Dneiti-Lates.—:A Gentleman, named Cowett, from the Theatres Royal, York and Lincoln, last night made his first appearance, before a London au dience, at this Theatre. The characters selected by him for his debut were Samson. in The Iron Chest, and Nicholas, in The Midnight Hour. In his'appearance and manner he reminded us much of Mr. HARLEY, whose style of actinghc seems to have studied with some success. He was very favourably received, and promises to prove a useful acquisition to the Theatre. Mr. KEAN played Sir Eduard Mortimer, its the Play, in his usual excellent manner ; he was rapturously applauded, and his announcement for the part of Sir Giks Overreach, on Saturdal night, was received with an universal plaudit. Mr. Wit,Liasis, the Gentleman who on Tuesday appeared, for the first time, in the chara l'otterion,in Love Laughs at Locksmiths appearei (VT d time last night as the General: in The Midnight r , 'Pie selection was not for tunate .; he is subjected to ^ nrasted with Muu• DEN in this character, and he suers much in the comparison. His success was not eqnal to tha. which he met with on his first appetrance at Tottcrton. It is but justice, however, to say, he met with consi le derable applause. The House was well filled. COVENT GA R0r314....1•411. " M. • It REX ap peared in a now character, brat of .Sir Anthony A.i•.)- lute, in the ad-..ired comedy of ate Rivals. This is a cast of character the very reverse of Lord Ogleby, Sir Bashful Constant, or Sir Peter Teazle; yet Mr. FAR JUN proved himself fully equal to the task. He gave a faithful picture of the choleric fatter; his manner of commanding his son to marry and love a woman he had never seen, and whose name even he refused to communicate—and his subsequent description of the young Lady's charms, when his son consents to have her, were among his most successful efforts.— His performance of last night has given him addi tional claim to public approbation. Miss BRUNTON played Lydia Languish for the first time; and WAS much applauded. Mr. CHARLES KEsiaLe. gave a spi rited and correct picture of Captain Abso?utc. The other characters were cast as usual, and were well sustained. The house was well filled at the rising of the curtain in every part.—The two " wonderful per formance" men have made their second and their last appearance here. The tumbler endured the same miscellany of applause and hissing ai on his former appearance. He was followed by his colleague, a conjuror, net a tumbler, whose failure was quite un qualified. A small field-piece was brought on the etage, and charged by the conjuror with a bullet or cricket-ball ;he then placed himself in the range of the gun—the lighting . match was raised—general alarm and subdued shrieking among the ladies in the boxes, and cries of " Off, off," from all parts of the Iloose—but it was a false alarm—the match was applied again and again—and only burned priming. The gun would not go of—but the conjuror did, overwhelmed with confusion. The audience cla moured for the Manager, and Mr. Etworrr lost no time hi acquainting them, that the object of the Pro. prietors was to entertain the public, and if ++ these gentlemen" failed to do so, they should not trouble At audience again. ATIOOIOUS ATTEMPT TO POISON.A crime of a very extensive and serious nature was attempted on Sunday sennight, in the family of a respectable far ' me, in the neghbouthood of Torres. A man ser vant on the farm having some dislike to a young' Woman ' who had charge of the dairy, and acted 'as cook in the family, in order to ruin her, as he ima gined, without calculating on the consequence to others, adopted the diabolical measure of putting a quantity of arsenic into milk, which was intended for the food for a number of reapers ; they took a small part of the milk to supper on the Sunday evening, and several found themselves extremely unwell dur ing the night ; but on the Monday morning they were enabled to resume their labour ; on that day, however, they got the remaining part of the milk to breakfast, and, un going again to their work, no fewer than fifteen of them fell down in the course of a law minutes, in a state of great agony, on the field. Medical aid was soon procured, and the cause of this alarming occurrence being discovered, immediate means were taken, which, we are happy to under stand, have on the whole of the cases, counteracted the deleterious effects of the poison ; of two persons there were very serious apprehensions for some days. The wretch who is supposed to have perpetrated this enormous offence has absconded. Anuse or PARINTS.