TABLE TALK, HISTORICAL, POLITICAL, LEARNED, and HUMOROUS* Pleasant without scarring!, witty without affection, ands - doss without impudency, learned without opinion, and strange without lieresy."--SuassegaßN. " WA Warre is a scourge of the wrath of GOD, which by famine, fire, or sword, humbleth the spirits of the repentant, tryeth the patience of the faithfull, and hardneth the hearts of the ungodly. It is the misery of time, and the terror of nature ; the dispeopling of the earth, and the ruin of hir beauty. Hir life is action ; hir food, blond ; hir honour, valor ; and hir joy, con quest. Shee is valor's exercise, and honor's adventure ; reason's trouble, and peace's enemy ; shoe is the stout man's love, and the weak man's feare ; the poor man's toile, and the rich man's plague ; shee is the armourer's benefactor, and the chirurgeon's agent ; the coward's ague, and the desperate's overthrow ; shee is the wish of envy, the plague of them that wish hir, the shipwracke of life, and the agent for death. The best of hir is, that shee is the seasoner of the body and the manager of the minde, for the induring of labor, in the resolution of action. Shee thunders in the aire, rips up the earth, cuts through the seas, and consumes with the fire. Shoe is indeed the invention of malice, the worke of mischiefe, the musique of hell, and the daunce of the devill. She makes the end of youth untimely, and of age wretch ed ; the citie's Backe, and the countrie's beggary. Shee is the captaine's pride, and the captive's sorrow ; the throat of blond, and the grave of flesh. Shee is the woe of the world, the punishment of sinne, the passage of danger, and the messenger of destruction. Shee is the wise man's warning, and the foole's paiment ; the godly man's griefs, and the wicked man's game. In suntme, so many are her woundes, so mortall her cures, so daunge rous her course, and so devilish her devises, that I will wade no further in her rivers of blond, but only thus con clude in her description: She is GoD's curse, and Man's misery ; hell's practise, and earth's hell."—N. BRETON'S " Characters upon Essaies." Ed. 1615. VOLUMINOUS LIBILARY...-We are told that the li brary of I. I. Fucc RR, which was committed to the care of JEROM WOLFIVS, contained as many books as there are stars in the sky ! FEMALE FIDELITY AND PRESENCE OF MIND..— 18011 1809 A man named PEARSON, would have betrayed GusTA Pus of Sweden (who had taken shelter in his cottage) to his enemies, but when the pursuers came, his wife saved the King with wonderful presence of mind, by treating him like a servant and turning him into the scullery. HOMAGE To Evs.—The sect of ' Quintilians' esta blished by the prophetess QUINTILIA, attributed pecu liar gifts and superiority to Evn, for having first eaten of the Tree of Knowledge. PERIL OF PROPHECY.—In 1540, GONZALES BAN.. DARA, a cobler of Lisbon, had nearly finished his days at the stake, under the sentence of the Inquisition, for utter ing absurd predictions. By a not unusual revolution in human affairs, it chanced that a hundred years afterwards when the house of BRAGANZA rose to the throne of Por tugal, some of the cobler's fanatic effusions were judged to have pointed out, clearly, the events which had newly happened ; and the memory of a man who had hardly escaped the flames as an impostor, was honoured as that of an inspired prophet. PERIL OF SANCTITY...—ST. ROMUALD underwent a singular species of peril from his own reputed sanctity, and from the fanatical respect borne to him by his neigh bours. He had long resided in Catalonia; but having declared his intention of quitting that country, the inha bitants, rendered almost desperate by the dread of losing their holiest of hermits, consulted together and deter mined to cut the good saint's throat, that they might at least be sure of that share of the miracles which the bones of so eminently pious a man might work amongst them. The result of this conference chancing to reach the ears of Romuald, he made a private and speedy re treat from Spain, not chusing to be made into reliques before his time. HONORABLE EULOGY.