COVEAT-GA RDEN THEATRE. Last night The Woodman was performed, with some changes in the representation of the characters, and additions to tile lyric department of the piece, which alto; ether served to augment, in no slight det:ree, the attractions that belong to this interesting Opera. Miss STEVENS appeared for the first time in Emily, and not only sung the airs allotted t her with the pathos and sweetness characteristic of their composi tion, and to which her fine voice is well calculated to give the true effect, but performed-with the delicacy and propriety which is dramatically due to the ami able part the had to sustain. SiNciaktit Fei formed 1."1.:fi,r,/, and was loudly applauded in " the streamici," other airs. The duet, " Tur , ether kt us rar:ge the ji,;(ls," sung by him and Miss STEVENS, ° had a most ciL.rining effect. NIT. INC LEDON the original Captain liTford, for the fig st time, assumed the eh aracter of Fairlop, the Wood plan. He executed his songs with great force and spirit. The a'r, " well-a-day," particularly the latter put of it— ,‘ My ta.ixim is to du my best To render all around me 2114,h mote—a /,!Arse •zmn,er!" was giv•m with uncommon effect. it was marked by a fine vein of natural feeling; and the audieucc. when they encored it, paid as gi..:at a compliment to their own juc!fy,;uent as they did to the abilities of the singer. IXcLEDoN also introduced the following Sung; the music of which is pleasing and appropriate. It was r eceived with much applause By fair and honest means I strove To keep at ease my liomay heart, By day and night in doing Fight, Sure of a l'uovineNcr Awry; Who kindly takes thc poor win's part. What more is wanting, to remove Atiliotion from this homely heatt, BLt day and night to do what's right, sure of Pitovrossica above, kindly take the poor matt's part ? All the other performers supported their parts ably. FAWCETT in Sir Waller Waring, EMERY in Bob, arid BLANCHiRD in Medley, played with . real comic !tu rn Air. TAYLOR was the representiye of Captain O'Donnel, and the national song of k The_Slieunroci," produced its usu3l eilect on the feelings of the audi. e ice.

CORONER'S hoourr.—On Tuesday an Inquisition was held at the parish of St. Botolph, Aldgate, on the body of Thomas Smith Cook. From the evi dence, it appeared that the deceased was a Gentleman from the country, who being in liquor associated himself with a girl of the town, with whom he went to the house of a Jew in St. Catherine's-lane, on Fri day night last. After taking some supper he was following the girl into her sleeping-room, when he fell down the narrow stair-case, and pitched on his head. With the help of the girl and his host he was got up stairs again, undressed, and laid in bed. when he desired to be let alone, saying, , 4 he should do well er...11 8 11 now." Thi young woman was with him all r.;ght, but he neither spoke nor stirred, and in the t;:iog was found in a dangerous state, when sure hcal aid was called in, but too late. On openi ng t h e ead alter death, an extensive fracture was found on the right parietal bur.e, and the brain I.r.t!ed with ex travasated blond from the ruptured vessels, which caused his death. From the nature of the case, the discussion took up several hours, and three medical men were examined ; the other witnesses were of the lov.est order; ar.d as some suspicion of unfair pro ceedings had be: excited, the house where the In quest was taken was thronged during'the whole day. It turned out, however, that no pail of the deceased's piopeny was missing, and the Jury, after a patient and laborious investigation, were couvinced that the deceased bad come to his death wholly by accident, wh:ch therefore was their verdict. ASSIZES. SURREY -XINCISTON MARCH 31. MURDER AT VAUXHALL. Charles Callaghan was this morning put, to the bar, on the charge of having murdered Moses Merry, the servant of Misses Gompertz, residing at Vauxhall, in December last. The particulars of this horrid mtirdet !Mist be fresh in the recollection of our Readers, particularly as Pai isle, the accomplice of Callaghan in this foul transaction, afterwards made such ample confessions before the Magistrates. But on this occasion an im mense body of the strongest evidence was adduced, independent of that given by the accomplice in thel murder and robbery. The Misses Gompertt, their servants, and others, were examined, as to the state in which the premises were found after the robbery and murder, and the articles left behind by the priso ner and his accomplice. It was proved that Cal laghan wore right and left shoes, and that one of the shoes left behind was his, and that it was one of the shoes of which be had robbed a shoemaker, who ap peared and identified the articles. A stick, afterwards found in the kitchen, was also traced to Callaghan.