—On the 9.5 th ult. a person of the name of Oliver, a journeyman plasterer, was tried at Kirkcudbright, before Sir ALEXANDIft GORDON, Steward of the Stewartry, and a Special Jury, for the crime of cursing and otherwise threatening, and for using personal violence towards his aged and wi dowed mother. Several witnesses were examined, whose evidence conclusively established the fact of _ _ the prisoner having abused her in the grossest man ner, and of his having threatened to deprive her of life • none of the witnesses saw the prisoner strike his mother, but one of them affirmed, that from various circumstances she had no doubt of his having done so. The agent for the prisoner offered to examine evidence relative to his conduct in jail since his ap prehension, which, it was contended, would prove that the prisoner was imbecile, and not in the posses sion of his entire faculties. This evidence was rejec ted by the Steward, on the ground that it had no re ference to the period when the outrage was commit ted, and because the conduct of thepnsoner in Court, and the pertinence and sagacity of his remarks, sheaved that he was perfectly sound in his judgment. The Jury were then very ably addressed by Mr. GRA- DoN, Procurator Fiscal, on the part of the Crown, and by Mr. Nisinne on the part of the prisoner, and after a short charge from the Steward, retired to consider their verdict. After a few minutes consul-• ration, the Jury returned a verdict, finding the fact of the prisoner's having cursed and otherwise grossly abused his mother proven, but findag the charge of his having struck her not proven. The prisoner was then addressed by Sir ALLIANDZR GORDON in a short but impressive speech, and sentenced to six months imprisonment, and thereafter to be banished the Siewartry for the space of seven years. This is the only case of the kind which has been tried in Scotland for many years. T)ss Court was through out very Much crowded. VIOLATION OF QUARANTINE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sett—l am not bog returned from the Mediterra-i nean, and am anal through the medium of your excellent Paper, to call the attention of one at least 'of the Government Departments, to what has re cently passed there. It is well known at Valetta, the capital of Malta, that the laws of quarantine have been recently in fringed there in two instances, and that, in another case, ready pratique, where it ought not either to have been given or accepted, was procured. This I con sider to have been as bad, if not worse, than a direct infraction. In the first instance to which I have al luded, a vessel entered the harbour of Valletta from Tunis, then infected by plague, and, a distinguished individual having been kneed from her, she was in stantly put under quarantine. In the case of ready pratique—the same vessel having prdteeded to Alex andria, in Egypt, where the plague then raged vior. lently, had a short passage back to the harbour of Valletta, notwithstanding there was a deviation to procure pratique at one of the lonian Islands. Now, Mr. Editor, the brig by which the islands of Malta tn 1 Gozo were infected in 1813, had a long. passage from Vexandria in Egypt, and the symp-, toms of plague were not manifested on a part of the crew until she was near reaching her destined port, Valletta. It is known that in the port of a place in fected it is utterly impossible to answer for seamou ever anxious to procure drink, and many of them excellent swimmers; —so that between their address, and the cunning of the natives, who could have as sured himself, in the case of the vessel in question, that there had not been, either in the city or port of APexandria, contact of persons, or the smuggling on board of effects called by us susceptible, and by fo reigners contumacious? The crew, therefore, com municating freely with Valletta and the interior of the island, might .....—From plague, good .... deliver us, whether British or Maltese! These events having passed, it happened shortly after- at Malta., that the Master of an Italian vessel in quarantine, was very Foperly shot by a tontine], for violating the quarantine laws. He had taken his boat to visit one or several of his friends; and it is evident that if this were to be permitted, where some may have just entered on their quarantine, and others may be on the eve of obtaining pratique, the quarantine it ' self would be indefinite. Well! Sir, what beside the shooting resulted from this ? A copy of the Maltese Gamut was laid on the table at the Commercial Rooms, Valletta, with the following epigram written in the margin in a disguised hand: lien, In Death's icy breed@ Lies Gavin Capaecto, And the Court* says he merits his doom! Bat he desered shooting, As he did, past disputing, Pray what fate is resoled for This epigram says more in six lines than I could say in six hundred: so I have done with that. But about the Levant Plague—it is a subject on which I could fill your paper ; but I beg to address only a few words to you, Sir, and to your Readers. The plague has recently visited the shores bordering on the Italian States, and has now extended itself westward along the African coast to Tangiers; but when I talk with my dear countrymen about the possibility, nay pro bability even, of its being introduced into Great Bri tain, what do they reply / It would not spread here. It would no sooner be lighted up than extinguished ; for consider our habits, our mode of living, our clean liness, &c. &c.