THE APPEAL. •••••• ••••••-• - • - “ ,, r . i~ ~. The following passage is extracted from Mr. GALr's interesting Tragedy, The Appeal, lately per formed with great api louse at the Edinburgh Theatre* Ilittoenr. Why looks my Ariette so sadly pale? Attune. The sulima magic of this poet's verse rochants my spirit into pleasing wonder, Tinctur'd with holiest awe. His every thought Huh, like the halo round the sainted hoad, A heavenly and r••liglous intimation. Iluo. What is his theme? Att. • A rude pathetic tale, lbw a poor damsel hopeler. died in•sin. Tier mind was tender as the lacy film Woven at morning in the hawthorn blossoms And deck'd with gems of dew, which the soft gale That breathes but fragrance, or the gentler stir Oft!! food linnet nestling with her young, Shakes frum the weeping houghs. Oft as the moon, Round, fun, and golden, fae'd the glowing west, An evil spirit, faithful to the time, Came with persuasive dreams. I,ong she withstood Ills soft seduction, and with flowing eyes, That glimps'd like dew-drops in the muon's chute light, She pray 's' her guardian angel to be watchful. But there are times, akthe sad poet sings, When our celestial guards go up to heaven With their accou n t of that which we have done ; And in the interim, the unguarded hour, Few can resist the instigatirg fiends. - flue- Alas! %is wren so! Aar. Sir, you seem mov'd. Hun. There's an infection in such mystic telex, Which taints the heart with strange infirmity. Lead them no more; take books that treat of life, The mind soon sickens that still feeds on verse, The fruit of thriftless and distemper'd brains..so AU the endowments of the poet's mind, That rich effulgence of bright-tinted thought, Are bred by taints in his corporeal franc, As the gay glories of the tulip flower Spring from disease engender'd in the road. Ant. If this sweet poet be not one inspir'd, Surely fond Nature In some beauteous error, Did reckless frame for such a world as this, A mind so inexpediently fine. GAIIRTELLI, formerly one of the most Celebrated singers in Eurore, is still alive in Italy, and has nearly reached her ninetieth year. An article from Naples in the French Papers, says the marriage of the Princess LOUISA CIIARLOTTI, daughter of the Prince of CALABRIA, with the Infant of Spain, Don FRANets PAUL, is deferred till the return of the*KING from his journey to Rome. MOURNING FOR A QUEEN.—AII the dyers houses in London, and generally through the country, have been for a considerable time in full activity, dying black. Garments of every description, in male and female attire, have been sent to the dyer's to be dyed i black, in contemplation of a certain event daily ap-, prehended in the Royal Family. It has, however, been recently discovered that purple, not black, is the Court Mourning prescribed on the demise of a British Queen. It will, therefore, be necessary to send the black back to the dyer's to be dyed purple. It is now eighty years since the death of a reigning Queen (CAROLINE) in England. The ignorance of the present generation with respect to the mourning to be observed on such an.occasion, is therefore the more excusable. The Gentlemen's dress, we believe, is purple coat and waistcoat, with black breeches and stockings. A r EELING HEART the reduction of hands be. longing to the diving-bell vessel, in Plymouth-dock yard, East t:ek, a person of the name of Seale was discharged, whose pay, trilling as it was, supported himself, a wife, and six children, and an aged mother. On this being known, a noble fellow (a tar) of the name of Johnson, stepped forward and observed to an officer, "I am young, have served in the Navy, and may get into that service again; let me be dis charged in the room of Searle, who has a large fa mily to support." His request was complied with, but we are happy to learn' this gallant devotedness did not pasfunrewarded, as through some gentlemen of Plymouth, Johnson is likely to get another birth. MANUSCRIPTS OF VOLTAIRE.—The Aristerque nampenois contains the following article of literary intelligence, which appears authentic, and is not destitute of interest : " It was stated in the Journals, that nn the 25th of August, the day of the re erection of the Statue of Henry IV. a dedication of the Henriade, addressed by Voltaire to Louis XV. was to be read by the Secretary of the Academy. This was the finest homage that a literary body could render to a great and good King—the Bard was worthy of thediero ; but this hope has not been realized. " Count Francois de Neufchateau well knew that this piece bad. esisted, for, at a very early age, he had heard it read, but be believed it to be lost past recovery, al well as the papers which had belonged to Tlurot, front the long inquiries winch he bad unsuccessfully made, and the silence of the possessor of the papers. Grimm also was persuaded that this collection was de stroyed, as may be seen froth what he states in his Correspondence, tome ii. p. Francois de Neufchueau, however, continued his investigations, and his perseverance was rewarded the dis covery that the manuscripts were in the hands of Jacobson,. Mayor of Nolnuoutiers. M. J acobson p ossesses all that Thinit received from Voltaire, and this valuable collection consists of.