bRUPYLA NE THEATRE. This Theatre was lighted up last night, and thrown 4en to a numerous party, welcomed by a military band, and who not only enjoyed a sight of the novelties vitich the recess has brought forth, but also eiteicisell their various tastes in discussing the merits of certain ss hies, and s divers other refreshments, about which there seemed to he but one unanimous favourable opinion, although they were freely cut up by almost everybody present. With regard to the improvements, the first icka that presents itself to the mind is the difficulty of im proving Drury. Lane such as it was lest season. This, however, has certainly been effected in the ceiling. A large quantity of gold ornament has been advantage ously added, and the lustre has undergone alterations about which there will be a variety of opinio.ss. In the scenic department there are two new drops of great beauty and met it. The one is the joint proetiction of NIA RINA and STANtlein ; the other, we be lieve, is wholiy from the pencil of the latter Artist. who has distinguished himself beyond all his former efforts. The magnificence of the Saloon has been increased by the painting rf all its columns in imitation of marble, and al , o by the drapery painted in relief round the tops of its walls. About eleven o'clock the different patties collected in the Saloon, in which another band was stationed, to v:hose martial airs the company promenaded. Here edvindant refreshments, te,i, coffee, sandwiches, and wine v.e:e served. In the body of the House the visitors were a dn,itred, as if to an exhibition ; but here they were re ceived as the guests of Mr. Eeetsrox, and everything which could contribute to their comfort or entertain ment was most hospitably and comfortably provided. Mt:ic for quadrilles and country dances was not omitted, and in refined and social pleasures the night, and some hours of the morning, wore happily away. The Duke and Duchess of PORTLAND and family kr expected in a few days, at their teat, Welbeck, Nottingham s:nre, trom Scotland. The Earl and Countess of STANHOPE have arrived at :heir seat in Kent, from a tour. _ The Earl and Countess of SURREY have arrived at their seat, Worksop Manors, Notts, from a tour. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER arrived at his house in Downing-street, yesterday morning, from Charlton. The Marquis and Marchioness of LONDONDERRY ; Farl FIT:WILLIAM, the Earl and Countess of Haatwooo and Ladies Ltsccurs, Lord and Lady bloats-in, Sir "Vina.r.ssi ELLIOT, Ban. Sir Vinyard lscs.Est, Barr. Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Lawny's, at tired at York last week to attend the Musical Festival. Sir CHARLES and Lady LONG entertained his Excel kncy Baron Rum., and a distinguished party to dinner, yesterday, at their seat, Bromley Hill, Kent. Among the visitors to view Covent-Garden Theatre, en Friday night, were two nephews of General QUIROGA. The diamonds worn by the IVlarchionei.s of LONDON• PTART at the Doncaster Race Assembly, were estimated at thirty ti...and pounds. 111 r. ELLISTON has appointed Mr. BRANDON Director and Manager of all .the Private and Family Boxes in Drury_ Lane Theatre. We regret to learn that the body of Captain RostsoN, R.N. of Anstruther, was found drowned in the harbour of that place, on Wednesday last. An Exchange-broker's servant, hitherto reckoned pen- ATless, his bought a house in Paris for 200,000 francs. This for tune he has acquired by employing his trifling peculius► in slow but fortunate speculations in foreign funds. A sum of money has been sent by the Duke of Buck. fNGHAM to Colonel Bnowtiz, and the visiting Magis trates of Aylesbury, for the purpose of liberating the i debtors confined in Aylesbury jail. Pursuant to the in tention of his Grace, two of the debtors have already been liberated ; but difficulties have arisen in negotiating with the creditors of some of the persons confined, which will, perhaps, retard their liberation. However, by judicious management, his Grace's donation will ultimately procure the enlargement of every debtor now confined in that jail. A futther dividend of 3s. 4d. in the pound was last week declared of the estate of the Portsmouth Bank.— No less a sum than .