J. Ossossu KIDNAPPING NEC ROES.— —The notorious Joseph Johnsou, who was so long concerned in the abominable traffic of kidnapping negroes, and conveying them out the State, and who, it will be recollected, we some time since mentioned had been taken, was nizci, and c. twitted at the last Session of the Court of Com mon Pleas, for the County of Sussex, and was sen tenced to receive thirty-nine lashes on the b.f. e back at the public whipping-post, to stand in the pillory for an how , to have his ears nailed thereto, and the tcrt part cut off.--Delaware Gazette, May 17. • • • THEATRES. . • • • , HATmappT.—A new Comedy Om the pet b f Mr. K away) was performed at this. Theatre lett. night, called Jake Buzzby J or, A Day's Pleasure, of which the following is a sketch of the Dramatis Persaiur and plot : John Buxxby Mr.TISZT Natty Briggs Mr. W. WM Major Aubrey... r. Youmans Julia Mrs. JOHNSTON Mr. Anderson... Mr. Fame/ran Cecilia .. Miss linvca Capt. Greville .. Mr. Joists Mrs.Buzzby Mrs. PEASCIS Capt. Maitland... Mr. Jointsow Jenny Mrs.Cm.serznair. Single Mr. Oxpennv .cone—Richmond. John Husain!, a respectable London shopkeeper, wishing to enjoy one day tree from the troubles of an overbearing wife, and an impertinent Cockney son-in-law (Natty Briggs), pretends , a journey to Peptford, on business, and in reality takes a stage coach trip to Richmond in search of pleasure. Mrs. Buzzby and her booby son thinking Mr. Buzzby safe in Kent deter mined also on a joyous expedition, and, unluckily, to t he very same place, viz. Richmond, and take with them Cecilia, a ward of the Buzzbys, and whose fortune Mrs. Buzzby ishes to secure by marrying her to Natty Briggs. John Buzzby makes acquaintance in the stage-coach with an interesting female. who is lately married to a Naval Officer (Anderson), and having formerly had a thoughtless,though perfectly innocent Wordy cor respondence with a Captain Greville, she goes to Richmond to ask Major Aubrey (uncle to the Captain) to procure a restitution of her letters, which Greville had improperly shewn, and which she fears may involve her husband, should he hear of it, in a duel. The Lady finding in Buzzby every appearance of re spectability, relies on that and his age so far as to ask him to accompany her to the Major's, that be might afterwards, if needful, attest the propriety of her visit, and from having, in her anxiety, imprudently forgot, before she left town, the neces sity of a respectable companion. These circumstances the Lady Is often about to communicate to Buzzby, but is always inter rupted, and the good-natured and honest tradesman becomes her chaperon, on the credit of her appearance, and in consequence gets into a series of dilemmas, which turns his day of pleasure into one of whimsical embarrassment and comic vexation, not a " little heightened by the arrival of Mrs. Buzzby, who is equally disappointed of her intended jovial day, by finding her husband walking about Richmond with a fine woman, and a Military Officer claiming the h and of her ward,Cecilia, of whose hand Mrs. Mashy and her son bad, by misrepresentations, endeavoured to deprive him. The husband of Julia meets with Greville, and, while they arrange a meeting with pistols, '.-uzzby,with the best intentions in the world, gets embroiled with both in defence of Julia; he is also equally blamed by Major Aubrey, and every effort he malts for the good of others involves him in some new trouble ; the comic incidents arising from these COrilrelelteS are aided by the introduction of Single, a facethfus Richmond inn keeper, who suffers no one to speak but himself; his daughter, Jenny, who equally loves talking, but is never suffered to open her mouth (and who is dying for love of Lieutenant Maypole), and a gawky country waiter, Simon, who is equally and HOMO. cessfully in love with his young mistress, Jenny. The general fracas likely to take place from the numerous mistakes and mix. apprehensions described, is at length prevented by the interven tion of Major Aubrey, the honesty of the innkeeper, and the firmness of John Buzzby, who at length succeeds in reconciling all parties, and concluding a day of trouble with an evening - of pleasure. From this sketch it will be perceived that the ca reer of John Buzzby is one of those continued whirls of ludicrous and ever-varying incident which cha racterise the generality of the author's productions.— The dialogue of the Piece is brisk and flowing, and abundantly seasoned with puns, smart repartee, and amusing equivoque. The characters present little of novelty apart from the situations in which they are placed, and that little, which occurs in the parts of John Buzzby and Single, is not strongly marked ; their peculiarities, however, were hit off with ad mirable dexterity by Mr. TERRY and Mr. OXBERRY. The whole of the performers, indeed, did ample justice to their respective parts. The Piece was played to the close without a sound of disapprobation, and announced for repetition amidst general applause. ENOLIsH OPERA HOU3E.—This Theatre was nu merously and elegantly attended last night. Free and Easy, the Operatic Drama, which has for some years been a Summer favourite, was first performed. WRENCH, as the hero, gave Sir John Freeman all the whimsical importance which has invariably been at tached to it. Miss Kat.r.v was also excellent as Ger trude, and maJe the waiting-woman a most efficient instrument of mirth. Miss CAIIILW and Miss POVEY sustained the characters of Mrs. Courtky and Eu genia, with adequate ability, and their vocal exer tions called forth the loudest applause. Master LONG nuasy, from Covent-Garden, contributed his talent to that of the cast, which, enriched with the anima tion and propriety of BARTLEY, and the dry humour of WILRINEON, was really very strong, and the effect of the whole performance was highly creditable to the Theatre. The new sketch of " Love among the lioses," in which the humours of Sharpset were again the fruitful source of mirth and applause, followed ; and the amusements of the- evening were closed by " The Miller's Maid," (in which EMERY and Miss KELLy produce such powerful effect) amidst reiterated shouts of approbation. 8014 G.-BY T.

