THE WOOLWICH rALLY•X9 COACH. . . . TO THE It DITOIk OF TTIR STAIt. Sut—As many exaggerated reports have been given in the dif ferent Newspapers, of the accident that befell the Woolwich Tally-ho Coach, on Monday week last, I deem it a public duty to give ydu a true statement-of the facts, ai they occurred. The coach had stopped at the Green Man, on the top of the hill known by that name, while the man who attends the coach got down, by order of the coachmen, to slacken the curb of one of the wheel-horses: it then proceeded down the hill at a gentle pace, until about mid-way of the hill, where there is w sharp descent ; here the horses of their own accord went of at a rapid rate, but the - coachman managed them so well, that he cleared every obstacle, until the coach had arrived near the bottom of the hill, where the road may be fairly termed a hanging level, when a Gentleman sitting on the box suddenly taught hold of ' the reins, and pulled the horses and coach to the near side, into the gutter, which was the cause of the accident. The outside passengers all agree that no blame whatever attaches to the toachmari, and that all would have been well, but for the cir camstance above" allu.ied to. There were eleven passengers— only two inside, and nine out - ; seven of whom received injury, the remaining four escaped unhurt. Three or the seven are now recovered, and the remaining four are doing will. There was no person killed on the spot, as erroneously started; and, what is still more extraordinary, there was neither fractured bead nor broken limb amongst the whole of the passengers. . _ hope, in justice to all the parties concerned, and for the sa tisfaction of the Public in general, that you will ere this an early insert►on ; which will much oblige, yours, 80. Woolwich, Sept. 27. A CONSTANT READER. P.S. After I had written the above, I learned, with much satisfaction, that DAVIS, Esq. one of the Magistrates of the Hundred of Blackheath, at a Public Bench, held at the King's Arms Tavern and Royal Artillery Ilotel, Woolwich, declared, that the Officers of the Royal Artillery had waited upon him, to awe, that, after the strictest examination of all the circumsmices, they felt satisfied that no blame whatever attached to the driver, who was complimented on his good conduct.

The new Mari iac, , e Act seems not to be relished by the good ptople of Hertford ; the banns of two couple only having been published in All Saints Church since the Act being in force: both the men are in the House Correction, an.l the women in the Poor-house. Mr•. JOHN PATTERSON, farmer, at Troston, in the neighbourhood of Dumfries, was attacked near Big gar, on the evening of Wednesday se'nnight, and rob bed of 0150 and upwards. Mr. P. was returning from Edinburgh, where he had gone to dispose of his sheep, and had art ived at a belt of planting, about a mile beyond the town of Biggar, when three men darted fr. n. the side of the road, one of whom laid hold of hi , bridle, and demanded his money. Not much refilling this demand, Mr. P. endeavoured to defend himself, and with one stroke of his whip knocked the foremost villain down ; but the second robber immediately presented a pistol, which the un• fortunate man attempted to turn away, and in so doing received the contents in one of his hands.— From the nearness of the shot, one of his fingers was left hanging by the skin, and his hand was otherwise lacerated in a shocking manner. The robbers escaped. DuaLiN.—Monday, his Excellency the LORD LIEU TENANT was pleased to visit Wicklow Races. An immense assemblage, composed of all classes, from an early hour, were seen thronging to the race-ground. On his Exceilency's arrival he was greeted with that genuine warm-hearted reception which his presence tails not to command and excite as often as he appears in public. As his Excellency and suite approached the stand the band played GOD save the king, when a simultaneous cheering commenced,which lasted for some time, accompanied with the waving of hats, &c. the Ladies handkerchiefs were seen floating in every direction. His Excellency entered the stand amidst re peated cheers,w•here he remained some time,when he left the stand and walked among his countrymen,who eagerly thronged around him ; his Excellency shewed them every mark of attention and kindness. He was particularly attentive to the eldest son of our lamented countryman, Mr. GRATTAN, M.P. one of the Stew ards ; with this Gentleman he continued in conver sation for some time.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.

