'QUARTER *SSIONS. KINGSTON, 00..18. This being the day appointed by the Magistrates tier. Licensing the different Tbeatresin their diatricty the follow* applications were made and disposed of:— The first application was made on the part of the proprietdrs of Asetar's Dewiest, when the License war granted to Mrs. Astley, the three Miss Gills, Mr. J. West, and Andrew Ducrow ; that of the &JULIET to Mr. James Dunn, the late proprietor of the Royalty. Comma Tnaarat—Upon an application being made for the re iweval of the license, Mr. }kW, Sosuan condemned the produc tion of certain pieces at this and other Theatres, which tended to disaffection, and a laxity of morals; he alluded more particularly to a production entitled Gorge the Third, and the Mertfordsfre Murder; nor would he unction the granting of tht License, until he had received a solemn pledge that such pieces, so revolting to nature, should not again be produced. Mr. Davidge pledged that nothing immoral to the public interest should be introduced. The Court then granted the License: VAUXHALL GARHINS--AppliCatiOD was made by Mr. Thessiger, on the part of the proprietors of these Gardens, (Messrs. Gye and Hughes,) when he was informed that the Bench had been Memo rialized to prevent fireworks and dancing. A long conversation .ensued between several of the Magistrates and Mr. Gye. The Maxim-aces, among whom were Mr. JACKSON Mr. Buenos, Mr. Senses, Mr. }hoots Mr. Emus'', and Mr . l Sumatra, were anxious to obtain a ple dge: from Mr. Gye, that the dark walks should be well lighted—that the fire-works should be let off at 11 instead of i 2 o'clock—and that dancing in the gardens by improper women and other disorderly persons should not be permitted. Mr. Gye, on his part, declared his readiness to adhere to the first sug gestion, but strongly insisted that the second (changing the hour of the bre-works), would be destructive of an establishment in which he bad embarked an immense capital ; as to the third, he had no 'objection, and the proprietors would do all is their power to pre vent it. At length, the4e three points were moved in form by Mr. P.seemsa, as the conditions without which the license would not be granted. Mr. Gye having made another but ineffectual stand against the second point, gave it up, and on these condition s th e license was granted. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. Last night a new Comedy was produced at this Theatre, under the title of The Green Room. The 'characters were as follow: Sir Peregrine Quixote . . Mr. W. Pamirs. Torrid . . . . . Mr. C. Kamm'. Starling . • . Mr. Powss.. Wilma . . . Mr. BARTLEY. • • Sebright . . . Mr. Jones. Musters . . . • Mr. CMAPMAIL Sims . ' . • Mr. RYALS. Emily Musters . . . Miii M. Gums.. ... .. Dirs..Walker Mrs. Carmine • . N; rs. WISTON. Mrs. Gloss. The name of the Comedy conveys almost its entire substance, being completely an expose of the concerns 'of a Theatre; and indeed the author, Mr. KENNY, has :not at all overrated the " secrets of the prison-house." The plot is extremely simple, being merely the adven tures of a theatrical party inside the walls of a Country Theatre, consisting of the Manager, the Author, prin cipal Comedian, principal Tragedian, and the rest of the Coips Dramatipie. ibrrid is the author of a new `Comedy accepted by the Manager; the parts are cast, and - assigned to their respective supporters. In the `midst of the Author's hopes, and when he is anticipat ing the glorious results of crowded houses and rich 'receipts, most of the performers become dissatisfied with their parts, and are 'continually tormenting him to alter them. Starling wants an entire new Act, and &bright asks for a new - comic song, in which I.e is 'to irrutate an Irishman, a Scotchman, a Yorkshire ,'man, a Cockney, and a variety of other characters.— The Author becomes highly incensed, and finally re-, solves to withdraw leis piece. The Manager, however, who has announced the new comedy, contrives to make matters up, and the disap'poin'ted author is once again delighted by the agreeable intelligence that the comedy is to by performed. torrid has a friend in the Mania ,ger's beautiful daughter, who contrives to do her best for him—the piece is performed, and is iticcessful.— There are a variety of other characters, which are neces sarily introduced for the purpose of infusing spirit and `humour. Sir Peregrine Quixote is a Knight, of a to 'mantic 'disposition, who has fallen in hive with Mrs. 'Carmine, an actress, under a mistake that she was a :widow of character and respectability. The deceit practised by Mrs. Carmine, in the pursuit of her in trigue, and the consequent eMbarrassinent of Sir Pere grime, on finding out the truth, forded great scope for comic effect, and was highly amusing. There is also -another character, IFilmott, who is guardian of Miss Emily Musters, the Manager's daughter ; he has just arrived with a fortune of ten thousand pounds for her, from a distant relatkn. Wilutott is particularly struck with theatricals, and with a view to the indulgence of his fancy, assumes the part of a Newspaper Critic, in which he developes :he trickery of the if Green-room" with admirable eclat. In the end Wilmot: discovers 'himself, and joins the hand of the poor author to that of the heiress, and all