CloglgX-SQUAaa--Geerge Practoro a niiserabielook in. man, with scarcely a covering, and . without a sent, was, yesterday, brought up to thil Of f ice, by a Berjeant of the 2d Regiment of Foot Guards, on a charge of selling bilk of a seditious tendency. The f3erjesat produced a bundle of the bills he took from him; they were only extracts from the Morkiug Papers of Tuesday, and a copy of Mr. Hunt's Lester to Lord admouth ; he said the man had been followed about the4reets by an immense mob, whom he was haranguing in very improperlanguage, declaring that Mr. Hunt ought not to be in custody, and boasting of his triumphant liberationo,accusing the Govern ment of cruelty to his Majesty's subjects, and the ne cessity of opposing the Ministers with energy, and supporting the true rights of the People.—The Ma gistrate, on perusing the bills, declared that he saw nothing improper in them ; and told the prisoner, if he derived any trifling profit from the sale, he was at full liberty to condone it, but cautioned him, at the same time, against making any improper use of his tongue. He commended the Serjeant for his loyal conduct, and the prisoner, who shed tears, was then discharged. MA ItLEOROTICIIII•ST MIL KT. BEN EP IT SOCIILIMr. Yesterday John Cunningham, a taylor, 70 years of age, summoned the Stewards of a Benefit Society, called The Hope, held at the Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Cambridge-street, Golden-square, to shew cause why they refused to pay him sixteen shillings per week, having declared, through infirmity, on the Club. It „Appeared in evidence that the Plaintiff had been a men formerly in very opulent circumstances, but bid been driven to distress, which caused him to elleir the Seciety,to which he had tendered the usual pityrnsets for several years, and was one of the oldest teunberi belonging to it. In consequence of an at tack of the gout, which deprived him of the use of his hand, he claimed the assistance of the Club, which was granted. Shortly after he was visited by the Stewards, who found him with a skein of thread in his hands, which caused them to scratch his name, and refuse paying the money. Plaintiff stated he I had a man at work, and was in the act of taking him the thread when they happened to meet him, but he was not at work himself.—The Stewards persisted that he was at work, that they even saw the coat be was making laying on the table, the goose was hot, the thread was on his shoulder, and, on examining his angers, the marks of the needle were on them, and he appeared very much confused. Magistrate--That makes not the least difference. If you even saw him sitting cross-legged, with 'the needle and thread in his hand, unless you actually saw him at work ; there is a deficiency in the evi dence, and I could not order him to be dismissed from the Club. You must swear positively that he was at work, making the garment, to gain your object. Steward—That's rather *harp upon us, your Wor- ship; bat to keep some order in the Society, we wish to come to some decisive point—the goose was hot, ready to press the coat with. The Magistrate decided the point in favour of the plaintiff; and ordered him to be paid up to the next luarter, the neglect of which, he said, would autho rise a distress warrant to be levied. • MANSION House.—Yesterday a young man and his wife and two children, were brought before the Loop MAYOR, by Martin, the. officer, under the cir cumstances stated in the following account :—Mar tin, Branscomb, and Merchant, the officers, were on Monday evening looking out for squalls, and having occasion tor into a public-house, observed a whole family passing by in the most deplorable condition. A woman appeared bending under the weight of an infant she had scarcely any covering upon her, and seemed to be in the very last stage of pregnancy.— Upon her feet were no shoes, and, of course, no stockings. The child in her arms was fi lthy and al most naked, and was quarrelling with the breast, which seemed to have lost the power of giving nourishmentby a long series of privations and misery. Her husband presented a picture of distress scarcely less appalling. He was in tatters, and carried ano ther child, who joined its father in lamentation. Bread was the cry of this wretched family. The officers called them in to give them something to eat, and the woman seized a piece of bread with greediness, and began to devour it. When the man was about to do the same, Allen, the street-keeper, entered, but the mement the father of the family saw this sudden visitor, he took to his heels, and left his wife and children. The officers pyrsned and seized him, but it was with great difficulty they succeeded in bring ing him back. He resisted in the most powerful manner, tumbled the officers about, and attempted to bite them. The wife and children set up the most tremendous shrieks, and the populace gathered about them, full of compassion for the family, and of in dignation towards the police. The officers searched the man, and found upon him a bag containing £9, in half-crowns and shillings. Convinced that he had made this sum by the practices of which be hid so lately given a sample, they took him, with his, fa- . mily, to the Compter. The difficulty in doing so was increased by the conduct of busy persons, who raised a cry against the officers, and said they were' acting merely from a motive of pecuniary advantage. The officers complained to the LORD MAYOR that this habit had grown into a most serious injury, for all assistance was refused upon cases of emergency.— The LORD MAYOR desired, that the officers should not attend to any clamour, bat pursue their duty, and act with their usual propriety.—The scale prisoner said he had got the money pertly from his mother, and partly from a strange gentleman. He had told the officers that he received it from the Scotch So-, ciety. The officers added, that although the family igst their other property A said, he should have punished, as an example le began to cry bitterly, •ould be obliged to go to LORD MAYOR was in family about theil- business, manner.

