The Comic Opera of The Barber of Seville, with Rasura s music, as adapted to English metre by Mr. BISHOP, was last night performed with a degree of success that will warrant its ftequent repetition. On this occasion, Mr. G. PENNON, from the Liverpool Theatre, made his first appearance in London in the character of Figaro, and acquitted himself cleverly. In person he is short and slender, and by no means unlike the buffo PILL LIGRINI, to whom, inface, he bears some slight resemblance. In his style of Acting there is much confidence ; but we think his volatility—(he was con scantly in a state of excitatioa)—was carried a little too far, even for that beau ideal of intriguing barbers, Fi .,. nro. The fault, however, is on the right side. Eau het ance of spirit may be softened down; but dullness, like the dancing bear, can never be excited to anything like natural livelin, ss. Mr. l'EasoN, in,singing, mani fested a considerable portion of comic expression. He was extremely well received. Count Almaviva was agreeably stilipotted by Mr. WRENCH; and the anti quated lover, Dadar liartolo, in the hands of Mr. BA T. , JAY, excited much laughter. He is in appearance tlse very opposite of Da BISON 111; but if the spare, lanky for m of the Italian made us smile at the idea of such a lover hoping to succeed wi l th Rosina, the fat, pursy frame of the Englishman did not less incline us to mer riment. Miss PATON'S Rosina was excellent; she sang delightfully. Her first song, in the bravura style, was a splendid effort of science. The music was generally well executed. The d:fficult finale to t.e first act was snot creditably performed. It is rumoured that the Earl of MORLEY wilt succeed tlte late Earl of CaucHarms as Postmaster GeneraL Private letters from Lima state that BOLIVAR was still in that capital, and that it was understood to be his intention not to quit it for some time. However unanimous in appearance the Peruvians might be for the cause of independence, it was considered that they could nct be left to themselves, without the tisk of some political change, which the name and pre enceof Brad van kept in check. Thi; feeling was carried so far among the leaders of the independent party, that it was flatter of discuss;on whether, when the assembling of the Congress should make it_ requisite for BotavAß to surrender his office of Dictator, he should not be invited to resume it, until the independence of the country became more firmly fixed, and all danger from the conflicts of party at an end. There still remained in Peru a large body of Colombian troops well Armed and disciplined, so that whatever secret wi s hes BOLIVAR might entertain, the means of gratification were within his teach. S , me months would elapse before he could hear of the insurrectionary movements of General Patz, and a long further pet iod before he could trans. port himself to the scene of action. As he could not hope by his presence, after time had confirmed the separation of Venezuela Irum New Grenada, to restore afftits to their former tooting, it is probable that the evert will not accelerate his teturn to Colombia. Saturday, Denis Hynes and George Stank', who were tried and convicted at the last Commission, of the highway robbery of Mr. Bell, on the Rock-toad, were executed in front of Newgate, Dublin, pursuant to their sen•ence. It WA's expected that they would make some confession relative to the murder of the late Mr.Wogan, !pit they did not do so. Hynes was not more than 24 years of age ; Stanley was about 40. Thursday, as a boat with five individuals belonging to Greenock, was proceeding down the river Clyde, it 'iv is unfortunately run down by the Majestic, steam kct coming in from Liverpool, and immediately sink. Those cu hoard the boat 'made what prep .rations I , ey could to save themselves by swimming, and four ersons were thus •enah!ed, after their frail bark had sunk, to support themselves till they were successively ricked up by 11:e M rjestic's boats. The fifth, however, fine youth, about 17 years of age, the son of a Gentle nl+, in Greenock, was drowned. ANECDOTES OF WEBER.—..Neither our manners nor cur climate suited the Baron, who "should have died vie.:fier." When he was so loudly called for after•tke' performance of Oberon, he said to Mr. CHARLES kAIBLE, " Mr. KEMBLIC, for why you make de people (ry so for me?'' and it was with great difficulty that he induced to snake his appearance at the side scenes; !:d not then rill he had frequently exclaimed," No, I,i—where is de FAwcerr r wishing him to go on and ecrive al the honours of the day. If he had continued 1.1 corn i ose for our Theatre, he would probably have Ilicceeded in chastening and improving the style of our "OgerSi Oil One occasion, at a rehearsal, he said—" I •er sorry you talc so much troble,"" Oh! not at 4:1 r WAS the reply:—:." Yes," he added, "but I say, yes —dat it , I,r why you talc de troble to sing so many t•ut.s dat are not in de book." SL'm~IER ASSIZES: _ - • W NCHESTRR, JULY 4: The Western Circuit commenced here yesteitity.