Saturday, an amateur made his debut in Romeo. From his first appearance to the last scene, he was greeted with bravos, immoderate fit s of laughter, hisses, &c. When he did die, a general encore ensued from every part of the house, and so did he mistake the meaning of the audience, that had not the curtain dropped he would have gratified their demand. On the Tuesday Hlowing he appeared in Othello. The moment he nude his appearance the row began, nothing to be beard but groans, hisses, and an universal cry of of 1 - 4.1 He stood it all till the end of the fourth act, the audience then lost all patience ; their clamours wae so loud, that down fell the curtain ; he con nived to get before it, paraded backwards and for wards for the space of 20 minutes. The Manager :as called for • he prudently kept out of the way.— " Drag him oif" was vociferated from every corner, but all in vain. The play, in the interim, was given out for the next night, and promise made that Othello should finish, with their permission, where it was ; he still kept his station. The lamps were then let down, still he remained. At last they grew desperate, and pelted him with twopenny and penny-pieces, apples, &c. which he deliberately picked up, and offered a reward of 20 guineas to any one who would inform of the persons that threw them. A constable tas called for to bring him off, but he would not stir —at last, one of the performers rushed on the stage, !li.k him in his arms, and carried him off triumph totly, to the no small satisfaction of the house.

A hoy came in yesterday at noon glutted with happy passengers of all ages, who filled the decks, ' , .ad clung about the rigging as thick as flies on a sugared jar. It was a pleasant circumstance to see the jocund creatures land ; some recounted their mi raculous escape from shipwreck off Greenhithe, while others scudded off with their baggage like ants, with a load larger than themselves, in search of a mode rate caravan era. Here they will remain, looking at the pernicious glare of the chalky cliffs, in the blaze of noon, with astonishment, and rotting their best pair of pumps with salt water in search of cockle- Lulls to make a grotto for their bed-chambers in town, till their l an k p urses d enote b ut t h e possession of one weeping half guinea ; when their discretion immediately rings the alarm bell, to impel them, like prudent soldiers, to think of an apt retreat : then they purchase a pound of solid aliment, and an ounce of bohca, and precipitate themselves into the wooden bc)wels, or rather lower cabin, of a friendly boy, where th e y l ay , per d u to catch at the contingencies of eating and drinking, and cease to acknowledge them selves either in Christendom or safety, until they can rapturously behold St. Paul's Church once more.

Five hackney coachmen were convicted yeserday, at Bow -street, in the penalty of 10s. each, for ob structing the highway, near the Haymarket theatre. ESCAPE OF ROBERT ROBERTS AND HARPER.--Yes terday, Mr. CHURCHILL, as the senior Middlesex Ma gistrate, was in the chair, and Mr. Aris, senior, his four ions, and the whole of the servants of the prism were closely examined. It turned out, as was stated yesterday, that the two prisoners were not supposed to know each other, and that the whole of the gates, leading from the confinement of Roberts, six in num ber, were found open in the morning, they having been made fast at locking-up time, on the preceding night. The prisoners then made their escape over the wall, by ascending a new lodge in the prison, not yet finished, and when at the top of the wall they were supposed to have let themselves down by a rope, aj a hook was found in the morning by Daniel Aris, the jailor's son.—The most important witness was a youth of the name of Macar, or M'Gar, who stated some conversation which he had overheard betwixt Da niel Aris and Robt. Roberts. This youth was an evi dence against a party of burglars, and his testimony relative to this affair, with other circumstances of cor roboration tending to implicate D. Aris with having been privy to the escape of the prisoners, induced the Magistrates to commit him to New Prison for trial for aiding and abeting in such escape. It turned out that Roberts had been indulged with walking in the gat den of the prison, after he had been locked up in the even. ing, as usual, at the same time as other prisoners.— Neither of the watchmen could give any satisfactory account of the business. The investigation closed with the suspending of Aris, the Jail-keeper, the com mittal of Daniel Aris, his s6n, and the dismissal of another of Aris's sons, who was a turnkey. Mr. Newport, from New Prison, Clerkenwell, is appointed successor to Aris, at the Coldbath-fields Prison. The youth who gave evidence against Daniel Aris, was committed to Tothill-fields, Bridewell, and to be kept private. No clue has yet been had of Roberts or Harper. The evidence against Roberts, relative to the forgery upon the Bank, was quite conclusive, and a woman he cohabited with was admitted an evidence in the business. It would defeat the ends of justice to publish the particulars of Roberts's examinations, as several other persons are involved in the business who cannot at present be found. •• . 719 . THE JEDIPM OP TRZ STAR. August so, t s to. The following lines have been hastily written in answer to these signed ALLEN CLINNINORAM, which appeared a few days since in your paper, and if they are thought worth insertion, they are at your service. