This morning, at twelve o'clock, the London steam vessel, the Lord Melville, arrived here. She left Calais at one o'clock, A.N. and had since been beating about, in a❑ attempt to proceed to London, which she found perfectly impracticable ; du►ing the time, she encountered a most violent gale, and the ex hausted appearance of the passengers clearly indi cated its effects.—This circumstance ►s another proof (of what indeed needed not confirmation), that our port stands unrivalled for a passage to or from the Continent, f r shortness and safety. ANOTHER LETTER—SAME DATE. Yes:ei day it blew hard all day from the S.W. and in consequence the steam vessels from France acre unable to reach this port; and•the Dasher Post oilice steam-packet, from Calais, and the Union steam vessel, bore up for the Downs: the former, however, came round this morning, and got into the harbour. Last night it blew a tremendous gale, at tended with torrents of rain, and in the course of the night, or rather about two in the morning the wind shifted from the &W. to the N.W. still blowing very hard. The Lord Melville, London steam-vessel, came out of Calais at one this morning, and, notwithstand ing we have heard that these London steam-vessels are so constructed as to make their way against all sorts of wind and weather, after beating abOut for an hour or two, and reaching the North Sands Head, she was obliged to put back. She arrived in this harbour about ten this morning, with two carriages and eighty passengers. CANTERBURY; OCTOBER 15. Early on Thursday morning, Mr. T. C. Fowler, surgeon, of Sheerness, was found dead, with his neck dislocated, near the Red House, between that place and the Half-way House to Minster. The deceased, about half-past nine on the preceding evening,. had called :It the Half-way House on his return from Eastchurch, on horseback, and the night being very dark he was advised not to ride so hard as was his usual custom ; but it is feared that he heeded not this caution, and hence the fatal accident which deprived him of life, and the circle in which ho moved of his able professional services. About eight o'clock on Monday evening,the 7th last, a hay-stack, containing about thirty tons, was discovered to be on fire upon Shurland Farm, in the Parish of Pluckley, in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Page ; although every active assistance was given by the neighbours, it was found impossible to prevent the total destruction of the stack. A shocking accident happened on Saturday, at a manufactory in Bath. A young man, named George Jones, was in the act of tying a rope to the dinner bell, when his foot slipped, and he fell on the fly-wheel of a steam-engine, which was at work at the time, and which actually severed his head from his body FIRIL—The neighbourhood of Fish-street-hill was last night thrown into great agitation, in consequence of a fire breaking out on the premises of Mr. Josgrx WALKER, feather-bed manufacturer, residing on Fish-street-hill. The fire was perceived by the oppo site neighbours, who saw clouds of smoke pouring out of the front door, and immediately informed Mr. WALKER, who, on. examination, found that some Rocks and wool in the warehouse had by some un known means taken fire and were burning furiously. Fortunately for Mr. WALKER, the speedy arrival of the engines prevented the flames from doing any very serious injUly, except that of the windows, which are smashed to pieces. The new beds, flocks, and wool, that the fire had got into, were removed by the firemen to the church-yard opposite, and the into :Ant rain soon put out the fire, u did the engines on the premises. .1 V : `7"W`4' •' amp* 'lllit e l e ttft et -tbe 4101 Lieut Domani, Artived at inst. from thindMatid, Mph& •the marched from thence mita, way to The slit ' was inspected. _ so Friday last, on Major-General Sir Darns Pace, K.l much pleased with the appearance of terwards Inspected the Barracks, Monday seennight the Ist Regiment of reviewed at Hough-end, by Lord lowa. 011111 Sirrt they displayed some beautiful military evoluttoos, to the great satisfaction Of a numerous assembly, notwithstanding the unfa vourable state of the weather.—Steskpert Advertiser.