— In the t vening of the murder, Callaghan said to the people where - he lodged, who appeared as witnesses, that he and Parish lodged in one room together, that they were going either to the Surrey Theatre or Co- j vent Garden ; and he asked for a walking-stick ; the one in question, having a large head to it, was the stick which had been lent to Callaghan in consequence of his request. Benjamin Parish's evidence was similar to the con fessions whiclkhe made to the Magistrates; and which was published at the time, excepting the particulars of the manner in which he and Callaghan became acquainted. From his evidence, it appeared, that they made several observations on the appearance of the premises previously to entering ;—that they wrenched a lock from a garden gate, and aftera ards proceeded to the back windows ; and that they took off one of the shutters in order to take out a window to enable them to enter. Having entered, they pro. ceeded towards the kitchen, in which Merry slept, having previously struck a light by means of a steel and flint. Parish entered it, but was very much sur prised to find that some one was sleeping in it, as they had not calculated on any thing of the kind. Parish then returned to Callaghan, and some consultation was had as to the mode in which• they were to pro ceed. Callaghan desired Parish to go back and get the servant's watch, saying, that he would find it un der the pillow. Parish accordingly went, and while in the act of getting it, Merry stirred, and turned round, saying at the same time, 66 Hist, cat I" sup posing that what he had felt was from the cat jump ing on the bed ; but Merry *as rather too much dis turbed for tke security of these midnight ruffians, and lie began to rouse and make an alarm. Hearing this, Callaghan called out to Parish, 66 Give it to him, Ben!" meaning, fire at him, and' witness accordingly fired, not liking to disobey what he was desired to do; but instead of firiHg a the servant, then rising from red, he fired behind him, so as to miss ! After this, Merry-instantly made for the window, and began to raise an alarm, and to call for help. At this moment Callaghan rushed forward, and fired at Merry. This fire, according to this witness, was the effective one.- Merry fell without making any further noise, and -care-ly uttering a groan. They then decamped somewhat precipitately, taking with them but hale booty, only some spoons, &c. and instead of leaving the neighbourhood immediately, they bid for a stunt time in some unfinished houses, in order so elude search, if a cry should be immediately raised. They next went to their lodgings—afterwards pawned what they had stolen—and then went to Gravesend. In ciassequence of what they saw in the newspapers, they became very uneasy, and afterwards Parish made j his extraordinary confessions. From the evidence of others it appeared, that every possible search had i , een made about the kitchen :n which Merry was murdered, to discover the course which the ball from P.lrish's pistol took, as he had said-that it was not lie but Callaghan that fired the fatal ball; but not the least trace of any ball could be found I The ball which killed Merry WAS lodged in his body. Mr. Baron RICHARDS summed up the evidence with preat care and ability. The crime with which the' pi ismer stood charged was an enormous one, and it called loudly for vengeance. 'The evidence which had been adduced was of the fullest and strongest character, although that of Parish was peculiar and extraordinary. Where, however, his evidence was borne out by that of other witnesses, he ought to be believed, as if he were, what most assuredly he was not, an honest and a pure man. • His case had bee n supported by the clearest proof, so far as circuat stances went ; but as to the fact of the murder having been committed by Callaghan, that depended entirely 1 on the belief which the Jury gave to Parish's evi dence. It certainly was not a little remarkable, if Parish did really the his pistol Mind Merry—say ' against the wall—and not at him, that no trace of that ball could be found any where about the kitchen; and yet, though diligent search had been made, no trace of it could be found. Parish said, that his fire was purposely a useless fire; that a second pistol was discharged by Callaghan, and that such fire was the ' death of Merry. Now the ball which caused the death of Merry was found, it being lodged in the body; but it was not a little surprising, and certainly it me rited the serious notice of the Jury, that no trace of the ball, which Parish said be fired behind Merry, could be found. These, however, were matters for the consideration of the Jury. He had no doubt that they would display the same circumspection and judgment which he had found them to exercise ttroughout the Assizes. After a short consultation, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Baron RICHARDS (the prisoner not having said any thing as teihe sentence of death not being imme diately pronounced on him) then passed sentence, in very effective language, enlarging on the enormity and the peculiarly aggravated nature of the case. The prisoner was ordered for execution on Saturday morning, and advised to make the best use of ,the little time that was left for ... him in this world, as lie had no reason to hbpe for further mercy in this stage of his existence. Callaghan is to be executed in the front of the County Gaol, in Horsemonger-lane, Southwark. 1J11'1).

