letter from a BOstOnian, in Manchester. England, giving some account of the transac- tiOns of the riOtOus p0pulace, in that place, mentions that the mob attacked and robbed some fifty persons in the streets, of their money, watches, &c. which was suffered by the authorities, because they were unwilling to proceed to extemities with these poor crea- lures. Under date of the e9th April, he says :- .t aA
 "Last evening, after 0 o'clock, the mob were dispersed, and the streets were quiet d,l- ring the night, but this morning they were a. gain filled. in some parts ofthe town, with the most miserable looking wretches that ever saw. took the precautiOn to-day to leave my watch and money at home when went out, for fear of being treatedas numbers were yesterday. I think that every American, who sees and knows what is going on here, will have much reason to be thankful that he be- longs to country where such state ofthings never has. and, trust God, never will exist.''

THEATRIcAL.-On Monday evening The Thea
tire filled to overfowing for the benefit Of Mrs.
HAMBLIN. She sustained the arduous part Of Co.
ra, in Sheridan's translated play of Pzarro or the
death Of Rolla. The play throughout was well
sustained, and well received by the audience, as
has been any one this season. REEDS Pizarro is
an excellent specimen of his dramatic talents,
and it never fell into ADLER hands.
On Wednesday evening, otway's tragedy Of We
nice Preserved, was got up, in which Mr.. Ham
blin sustained the part of Pierre, to Fnn's Jafier,
and although the House but thnly attended, the
play went off in spirited manner. Mrs. Hamblln's
Belvidera was quite good enough, but it has be en-
performed better.
We must not omit to mention that Mr.. Finn,
in Jafer did himse much credit, and went through
with his part in manner which surprised many
who have formed an unfavorable opinion of his ira
gc powers, but who admire HI, comedy and farce.
We speak nothing more than the general ex-
preston of the House, when we say to this gentle-
man, that Jafier is part he ought not to neglect
Friday night, Hamlet and the Rendezvous, to a
fair house.

Mr., FINN.-We congratulate the play-going
public. that this gentleman has arrived among US,
and will continue throughout the dramatic season to
delight US with his delineations of real life, in the
drama. As tragedian, we have not always admir-
ed him; but as light comedian, he has ever been
with us decided favorite. His Bob Logic never
was surpassed, and his Bobby Buckhorse, and his
Beau Shatterly are inimitable The latter charac-
ter particularly, finds in him all that is wanting and
to behold it, is worth dozen Of the common deli
neations of the disciples Of the sock and buskin.
His Jaffier Of Monday evening was excellent, and
we begin to think that we have been in fault in not
liking his tragic performances.
As an author, Mr.. FINs holds respectable rank
among the lterati, and his play ofMontgomery, has
had very successful run the continent, psrticu-
larly iu New Orleans, where il was performed Sc
veral nights in succession.
As a gentleman, Mr.. FINN commands the regard
Of all who know him, and whilst with US, we hope
he will find himself as sgrceably entertained, a he
happily entcrtains US.

Mr.. KEAN, is now in Phiadelphia, playing to
full and fashionable audiences. Although he might
have triumphed over the few enemies who attempt
ed to disturb the harmony of the house when hs
made his first appearance in Baltimore, he declined
to make a second appearance before people,
who were not disposed to pay that attention, and
extend to him those civilities, to which he was
entitled. Independently Of all this, Mr.. KEAN was
not disposed to originate in the city Of mobocrats,
riot or row. and lest there should be repetition
Of those acts Of l8ll which doomed it to everlast-
ing fame" he returned to Philadelphia, where
he is receiving from liberal and geperou, public
those attentions and rewards which we have al
ways right to expect from the just, the generous
and the good. 1t is expected that he will visit
Providence in the course Of two or three weeks.
and it is hoped that our citizens will treat him as
man Of unequalled dramatic genius, and throw the
mantle of charity over his foibles and errors.

