A DELPIIITHEATR e—The announcement that Tom end Jerry was to be discontinued to make room for a Parisian novelty, has caused crowded houses every bight to witness die amusing exploits of the Corin thian favourite. Comm Tnakras.—Last night this House was filled to the ceiling. Two new Pieces were produced: the first, a grand Operatic Nukterinopaidia ! or, Pa sszamic Epitome of Events, Places, and Persons, c•miprising a Melo-Drama, entitled " France, or, ilcaven posnts to the Murderer ;" the scenery of which :vas grand beyond description.

Suanay.—This well-conducted Theatre also pro -4 duced a new Piece last night, under the name of, " France," which met with the most favourable re. cif,' tion. The other entertainments gave universal satisfaction, and were hailed with shouts of approba tion by a !louse crowded in every part. A new Opera, from the pen of Mr. DIMOND, is in preparation at Drury-Lane Theatre, the music by Messrs, T. COOKE and BOCHSA, hut principally by the former. A new Christmas Pantomime is also getting up at this Theatre, under the direction of Mr. i. Diaoix, in which no less than twenty-nine origi nal scenes will be introduced, including a view of St. Paul's Cathedral, and likewise one of the old Church which formerly Stood on the site of this magnificent pile. The operations of the Tread-mill will form part ul' the amusements of the Pantomime. As Mr. J.

O n the boat's coming , alongside, she proved to be from the late unfortunate ship Charles Mills, which vessel foundered on the morning of the 20th inst. a few minutes before eight o'clock, after being three days in a gale all round the compass, in lat. 15 deg.

A letter received from Captain Wssa, late Commander of the Charles Mills, which is dated on board of the French brig Scythe, off Kedgeree, states, that after enduring the greatest sufferings from a tremendous hurricane, which commenced on the 17th, and lasted till the 20th instant, the wind from all quar ters, the ship foundered, and the chief Mate, Mr. lleu., and sixty-five persons in her perished. The Charles Mills was in latitude 15. N. 85.:,0. E. The Captain, second Officer, and six 'of the crew, were the only persons saved. They were five days in the boat bt•thre they nude land, when they were unable to approach on account of the surf. They at length were fortu nately picked up by the French brig Scythe, from Mauritlus hound to Kedgeree, by whose Commander and Officers they were treated with great kindness. The same gale dismasted the Lady Farquhar, and we fear we shall hear of much damage. MELANCHOLY LOSS OF A CHINESE JUNK. The Calcutta Gazette, of the 30th May, gives a painfully in teresting account, in the shape of extracts from the log-book of the English ship Indian, commanded by Lieutenant JAMES NAM., R. N. Part of the crew and passengers were saved by the ludian, and landed at Pontiana, Island of Borneo. The number of persons sweet was 140. " We were enabled now to ascertain (sap the log of Baba Chy, the person brought off this evening). that the people were passengers on board the Teck Ne cum. a Canton junk, of eight or 900 tons, which had left Amoy, in China, 23 days before, hound to Batavia, having, besides the cargo and crew, 1600 passengers, from the age of 70 to six years, which the evening before had struck against some rocks, to wind ward of tke Island, supposed by us to he the Belvedors Shoals, about twelve miles N. N.W. from Gaspar Island." TU IITH RR rA RTICULA RR Catccrra, Juice 2.—We have received here, through the me dium of a French vessel from the Mauritius. the full particulars of the melancholy loss of the Charles Mills East Indianian. The above vessel has also brought the survivors of the unfortunate crew, consisting of the Captain, second Officer, gunner, three men, and a boy. From one of these we learn the particulars of the dreadful event, which has consigned sixty-six of our unfor tunate fellow-creatures to an untimely grave. It appears, that on her passage, OR the 17th of May last, the Charles Mills met with a very severe gale, which increased - towards night to a com plete hurricane, the wind alternately blowing from all quarters. On the 19th the gale still continued with unabated fury, and the whole of the crew were incessantly employed at the pumps, being with difficulty able to keep the vessel above water. On the 19th, the hurricane appeared to increase in violence, and the wind blowing from all points of the compass, rendered the ship totally unmanageable. Several of the crew, who were completely ex hausted, were washed overboard by the tremendous waves which swept over the deck, and the survivors were so completely ex hausted that it was with great difficulty enough could be mus tered to keep the pumps going. On the following morning, the tempest not having undergone the least abatement, all hope of saving the vessel began to be abandoned, and despair took possession of the seamen, who saw nothing but the prospect of death before them. At a little after half-past seven, the boats were hoisted out, all of which, with the exception of one, were swamped. The Cap tain and the survivors mentioned above, hastily got into the boat, and at that minute the Charles Mills foundered, carrying with her Mr. Bell, the Chief Officer, and 65 persons. The last time the above unfortunate Gentleman was seen, was a few minutes before her sinking, when he was standing towards the ,stern. This dreadful catastrophe occurred so suddenly that none of the crew, with the exception of those in the boat, could make any effort for their preservation. At the time of her sink.. ing the Charles Mills was in lat. 15. N. and 85.30 E. The sue. vivors in the boat suffered extreme hardships, being six days without meeting any vessel ; and although in the middle of the fifth day they made land, yet the surf ran so heavy that they were unable to approach, being in dread of the boat being over ser. On the morning of the sixth day they discovered a sail, which they made towards. She proved to be the Spanish brig Scythe, bound from Mauritins, on board of which ship they were immediately received, and treated with every possible attention and kindness, and conveyed to Kedgeree, to which place the vessel was proceeding.

