I nn RI:(;14 - 1 . E11% 11itt:r:1* LANE, COVENT-G IRDEN. .On Tuesday evening last, Mr. Kean performed the character of Richard. The house was crowded to its highest benches at the commencement. It is impossible to desciibc the peculiar nature of Keart's acting, or the effects it produces. 'lite fervor, the subtlety, thc sar caste, the flattery of the hypocrite arc all demonstrated with such truth, 'tt, familiarized as we are to theatric delusion, we become spell-bound, and believe it to be rest. On Thursday he remained the character of Ber tram. We know not whether Mr. Maturin wrote this part purßosely for Mr. Kean ; but, withnu doubt, nothing ch. be imagined more congenial with his riwers;—nothing can be found mom in unison with the peculiar tact of his mind, so often manifested in characters, enveloped in the gloom of passion, than the furious, heart-broken, th,. despairing Bertram!—'Phis is the peculiar/ forte of Kean. Mace hint amitht, a chaos of gloomy and dismal affections, of horrid reso lutions :".,r the past, of dreadfill machinations for the present, of hopeless views of the future,—he will tlwre " Ride on the whirlwiml and (rot ct the storm." Ther..! may, perhaps, be occasionally too much of the whirlwind in the teinFsts of his passion, to accord strictly with nature ; but it is impossible not to be spell-bound by his intense feeling and overwhelming energy. Miss Somerville re-appeared in I mogenr. Ski has improved the management of her voice ; her figure and features have acquired an encreased portion of beauty ; and her voice a melting sweetness,4liat accords with all the finer feelings of the heart. She will arrive at the highest honours of her profession. On Monday evening the Tragedy of the Distressed Mother was performed at this Theatre, in which Mr. Macready, son of the late Manager of the Birmingham Theatre, pe:•thrmed th.: part of Orestes. This actor has a good person, an agreeable, but strongly marked counte nance, and a well modulated voice. With assiduity, and with acquirement of more variety in his manner, he will become a valuable accession to the Theatre. He was r.:ceived with much applause ; and in the last scene, where his r::morse stings him to the soul, the audience testified their sense of his merits with three distinct rlunds of applause.—After the play succeeded a musical Entertainment, called Yours or Mine? said to be the roduction of the late Mr. Tobin.—Credeat Apollo.—The followiag are the nr.mes and representatives of the cha racters : Justice Fidget Mr. BLANCHARD. Justice Sparrowhawkc Mr. Sim Mows. Captain Harcourt Mr. SINCLAIR. Careless Mr. DURUSET. O'Blarney Mr. TOKTLY. fluraphry Mr. EXERY. Sophia Miss STEPIIENN. Susan Flouncit. Mr , GIBBS. The ground work and materials of this piece arc plain and simple, with little incident and still less interest. The liiece opens with the arrival of Captain Harcourt at his native village, after an absence of many years, and a report of his death, li e Finds his father is no more, his hereditary estate in the possession of Sparrowhawke, and his beloved Sophia about to be torn from him. 'I he avarice ofJustice Fidget had induced him to consent to. and has .lll the marriage of his daughter with Sparrowhawke, which event is about to take place. when Captain Harcourt obtains an interview with stophia, and prevails upon her to elope with him. Sparrowhawke ac cidentally discovering the arrival of the Captain, and knowing thi con sequence to him would be the loss of the Harcourt estate, and. it not ha.stily prevented, that of Sophia's fortune also, resolves to keep liar eourt out of the way, for which purpose he employs his clerk, ti'lllar ney. This blundering agent. instead of the Captain. apprehends Care less. his friend, and nephew to Justice Fidget, Who. upon being brought before his uncle, acquaints him with the marriage of his daughter; and, pm.ing to him that her husband is the lawrill heir to the liar court ca:tte, .futitice Fidget cheerfully joins the levers' hands, to she total ilimacaufitarc of Sparrowhawke and his schemes. The music is exquisitely delicate and exprce'ivc ; but, up , mi the whole, fir better calculated for a concert rom, than fur the less cultivated ear of a mixed audi ence. On announcing the piece for a future represen iati in, a general apathy ciftned to prevail ; and it was difficult, for some time, to determine, whether applause .u• disapprobation was predominant ;—the ayes, however, at length carried the day. • The fnllowing is a favourable specimen of the poetry.-- SUNG.