This superb Theatrical Establishment, so useful as . well as ornamental to the Metropolis, opens for the season on Monday next. The din of preparation has, during . the recess, resounded within its walls. The decorations have been newly embellished—but the grand improvement has been made on the stage ; by a bold and ingenious piece of machinery, the tup of the proscenium can now be raised bodily up, so as to discover (when required) a height of above 40 feet, and the last row of the one shilling gallery can have a perfect view of the most extensive scene'' of spectacle. SURREY THEATTE. t l I , ii ,; •,• ii 1 IL ~> . 1 ! , i~ i t ~- i it„.l= Another proof of successful dramatic fertility trade its appearance here last night, under the title of The President ;or,The Peasant's Daughter; founded on a highly interesting domestic tale, and worked up to a degree of pathos, mingled v ith much of rational mirth, which excited the smiles of all, and the tears, of most, of a brilliant and numerous audience. The distresses of a peasant's daughter, seduced by the son . of an opulent Noble, form the leading feature of the draina ; and combined with the dignified rectitude of a State President, who refuses to compromise his judicial character to gain the woman he loves; and this character again relieved by others, who unite the pleasant style of farce with what nearly ap proaches to scenes of superior genteel comedy, con stitute a pleasing tout ensemble, which was uncom monly well acted throughout; and the additional credit gained by the Manager's Muse, was rendered still more honourable by the determined zeal which seemed to animate all his corps dramatique. The various Artists'were no less successful—the scenery, muiic, and dresses, being all beautiful and appro. priate. The Piece was re-announced with repeated and unanimous plaudits, many repetitions of which graced the succeeding Meladrame of Richard the Fira, which seems to gain strength by each night's production. THEODORE Hoot, a very successful dramatic wri ter, is the author of the very lively and interesting Piece, entitled Pigeons and Crows, produced at the Haymarket Theatre. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of kti:r are expecteu to honour the Haymarket The atre with their presence next Saturday. At the Haymarket Theatre,' on Tuesday everting, when Sancho, the Gorerror of Barataria, made this observation—" I have a mortal hatred to cutting throats, and I am a very great enemy to starving also," his Courtiers seemed surprised, but the English audience loudly testified their approbation of the sentiment. Monday last, Mrs. ROBINSON, took her Benefit, at,l the Tunbridge Wells Theatre, under the immediate patronage of Lady COLEVILE. The Marchioness ConNwALLts, Lady ByaoN, and a numerous assean blage of Fashionables, honoured the House with their presence. The entertainments consisted of Wild Oats, Ilabr an Hour in England, and The Sultan. Mrs. ROBINSON looked and acted delightfully the part of the fair Quakeress, and was equally success ful in that of Rozalana. Mr. YATES'S Rover evinced an astonishing versatility cf talent.—The House %as crowded to excess. When Richard Cour de Lion was first presented on the Stage, Mr. KEMisLE played the part of the King, i n w hi c h he sung. During one of the rehearsals of this Opera, Mr:Kamm.; anxious, no doubt to get to the end of his song, had fairly outstripped the exertions of the orchestra. " Bless my soul. Mr. Kamate," exclaimed SHAW, the leader, "how sadly you are murdering time !" " Well, Mr. Siinw," re. plied the Tragedian, " I am, at any rate, more met ciful than you, who are continually beating him!" The Ladies of Chigwell gave an elegant Fete on Saturday last, in the gipsey stile, in the centre of Ep ping, or Hainault Forest. The party, about forty ne number, assembled at the foot of Hog-bill, and took of a cold collation, during which a band of music, previously stationed on the spot, played a variety of airs. After the repast, dancing Commenced on the turf with the " Finder, vows danse" under the trees, decorated u kit garlands. Quadrilles succeeded the country dances, and the company did not separate until late in the evening. MISFORTUNE or BEING UGLY (from the Portuguese of M.

