Overtures, highly advantageous, have likewise b een made to the veteran MUNDEN to sal few nights in Paris; MIINDEN, who is in excellent health, has not returned an answer. BARRYMORI is preparing a Pantomine for Christmas, which, in point of scenery, machinery, and decoration, is intended to rival all that has hitherto been done for the gratification of the holiday folks. FARLEY has been employed, during the summer, upon a new Pantomine for Christmas ; and a melo.drame, which the Manager expects will be a palpable hit. Kean has been acting with success both in Glasgow sod Liverpool. From the latter place ht comes to Co vent-garden, whence, when he has acted a certain num , b et of sights, he will go to Paris to perform in the English Theatre. The Big Wigs at Cambridge, jealous of the exclusive run enjoyed by their sister University in the admirable' rrformances of CHARLES MATHEWs, have invited the Wag to give them a "touch of his quality," and he is gong to Cambridge to perform two or three nights ; after which, we believe about Christmas, his engagement *ill commence with his friend PRIcE at Old Diary.-- MArsiews will not be " At Home" at the Lyceum' 'during the ensuing L,.nt ; he has been warmly solicited to return to Ametica for another season,and it is probable be will go when his engagement has te:minated Drury•lane.

Davit) GARRICK was once on a visit at Mr. RIGEY's seat, Mtstley Hall, Essex, when Dr. Goyim formed one of the party. Observing the potent appe - ite of the /earned Doctor, GAitRICK indulged in some coarse jests on the occasion, to the great amusement of the com pany, the Doctor excepted; who, when the laugh had subsided, thus addressed the party :—" Gentlemen, you must doubtless suppose, fri,m the extreme familiarity with which Mr. GARRICK bas thought fit to treat me, that I am as acquaintance of his; but I can assure you, that, till I met him here, I never saw him bat once be fore, and then I paid five shillings for the sight."

It often occurred that the miserable convicts were kept in a state:of suspense for several months. Since the present Ministers have been in power, the Raconteur' has been ;ordered to make hi.

It is a curious fact, that the two Intendant Generals of Po:ice, who have lately wielded their dreadful I ower in Spain and Portugal, are now in London. M.