—The Earl of MORETON, Re gent of Scotland, was present at the funeral of KNox, and pronounced his eulogium in a few words, which were the more honorable to the dead, as they came from the lips of one whom he had censured with peculiar severity, whilst living :—" There liesHe who never feared the face of man." UNINTENTIONAL SARCASM. Bishop BURNET'S absence of mind is well known. Dining with the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH, after her husband's disgrace, he compared this great General to BELISARIUS. " But, said the Duchess, eagerly, " how came it that such a man was so miserable, and universally deserted ?" " Oh, Madam," exclaimed the distrait Prelate, " he had such a brimstone of a wife !" Walpoliana. RETORT COURTEOUS......DEODATI, Professor at Ge neva, was one day asked what he.thought of the preach ing of DuMOVLIN ? to which he answered, sneeringly, " Clear waters are never deep." Shortly afterwards, D EODATI himself delivered a sermon, and DUMOULIN was asked his opinion. Du m ouLiw, who had learned the remark of the critic, parodied the expression, and answered, " Deep waters are never clear." THE PITY OF PIETY.—A Gascon Preacher stopped short in the pulpit : it was in vain that he scratched his head ; no " wit would come."—" My friends," said he, as he walked quietly down the pulpit stairs, " My friends, I pity you, for you have lost a fine discourse!"

Silt—As your Correspondent who addressed you some time since on this subject, under the signature of " A CONSTANT READER," has not availed himself of your willingness to bring to issue the pretensions of the re spective claimants to the merit of having invented THE SPINNING JENNY, by the insertion of any authenticated proof that he might possess to the prejudice of Sir RICHARD ARKWRIGHT,—I now transcribe, in confir mation of the statement which originally appeared in " THE STAR," a passage which I find in a memoir of Mr. Secretary PEEL, contained in a work published by Messrs. IA:moue); and Co. and entitled Public Cha racters of 1828. I ant, Sir, your obedient servant, A. D. Z. " The Cotton Trade was as yet in a state comparatively rude, ex cept immediately in those place. in which Sir Riciraati A RILIVIUGIIT had succ►eded in procuring the adoption of his machinery. Ob vious, and, as it might be presumed, unquestionable, as were the advantages of the machinery proposed and invented by Sir B. A Mt wawa; they encountered in many districts an incredible degree of opposition, as tending to change the habits and manners of the peasantry, and to throw the poor out of employment, by substi tuting machinery for human labour. It was not as yet well under stood that the first result of such machinery would be the working of such a vast increase of goods, and at such a diminished price, as must greatly augment the sphere and quantity of the consumption ; that the commodity would thus be brought into universal demand, and that such demand must require the employment of all hands to supply It. If the quantity made were, indeed, always to remain the same, the employment of machinery would necessarily displace so much human labour, and give no other compensation for so much evil and misery than the cheaper price of such goods to the public. But as the demand must always increase with the vast and extraordinary reduction of price occasioned by the use of ma chinery.; this increase of demand will require such a perpetual in crease of labouring hands, either to work the machinery or to pre pare the materials for it, that the effect will eventually be, to aug ment rather than to diminish the call for human labour. These principles, however, were not understood at this early period, and the consequence was, that in many places Sir R. Aacwaionv's in vention was either not introduced, or was very imperfectly ma naged or worked at the time."—Poilie Characters of 1828, Lona. stay and Co. THE LATE M. DUMONT. The late M. Dumont, the celebrated Jurist, and Editor of the Works of Mr. Bentham, was born at Geneva in 1759. In early life be struggled with, and overcame the disadvantages of poverty, and the brilliancy of his first studies foretold the success of his future literary career. He was educated for the Church, and at the early age of twenty-two years his persuasive and animated eloquence in the pulpit, the clearness and elegance of his diction, joined to an Impressive delivery, attracted crowds of eager auditors. The political disturbances of 1782 induced him to quit his native country, and the scene of his poularity as a preacher was transferred to Petersburg!), where he was received as Pastor of the Reformed Church. He soon after visited England, where he remained for some years in the strictest intimacy with the Mar quis of Lansdown, Lord Holland, Sir Samuel Readily, and other distinguished political characters. Jut before the memorable epoch of the French Revolution be went to Paris, and became associated with Mirabeau, as his