parties are made happy. Tr fling as the materials of the drama were, in the lands of such actors as C. KEMBLE, JONIS, and BARyo, LEY, they could not fail of being successful. KEsiar.l never pleased us more ; his acting in the scene repre senting the'Greei) Room of the Theatre, Avhilst his piece was undergoing the ordeal of public approbation on the, stage, was beyond all praise. It would alone have in sured the success of the piece. POiVER plays the stiff Tragedian Starling, and, from his studied manner and stately deportment, we have no hesitation in saying„ he imitated a Tragedian now crossing the Atlantic. The Piece wis received with 'considerable approba tion, and, notwithstanding several hard hits at the ,4 Hornets of the Press," it is likely to have a run. Sunday, then' Graces the Duke and Duchess of A HOYLE and Lady GIORGISA Paola, and suite, arrived at the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh. _ _ _ WESTMINSTER Seastosts.—Yesterday these Sessions commenced before Mr. Maltattar Chairman, (Mr. CONST being absent), and a full Bench of Magistrates. The only business proceeded on was the swearing in of the Grand Jury, and the constables for the several parishes of Westminster for the ensuing year. The,tread-mill has bean introduced into the House yif Correction at Cronach, in Bavaria. The criminals work eight minutes, and rest eight minutes. The Berlin Journalist gives a very animated description of the vaulted chamber, and the prisoners climbing the ever turning wheel, to which he can find no resemblance but in the Inferno of Dante.

Moscow, SErr. 11 (25), 11326.--Although three weeks have elapsd since the coronation, we are still in the midst of revelry and rejoicing, and fetes and balls follow one another in quick succession. There was one given lsbt night by our AmbAssador Extraordinary, the Duke of Devoishire, which, for splendour and effect, has surpassed all the others, and therefore I shall send you some account of it; The night was cloudy, and favourable to the advan , tageous display of the brilliant illumination which lightened up the side and front of the magnificent house where his Grace resides. So great was the blaze of light,' that the %hole of the dark horizon over a third of Mos cow was made visible, and this was produced without there being any overabundant quantity of lamps, for there were none too many. and all harmonized and con. tributed *to the general effect. Indeed this was the great merit of the who!e of the decorations and ornaments, both inside and out ; there was nothing too much—no-. 'thing overcharged; all was in keeping, if I may so speak, h , ici zs it should he. . - The west end of the house can be seen well from the Kremlin, and other elevated spots in the city, and this accordingly was the part most illuminated, and the initials of the King of England were placed in a con spicuous part of the building. On entering, and mounting the stair, the eye met, above the first landing-place, a well executed transpa rency, with the initials of the Emperor and Empress. Then, proceeding onwards, you found ranged in the anti-roods the upper servants of the Duke, in their rich state livery of blue and gold ; and on passing through them, you arrived at the door, from whence stood, in two irregular lines, all the attaches of the Embassy, leading up to his Grace, who, in a splendid uniform, stood there to receive his guests.' There was Marmont, in his Field Marshal's uniform, wearing sill his well merited orders and stars, with his Staff and Aides-de- Camp, in all the showy variety of the French uniform; the Prince of Hesse Homburg, the Austrian Ambassa dor Extraordinary, in the uniform of hiScountry. In short, the Representatives of all the Crowned Heads of Europe, with the American publican Minister, and the Envoys from Georgia, Persia, and other countries of the East, who, in their,Asiatic costumes, served to complete the variegated and brilliant assemblage. About nine o'clock notice was given of the approach of the Imperial Family, when his Grace, accompanied by all his suite, descended to receive them. The Emperor wore a scarlet uniform, the evening dress of the regiment of Chevaliers Glides ; the Empress (led in by the Duke), a robe of crimson-coloured silk, richly ornamented with diamonds and pearls : she had a necklace of diamonds, with a row across the shoulders, of superior size and beauty, most of them appearing half an inch in diame ter, while strings of them of inferior magnitude were entwined ,amongst her hair. Then came the Grand Duchess, with her husband, Michael, the brother of the Emperor: she was in white, with a great many gems set in diamonds, and had her usual arch look and play ful smile. The m2sic now struck up, and the Duke led the Empress itAa polonnaise, followed by the Emperor and all the most distinguished persons, through the suite of apartments into the ball-room. Here all was arranged with elegance and good taste.