- " I. The Dedication already mentioneg. This piece is in the band-writing of Voltaire, with his erasures. If reliance may be placed on the opinions of the men of letters who have heard this Dedication read, it is the most eloquent discourse ever written by Voltaire. " 2. A considerable number of letters in the band-writing of 'Voltaire. They have never been printed, and are the more cu rious from their having been written conadentially. They are full of anecdotes and historical traits of a highly interesting nature, " 3. About 50 pieces in verse, all remarkable for that grace and facility which characterise the fugitive poetry of Voltaire. " 4. Fragments of a tragedy, which Voltaire composed at the n : of twelve, and which is entitled AmuLies and NUMUTOII." The manuscripts are soon to be printed, and it is sup _posed will form an octavo vol. of about 800 pales. KLSPONSIBILITY or TEAcitERs.--One of the Pro fessors at Harrow School having accidentally entered a day school kept by agood woman, heard her repri mend a child, about five years old, who Was reading to her ; but as he hesitated in spelling some word rather difficult, the old dame broke out in these words, " Will you qualify me that word, you imp r and upon the child's saying he did not understand her, oho rejoined, " come, Sir, don't give me none of your animosities, you Jack Ass ; surely you must be noir comps;" then perceiving the Learned Gentleman, sbe exclaimed, " 0 ! Sir, what a deal us that teaches has to answec for r' The favourite Opera of 4 , Guy 'Wallowing ° was per formed yesterday evening, to a numerous audience. It introduced a new candidate for theatrical honours in the person of a young Lady, who made her first ap pearance on any Stage in the character of Lucy Be,- tram. Her name is CROWTHER, and it is understood domestic misfortunes have reduced her unexpectedly to the necessity of risking an appearance as a public singer. The great success which has attendee the exer tions of Miss STEPHENS in this part, makes it no easy task for a Toting performer completely to satisfy an audience. She, however, had the good fortune to be honoured with universal applause in singing her first song, and she obtained an encore in " 0 ! rest thee, babe. Her voice is not so powerful as that of Miss STEPHENS, but it boasts considerable sweetness, and experience will make her a valuable addition to the vocal strength of the Theatre. She sustained her part in the dialogue with correctness and much spirit. Mrs. YATSS repeated the character of Meg Merrilies with increased force and energy. Mr. Pima was the Harry Bertram of the evening, and was eminently successful : in the song, I'll love thee, night and day, Love! he was unanimously and deservedly encored ; he afterwards introduced, unaccompanied by music, the air of Love's young dream, the beauty of which has been fully acknowledged by the lovers of har mony—it is simple and beautiful, and Mr. PYRE gave it its full effect, without unnecessary decorations. The Opera, upon the whole, comprehending, as it , did, the talents of Lisroy, EMERY, B L A NC HARD, AB BOTT, WITS. DAVENPORT, and Mil: Maeriews, went off in a very good style.—The Farce of The Walker followed, followed, in which Mr. J. RUSSELL in his imitations, particularly in that of IscLetroe (though greatly caricatured), was much applauded.—The House was full, and the company happy. Bow-srnaer.--Chr Friday several persons who had purchased tickets for the English Opera on Thursday, but had been excluded in consequence of the great overflow usual on benefit nights, applied to this Office to obtain redress. One Gentleman stated that he had taken p :aces, but on proceeding to them, found the box full, and the Boxkeeper could not pro vide him with others. After waiting a considerable time in the lobby, a Gentleman was pointed out to them whom they were told was Mr. Grove. and to whom they complained without success. They were afterwards told that they would be shewn into a pri- Sate box, and a door was opened to them, after pass ing through which, instead of entering as they ex pected into a box, they found themselver, to their mortification, in the street. The Gentleman stated, that he was aware he must look for re-payment of the price of the tickets from the person from whom he purchased them, and not from the Managers but he came to support, as a witness, the complaint of the other two Gentlemen and a Lady, now present in the Office, who paid their money at the door on an assurance that there was plenty of room, when there was not a seat to be got. On demanding that their money should be returned, it was refused. Mr. Peake, the Treasurer of the Theatre, and 'the Box keeper, were sent for. Mr. Penice, with regard to the latter case, regretted that the money-taker had refused to return the money, and pail over the 15s. to the complainants; as to the other case, he was sorry