ANECDOTE OF SHERIDAN. PROM KELLY 9 RZIONISCINCES. Mr. Harris, the late proprietor of Covent-garden, who had a great regard for Sheridan, had at different imes frequent occasions to meet him on business, and made appointment after appointment with him, Ant one of which Sheridan ever krist At length, Mr. Harris. wearied out, begged his fliensi Mr. I'4i:her, of Bath, to see Mr. Sheridan, arid' ie . ., hill, that unless he kept the next appointment made for their meeting, all ac quaintance between diem must end for ever. Sheridan expressed great sorrow for what had been, in fact, inevitable, and positively fixed one o'clock the next day to call •Ji•011 Mr. Harris at the theatre. At about three he literally made his appearance in Hart street, where he met Mr. Tregent, the celebrated French watchmaker, who was extremely theatrical, ant had been the intimate of Garrick. Sheridan told him that he was on his way to call upon Harris. " I have just left him," cid Treg ent, "in a violent passion, having waited for you since one o'clocr.." " What have you been doing at the theatre?" said Sheridan. " Why," replied Tregent," Harris is going to make Bate Dudley a present of a gold watch, and I have taken him half a dozen that be may choose one for that purpose." " Indeed," said Sheridan. They wished each other good day, and parted. Mr. Sheridan proceeded to Ma. Harris s room, and when he ad dressed him, it was pretty evident that his want of punctuality had produce d the etftct which Mr. Tregent described. " Well, Sir," said Mr. Harris, " I have waited at least two hours for you again ; I had almost riven you up, and if—" " Stop, my dear Harris," said Sheridan, interrupting him; " I assure you these things occur more from my misfortunes than my fault ; I declare I thought it was but one o'clock, for it so happens that I have no watch, and to tell you the truth, am too poor to buy one; but when the day comes that I can, you will see I shall be as punctual as any other man," " Well, then,' said Cie unsuspecting Harris, "if that be all, you shall not long want a watch, for here (opening his drawer) are half a dozen of Tregent's best—choose any one you like, and do nie the favour of accepting it." Sheridan affected the greatest surprise at the appearance of the watches; bat did as he was bid, and selected certainly not the worst for the cudcau. OLD BAILEY, NOVEMBER 3.

The following were then sentenced to be imprisoned: In Newgate for one year—Thomas Munns. In the House of Correction, for one year—Sarah Holmes. In the Hou s e of Correction, and all to be kept to bard labour, for six months, 8; four months, 1 ; three months, 25, Lady Barrymore among the number; two months, 11 ; six weeks, 5 ; one month,ls. In Newgate, for two months. 1 ; 14 days, 2 ; 10 days, 1 ; one week, 2 ; to be whipped 5; one fined a shilling and discharged. Joseph Rowley, who wa., committed for contempt of Court in having grossly prevaricated on his oath, on the trial of Hughes and others early yesterday morning, was ordered to be brought up. The RECORDER then told him that he had been com mitted tor wilful and corrupt perjury, by which he had not only disgraced himself, but was unworthy of being any more credited. Though he would discharge him at present, he was still liable to be prosecuted next Sessions, by the party against whom be committed the offence. He warned him against ever daring to 'present himself as a witness again. Rowley here said that he had been only mistaken. The RECORDIIL told him that he was treading on dangerous ground, and ordered him to be discharged ; adding, that he had still the power to detain him. He was then discharged. The Sessions then adjourned to the 15th of December. ADELPHI THEATRE.— The performances at this Theatre still attract considerable audiences. A very clever piete of machinery has been contrived in the new melo-drama of The Pilot. There is a storm scene of a new character, extremely ingenious and effective. The waxer, which is shewn in a state of violent agitation, extends from the back of the house immediately down to the trot lamps ; and npon this sea, which fills the full breadth as well as depth of the stage, a large boat, capable of holding ten or a dozen men, is seen ma nceuvring in the tempest, with Mr. TERRY, Mr. YATES, MG COOKE, and four or 'five other persons actually on board. •The wleula contest of this vessel with the storm, the furling and setting of the different sails, and the cries and exertions of :hie crew, all arc given with peculiar vet 'semblance ard spirit;—tire scene, in fact, last; tea minutes, duting which tone not a word of dialogue is sr.lceii, and yet it does not become tire some. Bes:des this novelty in the Pilot, there ale some laughalile burlescre incidents thrown into the Quadrupeds, part ctilatly the imitation of the Drury lane Cataract, by purnpng water down a staircase, and a combat letween