Mr. Geo. FRED. HERMES, of Fleet-maiktt, was elected unanimously as his successor. The Alderman appointed Mr. CROOK, the senior Common Councilman, Deputy, in place of the deceased, whom he highly eulogised. The Ward mote passed a Resolution expressive of their respect for his memory, and ordered it to be framed and presented to Lis widow by a deputation. Wednesday last, the Egyptians who were intrusted with the care of the cameleopard, lately brought to this country as a present to his Majesty, were forward ed in a carriage from the Royal Lodge to London, and on Friday afternoon embarked at Deptford, on their retain to their native country. They expressed great regret on leaving England, as the most kind atteerion has been paid to them since their arrival in this coun try, particularly during their residence at Cumberland Lodge, where they fared sumptuously every day, being' allowed wine for dinner and supper, as they would not, or could not drink beer. Dr. SLOANE was*Secretary to the Royal Society at a time when Sir ISAAC Nawron was Presideat ; and the Council sheaved their sense of his merits, by expelling Dr. WOODWARD for insulting him while reading a Taper. It was alleged it WOODWA Rea behalf, that he was a good natural philosopher. Sir I. Newton, who was in the chair, observed w.th more point than was u.ual with him, that " in cider to belong to that Society, a man ought to be a tv.od moral philosopher as well as a natural one." Mr. LIDDELL, Governor of Preston House of Gorree !mil, has been discharged by the Lancashire Magistrates. Amongst his enumerated offences were—" habits of in t( x , calioe—serving out "raw beef" to the prisoners— and "playing at cards with a convicted prisoner." The great elm tree under which the renowned Wu. P . mot made his treaty with the Indians at Shackamaxon, m the year 1682, became celebrated from that ttme.— When in the American war the British General &moots was quartered at Kensington, he so respected it, that upon his soldiers culling down every other tree for 6re wood, he placed a sentinel under this memorable tree, that not a branch of it might be touched. In 1812 it was blown down, and its trunk was then split into wood, *ad cups and other articles were made from it, to be kept as suemot Ulu his lost .ite nd g ig r tyt 3A the an ;on ite IUBUN, OCT. 5. At three o'clock yesterday the Marquis Wzr.utst.avl and suite arrived at the Castle from the Viceregal Lodge in the Phenix Park. His Excellency appeared to be in good health and spirits. ' The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor was honoured with an audience, after which his Excellency, having transacted some-business with. die Right Hon. Mr. LAMB, and the AT-Toasty , and Sakicaoa GINERAIA, retired, from the Castle at four o'clock. His Excellency has been for the last few days remaining at the Viceregal Lodge, to receive the Marquis Douao (eldest son of the Duke of WELLING TON), whose arrival in this city has been hourly ex pected. REPRESENTATION OF THE COUNTY OF Coaz.—Mr. WRIXON Beactrze, Messrs HYDE, senior and junior, of Castle Hyde, are ill named for the vacancy in the Re presentation of the. County. Mr. MARSHALL, in his evidence before the Commit tee of Emigration, states, that on his property in the county of Kerry, which was very much over-peopled, he gut rid of upwards of 1,100 individuals, and had still sufficient ; and he gives the proportion that the numbers on one estate he had bore to the size of the estate, which was two souls to every arable acre. It becomes our melancholy duty to announce another murder in adJition to the many horrible murders that hive already been perpetrated in the County of Tippe rary, and which is, unhappily, connected with the hor rible murder of the late Mr. Chadwick.4t was rumoured, that immediately after his conviction, and while leading from the dock, the guilty. Grace said, that before May ,Day every person that bad a hand in his conviction. 'would be shot. If he made this declaration, hisl prediction is being fulfilled. As three brothers of Philip Mara, who had the honesty and manliness to prose , .cute one of the murderers of the late Mr. Chadwick, and an apprentice, were returning, about seven o'clock in the evening, from their work (being masons employed in building the ominous Police station at Rathcannon), they were waylaid bY thel-2 armed ruffians,not at all dis guised, who fired on them from berind a ditch, between the plies whore Mr. Chadwick was murdered, and the cross-roads at Ilournacroosna. The shots did not take effect. Two of the brothers immediately ran off in the. direction of Holy Cross, and the apprentice made off, and pursued his way to the intended barrack Co lor tonately, Daniel Mira, the third brother, took refuge in the house of cite Kennedy, which was close by. The murderous ref Ins hawing seen him enter, immediately proceeded to the house, smashed the windows, and broke open the door. As soon as they entered they seized their unfortunate victim, in the midst of Kennedy's family, and shot him dead, thus effecting their horrid and murderous purpose in the face of a whole family, and in the midst of a village. The murder of this unfor tunate but honest man was effected almost in the centre of three police stations—via. at Ratbcannon, BrasforJ, and Holy Cross. The audacity of the murderers w as only to be equalled by their sanguinary dispositions.— Cork Conaliiution. THE A.R.

He has declared, and be acts rigidly op to the declaration, that no claims for promotion, on the ground of priority, shall be set' vide, however powerful may be the influence and patronage used for that purpose. Thursday the 64th Regiment arrived in Cork from Gibraltar, and proceeded the following day on their route to iiuttevant.

The 2d division of the same corps will wive to-morrow, at the Tower, from Ireland. The depot of the 69th Regiment of Foot marched thi ruing front the Tower to Fenny Stratford, to embark there on rd ca nal boats for Liverpool, on route to Ireland. It having been stated that the 22d Regiment suffered materially by fever since their arrival at Jamaica, we have now much pleasure in stating the contrary as the fact, as appears by the following let ter, received at our office on Sunday dated July 25:—" We ha►e had Dot one death by kart since our arrival iu Jamaica; both offi cers and men never enjoyed better health; not a single officer sick, and fewer men in Hospital than is usual for a Regiment on the home service.

