SEPT. 19. - - --- - On Monday Mrs. MiGIBBor4 (fortheily Miss WOODPALL) "jad e her first appearance in the character of Mrs. Haller, in The Stranger. Her figure is rather diminutive, and her countenance, though not devoid of expreAsion, is not particularly interesting. Her voiceois good, and she does not want for judgment. She went through the character in a very effective style, and a repetition of the pkiy was announced with general applause. Ofl Wednesday Mr. TiAtuv performed the part of Lord Oglety, in The Clandestine Marriage. In many parts of the character he was eminently snccessfial, but occasionally he imparted to the Ohl Beau a degree of energy and fire' that might have led the junior part of the audience to imagine that his Loicklup, while off the stage, had been to the mill where old people are said to go to be ground young. His performance, altogether, displayed great talent, and provcd him to be (what was before pretty well known) a valuable acquisition to the London Boards. On Friday a Mr. VINING, from the Norwich Tt:eatre, made hie delait as Frede: - ick, in The Poor Gentleman. He has a good figure, but a bad voice, and no very expressive countenance. He was fa vourably received, but is not likely to prove of ninch importance, at least in characters like that in which be came out. His voice is so much against him uttering any thing serious, that sentiment in his keeping lco , es all its frce, and morality is completely stripped of 114 dignity. Mr. TER Y gave a very able delineation of Sir RuL . ci - t Bramble. FINE A RTS. DESCRIPTION OF AN ORNAMENTAL VASE TO TIIE MEMORY OF LORD VISCOUNT NELSON, IN GREENWICH HOSPITAL. Every donative made at the shrine of our immortal Nelson, ought to he registered in the records of national gratitude, and treasured up in every British heart, in order to convince other nations that he who shed his blood, lost his limbs, and 'laid down his life for his country, will live for ever in the remembrance of his countrpuen. Animated with a deep anti lively sense of grateful ness and admiration for the eminent services of the lifer° of the Nile and Tritfalgar, the late John Fish, of Kempton Park, Esq. purchased this elegant piece of British workmanship, designed and excented by and under the direction of Mr. Collins, at his glass maim factory near Temple Bar, to st hose classical taste and invention this magnificent Kock does infinite credit. Mr. Fish hail it placed in one of the principal apartments of his villa, end desired that, after his itemise, it should he presented to Goverminlit, which was done accordingly by his widow and executrix, who, havints shared the liberal spirit of her husband during his life, continues evincing the same generous disposition after his dehth. In the center of a triangular stand, imitating the famous marble known by the name of verd antique, rises the elegant fl, , wer of the }illy-shaped anti sacred plant Loins, so peculiarly worshippe:l the Lacks of the Nile, between three dolphins, exceedingly well carved and beantitully gilt, allusive, not only to the n.atit'u:e ex plaits of the Hero, but also to th e family arms of Mr. and Mrs. Fish. They support a basis, alto triangular, will concave sides and flattened angles, and imitating the same sort of marble, around which, in gilt letters raised from the gionud, runs the folluwine in scription--'• To the memory of Lord Viscount Nelson ; the gift of the late John Fish, Esq. of Kempton Park ; presented by his widow and exeentrix." On this second basis, three bronzed spinxes, winged, in allusion to the rapidity of Nelson's exploits in Egypt, support the beautif u l stand upon which the vase is majestically raised. Each side is classically adorned with a crocodile, and the turners present the funeral honey-suckle, the constant ornament of ancient sarcephagi. On one side of the vase, which is of the purest faun, and deco rated with a eiicidar foliag,ed scroll and a wreath of oak-leaves the badge of our navy, appears a crimp most accurately painted on the glass, Irvin a thawing by Mr. Buint y, made for the purpose. It represents Britannia em the right, and Victory on the left, crowning Nelson's bust ; the first with a naval crown the other with a wreath of laurel ; whilst Fame hovering over them proclaims the achievements of the Hero. France and Spain, sitting on the in wetted hulks of their conquered ships, mourn in sad attitude, far the destruction of their navy attthe battle of Trafalgar, which is faith fully represented on the other side of the vase. The whole of these decorations is burnt in the glass, and produces a magnificent as well as pleasing etfeet. The ornaments upon the bronze arc in or moutu, of an uncommon purity and brightness, and the entire height of this monument measures six fret three Indies from the ground. In accepting this valuable gift, Government has generously ordered that it shall he conspicuously placed in the painted room of the first and handsomest naval etiitices in the world—thy Hospital at Gretnwith.

Friday James Leary was indicted for the wilful murder of Edward Clifford, on the 26th of July last, by giving him ::everal blows on the bead with a hammer, by which his skull ss as fractured. Mr. Andrews, as Counsel tbr the prosecution, stated the eirenm s;ances of the case, which were the same as have already been re peatedly detailed to the public, and were proved by the follow ing witnesses : Shnttlew•ortli and another proved finding the bosh• of a man in a pond ,“ the brick fields, near gra d 's Inn-lane, on Monday morn int!, the t'6th of July ; the skull was fiactmed, and a hat and shoes lay near the pond ; the hat aas turn through as though by the blow of a blunt in.truniclit. Mrs. Rourke, tie supposed widow of the deceased, rave the most material testimony : she stated that Clifford and herself had lately Come from Ireland. She had sold a little cabin, &c. fur 301. and nine guineas she received for a horse ; fifteen pounds she had paid for her debts. Cliflnrd hail also brought a few pounds with him, and with this sum they came to England. They came up from the coast in a waggon, mid when slio and her children left the waggon, tiny were sitting down on the pavement in St. Giles's. bei:ig perfect strangers in Loneliat. Mis. Leary, the wife of the prisoner, passed, and asked her if she was from Ireland, and wanted a lodging; on her replying in the affirmative, she said, she would take her home to her own lodging— they accordingly went _there and staid for sonic time, until she and Clifford, by the advice of one Slattery, a young man, got another lodging for themselves. They however continued intimate with the prisoner Leary and his wife. On Sunday morning, the 20,1 i CiitThrd went to Leary's, and she followed; then Clitliwd went out to buy a hat, for which he paid 44. and changed a 11. note, rind received leis. in change. While he was absent, Leary if she knew that Clifford meant to go home to Iteland the next day? She acid she did not.

They then went home, and Slattery was helping to put up some bedsteads for them, so that they did not dine until near five o'clock. Leafy came in with wife, as they were at dinner, and made them fetch more Leer. After dinner they went out. together, and Clifford was r ither tipsy. Leary said, he would get Clifford work the next day. And at about ten o'clock they were going home, Leary came after them and said, he would take Clifford to his master to secure him work f r the next day. She observed it was a wrong time to go to a gentleman's house. They walked very fast, and as she was very.. big with child, she desired them not ,to go so fast.. Leary told her, tkey would go home first, and get something ready for her against she got home. When she got home, however, Clifford wits not there. She smoked her pipe and WWI very unea,y all niglkt at his nut cum-