two tailors, o',e armed with a sleeve-board and the other with a bladder. The inter lude of The Married Bachelor, too, in which WRENCH pet forms the Valet, is sufficiently well acted fur any Theatre: Taken altogether, the entertainments at this Theatre are extremely well arrangeJ and amusing, and far above the recent standard of the performances in genera', at what are called ;he large Houses. Saturday, an Inquest wasfield at the City of London, City-road, on the body of Mr. William Venvill, of the New-road," near Tottenham Court-toad, coachmaker, wheat it ap, eat'ed in evidence, that the deceased, with a fiieud of the nafse of Ci,!ck, of Ashton, near aimpton, Gloucestershire, lam •r, left his home to try a horse in his four-wheel chaise ; the animal went very quiet un til he arrived, at... the Angel, at Islington ; he then be came restive, began kick-lig, and then ran off .at full speed. Mr. Clack was thrown out, and his knee much injured ; Mr. Venvill sprang out of the chaise, and fell on his face, still retaining hold of the reins, and he was dragged several yards, by which his leg was broke, and the back of his head much fractured ; he lived about an hour after the accident, but was quite insensi ble after hearing the evidence, and taking a view of the body, the Jury returned a • verdict, of Accidental Death, and fixed a deodand of 10s. upon the horse. THE GUARDIAN SOCIETY. This Society, which has for its objiq the preservation of the public morals, by providing a temporary asylum, with suitable employment for females who have de viated from the paths of virtue, and who have either been removed by the operations of the laws boos the public streets, or have been aw tkened by con.ci nce to a sen'e of their guilt and danger, held their Anniversar y Meeting yesterday, at the Old London 'Cavern, Bishops. gate-street, Mr. Illeaden kindly accommodating the Sockty with the rooms gratis. At two o'clock the Loan MAYOR took the Chair, and addressed the Meeting on the great advantages which an Institution like this was calculated to confer upon society at large. The Society, it appeared, was insti• tuted thirteen years ago, since when it had provided an asylum, and received within its walls, 942 wretched females, of ss horn 536 have been restored to their friends; or providel for, and 54 are now under the Society's care. During the whole period of its existence, the annual subscriptions have never amounted to 500'. while the unavoidable expenses had exceeded 1,00:1. The deficie;:cy had been hitherto supplied by the col ' lec , ions after ses mons, by legacies, donations, and from ether casual and rm. xpected sources. These supplies have receraly almost entirely failed, so that the institu tion is now more than 4001. in debt, without any im mediate prospect of payment: oil ss,. the:erre, some efficient aid can be obtained, its very existence must be endangered, and the whole undertaking artist be milli- 1 1 quished. Under these circumstances the Commit tee were reluctantly compelled to resolve, that they would reduce the number of inmates in their asylum, until they should not exceed thirty, and that in future the establishment be limited to that number, until the annual income of the Society should admit of an increase. The Rev. Mr. WEBSTER, Secretary, then read the Committee's Report ; after which, he, and several other respectable Clergymen and Gentlemen, addressed the Meeting, and feelingly appealed, on behalf of the cha rity, to the humanity of the public at large. Several Resolutions of the usual kind were passed unanimously; and a list of subscribers and donations read, which was calculated to encourage the hope that so benevolent and merciful an Institution will not be allowed to fall to the ground, in the midst of the most wealthy and most charitable city in the world. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the Meeting ad journed. THE GALE. Wednesday afternoon, the wind, which had blown fresh from the South-west of the metropolis, gradually veered, and in the evening became rather stormy, until midnight, when the gale became due West, and blew a most perfect hurricane during the remainder of the night, and part of yesterday, accompanied at the com mencement by slight showers, and during its continu ance had scarcely veered two points to the South•west. The effects of this stiff gale around the suburbs of Lon don have been severely felt, in the blowing down of trees, walls, fences, chimnies, &c. and some of the guards of the coaches that arrived yesterday morning say, they have not met w th such a boisterous night for some years. In the vicinity of Paddington, and for some miles in that neighbourhood, including Kilburn, Bayswater, Ac ton, Ealing, Harrow, the suburbs of the Regent's Park, Sec. and many places around that quarter, the effects of the gale, it is ascertaire !, have more resembled a whirlwind than