Oa the 13th ult. his Royal Highness reached Dal whinnie, where he was received by the Marquis of, HuarLay,,who advanced thus far to meet him. Oau Sabbath-day his Royal H i ghness and his Noble host attended Divine Worship in the parish church of Lag gen, and on Monday they went to Kinrara Lodge the delightful hunting-seat of the Marquis of Hut/Tuts. The weather has since proved admirable, and the time of the distinguished party has been pleasantly divided between the moors of Dadenoch-and the ele gant hospitalities of Kinrara. His Royal Highness is said to have often expressed himself in glowing terms of admiration, in the course of his journey through the endless diversity of sublime, pictu resque, and romantic scenery which enriches the route by which he approached the Highlands; but by nothing did he appear so much struck and delighted, as by a scene conjured by the imagination of his Noble host at Kinrara, and which almost realized the apparition of Roderick Dhit's mountain ambuscade. Prince LEOPOLD, conducted by his host, ascended Tor Alvie, where the Marchioness of HUNT LEY, and a small party of Highland Ladies and Gen tlemen waited to receive him. In the middle of this ceremonial, and amidst comparative stillness and so litude, the piper suddenly sounded the rallying note; " Wild as the scream •fthe curfew, From crag to crag tke signalffew. Instant, through copse and heath, arose Bonnets and spears and beaded bows; On right, on left, above, below, Sprung up at once the lurking Le; From shingles grey their lances start, The bracken bush sends forth the dart, The rushes and the willow wand Are bristling into axe and brand, And every tuft of broom gives life To plaided warriors arm'd for strife-- That whistle garrison'd the glen At once with full five hundred men !" In an instant the height was transformed into something like a bcleagured station, where the Mar quis and his guest stood pre. eminent, encircled by se veral hundreds of hardy. Highlanders, equipped in their native warlike garb—each pouring forth the wild greeting of the mountaineer," to this illustri.' ous stranger. If Scots folk scan the spirit of this young Prince aright, he must have been more truly gratified with this shew of Highland Chivalry, than if the Noble Marquis, had, in honour of the visit, co vered every moor in Badenoch with cloth of gold, and twined with variegated lamps every birch in Strathspey. Mr. 'WILTON, at Alcombe, in Somersetsbire, has at this time in his orchard, an apple-tree, which has already yielded a fine crop of fruit, and is again in full blossom, and many of the young apples set. The recent hot weather has been productive of flux, cholera morbus, fever, and a very gener;l dis order in the stomach and intestines, and even sudden death, all arising, apparently, primarily from drink ing cold water, buttermilk, &c. when the body was supernaturally heated. It has also produced what may, perhaps, be interesting to the Naturalist, an uncommonly small flea, which has made its appear ance in great numbers in many respectable houses, where cleanliness is scrupulously observed, and where none of the inferior animals are kept. Prevention of Me fatal Effects qf Drinking Colo Water in Warns Weathcr, or when Heated By Exercise, Avoid drinking whilst warm, or drink only a small quantity at once, and let it remain a short time in the mouth before swallowing it ; or wash the hands and face, and rince the mouth with cold water before drinking. If these precautions have been neglected,, and the disorder incident to drinking cold water has taken place, the best remedy is to administer sixty drops of liquid laudanum in spirits and water, or warm drink of any kind ; if this should not afford relief, the same quantity of laudanum may be given in 20 minutes afterwards. When laudanum cannot l be obtained, rum and water should be given.—Ffoon the Report of the Royal Society. . Last week, a fine boy, named Pawn, about 14 years Id age, residing near Perth, amusing himself with a 'double, pike fish-hook, unfortunately swallowed it. The barbs of the hook fastened so far down in the throat that no instrument could be applied to unfix them ; and he was sent off to the Edinburgh law mary, in the most excruciating state of torture. Friday last, a distressing accident occurred at the New-quay, Dumfries. Twelve men, who were em ployed in working a quarry, had made every pre paration for rending a part of the rock by gunpow der, when, unfortunately, one of their instruments coming in contact with the rock, struck fire, which, communicating with the train that had been newly laid, produced an explosion before the poor quarry men had time to retire. It appeared, however, that out of the twelve, only three had been hurt, who were immediately conveyed to the Infirmary. The wounds of two of these unfortunate men, we are sorry to learn, are considered dangerous; but the other has been but slightly injured. SINGULAR FoRGETFULNISS.--Dilring the past week, a Gentleman, having a large black portman teau with him. arrived at the Globe Inn, in Bridge water, which place he left on the ensuing d a y for Taunton, by the Bath coach. On his arrival at Taunton, upon claiming his luggage, the portman teau, which was placed on the coach when he took his place at Bridgewater, was produced ; all know . ledge of which the travelle r warm ly denied, vaunt; that the box produced did no t lilt- the slighte s t s r ..1 Imilarity to his own ; and upon being assured that there was no other in the coach, he instantly posted back to Bridgewater, taking with him the doubtful luggage. On arriving at the Globe Inn, the land lord and waiters were summoned, from whom he demanded, in accents not over mild, the production of his own portmanteau, which lie stated contained, many valuable matters.
