SURREY THEATRE. List eight, after the burletta of the Time and the Deuce, in which Mr. ELLI*TON sustained the character a the Three Singles, with all the vigour and originality of former years, an amusing liit!edrrmra wall performed fur the sixth time, entitled March of fiddled. It is written for the purpose of displaying through a variety of cha racters the versatiletalents oi a young boy, Master Byrum who has for some time back been pl lying at this Theatre. The great business of the piece depends upon Master Bunice, who, besides his original part of Master Socrates Carnelian, ir a youth of parts," he successively appeared as Mr. iirence V Leary from Killarney ; Signor Sordini from Italy ; Blister Bothlik, Lag. Jack Ratline from the Binnacle man.of-war; and last Napoleon Bonaparte from Elysium. The whole of these parts were most admirably supported by their infant representative. Indeed we have seldom witnessed a more accurate conception of parts, or more knowledge of stage effect, than this child displayed throughout the piece. To be judged of he should be seen, and those who take that trouble will be amply repaid for a trip across the water. Some very clever balancing on the tight rope by Haan CLIMB, and the Piece called Pail and Virginia con vlsided the amusements of the evening. The house was crowded at half pi ice.

BALL - 00N ASCEN r. Thursday last, Mr. Bt - OWN made an ascent in Her. t ulm% from a piece of ground behind theflalloonTavern, in S)camorestreet, Sheffield. The situation was ill chosen; and the difficulties which the aeronaut had to encounter at one time precluded any hope of au ascent, and at the time of 'leaving the earth, nearly proved fatal. The 10110..111g is the account furnished by Mr. Brown and his companions: The ascent took place from the Balloon Tavern Yard, at a quarter past five. On tiong, the machine came in contact with a chimney, and displaced some of the bricks. For a few minutes we remained upon the roof, and were then under the necessity of parting with all our ballast, and even the grappling irons, in order to facilitate our ascent. The balloon then rose majestically, taking a s.iuth-easterly direction, when we enjoyed a most enchanting view of the town and neighbouring villages. We soon lost sight of Sheffield in passing through a dense cloud, during Which short period the earth also became invisible. The town of Chesterfield, however, soon presented itself to nor view, and after passing over it, we perceived the balloon fast descending; but anxious to continue our voyage, we found it requisite to part with our coats, boots, and everything we could spare from the car. We had now the satisfaction to find that we were rising, and had soon attained the altilude of a mile and three quarters, The earth then had the appearance of a map, partially in• tercepted by floating clouds. After a short time, we again found ourselves slowly descending. Passing over the But terley iron works, and some of the surrounding villages, we reached the place where we thought it advisable to mike our final descent, which took place in a stubble field belonging to E. Munden, Esq. Shipley Hall, eight miles to the left of Derby, alter having been up an hour and ten minutes, and making a voyage of 32 miles. Mr. Munden kindly offered every assistance. and after hospitably entertaining us, forwarded us in his carriage to Alfreton, from whence we arrived in Sheffield about ball -past ten on Friday morning.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK. Cstaseeszon, JOLT zo.—The schooner Eliza, Captain Casey. arrived last evening from Newborn, brought in part of the passim. gets, together with Captain Delano, and part of the crew of th sloop Falcon. which was wrecked on Cape Lookout Shoals, on the night of the 14th instant, from whom we learn the following paniculars :—" The Falcon sailed from Savannah on the lath inst. bound for New York, having on board a cargo of cotton and rice, and stz passengers. Oa the 14th, at 11 o'clock p.m. the vessel struck on the outer shoal of Cape Lookout, and bilged. The sea beat her over into deep water, where all sail was made far the land, the crew employed in throwing overboard every thing they could get at, the vessel sinking fast. Captain Delano, to save the lives of the Lady-paseenggrs, gave permission to them to take the boat, with two hands, ana, if possible, procure assistance from the shore; but the panic became so great, that instead of eight persons going in the boat, the following persons jumped on board—viz. Mr. Colt, Lady, and child, of F.asthaven, Connecticut ; Mr. Fort and Lady, of Milledgeville, Georgia; Mr. Little and Lady, of Savannah; Mrs. Dsgkerty, of Ireland; Mr. W. Scott, of New haven, Connecticut; Mr. Brown, mate of the sloop- Wiscasset; and Thomas, a youth of about 15 years of age, of Cbarifello, who was working his