E TEMA I RES. ENGLISH OPERA. Tire pe:formance of . MATHEWS in each of the pieces a: this Theatre, List night, attracted an overflowing au dience; his iliorbien continues to be received with ad miration, and the occasional bursts of laughter, that shook the sides of every spectator, proved his delinea tion of the character true to nature; his humour appeared ever new, every word, shrug, or grimace, was original. 4 , Eze Wogs of IF ind.sor," was equally vel received. lnde;:,l, the Caleb Quotem of MATHEWS was of itself a sufficient attraction; his songs were given with great hurtul:l., particularly that of the Volunteer Field Day and .'horn Fight. RATNEE . S John Lump is a most ex cellent personification of the Yurkshireman. HAYMARKET THEATRE. High Life Bekm Stairs was revived at this Theatre last night. Many of the points, which originally told with such extraordinary force that the footmen, one -and all, resolved to annihilate the farce, have now lost somewhat of their pungency. Last night, however, many of the characters were played with ability. COOPER, as Lovell, was easy in the master, assumed the disguise of a country boy with marked *correctness,. and finally dismissed the villain and his accomplice with manliness and decision. LISTON was My Lard Duke. The Public have been long familiar with the perform. ance. Last night, as usual, the Minuet was the most attractive part; for much of the character was unen livened by humour or exertion. Philip is a part un• suited to HAMMOND. HP is an actor possessed of some . talent, but his folic lies in pet sonating the ruffian, and not in depicting the smooth-faced, lying knave. The Sir Harry of HARLEY was exaggerated, bat sufficiently ridiculous to be laughable, ani natural enough to be amusing. Kitty has long had an admirable representa tive in the intelligence and never-failing execution of Airs Gteas. " Lver fair and ever young," her spright liness is still undiminished, her humour still unchanged, %:d her spirit as brilliant as ever. She is the very Queen of laughter, and enjoys the text of Shikspur's ablest illustration with unrivalled gaiety. Ladies Bab and iaulotte were well filled by Mrs. C. JoxEs and Mrs. UY: ICIL• The farce was received with applause by a tt itael'OUS audience. BRIGHTON, SEPIIIOII3ER 21.

EMS THE CORE ADVERTISER. . WHITEBOYISM. Wednesday night last, some of the deluded mis• creants who have so long disgraced this country by their. crimes, entered through a window, which they forced open, into the parish church, at Whitechuich, which lies on the Old Mallow road, within four miles of the city. They conveyed a large quantity of pitch and tow, together with some gunpowder into the church ; after strewing these materials along the pews, and under the pulpit, they applied a light. The combustibles must have been quickly consumed, as the fire did not extend much beyond the pulpit, which gave way. Some of the pews were partially burnt, but we are happy to add, that the fire did not reach the roof. We are informed that two persons have been arrested wh o are suspected of having been concerned in the murder of the Franks family. The.following circum stance, which occurred at the Nlallow Sessions, is worthy of attention, as connected with this event. SPECIAL SESSIONS. A Court was held under the Insurrection Act, at Nlallov, on Thursday, the 18th instant. John Sheehan was charged with having certain am munition in his possession after having been called upon by an authorised person to deliv_er them up, and also with being absent From his dwelling-place. John Donman, policeman, stated, that he was on duty on the night tat the 15th September, at Killairel len, where he met the prisoner, at about half-past nine o'clock ; witness asked him where he was going ? but he gave no satisfactory answer. Witness carried him to the guard-house. John Clark stated, that he had been ordered to search the prisoner's person; and before he did so, he de manded whether he had ammunition or arms con cealed ? The prisoner replied, that he had neither.— Witness then proceeded to search his person, and found a small box of slugs and a piece of lead concealed in his waistcoat pocket. Ilis coat, at the back, was stained with Mood, which appeared fresh. Pt isoner said his nose had been bleeding The prisoner could give no satis factory account of himself: he was interrogated by Mr. Lowe, and it appeared that he had slept at Walhtown (near Mr. Franks' house), on Me night after Mr. Franks and his family were murdered. He was a young and seemed to be shrewd and intelligent, although sullen and reserved. The Magistrates without hesitation convicted the ptisouer, who was sentenced by Mr. BLACKER to be transported for seven years. NAVAL LVTELLIGENCE. Dr. TIA Ries has returned to Greenwich, with his chronometera in the CaLuore. Thezesult of his observations, in the Stamm riot, has been a discovery that the longitude from Greenwich to Falmouth is set down in the published accounts. one mile short from Falmouth to Madeira, it is correct. The trigonometrical sur veys which have been made, wiU consequently prove incorrect ; but the discovery affects nothing relative to practical seamanship.