—This room, about sixty feet long, and fifty in breadth, was lighted up in the centre by some two or three hundred wax lights, placed in a single row, in a circular chandelier covered with roses, and suspended from the lofty ceiling with airy lightness, and almost by imperceptible means ; while round the sides, and in each corner, were chandeliers, giving forth a mass of light that was reflected from the walls, which were of a white colour, like polished amble. The eye rested with pleasure on the taste fully simple ornaments of these walls. On one side were the united initials of the Emperor and the Em press, formed by wreaths of red roses ; on the oppo site will was traced, in roses, the letter G. with the number IV. giving the initials of our own illustrious Sovereign; and On the third wall, the letters N. and A. detached, 'hewed the separate initials of the Imperial Visitors. A wide open space between columns led into an additional room. A temporary building, of which the sides were covered with a light red coloured dra pery intermingled with white, tastefully arranged, and lemmas of red roses over a white ground, ran round, and adorned the columns. At the extreme end from the ball room, yet distinctly visible from all parts, a recess was formed, where was placed a full length per• trait of the Emperor, in his Imperial Robes, painted by Dawe, the English Artist, and an excellent likeness.— The unexpected :sight of this picture was quite a coup de theatre. It was known to few that the Artist hid been employed by his Grace, and the Russian Nobility were wholly unprepared for the view of this portrait of their Czar, the first, and the only oae, they could see of him in his Impirial dress. Their surprise and admira tion was unbounded. a Quite gallanteri e fuel ion gout:" exclaimed the women ; while the adroit and respectful Courtiers expressed their approbation in tolerably audible whispers. Cettainly nothing could have been better imagined. It was the prettiest com pliment that could have been paid. Quadrilles and waltzes followed. In the former the Empress danced with the Duke of Devonshire, having for their sit-a-vis the Grand Duchess and Prince Charles of Prussia. Between twelve and one o'clock the supper romp was thrown open, a long and spacious gallery, where upwards of five hundred persons sat clown at once to supper. There were clime tows of tables, over which some thousand tapers shed a brilliant light, be sides a separate one, in the form of a cirscent, for the Imperial Family, with some of the first Ladies of the Court, and the principal Fo:eign Ambassadors. This table was placed on an elevation, a few feet above the level of the floor, at the end of the gallery, in a kind of alcove, richly and tastefully hung round t% it•t a drapery of crimson and green coloured silks. From her seat, at the centre, the Emptess could command a view of all the other tables, with their decorations, and the superbly dressed persons seated there, in long and beautiful pe,. spective. The most magnificent part of these decorations, assutedly, was the gold and silver plate belonging to his Grace, which, for massiveness and beauty, is here alto. gether unrivalled. The Russians were particularly struck wi:h this patrician treasure, as the accumulated wealth of several generations. It is needless to say, that the supper was all that could be wished, offering in profusion every thing that could please the eye and tempt the appetite, with all kinds of wide in unlimited abundance. The Emperor himself never sits down to supper,. aqd he stood near the table of the Empress, conversing in the most affable and familiar manner with those about him. The Duke of Devonshire, with his attaches, also stood all the time. After this splendid entertainment, the dancing re commenced with fresh spirit, and the Emperor and Empress did not depart till -three in the morning. The Grand Duke Michael and the Grand Duchess remained half an hour later. At five o'clock, a second supper, or rather breakfast, was served; even after which, I under stand, the unwearied votaries renewed the dance, Prince Charles, with his vivacity and amiability, being the chief promoter; and the gay revels did not close till Itearly seven this morning. Besides the aitachis nt the Duke's Enthissy, Lord Morpeth, Lord W. Russell, Mr. Fane, Mr. Grosvenor, Mr. Townsbend, Cap tain Clifford, R.N. Mr. Cavendish, and Sir Alexander Mallet; there were present of our countrymen, Mr. Dishrriwe, with Mr. Jerning. ham, and Mr. Kennedy, and the Lord Vilcoant Stormont, Lord William Montague, Honourable Mr. Talbot, two Generals, Sir P. Belson and Swaine, with four °rifler more Englishmen, of whom I chanced to be one. There was one of the Duke's suite, the Hog. Robert l).indas, who, although recovering fast from a severe illness, /as not ye•t strong enough, it appeared, to join in the festivity. The politician should approve of this fete, fat it was admirably well cakukted to please and gratify the Russians, and they are loud and unanimous in its praise. It was much superior to anything of the kind given at Paris, after the French Coronation; for we bad byre such a variety of costume and splendid uniforms among the men, and such a prodigious display of diamonds, precious stones, and elegant dresses among the Ladies, that tire Parisians were as suredly outdone. SPORTING INTETZIGENCE. NEWM ARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. NEVADA MEET, WEDNESDAY. In the course of the morning we have had some new arrivals, amongst whom is Le Comte Gustave Batthyany and several other foreigners of distinction, attracted by the reptation of the New. market races.

