ADELPHI THEATRE. ALFEASTIRRE, TUE VENTRILOQUIST..—We feel great pleasure in calling the attention ofour Readers to the perfor mance of this gentleman, which are really of a very extrardinaiv (description ; when he made his first appearance before a British audience. (which we believe was about twelve months since.) — m. Alexandre laboured under the difficulties which attend a want et familiarity with the language of the country, and nearly the whole of his address was unavoidably delivertsl in French ; we cannot ton much commend the diligence with which he has, in to short it time, overcome this difficulty, and qualified himself to speak EnAlish in a very intelligible manner. Tl4ti nature of ventriloquism has been too long known to render wry desaiption of it necessary here, but justice requires us to state that M. Alexand.e exhibits the finest specimens of this art wh'cli have ever come under our observation ; the facility with which the voice is changed, and the perfect illusion which is produced. cannot be adequately expressed by any verbal descrip tion; they must be heard, to be duly appreciated: the rapidity with which the artist transmuted himself into the various clia ra,ters which he represented, was truly astonishing. The tiialogue, which has been written for the purpose of dis eaying M. Alexandre's very extraordinary powers, is really amusing. and the performance altogether gave great satisfaction to Cie audience, which was numerous and respectable. Mr. T. HOOK.—The report of the Commissioners of Colonial Audit, upon the case of Mr. Theodore has been printed. It states that the defi ciency cf that gentleman, in his office of treasurer of the Isle of France, amounts to 12,8851. 14s.— '1 he commissioners thus conclude their report, "We f,:el ourselves imperiously called upon to declare, that no circumstances have come to our knowledge th:it could excuse us fir recommending that Mr. 11 , ,0ke should be relieved from any part of the sum f-r which he now stands accountable." An extent I as accordingly been issued on the part of the crown t:g-tinst his person and property. Mr. Hook has published a defence, in which he states himself to Fe grossly imposed upon by a person in whom he confided, and eaters into a long vindication of his own conduct. From the Constitalionel of Sunday last, the fol -I:,wing account is given of a dispute on the coast of France, dated Granville, March 26, between the English oyster-boats and the French fishermen.— '• The English fishermen have the audacity to come and 'fish on •,ur oyster-banks, situate between one end two leagues from this town, by which we sustain considerable damage; hitherto the fishing. guard had confined themselves to threats, which the English have uniformly treated with contempt. To day they again assembled to the number of nearly '.lOO buts; but our fishing-guard have acted with more energy than they had heretofore displayed. After requiring the English to retire, which they r ositively refused to do the guard saluted them with several discharges of cannon ; the English at last retired, but avowing their determination to return with increased numbers, and oppose force to force. It is very desirable that government should take effectual measures to prevent this sort of piracy, tvhich is productive of incalculable injury to our town, the inhabitants of which subsist only by the poduce of' the fishery." On Wednesday the Lord Mayor held a Special Court of Aldermen at Guildhall, Mr the purpose of electing a Recorder, iu the room of the late Sir J. Stivester, Bart, which was fully attended. The thanks of the Court were unanimously voted to the Lord Bishop of Llandalf and the Rev. Dr. God.

Cannion Sergeant, was unanimously elected, and, being sent fur, attended and took the oath of Lace. Ihe Lord Mayor de clared a vacancy of Steward of Southwark, in the room of Sir J. Silvester, and the next Conti was appointed to fill up the same. Uri Monday se'nnight a boy of 12 years of age, set fire to a sited in the parish of Kenninghall, which U'ikg burnt down, Lut happily Without doing further damage. The boy was apprehended and committed to the county gaol, by J. Wright, Esq. on his own ecaiii;ssion. On IVednesday afternoon a number of' persons front Woodton, in Norfolk, assembled and destroyed a threshing machine on the farm of Mr. R. Roc, of ti.-2 former place. On appLeatien being made to J. J.