£25,000 has been proved since the first dividend, which comes in for the first as well as the second, making together 10s. in the pound. • Letters from St. Petersburgh of tht 30th of August, mention, that the Capitalists had swept the market of 2300 casks of tallow, at 120 rubles per cask, which is five rubles dearer than the last account. In the American papers is a decision by a Judge of that country, of some importance in an international point of view, on the props iety of surrendering a person who has fled for refuge into a foreign Stake, on the perpe tration of an o ff ence in his native land. The case is that of Edward Short, an Irishman, accuseclof a murder committed in the county of Tyrone, and thrown into prison on the application of a private prosecutor in the territories of the United States, The Judge determines that the accused shill be set at large ; but there per vades the whole speech, which comes: to the conclusion, Much legal knowledge and good sense. He esteems the stirrender of a prisoner, whenever it takes plate, as batter of comity, in this agreeing with the opinion of the most respectable of our own Judges. Saturday the 13th inst. Mr. Welch, of the Plymouth Inn, Fore -street, Dock, being in the Sound shooting tells;.a rope, by accident, caught the trigger of his gun, which exploded, and lodged the whole contents in his thigh. Being brought on shore, medical assistance was ptomply afforded, and the violent hemorrhage stopped; but mortification being expected to ensue, his thigh was amputated on Friday last, but the operation having been too long delayed, he survived it but a few hours. Dey Rosneu.—Saturday afternoon, as two young Ladies of fashionable appearance were taking an airing in Hyde-park, in the company of their mother, near the .- , erpentine River, two fellows of decent appearance, who had followed them for some distance, advanced towards them : they not having the least suspicion of theft intention to rob them, continued to walk on ; but one of the fellows rushed on one of the young Ladies, and seized her reticule, which he endeavOured to extri cate from her grasp. She, however, kept tight hold, and the chain broke; on which the villains made off as fast as possiblo with thiir booty. The young Ladies Were greatly alarmed, but their mother, with more pre sence of mind, pursued them with the cry of " Stop thief !" but nobody was within hearing ettept the rob. hers, who made their escape. Fortunately just before the robbery took place the young Lady had given to her mother what property of value the reticule contained, and the thieves did not profit much by their depredation. Monday mot ning (or the preceding evening) three stacks of peas were set on fire in Bening, Cambridge shire, the property of Mr. W. Bryant, and entirely con sumed. The perpetrator is ai yet undiscovered. When PA RSONS, the great comic actor,died o CHARLES DOOM produced the tisllowing extempore: " At the death of poor Ttirksti, Mirth's favourite eh:hi, 'Tveiat the two tweak Moses, what hope& and what testi! then he heaved'his last sigis, sad Drepoowtsfsniirdi Aid lortln If hatiittegou to shcd :Me."

The Middleton, Reid, of Aberdeen, arrived there the 21st inst. with 15 fish, a full ship; and en Tue sday, the Bon Accord, Par ker, with 34 fish, also full; 700 butts, supposed to produce '260 tuns of oil. Captain Parker left the ice the Ist September, at which time the Alexander, Picket, and Middleton, Cargill, of Aberdeen, were both full ships. The Alpheus, Duncan, is arrived at Peterhead with 27 fish, 180 tuna; the Dexterity, Robertson, 35 fish, 200 tuns; the Hannibal, Robertson, 2$ fish, 210 tuns; and the Resolution, Philip, 26 fish 220 tuns. Several vessels have also passed through Aberdeen Bay to the southward, in the course of the week, from whom we learn; that the fishing at the Straits this season, has been the most successful of many years past. No accident had happened up to a late date; and" all the ships were well fished. MONTROSZ, Seer. 27.—We do not recollect a more cheering sight than was witnessed here on Monday morning. All our three Davis' Straits whalers appeared in the bay early that morning, and it was soon circulated through the town that they were all bumper ships. It will easily be conceijed what joy this intelligence spread among the numerous families interested. The following is a list of vessels reported : Eliza, Swan, 33 fish; Monarch. 26 fish ; London, 23 fish. They are supposed to produce about 1808190 tuns of oil each. Tray LATE GALES.