(COMMUNICATED.) Theatric t. Whilst the insufferable heat of the season is approaching to unstring ad the active tnergies of the mind, and render either personal or mertal exertion title less than martvrd iui. I cannot but express my satisfaction and delight at having serviceable instruction and the most rational amusement, atToided by scenic representations on the ?tage, rendered accessab'.e hv the very welcome Visit of Mr. I 'h ake's company of Comedians. Since the arrival of Mr. Drake, his selections have been very judicious for the twste nf the town, r.nd the strength of his company ; and all t'ar I hive witnessed 4 vent off " adiniiaMv with a warmth of gratulati'n an ple asure, honorable to our citiz-'us and to the comp-nv. Indeed from the manifestation cf talents embraced in this company, it is only to be regretted they cannot here augment their n ip bers. However, there are now a sulhcicncv to entice and while th.'v p'av 'In ir parts us heretor.re, with fide'itv to themelres, and i notice to others, thev will.

The campaign opened with Mr. Inchbald's translation of the " Midnight Hour," and Diamond favorite Drami ol the 44 Hunter of the Alps." I then refrained from expressing my favorable ophu m of the performers, until time ami opportuni y might coniirm or correct it. Many opportunities since have confirmed my first impressions. Those who have witnessed the performances from the first, can certainly best appreciate the individual merit of each performer. fne Adopted Child," 4 Douglas," :i 1 the 44 Chi id of Nature," have re ,;Li!aled my judgment. The representation of Douglas, was patticulariv interesting not alone because it vas the first i'rage ly crer brotigiit forward here, but because those who ire acquainted with the history of the i)rama recollect that its first performance on the Edinburgh boards provoked the an.rcrof the Kirk and be

cause it is interspersed with narratives which make a powerful appeal to the heirt and the language throughout is very rich and poetical. The performance was ve ryrespcclab!e indeed. That beautiful little actress, Mrs. Mongin, as Lady Rati' dnl.'.Si more than realized my expecta'ions ; and Mr. S. Drake was all I could wish in the imperious and wily Giemlvon ; hut Mr. A.Drake was the proaigy of the evening ; his versatility ot talent cf the highest order, was apparent in the character of Young Vvrx'al ; and after hearing the bnel account of his exploits and martiai ardour, I could not but exclaim with Lord Randolphi . W:is ever tah With such a gallant modesty reaears.d?" There' was much to praise in the I'nimated and lovely Mrs Fisher's Anna ; Mr. Fisher, who never seems to forget that while he is seen by the audience he has his part to perform, icccivcd and merited applause Mr. Duglass. as old .Yorval, was evcry thing to life and in the interview with his adopted son, was truly great. I occupy too much room by extending my remarks, or I should send you a notice of each of the oth er performances, equally creditable to the company. I must, before 1 close, Gxpiess my surprise at the thinness of the house on .Thursday c- ... venimr;. l ne entertainments were exquisite and numerous and I real ly think Mr. Alexander's inimitable representation of Dr Last in the in terlude, and Brumagen, in the farce, would have been applauded on the boards of Covent Garden. This jrcntieman is unquestionably one of the first connc performers of his dar. If these remarks be acceptable, you may occasionally hear trom me. A CITIZEN.

200 Dollars R B W A U 1) !

A REWARD of Two Hundred iTu. Dollars will be given for the ap prehension and conviction of James Stephens, a boy, and late a Mail-Carrier on the route from Russelsvilie to Morganfield, (Ky ) Said Stephens robbed the Mail on Sunday the 1 1th of May, m his route to the former place, a b int 4 miles from the latter ; and on Wednesday the 17th, on his return rom Russeiviile to Morgar.ficld, aout 8 mites beio Greenville. His depredations are suppo'sed to have )cen extensive and frequent. His obbene were commuted without inury to the rnil-bags, by drawing the etter packets through the holes on he mouth thereof. Many mutilated ctters, and some entire post-bills and wrappers have been found ; some of vhich are in the possession of Mr. Weir, P. M. at Greenville, (Ky.) When the above letters were brount to Mr. Weir, he despatched two genlemcn in pursuit of the robber. rhey arrested him on Saturday night. the 20th tilt, at Morganficld, whence he made lus escape from them tne lext morning (Sunday.) I have since been in pursuit of him, and am in clined to believe he has gone down the river towards New-Orleans. . The father, who resides in Madi sonville, Kv. went after his son the ooment he heard of his escape, and lad not returned when I last passed hrough that p'ac.. Whether he succeeded in finding him, or went to iid in hr Might, I know not. Forty dollars in Georgia bank notes, is ail the money recovered ol the boy, and vhich he confessed he had stolen from the mail. '1 he money is in the possession o cf Mr. Weir, or Mi. j eenville, w hence tne let-1 4 Webb, ot Green ter came tha contained it ; its destination, and who was the wiiter he pretended not to know. Sai l boy has two brothers, youn.; men, the eldest n tanner and cmrier, residing near six miles from Evnsville, in Indiana, on tiie road to Pi'mceton and Vincenncs, and it is not improbable he may see k refuge with them. He formerly rode on the route from Hopkinswlie to Henderson, Ky. and is well known at the latter place and on the road to Madisonviilc. He lus been heat d to ten his parents that he would air. away to Orleans, and thence proceed to sea. The said James Stephens is about 4 feet 9 inches high, said to be under 14 years of age, rather stout and full i;i his person, hair light, eyes blue, face round, full and freckled. His appearance is good He is said to bemuch addicted to lying, and to possess an uncommon share of art and cunnimr lor such a youth. He had W 0 on when he escaped, a black hat and siioes, a short coat ot pule mixed domestic blue and white, and twilled pantaloons of the same coiour. The two latter articles were recently purchased new at Morganfield, with money robbed from the mail. It is probable he w ill change his name and apprrel. The subscriber will pay the above reward for his apprehension knd conviction. A B. LlNDSLEY, Agent Gen. P. Ojficc.