—Now I do assert, not without having well reflected on the subject, that the inhabitants of Malta were as well, if not better protected by their habits, mode of living, cleanliness, &c. &c. in the year 1813, at the same time that they had great ad vantages of ventilation and pure r.ir, as are at present the inhabitants of Great Britain. But they have been so subject to plague, and we have remained so long without it. Consider 1665 !—Dear Sir, the latest visitation of plague the Maltese knew on their island up to 1813, was only about fourteen years after the date of 1665 you mention; and what are fourteen years, or nineteen even, reckoning up to the present time, when compared with a century and a half?-- But we are so careful at our Lazarettoes.—So was the Maltese Government in 1813 ; and consider, said I, what a trifle will do the mischief: the fur of a cat, or a pigeon's feather.—But can the latter fly all the way from Alexandria, in Egypt, from Tunis, in Africa, or from elsewhere, to Great Britain P—No— but something else may, in a sailor's pocket. Do but reflect for a moment how the plague was wafted over from Malta, some months after it had ceased there, to Gov+, in the pocket of a Priest. This may be Greek (a language which the Maltese Priests under stand so well) to some people; so I'll say a word or two about the Greeks at Valletta in 1813. During the continuance of the plague, they not only took the usual precautions of removing from their apartments table-cloths, napkins, baize coverings, and, in shot, whatever was most susceptible, but they sat at re mote corners from each other, although not one had stirr d abroad since its commencement. Why did they so P—l will tell you : a scrap of paper—a pigeon's feather, might have been wafted into the apartment by the wind, and have touched the gar ment of one of them. As strange a thing happened at Valetta about the same time; another pestilence, called the small pox, was communicated from the Naval Hospital to the Bagnio, in which the prisoners of war were confined, by a bit of linen—a rag. VIATOR, ET CEMPER VIATOR. • The Court Ossett& Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Horse Shoe and Magpie, Saffron-hill, on the body of S. Wright. Mary Lennard had known the deceased about two months, he went about the streets picking up bones to sell, he used to lie on some hampers ; she fre quently gave him scraps of victuals, as he seemed ',very feeble. On Friday he said he was very ill about his limbs, and could not get up when he sat down ; she made him some tea, and offered him bread and butter, which he refused, saying, his appetite would not take it ; but he appeared to stifle his ma lady as much as possible, for fear of being sent to the workhouse, as he had been threatened. Witness saw him sitting on a hamper on Friday night, where he had lately slept, and on Saturday morning she found him dead in the same place and posture.— Verdict, Found dead; his death having beta 4cca. tended by the inclemency of the weather. PoLict MANSION Hotsa.—Yesterday two sisters" named Anne and Crewe, were charged with assaulting Mr. C. Hunt,' a merchant. The eldest sister had lived in the prosecutor's family as cook, for sixteen days, but was discharged on account of general bad con duct. The day after her dismissal he received a letter from her, threatening him if he did not give her pecuniary assistance ; as he disregarded it he af terwards received others, charging him with being the father of a child with which she was pregnant. At last he consulted with his partner, and agreed, in consequence, to meet her at kis counting-house. Here the assault complained of was committed. The elder prisoner went to live with Mr. Hunt on the Ist of September, and. on the 17th she charged him as being the father of a child with which she says she is pregnant.—She was ordered to find bail, which was provided for her, and her sister was discharged. MAALBOROWOH-STREICT.--A M' Naughton, Esq. was charged again yesterday with assaulting one of the sentinels at Carlton-house, on Wednesday even ing. J. Rawlinson, the prosecutor, stated the disor derly conduct of the defendant, and his incoherent language. He stated that he was an officer in the Army, and he should act as he thought proper upon the King's highway. The sentinel was compelled to call a watchman, as the defendant unfixed his bayo net. In defence, the accused said, that he was pro tecting a Scotch girl from liberties the sentinels wanted to take with her, and he was bound to watch through the streets to protect his countrywomen, as a member of an institution created for that purpose. He was ordered to find bail. . Joseph Anderson was fully committed, charged with robbing his master, a butcher, of a quantity of fat. Usllosi-HALL.