TlIrilTR ES. Coveter-Cannev.—This Theatre opened last night for the season. Besides the powerful attractions of Amite, who, in the hands of Mr. Youso lost nothing of the deep interest which the melancholy and philo sophical Prince always excites, the alterations made in the interior of the Theatre contributed to fill it, even at this early period. with a most numerous and genteel audience. We have already described the name of the new imorovements, for they really de serve that name. Their excellence was last night displayed with increased effect. The whole house is now a blaze of light, but of light which reveals all the he airy and elegance which the different tiers of boxes contain, without dazzling or even fatiguing the e-c. A proportionate increase of illumination is also tirewn on the stage, so that the effect of the repre senta:ion is in no ways impaired by the diffusion of Lght through the other parts of the edifice. Not ..vit!•standing the immense quantity of gas employed, the }souse is so well ventilated, that not the least smell is perceivable. The magnificence and excellence of these improvements were acknowledged last night by repe..ted peals of applause, and it was in the midst of loud public gratulation that I. Gun save !!,, King" was swig, and the performance opened Mr. Yin:se% merits in the part of Hank, have too otteo been appreciated to be required to be des ctihed. The character of Horatio was well supported by Mr. BoNNEL THORNTON. To a good figure and handsome countenance, this Gentleman j iins a power ful voice; and, though the part is not calculated to call forth great powers, it enabled him to prove that he had abilities which might, and will, in a short time, be better employed. The other characters were ably sustained. The part of Oidadia was played by Miss MATHEWS, and in such a manner as does her , very high credit. She not only sung the wild ditties with which that beautiful part is interspersed in a ju• diciously appropriate style of tenderness, but repre sented " the pretty definition" of Ophefia with the happiest success. ENULIsH Oezae.—The business of this Theatre has been conducted with much spirit, and has been marked with a lively and agreeable variety. Last sight a fresh and successful improvement in the illu mination of the House by gas before the curtain was displayed to the general satisfaction and admiration of the spectators. Light and beautiful flames of gas, connected together by an elegant chain of brilliant supplies, with great advantage, the place of the former sleuthed lustres, and gives ; an airiness and gaiety to the space that is delightful. A new Comic Operetta, called Diegaises, commenced the amuse. ments of the night. It consists only of one act, and its reception was favourable. derstur, a young Officer, whose representative was Mr. Wnancii, is violently in love with Frederica (Miss Kama'); fortunately for him his flame is not more violent than soccessfut. The charming Frederica invites him (from his regiment) to uddertake a match of a serious ma trimonial description. There are, however, some ob. stacks in the way. A certain Coma Hildobrated, of German breed, and possessing all the attechment of his countrymen to rank, is entitled, under her father's will, to her band, upon a penalty, in case of her refusal, which prudence forbids her to incur.— Frederica resolves to possess herself of this will by stratagem. Hence arise the &guise:, and the expe dients to which she Is-driven in consequence of this determination, constitute the fund out of which the incidents of the piece are supplied. Luckily for the undertaking of our fair heroine, Coon Hikkirmul had given a premise of marriage to Madams Meaty (Mts. PINCOTT) A widow of a sentimental Mt, and . engaged to forfeit half his fortune to her, in case be. should fail to make good his promise. Fredsrka, in the first instance, affects to receive the Count's ad. dresses with favour ; in the next place, disguised as an officer, in the name of her own brother, she makes love to the Widow, and carries her affections almost by storm. In this double capacity, this epicene cha racter, she succeeds So far as to obtain the will from the Count, and the paper containing the promise of marriage from the Widow ; upon which she avails herself of the opportunity to marry the object of bey heart. The Count and the Widow, mutually disen gaged from any other obligation, seem to marry out of spite. The Performers all exerted themselves with great effect, andifrunkthe manner in which the Piece was revived, induceP to anticipate a successful run, which is always the most desirable panegyric. An entire new change was also made last meet in the Shrubbery at this Theatre; the lofty and spacious room is now eonverted into a Garden, with a beauti ful Italian Terrace. Upwards of a thousand fresh trees and shrubs have been added ; a raised platform extends from the entrance to nearly -the centre of the building, this descends by several steps to a large circle, where rustic seats are placed. The whole arrangement, both cook,aed picturestlite, is enlivened by quantities of flowers in full blow. Captain and Mrs. Briny arrived in town yeasts.- day from their seat in Scotland.