for the inconvenience which the Gentleman and his family had experienced, but in the situation of the House it was impossible to find them accom modation. The MAGISTRATE informed the Box keeper, that he ought to have taken measures to turn the persons out of the box who had improperly ob• tained possession of it. George, Beck, who was sentenced to transportation for burglary in the October Sessions of 1814, andl who sailed for Botany Bay with other convicts in the ship Fanny, was charged with being at large before the expiration of his sentence. The prisoner's de fence was, that while the Fanny was lying at anchor five miles off Rio Janeiro, one evening he was lean ing against the head-railing, which broke, and he fell overboard unobserved by any person on board ; that he swam for six hours and a half with an iron on one leg, and reached the opposite shore, but did not know the name of the place. He returned to England in a brig, the name of which he did not re collect, and landed at Liverpool. lie wa; committed for trial, and the parties bound over to prosecute. MARLIOROUGIISTREET.—EIeanor Bryan, against whom a verdict of wilful murder was found, for giving a child a quantity of spiritous liquors, in con sequence of which it died, was ' yesterday fully com mitted for trial, on the Coroner s warrant. Untosi HALL.—Yesterday William Smith, a most, daring robber, was brought before the Magistrate, l by Lewis, a constable of Camberwell, and was iden-1 tified by several persons as the man whose numerous depredations have caused considerable alarm in the neighbourhood of Camberwell and Peckam. The following charges were preferred against him :—On Saturday evening about seven o'clock, as Mrs. Tyler, l of Peckham, was crossing a field near vLothbury house, she was stopped by the prisoner, who, with imprecations of the most dreadful nature, demanded her money ; she begged him to use no violence and he should have all the money that she had in her possession, and handed 10s. 6d. to him ; he then seized her hand in the most brutal manner, and forcibly stripped a ring from one of her fingers, and in so doing bruised and hurt her hand so violently, that it had been in a state of great inflammation ever since. He then made off. On Monday, he stopped Mrs. Powell, of Camberwell, at an early part of the evening, and took from her an umbrella ; her cries hastened the approach of Mr. Powell, who was some distance behind, and the prisoner escaped, notwith standing great exertions were made by Mr. Powell to take him into custody. On Tuesday night, about eight o'clock, Mrs. Downes, of Kennington, was stopped by the prisoner on Kennington-cemmon ; he thrust his hand into her pocket, and took out all the money and a silver fruit-knife, and ran off; threaten ing at the same time to return and murder her if she made any noise. On Thursday morning, at eleven o'clock, he accosted Mrs. Jones, of Rosemary-branch lane, Peckham, in a field near Peckham, and before. I she had time to reply to a question whic h he asked her about the time of the day, snatched an umbrella from her hand, tore a ring from her finger, and de manded all the money she had about her, and threat ened, with horrid oaths, to murder her if she offered the smallest resistance. Mrs. Jones was in the act of &awing the money from her pocket when he ea served the approach of some persons and made oil: Information being given to Lewis, the constable, of the above daring robberies, he procured assistance, arid commenced a search after the perpetrator. Per ceiving the prisoner loitering about in a field, he took him into custody on suspicion; and upon searching him found in his possession the ring that he had taken from Mrs. Jones, and a pawnbroker's dwitcate of an umbrella, which was ascertained to be the one belonging to Mrs. Powell, and in another field the umbrella belonging to Mrs. Jones was found con cealed under the hedge. In the pocket of the priso ner were found numerous religious tracts, waming most impressively the readers from an evil course of' life, and containing in front the representation of a man upon a gallows. The prisoner made no defence : he was committed. Sftwowxu---A Gitosr.,—Mrs. Jervis, of Regent street, Poplar, applied to the Magistrates on Thurs day lait, in consequence of frightful noises being every night heard in her house, the cause of which cannot be discovered. These noises have been heard, she said, for three years past, and mobs now assemble in the street to hear the ghost. Possession having been taken of the house in this strange way, no tenant can be found, and it remains on the owner's hands. The Magistrates immediately directed some Officers to occupy the house, and to apprehend, as soon as possible, the evil spirit, which, however, they have not yet been able to catch. AGGRAVATED Ournam—Monday morning, be tween the hours of five and sir o'clock, an outrage of a very aggravated nature, was committed near to Milt street, in the neighbourhood of Cork. A gang of fellows, under the pretence of having a Decree, re paired to the house