ANECDOTES OF GARRICK, &c. FROM 0 9 10ERV/F.'S RICOLLECTIONS. "In this year I saw Captain IiowATRIL play Archer, in The New Stratagem. He was the best private actor I ever witnessed ; but admiration and applause turned his brain. One night, at Crow street,• during the performance of Celsius, Mrs. CRAWFORD (the Lady) in the enchanted chair, Captain 13uwavaa, one of the amateur idlers behind the scenes, walked in upon the stage, leaned on the hack of her chair, and began an easy conversation vith her, to her confusion and the wonder of the audience. A few minutes after, meeting me in the given-room, be told me he had just received a fine present from London, from GA nowt —a coat richly embroi dered with ;oinked Wei to act in the character of Archer! There. Mr. O'Kerrre! there's a bong Stratagem for you!' He actually went mad, and died so. He had been page to a Lord Lieutenant ; was very handronse—a Roman nose, smaltmouth, lively eyes—but bad a stoop when acting." "On one of the Koo's nights at Drury-lane, the Lords being about behind the scenes, in and out of the green-room, Sm. as cus tomary, GARRICE said to a Nobleman near him, who was soon to go over to Ireland as Lord Lieutenant—' My Lord, here's a young spark so plagues us behind the atlenes, night after night, always troublesome, I wish you would take him with you over to your Ireland, or any where out of our way.' The Nobleman took the goodnatured hint—spoke to the play-loving youth, who was loiter ing near them, and gave him a handsome appointment in Dublin Cantle.—This is one of the many instances of GAZILICIeS seising every opportunity to do a good action. The youth was Captain Jemmy, author of Braganza, the Law e Lombardy, itc."—Nou liamehly Magazine. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Lord Lowraxit's Bill, to place the turnpike trust within ten miles of the metropolis under a general and improved system, has been taken out of the usual course and is referred to a Committee above stairs ; to afford an • the parties likely to be affected by the measure the opportunity of being heard by themselves, or Counsel, and witnesses. The renters of the trusts have chiefly effected this change. Few of our readers are awate of the great attraction in the name of as Dunelm it is the immense lay pa tronage attached to it. The Bishop of Durham has been from time immemorial a temporal sovereign, having the power of conferring the honour of knighthood ; he acts as Lord Lieutenant of the county palatine of Dur ham, with the title of Earl of Sadburgh ; is Sheriff paramount, and exercises the loyal prerogative of ap pointing the acting Sheriff ; is Commander of the Forces and Admiral of the Fleet within his jurisdiction ; is a Judge, with the power of life and death, taking the pre cedency of all the King's Justices ; holds a baronial court, and is attended by a suitable retinue. The pre ceding is but a short enumeration of the temporalities of out English Lord Bishop. In the Court of Chancery, on Saturday, the Loan CriAncaLkoa, in deciding a motion in the case of ]lraham v. Strathmore, stated, that at the time the An nuity Act, 17th Gco UI. was passed to protect the sons of men of fortune from the extortion of money-lenders, in the height of their indignation against transactions of that description, the Legislature went into the opposite ex treme, and consequently that act had worked much greater iniquity than it had cured. For years after it had pissed, no too courts of law could agree as to the meaning of it, He (the Lord Chancellor) remembered . being engaged as counsel in the House of Lords, when, kt the course of his argument, he addressed Lord EDS , LYN as the framer of that act. As soon as he con visaed, Lord Rosman came down to the bar, and m asted him that he had not any thing to do with the (ranting of the act, but that Lord KIDIVON was the author of it. He (the Lord Chancellor) would not say in what manner Lord Kenioe had afterwards repu diated this imputation; but, down to the present hour, it was not known who was he author of the Annuity Act. Trie Jesuirs.