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, a. Awake, awake, my sleeping lyre, And, equal to thy Master's fire, No longer sooth the love sick swain, But raise thy notes in stern disdain; See, Scotia's Thistle tow'ring grows, And lords It o'er the English Rose; Vain hope ! that Rose immortal fiow'rs, And in Britannia's bosom tow'rt! Sweet Rose, thy charms In Britain's fair Unrivali'd bloom—beyond compare, In battle 'tis thy triumph glows, What tints can match thee, bloodstain'd Rose? In Acre's plains, on Sydney's brow, Thy lustre bade the Tyrant know What NeLson's thunders loud proclaim'd On Nilus' banks, for Victory fam'd. Hark! where on far Trafalgar's shores, Again the British thunder roars ! So Talavera, on thy plains, The blood-srain'd R.se the laurel gains; But see! e'en now down Cos's tide Th' ensanguin'd torrent rolling wide, See Gallia's Lily bianch'd with fear : Trembling avoid the English Spear ! It's warrior head the Thistle rears, And tow'ring grows 'mid gloomy spears ; Unyielding seeks the Battle's roar, • And deeply lxtthes in hostile gore The Shamrock too in honour glows, Close by its side the sister Rose: 0 ever thus in union great, May each support the parent state! Let Gallia% Eagles proudly soar, And rashly tempt the British shore; Serenely great amid the storm, BRITANNIA treats the threat with scorn ! See on her shield, in union sweet, The Rose, the Shamrock, and the Thistle meet ! Yet Britain's Rose, her blood-stain'd Rose, No rival fears, no rival knows ! THE SAMPFORD GHOS7. The Taunton Courier, which has pledged itself to ex pose what it states to be a trick, has published the fol lowing particulars relative to the Sampford Ghost, and promises more : 46 Mr. Chave, it appears, has lived in the house (the haunted house) he now occupies at Sampford IPeverell, about seven months. Before he came to !this place to exercise his preient business of a huck ster, the premises in question were unmolested by its present troublesome guest. Mr. Chave brings into the aforesaid premises two servants, the one some what stricken in years, the other a girt about eighteen, called Sally. A person named Taylor (Mrs. (.have's brother), is also another inmate of the house. 6 6 About a fortnight ago two Gentlemen, from Taunton, attended the troubled house, and requested permission to pass the night in the haunted room. Taylor looked out of his bed-room window, which is next to the haunted room, and assured them, that it would be of no use for them to sit up unless there were females in the house, for otherwise nothing was ever heard, and there were then no women in the house. Entreaties were in vain, and the gentlemen alluded to retired, after a promise of being admitted the next morning. Accordingly they went to the house early on the next day, and were entertained by Mr. Chave with a history, compared with which Ba. ron Munchausen's adventures form a series of proba bilities. After having had the monster described (very much resembling a black rabbit, only wonder. fully larger !) and which, when pursued, escapes through the close palings of his garden in a moment, permission was allowed to visit the haunted room, but which was delayed by Mr. Chave a short time, be cause the maid-servants were not up. Proceeding at last to the chamber, Mr. Taylor's room was passed through. He was lying in bed Kith a drawn sword on,it. The unfortunate chamber was then examined, and agreeably to the prescribed mode of,incantation, the floor was stamped upon, and the ghost politely en. treated to favour his visitors with a few conversational thumps, but it was not so inclined. Not a single knock, tap, groan, or even a social grunt could be extorted from it, and all attempts at a friendly dia logue proved utterly fruitless. In the adjoining room where Taylor slept, some boards had been taken up. A considerable hollow depth appeared underneath, but hcw far it went Mr. Chave did not know. Sally was interrogated as to the attacks which have been made upon her by the monster. She observed, 6 it never came when there was light in the room. She had caught it twice; that it was very large and heavy, felt like a dog or rabbit, and so powerful that she could not hold it ; that it usually came as soon as the , light was withdrawn, and vanished on its appearance —that she had repeatedly been slapped by some in visible means ; and that she lately saw through the sheet, while her head was under the bed-clothes, a man's hand and arm, perfectly white !' All this in the dark, too ! Oh, Sally !! ! 44 Since the above stated particulars occurred, it has been ascertained that the ghost never visits Sally while she is asleep ; for this damsel, in the middle of the night lately, while two Gentlemen were in the adjoining room, having got into a profound sleep, and the ghost being perfectly i eaceable, the experiment was tried by waking her. Soon after, Sally, by her repre sentations, evinced that the ghost had not forgotten her, though, like Sally, it had thought bt to indulge in a little nap. 46 But what end is proposed in the conduct of so detestable a plan ? Our Readers must have a little patience. We know the end in view, and the public shall be very soon in full possession of it. In spite of the ghost's solicitude to be always in the dark, we are mistaken if we do not succeed iu bringing it to light. 66 Of Sally, Taylor, and the old woman, we shall say nothing at present. We have gone beyond our limits,-and must postpone many other particulars con , netted with this vile farce until our next." NEAT ASSIZES. MAIDSTONE, AUGUST' 30. , 44 1 / 4 4 DOE. ON Tilt DEMISE OF HONYWOOD, V. LORD ItAIDJ-41. This was an action of ejectment to recover the pos session of some small parcels of land, situated be tween Hythe and Folkston, in this minty, which Sir John Honywood, the plaintiff, claimed AS belong.. ing to him, and Lord Itatinor cl timed as part of the waste of his manor. The place in question was a narrow slip of land, between a sea-wall and the sea, called the Slipe ; and the evidence consisted of read ing a great number of ancient deeds, deducing the title of the Honywonds from the time of Queen Eli zabeth to the present day. For the defendant a great number of ancient deeds were also read ; but on comparison of the several deeds, they did not destroy the plaintiff's title; he, therefore, under the direction of the Learned Judge, had a verdict.