— There are but sixteen prisoners, end r l o one charged with an offence of any particular dnotplityi ' George Frankunt, aged 33, wai indicted for stealing a bay puny from the premises of Edward Ellis Femer, at Eversley, in the county-of Berks. The pony in question had been taken out of a field about the Bth of April, and a few days afterwards it was sold by the prisoner in this county, twenty miles from the place at which it was stolen. The defence set up by the prisoner was, that he, being an itinerant basket-maker, had bought the pony of a strange man in the public road. To prove this, he called 1 two witnesses, one a rag-gatherer, who said he had no place of settled residence; and another a chimney sweeper, These witnesses positively swore that they were present in the road, and saw the sa'e take place: that the prisoner gave three sovereigns, two one pound notes, and four half crowns to a strange man for the pony. These persons underwent a severe cross exami nati ; but they agreed in the main circumstances. Ihere were certainly some variations ; and the question was, whether these shewed the asserted defence to be a false one, or whether the variations. might fairly be as cribed to the infirinity of human memory. One of the witnesses said the strange man, the seller, gave back a shilling to the prisoner " for luck ;" the other said that nothing had been given b ick. One said he was present for about five minutes and not more, while the other said that that witness was present for full a quarter of an hour. The Learned Judge summed up the evidence, noticing them variations; but leaving the „Piny to decide as to their just effect. The Jury deliberated for about twenty minutes, and then returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Henry Bromfield, aged el, was indicted for stealing, on the lith of February, a mare, the property of Richard King—Acquitted. Thomas Allen, aged 25, a soldier in the marine artil lery, was indicted for burglariously breaking and enter ing the dwelling-house of Letitia Snell, widow (at Port sea, with intent to steal the goods and chattels of her the said Letitia Snell. In another count he was charged with the breaking and entering, and with actually steal ing certain articles the property of Henry Snell, in the said dwelling-house of the said Letitia Snell. Lieutenant Snell, of the Royal Navy, living with his Mother, the prosecutriz, brought the principal charge home against the prisoner. On the 13th of May, at about three in the morning, the witness was awakened by a noise in his bed-room, and on looking he saw the figure of a man leaning on the table near the window, through which he had got in, having cleared his way by breaking a part of the fastening. The witness started up; and resolutely seized the prisoner and secured him. His drawn sword was found in the room ; the scabbard close by it. He made no resistance on being taken; but begged he might not be sent back to the Artillery GuArd-house, as he would rather die than be sent back to such a tyrannical corps. No article was missing; except the shaving utensils of Lieutenant Snell, which were found in the room near the window, from off the table in which they had been either taken by the pri soner, or slipped off by his feet on his getting in at the window. The gallant Lieutenant admitted that the lat ter was not impossible. The prisoner in his defence said, that Its was in liquor at the time, and bad be rscollection of anything which had passed. Lieutenant Snell, on being recalled, said the prisoner appeared as if he had been drinking, but that be was in his perfect senses at the time: The Learned Judge, in charging the)ury, observed, that they would probably give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt as to the stealing of the articles belonging, to Lietitenatit Snell, as - that Gentien2an admitted the possibility of their being brushed off by the prisoner's feet on his getting in at the Window. The Jury acquitted the prisoner of the stealing ; but found him guilty (in the [Corm suggested by the Learned Judge) of breaking and entering, with intent to steal any goods, no matter whose, that he might find in the house. The Judge desired that sentence of death might not be recorded for the present. Lieutenant Snell informed the Court that he had heard a fa v.kurable character of the prisoner from his Regiment. This, the Learned Judge said, would be attended to hereafter. _ _ Samuel Sloe;scer, aged 32, was convicted of stealing a sow, which was traced in his possession front Crandall, in this county, to Houn slow, where (it being much distressed and fatigued by recessive driving) he sold it for a He was sentenced to seven years' transportation. There was no cause of any interest this day on the civil aide. NORTHAMPTON, JULY 4. SHERARD V. ROBERTS, D.D. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attor ney of this county, against the defendant, who is a ma gistrate and a clergyman, to recover the amount of a bill incurred by ihr defendant for conveyancing, &c. Mr. CLARK detailed to the Jury the circumstances of the case, as he hoped to be able t, establish them in evi• deuce. The defendant had been the possessor of a living of considerable value is this county, and he was anxious to effect an exchange with another Clergyman. For this purpose he had employed the plaintiff, and the amount of the bill warincurred for his professional ex ertions in facilitating the exchange in question. How ever, he now sought to evade the payment of the plain tiff's very reasonable demand ; and it would be for the Jury to say, whether, upon the fair result of the evidence which he should lay before them, there existed the least ground for this resistance on the part of the defendant. He should show, by professional men, that the charges were most reasonable; and having done this, unless he was greatly mistaken, he should entitle himself to their verdict. The evidence of the case having been concluded. The Loan Come B• our read over his notes of the evidence to the Jury, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £2O. SIMARD V. NOSSOPF. This was an aedon brought by- the same Genthtman who was plaintiff In the last cause, against the defendant, for work and labour in his office of Steward of a Manor in this county, belonging to Lord Carysfosto—Damages £66. ABINGDON, Jinx 4. Win V. lilt JOHN DASHWOOD RING, BART.. This was an action br iught by a small farmer of Duckinghansshire 2 . against Sir John Dashwood King, M.P. and a Magistrate of that county ; and the decla ration, in no less than 18 counts, averred three distinct causes of action. The first six charged the defendant with having maliciously prosecuted the plaintiff under the Ist Geo. IV. cumnionly called 44 The Trespass Act." The second six charged the defendant with having sl.irr derously said of and concerning the plaintiff, 4 41 could have hung West long ago, if 1 had chosen to appear against him personally ; I had Lim in Aylesbury gaol long ago, and the man who was indicted veith him was transported." The last six counts, rather curiously, were in trover fur 1200 trees, in a wood called Phillip s Hill Wood, belonging 'to the defendant, which; were t o leged to have been purchased by the plaintiff. the defendant pleaded Not Guilty to all the slander,' save and except the words, " I bad him in Aylesbury gaollong ago, and the m in who was-indicted with him was transported.." These were justified by fhe defendant as true and titi plaintiff has derntirrid to the jtastifica lion. ibe'Venue, aftei' hating been otigimaly laid in London, *As mdved last terdi, At the' instante of the plaintiff, from Buckinghamshire (whdr the supposed cause of action arose) to this, as the nett Adjoining county. The short gist of the facts eatablishbel in evidence was this, Sir. 3. Dashwood King, the defendant, is possessed of a considerable track of wdod land, in the county of Bucks, denominated Phillip's Hill Wood. On the 13th of December, 1824, he sold by public auction a quan-.I tity of the tirhbei then growing there to different per sons ; part of it was purchased by a person of the name of Nicholls, whd paid a deposit according to the condi tions of sale, but paid nothing more. Nicholls became a bankrupt within a month atter his purchase, and be tween the pet iod of his purchase and the issuing of his commission, he sold to the plaintiff. The plaintiff pro ceeded to take a considerable ottani ity of timber under this sale, but was wrested in his progress by the defen dant,as he had not receive! any valid payment. The cause of action, with respect to the malicious prosecti ti.on, was early abandoned by the plaintiff's Counsel.