The new Opera of Peueril of Me Peak was repeated last night. 6 The " Cherry Ripe" finale was left out, and a more appropriate tine substituted in its place. The change made all the difference between applause and opposition at the close of the Piece. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. We were extremely gratified last evening to find an elegant and crowded audience assembled within the walls of this Theatre. This was as it should be, and we hope that those talented Performers who so handsomely volunteered their able services on this occasion, Will have the satisfaction of knowing that their exertions have contri buted to produce a temporary sufficiency for the widow and family of their late brother, Mr. Cosixoa. The performances were as ex cellent as from the congregated host of talent the most sanguine coult7 expected them to be. ADELPHL The unabated attraction of the new Barletta, Luke the Labourer, continues to draw nightly the most crowded audiences at this little Theatre ; in spite of which, however, the Managers brought out last night a new Comic Ballet, to evince their anxiety to please the public. The Runaway; or, La Fills inal-gardee (such is the title of this Ballet), has been already perfot med at Vauxhall ; we need only add that it was received with great applause. A Pas Sent, executed in a must finished style by th e I f illiputian SULAM DUVAL ; and a Pas de Deus, by the Misses MiHYPIIIT and Kase, were loudly and deservedly applauded. The house was literally crimmed. -THE ARMY.

Many vessels were reported to be in dif terent harbours in Norway, bound to Briti+b ports. 'MEETING OF THEARIGNA IRON AND COAL COMPANY. A Meeting of the'Shareholders took place yesterday, at the King's Head Tavern, Poultry. Shortly after twelve o'clock Mr. Bait was calleFl to the Chair, and said, that he hoped nothing would take place this day to mar the harmony of their proceedings. Mr. ENGLISH read the advertisement by which the Meeting was called, stating its object, which was, to take into consideration the legality of the election of certain Gentlemen as Directors and Auditors of the Company. The advertisement was signed by twenty Shareholders. The proceedings of the last meeting were then read, and during which a Shareholder inquired, if during the absence of the Secretary of the Company, any person was taking minutes of the present Meeting The CHAIRMAN said, that it was not intended to have the proceedings of the last approved at the present Meeting, that could only be done at the regular Half yearly Meeting of the Company ; they *ere only read for the information of the Gentlemen present. Mr. Palmas moved a Resolution, confirming the election of B. C. Cato, Esq. It. lichens, R. Hills, W. Frampton, J. Moxan, C. Herley, G. H. Barrow, G. Fox, Fags. as Directors; and R. E. Pritchard and H. Gooch, Esq. as Auditors of the Company. Mr. J. G. DENMAN protested against the Resolution that had been read ; if those proceedings were legal, what occasion was there for calling the present Meeting to confirm them? The Shareholders then proceeded to ballot, when the Cualastatt said that the result was 119 •otes in favour of the Resolution, without one dissentient. Thanks were then voted to the Cuatawax, and the Meeting dis persed. LITERATURE. This bas been called the golden age of Literature, and for a few writers the expression has some meaning; but afflicting instances continue to occur, which prove that the most sterling abilities, although united with taste and honourable industry, do not always secure to their possessors not only a wealthy provision, but an in dependent competency. These instances are.the more painful when they involve age, as well as talent, and we see the veteran thrown back upon the world, at the very time when comfort and repose should attend his de clining years. We have been induced to make these observations in consequence of a Prospectus, which announces that the friends of a Gentleman, advanta geously known in the literary and political world, Mr. TAYLOR, the founder, and, till within a year, the pro prietor and Editor o f the Sun Newspaper, propose to publish a volume of his Poems by subscription, and ' solicit the patronage of the public in consequence of unexpected and undeserved calamities by which he has been overtaken. When it is recollected that Mr. TAYLOR is the author of