The Mary Ann, Mouth, from Quebec to London, was aban doned at sea on the 27th ult. in a sinking state. Wednesday the ship Lord Wellington, lieu. master. from Quebec for London, put into Falmouth in great distress, having had her bulwarks, staunchions, and all her boats washed away, and her sails either blown away or kplit into tatters. During the whole of the voyage they experienced a continuance of gales, and as their caboose was washed away at an early period, they were unable to dress any victuals during the remainder of the voyage. The vessel also sprang a leak, and they were compelled to throw s considerable part of the cargo overboard. Still the leak gained latn them, and it was only by the utmost exertions at the pumps that the crew were able to keep her above water. For four weeks they continued in this distressed state ; having no other provi sions than bread and raw pork. They would have been wholly unable to support the fatigue of continual pumping. had it not been for a gentleman and lady who were passengers, and who supplied them at intervals with porter and sugar, from their private sea stock, and which the lady regularly distributed to the crew, staying on deck nearly the whole of the time, to cheer and supply them regularly with this most valuable beverage. On Tuesday night they made the Scilly lights; and fearing that they would be driven on shore, the lady distributed amongst the crew a quantity of doubloons, saying that some might escape, and that the snowy might he useful to the survivors. happily their ap- prebendal* wires,* realised; they .ntade Falmouth ea Wed- . ...,....." naL4Nn. nesday morning, and this heroic woman, with her husband, bury. .

Something, however ) ought to be done, and weri respectable Gentlemen to attend, they wouid soon drive the brawlers from this arena of their rudeness and violence. We trust that men of sense will perceive the necessity of arranging some plan for regulating the affairs of this Guild, its a manner that will preclude the recurrence of such disgraceful scenes as have been recently enacted by a turbulent, disloyal, and illiberal faction. Two men, of the names of John Connor and Daniell Aft Aulife, have been committed to jail for the mur der of the Rev. Mr. CREAGH'S servant. They are both 'rated offenders. M.Auliffe is a scavenger, and about sixty years of age. Connor is about sixty. four, and was servant to Mr. LEICESTER, who was robbed ; he is a decrepid wretch, and both were ill calculated for such a desperate undertaking. RIVINGTOWS ANNUAL REGISTER FOR 1821.—1 t would be idle to enter into any eulogy on the general merits of a work m hich, for so long a period, has been honoured with the most extensive patronage, and in deed no library is complete without the Annual Re gister. It is in this work that the contradictory state. 'talents of political events are reconciles! and condensed into one connected narrative. It is here that domestic occurrences are chronicled—public documents trea sured up ; and the discoveries and treasures of science and literature faithfully recorded. The present volume possesses all these recommendations ; and, while the political history of Europe is written with candour and impartiality, the occurrences narrated with care and characteristic brevity, the literary selections display good taste and discernment. It thus forms not only a work useful for immediate reference, but particu larly valuable as a library volume which every class of readers may frequently have occasion to consult. The late eccentric Dr. BARRETT, Vice-Provost and Librarian of Trinity College, Dublin, who was re markable for his inattention to personal cleanliness, had the following notice posted on the College-gate : —" Take notice, the library is closed this week, for the purpose of cleaning " JOHN BA RRETT." Last week an engaging young woman,who had gone to Dundee from Auchtermuty to wait ripen her sister'n child, afflicted with the smalb.pox, caught the infer tion,w hile discharging the tender office of nurse, and fell a victim to its destroying influence. Before she left the home of her parents, she said, " What if I take the small-yor in Dundee,and die?" The sober gravity of age could hardly anticipate that the almost oracular prediction of a much-loved daughter would be sofa tally fulfilled. An incident no less affecting occurred in a neighbouring parish. A young man on the eve of his marriage, and calculating doubtless on the en joyment of " length of days," was suddenly cut off by the same destroying malady ; and after a brief illness be was followed to the grave by the intended partner of his joys and cares,whom the typhus fever snatched from worldly suffering. Yesterday an barest was held at the Wheatsheaf public-house, St. Pancras-road, before Thomas Snit uso, Esq. Coroner, on the body of an infant that had been disinterred by the Police of Hatton-garden, under strong suspicion that the child had been de stroyed. After the examination of several witnesses the Coroner said that there was no proof of murder. It appeared the child, if born alive, had been greatly neglected : the concealment and want of attention was very culpable. Verdict—" Still born." M u RdER--A murder took place at Middle Rainton, near Durham, on the evening of Saturday se'nnight. A husbandman of the name of Spraggon, belonging to Durham, and another man, entered the kitchen of the public-house, kept there by Mr. Robert Dawson, and in the course of conversation accosted a'pitman, of the name of John Stanwick Newton, by asking him if he was not "" Stanwick ?" The latter replied he was, and insisted upon Spraggon's disclosing his name, which he declined to do, and Newton seized him by the neck, and drew his handkerchief so tight as nearly to strangle him. Spraggon succeeded in cutting his neckcloth in to o, and a battle immediately took place, and they fought out of the kitchen into the passage, where Newton struck Spraggon with a knife, which penetrated two inches and a half into his left temple. Spraggon escaped from the house, and, with his companion, proceeded on to East Rainton. Growing faint from the loss of blood, which had flowed from his wound in a very copious manner, he was there put bp bed, and died in the course of a few hours. A Coroner's Inquest was held on his body on Monday, when the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Newton, and against Robert Hild," another pitman, who was drinking id cona patty with Newton, and who struck Spraggon a tre mendous blow on the head, whilst be was in the kitchen. Spraggon has been buried in Durham, awl Newton and gild lodged in the jail in that city, to t sire tkeirarial at the ensuing As saes. SPORTING INTELLIGENCP,. BETTING AT TA' 8 to 1 agst Col.