It is reported in Paris, that young NAPOLEON, and his mother, MARIA LOUISA, are on their way to Italy, and will, visit Verona during the Congress. Yesterday morning early, some thieves forced open the hatchway bUthe brig Cosmopolite, lying off . Dublin Chain, and having killed a watch dog, they cut open a bale of cotton, but the crew being alarmed, they fled without any booty. The Captain observing thr'e fellows rowing off in a square stern boat, hailed the Police boat, which gave chace, but they had got too far ahead to be overtaken. The Kelso coach was overturned near Blackshiels‘ on its way to Edinburgh, on Monday se'nnight, and, most providentially,' although there were six inside and nine outside passengers, not one individual was hurt ! The coach was broken to pieces—the horses were uninjured. The accident was caused by one of the horses starting at sight' of an ass on the road-side. Yesterday se'nnight, while the True Briton Dor* ham and Newcastle coach was standing in the mar.' ket-place, Durham, waiting for some expected pas sengers, a fierce mastiff dog, belonging to a baker, having been improperly suffered to go at large un muzzled, ferociously seized the leading horse by the thigh. So firmly did the savage animal keep his hold, that it was found necessary to nearly choke him, by pressing the wind-pipe, ere he would quit his merci less grasp. The horse was so dreadfully lacerated at to be quite unable to proceed with the coach. A Margate coach was upset on Monday at Canter- bury, on its way to London; it was full of passengers inside and out ; one Gentleman had his leg crushed by falling under the coach, and was obliged to re main at Canterbury ; a Lady inside had her arm much cut by the glass, and was so severely bruised alto revire the support of pillows the remainder of the journey, and to be lifted in and out of the coach. 'Man) of the other passengers were much bruised', and sprained. Wednesday night, between West Wycombe and Stoken Church, the Gloucester and Hereford van was broken into and robbed of several parcels by pulling them out behind, and throwing them into the road, with the intent of picking them up in a cart, which the robbers had handy for that purpose; but fortu nately, .while the thieves were gone for , the cart, a Mr. Treacher, of High Wycombe, who was returning home at the time, disturbed them, and they immedi ately set off, leaving their plunder behind, nine par cels of which Mr. Treacher put in hi, cart, and car ried to West Wycombe. The thieves, it is supposed, took the road to London : they were about• five in number. The same evening the other Gloucester and Bristol van was robbed, about Beacontfield, of seve ral parcels, with which the thieves got clear off. Saturday se'nnight, about half-past ten o'clock in the evening, as Mrs. HOLLAND, the wife of Mr. HOL LAND, of the Siracen's Head Inn, Borowash, near Derby, was sitting by the fire, she 'heard a noise of some Guinea fowls near the back door, which had been disturbed from their roost in the orchard, upon which she instantly proceeded to the orchard to ascer tain the cause, when she saw a ladder reared against an apple-tree, and found two fellows, one of whom made a precipitate retreat down the ladder, and ran into a ditch to screen himself against his female pur suer; upon which Mrs. HOLLAND rushed upon him, and seizing him by the collar, firmly kept her hold until the arrival of one of her female domestics, when they dragged their prisoner into the }louse, to the no small surprise of Mr. HOLLAND. The fellow was afterwards taken before the Magistrates, when he re ceived a suitable reprimand, and upon paying the cost incurred, and promising to amend his conduct in future, Mr. HOLLAND humanely consented to his discharge. The other fellow ran away.upon seeing Mrs. HOLLAND enter the orchard, but in his fright and hurry to get away from his female pursuer, for got to take his hat with him, which was immediately picked up, the inside of which betrayed its owner, Who has since absconded. ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO MDADER.—.Ai seven o'clock on Sunday evening, whilst Mrs. Powell, an elderly widow Lady, living in Cold Bath-square, was at Chapel, some villain, by means of false'keys, en tered her house ; the noise he made in ransacking the lower part of the house was heard by two men who lodged in the second floor ; one of them went down' stairs to ascertain whence the noise proceeded; whilst the other went to look out of the window. As soon, as the man who went down stairs (in the dark) entered ; the parlour he received a tremendous blow on dig head by' the villain, and was knocked down. 'l eaned to his fellow-lodger to come down to his as-4 sistance, but owing tip his being looking out of-the window he did not hear. The villain gave him se veral desperate blows while he was down ; the poor fellow kept crying out—" Murder! thieves! mur der !" on which the ruffian gave him a deep stab in the side with some sharp instrument; his cries .at, length brought his fellow-lodger to his assistance, but the robber effected his escape. On Mrs.. Powell',. cominghorne it was ascertained- he had. broken open a small escrutoire and taken from thence A:l4r 44 so vereigns.

