J. B. Robsrts.-The London Morning Adver-
user oil September 25th, contains the following
hotice OF James Booth Roberts, formerly of
TINS city, and whose engagements at the Drury
LAhe Iheatre we mentioned some time hack.
Last night Mr.. j.. b. Roberts, the American
tiagedlan, made his third debut before a Bri-
hsii audience in the tragedy of sc King Rich
aru nj Mr.. Roberts acting in the part
gulshed his Sir Giles and his King Lear. The
profound assimilation, which is the prOmi-
hent trait IN Richards character, was made an
parent through out his performance in the most
artistic manner. His wooing of Lady Anne
exhibited all the smoothness and flnesse of the
cider kean, of whom he frequently reminded
us in this scene, which was warAny appIauded
The great efforts for an actor arc however,
III the latter part of the play, when, deserted
by fortune and surrounded by enemies, he
desperately defles his fate, and with bravery
worthy OF better cause, struggling with des-
tiny to the last moment Of his life. In these
trying scenes Mr.. Roberts sustained himself
with greater power than we imagined he pos
sessed, and elected burst of enthusiastic ap-
plause by his admirable acting in the tent
scene-~ He also obtained recognition Of gem
uine approval in the concluding scene Of the
tragedy, and unanimous recall at the fall OF
the curtain.
GAS this mag probably be the last character
no will perform at Drury Lame during his pres
ent engagement, we may briefly state our con-
Vlctlon that lew better tragic actors have
ever visited this country from tho United
States"
Outrageous COadHcL.-As Mrs. AlTich, Wild
ow OF the lItc John AiFich, and Mrs. Samuel
Stroud, were coming to our city with market
ing last Tuesday evening, they were assaulted
by several boys, near the junction OF Front
street and the Newport Road, who cut the
rear curtain of the dearborn, making an aper-
hands, ana steal articles that came within their
reach. On being discovered, and warned TO
deslSt, they assailad the ladies with shocking
oaths, and abused them in a most yillainous
manner. In endeayoring TO prevent their pill
tering, Mrs. A. upset basket of eggs, break
ing several of them. We learn this lady has
frequently been annoyed by boys fol-
lowing her dearborn for the purpose of
stealing peaches, and Oh several occasions she
haa been molssted on returning home, when
passing near Hedgevine and in going up the
hill near DR.. Browns, she could scarcely keep
her groceries from being stolen. We learn
that Mrs. W. X. Finn has also been assaulted
by these roguss, and one lady had her grocer
les taken out OF her dearborn a few weeks
ago. Such conduct is intolerable, and We
therefore suggest that the police officer of the
First Ward should BIO in the neighborhood OF
Hetgeyille on Tuesday and Friday evenings,
and also on Wednesday and Saturday morn
inss, and endeavOr to catch the pilferers.