— The counts for troves were also given up in the progress of tits case, and the action then solely depended upon , the slander. As to this point, it was proved by an At t:Tney's clerk that when he went to deliver the defendant a formal notice, demanding peaceable possession of the timber in_ question, the defendant u s ed words in sub stance similar to thoseimputed to him by the declaration. Mr. Justice littßOVOti charted the Jury that the* Words Were , actionable, bat left it for them to confider whether such provoca tion did not exist as to account sufficiently for such expressions being made use of by a Gentleman defrauded of his property. The Jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict [or the plaiti tiff—Damages, la. • CHARGE OF SLAVE DEALING. s Mr. Thomas Young, late Captain of the merchant ship Malta, of Liverpool, employed .in the African trade, has undergone an examination at Deptford. and is now in t'm House of Correction, Coldbath Fields, under Sir Richard Birnie's warrant of commitment, on a charge of having sold fQr slaves four girls, natives of a part of the Coast of Africa, near St. John's Island, whis had been placed with him as hostages, or security for the performance of certain contracts entered into between him and two of the native Chiefs. The wit nesses against the accused were tie mate and some of the crew of the Malta. On the arrival of the transport in the River, James John Smith, one of the principal officers of Bow -street, was sent down to take Captain Young into custody. The officer took the Captain to the Victualling Office at Deptford. where he underwent an examination of greath length before Sir R. Birnie, who went down expressly to hear the cue, and the cir cumstances were related in evidence on oath. In his defence,. Captain Young denied the charge, which he declared was fabricated against him by his crew, from feelings of in ilice, because they had quar relled with him. Sir IL Br RNIX said it was his duty, upon the evidence Which had been adduced, to commit Captain Young to prison, to await his trial; and he was accordingly committed to the House of Correction for Middlesex. He will be tried at the Admiralty Sessions. The avizvers t af4ol4lta, whame merchants of the first respectability at Liverpool, intend-to appeal to the High C&irt of Admiralty here, against the confiscation of, ship and 'cart.). The thermometer yesterday, at eleven o'clock, in die ' , shade, at the Royal Exchange, was at 75. -There have been nearly 100 persons apprehended, most of - whom are now in prison, charged with being concerned in the desperate riots that took place at New ark-upon. Trent, at the close of the recent election at that place, when the whole of the windows of the Town- I hal/ were demolished, and considerable injury sustained in person and property. The Ward of Aldersgate gave tUeir inauguration din ner on Tuesday, "to Sir PETZR LAURIT:, at the Albion 'fAvern, on the occasion of -the worthy Knight's being elected Alderman, in the room of the late Ald. Cox. The la-e Earl of Cnicnesvert held various import ant offices with honour to himself and advantage to his country. He commenced his official career as Principal Secretary for Ireland during the Viceroyalty of the late Duke of PORTLAND, and afterwards filled the same office -with great ability at the critical.• period of the memorable rebellion in that country, when the present Marquis of CAMDEN was at the head of the Irish Go vernment. In the Administration of Mr. ADDINOTON (now Lord BIGMOUTH) be was Principal Secretary of State for the Hume Department, which office his ill. state of health obliged him to resign ; and on his suc ceeding to the Earldom of Carcnenven, in consequence of the death of his fatter, he was appointed one of Vie Postmasters General, which office he continued to hold for the remainder- of his life. His Lordship was in the 71st year of his age, and is succeeded in his titles of Earl CHICHESTER and Baron PELHAM, by his eldest son, Lord PELHAM, now Earl of Cnicults.rea, who was born in August, 1804. An inquest was held on Tuesday laxt, at kletton-le- Hole, before T. C. Meynard, Esq. Co-veer for Easington Ward, on view of the body of Robert Cutter, late of Appleeln Wiskie, near Darlington. It appeared from the evidence, that the deceased, in company with two other persons, went into a public house at Hetton, on Monday evening last, having agreed that they would drink rum, and that l first who became intoxicated should pay the reckoning. They accordingly called for a bottle of rum, which they drank in five minutes, and in ten minutes mote they finished another. There were several persons in the house at the time, and from the circumstanci the landlord was not aware that three only were engaged in consuming the liquor. The com pany observing the effect the spirit had upon the infa tuated men, interfered arid remonstrated with them, but without effect. and they persisted in drinking . a third bottle, and had consumed abo ut three part s of it, when they all three fell upon the Roos insensible, and within two minutes of each other. Cutter almost im med.ately expired—the others have recovered. The other day, a Surgeon, not far from Brompton, who had refularly gone through his gradations at Apothecaries Hall, wrote to the S crawl for a copy of the forms, acc. to which, as a member, he was en-i titled. His servant delivered the letter, but it/ name not being familiar to the Secre:ary, he repeated it, say.' ing, Mr. 6—, Mr. 6—, has he passed the Hall, I wonder ?"

