May, the officer, was sent for, who, at eleven o'clock this morning, carried him before the LORD MAYOR, by whom he was sent in safe custody to the Borotts-h to wait the result of the Coroner's Inquest, which met this forenoon at the Wellington Arms, Newington Causeway. A verdict of Wi!ful Murder was found against the prisoner, who was committed to take his trial at the next Assizes. The Rota! Ba/ont! Gazete of 2.t1 September has been received. It appears that on the Ist the Court of Admiralty gave a decision in the case of the Ame rican sloop Amelia. The Amelia, it seems, sailed in June last from New Orleans for St. Domingo, with orders to call at the pert of Nassau fir instructions. Soon after she left the Ilalin she sprang her mast,' and the wind would not permit her to return. She proceeded in her voyage, and entered the port of • Nassau for repairs. She was immediately seized by an Officer of the Customs, and prosecuted for an in fraction of the Navigation Laws. After a full hearing of parties, the Court restored both vessel and cargo, but decreed that, as there was probable cause of sei zure, each party should pay his own costs. We have received a single 21%.1?founilland 1?•.717! Gazette, of the 15th of September, 1818, front whichl we have taken the following :—Captain of the brig Adriana, from Bermuda, informs, that a heavy gale was experienced at that place the latterl end of last month, which did considerable damage' among the shipping and on the shore. The gale commenced at S.E. about seven o'clock on Saturday evening, the 30.11, and continued in that quarter till, two o'clock the following morning, when it mode rated for two hours ; the wind then veered round to the N.W. and again came on with increased violence, I and lasted till eleven. Set eral houses were unroofed, I and a number %%ere much injured. Trees were torn up by the roots, and many of the vessels drove ashore or sunk at their moorings ; among them are the fol lowing, viz.—Schooner Bear-All, with a cargo on board ; and an American schooner, loaded with corn, sunk; brigs Diamond and Liverpool, much damaged; ship Mary, mizen.mast blown away by the board; ship St. Andrew, with her mainmast gone ; brig Hannah, and schooner Frances Elizabeth, loaded ; brig Patience, bilged ; schooner Jane, and two Ame rican schooners anti a sloop, all on shore. THEAMICALS. DRURY LANE.-Mr. KEAN performed Othello, last night, in his usual style of excellence. Mr. flEm- Govan succeeded Mr. CLEARY in Ingo, and played the part well. Mrs. WEST'S Desdernqaa, was inte resting and judicious. The Rival Soldiers followed. MURDER, as Nipperkin, was irresistibly ludicrous. COVENT-GARDEN.—Miss O'NEILL, last night, per• formed the character of Juliet, with her accustomed success. The House was crowded at an early hour. The afterpiece was the Barber (if Seville, whiCh still continues an attractive performance. RICIIMOND.—Friday night, the Comedy of ~, o 7 t n But! was admirably performed at this Theatre. Mr. SYDNEY, in Peregrine, appeared to great advantage. EGAN'SBrulgruddery, and KLANERT'S TOM Sinfficion, were also endtled to much commendation; and Mes dames EGAN, CUNNINGHAM, and SYDNEY, in Mrs Bragruddery, Lady Caroline, and Mary, were de servedly honoured with loud applause. Miss STEPHENS is not no make her appearance at Covent-garden till after Christmas. Miss gosiartviLLE re-appears in London, after an absence of two seasons, as Bianca, in the play of Fa zio; in which character she has built, on the provin cial boards, a very high reputation. She originally brought out the Tragedy at Bath: which caused its production afterwards at Covent-garden Theatre: and from the opinions so generally entertained, the most flattering success is expected from her performance. The play, by the consent of the Managers, undergoes considerable alterations, agreeably to Miss Somm e:L.l.es mode of peribrming it: which, we under stand, adds considerable importance to this cele brated Tragedy. Miss KEav has entered into an engagement with Mr. TROTTER, the Manager of the Brighton Theatre, to perform there six nights, where sho made her debut yesterday evening, in The Country Girl, and Clara, in the afterpiece of Matrimony. The first representation of the ffercules Furens, and of the entertainment of the Critic, took place on Friday last, at Reading School; and the perform ances of the young Gentlemen were received by an elegant and crowded audience, with merited applause. MAT rums, it appears, in announcing his " At Hoare," at the Kilkenny Theatre, on Monday se'n night, forgot to put at the t o p o f his bills, By Per mission of his Worship the Mayor !