.COVEiIT-GARDEN THEATRE. Th e Operetta of Maid Stiiiisas and the Faroe of Tfoelllaelters,' were the entertainments at this Theatre list evening. Mr. Miami has performed almost every night since the commencement of the season, and in characters as veiled as they are' difficult—Romeo, Dung Mead, Benedict, Handel, Charles the Second, and Friar Michael—which sufficiently evinces the great skill which this Gen tleman has acquired in his profession. The Public have repeatedly testified their admiration of eath of these popular characters; and his acting last night swab eqOally successful. Miss TRW; it would seem, to the regret of the musical world, continues indisposed, as Miss RA3OEl[ll6l.2l' takes some of her most • favourite characters. The only other difference in the cast of the Piece brought Mr. Coons into the part of the gallant outlaw, formerly played by _tabor'. The House was welt filled. TALMA.—The Universal Gazette of Lyons says, that the acting of TAMA attracts to the Great Theatre there a truly es triordinary crowd of spectators. According to the returns made to the Authorities, more than 10,000 strangers had arrived in Lyons, to enjoy the display of the talents of this great Actor. At his last performance, the saloon was filled four hours before the rising of the curtain, and the receipts exceeded 7,000 franca Eturrox is effecting lnuch for the comfc,rt of the visitors to Drury-lane Theatre. In addition to the entire removal of various nuisances in Vinegar-yard, this indestrioos Manager has projected considerable alterations and improvements in the front entrance, by which the access to the Theatre will be made far more comfortable. Green-room report speaks favourably of the talents of a young Lady transplanted from Norwich to the Theatre. Royal Covent Garden. The young Lady's first effort will be in Tragedy. Mr. ABBOT has left town for Dublin, to manage the Theatre in that City, and has engaged Madame Venal' to perform sixteen nights. She is to be succeeded by Alin Foam, late of Drury-lane Theatre. TA Lhl it. the celebrated French Tragedian, has been engaged at Covent-Girden Theatre for seventeen nights, and not twelve, as has been stated. Dot now anti his Equestrian Troop are engaged to 'perform in a new Spectacle, in Drury-lane Theatre, which will be a powerful attraction opposed to the rival house. Mrs. HENRI FAUNTLEROY is daughter of the late Captain JullN YoUNG, of the Royal Navy, but not a sister of Miss FRANCES and Miss ELIZAUTH Yousc, who gave evidence at the last examination at Marlborough-street. The Obeisant shooters, on the Ist of October, re turned from the field of sport much better satisfied with their lists of killed and wounded than on the Ist of September, when par tridges were the objects of their pursuit. 1 / 16 InoN.—The great scarcity of pig iron, and the estraorelinary advance in price, is almost without precedent. It is stated that the advance on this article, within the last twelve toonths, has been full fifty per cent. This will greatly affect the 4-i:isomers of iron in general _ . . Wednesday, a young boy, named Patrick Walker, apprentice to a chimney-sweeper, was unfortunately suffocated when sweeping a chimney in Mr. Whaley's house, Stephen's-green, Dublin Monday se'nnight, James Milne, •ho was convicted of stouthriel at last Perth Circuit, and sentenced to be executed at Forfar on the 50th October, was brought there from Perth. The unhappy man still persists in hii plea of innocence; and, as a peti tion is preparing in his favour by a number of respectable indivi du.ils in that quarter, he.seems to entertain strong hopes of a COM znoution at his sentence. INSPECTION OF TIIE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.—This being the day appointed for the inspection of this place of confinement, the Visiting Magistrates, accompanied by several Gentlemen, repaired to the Prison, where they were received by Mr.V/CIOERY, the Governor. The ii, .udicious arrangements introduced, met the most warm alpproialtion of every one, as did the uniform health and cleanliness of the persons confined. A Report eras drawn np accordingly. Wednesday. a fishing-boat, called the Bull, struck on the bar, at Arklow, and of six persons on board, but one wa.; saved, owing to his being able to swim ashore Fourteen of the largest English dray-horses have lately been put chased in England, and sent to Copen hagen. They are of very great height and size. It is proposed to introduce their breed into Denmark. The appearance of November weather full a month before its time, has already had a sombre effect upon roost of the watering-places, which are fast losing their visitors, many of whom, like the butter fly, can only exist in sunshine. The Duslin Freeman's Journal of Monday last, eon taias an account of the proceedings at a Meeting of Gentlemen called " the Catholic Finance Committee." From these it appears, that 1871. have been collected since the 25th ult. under the name of' . ' Catholic Rent." It appears, also, that the It ish Catholic Association have resolved to act in conjunction with the Catholic Associa tion of Manchester, if they can do so without violating the Law, as laid down by the Act against Corres ponding Societies. The Spitalfields trade has never been in a more pro sperous state than it is at present; and that so far from the workmen having, as has been stated, " to deplore the loss of their former privileges," by the repeal of the Act which regulated their wages, it has been a great benefit to them, as they are actually paid now fifteen per cern. more for some articles than the law allowed ; and there is not a single loom idle for want of employ. ROBBERY IN HYDE PARK.—Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, a most impudent robbery was committed near the statue of Achilles, in Hyde Park. A Gentle man named Mackenzie, residing in Portland-street, Oxford-street, was passing through to Knightsbridge, when a fellow came up to him and requested to know if his name was Orchard? Mr. Mackenzie replied in the negative, upon which the other rejoined, " You are a damned liar, fist your name is Orchard," and so say ing, gave a whistle. In a moment he was joined by two others, who began to strike Mr. Mackenzie with their fists. Mr. Mackenzie ran away, but when he reached his friend's house at Knightsbridge, he found he had been robbed of his watch and silver snuff-box, by the assailants. BARCELONA, SEPT. 20.—We learn from Matron, in the island of Majorca, that horrible ravages had been occasioned by a syphon on the 31st August, and parti cularly in Santa-Eularia, Santa-Eularcita, San Serani, and the parts adjacent; the roofs of the houses were blown off, walls broken down, and the vines, with a number of other trees, were torn up by the roots. In short, it is impossible at present to-calculate on the da mage which has been occasioned by the violence of the typhon in its progress from south to north. But the disaster did not end here; a heavy rain fell dutirg the uight of the Sd and 4th of September, and in such abundance that several houses and magazines in the city were completely inundated. At day-break, the ruins thus occasioned presented a frightful spectacle; the gardens in the plain of St. Julian were completely under water, and their produce was entirely destroyed. l This horrible tempest was accompanied by violent wind, claps of thunder, flashes of lightning, and hailstones of an enormous size. At the time of the departure of the' courier, no intelligence, had been received from the in terior of the island ; the floods had rendered the roads impaisable, and it is not doubted that great losses had been sustained on the plain of Favorich. This storm took the same direction as the tempest of the • 31st of August, from South to north. ,••••V•1 COMMERCE OF IRELAND.

A large farm-house, at Hamworthy, near Poole, is about being converted into a convent. The Princess of TAaewrE was always in mourning for some lovereign, Prince or Princess. One day Madame de SZVIGNE happening to meet her in colours, made her a low curtsey, and- said—" Madame, je me r.lentit de la tante de ; Europe." 2NDra. . . The following is a copy of the ProclamitiOn issued by the British Authorities on enteinfg the A.i . ant territories: " Inhabitants of Assam !—lt is well known to you, that some years ago the Burmese invaded yoUr territory, and that they have since dethroned the Rajah, plundered the country, slaughtered Brahmins, and women, and cows, defiled your temples, and committed the most barbarous outrages of every kind ; so that vast numbers of your' countrymen have been forced to seek refuge in our do minions, 'where they have never ceased to implore our assistance. Notwithstanding our regret at witnetsing the miseries to which they were subjected, as we were on friendly terms with the King of Ava, we could not inter fere. But now the Officers of his Burmese Majesty have invaded our independent territory of Cachar, and there and elsewhere have . committed such outrage, and held a language so arrogant and hostile, that we are at length at war. The wished for opportunity of rcliev ing yourselves from the hands of your oppressors has . now arrived. Our victorious army has crossed the boundary, and ere long we will drive the barbarians beyond the Barmahkoond, nor cease until we restore peace and security to your distracted country. Come forward, then, without fear for the present or thefuture. Supply our . troops with provisions, for which ready money will be paid, and fail not when you have an op portunity to wreak your vengeance on the remnant of those who have cau.ed you so many calamities. We are not led into your country by the thirst of conquest, but are forced, in otfr defence, to deprive our enemy of the means of annoying us. You may, therefore, rest assured, that we will never consent to depart until we exclude our foe from Assam, and re-establish in that country a Government adapted to your wants, and cal culated to promote the happiness of all parties." DOVER, OCTOBER s.—This morning, two privates of the 17th Lancers, of the names of Briscoe and Heider- son, who had deserted from Deal Barracks, were ap prehended at the Cross Keys ale-house here, on a capital charge of felony, in having-entered the barrack-room of Captain Scott, an Officer of the 17th, and stolen various articles of plate, wearing apparel, and a pair of pistols. They had sold part of the property in this town, parti cularly the pistols, which were said to be worth 201. for 11. At the time of their apprehension, they were apparelled in the clothes of Captain Scott, and had so disfigured themselves, by cutting off their whiskers and mustachios, that the Serjeant who was sent after them was a (planer of an hour in their company before he recognized them. One of them is said to have been a commissioned officer, and is highly respectably con nected. They were both sent to Deal jail. Pope LEO XII. on the 25th of July last visited all the