MELANCHOLY EVENT ON MALVERN HILL. Saturday, a party of friends, among whom were the eldest son and three daughters of J. Hill, Esq. of Lind ridge, on the borders a Grieucestershire, and several other young Ladies who were on a *risk to them, had agreed to form a gipsey party, to perambulate the Malvern Hills. They were accompanied by a servant man, with a light cart furnished with provisions, 4tc.— About three o'clock they had reached the Worcester shire beacon, on which is a building erected by Lady Harcourt, for the use of .persons walking on the hills, when a violent storm came on suddenly., and the young Ladies were very much alarmed at the light ning and thunder. The building is of st me, and the roof covered with iron; there was a stone table in the middle of the room, and seats on each side, with a window opposite the door-way.' Miss Eliza Hill, her sister Johanna, and a Miss Woodward, from Hereford, were seated at the table; the others walking about. Miss M rgaret Hill, 15 years of age, was looking:out at the door-way to see if the storm hal passed, when she observed the electric fluid (which no doubt 'was at tracted by the iron roof) appeared as a mass of fire rolling along the hill and ripproachirg their retreat, she attempted so run out, but was instantly thrown with lence to the ground, her shoes and part of her dress *ere' much burnt ; her brothtr, who was near, shared much the same. The electric fluid shivered the stone table to atoms, and many large stones in the wall, and passed through the window, removing , the frame and stone work about it. Two of the young Ladies, Mist Eliza Hill and Miss Woodward, were in►tantly struck dead. Miss Johanna appeared in the same state ; medical aid being procured, she wars bled, and removed to the U.ni corn Inn, at Malvern; she has not spoken since, and there is but little chance of her tecovery. 'The three were all burnt on the face, neck; and breast; ther hair burnt off one side of the head, and part of their clothes destroyed. All the other Ladies were in a slight degree injured by the electrii fluid. PORTHeR PARTICULARS. At this awful period of the calamity the rain de scended in torrents, and the peals of thunder were tre. mendous beyond description. Cattle of every kind were terrified, and fled everywhere for shelter..: Previoui to the tempest, the above party were all seated upon the ground partaking of refreshment, and nothing appeared wanting to .consummate 'their happiness. Mr. John Chapman, of London, who was upon the Hill at the time, was an eke witne.s to this portion of the melan. choly tale, and observed• the young ladies as they re treated towards the building which has proved so fatal to them. COTTON SPINNERS' MEETING, BLACKBURN: Thursday evening, a very numerous Meeting of the working cotton spinneri of Blackburn was held in the Ball and Concert Room, Market Street Lane, to Adopt, as the bills expressed, " means to support the men wigs have turned out at Wensley Fold, in their lawful exer tions in defence of their rights." Mr. EDWARD HAM. MOND, senior, in the Chair. Mr. EDWARD HAMMOND, jun. addressed the Meeting at some length on the distress occasioned by low wages al Had manufacturers," he said, " stood up for their prices, as the landholders did for their corn laws, and not reduced their wages, all might have still been pros perous and happy; but some manufacturers, with little capital and small fortune, thought to grow rich by reducing their workmen's wages, and undersell their neighbours in the market. They were, !so .% ever, disap. pointed—their neighbours also reduced, and reduction followed reduction till the weaver can now scarcely ob tain as much as will keep body and soul together." A series of resolutions were passed, denouncing the reduction of wages at Wensley Fold , as unlaful, and pledging the meeting to support the spinners in their endeavours to withstand the contemplated reduction.— The following resolution was also passed unanimously: "That this Meeting has beheld, with the liveliest gratitude, the noble and humane principle acted upon by those Gestkruen who have, at the present distressing crisis, reduced their time ia pkw. Terence to their wages, and the cotton spinners of Blackbern ao hereby oar their warmest thanks to those of their employers who have adopted such laudable conduct." - - amain' }Unwrap laid he had caUed on mow of the tttaq cotton-spinners of lilackbum on Monday, to ascertain their send* meats as to the reduction. From hoe of them he met with a most favourable reception, and they all mousiest themselves dectileclly hostile to a reduction of wages.
