DauttY-Lawr...olhello, at this Theatre, last evening,
attracted a fashionable auditory. Mr. KEAN'S Othello
was of course deservedly and much applauded. Mr.
CLEARY, who for the first time undertook the chat
ratter of logo, displayed considerable talent; WI:
appears to possess abilities, that with due cullima4ol'
will one day place him much beyond enediocrity
Mrs. Wricr,in Desdemona, appeared to mory advise.
tags than when she first assumed the part. She le a
young Lady of great promise, and we hail her esjs
very considerable acquisition to the drama.
COTENT•GARDEN.—The Comedy of the Way
Keep him was performed et this Thersiteviast 04014:
the part of Sir Bashful Constant, for the first tittiob
by. Mr. Vititegth it afforded *wither triumph fie
this excellent performer. In Sir Bashfel, as in die
other characters in which he has appeared, Mr. FAR.
aro displayed that tare end valuable power of ea-
hibiting great comic force by singularly chaste and
easy touches. There was no broad sketch of foilji
and maavaise honle, yet the audience was moved its
the highest tone of merriment. The distinctiie
trsits_of the character, the silly dread of AA.-
gularity and ridicule, making the persouage et the
moment singular and ridiculous--the conflict be.
tween his fully and his feelings—his transitions from
the complacent joy, and . 'apposite affection with
which he dwells upon his wife when alone, to the lu-
dicrous bursts of factitious passion into which he
breaks out when he feels upon him the eye of any
human creature—the luok of lively, !wherries scru.
tiny with which he surveys those within observation,
end the frank simplicity with which he receives the
illusions practised upon hies through the medium or
his own distorted fancy, by the .designs of his friend,
were brought out with great force, happiness, mad
keeping. His reconciliation with Lady Constant at
the clote.—the banging down of the head on one side,
then on the other.--the gradation of looks—the ap-
proach and the embrace, were inimitably
The chief advantage, however, which Mr. Fungal
draws from Sir Bashful, Is the display of the versael
tility of his powers. As a performence„ it ranks with
Sir Peter Teatle and Lord Ogleby; but the pars it.
self is immeasurably below them. Mummy was a
dramatist by trade, rather than by talent. ilis co=
medies, as well as his tragedies, are all hashed up
from the French ; and where they are entertaining
the merit is not his. Mr. C. KcsaGe eaerted his
usual ability as Lovemore, and Mr. JONES and Miss
Bnosyroo were much applauded es the brilliant gal-
lant and gay widow. The dialogue of both chaise.
ter* is, however, below mediactity.e...—eMrs.
PAWCIT was remarkably successful in her per.
formance of Mrs. Loretnare. . Miss FOOTE was in.
teresting in Lady Constant; and Mrs. Gtitai, as
usual, excellent in the Chambermaid. The Comedy
was given out fur repetition on Monday, amidst the
liveliest ezpres.ions of applause. The afterpiece was
the farce of Killing no Murder. Mr. Russux. was
the Buskin, and imitated Coot and INCLEDON very
Successfully. lie showed considerable versatility in
his various characters of Boots, Barber, &c., and was
much applauded.

aIIANUIESTER, Sm. 29.

Two divisions of the 80th Regiment of Foot have
arrived here from Colchester, having been nearly
three weeks on their march. They are to remain
during the winter, and until further orders. The
whole of the regiment were to have come here; but,
on their arrival at Stamford, they were met by an
cypress, ordering three companies of them to (lull,
where disturbances were apprehended, on account of
a turn-out among the carpenters and others, for
an advance of wages. The 4th Dragoons have not
yet arrived ; and it is therefore conjectured they have
been halted en their march between Dorchester and
this place.
• We learn from Preston that the weavers there have
resolved, after finishing the webs now in their looms.
to refuse to work any more unless their full demand
of an increase of 7s. in the pound be complied with
by the masters. They have sent deputations to the
neighbouring villages, and induced the workmen of
the like occupation to agree in pressing this advance,
but recommending them to finish their work now in
their looms. There have been no acts of violence
there, owing, perhaps, to the presence of the military
who were sent there a few days ago ; and so judici-
ously is this kind of force distributed, that in the
event of any serious disturbance a large force could
be collected at the spot in a few hours. W under-
stand bete that the Meeting at Stockport yesterday
to pray for Parliamentary Reform was not nurnerost,
and that it went off very quietly.
The mestere having had recourse to what the men
call the black book, in which the name of any work-
man being found he is refused employment, the
weavers have resorted to the lex talionis f marking
nut certain obnolioos masters, from whom employ-
ment will not be taken in future.
Cotton experienced a very dull sale in our market
to-day, - and prices may be quoted one halfpenny
per lb. lower. Piece goods, however, experienced
no reduction.

The Duchess of DEVONSHIRE arrived yesterday
evening at WARREN'S New hotel, Naw-street) from
Chiswick.
Count LltirEN, the Rassian Ambassador at this
Coot, left Loudon yesterday for Ais-la-Chapelle,
by the directions of the Emperor• ilia Excellency
was accompanied by M. Di POGGIN,OIII, the Sects-
tary of &salmi.