PIGEON SHOOTING. A pigeon shooting match took place lately in the neighbourhood of Fingask, near the mouth of the river Erne, when specimens of skill were exhibited which completely eclipse anything we have ever beard, even of Lord Kennedy. The arair—which was of the na ture of a milk—was got up by a person who bad a gun to dispose of, valued at fifteen guineas. Tickets were sold at 121. each, which entitled the bolder to seven shots ; end nearly twenty tickets were I disposed of. Amongst the promiscuous assemblage at the match, were to be seen the v.eteran sportsman, calculating with confidence on the result of his experience, and the inexperienced stripling, con tent to spend his 12s. for a little amusement, without venturing to anticipate any higher result. But on this occasion Fortune had de. termined to defeat the calculation and cupidity of the adepts. Dun can Menzies, a lad about 17, the son of Mr. blenzies of the Star Hotel, Perth, dropped the whole of his seven birds within the mark; ana the only sportsman who came near him was another stripling— William Chalmers, at Rich°. The remaining shots it is unnecessary to particularize. ome of the sportsmen missed the whole seven shotc—Dundee Advertiser. FlRRS.—Yesterday morning a fire broke out upon the premises of Mr. Greenaway, who keeps an eating. . house opposite the Barracks, at Knightsbridge. It was discovered by a Gentleman and Lady, who were passing in a gig, and who immediately gave notice at the engine house. The fire commenced in Mr. G.'s shop, and at ene time it raged so violently that considerable fears were entertained for the safety of the King's Head public house, next door. Too much praise cannot be given to the alacrity of the Life Guardsmen, who quitted the Barracks to assist on the occasion ; and about six o'clock the fire was so completely got under as to allay all apprehensions of further danger.—At about twelve o'clock last night, a fire was discovered in the house of Mr. Gill , bookseller and stationer, No. 4, Westminster. road, which, at one time, assumed a very threatening aspect. By means of six or seven engines, several of them exceedingly powerful, and an ample supply of water, the fire was confined to the house in which it 'first broke out, which, however, was completely burnt. THE ARMY. Three large detachments of Irish recruits arrived in tows Ivan day morning, from Bristol, on route tacjoin their Respective Corps and Depots. A detachment belonging ,so the 90th Regiment of Infantry embarked on Tuesday evening, on board a canal boat, at Paddington, for Liverpool, on route to join the Depot of that Corps at the Isle of ;Han. inialnasznaapi THE MURDERS NE EATHERHEAD. At one o'clock yesterday, witile the sitting Magistrate at Union-hall Police•othce was occupied in hearing night charges, a consideiable noise and bustle was heard in the passages outside, and upon the Chief Clerk (Mr. Staples) sending out a messenger to ascertain the cause, it was then announced that it arose in consequence of the crowd that followed a man in custody, an suspicion of having bees concerned in the late murders near Leather. head, while conveying him through the streets. The Magistrate, J. S. Cerawin.r., Esq. directed the individual who made the self accusation to be immediately brought forward. The entrance into the slip where all criminals are placed for examination was thrown open, and the pri soner, who was well guarded by at' least half a dozen constables and watchmen, who had conducted him from the watch-house near the Foundling Hospit,4l, l was then placed in it. He gave his name John Cartwright. He was dressed in regimentals, and, from his appearance, seemed to have just arrived from a tropical climate. Mr. Cam:meta, (es the persons who had brought him up in em tody)—What cluitge have you to prefer against this man ? A man, named Harris, stepped forward, an d sa id t h at t h e pr i. inner ha d delivered himself up into his custody on the preceding night, s.iying chat he was the murderer of th e old man ' t ad w omen on Thursday night last. near Leatherhead. Mr. CALOWRLI, (to the witness)—Vial mast give a minute ac. count of the circumstances under which you took the prisoner Into custody. Harris then proceeded to state, that on the preceding night he went into the tap-room of the Swan, Little Ormond street, Queen-square, for the purpose of taking his pint of porter, The man in custody was there also drinking beer. When witness entered there was nothing said by anybody there on the subject of the late mur ders; but when the company had withdrawn, leaving him and Cartwright together in the room, the latter said, addressing him in a very mysterious manner, " I say, master, would you like to earn 100 guineas without much trouble ?" 