friend and fellow-labourer in the cause of Reform. Although so little known to the world at large as an actor in the political events of that time, that his name is rarely mentioned in contemporary memoirs, he was engaged in important occupations behind the scenes, and many of the most celebrated passages of Mirabeas's public speeches and political publications were from the pen of M. Dumont. The same self-de nial which induced him to labour for the fame of others, distin guished his character through life. With a mind stored with useful information, a sound, discriminating judgment, a lively fancy, and a style abounding with point, he was capable of composing original works, which would have secured to hint a great immediate reputation. This sort of reputation he sacrificed to higher views of utility; and above 50 years of his life were devoted to the exposition, development, and adaptation of those principles which have honourably connected his name with that of, perhaps, the greatest writer on Legislation in this or any other country. "If it seldom happens," says a writer in The Edinburgh Review, (Sir S. Romilly)," that to such extraordinary talent as Bentham Foment is united an ardent desire to devote them totally and exclusively to the service of man kind, it is no less uncommon to find a writer possessed of the eloquence, the powers of development, and the per spicuity and vigour of expression which so eminently distin guish Dumont, contented, instead of applying his great endow ments to some original work which might immortalise himself, to submit, from no other motive than that of benefiting his fellow creatures, to the humble office of setting forth another's ideas to advantage, and of advancing another's fame.".--.E.D. Rev. No. 57, p. 237. In 1814 he returned to his native country, which had just recovered its independent Government, and in the language of a Swiss Journal, " to her interests be devoted his time, his know ledge, and his eloquence. Eager for steady improvement, the cause of truth was proclaimed by him without bitterness—that of liberty without violence. In the Representative Assembly, in its Commtttees, and in society, be captivated every mind; and obtained that confidence and respect from others which was due to the ex tent of his views, the soundness of his opinions, the grasp of his in tellect, and the purity of his intentions. But those whose good for. tune it was to enjoy his intimacy will never forget that the rarest qualities of the individual were in his character joined to the greatest public virtue. Amiable and affectionate, he rejoiced in the happiness and success of others. Eminently attractive in conversation, and benevolent in all the relations of society . his family tithed him as a father, and his friends were ever sure to find him the same, however much they differed from him in political opinions." It is not, however, solely as a literary man that we should admire him • and the esteem and regret evinced by the lively emotions of his fe llow-citizens, who followed him to the grave, will justify the remark, that his ambition of reading his his tory in the happiness of his country was rewarded by the highest applause that can fall to the lot of man. " His tomb a people's tears shed over bins." But his usefulness extended beyond the narrow limits of his little republic ; and, as the world advances in know ledge, he will be revered, as among the first of those who ex pounded the just principles of jurisprudence and legislation ; and taught, by precept and example,• the duties of a pure and benevo lent morality. DONCASTER , ROBBERY.—COMMITTAL OF JAMES, alias JosIAH SNIART.—Monday, after a very long exa mination at the Mansion-house, Doncaster, which lasted upwards of four hours, James, alias Josiah Smart, was fully committed to take his trial at the next York As sizes for the above robbery. Messrs. Mason and Col linson appeared as solicitors for the prosecution, and Mr. Stocks Heaton for the prisoner. THE THEATRES. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. A new comic opera was presented at this Theatre last night, called The Night before the Wedding, and the Wedding Night, in which Mr. DEAN made his first ap pearance. The plot of the drama runs thus : " Sir Lionel Lorimer (Mr. W 000) a Colonel of Infantry, is ca rousing with his brother officers on the night before his wedding• and Laughingly dares any of the party to supplant him with the lady who bas consented to be his bride. The challenge is ac ctpted. and a wager founded upon it on the part of one of Sir Lionel's comrades, Valentine Acton (Mr. Demi), who suspects that t yis Marina (Miss Mirages) towards whom he has long preferred an accepted suit, but which bad been broken off Ly some love-quarrel or mkunderstanding. He is confirmed in his ma picion by seeing his' happy rival produce her portrait, and de termines ts; on endeavouring to obtain an interview and explana tion with her in time to re-awaken her former tenderness, and place himself in the envied situation of Sir Lionel. In this hr is assisted by his impudent and cunning valet, Hector, (Mr. J. Rus set.) who introduces his mater and himself to the presence of the Lady in the disguise of minstrels; and by the aid of Jocelyn and Rose, (Mr DURUM' and Miss H. Cawsz,) =naives to substitute ►alentine for Lionel at the very steps of the altar. The latter being reminded of his wager. takes the matter very coolly, and when he finds himself laughed at by his comrades, hay the philosophy to laugh with them. and to bless the bride ..nd bridegi.oni." To bring about the denouement of this simple affair, a great many characters are employed ; and, us may be anticipated; they have little or nothing to do. There are no less than seventeen dramatis persona, besides officers, servants, and an innumerable host of Morris dancers. We believe, that had it not been for the agreeable man ner in which Mr. WOOD sustained the character 9f Sir Lionel Lorimer, and the urch acting of Miss H. CA W SE, in the part of Rose—a peasant—the thing would have been damned. One redeeming quality, to be sure, the piece possesses. It abounds in good music and songs. One of these songs, by Mr. WOOD, as the Colonel, was very deservedly applauded : Yes, a soldier's breast should be free from love, Lest in the hour of duty He think on the sigh of a widow'd heart. And the tears of orphan beauty : Or if he fall, slain in battle-field, Whatever high fame assigned him, His last beam of pride is o'ershadow'd by woe Fur the sorrow he leaves behind him. Yet a soldier's breast should be fraught with love— Then in the strife severest His arm will be strong, and hie courage firm, Yes, for her he treasures dearest: With broken sword, 'Death his banner, then Dead on the lists should they find him; He'll lie where the heart of his love may be cheer'd In the glory he leaves behind him. There appear to us to be both fact and fancy in these stanzas. Mr. RUSSEL, as Hector, the cunning valet of Valentine Acton, made a good hit in his invocation to the demons of intrigue ; and Miss H. CA WSE, as the peasant girl, got through the following verses with ama zing effect : " Shun all the men !" such my father's advice is ; " L'oor maiden's hearts with as baubles they play ; " Guard well your peace, or 'tis lost in an bar. ant; " Lovers alike silly damsels betray." Ahl—what a fate ours !—oh ! terrible crisis ! If we should fall in love—what can we do? These naughty men ! a perplexing! Beguiling ! untrue ! These cunning men ! Wicked men! " Once a young Rose gaily bloom'd is a bower, " Calm was her life as the blue Is the sky, " Till a false butterfly, borne on a zephyr, •' Sipp'd all her perfume and left her to die." Roses are we that fade in one short hour; Robb'd of our sweetness, in vain we grieve; Maids, mark the fable—fluttering! beguiling,! AU butterflies believe These cunning men! Wicked men! Another pretty song " The Knight of the Scarlet Plume" by the same lady was loudly encored ; and these reliefs, scattered through the tedious details of the drama, fairly redeemed the whole. Of the new aspirant for histrionic fame, Mr. DEAN, we would rather not speak— particularly to-day—as we think there is another chance for him. THE ADELPHI. "BILLY TAYLOR" AND THE SISTERS." Claim in that early and excellent specimen of • Autobiography'—the " Apology for his Life,"—after relating, in the pleasantest tone that ever mortified vanity assumed, the disappointment he experienced when, on his success in the' Old Bachelor,' he " found that there were few or no parts of the same kind to be had," or any other parts which his brother comedians considered " in his way ;" lets us fairly into his notions of histrionic qualifications by observing that he " thought every thing naturally written ought to be in every one's way that pretended to be an actor."