THE.ITR E. •  COVENT GARDEN.—YouNG's Tragedy of the Revenge was repeated at this theatre, for the third time, tall evening. In the perf'nation of the character of 'he revengeful Zangd, Mr. KEMBLE gave us a faithful pi&ure of the perfidious hyporicfy, which marks the condua of the Moor. Through the whole of the piece, he difplayed a thorough conception of the de. tigning artifice, and feemed to premeditate the progreffive lleps. by which he intended the dellrnaion rf his mailer, h/a4zo. In the .denouernent, where he con. felfes the full extent of his guil', he became truly great, and we difcerne•l the brutal latisladion both in his countenance. ipeech, and aait.n. which fhould pervade the foul of the exulting villain. Mr. C. &EMMA was more animated in illonzo, than we have ohferved Mtn to he in any other charafter. The lloufe WAS crowded in every part.  Wednefday evening tali, the Gentlemen of the GuardF, ilationed at Chatham, with fome G-n ltt- en of the neighbourhood, performed the tragedy o 1 Zara, with the burletta of Torn Tktrnb. The houfe was filled with as elegant aa audience as ever graced its walls, and never did an audience leave it with grt'ater fatisfaflian at the entertainment they had met taith. The performance, b.th of the tragedy am,l the burletta, were admirable ; every pert...niter was cntrcdt and happy in the delineation of the char after he re. prefented ; there were tome who particularly excelled, but as all were aetuated by the fame fentiment of benevolence in coming forward for a eliaritAle pur. pole, it would be invidinth to make didinEtitms. As a pot coach was proceeding to the theatre at Chatham, on Wednefttay evening, with General Lawson, and a patty of Ladies and Gentlemen, it broke down and overturned near the Horfe and Groom in Rochefler, by which accident fome of the party were feverely bruited, but fortunately, no ferions injury was fuftained by any one. Lail Friday afternoon, as Mr,. Knit!, wife of the Mayor of Hereford, was fitting by the fire,her clothes caught fire, and were inflantly in a blaze; by which the was fo dreadfully burnt, that the expired next morning. She was nearly ninety years of age, and been deprived of her light for feveral years. Sunday fe'nnight, a man of the name of Denis Boyle, of Killawel, near Ballymoto, in the county of Sligo, was inhumanly murdered ; his head nearly fevered from his body, his tongue almnd dragged from his head, and his whole frame mutilated in a manner too horrible to defcribe. The only leafrn for this horrid deed is entirely afcribed to his having given teflimony at the late Special Commillian, againtt one of thole unfortunate beings called Threthers. A more dillrefling accident from the imprudent tile of fire arms has not of late occurred than the following :—On Thurfday fe'nnight a gun, without a lock, was fent to a gun fmith's (hop, in Chefler, to get one put on ; the gun, in that Rate, was put into a vice, and an apprentice was affixing a lock on it, when a girl about thirteen years of age, with the in. fant child of her mailer in her arms, came to At a qtreftion of the apprentice, and flood near the muzzle, when the boy unfortunately trying the lock, it went off, and lodged the contents:in her body,car. ying with it part of the infant's clothes, which it ftt fire to.— Immediate furgical Alliance was procured, but in v tin, as the girl only furvived the accident three quarters of an hour. The infant was not hurt.  The Jueges met on Friday in the King's Bench Treartny Chamber, and chofe their Chtunb for the enfuing Lent Affizes, as under, viz.  Nourn K —Right Honourable Lord Ellenborough and the Honourable Mr. Juttice Grote.
