THBATRICALS.

KING'S THEATRIL—The whole of the performance
went (iffiest night with great eclat.
HAYNARKET.—The Padlock %las again performed last
night, in which Miss Lova and Miss Pavoy, as the re-
presentatives of Leander and Leonora, were rapturously
encored in the airs which they respectively introduced
of " Sao what is more dear to the Heart of the Brave,',
and t. &use, Sweet Home." The Comedy of Exchange
no Robbery bad all the attraction of the great comic ta-
lents of Lisvosi : FINING was an able representative of
Sir Lennox Leinster ; and all the other parts were
equally well and effectively sustained.
ENGLISII Opens House.—The Dick Dasloll of Mr.
WALLACK, in the farce of My Aunt, is as pleasant a per-
rorinanee as we have recently witnessel. We remember
having before seen him at Drurv-Lane personate a man
" overtaken with strong drink," as we thought, to the
life ; but he outdoes his former efforts, in the last scene of
Dashall. It is irrestibly comic.
HIT3I.IRKST THEATRE.—The fourth Report of the
Crown-land Revenue Commissioners (just printed by or-
der of Parliament) s• ates that "a
-Plot of (round on the
east side of the Haymarket, and west side of Suffolk-
street, with a Theatre and Messuage thereon, was leased
for 99 years from January 3, 1831, to David Edward
Morris, Esq. at the yearly rent (a pepper-corn rent for
the first two years) of 356/. 9s. 6d., and 391. 19s. in lien
of hind tax redeemed by the Crown: the costs, charges,
and expenses incurred in erecting and finishing the
said Theatre and Mrssnage being 9,0901." Thus the
Ground Rent alone of the " Little Tueatre," is near 41. M.
a year

Tice FRENCH Paess.—lt is said that the English re-
sident in Paris and other parts of France are to have a
new English paper started for their accommodation.
There is already snEnglish journalfin Paris, which is well
circulated, and the proprietors of which are reaping a
good profit. It appears, therefore, that there is a far
opening for a second enterprise of this nature. A list of
the French newspapers pablished here, with the amount
of the number of copies printed, will chow that, not-
withstanding the low price of newspapers Ka paper being
sold fur 21 English), there is by no means the Santo
extent of intellectual anxiety here as in England.
' The alloaiteer, 3,000 to 4,000; Debate, 11,000; Journal
de Paris, 9,000; Courier Francais, 5,000 geotidienne,
3,500; Drapeau Blanc, 3,300; Journal du Comnierre,
4,000; Gazette de France, 3,200; Coastitationnet,
17,000 to MOM. These are all daily papers : no weekly
newspaper, or three day newspaper, is published in Paris.

The extreme novelty of Charles Mathews's appearance in
the character of Othello, at the Liverpool Theatre, at-
tracted a very crowded audience, and what is still more sin-
gular, Mathews is reported to have entered into the spirit of
the jealous Moor with a justness of conception which asto-
nished all present.
According to The Dublin Morning Post the myste-
rious pass words of the Irish Orangemen were :
For the Orange—F. I. V. E. and Beth-ho-ron.
Fur the Purple—flak-ke-dab.
These words occur in the 10th thspter of Joshua, and
have reference to the slaying of the five King., who
were hang upon fits trees at hlakkrdah, and to the es-
termination of the Ammorites at Bethhoron.
Messrs. Horst and Robinson, of Pall-Mall, purchased
at Mr. Davison's late sale, Wilkie's picture of King Al.
fred in the Nratherd's cottage, receiving the rebuke of
his hostess for allowing her cakes to be burnt, at 509
guineas. We understand it is their intention to bare
this chef d'oeuvre, which includes a striking portrait of
the Artist bitnselC engraved as soon as possible in a
style, and on a scale worthy of the subject and the
painter.
Kate ReenoROUGH LINF.N TRADE.—OiI Saterd sy last,
about eleven o'clock, this Borough was thrown into an
unusual consternation, its consequence of a sudden an-
nouncement by the m inufacturers, that they had deter-
mined to reduce the price of weaving, which, we under-
stand, exceeds more than 10 per cent. In the afternoon
the weavers quietly assembled, and determined not to
submit to the prescribed terms. Of course a Late of agi-
tation pervaded the town, though we ..re happy to add
not tumultuous. On Monday abint two o'clock, p.m., the
disengaged workmen, whose numbers amounted io nearly
1700, perambulated the streets in regular files, with
peaceful demeanour, their situation producing general
sympathy, and we are assured the anxiety of public feel-
ing, which generally unites itself on extraordinary occa-
sions, and particularly when they have an immediate
interest, was deservedly displayed in favour of the work-
men. Our correspondent adds, that a deputation of
Barnsley manufacturers have la'ely been actively en-
gaged, en secret, with those of the Borough, and that on
.the evening previous to the turn-out, a consultation was
held at Abbott's Hotel (Bay Horse). the deliberations of
which extended to a very unseasonable hour, the gentle-
men not forgetting to secure to themselves plenty of
"good things. '—(Shelfield Independent.)
At Oxford Assizes John Carter, the noted pugilist, was in
icted for robbing Vie Oxford Mail on the 25th ult. of a-
darcel containing aM. and three 11. notes. His trial was
postponed on account of the illness of a witness. Real
this, ye lovers of " the fancy !"
CORN-EXCHANGE, JULY 16.—The fresh arrivals of
grain this week are smaller. The wet weather being
now considered unfavourable; more money is asked for
Wheat, but very little business has been done in the trade.
Oats remain at Monday's pr ces. In other Grain no alter-
ation. The accounts of the Bops are so unfavourable, that
the article yesterday advanced 20s. per cwt.