—The late equinoctial gales have greatly impeded the intercourse between Dublin and the ports of Liverpool and Holyhead. The Belfast (which is the best sea-boat out of Liverpool) sailed on Saturday at six o'clock,l.. st. for Dublin, but some part of her machinery failing, she put back, and her deck and cabin. passengers embarked on board the Mountaineer on'Sun. day, at four P. N. the wind blowing strongly from the westward. She did not leave Liverpool until Monday, at seven A.N. when from the head wind and heavy sea, the Captain very properly made the bay of Beaumaris, where he landed his passengers for the night, and pro, I ceeded at seven on Tuesday for Dublin ; but which he did not make until two, A. M. on Wednesday. The St. George sailed on Sunday from Liverpool, at one P.M. but was obliged to put back, and come to anchor (on Account of her depth in the water) down the river. She weighed again on Monday, at nine, P. M. and proceeded with some difficulty to Ddnleary, which she reached on Tuesday morning, Dublin Freeman's Journal, Sept. 26. A letter received yesterday from Cadiz, dated the sth of September, states, that the disposition then existed to make a capitulation, if terms consistent with the honour of the Government and the troops could be obtained. At that time reliance was confidently placed in the me diation of England, for effecting an adjustment honour able to the besieged ; but should that ill-founded expect ation fail, it was their determination to hold out to the last extremity. Up to the 30th June, according to advices from An tioch, shocks, of earthquakes continued to be felt almost daily throughout 4yria which in some instances had done vast damage. This, however, was not the whole of the evil with which this unhappy country was visited. The rainy season generally begins in December, and continues, with some interruptions, till the end of March; but from March to October it is very seldom that a drop falls. During the last week of May and the whole of June, it had rained violently withbut intermission, and torrents pouted from the mountains. The Orontes had overflowed its banks, inundated the fields, and swept away men and cattle, the harvest in the fields, and that already housed, trees, houses, &c. Above 1,000 persons have perished. To fill tip the mtasute of misfortune,. the plag%e has broken out at Beirut. The Dublin Correspondent of Saturday, states, that one of the persons arrested for the murder of the Franks family has turned approver. This is the younger Shee han who sat in conclave when their doom was sealed, but who denies having been inside the house when the murdercus edict was executed. Through his informa tion six persons have been arrested. The female clothes in which the ruffian leader was disguised have been se cured, and found stained with the blood of the victims. • In New Hampshire (United Szates), where the pope lation amounts to 250,000 persons, an anhtial sum of about 9.5,000 L sterling is paid in support of charity schools. Qua:ls are very rare in China ; they are bought not only for the table, but also to be trained for fighting ; the Chinese, being as fond of this sport as many in our country are of cock-fight ing. When one of the combatants has lost his eyes, the owner of the other sweeps the stakes. The great foot-rate took place on Friday, at West Bromwich, between Sam Bedoe, i native of the country, and JaMes, Ben Burns' man; for 200 sovereighs. Bedoe took his ground at start ing. At 140 yards Bedoe *as sit a-head, James baying lost two yards in the start. When near home he wail within four yards of his adversary, but he could not head him, • and be attributed the lots of the rite to a slip. Bedoe, the winnet, did his grotind within 21 seconds. Our Correipondent, i Birmingham man, adds, is your reko in St. 011ees are playthings of vulgarity to what was trete wild nested. The eollieti and women spit in the face of James in running, which We were Otis 41hamed of." Anothct Match, made it the same time, bet Ween the lame peat triank for tee like tuns, will be tun this day, twenty miles froth Lon; duis. Jail eves 10 /sr& ict M. Five to (Our an Janet. Ttl Atutt . - - •• . • Yesterday Sir llza=ziki Tavioa held a Levee, as Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief, tt his °like is the Horse Guards. The t'd (or the Queen's Royal) Regitnent of Foot, which re ceived some time b ac k a n o rd er to prepare for embarkation for India, but which order has been subsequently countermanded, will not, it is now understood, proceed to its destination till the Spring. The instruction in the improVed system for the Arrity, of the various detachments of Non-commissioned Officers belongink to several Regiments of Infantry, which, in.pursuance of previous