Pdamicor-Housa.—Yesterday iosiph Redd*, who bad bens same time ago errand-boy to Messrs. Robson.and Co. stationers, on St. Dunstan's.hi!l, was charged with having committed a robbery. A few days ago if was discovered that .the precnialle had been entered by some person who must hive hid some knowledge of the place. The key of an iron safe, which fag • usually hung up in a particular chamber, was taken, and the safe was opened with it. In this safe it had been customary to keep money; but some time ago the firm ordered another *worm boa to be made, in which tla*ey deposited the ask. The thief seemed not to have been aware of this, for, after rummaging among the p p,rs, he eltaed the safe, returned the key to its place, and made no attempt upon the - other - safer. He, however, took all that was portable, which he could turn td immediate use. The prisoner was taken into custody at the lodgings of his another.—He was remanded. Two brothers were charged with having stolen a doitkey and a cart. The prisoners were employed to go out daily to called dust in the cart. One morning they went to their master, com Plai ning that the stable had been broken open, and robbed of the donkey and cart. After a little time it was discovered theta, boys had sold the donkey and cart at Smithfield, and that oos of them had been seen riding up and down the market, 'hewing them off—They were remanded. Lamerru-seacre—Yesterday T. Wild was charged with being concerned, with others, in putting a quantity of coppermehtto a boiler, at the house of Mr. Tanner, the Red Lion, Laytonstooe, as stated in the STAG of yesterday. The prisoner made the flimsy excuse that he did not do it himself, though he willow liedged he told the others to do it, pot knowing the contents of the paper, as he could not read. The Magistrate severely rea prehended the prisoner, and ordered him to find good ball, and to give 24 hours notice thereof. • MAILLIOIMIGH-STRILET.--DIANOLICAL ATTACK.--A Gentleman of the name of Seymour charged a disorderly-looking young man of 19, named Towns/send, with extorting from him, first £lO, and the second time £l5, under the pretence of charging him with unnatural propensities. Mr. Seymour had lately re turned from Ireland, and took lodgings for his wife and family in Bryanstone-street. After taking tea with some friends, he' was on his way to call upon another friend, in Bernemetreet, when the prisoner accosted him, and entered into a conversation's This was on the 6th of September, between eight and nine is the evening, near Portland-street. it came out in conversation that Mr. Seymour was going to Berners-street, and at the pri soner's suggestion they agreed to join in a coach, aid the pd. soner gave directions where to go. There was another man on the box, and the prosecutor not finding the coachman pursuing his course 'to Berners-street,, called to him, and the prisoner called at the saute time as the prosecutor did, and desired him, to drive to Mary-la-bonne Church. Mr. Seymour did not like his companion, and insisted on getting out. The prisoner said he wanted to go to Mary-la-bonne Church, and Sir. Sep. moor could take the coach on. The latter then became alarmed, opened the door, and jumps out. On the 12th September, when knocking at his door, the prisoner came up to him, and demanded Sal. or he would expose him, and tell his father of the liberties be had taken with him in the coach. Influenced by the fear of the vile attack reaching the ears of his family, he gave the fellow lat. and he went off and promised no further molestation. About ten days after, the prisoner met him again, repeated his diabolical threats of exposure, and Mr. Seymour gave him 54 all he had. The prisoner said that was not enough, and wanted , w take care of his watch until he had more. This Mr. Seymour refused; but, at the suggestion of the prisoner, pledged nis watch for 51. which he gave him within sight of the pawnbroker. The prisoner called again a few days after at the house of Mr. Sey mour, and demanded 2ttl. more to make the sum altogether. Ile saw Mrs. Seymour at this time, and hid the audacity to - tell her her husband was a bad men; that he was an officer of Marlbo rough-street Police ; and that he had an exposure to make which would make her unhappy for life. The prisoner did not succeed, and he was desired to call :gain another day. Officers from Marlborough-street were in waiting several days, and Clements took him early in the morning of Tuesday last. He was then in the dining-room, making the demand of gal. again. He con fessed the extortion, and went un in a disgusting strain,. adding insult to injury.—The prisoner was fully committed for trial fur the capital offence. • Moray night• a female, with 'some companions ; was passing the Westminster Infirmary; when some ruffian, genteelly dressed, accosted her indecorously, and on her repulsing him, he drew an instrument from his pocket (supposed to be a razor), 'and in. flicted a deep cut in her thrdat. He endeavoured to repeat it, but she fell on the Hospital steps, and the other women attacked him, on which he'ran off. A party of Patrol cattle up, but they did not succeed in securing the fellow, who is supposed to be a person whose addresses she had formerly rejected. The fe• male lies in a dangerous state at the Hospital. Friday, William Storrier and John Miller were Publicly whipped, pursuant to . their sentence at the rag Circuit Court at Duodoe, for a rape. Before twelve o'clock 'there were neatly 10,000 persons as. sembled. The windows, too, were crowded; but few women, except of the very '.lowest rank, appeared either at them or on the . street. Soon after twelve a cart drove up to /he Piazzas, and the culprits were brought down in the humiliating manner usual on such occasions. Their backs were bared, their bats iltierched vier their faces, and a cord was run round their wrists, and fastened them to the cart. In this state they Were drawn 'along the Seagate, Murraygate, ergate, Tay-street, and Nethergate, till they again the prisOn, stopping thirteen times in the l'eburie of the circuit, and receiving three lashes each . • tune, given with great moderation.