—ln consequence of which, on the forenoon of the above day, while Mr. MATTHEWS was in the Library, on the Parade, a City Constable, rather a curious-looking rushes in and seizes the Comedian, at the same time exclaiming--" How dares you, Sir, put forth these here bills without the Mare's permission —his Worship is mad, and you must come along with me to his office, directly!" The report immediately spread that NIATTHEWS was arrested—he, however, soon re turned and intimated, that " the Mayor was very polite, and behaved like a gentleman, but that from the behaviour of his ruffian-looking deputy, he had thought he had been arrested for high-treason !" Mr. MATTHEWS immediately ordered a few more bills to be printed with theptt mission, and on hisWor - - ship receiving the customary nine Tickets (worth 54 shillings), the matter ended. Lord ERMCINE sent a pike, a few days ago, to his friend Mr. Courts, at Brighton, which was taken in a pond on his Lordships estate, at liohnbush, near llorsham, that weighed 27Ibs. • A Maximus, or Basking Shark, was taken a few days ago off Cremer, in Norfolk, by the crew of a herring-boat. It measured 12 leet in length, and the hea4 weighed '25 pounds. An Eagle of the Osprey kind was shot last week, between the Bassinthwaite and the Keswick Lakes, by a•Gentleman, who observed it soaring a great height above the river Dement, and then plunge with incredible velocity into the water after its prey. Mary Walton, a poor woman of Pittington; who has been blind from cataracts in her eyes for some years, has been restored to sight in both eyes, by an operation performed at the Infirmary of Durham. The man who su courageously ventured into the sea at Brighton, to save the machine which was drifted by the watets into the deep, and thus preserv ed the life of Miss BLADES, daughter of Mr. Br, tuns, of Ludgate-kill, has not only been rewarded with a . present of :C'2o from the young Lady ; but Mr. lILADES, her father, upon learning the particulars of the man's intrepidity, generously gave him 12'200, besides furnishing . apartments for him, and assuring hint of future protection. Tuesday se'imight, at Evelick, near Perth, the heave of Donald Scritngeour having taken fire in the vent, the pcor man got up to the top of the house with the view of pouring water down the chimney, when he unfortunately fell down, and pitching on his head, instantly expired. Tuesday whilst Reuben Bradshaw, a lime burner, at Shelton lime-kilns, was at work, the breast of the kiln suddenly fell, and he was instantly env loped amidst the burning lime. Trent this dreadful situa tion every possible means were taken to extricate him, and a young man of the name of Woodward, rushed into the fiery element, to whom the expiring sufferer said— ,, I am nut dead, llenry, pull me out; but this was totally impracticable, and was not ac complished till the deceased was, by additional aid, forcibly dragged forth a miserable spectacle. A shocking accident happened at Great Book ham, Surrey, on Tuesday last :--A young man, named George Hill, had on the preceding day pur chasud a horse, at Leatherhead Fair, and was upon his return home to Shimley Green, when the animal suddenly became unmanageable, and set off with his rider at full speed, but his wild career was soon shor tened by his knocking down, and falling over a poor old woman wLo chancel to be going along the road at the time, and fr".;m deafness was insensible of his approach. The horse was not materially injured by the fall, but the two unfortunate victims of his ungovernable spirit were found lying near each other, dreadfully mangled and bruised. Hill was taken up senseless, and died very shortly afterwards. The woman, who , ,e name is Ayres, and who is near 80 years of age, now lies in a most miserable condition, her face and at ms being literally cut in pieces ;—she is not expected to recover. An Inquest was held on the body of George .Hill, on Thursday. Vet dict— Accidental Death. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING ON TIIF.

The heavy rains vinch have fallen at intervals during the last month, with ti:e very Fme warm wear titer that immediately succeed& them, have greatly improved the turnip crops, and produced an abun dance of feed in the meadows, ustures, and old clo ver layers ; the latter ncvor turned out better, for the important and now more extensive operation of wheat setting or dibbling, which has been going on most rapidly. So favo-rable a Michaelmas time was never remembered lcr cv.:ry agricultural Operation. A singular instance cf the effects of the late fire season on vegetation is to be seen in the garden of Mr. MANSEL. a bricklayer, at Guildford. A goose- berry tree. the leaves of which had withered and fallen off, being much exposed to the sun, has lately put forth fresh buds, and is at present in leaf; with tine youag fruit, a second tine. We understand a raspberry bush in the same garden is nearly in the same state. There was taken upi last week, in Hoscoat garden, Borthwick w:tter, Itusburglishire, from the stalk of an uncut potame, planted there last spring, no fewer than 043 large potatoes, which weighed two stones thirteen pounds. 7 • 'l9. . 4 t 'A ifty t; it 1 2 3 4 • • 1• • , 2 er's Cie et I I I I j 1 2 1 dis id. 111 2 . r 1 2 for 2 by rOt lid 11• I td I ne 01, of at es. ,d, '1:0 ,i 0 ft vs: t I !t's :k- -trs hp ly ; by to ty, ive i "LS f at trt, ;i.e a 111- CC- -114 :a. or . of rn as re of me- ; • nd ly ith I a of re r nes I
