talent. Mr. Ewa-
Ton's Harry Bonitos is well known. The mixture of
wildness aid sensibility, of headlong 'animas/Ince and
&Weil alfeetion, as mingled in the portrait to which
we allude, could not he more naturally exhibited Ilion
upon this occasion ; 111 r. Er.uszon never played it
wish greater spirit before. Mr. TORSI'S Sulk, &hind
much to the amusement of the night; and thomiA 31r.
Hauhsv's no/dfladi is rot among his best tffmrts, it wee
f" of b"etlei vivacity, and entertainment. In addition
1 to the established perr..riners whom we have noticed. a
Lally from the Exeter Theatre, of the name of Hoaxes,
made her debut us Acophia, and experienced a very in-
tegrable reception. There is something so insipid in
Ibis character, that it cannot be said to afford • au&
elect test of theatrical talent; therefore, though we al-
low that :tin. Luouss acquitted herself with a good
Ocal of ludicrous simplicity, we roast wait for some
bighernndertaking to enable us to judge how far she
is nimble of combining the intellect of comedy with its
exterior manner and deportment.
COYSKT•GARItte TftenTitir.—The performances at this
thaw* est &cont.,' night presented two novelties
Mies PSTOrt's tint appearance on these boards, and 'a
newAllelcs Drama, entitled Ali Pacha. The success
whit% had.alroady attended Miss Parox's exrrtions at
die Haymarket; afforded every reason to anticipate greai
sueeeei in the new and tnoreeolarged sphere of artivityto
whirls her abilities advanced her. Our anticipations were
(idly borne oat by the result. She made her commence-
ment as Polly ln'The Beg gar's Opera, and the size of the
theatre, instead of detracting from the effect of her voice
incited her to a more ambitioes display of Unilateral qua.
lltiesand scientific enltivation. I n "Cease your Fanning,"
and other favorite airs, she was rapturously encored.—
Indeed there seems lobe no reasonable ground to doubt,
taking all the ci rcu eat a nces oilier reception together, that
she will constitute such an attraction as must render the
bperatic endeavours of this house highly interesting and
popular. Mr Paean AN was the Captain Markcath, and
notwithstanding the difficulty of such an undertaking,
was a good deal applanded in many of time songs. Hr.
&innate ran play nothing badly, hot Lockit is not in
his line, ronsesprently it can add nothing to his profes-
sional reputation. The new inelms.drama is called Ali
Pasha, but though intended to exhibit the well known
tyrant, it is so deficient in characteristic fidelity, as
scarcely to afford a single point of resemblance to the
fierce Original from which it professes to be taken. The
fable is altogether a work of imagination, and the chief'
objection to it consists in the obscurity with which it is
developed in the dialogue. There are in it, however.
some passages of a popular tendency, which called forth
-applause. Every allusion, however slight, to the cause
of the Omits, was cheered, but in other respects the
Impression was languid and imperfect. Mr. T. P..
COOKS, Mr. MOOT, and Mr. FARIAT, exerted thaw
selves to the utmost; and Miss Foove looked beautiful
in the magnificent costume of the East. The music pee,
mem a good deal of merit ; and the scenery. and flow
radon as, worthy of a Theatre so celebrated for Woo.
aamental appendages. In the last stale, which is She
moat effective. a grand explosion takes place. Isis sm.
areal* well coatrlved ; and the applause it excited woo
of gnat importance towards the success of the Orates.
With all its directs we shall not be surprised to we it