The editor of the Allegheny Democrat, asserts in
his paper of the 18th ultimo, that Mr.. CLAY is
confined to his bed with sickness, and says the ca
lamity may be considered as a curse inflicted on
him by Heaven, for voting for Mr.. ADAMS, whom
he denounces as a monarehist. This is Of piece
with the ob.cenity Of :he oppost ion party, and be-
speak their feelings.
That Mr.. CLAY did vote for Mr.. ADAMS, no one
denes but that he acted corruptly in doing so, no
one believes, and lift be of any satisfaction to
the Democrat we shall tell him that Mr.. CLAY.
so far from being confined to his bed with the
curses Of Heaven, was on the 18th instant, in
the full enjoyment Of good health, actively and
ardeutly engaged in promoting the good of that
country, ofwhch the Editor Of the Democrat is, by
adoption, an unworthy citizen.

How weak is woman at the storm she shrinks,
breads the drawn sword, and trembes the thunder
Yet when strong jealousy infames her soul
The sword may glitter and the tempest roar:
She scorns the danger and provokes her fate.
NAT LEE.
In was on a wet and stormy evening of this week,
that as we were passing through obscure street,
at the environs of the town, female voice attract
ed our attention. It was uttered in notes of the
bitterest anguish, and the melancholy intonations,
as they wasted on the wind, told too we'll that she
who gave them vent was of the children Of sor-
row and affection.
Called to the spot from whence the voice pro.
ceeded, female FORM attred in rags and surround
ed by brood Of young children, presented herself
to our vision and in voice of anger demanded why
we presumed to intrude upon those hours which
she devoted to the outpournss of soul surcharsed
with grief. "Indeed, Madam" we replied, ave
would not willingly offend but the voice of dis
ress awakened attention, and it was to minister
toyou that relief which you might demand, that we
hastened.to your habitation.
The little ones, as they lowered around her, sup
plicating for bread, exposed their half famished
forms, and the group presented spectacle from
which we had gladly retired, had not the unhappy
matron begged us to remain, and listen to her sto-
ry. The wind whistled around the miserable ho-
vel, and whilst the rain pattered on the insufficient
roof, she told her dismal tale. ~ am said she, "a
native ofreland, and it is but ten months since I,
with my husband and these little ones, migrated to
America. When we landed, we were poor, but
happy; for o I! John o Connel, God bless the dear
cratur, was as honest a man as ever lived in the
whole of old Ireland-and he brought me and my
childers plenty Of basf and potatoes and all that
Yes! that's what he did, your Honor! and he
was good husband. But then as was saying to
your Honor, there came into our neighborhood
Margaret O'Leary, the wench, and she stole from
my bosom my dear John o Connell, and and my
childers were ruined. When he came home at
night, he came tipsy, and I, just to let him know
I'd not bear il, gave him bating and then we part
ed to meet no more.
Here Aood oftears prevented her utterance;--
and then she raved and implored the wrath ofhea-
ven and the fury of the elements, to fall upon her
head and her children. Convinced that the uns
happy creature was laboring under some infatua-
tion or mental alienation, we were about to leave
err, when John o. Connell, the erafr, entered the
door. and bid Eliza O'Connell to give him her
hand. "Thst's what will, said Eliza O'Connell,
and she sunk inte his embraces, Your aet,"

ALARMING !-On opening paper published at
Angelica, New-York, devoted to the cause of an
unknown candidate for the next Presidency, proba-
bly, Dewitt Clinton, the following sentence caught
our eye =" A paper has been started at Washing.
ton, to support the present administration another
at Providence (R. I under the title of the Litera-
ry Cadet'-and then the Editor goes on to say that
our zeal is Incorporate, and that we engaged ir
hopeless cause.
This is the third time we have been assaled in
this way, and now for all we simply remark,
that in whatever cause we embark, we shall take
the liberty OF managing it in our own way. and at
present do not need any advice from the partizans
of the opposition. The gentlemen seem disposed
to make much of US, by assigning to us place in
the confidence of the Administration. As far as we
are concerned in the charge of papers being esta-
bished by the administration, we repel it as un-
founded, improbable and false. If we had the va
nifty to suppose that the administration would have
selected, us to aid its popularity, we believe we
should have the vanity to boast of the honor con-
ferred upon US. by the government, to the whole
world. The charge is silly and contemplate and
nobody but a jolterhead would prefer it.