the wind generally observed at this 'season. The plantations have in some of the villages been torn up and swept wholly away, and were lifted into the air with as much violence as the smallest atom. The Regent's Park shrubberies have been much torn and damaged, and a great number of the new buildings in that quarter have been unroofed, and even th- gable ends of some blown d rwn : several stacks of chimnies about Ki burn have been blown down. The stacks o . f hay and straw to the number of' from forty to fifty, in [the neighbourhood of Acton and Ealing, have been 'scattered before the wind: indeed, to describe the in jury done to pi irate property by the sweeping effects of the Westerly gale, would occupy a very considerable I portion of our Paper ; but from the accounts received, such has been the damage in the •icinity of London, that a very great extent of time, trouble, and expense, must be occupied to repair it. The gale occupied, as will be found, several hours, during its visitation of the metropolis, and all that time blew with close and un remitting violence, and did not subside until yesterday afternoon, when it changed to W.S.W. and then slew very strong. In Holborn two stacks of chimnies were blown into the street about the heads of the passing throng, but injured no person materially. A variety of casualties, too numerous to mention, took place about town during the day. At eight o'clock yesterday morning, part of an addi tional building, erecting at Mr. Ridley's floor-cloc. manufactory, Islingtrin, was thrown down. which the workmen bad, providentialy, left a few minntes before, to go to their breakfast; and the building being at a distant part of the premises, and quite detached from any other, no further injor y was suAained, or any impe diment occasioned to the busine,s of the factory. THANES TUNNEL—The large and ingenious iron shield, which is destine) to ptoted at once the work. men, and the tunnel itself, fiom almost a possibility of danger during the operation, is now at the bottom of the great shaft, and fixed, and ready to proceed hod zuwaily. The workmen are cutting away the brick work, preparatory to their striking out horizontally under the Thames. This, from the solidity of the work, and the hardness of the cement, is a laborious wot k, and necessarily of slow progress. It is hoped, that in eighteen months from the getting through the wall, the tunnel will be carried to and under the further shore of the rivers and in the opinion of persons most competent to form a correct judgment, the first exrectation of ultimate aid complete success, is in ceased by all the circumstances which have hitherto attended this imp-irtant undertaking. The Laura Ann, from Virginia to Liverpool, WAS abandoned at sea 15th ult. in a sinking state; the Catherine, from Maranbam to Liverpool, has put back with six feet water in her hold ; the Three Brothers, Smarr, from Boston to Granada, was lost at the Bahamas sods of September; the Gower, Tarr, front Malaga to London, was totally lost near Tariffa, on the 4th ult. crew saved ; the Ma ria Auguste, Tam, from Stettin to London, was driven on shore on Ameland, on the 21st ult. and it was feared would be wrecked ; the Friendship, Lammers, from Cuba to Havre, was wrecked at the Bahamas 10th September, and part cf the cargo saved; the John Oldin, Pu.ssuar, from Genoa to Alvarado. was totally lost on ileneage 28th August; the Abigail, HOLMIS, from St. John's, New Brunswick, to Jamaica, was lost in Turk's Island, 7th of September, part of the cargo saved; the George, from St. John's, New Brunswick, has capsized at sea; the Flora, Emu from New York to Nevr Brunswick, was driven on shore 9th Sep tember, at Campo Bello, and it was feared would be lost. Monday, u Elizabeth Harrington, a char-woman, was washing, at Earl's-court Terrace, Kensington, she suddenly fell back, and In her fall, drew tbe tab go her, and instantly expired. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' count Charles Steward, jun• late of the Royal Gloucester Riding and ll.iring Academy, Blackfriar-road, was opposed by Mr. COOKE, on behalf of Mr. hod; andse veral other creditors. The Learned Gentle Mon raised several objections again,t the insolvent's apptictrion, arid among - others, that he had, by fraud; obtained a Rule absolute instead of a Rule Nisi, in order tO be heard on his P-Aiti.in in that Court. Since the Rule had been so tamed, he had got a surgeon to sign a certificate of ill health, and in con,egitente had been indulged with - the Rules of the King's Bench, the boundaries of which, it would ap pear, he was not nice about °vet-stepping ; (or it would be proved that he had gone into the Surrey Theatre; Johnson's and Honeyman's C iffee-hou•es, Icc. ss hick was in direct violation of the 1 . 