that popular Tale, from which has sprung one of our most popular afterpieces, Monsieur Tonto'', and of almost every clever Prologue or Epi logue spoken at either Theatre during the last 30 years, his claim to public support as a literary man must be universally acknowledged. When it is known that at a more advanced age, we believe, than 70, calamities not of hii own seeking have reduced him to begin the world again, the appeal of his friends must prove irre sistible. The Work will consist of Selections from Mr. TAYLOR'Sformer volumes and many ofhis later produc tions, comprising Sonnets, Odes, Prologues, and Epi logues, occasional Miscellaneous Effusions, Tales, &c. and an entire new version of the Odes of Anacreon. The Gibraltar Papers contain a Proclamation of the Governor, dated the 23d ult. stating, that vessels are reported to be fitted-out there under foreign Bags to carry on the Slave Trade. The Governor warns all persons against the consequences of direct or indirect encouragement of this abominable traffic. Talma's funeral took place on Saturday morning. The car was attended by his relations and friends, wed almost all the men of letters, and artists in the metro polis. The body as conveyed from his house to the church -yard of Pete la Chaise, and committed to the ground without any burial service One of the men who used to be employed in the cellar at Liverpool in which thirty-three dead bodies were found, has been taken into custody, and will be tried for the misdemeanour at the Kirkdale Sessions. MANCHESTER, OCT. 21.--There has been consider ably less animation in the market this week, particularly in cloth, for which, in some instances, it has been diffi cult to obtain former prices. Nevertheless, there is a general feeling that business is gradually getting into a healthful condition. Some people state, that country buyers are suspending their purchases of prints, from an expectation that the duty will be repealed ; but we can scarcely think that this motive has operated to any material extent. GLASGOW, OCTOBER 21.—A fair proportion of the specie (500,000 dollars on account of the Mexican Government, and 700,000 on account of Merchants) and cochineal, value 800,000 dollars, brought by the Hussar frigate from Mexico, is, we are happy to find, on Glasgow account. The British merchants in Mexico state in a made to our Consul General, that their remittances in future will be specie instead of bills, and they com plain of the want of opportunities by ships of war to forward it to Britain. The Consul has engaged to lay their letter before Mr. Secretary Cameo, and directions, we have no doubt, will be given to ships of war to call mare frequently at Vera Cruz. This is the anniversary of the death of Tycho Brahe, the great mathematician, in 1601 ; also the death of William Prynne, celebrated for his writings against the immorality of the stage, and persecutions by the Star Chamber, 1669. FATAL Antsy...An unfortunate rencontre took place on Saturday afternoon, at Coggeshall, in Essex, between a man named Goody, gamekeeper to Mr. Han. bury, of that place, and a man named Horn, a labourer. According to the account we have received, it appears that about a month back, some dispute arose between the parties, respecting a quantity of nuts which Horn was detected gathering in the woods belonging to Mr. Haubury. The gamekeeper warned him off, and fur ther insisted on his leaving the nuts he had gathered behind him, which he refused doing. The gamekeeper 'attempted to take them from him, and a regular battle, lasting, it is said, nearly an hour, ensued, in which Horn had the decided advantage, and was at last al lowed to depart, taking with him the nuts he had ga thered. Saturday afternoon, the parties again, by accident, met in a part of Mr. Hanbury's estate, which known as Highfields. Whether Horn was engaged in any illegal act, does not appear ; but words took blows ensued, and the gamekeeper, with a large clasp knife is said to have struck Horn a blow on the left arm, which, penetrating into his side, caused immediate death. The gamekeeper was taken into custody slaartly alter, to await the result of the Inquest on the body. A Liverpool paper says, " The Corporation are about to build two Free Schools, one of which is inished !" Nine foreign, nine Irish ; and one Guernsey 'arrived yesterday. LAW REPORT.