The Archbishop of Naples has issued a mandate to his clergy, containing a list of sins for which,they are not to grant absolution, and which arc specially' reserved for his own recognizance. Among these sins one is with regard to females, the exposure of their bosoms or their arms above the elbow, and with regard to males, the wearing, making, or vending, of tight breeches. These sinners are not to be absolved, under two months penance. Etiquette at Madrid is undergoing a reform, which we should not he surprised to see tbllowed by some other Courts, who may justly pretend to quite as much taste for.-elegance and comfort as that of Spain. It appears, that at the solicitation of tha principal ladies of Madrid, the use of hoop petticoats will be suppressed in the new Ctrurt. Parochial Petticoat Government.—lt is a singular fact, that three of the thur present Overseers of the parish of St. Michael's Cambridge, arcfinta/ea ; viz. Mrs. Stevens, a widow, Mrs. Worby, and Miss Sharpe. Mr. Yorke, the masculine officer, kindly transacts the Ladies' business. A hoax was played off at Al ate►ate last week, by a wag, who employed the crier to announce Madame Saqui's performances on the tight-rope, for the gratification of the inhabitants of the Isle of Thanct. Company flocked from all quarters, and bore their disappointment with wonderful good humour. Considerable bustle and stir were excited last week in the neighbourhood of Blackheath, by upwards of 150 families having received cards of invitation to a splendid ball and slipper for the 26th, to have been given there by a gentleman well known in the commercial world, which afterwards proved to be a hoax. The Royal Artillery Band at Woolwich was engaged the tht occasion. Pastry-cooks in that vicinity and town received orders; as did also tailors to make new liveries; tallow-chandlers, to furnish wax lights and coloured lamps ; tent-makers, to erect marquees and booths ; hatters to furnish dress hats ; glovers, fruiterers, poulterers, with a variety of other tradesmen. A fashionable Banda, though otherwise a very fashion able specimen of the staple of England, yet when equipped in his cossack trowsers, and his morning great coat dang ling to his heels, presents an appearance not unlike a sealki , lg bale of broad cloth. The Belles of the present day, in decorations of their dresses, seem to consult the taste of the upholstrrers more than of their milliners. From the quantity of cord, fringe, bobbin, which they display in all directions, on their robes and petticoats, they exhibit all the variety of a fringe-maker's pattern-book. Massinger, in the New ;Ply to Pay Old Debts, alludes to the Licensing Justices of that day. When Tapwell applies to Justice Greedy for a license he says, Who? Tapwril?

The Queen, accompanied by the Princesses, the Dole of Clarence, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, gave a rundfcte at Frogmore, on Tuesday, to which the neighbouring nobility were invited. The amusements of the day commenced about twelve o'clock with an exhi bibition of cricket playing by some of the boys of Eton school. After these lads bad amused themselves and the spectators fir a couple of hours, they were al lowed to move off to the tents, where they found plenty of substantial refreshment. In the mean time her Ma jesty's guests began to dance, and =tinned that cheerful pastime till iimr o'elouk, when they also were regaled with a sumptuous dinner. In this manner the whole afternoon passed away, to the gratification of all preseat; and in the evening her Majesty bud a select party. CANTALS.—Buth the Grand and the Royal Canals have stopped payment of the interest of the de bentures—the latter some time back, and the tinmer has a few days ago followed its example—thus have, not ne.:rely many individuals, but many families and public charities been thrown into the most distressingembnr rassments, and a great whlitional distress has been added to the long list of calamities which are oppressing Ire land. SEPTEMBER 30. CAPTAIN WRIGHT. TO THE EDITOR. Stn,—lt not being generally known that the gallant Sir Sidney Smith has caused to be erected a Monument to the Memory of Captain Wright, at Paris, as an old brother officer of that unihrtunate gentleman, I request your insertion of the Epitaph, which I copied on the spot. Captain Wright's remains were buried in the Ceme tery of Pere La Chaise at Paris, and his friend Sir Sid. ney has this year erected a Monument to his memory, the upper part of which is of a pyramidal or obelisk form, on the plane of which are the letters 1). 