or ders, have arrived at, and are stationed in, the Magazine Barracks in Hyde Park, commenced this morning in the Queen's Riding house at Pimlico. IMPROVEMENT IN THE PLATOON EXERCISE. A most material improvement in the Platoon Exercise has been recently made, and is now practised by the Coldstream Guards. According to the old regulation for the performance of the Pla toon Exercise, after the priming and loading is effected, the firelock is shouldered, and upon the word of command, " ready," being given, the soldier brings his firelock to•the recover and cocks, and re mains in that position till be receives the word "present," when he levels his piece at the supposed object to be fired at. Instead of adhering to this system, the improved method pre scribes that the firelock, after being loaded, should not, preparatory to its being fired, be brought to the shoulder, nor subsequently to the recorm , but should, by a brisk motion, be brought close to, and across the body, to the charging position, and when the soldier re ceives the command, "ready, ' he is to cock his piece in the same position, and after receiving the word, 4 present," he is to elevate his firelock and take aim, before, by the command " fire," he dis charges his piece. The advantages possessed by the new over the old system, must be obvious to every military man. By the improved method, just ness of level, quickness of fire, and consequence of execution (no mean objects) are demonstratively secured. The motions of the Platoon Exercise, by the omission of the shoulder and recover, are shortened; the exactness of aim by the abandonment of the constrained position of presenting from the re cover, and the adoption of the natural attitude of the experienced fowler, of raising his gun to cover his object, is incontrovertibly established, and the practical effect of both combined, against an opposing enemy, gosverfully-illustrated. The St. Petersburg Court Gazette of the Sth of Sep tember says, that in the month of July immense swarms' of linnets appeared in the Government of Woronesk they came from the country of the Don Cossacks, and committed great ravages on the standing corn, but the speedy and effectual measures of the Magistrates soon obliged them to retreat into the Steppes of the Don. TALMA is at Brussels, where his acting in the part of 'she French version of the Stranger (Misantropie et Re pentir) is said, by the papers to have produced a great sensation. The King, Queen, and all the Royal Family of the Netherlands were present, and took great interest, in the performance. After the representation, Talmo I was called for, and obliged to re-appear on the stage, and receive the congratulations of the audience. A Madame RIQUIER was the Mrs. Haller, and she shared in the applause bestowed on TALMA. FlRE.—Friday night, the 19th instant, the lesser of the three cloth•mills belonging to Messrs. Austin, situ ated at the back of their country-house, in the town of Wotton-under-Edge, caught fire and was burnt to the ground. Great presence of mind was shewn by some of their neighbours, in cutting off the means of corn• munication with other parts of the premises, or the con flagration might have been much more ruinous. The amount of property destroyed is estimated at about 10,0001. which was insured in the Norwich Union Office. The improvements and repairs in Winchester Cathe dral are proceeding rapidly ; they have already occu pied five years, and are expected to be completed in one year more.. The whole of the nave will be repaired ; the skreens which obstructed an entire view of the side aisles, from east to west, are removed, so as to give the whole length. The gilt wood skreen, formerly at the table, is also removed, and will be supplied by a fretted skreen of stone, with niches of Gothic ornaments. The services are now performed in the Chapel at the east end of the choir. All the tombs are kept in good preservation, and some highly decorated, for which pur pose peculiar endowments were formerly made. The ancient font in the nave is still preserved in its place; it is large enough for the entire immersion of an infant, which therefore evidences its high antiquity. FORGERY—A young man, named William Burnet‘, has been committed for trial at the next Assizes for Hants, on two several charges, of uttering forged cheques upon the Bank of Messrs. Grant, of Portsmouth. It appeared, on his examination, that he lately arrived from Plymouth, in company with a female, to whom he had been