passage, and had been employed in lane of the steam boats between this city and Augusta. In about a quarter of an hour after the boat left the vessel, the sloop filled and capsized, the persons on board sustaining themselves by the rigging, the sea breaking over them in this situation. Attempts were made to snake a raft of the quarter boards, but they not being sufficient. it was abandoned. The only recourse left was to stay by the door and sink with her, or attempt to swim to the shore, six miles dis tant, both of which were alike desperate. Under the latter idea, most of the persons on board threw off their clothes, and were severely burnt by the sun next day. During the time they were in this situation they were much bruised by the wasting of the sea.— At one o'clock p.m. on Sunday, the remaining persons nn board— viz. Mr. James Ferse and son, of Barnwell, South Carolina; Mrs. Catherine Lambs, of Ireland; Captain Macey, late of the ship Commerce, of New York ; Mr. H. Prescott, of Newhaven, Con necticut; John Cany, of Ireland; John Gready of ditto; Patrick M'Cater, of ditto ; Lewis Cat ter, of Philadelphia ; and James Her ron, oi Ireland, (the latter died on board the Eliza, on the 111th); Captain Delano, of the sloop Falcon. Arthur Delionald, Josiah Briggs, and Joseph Raymond, a black man, seamen; Benjamin Ross, black, cook ; and George, a black boy, were taken Of the Wreck by the schooner Eliza. At the time the boat left the Falcon, the light-house was in sight, and which those on board probably endeavoured to reach. Captain Casey informs us, the shore is so very difficu boat perishe d. lt to land uon, that there is every reuses to fear aff on board the When left tie wreck, she was almost entirely under water." BELFAST, Sin% S. Mumma Rum Is D ROG HBO A.—The Fair-day on Friday exhibited a terrific scene of confusion far some time, caused by the refusal of the country people to pay the gate-custom and pontage, on their return home with their cattle. the rioting first began on the bridge_ cattle were driven furiously forward in large bodies; but the toll-man succeededin most instances in obstruct ing their passage, when the blu Jgenns were actively used on both sides, and with such effect, as to make im pressions upon the heads of the combatants; but the un fortunate cattle were the principal sufferers. Behind they were unmercifully beaten by the drivers, and in the front by the toll-men, and the loss to the owners must exceed by a hundred fold the amount of the toll demanded, not to speak of the cru elty of the proceedng. The Mayor at last found it requisite to call tor the assistance of the military, in order to prevent the loss of life, which otherwise ap peared inevitable. A party of the Rifles promptly at tended, and were drawn up under the direction of the civil autlicirities, but even their presence did not entirely suppress the disturbance until the Riot Act was twice read. and the crowd were then dspersed by the military. Several were taken up, and held to bail for their isp peat ance at the Sessions. On Saturday the toll-men were repeatedly overpowered, and the military were again called out: one party was stationed at Westgate, and the other in the Tholsel, to be ready in case of ne cessity. Mr. Whitworth, an English merchant residing there, has just been committed to gaol by the Mayor, on a charge sworn against him for exciting the mob this morning to riot. The Mayor has refused to take bail for his Appearance at the Assizes, as be had been pre viously bound over to keep the peace—himself in 1001. and two sureties in 50 . 1. each..--Belfast Chronicie. THE LATE FIRE AT PADDINGTON. Courage's laduear.—Yesterday evening an-Inquisi tion was taken at the Coachmakers' Arms, Be'grave Mews, Grosvenor-place, before T. Hums, Esq. the Co. russet for Westminster, on view of the body of Caleb Gudsbell, a fine youth, aged 17 years, who was burnt to death at the fire in Chapel-street, Edgeware-road, on Monday morning last. Mr. John Farebrother, late of No. 29, Chapel-street, Eigeware-road, eating-house-keeper, being sworn, stated, that the deceased was his shopnaan. On Sunday night last, witness, after seeing that all was safe, as he thought, wired to his bed room on the first floor with his wife and three children; the deceased went up stairs before him to kis bed room, on the second floor: between two and three o'clock in,the morning he was awoke by his wife, who said that the dog was making a noise in the passage, and she thought something was amiss. Witness instantly got up, and found that the room was nearly filled with smoke; he hurried on his small clothes, and told his wife•for GOD'S sake, to rouse the children, as he was sure the house was on fire. On opening the door, great quantities of smoke rushed into the room ; he with -ome difficulty got op stairs to the door of the deceased's bed room, at