—Some of the French Papers contain a curious account of a trial, which lately took place at St. Omer, respecting a legacy which a novice of the suppressed society of the Jesuits bequeathed, in 1821, to trustees, for the benefit of that order. M. Lupine, the testator, who died at St. Omer, in July, 1821, at the advanced age of 88, left to several relations .bearing his own name, very insignificant sums, while he devised by his will the bulk of his property, amouut ing to more than 30,000 francs, to a M. L his executor. "to be disposed of according to his will previously made known to him without rendering any account of the same." That previously settled destination of the property *was to the Jesuits. Howevcr singular this testament appealed, the relations of the deceased at first acquiesced in is, but hearing afterwards that the property which ought to have come to their hands was going !o the support of a society formerly suppressed by royal authority, and still prohibited by the existing laws, they appedled against the execution of the will to the Royal Court of Douay. The suit began above two fears ago; and t h e C ourt o n the 29th ult. decided in avour of the heir of the deceased, and made void his will in favour of the Jesuits, who being banished from the kingdom in 1764, and not since restored, were inca pable of profiting by such liberality. Mr. Thomas River., timber-merchant, of Farnham, expired on Wednesday last, in consequence of the in juries he received by the overturning of the Dorking coacb t at Ewell, on the Saturday preceding. OLD BAILEY. Amur. 11. Thomas .Thato, a man of respectable appearance, about , twenty-five years of age, was capitally indicted for stealing thirty-five live sheep, the pioperty of M r . Wells, a farmer residing at Shenly-park, Hertfordshire It appeared in evidence. that, on the 16th of Februiry, one hundred and fifty-five sheep were in the prosecu tor's field—they were marked, and on the following Saturday forty three or them sere missing. Dalton, an officer, searched the prisoner's stables, in Warren mews, Fitzrorsquare, on Saturday, the 18th of February, and found thirty-three of the sheep alive and eleven plucks, two butchers' knives, &c. He sub.e quently discovered a hone and cart belonging to the prisoner, which was greasy and bloody, and appeared to have been recently useJ in removing carcasses and fat. The Horse was very fatigued. A boy proved that the prisoner went out with his cult on the Friday even ing. For the defence it was alleged that the stable did not belong to the prisoner; and two females swore to an alibi; but, notwithstanding, the Jury foutsd the pri soner. Guilty. The Jury and prosecutor joined in re commending the prisoner to mercy. John Price was indicted for committing a burglary in the house of Mr. Thomas Goldsmith, in King-street, Soho-square, on the night of the 24th Febtuary, and stealing a hundred and fifty-five tortoise-shell combs, and other property. The evidence against the prisoner was, that he offered the stolen property for sale to a person named Guest, a halt-dresser, in Bear street, Leicester-square ' who gave notice to the police, and had the prisoner taken into custody. The defence was an &ik. The Jury . found the prisoner M 4 Guilty. A Second indictment was tried, charging the prisoner with stealing a gold ring, value 30s. in the shop of Mr. Pearl, a jeweller in Burlington Arcade.—The prisoner was employed by the prosecutor to repair the gas-pipes in his shop, and he had access to the show glass where the ring was deposited. When Cousins, the constable, apprehended the prisoner, he found the ring in question in his possession, and he said he brought it from France. The prisoner addressed the Jury at some length, and denied that be ever said he brought it from France; the fact was, he found it at the Italian Opera House. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Thomas Rawlins, John Pritchard, and Catherine Do novan, were placed at the bar, on an indictment for robbing a person, named Charles Tanner, of a watch and other articles. The prosecutor, on Easter Tuesday last, had been enjoying the holiday time with some friends in the. City, and about twelve o'clock at night he bent his steps homewards. He had reached Oxford street, when he was accosted by the female prisoner with certain amatory proposals. The state of Mr. Tan ner's mind was such as to induce his acceptance of her politeness, and accordingly they adjourned to the fair une's domicile, in Bambridge-street, St. Giles's. A con versation then commenced, as to the amount of remu neration to be bestowed on her by her swain. Mr. Tan ner did not wish to let it appear where his money was kept, and therefore deferred a decision as to the amount of remuneration, until the next morning. The Lady became impatient, and called for assistance. The two male prisoners then entered at the window, and heaped a. vast number of threats on Mr. T. that unless he would satisfy the Lady they would force him. The female prisoner seized the poker, and added to the threats of the other two, that she would smash his skull. Mr. Tanner still refused. They seized his waistcoat, then on the table, and potting out the candle, ran down stairs. The assistance of the watchman was then pro cured, and the prisoners apprehended in a house in the same street. On the stairs of the second house wasfound the prosecutor's handkerchief, and in the room where the apprehension took place was his waistcoat. The prosecutor also missed his watch, but no trace could be found of it.