The preparations making for opening this Theatre are continued with the utmost activity; and if we may judge from the arrangements made and contem plated, the ensuing season will be worthy of the hal cyon days of 4‘ Old Drury," where GARRICE and &DOOM; trod. The audience part of the Theatre will he entirely new, at an expense of £13,000. The company includes Mesirs.KEAN, Dowrom, MUNDEN, BRAG AM, ELLISTON, TERRY, KNIGHT, FITZWILLIAIN, Co 'PM &c. and Mr. ELLISTON is in treaty with LISTON and YOUNG. Among the Ladies engaged are Mesdames GLOVER, DAVISON, and VILSTRIS ; Miss STEPHENS, Mrs. W. WEST; Misses KELLY, CURVET, POVEY, COPELAND, and the theatrical phenomenon, CLARA FISHER. The Ballet department will be under the direction of D'EoviLLe ; and it will be gratifying to English feeling that the Corps de Ballet (which is excellent) will be wholly English, including Mr. and Mrs. Norms, and Mr. and Mrs. OSCAR BYRNE. The whole Management of the Theatre will be confided Lc) Mr. T. Minim, whose talents and experience are a sure pledge of the spirit with which the whole will, be conductetl. HAYMARKET' THEATRE. That most eccentric and ingenious of Operas, The Beggars' Opera, was performed last night. Consider able expectation had been excited by Miss PATON'S previous success, and last night her first appear ance in Polly was to be sustained by a Macheath, the pupil of No CIANCHETTINI ; and the peculiar sweet ness and taste of whose singing had already attracted much a. tention in the amateur circles. The House was filled before the commencement of the Opera, and Miss I'AToN was received with great favour.— The singer is not much occupied during the earlier scenes. Peadiuns and his wife are then discussing their personal affairs with the grotesque and unspar ing satire a hich makes the supremacy of this 0 era. and Pay is only h fair figure standing between those two familiars of the dungeon. But she took advan tage even of the trivial song, Polly, you might have Loyd and kiss'd, and in a few cadences exhibited the power of her voice with a success to which there was nothing superior in her most ambitious skill during the night. This song, (f which the former half is sung by Mrs. I'eachurn, was twice encored. Her Oh, ponder well, an air of great beauty, was sung with delicacy and feeling, and much applauded.—Mnchenth was received by the audience in the most favourable manner. His figure is youthful, tall, and well formed : he has not yet acquired the confidence which is essential to grace in gesture, and his walk and attitudes exhibited for the moment some embarrassment. But the first tones of his voice satisfied the audience that they had before them that rare exhibition of the Stage, a true singer. His first song, which begins with " My heart was as free," gave striking proof of the richness, tenderness, and facility of his voice. This song was encored, and the second performance was even more fortunate than its first.— Then came the delightful old 'duet, Were 1 laid on Greenland's coast, which was encored. When the heart of a man is oppressed with cares, the song which allows the first opportunity for display among all the melodies of this most vocal of high.% ay men, was ad• mirably sung, and with a still more attractive evi ' dente of the feeling and expression of this touching voice. Oa the whole, we recollect no debutant who gave higher promise of mature excellence. This me lody too was encored. Miss PATON shared, and de served to share, the applauses of the night. Cease your funning, is the last of her important songs, and is the one by which the pretensions of the singer ate usually tried. She overcame its difficulties with dexterity, executed the whole crowd of cadences which the ex ample of Miss STEPRENS has made popular, shewed her capability of every shake and ornament of this most difficult melody, and was encored. The re maining airs and harmonies were sung with a truth and correctness that gave high gratification to the ear, and, with the able acting of the principal parts; completed one of the best performances that we have been indulged with for a long time. The name of the new singer is DAVIS. He is, we understand,. a 'moan of education, and he has altogether the appear ance of a man of cultivated society. His voice is un doubtedly of a fine quality, perhaps still impeded by the natural nervousness of unpractised appearance on the Stage, and perhaps still requiring some additional force for the formidable demands of theatrical singing. But from his youth, and from his tutor, everything may be expected, both in future volume and in finished taste. Ci ticurrTmit is already popular as a professor of the piano ; bis compositionsexhibit early elegance, and we shall expect to find him and his pre sent pupil contributing highly each to the fame of the other, Term-came forward to announce the rep& tition of the Opera, and the announcement was re ceived with loud plaudits.— Upon the whole we have the amigo* posed to easseatidate the Theatre upon the hues fit loot !dibes wirrhoent, sod io MON* the Public diet It feefti *see alike iiiimihisilehdri aria* IYet 4 all peillllloll tellegetasio. rii!bili) '3‘...‘ .

