It Mated in -the Lilo to be founded on a comedy of Molicre, but we confess ourselves at a loss to discover iss remotest connection in character, incident. wit, humour, or fable, with any of that distinguished an- • thor's productions. The title gives an idea of the plot. A rich old Plebeian who appears the representative of accuther, i,c on the point of being married to the yagog -daughter, (t presenting May) of a Spanish Nobleman, and this young Lady being engeged to a gallant younglover, resolvesto thwart the match. by atrecting the most unbounded extravagance and a proud domineering behaviour. In this she succeeds, and the Losers are, according to the established courtesy of the Drama, made happy. The dialogue is in general be. law mediocrity, and -the tricks and contrivances were i 9 miserably contemptible as to render altogether unvailing the excellent acting of Fawcett acid Emery,. and thesweet striits of Miss Stephens. '6igns of dis t :Intent appeased at the end of the act, and increased so • Flash towards the close that not one ward could be beard, ami the announcement of the Farce for repetition was . -completely inaudible. The scenery was very splendid and deserved a better-piece. The music by Bishop is pretty, and a Duet between Fawcett and Miss Stephens was encored. The piece has been withdrawn. The Bill proposed to be introduced into the Mouse of Commons, relative to the giving security fur the •elchts of Drury Lane Theatre. will, it is said, probably be followed .by another, fur dispos!ug of the property by Lottery. The agriculture rcrorts from every optarter of the -Continent appear to be of the most flattering deserip-, tion. Ever since the beginning of April the weather 'bus been uncommonly warai ; the trees are almost all' out of blossom ; the fruit is act, and the corn is mostly -in ear, and promises an abundant harvest. flit price of corn has fallen rapidly ; the hectolitre of rye, which., atilt' at this period last year for 8 dollars, 4 gr. 8 pf.

" Far these' thirty years pale," says an article from Vienna, " there has not been a more fruitful and pro ductive harvest and 'vintage in Austria than we have reason to expect this year.