—Yesterday, Mr. Anthony Wagstqf, a partner in the firm of Wagstaff and Co. bed and mattrass manufacturers, Mint-street, Southwark, was brought before the Magistrates by Snow the Con stable, under the following circumstances :—Between ten and eleven o'clock in the morning of yesterday, Mrs. Sarah Chamberlain, of the Mint, applied to Snow in a state of extreme agitation, and implored him to go with her to the warehouse of Mr. Wagstaff instantly, for that her son was being murdered. Snow considering it to be one of those trifling brawls which frequently occur in Southwark, hesitated to accom pany her; but the daughter of Mrs. Chamberlain coming immediately after, under a similar feeling of anxiety, and joining her intreaties to those of her mo ther, he was induced to believe that something serious had happened, and then accompanied them to the warehouse of Wagstaff and Co. Upon entering, he 'perceived the body of a young man laid upon a quan tity of flax ; there was no appearance of life, and the blood was streaming from the nose, eyes, and ears. Dr. Larkins was sent for, and he recommended that as Guy's Hospital was so near at hand, the young man should be conveyed thither. The recommerala -6011 was attended to, and the wounded person was ' carried there upon a shutter. Snow took the prisoner into custody, under to aline that the situation of young Chamberlain had been occasioned by a violent attack uposi his person by him. -Mrs. Chamberlain said, that on Wednesday the pii loner engaged her son, who is about 18 years of age, Ito perform some labour for him in the way of bun ness. One of the materials upon which he was at I work being a quantity of tow, he left off very early in the evening, in order to avoid using a candle ; and, to complete his day's work, went to the warehouse yesterday morning, and continued his business till ten o'clock, when having performed what he con ceised to be a day's work, he applied for his wages, which so exasperated Mr. Wagstaff, who insisted that he should continue to work the whole of yesterday, that he se zed a large stick, and attacked him in a furious manner. Several persons hearing the cries of young Chamberlain, ran to his mother and informed her that her son was being murdered. She arrived just as the prisoner had knocked her son down, with his head against a beam, and saw him stand upon his neck till the blood gushed out from his nose, ears, and mouth. She then sought the assistance 'of an officer, while Mr. Evan Palmer, of Whitecross-street, and several other persons whom the cries of young Chamberlain had attracted to the spot, prevented the prisoner from making his escape. Ile offered consi derable resistance to the officer, but was ultimately overpowered, and secured by handcuffs. The prisoner in his defence said, that the young man refused to quit the premises when he ordered him to do so, was extremely violent, and commenced .the affray by striking him.—A messenger was sent to the Hospital yesterday afternoon to ascertain the state of the young man, when it appeared that he continued perfectly senseless, and his recovery was considered extremely doubtful.-1-Prisoner remanded Tuesday night, the premises of Messis. Stevens, Wood, and Williams, ironmongers, in Oxfcrd.street, were broken into at the back of the house. The thieves forced their way into the froat shop, and car ried off ironmongery and brass of considerable value. A few nights ago some thieves cut the lead from a board at a fishmonger's shop, near Temple-bar.— The board on which the fish is exposed for sale pro jected from the house, and the sheet lead that co vered it was stripped off. A short time after a man was stopped in Westminster by an Officer, with the lead in ins possession. On Saturday last, a man, who at different times called himself Edward Steward, John Steward, John Johnston, Captain Steward, and Mr. Donagh, was brought to the Police Office, Dublin, charged with having passed Forged Notes, purporting to be of the Bank of Ireland. The committal being signed, this man of many names was given in charge to two peace officers to convey to New g ate. His wife, who had attended to know his fate, also accompanied him on his way. As they were quietly proceeding along Arran-quay, one of the officers, close beside the pn soner, the other officer and his wife behind, this poor deerepid maimed veteran, suddenly flung his stick into the air, threw up his heels, and ran up Lin:oln-lane, with a swiftness becoming the leader of a light bri gade. In order that the retreat might he effectually covered, as he approached the boys of Smithfield, he cried—" Save me, save me, a poor debtor, from the two Bailiffs !" and belote the astonished peace offi cers could beat a parley, one of them received a blow that laid hint prostrate ; fad in the mean time the 1. delinquent escaped.