prisons ; on his return to his palace a grenadier left the ranks and presented to the Holy Father his munition loaf, at the same time complaining of the badness of it. Far from being angered at this boldness, the POPS, in answer to the man, said You shall have justice ren dered to you." An inquiry was instituted, when it was proved that the Purveyor, false to his engagements, had dealt out to the soldiers nothing bet bread of the very worst kind. The report of this transaction was legally made tcuthe Sovetitton PonTIFF, who sentenced the Purveyor to an immediate fine of fourteen hundred and Anety Roman crowns, which were instantly paid down and distributed to the soldiers who had suffered by the knavery of the Contractor. The family of Mr. J., the keeper of a fashionable' hotel at the west end of the town, has lately been thrown into great distress by the unprincipled conduct of a sedu• I cer. A Mr. George o—, the son of an opulent draper in the neighbourhood of Bond -street, was admitted into the family of Mr. J— as the suitor of his daughter. The two families had been long is habits of friendly in timacy, and it was understood that Mr. 0— only waited the death of a near relative, aged 83, to make the young Lady his wife. The attentions of Mr.o were unremittingly continued for nearly two years,when about three months since, Miss J— became extremely indisposed, and in a very desponding state; and con fessed to her female attendant that Mr. o—, under the mask of introducing her to a relative, had one even ing, while walking, prevailed on her to accompany him to see an aunt in the vicinity of Soho-square, where he accomplished the foul purpose which he had been so long contemplating; and that her utter ruin was in evitable with her family and the world. The unfortu nate young Lady was conveyed to the country, where about a month since she lay in. On being appealed to by her father, the infamous seducer refused to fulfil his promise, and the daughter is so 'deeply affested by her situation, that little hope is enteratined of her recovery. Mr. Crofts, the landlord of the King's Head tavern, at Margate, has been robbed of the considerable sum of 1,6001. in the following extraordinary manner :—lt ap pears that he some time since made a purchase of houses on which he had paid an instalment, and was to com plete the payment of the purchase-money on last Mon day. For this purpose he has been collecting his re sources, and being a person of an extremely cautious disposition, was unwilling to trust his cath in any ban ker's hands, but made a cupboard, which was in a small closet adjoining his bed-room, the depository of it.— There, as money came in, it was placed, until the re quired amount was completed. On Friday last the sum was made up, and Mr. Crofts and his wife counted on that day, principally in sovereigns, the sum of 1,6001. The cupboard was fastened, and the closet door locked, end was not opened until Monday morning, when Mr. Crofts went to take out his money, but found, with feelings which can be well imagined, that the cupboard was broken open, and every shilling of his hard earn ings gone. The only one to whom any suspicion is directed at present, is a person who lived at the King's Head for the last month, who is stated to have been very free and familiar in his manners, and inquisitive unto the concerns of the house. This person left the King's Head in rather an abrupt manner on Saturday, and proceeded to Daver by the Magnet coach. He had previously told another lodger in the house that he [had a French passport, though he mentioned a different Iroute to the landlord. On Saturday night, a man an sweting his description hired a boat at Dover to Calais, and represented himself as a King's Messenger to the boatmen. He was seen at Calais on Sunday morning. An officer has been sent in pursuit of him. ' There is now at Exmouth, composed .entirely of shells, a model of the Right Honourable Lord Rowes new church, of the following dimensions : three feet ten inches in length, two feet width, two feet two ditto centre aisle, four feet six height tower ; the pinnacles and other ornaments of the Church are in equal pro portion; it has been seen by Lord and Lady Itowz and company. at Ilicton, and greatly admired for its elegance and ingenuity of woi kmanship. • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. . . . HUNTING. .• • Wednesday the Farnborough houthii, after a sharp burst with it tire, roused an out-lying deer, which offered one of the bes!'nlis over a strong Country this crack-pack ever had. The buck, after going off in a most gallarit style, took a circuit of three miles, when finding himself hard pressed, he made for the Park at Hound-street, where, front the foil of the other deer, the hounds were for a time at fault; but by the skill of the huntsman,-Mr. Richard Bridge., they were soon again laid on the right scent; and after a run of three hours tei+it scarcely a Check, he was run in admirable style into the parlih of Chet Wood. During the chase most of the sports men were throsin our, and the honour of the day war left to the huntsman and four couple and a half of his hounds. Mr. Bridge took a most tremendous leap during the tun; over a park-wall, and neither whipper-in nor horseman dared to follow. In addition to Mt. Ilorlocle-s foit-hounds, it is understood this pack will hunt, within the same distance of Bath, the winter season. NEWMAItKCT FIRST OCTOBER MEETING, 1824. WEDNESIIAT, 007011111111 6.