married about a fortnight, she having had only three weeks previous knowledge of him. They took lodgings at the Still public-house, on the Point, and one of the cheques for five pounds was uttered to the land lady, in payment of his bill, and the other, for twenty pounds, to Mr. Smithers, silversmith, at Portsea, in pay ment of a gold watch, chain, and seals. The cheques were signed with the name ' 6 A. Hitchen." Another cheque, fur ten pounds, was tendered to Mr. Lewis La zarus, pawnbroker, Portsea, for a gold watch, but Mr. Lazarus talking about sending it to the Bank to be cashed, the prisoner discovered so much confusion in his manners that Mr. Lazarus was induced to watch him, which led to his apprehension. When the prisoner was taken into custody, he had a pistol loaded with ball in his pocket, and another, also loaded, was found in his trunk. There was also found in his possession, a cheque for three thousand pounds upon the Swansea Bank. He stated that he had gone to Portsmouth, to proceed in the first ship going to Van Dieman's Land. He is a very tall man, of good address, and apparently from the North Country. The young woman he married is about to return to her friends, being left wholly destitute. He represented to her that he was going to Van Dieman's Land in the mercantile line. A highway robbery was committed on Wednesday - evening, a short distance from Reading, attended with circumstances of great cruelty. An orphan boy, named Thomas Church, who resides with some friends at Read ing, was returning to that place in the evening ; he was stopped at Blake s Bridge by two fellows who seized him by the arms, and, stopping his mouth, dragged him for some distance down the tow path on the bank bt the river ; they then threw him on the ground, and kneeling upon him, one of them with a knife, cut open his pockets and took what they contained, consisting of• a watch and some little money. They also took his hat and neck-handkerchief, and not content with' the robbery, they beat and kicked the poor lad in the most savage manner. They then left him, and he with some difficulty reached Reading. Information wiW given to Holyland, the chief police constable there, and from the description given by the boy, he thought the robbery must have been committed by two fellows of the names of Hanson and Goodyear, who were that morning discharged from the prison at Reading, to which they had been committed as rogues and vaga bonds. He ket off in pursuit - of them, and apprehended Hanson, who had the boy's watch in his pocket. Good year effected his escape, and has since been traced to have come as far as Kensington by a• London stage coach. Hanson was tally committed for trial 4; the next Berkshile Assizes. • SPORTING INTRLLIGRkCE. • 1 BETTINC-BOOM, TATTERSALL'S, SEPT. 29. Tattersall's Subscription Room was opened as usual, but few of its members attended, which, ot course, cannot arise from any other motive than the absence of betting.meri now at Nevrtharket First October Meeting. There were no engagements worth noticing made on any Races to come ; and the state °ldle otkls on the Derby and Oaks will be found in our Newmarket ieeounts of this week.

Barefoot, the winner of the above Stake, was bred by Gilbert Crompton, Esq. of York, and was the joint property of Richard Watt, Esq and himself, at the time of starting for the &. Leger Race. Tramper and Marion were also bred by Mr. Crompton, and were joint property. Amongst the hones entered for this Race was one named Brigh ton, the property of a dealer in this town. The odds spinet him were about one thousand guineas to eighteen-pence ; and as, some days before the race, he was known to be very lame, many bets were laid that he did not start. A certain set took the long odds on this event, and having, in various instances, got as much u fifty to one bet, they contrived to get him sent over to Doncaster, in tending to take in the flour, by starting him at all events. Not one of the jockies, however, would condescend to ride him, and he was bestrode by a stable-boy in jack-boots. Yet, in the false start, he actually beat the once favourite Tinker; but when another start was ordered, from some, cause or other, which we have beard differently stated, he was not brow ht on the Coax in time, alml therefore did not start. Thtil the who had planned so neat a trick for their neighbisurs, ifreie caught in their own trap, and have had to " fork out the bigot,' instead of °poaching la." (AfancksalerVistirslion).