Thursday last,,Elns Henri, and his brother Philip, the former aged twenty, and the latter eleven, went out fishing in a small boat in St. Brelade's Bay, Jersey. The wind blew fresh from the South, and the sea was very rough. Early on Friday the father, uneasy at the long absence of his sons, went out on the beach, and saw them in the boat, not far distant from the harbour, rowing with all their might, endeavouring to reach the shore, but all their efforts were fruitless, a heavy sea broke over their little skiff, and completely engulphed them in the sight of their unhappy father, whose cries for assistance were in vain, as his own means wese ineffectual. His feelings on such an occasion may be imagined—to describe them is impossible. The bodies have not yet been found. • • II 8 .. PORTING INTELLIGENCE: . .• , • --...7—,_ • - ~.

The umpires, were Polkinghot ne, the Cornish champion, and Saun ders, a veteran wrestler, noted in his day. Thirty.sit standards were made, among whom were fludda, Clemence, Warren, Fox, Meaghei,Trembath, and many others of credit and renown. After a Severe contest of three days, the first prize of 12 sows. was awarded to Clemence, of St. Just ; the second of seven saes. to Warren, of the same parish ; the third of four sows. to Trigging, also of St. Just ; the fourth of two sows. to Berryman, of Trevietinack ; the fifth a gold laced hat to W. Bodda, of Crowan ; the sixth a silver lactd bat, to M. Mathis, of Crovian. Nothing could exceed the good conduct of the men throughout, and we hail this exhibition as the forerunner of the public' revival of tls.s admirable branch of athletic science in Cornwall, which has been so celebrated for its powerful wrestlers from time Immemorial. Ocr. 4.—The Earl of Frve has arrived in Edinburgh, from the seat of Sir WlLusts Eworr, Bart. at Stobs Castle.—Dr. SARUM and Mr. Dawson, who were recently . so severely hurt by beteg thrown nut of a gig, as formerly stated, are both recevering_up ; but their unfortunate companion, Mr. WILLi&lt &moos, tailWyesterday morning of locked jaw, brought oa him by the injuries he received on that occasion. On a grave-stone in one of the Church-yards in the Medea Athens, is the following truly classical epitaph ; Here lies two brothers, By misfortunes surrounded-- Doe died of his wounds, And the other was dsowndass‘ The story whiclll);;Venin;liingtTserooni of the Pa. pets, of the Duchess of St. ALIA N . 11,. when Miss MELLort, giving away her fl innel petticoat in charity, is not new ; though we are uncertain whether the writer of the para graph was the plagiaiist of Rousseau', or the lady the imitator of the fair D'EPINA Y.