2.tb section ot .sth Geo. IV. which Act had since been amended in this p uticular. The Learned Counsel proceeded to state, that he wa, provided with evidence to prove the breath of ptivi-' lege :dative to the Rules, ak a person wa, einpl iyed to wa ch his movements, in or,ter that the plaintiff might 51 the M ash at the King's Bench ; but as the in solvent ssac not charged in execution, this object could not be obtained. .1 witne,s was called to prove that the ins lvent had broke the Rules, which he swore to, but he cluld not tix upon the night when he made the observation. Mr. Cononis , ioner LAW said, that as the witness had' not pr.,ved the eight on which he saw the insolvent go would into the Theatre, it be a dangerous thing to dis miss the Petition upon such slender evidence. Mr. Cooze said, that he had a yet stronger case to lay before the Court, viz.—that of the insolvent having obtained his order for hearing by means of fraudulent representations,for the af f idavit on which it was obtained, negatived that he (insolvent) had made away with any property &nee his imprisonment ; whereas he had purchased, as he (Mr. Cooke) should be able to prove, a gold necklace, and other articles, of Mr. Izod, one ot the opposing creditors, which -be hail pledged, and afterwards sold the duplicates. The Courts` observed, that his objection was not te nable, because-that transaction had no reference to the insolvent's estate at the time he filed his petition. Mr. CooKE then proceeded to a final and more stb stantial objection, viz,—that of the insolvent having put the plaintiff to unnecessary expense, by means of setting up a vexatious defence to an action, and afterwards bringing a Writ of Eiror, notwithstanding the action was bri.ught on a bill of exchange, hearing the insol vent's name, which precluded all pretensions to an aVa;l - defence. Charles Steward, sen. the insolvent's father, s•avd, that his son had been his servant, only on wages of a guinea and a half per week, beyond allowances for whips and spurs—(Laughter). ‘Vituess always kept a tight rein on his son—(Confinned Laughter). On one occasion he let his son have the academy at 15/. a week, but on discovering his son's insolvency, of which he was previously unapprised, he again took the reins ofgovern 'Went in his own hands. Mr. HEATH, tor the insolvent, submitted that his Learned Friend (Mr. Cooke) had failed in every in stance where he had raised an objection, but he (Mr. H.) would confine his observations to the Writ of Errol.— A Noble Lord in the House of Peers had eulogized them, inasmuch as they were sometimes necessary to the defendant, in order that he might have time to accom plish that which he could not do in the first instance. Mr. Commissioner LAW agreed with llr. Ileath in his observa tions, except as regarded the Writ of Error, the bringing of which was an offence against the Act of Parliament. The insolvent was then adjudged to be confined within the walls of the prison for three months from the date of his petition, and that be be deprived of the Voles and day Rules. The Court was excessively cruwded during the investigation, which lasted several hours. A letter from Hydra of the 14th •September, states that the Commander of the French Naval division in the Levant, had landed tw•o hundred men at Syra, and seized and can ied off some of the authorities there, on the pretext of their not pitying prol.er attention to the French Consul there. _ _ _ to ►. made LUNAR lIAINIS )w.—This rate and beautiful pheno menon was seen at Glasgow to great advantage, for a short time, on Sunday evening, about eight o'clock.

These phenomena are only seen during calm foggy weather, or in a tempestuous atmosphere. I': the Court of Requests, a grocer summoned Mr. Styles, a chemist, in Regent -street, for the payment of eight shillings, for goods had by a woman representing herself as being in Mr. Styles's service, whit!' he re fused to pay, on the ground that the woman had left his service some time past, and consequently the goods were not h.td for hint. The Court, however, with the exception of one member, derided in favour of the grocer, on the principle—that a person sending a ser vant to a shop for goods, from time to time, and pay ing one bill, is bound, on that servant's leaving him, to give notice to all his trastesmen not to let her have mote goods on his account. If he does not do•this, he is liable for any accounts she may run up in Iris name, at shops she had been accustomed to fetch goods from for his use, while she was in his service. The Papal Bull is an edict written upon parchment, and takes its name from the Bottle or seal, originilly of gold or silver bullion, but now frequently of lead or wax, appended to it, when dispatched from the Court of his Holiness at Rome. This seal bears the impression, the right of the head of St. Peter, on the left that of St. Paul ; on the reverse is inscribed the name of the reign- - ing Pope, and the year of his Pontificate.