—The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Serjeant ARA= intimated to the prisoners that they would certainly be sent out of the country for seven years. George Lake, John Jones, and John Crutchman, were indicted for stealing a considerable quantity of sugar, the property of Messrs. Richard Bailey, and Co.— John Smith, who is employei at the West India Docks, stated, that he was passing through Newgate-street on the night of the 10th of March, when he saw a wagon, containing a hogshead of sugar. driven by the prisoner Lake; the prisoner Crutchman was in conversation with him; and after going a short distance, the former got into the waggon ' • and endeavoured to remove the hogshead, but he could not, and he get out again. At the corner of Fleet-market James joined them, and the three prisoners proceeded with the waggon along the East side of Fleet-market, when Crutchman got in again, and concealed himself under a tarpaulin. The witness beard a noise, like the striking of a hammer against the bead of the cask. The waggon was after wards driven along the west side of Fleet-market, in the centre of which Crutchman got out. The hogshead was afterwards delivered at the shop of Mr. Blenco, Holborn-bridge, and on being weighed it was found eighty pounds deficient. The tin which was nailed over the bung hole at the head of thecask, appeared to have been raised up and renailed.—The prisoners denied any participation in the felony; they received a good cha racter from a number of witnesses. The Jury found them Guilty. and the Judge ordered them to be transported for seven years. (,harks Thorne, aged 22, a young man of respect able appearance and connections, was put to the bar on a capital indictment, charging him with stealing five hundred yards of lace. six hnndred yards of riband, and - a great variety of other articles of great aggregate value, the property of Henry Lawman and Richard Hodge, his employers, in their dwelling-house. Mr. BRODRICK stated the case for the prosecution, and detailed the facts, which were afterwards proved in evidence, but the Learned Gentleman observed, that although the property stolen was of great amount, yet separately there did not appear to be an individual article of the value of 40s. Whatever the natural pre tetruption was, the law in its hum ani:y supposed divi sible articles might be taken at ddierent periods. Upon this consideration. the Learned Gentleman said, the Jury might lose the sight of the capital part of the charge in the indictment. Two witnesses spoke to the prisoner's previous cha racter, and he said that be could have produced a great many more, but for the early hour his trial was brought on. The prosecutor acknowledged that his character bad been pre viously pod, and gave bins every benefit which would arise from that testimony. The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and then returned a verdict of—Guilty of stealing to the amount of 395. - ibis acquitted the prisoner of the capital part of the charge. Mr. Serjeant Amamw told the prisoner that he had narrowly weaved with his life, bat be must not expect to remain in this coun try, for at the end of the Sessions he would be sentenced to four teen years transportation. John irheaflyy, aged 35. was indicted for marrying Elizabeth Ann Rogers, his former wife, Elizabeth, being then living. Henry Faded stated. that the prisoner was matrie, l to his sister, Elizabeth Felsted, in 1809, at St. Olave's. Southwatk. Witness was present at the nuptials: his sister wits a servant at the time, and the prisoner a shoemaker. They lived together for six months, when his sister was obliged to leave the prisoner in conse quence of his brutal conduct. She died last July. Cross-examined by Mr. C. Putt ties. —His sister charged her name to " Groves," and lived with a Mr. Groves for seven years. She took his name, and lived as man and wife. The prosecutriz, an interesting young woman, named Elizabeth Ann Rogers, stated that she was married to the prisoner in 1823: she was then a servant without fortune. Ile used her very ill, and she heard he had another wife, upon which account a stigma was cast upon her character. Crins.ezamined—Sbe never remembered that he went to Wor ship.street to inquire whether be could marry again. The prisoner always said his former wife was dead. James Lee produced an attested copy of the register of the first marriage between the prisoner and his former wife, of which the following in a copy : " Jahn Wheatley. of the parish of St. (Nave, bachelor, and Eliza beth Felsted, of the same parish, spinster, were married by bans, on the 17th day of May,lBo9, By me, J. BLI NKA R NE,A. M . Cu rate." The certificate of the second marriage with the pro secutrix