This is finer than the English story, which presents only a naked fact to our admiration ; for we are not told that the person on whops Miss M [LION'S " well-nited" petticoat descended, either shed tears, or himed . the ample gift.--Atka. GLOUCESTER, 06.ossatt A. wiairom ninDwg•itloll.-•:.-iresterday evening; be: •ween seven and eight o'clock, some,of, the police of= cers recogniied a man Passing by the Tolsei, as one of the most active leaders of the rioters at the Bri,fge gatd on Monday week, and instantly to k him into custody and lodged .him in the Tolsey. The apprehension of this man, who is one of, the stcne masons envloyed at 'Over Bridge, soon reached the k• owledge of his cOm pan'ons, who instantly gathered in crowds ?bout the Cross, using the most threatening language, and swear ing they would tear out the windows of the Tolsey and have him out. Amongst ate most violent of these the officers cb:erved one man, who hid also been very conspicuous in the late riot, and he was also taken into custody, and' on his person a bludgeon of most for midable weight and substance was found Concealed. This served to inmate the •demonstrati .n of re; sistance to the civil power to such a deiree, that the officers at length Fairly stated to Aldermen Jonet and Price their inability to cnr.vey the two prisonersAd gaol without risking their lives. Under these circum stances the Mafyistiates applied to Captain Eton of the 7th Dragoon Guards, for the presence ,of his troops. This request was complied with in the most piomvi manner, and in the course of a few m.notes the whole of the Officers and men turned nut, m ,, unted-and fully caps-isoned. On the troop being formed in front of the-Tolsey, Alderman Jones entreated the -crowd to disperse, and directed the police to d.) t'•eir duty, and convey the prisoners to the ci•y gaol. This order was quickly obeyed ; and though on turning the corner of the street a rush was made by the mob, and a cry of rescue attempted to be raised, yet the presence of the military, who immediately Mowed the pessccomilaius. checked any further. violence, and the prisoners were safely lodged' in gab!: The cavalry 'were'afterwards dismissed, and returned to their quarters, after which the crowd dispersed. WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.• Yesterday a numerou* and respectable Meeting of Gentlemen and LaAes took place at the Infint S:hoot Vincent-square, Westminstei, to witni•ss the yearly ex amination of the children ; among *horn we observed . Mr. B. Smith, son of the Member f , ir Norwich, Mr. 2a. chary Macaulay, Dr. Pinkard, Mr. Wilson. M.P. &c; It was, indeed, a highly interesting and gratifying sight, to see upwards of a !Attached children of the poorer classes, from the age of eighteen months to 'six years, decently dressed, observing the greatest order,' and doing every thing they were aished to do; :Moody without compulsion. but even without the ap pearance of obedience—with gladness beatoinn 'b in their countenances, and in the midst of smiles and mirth. Such' f them as were capable* of understanding the .questions which were put to them seemed all eagerness that they should he qiiesti ,, n d.; and the tr:Aster, Mr. Mote, examined, tint like whet A schoulmister is con ceived to be, or even like a parent, or one clad with the least authority, but as a play-fellow, or a parson en deavouring only to amuse. • The children were seated on benches, 'one rising labove another in an amphitheatre ; the youngest on the lowest benches, and the eldest on the highest. The master, in his questions, elicited the results of their own reflections and reasoning poivers, ra ther than led, at least apparently, or to their perception led, them in any re spect. He did not even put to them what lawyers call leading questions, or at least did not incline, by the man ner of pultiug the question', to one answer ra her than to another. Ile fiat esarrtirreJ them in tie Ten Corn reandments, in which they ans•vrred in general with ex actness. He questioned hem irrAddition and Subtrac tion, and continued as - king the ciliation:, and showing; wooden balls, till they made out the right answers. He put s ime questions on the formation of figures, as squares and circles, and solicited their understandingi, till they told him how to form them. an.l to divide them into halves and quarters. He led them through ceitain easy exercises of the hands and arms, in which most of them showed themselves as expert as the best disciplined regiments in their evolutions. The very youngest in• (ants seemed zealous to imitate their elders. They were also examined by some Gentlemen of tie Meeting, and the answers of some of them evinced great ingenuity and acuteness. In the pl.iy-yard are comm. niences 14 some easy gymnastic exeitiscis, and such of the children as are old and strong enough to lase them practise at them as long as they wish: On the walls are written such short sentences as the following 14-:' Gymnastic exercises promote health and strengtheit the nerves;" ,, By mutual kindness 'we ate made happy;' Peace be with us," &c. About four o'clock the examination terminated, and the company broke up highly delighted. There are at this time 86 males and 5 females. ender sentence of de th in Newgate, all of whom were con victed at the last Old Bailey Sessions. The number would have been much larger. but for the alteration which took place in consequence of the late Act, which now makes it a cal.itvl offence to.steal in a dwelling , house to the value of 51.—the amount before was 40s. Saturday last a fine boy, about ten years of age,-the son of a Gentleman, who was standing in conversation with a friend in Regent -street, got hold of the back part of an errand cart that was dawn up close to- the foot pavement, and while his father was engaged, amused himself by swinging backwards and forwards, his legs occasionally going under the body of the cast, nhese 'there was a large mastiff dog chained, and which sprang at the youth, and seizing him by-the calf of the leg, bit it completely through, but fortunately did not tear the flesh ,off; the child was immediately conveyed in the arms of a man to a neighboot ing surgeon covered with blood, and the proper application( made to to wouna.