which he knocked most violently, apprising him of the danger, and begging him to come down as quick as possible. The deceased answered him and got out of ned ; witness then rushed down stairs, and entering his bed•r,,om again, opened the window, and with all his strength let down his wife and three children from a balcony, into the arms of the watchmen and some ocher persons. By this, time the flames had reached the room, and the night-cap of one of his children was partly burned ; he lastly threw out his dog. which was in the habit of reposing on the landing.place; witness was unable to save any property except his pocket-book, which he always kept about his person ; he saved himself by dropping from the balcony into the street; his family wei e compelled to escape only with their night clothes on, and all 'were more of less hurt by being let out of the win dow in the manner described; witness did not see the deceased till he was in the arms of a person in the street; he was then quite insensible, and appeared to be dread fully burnt; he cannot account for the origin of the fire ; he kept no combustibles on the premises except some shavings. Mr. Henry Lemon, of E Igeware-load, hair-dresser, deposed that he heard the alarm of fire: on going to the spot, he was told that a boy was in the house ; the smoke and flames were at this time issuing from the lower part of the house, near the shop-window; with the assistance of a watchman and Mr. Drake, a neighbour, the door (which was fortunately not very strong) was burst open, and witness observed the de ceased lying at the fact of the stairs, with his legs up right at this time the flames were on both sides of him ; the deceased appeared to make a last effort, and stag gered towards the doer like a drunken man; he was laid hold of, and taken into a house close by. and medical advice sent for; he was afterwards brought to the hospital. Mr. Thomas Tatum, hou , e surgeon of St. George's Hospital, stated, that the deceased was admitted on Monday morning last, about half-past three o'clock ;he was most extensively burnt ; everything proper was done for him, but he died about six o'clock the same eve , ing ; the burns were the cause of death. The evidence being concluded, the Coroner addressed the Jury in a few words, who returned a verdict— " That the deceased was burnt to death, but whether from accident or otherwise there was no evidence to prove." Paoaassa OF POPULATION IN AUIRICA.• The vil lage of Rochesttr, in the north westtru part of the state of New York, was first surveyed and laid out in lots in the year 1811, and the first settlement made in 1812. The progressive and rapid increase of inhabi tants since that period is truly astonishing. In Sep em ber 1818 the village contained 1049 inhabitants : in August 1820,1502 ; in September 1822, 3130; in 1824, ,4274, and in 1825 (the last census of America) they amounted to 5271. This thriving town is situated on the line of the Great Erie Canal, which extends from the city of Albany on the River Hudson to the village of Buff4lo on Lake Erie a distance of 362 miles. trlwowsrisie or Lloxr.—The rays of the sun, when passed through a lens, cause a variation in the magne. tic needle of two or three degrees. And it also appears when the focal rays are passed through different co. loured glasses, and made to impinge on the side of the wat surrounding the needles,that they have different effects on the opposite poles. The blue rays formed in this manner attract the south pole and repel the north. The blue and violet ray produces a variation of several degrees, when directed to the south pole. The rays of the son, whether undivided or separated by the prism, do net appear to exert their influence long on the magnet, in producing a variation ; and this arises from the effects of the solar beam being suddenly diffmed over the whole needle. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. LANCASTER, Sm. S. Caowi Sm.—Before Mr. isatkir Rana. - Jansei Thompsox, aged 36, was indicted few having stolen at Liverpool, a gelding, the property of Robert Bradburne. It appeared in evidence. that the prosecufrr is a livery stable keeper, at Orm kirk, about iS miles from Liver• pool. On the 20th of January, about nine o'clock i■ the morning, the prisoner hired a horse at M►. ['rad. burne's stables to go to Liverpool, and nt ver returned. He traced him to the Angel Inn, at Liverpool, but from that time he had never seen the horse. The prisoner was seen about six months after in Liverpool, when he was taken into custoiy. It was proved by one or two of the witnesses, that the prisoner was in treaty with a Captain of a vessel to go to America, and had thea possession of the horse. The prisriner, in his defence, 'declared that he was not the man that hired the horse, and that the witnesses had been bribed to coo.vict him. lie