THEATRES. EKGLISD OPERA HOVSE.—After the seventh suc cessful representation of the Musical Drama of the Brown Man, the very comical production of the Tailors, or a Tragedy for Warn: Weather, was revived with alterations. The part of Abrahamides, which was originally performed by OXBERRY, was sustained with admirable effect by Ilsr.va. His imitations were most excellent and unclmmerly effective. SURREY TnEATRE.—The fascinating Romance of Richard Cceur de Lion, which has for so many years been one of the principal attractions of every Theatre lon the Continent, particularly at Paris, has been pro duced at the Surrey in a style of unequalled excel lence, splendour, and execution, in all its depart ments—the chorusses, in particular, are performed in the most effective manner. Miss COPELAND'S Ma tilda reminds us of a Lady she cannot copy, as she never saw her—we mean the lamented Mrs. JORDAN. Every other character is proportionably well sus tained, and the magnificent and picturesque scenery is the ne plus ultra even of the Surrey. The revival of the Vicar of Wakefield has been attended with all the success of a new Piece ; and, we understand, we are to expect a treat next week, equal, if not surpass ing the famous Heart of Mid Lothian. It is not true that Mr. ARNOLD and Miss KELLY have purchased the Olympic Theatre. There is no truth in the report of Mrs. H. JOHN- S roN having entered into an ervagement with Mr. Et Llsros, for Drury Lan* Theatre. Mr. PHILLIPS, late of Drury-Lane Theatre and the English Opera House, has been engaged by the Pro prietors of Covent• Garden Theatre. Mr. KEMBLE is at present at the waters of Bagneres, in the Pyrennees. He will soon return to Toulouse, where he has resided during the last year. He was present at all the recent performances of TALMA and Mademoiselle GEORGE. Est ERY, of Covent-Garden Theatre, who is now per forming at Liverpool, so highly pleased the audience, in the character of Fixture, in the Farce of A Race land for an Oliver, that not content with loudly ap plauding the Actor, they insisted on one of the scenes being repeated, before they would suffer the Piece to picceed Shugborough, the seat of Lord Atzsov, will shortly be a scene of great festivity, in honour of the nuptials of the Earl and Ccuntess of ROSEBEItitY. COWES, AUGUST 25. HORSELYDOIVN REGATTA. A Boat and other Prizes, given by the inhabitants of St. John, and the second Prize, (ot five guineas,) given by CHARLES CALVERT, Esq. M.P. was rowed for on Tuesday last by six watermen from the diffe rent Stairs in the Parish of St. John, Horselydown. The winners of the three first heats were Charles Speed, of New Stairs Purple. Charles Dean, of Old Stairs Green. Henry Lewis, of Old Stairs Red. These three started, about seven o'clock, to contend for the Grand Prize of the Boat, and the Second Prize of five guineas; but the interest of the contest was entirely lost, owing to Speed and Lewis fouling their boats, thereby allowing Charles Dean to win the Boat easily, and rendering it necessary to defer the five guineas Prize until some future opportunity. It was quite dark ere the Regatta terminated. Wednesday the Festival of St. Louis was celebrated by all the French in this Metropolis. At 1 / o'clock High 14 , lass was-performed at the French Chapel, in King-street, Portman-square, which was attended by several of the French and English Nobility, the Rus sian and Prussian Ambassadors, &c. &c. The following account of a most extraordinary phenomenon of nature may be depended on for its authenticity :—A most singular man is probably still alive; he was living, to the writer's knowledge, six years ago. In the village of Ditcheat, four miles from bhepton Mallet, Somersetshire, in the year 1765, a woman of the name of Kingston, was deli vered of a stout boy, without arms or shoulders. He possesses, without the usual appendages of arms, all the strength, power, and dexterity of the ablest and most regular made men, and exercises every function of life. He feeds, dresses, and undresses himself, combs his own hair, shaves his beard with the razor in his toes, cleans his shoes, lights his fire, writes out his own bills and accounts, and does almost every other domestic business. Being a farmer by occupa tion, he performs the usual business of the field, fod tiers his cattle, makes his ricks, cuts his hay, catches his horse, and saddles and bridles him with his feet and toes. He can lift ten pecks of beans with his teeth ; with his feet he throws a large sledge ham mer farther than any other man can with his arms, and he has fought a stout battle, and come off victo rious! These facts are notorious in most parts of Somersetshire. TO THE EDITOR OF ME STAR. This morning, at six o'clock A.