N 0 Disorders have contributed more essentially to destroy Hymeneal Happiness than those which are the consequence of unguarded pleasure. People of every la• k pay adoration to the Shrine of Wedlock, but where the Constnifi a has been tainttxl by Disease, ft renovation of stability is indispen sably requisite. Twenty years have we devoted our praciace to the exclusive treatment of the fonowiug Disorders, and the suc cessful result of our plan gives us additional ardour to oilpose, as far as we are able, the ravages.of those Complain' which are tie most important in the catalogue of Human inlirlaitiet. Aittr initiation into every branch, as Navy Surgeons, we formiel a wn:i, at an early period of eractiee, to rescue individuals from the ig norance of uneducated men, or the eqtrally dangerous erticipitancy of general Practitioners. The Disorders to the cure of which we have devoted our at• tention, compriet every specks of Venereal Infection; all kinds of Debility, whether arising from the habits of sellout bees, or the indulgencies of maturer age; that derangement of :he System in Women, which is called barrenmes or Sterility; Seminal Weaknesses, Gleets, Obstructions in the Urethra; as alo Strictures, whether recent or of long duration, and which have baffled the skill of other Practitioners, c.:e by our present improved plan or tterraent effectually and periea nently cured, without the ',divot sutEring the excruciating p.m' and alarming Hemorrhage which fn quently follows the plica time of the Lunar Caustic. In the course of our extensive eraetice in this metropolis, uumerous cases of STRICTURES have been and arc daily under our care, the total eradication of which is t!- feeted by a sate, certain, and expeditious mode of cure superior to any ether yet adopted. Tlw weakness, relaathion, and debi lity, proceeding front this coinoaiut are speedily rem:meal, and the Patient restored to sound and vigorous health. But where tl.e u. bility has for years caked, a proper perseverance its our restocriVe remedies Is indispensably requisite, to revivethe "'m ist:mg sparks of life, an d to r,•animate the constitution. Ni mei - taus Diseases are the result of ignorance ur haste in tke treatment of a simple Gonorrhea, and it not untrequ.intiy tear rens that the seeds of life are poisoned by the indscretinif o: an unguarded hour. By a superior method such complaints are easily cured; and even where others have failed, we trust that ve may presume to offer a raeLcal re-establishment. Few, hunt ever, are the cases of complicated distress in this disorder, com pared with the calamitous situation of men, whit, from an indul gence in a solitary vice, or the prevalent gaieties of a fa.bloaahle life, acquit e that state of debility which is die ucavo dable conse quence of suck pernicious habits.