LEGHORN, SEPT. 3.—Letters from Corfu say, " Lord BYRON hai just arrived in Cephalonia with the money and ammunition which he had promised the Greeks : though he is most impatiently expected in the Mores, he has judged that he ought not to depart without the in sti uctions of the Greek Government, in order that the succours he brings may be directed to the most suitable point.

INSOLPENT DEBTORS' COURI-TIIIS DAY- On the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. Pon- LOCK made a motion on behalf of Lord CHARLES SPEW.. cgs CHURCHILL, who has been for sometime a prisoner for debt, in the King's Bench prison, and whose Peti tion to be discharged under the Insolvent Act, has been for some weeks filed in Court, prayitg that the time for filing his Lordship's schedule might be enlarged. The motion was grounded on the affidavit of Mr. Jobson, his Lordship's Attorney, which stated, that since his Lordship's Petition was filed, the deponent had Ire-, quently attended him, for the purpose of preparing his schedule, and had always found him so much indis pored as to be wholly unable to give the necessary in structions, being generally confined to his bed by the severity of his indisposition.—The motion was granted as a matter of course. Yesterday, Hamilton Collins SonpLill was opposed h) Mr. HEAT% on behalf of Mr. Picketing, who stated that he resides at Hackney, and employed the insolvent as hi. steward and agent. on an estate in Cheshire, in the year 1821, having received a high character of him from Sit William Cunyngham Fair be. The insolvent lit some time conducted himself highly to Mr. Picket ins satis fitction ; he made a survey of the river Mersey, and pointed out considerable improvements in the salmon fishery of the river, in which Mr. Pickering was highly interested. Mr. Pickering having some reason to be dis satisfied with the insolvenes conduct, wrote to him from London, on the 21st of March, 1821, countermanding the insolvent's authority to receive any more rent on his account, ttie receipt of which the insolvent acknow ledged by a letter dated the 27th March, but continue.) to receive the rents' to the Bth of April, when Mr.. Pick ering went down to his estate. The insolvent Om re fused to pay over the money he had received, and Mr. Pickering brought an action against him, and obtained a verdict by consent, for 135/. having allowed the insol vent every sum he had paid, and 351. for his services for the half year he was in his employment. The ins..l - gave receipts witho❑t dat . cs, for the rents he re ceived after his authority was countermanded. The insolvent was examined in explanation by Mr. CooKE, and stated that there was no agreement between him and Mr. Pickering, and that 501. was no more than an adequate remuneration for his services, in making a survey of the river Mersey, and 501. for his services on the estate, instead of which he was allowed but S5l. on the trial for his whole services. Mr. HEATH addressed the Court in aggravation. Mr. COOKE for the insolvent. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER pronounced the judgment of the Court. The insolvent's receiving rents after he had received Mr. Pickering's letter, countermanding his authority, was, he said, a deliberate act of fraud, and called for severe animadversion. The judgment of the Court was, that he should not be discharged till he had been imprisoned at the suit of Mr. Pickering sixteen months from the date of filing his petition ; and that he should be imprisoned within the walls of the prison. John Lee, a publican, was opposed by his brother and another creditor iri person. In the course of the inves tigation of this case, which displayed the existence of much bad feeling towards each other between the bro thers, it appeared that the insolvent had made declara tions of his intention to pay his opposing creditors nothing; and that, having received i.:50 from his At torney while in prison, he remained two months longer in confinement, during which time he expended the £5O, and then filed his petition, instead of having done so at 9tlce, and divided the money •so far as it went, fairly amongst his creditors. The Couttr, on these grounds, remanded the insol vent for six months,, and ordered him to be confined within the walls of the prison. John Elgie, opposed by Mr. PoLLocc, on behalf of the executors of Henry Savory, was remanded to obtain the consent of three-fourths of his creditors-to his dis charge;.he having entered into security for another per son within the period of five years from the date of his former discharge under the Act. Mr. William Eark was opposed by Mr. lIEATfi, on behalf of Mr. Striven. The insolvent stated, that he was recent proprietor of the East London Theatre, where, by unfortunate events, he became bankrupt ; after which he was a literary cha racter. Sir John Perring was a considerable creditor when the Commission was issued, and that Gentleman used his influence to render his condition comfortable, and through his influence, coupled with that of other Gentlemen of civic consideration, he obtained a situa tion in the British Commercial Insurance Company, Cornhill, where he received a per tentage on the shares. His receipts from this Institution were 901. and 1251. Afterwards he was engaged by Lord Strathmore—from him he received 1001. at the outset, and he stipulated to receive 5001. a year salary, to arrange his Lordship's affairs, which sum he had actually received. Since his bankruptcy he had received 7001. and contracted debts to the same amount, as he stated—but his schedule ex hibited other larger sums, in the shape of liabilities, which increased the aggregate. On inspection it wined out that there were several inaccurate statements in the insolvent's schedule and halance-sheet•—hence the Court intimated that the case must be adjourned, in order that the documents might be put in a more tangible shape. The insolvent attempted to exculpate himself on the ground of ignorance of the !tiles of the Court, but the Commissioners told him it was a mere matter of figures connected with common sense, and it was surprising that a person who had conducted a Company, and filled a respectable commercial situation, and also had been in another situation of. high trust, under Lord Strath more, should attempt to shield himself with such a sub terfuge. The insolvent again attempted to speak in explanation, when The Canty COMMISSTOXER handed to him a docu ment he had signed, which .he said was his hand-writ ing—when the Court informed him, that if he would unwittingly sign papers he must take the consequences of his want of mature deliberation. • The insolvent was remanded generally, and ordered to give four days' notice to Mr. Heath's client, and also to - Mr. Hubert,•who appeared to oppose in persons A letter received.yesterday from Valencia, dated the 6th instant, gates, that the Fiends had sustained a re pulse before Tarragona.