EDINBURGH, SEPTEMBER 6. Yesterday came on before the High Court of Jus ticiary the trial of Bernard Millenge, Hari and Patric& M 4 Crietat, accused of the crimes of *tooth. rid, robbery, rape, or assault with intent to commit rape. The panels severally pleaded and no objections having been stated a Jury was chosen to try their ceded with closed doers. indictment were, we understand, against the prisoners, and the Jury about ten minutes, returned into Cout with a ver. did, finding Bernard bfalleogue and Patrick /*Cris. tal guilty of the crimes of stouthrief, robbery, and raps, libelled, and Hugh •Mollvogue guilty of the crimes of stouthrirf and robbefj. An accomplice, Bernard Hutton or Hatton, was sent to prises during the trial for gross prevarication on oath. At half-put eight o'clock, the LORD Jusnce CLERK sentenced the three prisoners to be executed at Gree nock on Friday, the 10th day of October next.—The prisoner l are all natives of Ireland, and stout young men, nol one of them apparently above 24 years of age, and received the LORD JUSTICR Ccanies admo nition and sentence of death with seeming indifference. Tua Emu;Sitia.—This singular character, whose dexterous achievements afforded such amusement to the public about twelve months ago, has again re tutned to Leith with Captain NZWTON. Upon re visiting his native country, he learned with much sorrow 'ha; his sister, who loved him with the most unfeigned affection, thinking him dead, had died of a broken heart. During his residence there. the na tives were continually flocking around him, and would sit for hours together, listening with the great est astonishment while be would relate, in his native simplicity, the wonders he had witnessed in this country. He proved of great utility during the ship's stay in the Straits. and among other desperate exploits which he performed in his canoe, was the killing of an unicorn, the horn 'of which is now in the possession of Mr. S. W. Scatvem, of Edinburgh, the Surgeon of the vessel. TUB FINCIASIL HeRSIST. pi POI CARSe 0, GoWarr, Piturnaninz.—This venerable character, who has for a long time inhabited a cave of great rural beauty and retirement, in the braes of the Carse, near Fin. gask, and who was, perhaps, one of the most inno cent of beings, has lately disappeared. His disap pearance has naturally occasioned considerable un easiness to those who were in the habit of frequenting his abode, and who considered him to be one of the interesting spectacles of the place. Some 'circum stances have occurred, which make it highly proba ble that he has been forcibly carried off, and that a few young men in the neighbourhood have been'the wicked perpetrators of the deed. This they could do with the greater facility, as he never used his voice; seemingly incapable of doing so, whatever might be the cold or heat of his espied residence. Indeed, his insensibility to external good and evil was so perfect, that none living ever saw him laugh or smile, or change his attitude. His beard was ex tremely long, and his raiment lately renewed; and it is suspected that it was to get possession of these that the villainous deed has been perpetrated. Some Magist t rates of the , eonaty have very properly taken an active part in the endeavour to bring the guilt home to those accused, but hitherto without effect. He has not yet been beard of. His cross and some Ismail articles have been picked up on the neighbour ing hills, which excites a painful apprehensioo, that something ,worse than theft may bay? happened. was tisonsider him s Meader enemy to the English t To the former be answered," The Porpoise, of Buenos Ayres, and that they were our friends." I polled of my bat to them, to receive them as such, and in an lastest my Womb& war returned by their gin/ es three cheers, which our people returned. He then said we meat lay to for them; all they meant to send a boat oa board and examine oar papers. With this demand I continued my slap as before described, when two pasotis, calling themselves °Gars, and four era, came on booed; the former armed with cutlasses. /skewed theta my papers. 