16 Yes," said I, " It would be very ac ceptable if I could do so in an honest way." To this Cartwright said, for he told me his name, that it could be done in an honest way. He then said, a I suppose you have heard of the murder of John Akehurst and his housekeeper, Elizabeth Haines, that took place on Thursday tlight at Fetcham?" I replied in•the af f irmative; and making some remarks on the atrocity of the offence, concluded, by expressing my sincere hope that the horri ble miscreants would soon be in the hands of justice. Cartwright listened to my remarks, and when I had finished, he exclaimed, with all the apparent earnestness imaginable," then I am the murderer!" Surely, said I, you are not the guilty person ? " Yes, but I am," said he, " and if you don't take me into custody I shall de liver myself op to the-next watch-house Harris then regretted that he had sat so long in his compnny, wheo Cartwright decl +red that his mind had been in such a desperate state of torture and anxiety eves. since be had imbrued his has is in the blood of his fellow -creatures, that he never had a ra , ment's happiness; and if he was not immediately apprehended, he should lay Trio. lent hands upon himself. Harris then alluded to Mrs. Donatty's murder, observing that several persons had resigned themselves into custody who were afterwards discovered to have had no hand in it ; perhaps, added he to Cartwright, you want to play thesame trick ? No, replied Cartwright, the accusation that I have made against myself is too true. He then supplicated to be taken into custody; and Harris, really believing all he had confessed t 3 be true, accordingly took him away to the watch-house, and lodged him there at his own de sire, on the charge of having committed the murders. On the 'conclusion of the above extraordinary statemest,the Ma gistrate asked whether Cartwright was intoxicated at the time? Harris replied, that be was not drunk, but he might have been a little in liquor. 1k seemed, however. to have all his stases about him, added Harris. Lawrence, a watchman, who was one of the party who assisted in conveying Cartwright to the watch house, on his own canfession, said, that he had all the appearance of having been guilty of the murders last night, for on his way to the watch-house he frequently broke out into the following exclamation Oh, wretched man that I am, I shall never be happy at this side of the grave! Why did I murder the poor old in nocent and helpless couple ! Oh, who can tell my feel ings at this present moment !" In fact ) said the watch ' man, he presented such a picture of despair and agonised feelings, that anybody who saw him last night would have sworn that he was the murderer. Newcomb, one of the officets of the establishment, was desired to examine Cartwright's clothes, in order to tee whether there were any marks of blood open them. Tne search accordingly took place, and the officer re ported that there was blood upon the sleeve of his shirt. The constable of the watch-house where Cartwright was confined all night, said that his conduct while there was more like that of a person who had committed some dreadful crime than a mind at ease. He did not appear to be intoxicated; and, during the night ) frequently ejaculated that he was a murderer. Mr. CALDWELL. now asked Cartwright what be had to say en the subject of the atrocious offences which be had confessed himself to have perpetrated ? When the Magistrate addressed Cartwright for the explanation he had to offer, all eyes in the office were directed to the latter, when Cartwright began thus : " Your Honour, I am an ora soldier, and have served my Bing and my country at home and abroad for the last twenty-five years. I have never committed a murder in my life, except murdering the enemies of my c o untr y i n t h e fi e ld o f bat tle. Your Honour, the truth is, I have la te ly b een h ome f rom I n di a , and passed the Bond at Chelsea on Wednesday, on which day I received my pen ' sign and prize -money. Having my pockets pretty well lined rhino, I set out to have a little pleasure in town, and happened to stray into the neighbourhood of St. Giks's, where I picked up with a young lass, and went with her to a house kept by a woman, I think they call her Mother Cummins, situate in George-street, St. Giles's. (Here Cartwright observed, that he wished to be parti cular to give the most minute account of his time and his actions Mice he had passed the Board.) He proceeded—" On Wednesday night last, I slept at the Blue Posts public-house, in Monmouth. street; on Thursday night I slept at Mother Cummins's, and every night since that, with the exception of last`night, when I sat up in the watch-house. I took up my quarters at the Blue Posts." Mr. Cetus/I'LL—How came you to state that you were the per who committed the murders at Leatherhead Cartwright—Your Honour, I don't deny what those Gentlesun have been telling yon; but, to tell you the truth, I don't recollect one single syllable of the matter. Ever since I received my prise money I have been mugging myself with drink, and having met with an accident in my head when en service abroad, the misfor tune is, that when I happen to take a little more drink than dies me good, I am more like a madman than a rational being. Harris, the man into whose custody he delivered him self up, could not help expressing his surprise at the variation in Cartwright's story since the preceding night. The Magistrate was extremely indignant at the con duct of the soldier, and directed him to be taken over Ito the house in St. Giks's a where he asserted he had ... -+r~