This morning the RacoaDaa passed the awful Sem. tence of Death "upon the following thirty-four Un happy criminals, viz: Richard Ifltford, for forgery ; William Adams, for totting and maiming; Samuel Wilson, and Isaac Knight, for horse— stealing ; William CaUaghue, for returning front transportation Marks Robinson, Joseph Mackrell, Thomas Hayes, Edmund Mustoe, James Simpson, William Williams, Joseph Williams, (brothers), William Cotbett, slurs Watson, Joseph Corbett, alias Watson (brothers), Frances Waddell; Mary Gingen; Daniel Caterell, John Brown, Alexander Brown, Frank Purdon, and John Bridgman, for telling in the dwelling-house • William Redding, Stephen Took, Joseph Pallier s Waiter Blanchard (a mere boy), and John Roberts, for burglary ; John Levy,, Robert Ramsey, James Gardnier, William Bright, George Wig. ' ginton, Thomas Gordon, William Milton, and Samuel Greets• wood, for highway robberies. The Rzconoen, in a most impressive manner, exhorted Mitford, and several of the other prisoners, to prepare themselves for the full execution of the law. One of the ill-fated waiters, recently drowned off Worthing, as stated in a former Paper, had in his pockets, when the waves overwhelmed him, cash and notes to the amount of thirty pounds, and in his fob a gold watch ; but when the body was picked up amongst the rocks, no part of the property was found about it. Wednesday sennight, a poor Irishman, of the name of George Sayer, was di , coverrd loitering in the streets of Dumfries, apparently in a dying state, and very humanely admitted into the Infirmary, where, although every attention was paid to his pitiable case, he soon became insensible, and expired on the fat lowing Saturday. Wednesday George Chandler and Isabella Coppock were convicted before N. FAMES and B. Assist, Esqrs. at South Shields, of perjury. It appears this loving couple, not relishing the necessity of having their names placed upon the church doer in their own parish, appeared before the Surrogate at North Shields, and took thei oaths of being inhabitants in that town, when. in fact, both of them resided in South Shields. Falun' Snuariata.—Tuesday evening, words running high be tween a you.ig married couple, in Backhouse-lane, Leicester. the wife took up a knife, and struck her husband upon the face . with it, and nearly deprived him of his &se, which hung awry. upon his face, and gave the poor fellow an unsightly appearance. "Ch, r'pentant fair one then ran.off for a surgeon, who soon re. stored the ornament to its usual position, by the aid of a needle and thread. • FATAL Accmarr.—.Yesterday morning, Mr. JOHN Sevres, a reap. efable gardener, residing at WaMans-Green, was unfortu nately thrown from his horse, and killed on the spot. MELANCHOLY Arm:arr.—Monday last the servant-girl at the Ship Inn, Bridgewater, was nursing her mistress's infant, about nine months old, and in going from the kitchen to the street door, her foot slipped; and she fell, with the child in her army" into a vat of boiling wort. They were tette from the vat by a feeble grandmother of the child, in the most agonizing state. Medical assistance was immediately procured, but the infant ex. . pired in about four hours.; and the servant-girl was relieved felon her sufferings about ten o'clock the following morning.