N MURDER 1W iSSIII. • Friday night last, a little before twelve, the parish clerk of the village of Berden, in kssez, heard, While In bed, settle person break open his litde shoe tieker's shop, adjoining the house where he dWelt,llllll his father and mothers He immediately arose, called his father ; they Went down in their shirts ; the clerk was constable; be took with him his short staff, and at the door met two men in the act of carrying off two sacks of leather, boots and shoes, &c. He knocked one down instantly, and delivered him, to his father to hold on the ground, while he attacked the other, who was going off, but who seeing his comeanion down, and himself pursued, turned about, and fired a gun or pistol, ineffectually. The report made the feeble old man quit his hold ; the prisoner then arose and was going off; the clerk turned, ansl struck hint again, and kabkd him ; the other stepped back close to the clerk, and said--e now I will give it you," and im mediately put a gun or pistol close to his left breast; the whole charge of shot went in, through his lungs to his back ; he fell dead, motionless, and speechless.— The two villains went leisurely off, no per son Moonily arising from bed to pursue ! or even instantly to en quire, &c. although two or three families heard distinctly both dischargse . ! The thieves left behind them nothing that . yet promises to lead to a discovery ;—they left merely two old unmarked sacks, an old dark lanthorn, and a very old dirty hat. Vickery, and another officer, went from London on Sund.iy, to search, &c. but with little expectation of success; Friday night being dark, and the old people not being able even so much as to suspect any particular persons. who were, or could be, guilty of such horrid barbarity, AGRICULTUR4L REPORT for MARCH. Although so late a season for getting in Beans, great breadths have been sown within the last week, and . , from the kindly workiv of most soils, (in c-m -sequence of the frost, and the fine weather succeed ing,) with every prlspect of success. The Turnip fed off, ; worked equally well for Oats. Though the strc.g lands rem..'n toe: wet at present for general Ba-ley sowiT:, in rrost parts of Norfolk, all their spri•ig corn is got in. The young R a y, Grasses and Clove rs , though backward, are in gene ral good plants, and begin to rersh. Rye and Winter Tares likewise promise, if the weather continue mild, considerable feed in good time. What Turnips re mained sound, were preserved by the snow, so as to afford more sheep feed than could have been ex pected. Potatoes every where are getting in rapidly on tender soils. Clover Seed does not rise so well as was looked for, which has occasioned a considerable advance in that article. The Hay Markets of Lon. don continue at present without much advance, bat in distant counties, the prices are much higher, from the large quantities consumed by stock during the severity of the winter. The Meat Markets are higher, and likely not to drop for some weeks. Prime Beef, Mutton, and Pig Pork were never scarcer. Lean Stock ; of most kinds,remain at nearly the last month's prices, though the loss of lambs has been greater than almost ever known. The Wool Markets have had a arther advance. Horses of most kinds have expe rienced a fall of Ready 20 per cent. Tuesday se'nnight a very melancholy occurrence took place - at Kirkfielkl Bank, in consequence of the insufficient state of Lanark Bridge. Allan Bog,, gardener, at Sunnyside, while crossing it about nine o'clock at night, on his way home, stopped_out of' the horse track in the dark, and, at a plAce which is totally without wall or railing, fell down 28 feet to the channel of the Clyde. He was not immediately killed by the fall ; but, being unable to call for as- sistnnce, he was not discovered till next morning by , his children ; who had been out in quest .of him most of the night. He was still alive ; but so much hurt that he died in a few hours. He was a man' noted for his diligence and integrity ; and has left a wife and seven young children, who had no means of support but in his labour, and who are thus, by the unnzcountabl , .. neglect of a public road, left destitute. A fire broke out on Monday night in the house of Mrs. Kerne, 28, Dock-head, which damaged that and the one adjoining Mrs. K. was so dre.ciful:y burnt in attempting to extinguish the flames, that she expired shortly afterwards in extreme agony. A thriving plantation belonging to the town of Forres was set on fire on Wednesday se'nnight, by which shameful act about thirty acres of oak and other valuable wood, have been totally destroyed. On the evening of Saturday se'nnigLt, as Mr. Ed ward Rothwell, of Mains cotton.works, was proceed ing towards Carlisle, a b out eight o'clock, he was knocked down betwixt Gallow-hill and Bc:cherby. lane, by one or more persons, and robbed of two pocket-books ; one containing cash rotes amounting to £l4. 10s. the other, several pacers an,.: memo randums. A little before nine o'clock on Sand.ty se'r.nighz, it wap discovered that seven of the felclls confined in the newly-erected cells at Carlisle, had escaped ; the ptd locks which secured the (toots having been opened by some person from without, who ntubt have tntcted the precincts of the gaol by getting over the wall with wilich it is surrounded.