Tattersall's, to-day, was thronged by sporting characters ci every denomination, bring p.iy-(1...y. after the Doncaster St. Leger. Thou sands changed masters se-m, gly in a very cheerful way, but, as usual, there were sunk: grumbters. and who could not bring their accounts into a pleasing torin. Amongst the unpleasantriess there seems to be one of a tolerably heavy Nature, between an old Legof the first class and a younker, scarcely at present known in tbe mar ket ; but for a time we shall fcrego entering into the full partieulan of the disagreement, understanding the matter in dispute is likely to be brought before theJuckey Club. There was but little bestlhg, and the hor.-es talked about V ere mostly for the Lleacaster St. Leger of next year. Below is the present state of the odds: GRAND Dust 11ICHAIL STACta (KEYS MONDAY).

His carriage he made him-elf. which is composed of rude pie.:es of stick tied together, and without springs. It stands very bib, and is covered with a piece of patch-work quilt.

He had a sack full of apples, and to those persons .vhitto he recognised as his azquaintanc, she presented one. Mr. Hurst and his vehicle e•:cited a great deal of curiosity; and upon the whole it is ono of the Most eccentric performances that can be Imagined. ARCHERY. The Fourth Meeting of the Society of Archers took place at I.lyeltley Lodge, in Needwood Forest, the residence of G. Sneyd, Efti. on Thursday last. The company began to assemble soon after two o'clock, when the hand of the Staffordshire Militia struck up for the archers to repair to their targets, three of which were sized ot, the lawn in front of the mansion. The Prizes were well con tested by a numerous company, and were at length adjudged to Miss Sneyd, daughter of the owner of the mansion, and Miss Char lotte Sneyd, of Keel, whose shooting nothing could posagaly sue pa,:q. At the moment her how was elevated all hearts panted, and a death-like silence prevailed, when no sooner did the arrow fly from the bow,tha:: it struck the ce:tre of the target ; and the band immediately struck up " the Onqueritig u," whilst a shout burst front tha populace. The fair victor was borne away by the young archers, decorated with a crew❑ of roses. Af er the shooting, the company sat down to an elegant rntertainny.•nt, and the treat concluded with a Ball, which lasted until morninz's dawn. ROWING MATCH. Yesterday afternoon the Hungerford Prize was contended for by eight pair of oars, and decide - d in three heats, by young watermen, belonging to those stairs. The conditions were, that the first two boats in the first and second bees were to be entitled to contend for the grand Prize. The competitors accordingly took their station from buoys sittiated io the centre of the river nplio-ite the Adeiphi, to row twice round a boet, moored off the Spe.k..r% House, West minster, down the north shore. round the floating bath at Water loo-bridge, and back to the Prize Wherry, lying Off Ilungerford Stairs. In the first heat, Purple and lihie distanced their opponents, at:6 in the second, Green and tit own won with case. About six o'clock, the contest for the Grand Paize took place by the successful csndidates in the preceding heats. For some time the competitors kept alongside each ether, and many friends of the par ties became doubtful who would he the winners; hut Beckett and Braithwaite (t Teen) taking the lead, succeeded in nhiintaining their distance, and finally won the Prize, which they leaped into, sur rounded by their friends.

The young man gave them about forty shilli.zs in silver; but, not content, one of them said-- , .‘ , You have more than that," while the Other struck him a severe blow on the left arm with a bludgeon.