This morning Mr. &mum appeared in Court without the principal part of his forensic costume, namely, his wig. It appeared that the Learned Advocate had left home in a hurry, leaving his symbol of wisdom quietly reposing on a block. It was soon after placed upon the head which had so long given it motion, and all its power operated again upon the Court and Jury. EVANS V. WARD. Mr. ScAttlarrT said that this action was brought by his client to recover damages for the non•performarce l of an agreement. The defendant was a merchant of the City, and in the early part of the yea(lB2s the plaintiff bought a cargo of whalebone of him. The bargain for the purchase was made between the parties by a broker of the name of Linthorne. The broker had, however, made a previous sale of the commodity to a Mr. Fergu son.: This latter Gentleman failed, and by the wish of the assignees the contract was cancelled. Mr. Ward agreed to this, and at the same time told Mr. Linthorne to sell the whalebone to some other person. A sale was then made to Mr. Evans, certainly not by Mr. Linthorne himself, but by his clerk, who, he should prove, was fully competent and authorised to act for his master. Two days after the sale was effector], it appeared that a considerable advance had taken place in the price of the commodity, and then the defendant refused to con firm the contract with his client. This action was con sequently brought to recover damages for this breach of contract. From the evidence it appeared that at the time of the second sale, the broker, Mr. Linthorne, was out of town, but that his clerk, having authority from Mr. L had effected it, and Mr. Ward, the defendant, had on the afternoon, after having received a copy of the contract from the clerk, refused to ratify it, upon the ground, as be stated, that Mr. Linthorne had no authority to sell. A Mr. Penny, an extensive broker, did not conceive it necessary to apprise the principal before the sale was effected ; he considered that after the bargain was made, the contract was binding. Mr. ALDERSON addressed the'Jury for the defence: The Loan Comm - Armco summed up. The only point for the consideration of the Jury was, whether they thought by the evidence that Mr. Linthorne had been authorized to make the sale oI the cargoes io question. If it did not appear that he had been, then certainly the principal (the defendant) was nat liable. The Jury, alter some consultation, returned a verdict for the de *dant. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Om 23. These Sessions commenced this morning, Mr. MAR RYAT presiding in the absence of Mr. CONS; who is still confined by indisposition. John Townsend, an itinerant bookseller, was con victed of an indecent assault upon a young man, the apprentice of a shoemaker. He was sentenced to six months' solitary imprisonment. Thomas Toms was convicted of keeping a disorderly house in Thornhaugh-street, and sentenced to 6 months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. John Cooper was indicted for assaulting J. Parker. It appeared that on the evening of the 27th of August last, the prosecutor, who is clejk to Messrs. Burnet and Co. distillers, was driving in his gig along Vauxhall bridge, and, being as he described hinasell, neither drunk nor sober, he passed through the toll-gate with out paying the toll, under the supposition that he was to pay it at the other end of the bridge; whereupon he was followed by the defendant, a constable, stationed on the bridge on those nights on which the gardens were open, who seized his horse by the bridle, and caused it to back in a violent manner. The prosecutor got out of the gig, and a scuffle took place, in which each party insisted that the other was the first aggressor. The Jury found the defendant Goity,and The Couar, in consideration of his having a good character as an officer, only sentenced him to pay a fine of M. 4d. Robert Reece, the driver of a Richmond stage.coach, was indicted for assaulting a rival coachman, named Manse who stated, that seeing the defendant coming after him, at his utmost speed, with the evident deter mination of passing him, he put his horses also into rapid motion to prevent him ; but at the request of two of his female passengers, he pulled up, and made the defend ant do the same, upon which a female who was on the outside of Reece's coach, immediately endeavoured to get off; to prevent which, the defendant lashed his horses forward, although the poor woman was at that moment hanging from behind, merely by her hands, and upon the prosecutor going to her assistance, the defendant cut at him with his whip. It WM urged in defence, that the prosecutor had endeavourkd to seduce his passengers from him ; and witnesses were called to swear that the defendant had never struck him. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The COURT observed, that the_misconduct of stage coachmen in the neighbourhood of London had become such a nuisance, that it called loudly for punishment ; and, therefore, to make an example of the defendant, he was sentenced to four months imprisonment in the House of Correction. SUR/tEY SESSIONS, OCT. 23. - These Sessions commenced by adjournment this day at Horse• monger-lane, before ROpEtT Houma, Esq. Chairman, and a full Bench of Magistrates ; but the business was confined to a common assault case. Sunday morning early, as G. Byers, coachman to T. Berry, Esq. was proceeding through John-street, Bed ford-row, he was alarmed by the cries of a female from a cellar, and having knocked repeatedly at the door, he, with the aid of some persons passing, forced open a shutter, and still no person appearing, they entered the cellar, where they discovered, that the stones which co vered an old well had given way, and that the female' servant had fallen in. The well appeared to be about twenty feet deep, and was half full of water, but provi dentially the poor girl had caught hold of a projection in her descent, and had thus contrived to sustain herself till assistance arrived, when she was with difficulty ex tricated, with no other injury than what resulted from her fright, and a few slight bruises on her back. A violent schism is said to exist among the choristers of Westminster Abbey, and to such an extent is this har monious warfare carried on, that it was with great diffi culty that on a recent visit of an illustrious female, a sufficient number of singers could be got together to perform a full anthem. Some days ago, at Stourbridge, a young man drank such an excessive quantity of spirits, that death ensued. ADMIRALTY SESSIONS-.THIS DAY. These Sessiois commenced this morning at Justice Hall, In lb* Old Bailey, befdre•Lord STOWILL, and the Civilians, Drs. Patu.s. arose, Piccass, and HAGGARD, for the trial of offences committed en the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Court. After the Grand Jury had herb sworn, Lord Sorown.t. rose, and said, the. regular course of proceeding was for him, first, to address the Grand Jury on the charge reposed on them. The Calendar, said his Lordship, contained six trials, two of which were of a most serious description —that of murder. One for selling slaves, another for ill treatment towards a madder, and two others for minor offences. His Lordship had no doubt they would pay the strictest attention to those witnesses who wcwild be brought before them, and .confine themselves to that prima facia evidence, if be might so call It, before they returned a true biii. With there observations he begged their immediate attention, and the Grand Jury then retired to find the bills. COMMERCIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Letters from Messina, of 3d October, state, that wine keeps very► high, and it is reported there, that wine and brandies bate much advanced in England. Essences will not fall as have been amid pated.

Tallow is in request; the total quantity bought this year, is 85,000 asks; we expect it will be made up 95,000 to 100,000 casks. Last year 136,000 were shipped. Hemp is steady, and more would be done if there were more ships to be had. Oil is better. Exchange 10 to 10-16ths. Letters from Genoa, October 12, state, that the chief part of the Egyptian Beans in that port, are so very inferior, that few of the orders from Great Britain will be executed. RIGA, OCTOBIR 9. There is little or no alteration in goods. Flax is held at higher prices. The Exchange on London is 18g. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Om 23. The attendance of betting men yesterday, wasmuch more nume rous than we hate had occasion to notice for many weeks. To. wards the close of the room, the betting became brisk, and the effect of the running of the 4-yr olds at Newmarket last week, was obvious.