—Such universality of genius, though no longer professed or required at the hands of the " great creatures of the great houses" — and, indeed considered in our fastidious times dero gatory to their dignity,—is one of the chief sources of attraction at the ADELPIII,—where we find a combination of talent that is really surprising where "each man in his turn plays many parts," and every thing is well played—from the mock heroics of " Billy Taylor," to the natural and pathetic ten derness of " The Sisters." " SENECA cannot be too heavy, nor PLAUTUS too light." —Notwithstanding the seriousness with which we endeavoured, last week, to dis cuss the merits of that " gay young fellow," and to inspire his modest representative, Join; REEVE, with a consciousness of his own tragic powers, critical justice compels us to declare, that though " Billy Taylor" maintains all his popularity, Mister REEVE has lost some what of that sentimental sadness—that inexpressible iden tity with the hero which constituted his chief e7:cellencJ. Flushed with success, he smiles when he should look sad —laughs when he should sigh—defies the encore even of the Gods, and substitutes a growling thorough-bass, for those tender tones, that so captivated his hearers when first " Like flakes of feathered mew They melted as they fen!"— We have now to notice a performance of a very differ ent character ; and in recording the perfect and un qualified success of " The Sisters, or the Brigands of Albano," to ascribe that success to the talent by which every scene was sustained, every incident wrought up to the height of intense excitement, and every situation rendered effective. Fillipo, the Brigand hero, displayed the melodramatic skill of Mr. 0. SMITH to the utmost advantage ; and impressed us with a conviction that had Nature been more bountiful to this deservedly favourite actor, in the quality of his voice, he might, ere this, have t aken rank amongst the best of our tragedians• Mr. YATES supported, with the happiest effect, Cuptain Au gustus Mignonette—a whimsical medley of the coxcomb, the soldier, and the sentimentalist, blending the frivolity of Cornet Count Carmine with the generosity of Va(conc. Mr. Be c KSTON E aims too much—at least for his own success—at peculiarity of style, which he must know can only be tolerated for the sake of peculiarity of talent. It has seldom been the lot of dramatists to succeed as actors, but Mr. BUCK STONE is yet new to the world in either capacity ; and if we did not think ho had merit we should, not take the pains of cautioning him not to suffer the favour he enjoys in the one respect, to abate his zeal in the other. His " Coco Cacklett, in "the Bold Dragoons," is incomparably a better performance than " Pippo Pop poloni" in " the Sisters ; and yet " Pippo" is by far the better part of the two. Serjeant Serpentin has but littie to do, and that little Mr. BENSON' Htt.t. slid well. We know few more assiduous performers, and his atten tion to the business of the stage is worthy the emulation of more experienced actors. Mrs. Fly z w ever excellent and Lumourous—rendered Lisette: ex tremely amusing : but the great and absorbing interest of the piece devolves upon " Tile Sisters," and admirably did they sustain it throughout. With every mental and personal qualification that can constitute a claim to professional distinction, it is beyond measure praiseworthy, to see so charming an actress as Mrs. YATES foregoing, in the midst of a successful ca reer, and in the full enjoyment of popular favour, the brilliant course in which she had but few competitors, to give all the aid and the attraction of her talents to her hus band's judicious and spirited enterprise. Her perform ance of the fond, the devoted Nina, was delightful ; no thing could be more innocently ingenuous—more full of generous and confiding tenderness, than her attar inient and devotion to Fillipo—nothing more natural or more affecting than her feverish anxiety, her .anguish which, in its v.ry excess, brought with it an appalling semblance of frenzied unconsciousness, as the hour of her doom ap proached ;—and then the womanly struggle between the love of life, and fear for her sister's safety, rendered the picture irresistibly touching and pathetic. Miss 1.) AI.Y, whom we had before seen only in comic diameters, played Maria, and exhibited talent of a higher order, and a deeper feeling, than we. had given her credit for. The scene in which she effects the deliverance of her sister, was admirable :—her own calm determination — the indifference with which she incurred every risk to save that sister—and the mingled gentleness and energy with which she excited her to make the effort that was to place her in safety, and the desperate yet