The receipts, on the opening of Drury-lane Theatre,
were 7501.; they have never since exceeded COOL
till Mr. KEA WS appearance in Richard, when t:iey
amounted to nearly the same sum. His salary has
already been doubled, by the liberality of the Com-
mittee.

Mr. KAAN'S attraction is unprecedented in the an-
nals of Theatricals—even CooKE's performances are
left at an iwmeasurable distance ; his first three
nights of Richard produced upwards of 18001. and
on repeating that character on Thursday night for
the 4th time, the receipts were upwards of 7001.
The applause he meets with is really enthusiastic;
indeed, it is generally admitted, that he was ho-
noured with more general approbation on Lis last
appearance, than ever was experienced by the oldest
actor on the stage.

A man charged with a horrid murder in Ireland
was detected in London a fear days since, and was
taken into custody. Ille-was sent otf on Wednesday.
evening, in the custody of a Bow-street Officer, and
Mr. Ward, the Messenger on the Irish Establish-
ment, fur Dublin.
MELANCHOLY Even.—The ferry-boat, plying
between Cardross and Port-Glasgow, upset last Sun-
I
day night, on her passage to the latter place.—There
were siz men and two women known to be in the
boat, including the two boatmen. Two men were
got in the boat on , Monday morning. No others ;
have yet been found. The boat had gone down with
her sails set; it is supposed just at putting about the
end of the bank. It is understood that some of the
passengers were a good deal intoxicated. The two
men found in the boat were a boatman- and a passen-
ger ; the passenger's watch had stopped at nine
o'clock. The above is the number which left the
house where the ferrymen have their quartets, but
as the boat had put back, and taken in some more,
it is uticertain what number ultimately set out in her;
all of whom must have perished.
, %Vire Bu YING.—A gallant son of Mars, in Notting-
ham, of -the name of Lincker, though on the wrong
side of, fifty, still possesses the power of captivating