The two Matches, for 10Q sovereigns each, took place on Chelan*. ford Race Course on Saturday, much to the satisfaction of some frequenters of the turf then present. The first was for Mr. God frey's Bacchanal, to trot against Captain Willtnot's Virgin, eight miles; and the second for Mr. Dixon's Lancashire mare, to trot sixteen miles in one hour. In the first match the horses carried eleven stone each, and the second feather weight, namely Gst. 121 b. The mares were the favourites, at trifling odds. The horses trotted together—Bacchanal in 30 minutes and 10 seconds, and Virgin in 31 minutes and 28 seconds. The other mare started and performed the sixteen miles in good style and without much trouble, three minutes under the hour. At the conclusion of the above matches Mr.Gamhaston undertook to trot his Chelsea mare one mile in three minutes and eight seconds, for fifty sovereigns, over a part of the same ground. The match was lost, as the mare was fifty yards from home when the time had expired. Captain Bullock undertook yesterday, to trot his mare (Peggy) nine miles in thirty-two minutes, over a mile circle, near Epping, for a stake of two hundred sovereigns. The mare was new to the Sporting World ; and, consequently, excited great interest. Great sums were pending on it, and the distance was performed in thirty one minutes and thirty-seven seconds. The Match was won without once breaking from the trot,'and apparently without much labour. SHOOTING MATCH. The match at game shooting,-for 20 sovereigns each, between Messrs. Allwell, Burgess, and Phillips, took place on Saturday.— The terms of the match were, to commence at eight o'clock, and shoot until two. Mr. AllweU began at Stoke Bucks, and bagged [ as follows: four brace of partridges, six brace of pheasant s , a nd seven hares; total, twenty-seven head, in thirty shots. Mr. Bur gess shot from Esher, round the enclosures towards Walton, and he killed three and a half brace of birds, six brace of pheasants, and six hares; total twenty-five head in twenty-seven shots.— Mr. Phillips shot eastward from Cobham, and killed five brace of partridges, six of pheasants, and three hares • total, twe.pty-five in twenty-nine shots. Mr. Allw e ll was declared the winner by two. PEDESTRIANISM. Mr. Abernethy, the great pedestrian, has, at length, after ma n y successful undertakings, ov e r-m a t c h e d himself. He started on Friday, at one o'clock, from Sloane -street, to go to the one hun dred and thirteenth mile-stone on the F.xeter-road, and return in seventy-two hours, the distance being two hundred and twenty-five miles, taking off the distance front the start at Sloane-street. It was for fifty sovereigns. He performed seventy-six miles the Bra twenty-four boars, at eleven o'clock on Saturday ; on Sunday, he did seventy-five miles • and, after halting two h ours , be started eight miles on the Lon don side of Salisbury, to perform his last day's work of seventy-four miles. Be resigned at Hartley-row thirty-six miles from his destination, beat by the elements; be pro ceeded on at another trial, but nature failed him, and he came in by one of the morning coaches. WRESTLING. The great match between Cann and Polkinghons, which excites so much interest in the counties of Devon and Cornwall, and indeed in the metropolis, took place yesterday. The spot chosen for the seat of contest is admirably calcelated for the purpose, being a large green surrounded by high Walls, at New Passage, Devonport ; the proprietor of which (Mr. Pawlby) has erected seats capable of accommodating 10,000 persons. The ground was 400 feet by 110, and a Surveyor appointed to see that the seats were secure. Police officers were in attendance to keep order, and refreshments of every kind were provided an the spot. After the match for the Cham pionship was decided, fifty sovereigns were to be played for by twelve of the best wrestlers that could be selected on the spot from each county, so that the admirers of this sport expected it to prove the greatest treat that had been witnessed in either county for many years. Lord G.I. Botzsvoan has been appointed Governor and Costes Rata largos of the County of Waterford, In the room of the late Marquis of WATURFOAD• HINDOR.—Lord Gaosvarron has just furnished em. 'fortune to above fifty hands in this parish, to the great joy of the inhabitants, which he intends to maintain through the winter. The Right Rev. the Bishop of CLOYNE arrived in Cloyne on Friday se'nnight, where he will remain for a few days, and return again to Dublin, there to pass the winter. There •is good authority fur stating, that the Rev. Doctor BPDossem., Fellow of Trinity Co i llege, Dublin, will be the successor to the Right Rev. Doctor BUNKUM. as Professor of Astronomy in that University : it has been discovered that the Fellowship shall net interfere with this appointment. CRADOCK'S Second Volume of Literary and Misce lawous Memoirs, has just been presented at the Castle Palate, Windsor, and most graciously rec e i ve d ; t h e Thi r d Volume, con sisting chiefly of revised Editions of f ormer publications (odder the care of Trustees) ii now nearly completed.