Tat Lain Ilse. OARILICK.—The extract we inserted
en Saturday from Iwo Lewes's Memoirs respecting this
Lady, in which she Is represented as the natural daugh-
ter of the Earl of iturliogton, is stated to be incorrect.
—Signora Violetti, late Mrs. Garrick, was first
Intresioced Into the Arlington family by Lady Bar-
thegt•n herself, in the capacity of companion, and
she so endeared herself to the noble pair that they
treated her with the affection of parents. The at-
taehmeat, contrary to the story in question, began on
depart of Mr. Garrick, and the following antedate,
which Is lightly mentioned by Davies. in his life of the
greatector, is a fart well known to the friends of Mr.
Garrick at the time :—An elderly Lady met Mr. Gar-
rick In the street, and asked him if his heart was en-
gaged, for otherwise he might marry a young lady of
beauty, fortune, and virtue. Mr. Garrick, who did not
then knew Signora Vieletti, answered in the negative
and the Lady assured him that be should hear from ber
soon. Many months passed away and no tidiags came.
At length he met the old Lady again, in the Strand, and
addressed her, requesting to know why he bad net heard
from her. She told bias that be was mistaken, that he
had never seen ber before, and that she slid not know
him. Garrick was not so easily diverted from his par-
pose, and he told the Lady that he should not quit her
till she had satisfied his curiosity. She then agreed to
go with him into the back parlour of a respectable
tradesemo near the spot, with whom lie had dealings.
The Lady informed him that her young, heantifult and
affluent friend, had seen him in some heroic part, and
was chinned with his acting, conceiving that his own
feefings must be coogenial with the character which he
so ably imported ; but that seeing him soon after in
46g Bragger. she *as convinced that one who repre-
sented grovelling meanness and avarice so well, most
naturally be *pally low-minded, her love was immedi-
ately at an kid. Garrick was so struck with this story,
,
lw was them cooeting Signora Violetti, and oppress
bending the ponsißility of a similar effect, he took care
that whenever (I -hutlingtou family sent for place., if
he was tenet a pectin low comedy, they should be in-
formed that the Boxes bail all been taken.

' OLD Timis ReticweD7—.llr. John Pitcher, who lately
kept the Crows Itm. in liailshaim has this Michaelmas
taken a farm id. the adjoining parish, and hired his
servants (as helmets used to do) as iii-door servants.
The long table is Spread in the kitchen, with good farm-
house provision, and the toaster and mistress take their
seats at the head.—(Brighton Herald.)
Mr. Robert Gourley, late a respectable farmer, of
Deptford Farm, Wilis, celebrated for his reform ad-
dresses to the labourers of Wily, and for his eardeacours
to effect s reform in Cana.la,u here he was imprisoned, is
new reduced to the necessity of breaking. stones on lime
highway, and of receiving pwochial assistance from the
parish of Wily.—(Reviser Gazettc.)

FONTIfILL AISJT and DOM4IN.—Them is still an in-
explicable and unaccountable mystery relating to the
purchase of this prlspertr, for which we cannot account.
Report says that Mr. Fiirgoltar has. or is to pay down
one hundred and fifty thonsand pounds in part of the
purchase myney, and the remainder is to be pall Mr.
Ileaford by way of annuity. We are told that Mr.
Seaford. who is himself highly literary, 1111,11 reserved
to himself a certain portion of his valuable books and
prints, and that Mr. Chirke, the bookseller, of Bond-
street. had, under the direction of Mr. Seaford. gone
down to Foothill to make the selection.--(Morning

CORN EXCNANON,SirT.2IIe-rt o'Cioca.—There wee
a considerable supply of all sorts Of grain last week,
and the abundant arrivals this mormng from Eases,
Kent, and Suffolk, form a large Market.—Our

rior description, is very heavy sale.

Bow Beam—ln our paper of Friday it was stated
that, in a vestry held at Bow Church, Cheapside, on
Wednesday, respecting the ringing of the Beth, the
Churchwardens and Overseers strenuously opposed the
ringing, and that after the resoletion was carried against
them by a majority of four, the Bells were rung, and
the peal kept up till nearly eleven o'clock. In correc-
tion of this statement we have been since assured that
lat the vestry, four out of the five Churchwardens and
Overseers were present, and three of them voted for the
'tinging, that the majority who agreed with them was
at least two to one, and that the Bells were, thereupon,
ordered to be mg one hoar for trial. This trial was
accordingly made ; the Bells being rung one quarter of