had served his Majesty for 18 yea:s and upwards, and bad been se verely wounded. Latterly, he had been employed in several respectable houses in Manchester, from which he produced two or three letters, speaking in high terms of his character. The Learned JUDO' summed op the evidence, and told the Jury, that if a man hires a horse of a livery stable keeper, and at the tiase he hires jibe has the intent of disposing of that horse, he is as guilty of stealing it as if he had taken it out of a field. But if at the time he engages the beast, he has no such intent, but after he has it in his possession, circumstances do occur that he is of necessity obliged to dispose of that horse, it is his duty to bring proof of that. lo this case no such proof bad been brought forward. Guilty—Sentence of death recorded. Mr. Justice BATLIT said he should make enquiries as to the truth of the contents of the two letters he bad handed is, upon which would depend his fount fate. His life would be spared. James Herd, 23, and George Clough, 22, were in dicted for a burglary in the dwelling house of John Buckley, at Oldham. Mr. ARMSTRONG stated the case. Jolla Buckley stated, that he was a cotton weaver at Oldham. Oa the morning of the 24,1 April, about one o'clock, he heard a noise in the house, and called up the apprentice, James Clay.—Shortly after two persona en tered the roim with a light. George Clough carried the light; but he did not know the other man then, but he had since heard it was James Hurst. Witness at tempted to get up, and said, Well, lads, what de you want here? Clough replied, " You must lie down, we want some money." He and his stile Then laid down, and the prisoners pulled the bed clothes over their heads ; he afterwards saw four or fide men in the room rummaging and seeking about. George Clough stood lover him and his wife, until the. others discovered the money under the bed, in a little screw box. There were five sovereigns and a shilling, which they took away, 'together with some linen and a hat. They told them they would not hurt them if they laid still. Cross-exameil— Clough told him so. He could not speak to the person of Hurst. Clough was in the room twenty minutes. He was sitting for ten minutes without the clothes over his face, and bad a full view of Clough. By the JUDGE—Saw Clough again on the Slit May, when he was in custody. They had got into the boost by drawing the hinges of the door. James Clay, apprentice to the prosecutor, gave evi dence to the same effect. The next time he saw Clough, he was in custody, and knew him again directly. By the JuDoz.—My master recognised him before I did, and said so ; and then I recollected him. Mary Buckley, the wife of the prosecutor, stated, that she heard some person crawl under the bed, and rick (reach to) the box where the money was, and say, " have got it, and will go and shew t'Other:' They then all left the room, but two of them came back again with lights in their hands, and ordered her and her hus band to get out of the bed they were in, and desired them to go into the children's beds, which they did. One of the men then came up with his face concealed by his handkerchief, and the prisoner Hurst came in with his face uncovered (she did not know him before), and pulled the bed and bedding off the bedstead. Hurst went under the bed, and three more men then came in. After they had minutely esamined their bed, they examined the apprentice boy's bed. On going I away, they asked her for a Istrern to go over to John Shaw's house. About 100 yards from her house she found one, and gave it to them. Part of the men went away, and part remained in the house. Next morning she found the lantern in the house. The prisoners declined saying any thing in defence. Luke Dielamb a tailor, Tesi ing at Oldham, knew Hurst. Had worked for him. It-collects Sunday, the 22d of April. In a day or two after be heard of Buck le's robbery. The green coat he has on now was in his shop on the 22J of April—[Mrs. Buckley swore that Hurst wore a green coat when he en►ered her Moose]—bit his sister fetched it away on Sunday morn ing, between eight and twelve o'clock. He had known Hurst some time, and always believed him to be a* honest man. Another witness gave him A good character. Clough called no witnesses. Mi. Justice BAYLIT summed up the evidence in a very dear and impartial manner, pointing out the beatings and the discrepancies. The Jury consulted for a short time, and found Hurst Guilty, and Clough Not Guilty. TUISDAY, BtPrEMBEi 4. Janes Hurst, Richard Hurst, his father. Janes Has thorn, John Botioinky, and Robert Clough, were indicted for a burglary in the house of John Shaw. at Oldham, and stealing a Bank of England note for SOL a bank post bill for 201. 22 sovereigns, a half soireleign, and some silver. Mr. Aaserraorio, who conducted the prosecution, said M►.