was also produced ; it ran thus : " John Wheatley, of this parish, bachelor, and Elizabeth Ann Rogers, of the same, spinster, were married by bans, this 20th day of Oct. 1825. By me, J. MAY NE, Curate of St. Matthew's, Bethnal green." The third certificate was also produced, which proved that Elizabeth, the first wife of the prisoner, was interred by the name of Eliz.beth Groves, in the year 1825, at the church of St. Marylabonne, by T.Wharton, minister. Mary Rogers, the mother of the prosecutriz, recol lected going to Worship-street with the prisoner. When accused of being formerly married, he acknowledged he had been, but that he had not seen his wife for nine years. The Magistrate was not then sitting, but his clerk said that the best plan would be to put an adver fitment in the Paper. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mary Creed, a little girl, 14 years of age, was in dicted for stealing two gowns, two shifts, and other article; value 11. the property of Thnmas Innell. The wife of the prosecutor stated, that she takes in mangling, and employed the prisoner co assist in turn ing her machine; she was so employed on the day of the robbery. It was proved by a pawnbroker in the vicinity of the prosecutor's residence cilia some of the, stolen property was offered in pledge to him on the day of the robbery. The prisoner put in the following novel written de fence, which we give per batins et literati»: : "To the IL H. my Lord Judge and Gentlemen of the Jury, Kest humbly sheweth that yr honor's pettioner is the descndant of " very honest parents, and contains the same in every"year in her own body, shim being accused at yr honors bar of justice for felony which she says she is innocent of, and die sd pettioner never before being accused of any such thing, she therefore prostrates and throws herself to your honors benevolent and hospitable hearts of mercy for to cemmissetate her juvenile adolesence by which comfort may be conveyed to yt• honors poor petitioner ",MARY CREED. " The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Learned Judge intinsated that oily a slight punishment would be inflicted. GEORGE HARRISON, Esq. late Assistant Secretary to the Tressory, has retired from office, and is succeeded by WILLIAM Hut., Esq. Chief of the Commissariat. TYWARNH A Lle MINING ASIOCI A TION.—A meeting of the above Company was held yesterday, at the Auction Mart, Rosen's. Jots NSTONE, Esq. in the Chair, when, after a conversation of considerable length, in the course of which the opinion of Counsel as to the liability of .the Directors to refund the monies committed to their charge was laid before the Meeting, and it was agreed that Mr. Ovattrota, an original shareholder, should prosecute the Directors for the amount of his deposit, with a view to settle the question of liability. The shareholders then entered into a subscription to defray the expense likely to be incurred in bringing an action against the Direc tors. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting adjourned. WRITMINSTIR ADJOURNED SlLESlONS.—Catherine Murphy was convicted of receiving three volumes of Captain Batty's Views in Switzerland, Pompeii, and Italy, the property of Mrs. Meyer, residing in Clarges. street, Piccadilly, whose premises were broken into on the 23d of February last, and robbed of property to a considerable amount. The prisoner was sentenced to six months' confinement is the House of Correction. An Inquest was held at the White Horse, Knights bridge, on the body of George Armstrong, aged twelve years. It appeared that the deceased, with his brother, aged fourteen, were employed to drive away the crows from the lands of Lady Fletcher, at Walton on Thames. The deceased had twice fired and his brother once, the piece was then loaded again, when the lock got en tangled with the eldest lad's round frock, accidentally went off, and the contents lodged in his brother's arm and side. He was conveyed to St. George's Hospital, and notwithstanding every attention, died on Friday last.— Verdict—Accidentally shot. Deodand ss. on the gun. By the Report of the general Vestry of the Township of Whitehaven, it appears that the average number of persons in the workhouse during the past year was 123, of whom 13 were pauper lodgers. The average weekly maintenance, exclusive of clothing, is ls. Sid. per head. The number of out door paupers at the commencement of the year was 224, and at the present they amount to 204. The expense amounted to 3,3201. and the funds appear to have been judiciously managed. There have been printed, by order of Parliament, de tails of the expenditure of 12,1681.