soothing fond ness with which she kissed her forehead, as she encou raged her,—all were given with that fidelity to Nature, which is one of the most arduous accomplishments of art. The house was crowded, and the attention of the audience seemed rivetted to the incidents of the piece, which at it., close was louldly applauded. The scenery is as beautiful as imagination can fancy, or the eye delight to dwell upon. MADEMOISLLETENNY VERTPRE. One of the most agreeable actresses of the Theatre do Madame, Mademoiselle Janie Vernet, concluded, a few days since, her engagement at Marseilles. The last of her cheracteril was in the Actrice en Voyage. In this vaudeville there is a scene in which two performers converse upon new publications. Have you read Trilby? Are you acquainted with Smarra ? asks one I) 741ILLIS, of the daughter of M. lionassoxo. Al. DI Vase, as who played the latter, took up the subject a-p►opos, and said— " Have you real Waterloo—the admirable verses on Water loo?" Three salvos of applause followed the ingenious allusion made by the Actress. The audience instantly understood it was a compliment to Messieurs ?AMY and BARTIIBLIDIT, Au thors of the Poem► of " Waterloo," as both were horn at Mar seilles. No one felt grave and dissatisfied. with the t xception of NI. as Jot:pugs, the new Prefect of the 'touches du Rhone. Jealous of the honour of M. de BOIIIIMONT, he left his Lox, and ordered the Manager to produce the piece, for the purpose of seeing whether the guilty phrase could be fonnd. It could not, but the author had anticipated the thought of the actress, by the insertion of a note authorising her to name any work which might be most popular. The Prefect, disroncerted, entertained, for some m meats. the intention of giving our witty actress a night's lodging in prison. Fortunately, however, the functionary felt the ridicule and odium. which must follow such a measure, and did not take that course. The next day Miss Jaime Venetia received an order to appear at the Prefecture. She replied that in using the name Waterloo epos the stage. she had no intention to do more than render homage to talent, and had merely adopted the idea of the author of the piece. She added that she was not in the least angry with the Prefect.—hi. Jonsson, very much displeased, threatened to write to the super intendent of the beaux-arts, at Paris ; to M. Porno* ; to NI. Hounslow? himself; and, in shurt, to interdict the future appear ance of Miss JENNY at the Theatre of Madame. We doubt whether the Prefect can realize his projects of vengeance. He will only obtain the ridicule which falls upon unnecessary rage, and great measures occasioned by frivolous causes.—Cerutifutiortnef. As the new Opera at Covent-garden last night, called M The Night before the Wedding and the Wedding Night," had s Bishop to furnish the music, and a Dean to take the principal parr, no doubt the marriage ceremony was well performed. By letters from the British fleet in the Mediterranean, to the 19th of September, we learn that the Dey of Algiers has solemnly declared that he knew nothing of the firing into the French man-of-war, La Provence, (which entered the harbour with a flag of truce); and, because he has dismissed the Minister of Marine and some artillery officers, he expects the French to be lieve him ; but the latter are in high dudgeon at the treachery of the Dey and the humiliation of their flag, which is daily braved by this insignificant corsair. The French should imitate the dashing spirit and firm reso lution of Lord EX MOUTH, if they wished to impress these barbarians with respect for their power. British influence is predominant at Algiers, Tunis. and Tripoli. At the latter place a hot search had been made for the late Major LA ING'S papers, which had been traced front Timbuctoo to the hands of the French Consul-General at Tripoli. The 'labium had assisted Mr. W A ARINGTON, the English Consul, in his endeavours to regain these valuable papers, but the Frenchman bad struck his flag, and left Tripoli in an Austrian brig. The American Con sul is also in disgrace for the p rt he had taken in this affair with the French Consul, and has also left Tripoli ; but the Republican flag is still fiyiug. The Bashaw has written to the Governments of France and America com plaining in severe terms of the conduct of the Consuls ; and the papers of our lamented traveller having been clearly traced to the hands of the French authority, it is expected that the British Government will require thews to be given up.