of an industrious man of the name of M'Carthy, the doors of which they broke open, and the family being in bed, commenced collecting every article • they could,' including the garments of DlCarthy's wife, near the bed, which would have left her completely naked. Upon her endeavouring to detain her cloak, to cover her for the moment, one of the gang presented and fired a pistol, which blew off the upper part of her head and her right eye, after which they retreated. Intelligence of the transaction having reached BARRY Correa, Esq. a neighbouring Magistrate, he, attended by a number of country people, the tenants of himself and Dr. WALLI% com menced a pursuit, and having traced the lawless of. fenders to a house where they 'had shut themselves up ; after an ineffectual attempt at resistance, five of them were taken, and lodged in the Bridewell, at .Mill i twcof the number having escaped. • Ixnuesrs.—An inquisition was taken yesterday at the Black Horse, Chandos-Street, upon the body of Michael Cockering.—Several witnesses were exa- L mined as to the cause of the deceased's death. It j was stated that he was very often in liquor, or rather very seldom sober. On the preceding evening he was drinking at a public-house in New Round -court, in the Strand, and was so mach intoxicated that he I was nearly insensible ; he had been drinking without cessation for three days ; he was taken home, and though in the situation described he wanted more . liquor, which was refused him. He afterwards be , came perfectly insensible from the effect of the li -1 quor, and expired. The witnesses were of opinion j , that he was suffocated by the excessive quantity of liquor which he had drank.—Verdict, Died from ex ; cessive thinking. Another. Inquest was taken at the Sugar Loaf, Garlick-hill, Thames-street, upon the body of a poor woman who obtained a subsistence by selling matches. , Her name was not known. She had swept the cros sings at St. Margaret's-hill, in the Borough, on a Sunday, for more than thirty years.—Mr. Thomas Page, ofVintner's Hall, said, the deceased had served,' the Hall with matches for a number otyears ; she came to his house on Wednesday afternoon, and the' girl bought two pennyworth of matches, which she paid for ; in about fire minutes afterwards she was found dead in an alley, opposite his house, and she was conveyed to the vestry of the Church. The de ceased generally carried a wood box about her, which she put her money into. Neither the box nor the two-peace paid by Mr. Page's servapt, were found in her basket; it was supposed they were carried off by a bone-gatherer, who was with the deceased for same time after she fell on the ground, before any one came up.—Verdict, Died by the visitation of GOD. Another Inquest was held at the Lord Hood, Rich street, on the body of George Cowderoy, aged three years and a half, son to Mr. Cowderoy, china mer chant, of Rich-street. It appeared that the deceased, who was. at play with another child, saw a mug con taining fly-water lying on the window-ledge, and liking the appearance of it he drank it off; his screams brought assistance; the child's mouth was burnt dreadfully, and on opening the body after death, the coats of the stomach were tOtind Inmit in a shocking manner. It being proved that the deceased drank it of his own accord, the Jury returned a verdict of, Accidental Death. • Yesterday an Inquest- was held at Guy's hospital, Southwark, on the body of Owen Bryan, who died in consequence of his falling into a vat of alkaline salts. It appeared that the deceased, who was em ployed as a coke-burner, by Messrs. Cleavers, Nar row-wall, Lambeth, on Friday evening last, one of his fellow men and deceased quarrelled ; deceased stepped towards the man, who rose, when the de ceased reeled backwards and fell in the vat. He was taken to Guy's Hospital that evening ; he lived until Thursday, when he expired. It did - not appear that any blows passed between the parties, nor was any malice conspicuous on the part of the man who quar relled with the deceased. The Jury almost imme diately returned a verdict of—Accidental Death. LIBEL—A trial for libel, Rippingh am versus Lunen, took place in the Assize Court, Kingston, Jamaica, on the sth of August last. The plaintiff is well known, having delivered lectures on elocution and public speaking at the Surrey Institution. The defendant is the printer and publisher of the Kingston Chronicle, the Journal in which the libel appeared. Mr. Rip pingham pleaded his own cause, though opposed by two eminent Counsel, who were retained for the de fendant. The damages were laid at £lOOO, and It ver dict for 2301. was obtained. Mr. Lunan was not the author of the libel, but became the object of thy pro secution on account of his refusing to deliver up the real writer. The object of the libel was chiefly to im- I peach the talents of the plaintiff, but did not contain any attack on his character or general conduct. -.' ......amarbe..4ol* 111,almarr. .. oixaalirrie ? • ( 1 l iti teP lir ealtil.." tsimffmsalsre Ilmmailasli corrNme.