—" For articles .for liberated Africans, and presents to Moorish Chiefs." The items are curious—showing at once the character of very partially civilized wants, and the estimation in which certain European or British goods are held. Thus, there were supplied, " 15,000 yards . of check, for shirts, for maks ;" " 8,000 yards blue or grey cloth, for males;' "5,000 pairs braces ;" "800 pick axes " 2,000 bill. hooks:" " 2,000 gimblets ;" many carrenters' saws ; ' 4 1,000 tailors' and girls' thimbles;" " 100 bodkins ;' "Soolbs. white thread ;" " 50,000 needles ;" and nu merous spoons, mason: chisels, shoemakers' tools, nails, tape, hat, 20,0001b5. yellow and mottled soap, &c. Last week, James Evans, whose recent acquittal at Lancaster excited so much attention, appeared at the New Bailey, Manchester, to put in bail to answer, at the next Sessions, to certain articles of the peace exhi ,bited against him by his wife at the last Sessions. He Wl5 held to bail, himself in 401. and too sureties (two of his relations) in 201. each. It is curious enough that nations should be distin guis':ed by so trifling a circumstance as the mode of using the tork at table. An Englishman is remarkable for placing his fork on the left side of his plate; the Frenchman is recognized at table by using the furk alone, without the knife; a German, by planting it per pendicularly in his plate; and A Russian by using it as 14 tuoth-pick ! POLICE INTELLIGF.NCE. HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday, Mary PiNcent. alias Mary Aso liammosi, a W 144 looking young girl, was Charged on suspie.on with the murder of so infant, apparently full grown. Mr. flails, who keeps a chandler's shop in the Colonade, at the rear of Brunswielt.square, deposed, that on Monday nywnitig taws young women, who lodged in the house, told hisn that tire pr issuer had been observed to take a bundle into the water-closet, and that she soon after returned without it. A boy, son to one of the 'fidgets, also spoke to the same elrect. and described the prisoner as having been in a state of rest agita tion. When he asked her what she had In the handle, her repty• was, " Oh, nothing at all ; but mind, that if my father should ask you, don't you aay that you saw me." The lad added, that the bundle was round, and about the dimensions of a new-horn infant. From these circumstances, Mr. Hall's suspicion ,was excited. and having procured a candle, and a pole with a hook at the end of it. he.examined the place, and drew up a black bundle, svhitit - contained the :body of a child, which he believed to have been strangled before it was thrown into the vault. He sent im mediately for a corstable ; and Mr. Bryant, a surgeon, of Cromer street, was called in to examine it. It proved to be a fine healthy female infant, evidently conic to maturity. From the apptaranee of the body, it seemed to have been there some days, and on Me left side of the neck there was a black streak, as If a cord had been drawn tightly around it. There were also some other marks of violence on the back and stomach, which might have been caused by striking against the side of the vault on i!s descent. Fagan, who apprehended the prisoner, said that the body had been removed to the Workhouse, to await the result of the Coro. tier's Inquest, which was to sit on Thursday, when it was expected further evidence would be produced, and the supposition wa4, that ;he prisoner had only taken the child there for another girl, with whom she was seen in company on the previous evening.—The prisoner was remanded for further examination till 31.mslay next. MARY-LA-BONNE. Yesterday, Messrs. Whittington and Langley, the overseers of Mary-la-bonne parish, attended at this office, to ask the advice of the Magistrates bow they should proceed in the following extraor dinary case: • Mr. Langley stated, that Wm. Seymour, and a young woman, who were present, attended at the workhouse, on Monday, Is tying in their possession an infant, not very neatly did, but of most health ful appearance, which they requested might be taken into the work house, as it had been deserted by its mother. On questioning Seymour he gave a very suspicious account of the manner itt which he had got possession of the child; and conceiving it to be proltable that he knew more of the mother than he felt disposed to colitvss, they had brought him to this office, in order that he might he sworn to his statement. Mr. Grurtints consented to this proposal, and Seymour was sworn. He stated that on Monday morning last, he was taking a walk with his brother, and a friend, and on passing though Duke•street, Manchester-square, they agreed to take some refresh ment, for which purpose they went into a public.fiouse in that street ; they bad not been there long, berme a young woman. of interesting appearance, with a child in her arms, entered the place, and took her seat In the corner of the parlour; witness was struck by her appearance, and