0. M. and un,erneath an urn, in basso relievo, with two weeping figures on each side, with torches reversed, the whole of the base, and the pedestal of the urn, are divided into six compartments, into which the inscription is dis tributed in Latin, of which the following is a translation : HERE LIES INHUMED, JOHN WESLEY WRIGHT, by birth an Englishman, Captain in the British Navy, distinguished both among his own Coluitrynien and ForrUners for skill and couragq to whom, of those things which lead to the summit of glary, nothing was wanting but the opportunity. His Ancestors, whosc Viztucs he inherited, he honoured by his Deeds. Quick in apprehending his Orders, active and bold in the execution of them. In success modest, in adverse eirimmstances firm; in doubtful en terpriats wise and prudent. A while successful in his career, at length, assailed by adverse winds, and on a hostile shore, he was captured; and being soon aft brought to Paris, was confined in the Prison called the Temple, hip/nous murders, and Owed under the most. rigid custody; but in bonds, and iinffering severities still more oppres sive, his fortitude of mind, and tidclity to his country, remained un shaken. A short time after, he was found in the morning with his throat cut, and dead in his bed. lie died the 28th of October, 1805, aged 36. To be lamented by his Country—avenged by his God! WILLIAM SIDNEY SMITH, in memory of ancient friendship, erected this Monument in the Year of the Christian .Era, iSiG. COMMON COUNClL—Thursday, a Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall, when, on the motion of Mr. Browne, it was resolved, that a dutiful and loyal Address should be presented to the Prince Regent, con gratulating his Royal Highness on the glorious result of the recent proceedings of the Fleet under the command of Lord Exmouth, before the City cf Algiers.—The thanks of the Court and the Freedom of the City, to gether with a Sword of the value of t'oo guineas, were likewire unanimously voted to be presented to Lord Ex mouth, G. C. B. and the Ereedem of the City and a sword value 100 guineas, to Rear-Admiral Sir David Milne, Kne—Five thousand pounds were ordered to Le paid for building the new City Barge.—The Committee reported on the qualifiattions necessary for Candidces for the vacant office of Clerk of the Coal Market, which was read and agreed to, and the next Court was appointed for filling up the same. PRICES OF MEAT AND BREAD.—The variation in the prices in the metropolis for a quartern loaf is unaccount able ; some of them demand 130. others Is. and at a shop in Holborn the price is only 94d; at this shop 160 Sacks of flour arc said to have been baked in one week. According to the assize tables, fimmerly in use, from the statement of flour at market, the quartern loaf would • not have exceeded Is. 04d. whereas the general price among the Bakers is ls. 1 1 ,d. the disproportion between the prices of flour and bread has caused the Magistrates in several districts to revert to the old system of regulating the price by setting an assize. Unless some means are devised to check the rapacity of millers, bakers, and butchers, in vain shall Providence grant us abundance. The farmer may sell his produce at a moderate price: but while the present system of combination continues, that produce can never be purchased by the consumer but at an exorbi tant rate. In order to reduce the greater price of meat to that moderate rate at which it is evident it can be afforded, a Correspondent recommends that the inhabi tants of the different parishes should call a meeting, and agree to purchase of any butcher who would supply them with good meat at a fair price. Louis SELKIRK'S COLONT.—Disastrous intelligence has been received from Lord Selkirk's American colony. After the dispersion of the settlers last autumn, as has been betbre stated in this paper, it wetild ::celn that his new governor, Mr. Semple, whore name is familiar to our readers from his travels it: Spain, and his discussions with Lord Cathcart relative to his imprisonment in Prus sia, proceeded to re-establish the colony on the Red River with a number of emigrants who went into the country from Hadson's Bay, in the last autumn, and remained there during the winter. Mr. Semple had instructions to establish the introduction of Lord Selkirk and the Hudson's Bay Company, and in consequence of some dis pute with the Indians us to procuring provisions, bad with the Cant4ian traders, he directed a party of about :20 men, who were with him in the spring, to fire into an Indian MIMIC, carrying provisions for the trailers.— This was immediately returned,' and melancholy to relate, Mr. Semple and his whole party became the victims of the affray. Another expedition fitted out by Lord Sel kirk's agents in the remote countries of the N.W. has been equally unfirtunate, 19 of the party having perished of hunger. These accounts met Lord Selkirk on Lake Superior, where he had arrived with a reinforcement of about SOO men, principally foreigners, enlisted front Meuron's regiment, who had been discharged in Canada. His Lualltin's intentions as to further proceedings were not knowu." • • . . i , 1.1 1 70 TTTE NATIONAL REGISTER. SEPTEMBER 30. _ DU.1.4.1T1C RI:(;ISTER CAPTAIN WRIGHT.. LUDICROUS.