A snap, of the name of Edward Miller, a porter, whom we never heard of before as a Pedeitrian, proposed, a few days ago, to undertake to walk 54 miles, in 14 hours a day, for four succes sive days. The offer was accepted by a high character in the fancy . ; and on Saturday night the stakes were made good, being fur the amount ofX2O a side. The ground fixed on was 12 miles to and fro on the main Romford road ; and yesterday morning Miller commenced his arduous undertaking, precisely at five o'clock, starting from the Crown and Barleystow, Gray's Inn lane, and performed the ground, arriving at the Pigeons, Strat ford, in good style, 1 hour and 13 minutes within the given time. This morning he again started, at the same hour, quite fresh, and finishes, as per agreement, coming over the stones, (as Townshend did in his Brighton match) every other day, at Gray's Inn-lane at night. Miller is a well-made man, and likely to make a noise in the world as a Pedestrian. Betitng yesterday was 2 to 1 against bins, and to day only 6 to 4. Wright, who undertook to walk from Gray's Inn-lane to Bal dock and back, a distance of 75 miles, for three successive days, completed his arduous task on Saturday, in the following man ner :—He started on Friday, his last day, at 35 minutes past 12 o'clock, and arrived at Stevenage a quarter before ten at night, when, after taking refreshment, he went to bed, and slept until a quarter before one; he then proceeded to Baldock, where he arrived at half-past two o'clock oa Saturday morning; he inane- 1 diately returned back, and got to Stevenage at four, and Barnet at nine, where he rested twenty minutes and took breakfast : he arrived in town, in seeming good health and spirits, precisely at twelve minutes before twelve o'clock, thus winning his match, lamidst the acclamations of the populace, who greeted him with three cheers. This poor fellow, it seems is a man of industrious habits, and a tailor by trade ; but having in the early part of his life been a soldier, and in Egypt, where he caught a complaint, not unusual in that country, in his eyes, be is rendered totally unqualified to procure a livelihood by the business he was brought up to; and it apposes, from the advantage of good health, in dustry, and perseverance, he endeavours to support himself and a family of six children by his efforts in pedestrianism. After Wright's return on Saturday last, a young man of pedestrian notoriety presented himself at the sign of the Crown and Barley Mow, in Gray's Inn-lane, where there was a picked assemblage of Wright's friends, enjoying themselves beer a sparkling bowl, in consequence of their victory, and challenged to walk Wright any distance, for whatever sum he thought proper to name. This preposition came rather unexpectedly, and it came too from a well-known good one on the road. However, after some chaf ft.m on both sides, a match was made, and they finally agreed to walk together a distance of forty-eight miles a day, for four suc cessive days. To-morrow morning they will start from Cray's Inn-lane, and walk twice to the twelfth mile stone on the Bar net road and back. They are to stake and draw £lO on each day's journey, and the first comer in at night to be entitled to it. ARCHERY. The shooting for the Goose Medal, by the Royal Company of Archers, at Edinburgh, was formerly a cruel sport. An unfor tunate goose was enclosed in turf, in such a manner that only one eye was exposed, which was required to be shot through by the victor, who carried off the goose as his prize, and became cap min of butt-shooters for the year. The practice now is, to shoot at a small glass globe, fixed in the centre of the mark at the butts, and the first who hits and breaks it is the winner. The only part of the old practice now' in use, is, that a goose is served up at dinner, which it is the duty of the captain of butt-shooters to carve. We have already stated that the medal this year was won by Job Cobin Wilson, Esq. W.S. The number of shooters present was greater than has been known for many years past.