'llse first quest.. pm to me was, " What does your cargo COMM of, and have yes any wine t Why did am yob breve to when Ant we Bred; you ban taken us of our cruising grimed?' My papers pee blot all eM isiormatiou be required. As to his latter question, I andierod. " I do not know your Sag, never having seen or heard of it be. fire; and as l had every reason to suppose you a pirate, from your Bring at us, I would have got away foal you if I could." % Obscene& among the bills of lading, a hogsbead of wine, Smirked lit I, he said, in an insolent too, of voice, " This wise, or a part oils, we will have, besides two casks of potatoes, for the freebie you have given us in taking us from oar wafting gri d." I eiserved, " Whatcysr you do mate must be ly force, if: 4 l l :t i till net voluntarily give up the least part of the cargo." thinge being is this state, and my ship, salt were, hi the possession of a lawless bemdkei (from circumstances hereafter mentioned), the schooner an* yard-arm alongside, and waiting only for a signal from these desperadoes, be concieded, is an iambi* toot," There are certain articles we want, and we will have diem ; th ew us th e wise and potatoes; barrer your quarter beet down, and take them se board oar vessel; resistance is in vain, look at our form* (resin to the schemer} I observed, ".Have you no respect foe Oef flag Dow *peg (a red eosign) f this is a dreadful act of aggreseicia against a satin you profess to be at peace with; and * you persist in your demands, and pot them in executioa, you will bear at it. before six mouths *repast." They both answered to th is," We care not fur the British Saga any other lag : that dance -ag (palming to their own) which all =does shall respect." At this time the wine was hoisted op from the held by their own men, put into my boat by them, with six badman( ipso. toes and a bag of oats, and sent on beartt their odisisir. ga chirp of one of their boat's crew.

The Authorities in the Island of Margarita have already condemned and executed several persons who had commuted unlawful de. predations on the high seas, and there is not an instance of mercy having been hewn to any one convicted of the team.' Four ships of war, to carry ten guns each, are or. dered to be built ■t Portsmouth and Plymouth.— They are to be called the CYoNar and Dationr, and the ECUPSE and EMULOUS. The Lords of the Admiralty have promoted Lieu. tenant Jotee COLMAN HICKMAN, of his Majesty's late ship ALocarre s to the rank of Commander ;—and Messrs. Hoare Jormerox, and JOSIPH Sykes, Master's Mates of the said ship, to the rank of Lieutenants. A herring boat, belonging to Cockenzie was lost in a heavy gale, about eight or ten days ago, off Caith ness. There were five persons in her when she went 'down, all of whom were drowned. Four of them belonged to one family, said to be a father, two sons, and a grandson, all of the name of Donaldson. Py this calamity, three widows, eight very young chil dren, and two aged widowed mothers, are reduced . from tolerable orcumstances to extreme indigence. Tuesday night a fishing boat, belonging to Her. rington harbour, was upset, and James Berry. and Joseph Barnes, two elderly men, were unfortunately drowned. A young man who was in the boat saved himself by swimming to the shore. Friday the body of John Atherton, a flatman, was found drowned in the river Mersey. It is supposed he was knocked overboard the flat, of which he was master, by the boom. He has left a widow and four childitd.

Wednesday a scaffold gave way from a house hi George -street, Glasgow, on which were ten men.--. Eight fell; two died almost immediately ; Ave re. Main in the Infirmary in a doubtful state ; but the other was only slightly injured. Tu-sday, a mechanic, erecting some machinery at Mr. Fiestisies Bleachfield, Pellokshaws, was killed by a plash-wheel, by putting on the steam power while his body was within the action of the machinery. Saturday se'nnight, a collier, of the time of Smith, was killed at Kn'ghtswood Colliery, by the cham breaking at the time he was going down the pit. A boy, of the name of Huobard, was lately shot, accidentally, at Minton, by a companion, whilst en gaged in scaring birds in a wheat ti:ld. The following accidents occurred at Weymouth, on Thursday, on the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Groneesren :—A child was thrown down by the crowd under the wheels of their Royal Highness's carriage, and instantly killed ; and one of the guns, in saluting the Royal Personages burst, which so in jured the gunner, that Both his arms were obliged to' be amputated near the shoulder.