TEN GUINEAS REWARD. o PRINTERS, ENGRAVERS,&c.—Whereas Ti t has been discovered that certain Persons are in the habi of Printing and Vending Labels, being copies or imitations of those affixed to the bottles containing the GENUINE BLACKING prepared by DAY and MARTIN, thereby en abling unprincipled dealers to impose on their customers a bad and injurious article. We hereby offer a reward of Ten Guineas o any Person win shall give such information as will lead to the conviction of any one guilty of these illegal practices. DAY AND MARTIN, Feb. Ism 97, high Holhorn. APRINCE, the Original Proprietor, line so im proved the RUSSIA OIL, that it will be pleasant, and will keep in all climates. Through the discovery of an extra valuable ingredient, and which has been proved, will he sure to assist in preserving, and promoting the hair, will make it grow thick and long, prevent it falling oft' or ever turning grey, and will be sure to assist in restoring it to bald places, if the least signs of roots are remaining. And as the Proprietor is now resolved not to prepare his Russia Oil without that valuable in gredient. although very expensive; therefore the Proprietor cannot possibly sell the ounce bottle far less than Ss. and the large bottle, which contains Live ounces, for One sovereign, which Is a saving. And as some think the Russia 0.1 dear, the reason is easily ascertained ; for instance.an ounce bottle of Oil of Roses is only about 35.; and an ounce bottle of the best and genuine Otto of Roses is five guineas. The reason is, because the one is far more preferable to the other. So it is with PRINCE'S Russia Oil, which is far preferable to any other article fur the Hair. ('roved by affidavit. the 24th of November 1814, before the lord Mayor, that A. Prince is the Original Proprietor in the Universe of the Russia Oil; therefore if any Perfumer, Medicine Vender, Hair Dresser, or any one else, sells Russia flit. that is not Prince's, they are impostors, as t h ey sell counterfeits to their customers. Ask for Prince's Russia Oil, and observe " Prince" on 'the wrapper and seals of each bottle: without, it is not genuine, and cannot answer the purpose. There has been of late Counterfeit Russia Oil sold in almost every street ; and Impostors have made the covers of the ('oun • terfeit Russia Oil so much like the Genuine, and even imitated the original l'roprietor's name; therefore purchasersahould be cau tious, and haven of the Proprietor, or of a respectable Perfumer or Medicine Vender. As several ladies and Gentlemen in the country have complained that they here bean taken in by unprin cipled persons selling them counterfeit. therefore. by enclosing the money in a letter for the Russia Oil, &c. directed to Mr. Prince, No. 9, Poland .street, Oxford-street, London ' Mr. I'. will send them by return of coach to any part of the kingdom. Even Medical Gentlemen have 1 of:dished in the Gazette of Health. that Prince's Rtisia Oats superior to any Oil for the hair; will rc,to-e it on bald places, and strengthen weak hair winner titan any other preraratien. Also Mr. Marshall, the first Conic flair dres , er, of Wig - more Street; Mr. Damon, Hair Dresser, &c. to the Royal Family. Weymouth; Mr. Adams, Boar Lane, Leeds; and hundreds of other principal Hair Dres sers, have declared that they recommend Prince's Russia Oil be:lire any other, us front experience they have found it to be the best for ',reserving and promoting the Hair, clearing the scurf, and keeping the head and hair clean; although there are other Articles for the Hair daily ptiffell in the Newspapers. But there are thousands of Ladies and Gentlemen have a good head of Hair by using PRINCE'S celebrated RUSSIA OIL. But some Ladies being persuaded to use other Oils, they soon found the tl:nerence, as their Hair began to iall off; or get grey. Ladies will find Prince's Russia Oil preferable to any other Oil for dressing their own, or false hair, as it gives a natural gloss, softens, and curls it. Gentlemen wearing powder ought to use it instead of pumatum; it promotes eybrows, whiskers. Ac. Suld 11' itolesale, Retail, and for Exportation, by die sole Pro prietor, A.

Barley is rather brisk in sale at our last prices. The Oat trade is rather in an improving state, and sales are effected upon rather better semis than last week. In Beans and Peas there is no alteration worth mentioning. The market, upon the whole, is rather better than for some time past. CORN EXCHANGE, WEDNESDAY. Aram 10. The supply of Wheat this day is very considerable, and sale, not quite so brisk as on Monday—the prime samples, however. fully maintain our last prices; the inferior sorts arc rather lower. In Barley the alteration is not worth noticing. sales arc much the same as on Monday. In Oats there is no great variation; the best sorts went oft at Mondi.y's prices, but the others are only of nominal value. very few parcels being disposed of. In Beans and Peas there is no alteration, but thesetarticles are not much in demand.