Vauxhall Gardens were again last night crowded to overflowing. The continued beauty of the weather, the increasing attractions of the Gardens, the charms of music, and the smiling faces of happy thousands congregated in this Elysium, served altogether to make last night one of the most delightful and pro ductive of the season. • AQUATIC Excuastoti.—At eleven o'clock, yester day rnorning;about thirty carriages arrived at White hall stairs, belonging to the Whitehall Club, all filled with Ladies and members of the Club. who embarked in their own pleasure boats. which were elegantly de corated, and well manned, in waiting for them. It took half an hour to get the Ladies all en board : then their splendid flags were heisted, and the firing of small arms announced their being in readiness to set sail. Westminster Bridge was crowded, and on the party setting sail, the surface of the water appeared entirely covered with pleasure boats. Fire arms were discharged as they passed through each of the bridges, and an excellent band of music played some favourite airs till they arrived at the Castle, at Richmond, where a grand dinner was prepared on the occasion.

The shepherds find them dead in great quantities: with scarcely any flesh upon them, but the cause is hitherto unaccounted for. The late dry weather, too, has been extremely unfavourable to the young broods, so that is is expected to be the worst season ever remembered. Astcrenea SRA ar Susves.—An account appearing in the News papers of a Liverpool hairdresser shaving 82 men in an hour, J. Finney, of Hardens, Staffordshire, who heard of it, undertook to shave 100 in the same time, which he completed, in a superior manner, within one second of the hour, and was afterwards chaired through the town in triumph. PEDESTRIANISM. Betteridge started last Monday evening, about seven o'clock, to run 10 miles in one hoer and three minutes, over a half-mile piece of ground on the 011 Dover Road, near Shooter's-hill, for a bet of 10 sovereigns. He ran the fine five miles in 31 minutes and a half; the neat three miles were run in 19 minutes and a half, and only 12 minutes were left him to tun the last two miles. Betting was three to two on time. The ninth mile was run in six minutes. Betteridge was quite fresh, and the last mile was run in five minutes and a half. He won by half a minute. Saturday, the 22d ult. a match of running took place at Wing bans, between the married men and bachelors of that place; which was won by the latter, to the no small chagrin of their opponents; who, from their success in former years, had risked considerable sums of money that they again carried off the palm of victory. spirit of freedom—that breathing after constitutional liberty—which has since manifested itself in the king dom of Naples, but, unfortunately, only, at least for the present, to be subdued, existed from one end of the country to the other; and Mom himself was not altogether unfriendly to its cultivation, nor to the consolidation of its great objects, well know ing that the tenure of his crown was in no small de gree dependent on a conformity in his Government to the spit it of the age. Such, howevtr, was the inde cision of this Monarch's character, and so great his fear of bringing down on him, by a change of sys tem, and an acquiescence in the ardent desires of those whom he governed, the wrath of his neigh bours, and of exposing himself to be abandoned by professed allies, whose support had been promised on conditions to which MURAT never could pardon him self fo7 having consented, that his assurances to his People never received their accomplishment; and he was himself hurled from his throne, as an eye sore to legitimacy, at the moment when a decision of cha racter, and an honourable fulfilment of his repeated declarations, would have guaranteed his security, and placed Naples in a high rank, as a constitutional Imo narchy, among the nations of Europe. After all, will not say that Waar did not entertain any love for that principle—l mean the principle arising - out of legitimacy and despotism united—of which he was ultimately the victim. MURAT was a fool : his people were sacrificed. But if MURAT was of an indecisive character, and if enlightened Europe —not the legitimates—now be moan the consequence of his indecision, such, at least in one respect, as will be evinced by what I am going to relate, was not the character of his legitimate suc cessor—the perjured tragic actor at Laybach ! Shortly after the restoration of the aow celebrated FERDINAND, sonic letters of JOAQUIN, which he had written from Corsica to some of the Nobles of his late Court, and which, in the eyes of legitimacy, were of a treasonable nature, fell into the hands of the Nea politan Minister of Police. The Minister waited on the per sons to whom they were addressed. He stated, that he held in his hands letters from the Usurper, which were of a highly criminal nature, but of the contents of which, although addressed to them, the KING, who had never doubted their fidelity, would not believe they had any knowledge. "To prove your fidelity," added this unprincipled Minister, " there remain; only one course to be taken ; and that is, for you to affix your signatures to the answers which I have prepared to this correspondence." The parties were