AI ‘. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Yesterday evening the effect of the lights was tried upon the internal decorations of this Theatre, and it was fully equal to the most sanguine expectations.— The beauty of the grand luitre is very great, as the light which it throws banishes every particle of shade to the lowest place. in the pit, and the remotest abode of the gs:Cids. The prismatic colours in the prudent chrystal work, put one in mind of the gem-beatidg trees in an Eastern fairy tale. The colour and gilt ornaments to which we have already alluded, have a very clean and chaste effect ; and the advantage of enlarging the aperture of the stage, is very apparent; every box and slip now commanding the whole range Of it ; and, by the introduCtion of a greater number of side scenes, the vista can be carried to an ap parently interminable length, without any violaiioti of perspective. By this means some of the absurdities which plague the most skilful Manager, when the proscenium confines the foreground, may be com pletely got rid of; and if the barbaric taste of the town shall still render it necessary, horse and foot, ar tillery and elephants, may be wheeled and counter mai tired, without the violation of anything but good taste ; whereas, otherwise, congruity also suffers. In addition to the beauty of the architectural and plastid decorations, the extreme cleanness and com fort of the seats are very striking : there is no part of the House which does not appear as if snug ; and as all the partitions now point to the centre of the stage, every one may have a full and uninterrupted view of the performers. Everything, in short,. appears to have been done for the physical comfort of the au• dience, at the same time that care has been taken that even the most fastidious taste cannot quarrel with the decorations. The expense must have been great— some idea of it may be formed from the fact, that the gold-leaf alone cost Four Thousand Pounds. So much expended to please the eyes of the Public is commendable—the more so, that it is accompanied by an accession of talent. The exhibition altogether afforded unmixed satis faction. Every one most cordially acknowledged the Hall of the Theatre to be beautiful, and it is but justice to say, that (vhile anxious to embellish, Mr.' ELLISTON has not forgotten or omitted to supply those unobtrusive accommodations which pass for little in a hasty view of the House, but which con ibute largely to the substantial comforts of an au dience. Seeing so much gcod.taste displayed in this part of the Establishment, we may reasonably hope that it ends not here. As far as we can see all is good, and when we have such abundant cat:se to be pleased with what is before the curtain, we may be allowed to parody a line in Hamlet, and pronounce— " Thus Ord begins—the best is still behind." HAYMARKET THEATRE. This Theatre closed a successful season last night , when the following Address was delivered by Mr. T. DIBDIN, Stage Manager: “ Lions AND Gesrurmint—l am desired by the Proprietors to present you with their sincere and grateful acknowledgments for the very liberal patronage with which you have honoured the season, which terMinates with the performances of this even. ing. They beg to auure you that the long vacation we are doomed to suffer shall be employed in every exertion to render this House and its establishment worthy a continuance of your generous support. During our short campaign we have to thank your indulgence for the complete success of every novelty we have presented; and among the new candidates who have ad ventured upon these beards, a young Lady, whom your discri minate award has raised to the highest rank of musical preten sion, will ever have to recollect that her first efforts were en couraged by the Friends and Patrons of the Haymarket Theatre. The Performers also wish to express their high sense of the kind ness you have shewn them; and I hope, Ladies and Gentlemen, it may not be deemed intrusive if I take the liberty of thanking each of them, who have by their zeal, alacrity, and talent, car ried into effect every intention of the Management. In the name of the Proprietors, the Performers and most humbly is my own, while taking a grateful leave, I ;wish you every possible happiness till the return of summer shall renew our hopes to meet, and ardent wishes to merit the future sunshine of your favour and protection." Among the English Nobility and Gentry residing in Paris at present are—the Marquis and Marchioness of SLIGO and family, Earl and Countess GREY and family, Sir B.