It is with regret that we communicate to our Readers the death of that distinguished philosopher, JAMES WATT, Esq. on Wednesday, the 25th instant, in the 81th year of his age. He was alike eminent in literature and science, but was most distinguished by his invaluable discoveries on the improvement of the steam•engine, which he rendered applicable to every purpose of art and manufacture. Friday last, a poor woman, named Bolton, em ployed at harvesting at Farleigh, Surrey, and who slept amongst the corn in the field, with her child, a boy only seven months old, lighted a fire to prepare her breakfast close to the spot where she slept. After breakfas she went to get some water at a remote part Of the field, leaving the child sleeping in the corn, and, as she thought, laving the fire out. In her ab sence the stubble, by some means, caught fire, and communicated with the corn where the child was asleep, who, before assistance arrived, was completely burned to a cinder. It appeared upon the Inquest that, in the absence of the mother, a stranger came by, and finding the tinder-box which she used, he lighted his pipe by it, and left it burning, not being conscious that the child was there. ROWIJIG-MATCH. Wednesday afternoon the River, from Westminster to Battersea, made a beautiful display, from the num ber of wherries and other boats filled with parties that graced the face of it. The attraction was a Boat-race for a Silver Cup and Cover, given by Mr. It MON, of the Red House, Battersea, to row round a boat moored off Battersea-bridge, and return on the South shore, round a boat moored off Mr. Loat's Lime-kiln, up to a wherry moored off the lted House. The following were the men selected, all of whom had frequently before been competitors for prizes, and were well known for their dexterity, skill, and management in rowing : Names and Paces. Cauurs. l F Edward arow of Hfd ungeror Blue. Thomas Howell, of Westminster Pink. Peter Haslip, of Pepper-alley Stairs Brown. Charles Westwood, of Brackfriars-bridge Green. Robert Brocking, of Chelsea Stairs Scarlet. Richard Farson, of Bankaide &airs. Light Green. George Golf, of Whitehall Stairs Bud. James Unwin, of Stangate Yellow. At two o'clock the first lour started from the centre of the River. The first two of the first and second heats were to row for the third or decisive heat. At starting, Westwood took the lead, and was closely followed by Farlow, who kept about two boats' length ahead of the other two during the whole distance; ' on their coming in at the beacon, it was annouaced by the firing of two pistols from the shore. It was a hard-contested heat, and much ingenuity was dis played by both patties. The other four, viz. Brockiag, Farson, Golf, and Unwin, at a given signal, started for the Second Heat, taking the same course; but when opposite Mr. Loat's Lime-kilns, Golf was fouled by one of the , others. This created some confusion amongst the umpires and the friends of the competitors: one wa terman received a blow of a scull upon the head, and was cut very severely. The competitors, however, lost no time, and went on without noticing the con tention amongst their friends, as it was understood they were at liberty to take all advantages of each other. They all kept in a lump for some time, but Brocking and Farson at last cleared away, and came in first. It was now about half-past five. About seven o'clock, Farlow, Westwood, Brock ing, and Farson, started for the Cup. Mr. laasoN himself was in one of the umpires' boats, carrying it in his hand. It was for a length of time doubtful who would be the winner; but on their return Brock ing and Fat son got before the other two, and were abreast of each other for a long time. This heat ex cited considerable interest, as the umpires kept the River quite clear in their coarse, and exhibited them to full view. Farson, however, got ahead and came in first, and was of course declared the winner. An Irishwoman, apparently in a state of insanity, passing along Call-lane, in Leeds, .on Tuesday even ing, with a young child in her arms, suddenly threw it under the wheel of a cart that was passing at the time, which going over the little innocent, - killed it on the spot. She was immediately taken to prison. CORN-MARKET, MARK-LANE, AUGUST 21'.