observed to his brother, and friend, that she was " exceedingly pretty," and ventured to ititro duce himself to her notice, by commencing a conversation with her, in which she freely joined, and eventually he requested to know her address, which she gave " Crown-street Soho," and he off:red to see her home, which she accepted, and ;hey quitted the place rove tiler (leaving his brother and friend behind); they walked on as far as Adam and Eve Court, in Oxford -street, when she requested witneu to hold her child for a fry minutes, until she went into the shop of Mr. Dobree, the pawnbroker, at the corner of the Court, to pledge something, as she was in want of a few shillings ; he took the child, and was desired by the mother to walk up and down Adam and Eve Court, which he did for a short time, and then sat on the step of a door, where he remained for upwards of an hour and a half, but no mother came, and on going into Mr. Uobree's, be looked into the various boxes, but could not see her. He made every inquiry after her, but could trace no tidings whatever about , her, when a woman passing by took possession of the chili, and ac companied witness with it to the workhouse, where they refused to take it in, and which led to their appearance before the Magistrate. • Mr. Whittington (to Sernour)—Then, as you to ,lc possession of the child, you are bound to take care of it until you find t i c mother, there being no proof that this is its parish. Seymour—But I won't. It would be very bald upon me to rake care of a child I know nothing about, who was merely left with me to take care of for a short time. Mr. GAITFITHS-But you brought it all upon yourself in a most strange way, and you must take care of it until the mother as found. A poor woman here stepped forward, with the child hi her arms, and was very much affected. She stated, that on passing by Adam and Eve Court, she saw Seymour with the child, which few, from a motive of humanity, kept until then. Sie knew nothing of the mother, or any •of the parties. She was about to deliver the unfortunate i child to Seymour, who refused to receive it, " I cant support the child." The Overseers responded, " But you must—we'll not receive it," and all were about to quit the place, leaving it in the pn.ses►ion of the woman, who, in a bewil dered state, set the poor infant on the ground—who, lr ghtenesl at the noisy argument, continued crying, and deserted by all, the 'parish officers and the other individuals having left the place, when . . _ Mr. Gammas, who said he never heard of a more cxtraordimay case of the kind, on seeing the child thus abandoned, said, that the child could not be suffered to starve, and sent it with an officer to the Workhouse, until the case could be explained to the Board, and proper steps pursued to discover the unnatural mother. Several publicans were yesterday prosecuted by Johnson, the in. former, for serving during the hours of Divine Service, oniupday. They were each convicted in the penalty of forty shillings and coots. UNION-HALL A man named Cronen was charged with having robbed a young Lady of her reticule, containing money and a few articles of dress. The complainant, whose name is Mary Anne Lowe, stated that on Saturday evening last, between eight and nine o'clock, as she was proceeding home to Bermondsey, in passing the top of SA;it. bury-lane, which is a dark place, a man rushed out upon her, and snatched the reticule off her arm, to which it was suspended by a chain, which was broken by the violence used. She was alarmed at first, but upon looking round, and observing the prisoner running I down the lane, she followed, and succeeded in taking hold of the skirts of his coat, which she held firmly, notwithstanding the de,pr rate threats he uttered, and the exertions be made to get away.— Having repeatedly called fur help in vain, the fellow at length broke away from her, and continued his career down the lane, with the reticule in his hand, followed by the complainant, who raised the whole neighbouthood by her cries of "stop thief." The prisoner was in consequence followed by other persons, and ultimately se. cured, with the young lady's property in his possession, which was produced in Court, and both it and the . prisoner were identified by the complainant. The prisoner, who made no defence, was committed for trial. It is with pleasure we refer our Readers to an Ad vertisement in our first page. detailing a remarkable cunt lately performed by Mr. I.imscu's Awrisconsuvic Mors, which have been very succes%ful in eradicating ail the forms of Scrofulous and Scorbutic complaints. Such indeed is the high reputation they have deservedly attained in this neighbourhood at least, that no other Medicine is scarcely ever thought of for these complaints. BIRTH.