thunderstruck, and as no hesitation could be shewn, they instantly complied with the Minister's demand. The answers assured MURAT of the un bounded attachment of the Neapolitans to hint, and of their enthusiasm in his cause. They represented the whole population as being ready to take up arms in his favour; and that he had only to present him self once more on their shores, in order instantly to regain his throne 1 They stated that the bearer of the letters was a person chosen to conduct him back to his capital; that he enjoyed their full confidence, and possessed the requisite talents for giving com plete effect to so confidential a mission ; and that he had only to place himself under his direction, in re spect to quitting Corsica and landing in Italy, when all would be well, and his MAJISTY shortly wel comed back to Naples by his devoted subjects ! MURAT could not doubt the truth of the persons of whose signatures he had a perfect knowledge ; and therefore embarked from Corsica under the escort of this pretended confidential agent, who was an ens ployi of the Police, and landed in Calabria, where he was instantly shot Thus is the mystery revealed, of MURAT'S apparent insanity in invading his former dominions with only one or two attendants ; and thus have we another specimen of a legitimate act in its quintessence! CHAatzs V. who bad so long distinguished him self as a persecutor of all who differed front the or thodox faith, appears in his retirement to have come to his senses on the subject of intolerance. He had thirty watches on his table, and observing that no two of them marked the same time, he exclaimed— , a How could I imagine that in matters of religion I could make all men think alike r A servant carelessly entering his cell, threw down all the watches.

DUZL PREVENTED.--A dispute Rinse in the lobby of the House of Commo;ls between Mr.W—; of the Stock Exchange, and Mt. K—, of the Tea Trade, and the parties met yesterday morning, but, through the interference of the seconds, the matter w as made up. The harvest this year will be as early a., that of 1778, when wheat began to be cut yin the 14th of July, and corn of all kinds was housed betote the end of August. In about a fortnight, it is supposed, that the wheat harvest will be pretty general in Devonss.ire ; in every direction the wheat is uncommonly fine, and promises an abundant produce. Thursday. a field of barley was cut down on Mr. WILSON'S farm at Clintery, Aberdeenshiie. It was quite ripe and well filled, but had been sown in the autumn, and was to be milled immedi rtely. it being expected to ii.ake a great return of o,eal. In Stafford Mal ket, on Saturday, Mr. HA RDI NO ; of Acton, produced a sample 'of new barley ! On board the Ansel ican ship Metrot (Capt. CoBB) which sailed from New York on the 24th of May, and arrived at Liverpool on the 24th of June, they had radishes to eat every day during the passage.— A box, which made part of the hen co. .p attached to the companion way, with holes in the bottom, was filled with earth. The radishes, fit to eat when got at New York, w ere planted in this eat th, very thickly, and wet e taken up for use as they w erc wanted. The box was lashed to the staunchions on the quarter. deck, and had a lid, to be put down in ca , e of tough weather. One of the Paddington stages drove over a boy this morning in the City-road. aid killed him o Cle spot. A most melancholy accident occurred about two miles from Alnwick, last week. As THOMAS ADAMS, Req. of Long.. houghton, who has just succeeded to the valuable estate of Acton, was returning from a visit to a neighbouring gentleman, in compsny with a young lady to whom he was to have been shortly married, he fell from his horse, tna was conveyed into Alnwick the same evening a corpsea melancholy instance of the uncertain tenure of human happiness! DISTRESAING ACCIDENT—LONDONDERRY, JUNE 25. —Saturday, between eleven and twelve o'clock, two young Ladies, sisters, Henrietta, aged 17. and Mar garet, 18, daughters of Mr. William Buxton, who superintends the building of the new jail here, were both drowned in the Foyle, above the Gallows-strand. They had bathed together, and the eldest had come out and just got herself dressed, wh , ..n she heard her sister, who had remained in the water, and who, it is supposed, had got out of her depth and was borne along by the rapidity of the ebbing tide, screaming to het for aid. Exclaiming that she would save her or perish, she rushed in ; but before she got the length of her sister she swooned away, and sunk to rise no more. At this time a little girl who was upon the shore gave the alarm, when a Gentleman, aho had been bathing at some distance, was attracted to the spot, and regardless of personal safety, plunged into the water, hoping to save Margaret, whom he saw struggling for life, lying upon her back and beat ing with her arms; but his design was frustrated by the circumstance of his having on his clothes, con nected with the strength of the tide, and when within a few yards of her, he saw her finally disappear I An immediate watch was made for the bodies, but they were not found till the following d e p-41eurietta, at fire o'clock in the morning, very near to the spot where she had gone down—her sister at half-post three, on the opposite side of the water.