—. The cause lasted for several hours. CHALK r. WYATT. This was an action of trespass, for entering the plaintiff's close, in the Island of Sheppy, near the sea. shore, and taking and carrying away the beach of the sea. The defendant was Lord of the Manor, aid claimed the right of taking all th. stones and beach thrown up by the sea. This case was tried before, and was a long.contested right between the parties ; the Plaintiff contending that the Lord of the Manor had no right to take the beach beyond the ordinary high water mark; ani the defendant claiming it by a pre- - scriptive right, wherever it was cast up by the sea. The case, however, went off on the form of the pleadings—Lord ELLEN BOROUGH being of opinion, that as the defendant had pleaded 'amply a right of entry, for the purpose of taking the stones, that he was not justified in coming with horses and carts, which the evidence proved him in this instance to have done. A verdict was taken for the plaintiff— Damages se2o. CHARLTON V. FOWLS. This was also an action of trespass for breaking his dose. The defendant justified, as being a common landing-place. The facts of the case were, that the defendant landed his goods on a certain place on the bank of the Medway; and the question was, whether it was a common landing-place or not?—After a great number of witnesses were-called, it turned out, that from the time beyond the reach of memory the spot in question was a common landing-place.—The Jury therefore found a verdict for the defendant. THE RING W. BROTHEHHEAD. This was an indictment against the defendant for having in his possession naval aores, the property of his Majesty. By the evidence of a custom-house of. ficer it appeared, tharhe 'saw the defendant's cart on the Rochester-road, and suspecting that it contained smuggled goods, he searched it ; but, instead of find ing any goods, he discovered 52 copper rings, marked with the King's mark ; and also 1261 b. of new cop per in bolts. Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, addressed the Jury, and stated, that he had bought them at Grave send, wholly ignorant that they Were King's stores, of a person who abscbnded as soon as the defendant was taken into custody. • No witnesses were, hbwever, produced to prove these facts.—The Jury, without hesitation, found him guilty. DUELLING.—During the late Assizes of Trim, a trial of considerable interest occuried before Baron Sstrrn. Cornelius O'Brien and CorreliushisDonogh, Esqrs. were indicted for the murder of riancis Drew, Esq. The death happened in a duel, in which Mr. M'Donogh acted as O'Brien's second. It appearing from a variety of proof, and especially from the evi dence of John Pollock, Esq. that the original provo cation had been offered by the deceased, (by whom also the message had been sent), that Mr. O'Brien had been uniformly desirous to accommodate the bu siness, but had been prevented by the imprudent con. duct of Mr. Drew, and it likewise being in evidence that the prisoners seemed hurried to the ground with some precipitation by their opponents, rather before the time appointed, and with some circumstance of de fiance, and of an irritating nature, the Judge charged the Jury—that though homicide ensuing upon a duel, fought by deliberate appointment between the parties, was murder, yet to constitute this offence it was necessary to connect the meeting with such deli berate appointment ; and accordingly, in the present case, if, upon evidence, there was even reasonable ground to doubt, whether the meeting, hurried on, was not rather to be referred to intervening causes of an irritating nature, and occurring too recently to leave time for these passions which they had raised to subside—he thought the Law might %arrant a ver dict of Manslaughter. One of the Jury observing fiat, as the deceased fired at the same moment in which he received his adver sary's shot, the prisoner's discharging his pistol was an act of self-defence, his Lordship corrected this er roneous view, by remarking that, as the priioner's coming to the ground was a voluntary and illegal act, he could not be permitted to justify any fatal consequence that ensued—and the only question would be, as to the extent to , which he ought to be considered as criminal?—The Jury, under these direc tions, found a verdict of Manslaughter. When the prisoners were called up for judgment, his Lordship animadverted at considerable length on the cirehmstances of the case ; professing his abhor rence and contempt for the character of a professed duellist, and especially of a veteran in that sangui nary art, expressing his fears that Mr. O'Brien's offers to accommodate had been more plausible than sincere ; inasmuch as he knew that a blow had been given, and not only offered for this, through his aged second, what might be called a mock apology, rather aggravating the offence; but when called on to make that satisfaction which punctilio was thought to re quire for a blow, peremptorily refused to do so. He observed that this was not the first combat in which "Mr. O'Brien had been engages, and that he feared he had not previously escaped the reputation of a fighting man. He also dwelt in terms of disappro. bation, on what, he said, fortunately for the prisoner, had appeared but indistinctly on the evidence, namely his having, shortly before the duel, practised shooting at a mark. The Learned Judge closed by sentencing the convicts to an imprisonment of some months, and requiring them to find security for their future good behaviour. Mr. O'Brien having addressed the Court in mitiga. tion of punishment, his, Lordship closed, by limiting the imprisonment to the lows of a week.
