Among the amusements of the Recess we have heard of soma Private Theairicals, in which a little good and very much bad acting has been exhibited. Of the former sort we are told that Lord Eld—'s Lockit, and Mr. C—nn—g's Peachum, in The Beggars' Opera, were quite above ell praise. Not having been behind the Sce.ies, or allowed to see who pulled the wires and made the Popu,:ts dance, we can only veal front report, and report says that the 10th Scene, Act ‘2, never had its match on any stage. According to the copy handed to us, some slight liberties, it will appear, were taken with the text, but veils acknowle.lge no bountb, and as every verbal alteration is commeive to t Ike:, such a 11- cense on such an occasion merits approbation rather than censure. _ .

TITHI7II —ln March, 1789, a remarkable Nisi Priuscanse was heard at the Court-house, Kilkenny, before a Mr. Justice Daquery and a respectable jury, in which the Rev. Mr. Stone, ti Kells, in the county of Meath, was plaintiff, and Sidenham Davis, Esq. of Johnsville, defendant. The action was brought to recover 2001. due for tithes leased by the defendant to the plaintill, as Rector of Kiltnocaltil, when, after, a trial of some length, the counsel for the defendant produced a Statute of Charles 1., by which it is enacted, that every rector shall reside 80 days in his parish every year, and preach 13 ser a mons, otherwise he will not be entitled to the tithes or dues of his parish ; and as it was proved that the Rector was non-resident, the jury found a verdict fur the defendant, with 6.1. costs. BREAD-11AILING.—A machine has lately been introduced at Lausautie, in Switzerland, for waling bread—that is, fur preparing the fermentation of the dough, winch seems to deserve imitation in other countries. It is simply a deal box, a foot in breadth and height, mid two feet in length, placed on imports, by which it is turned by a handle like the cylinder used 10r roasting coffee. One aide of the box opens with a hinge to admit the dough, and the box is turned round. The time requisite to produce fomentation depcials on the tempe rature of the air; the quickneas of the tinning, and oilier circum stances. But when the opei mina is performed, it is known by the shrill biasing of the air rit liking its escape, which generally happens in half an hour. Tile ;men is always extremely well raised ; perhaps too mach sometimes. The labour is nothing, for the machine, such as is here described, may be turned by a child. Nu hooks, points, crux,-barn, or any oilier connivance, can be wanted without the box, to break ur separate the masa of dough fur these operation* are sufficiently effected by the adhesion of the dough to the side of the box. If the machine lie wide of greater length, and divided by cross partitions nt the right angle to the sides, different kinds of dough may be pre • pared at the came time. One trident advantage of such a eon trisance is that bread manufactured in this way must be per• ectly .lean and .rte (rem accidental soiling. radii), Earl titimlitpe, whose (tress always cor responded with the simplicity of his warmers, was unce pre• rented from going into the House of Peers by a door-keeper who was UllaLCULtinita cob ill, person.

[Firm the Jamaica Royal Goalie of Aug. 3.1 The following affidavit details a most horrid and diabolical act of piracy and murder. The citeum. stance has been laid before the Admiral, at which he expressed great abhorrence.; he stated that the first brig of war he could get hold of should be stationed in the quarter where the piracy was committed ; and that he was in hopes that some of our cruisers would capture one of those scoundrels, to enable him to make an example : (COPY) JAMAICA, SS.—Personally appeared before me, one of his Maj. sty's Justices of the Peace, Hugh Hamilton, °twiner, woo being duly sworn, makelli oath and snith, he sided as mate on board the sloop Messing, W illiant Smith, master, and bad made three voya l iTs from the port of ()soothes'', in this island, to Si. Jago de Cuba ; and that in the return of the fsssth toy age of the said .loop, about the beginning of the present mo.ith (but the deponent cannot name the day), were fallen in with by a lung black sehoouer, with blaek mouldings (then), the name of Ensesseiel netrked un her stern, and Collllll4lllled by a white snit., with a mixed crew of colour and countries, anion. , whom were English or Americans ; that after bringing the sloop to, the ptivateer or pirate's boats came alongside, and took out the captain and his son with all the crew, and carried them on hoard of the schooner, leaving the sloop in possession of his people ; that be demanded of the captain his money or his life. The captain persisted that he had none, but profit-red him the cargo, which consisted of one hundred bar rels of dour, and 50 tierces of cornmeal (marked 8" within a diamond) ; that on the following day, not producing any money, a plank was run out in the starboard side of the priva teer, upon which be made Captain Smith walk, and that as he approached to the end, they tilted the plank, when be dropped into the sea. and there, while in the effort of swimming, the Captain called fur his musket and fired at him therewith, when he mink and was seen. no wore. The rest of the crew were ironed below, with the exception of his son, a boy of about fourteen years of age, who witnessed the fate of his father While in the agony of tears and crying, the Captain took the bole-end of the musket and knocked the boy ou the head, then took ban by the foot, and hove him overboard ; that on the day following this sad event, having previously taken out all the rigging, sails, &c. of the sloop, be set her ou lire and burnt her ; and on the same day gave the crew, consisting of three others, and he, this depouent (having stripped us of every ar ticle but what we had on our backs), the jolly-host, with a bucket of water, and one biscuit each person, without a com pass, which we asked for, but were refused by his saying he would soouer give hell !—to he off, or he would sink ibem." Thus we parted, and iu the afternoon of the same day were picked up by the schooner Mary Aux, belonging to Black River, and were lauded at Port Morant on the Itith of July, 1b22.

MF,M.—The Captain of :,ie pirate is a tall robust man, of a swarthy complexion, Roman nose, long visage, but cannot speak to any other particu ar marke. About the middle of last month a suspicions-looking schooner, very probably the one alluded to above, was seen hovering off the east cud ; and very shortly after she had disappeared, • vessel of war, supposed to be the Tyne, hove in sight ; and the Bustard could not have been far °flat the time. lt is lobe regretted that she was not fallen in with by either of them, that some of these freebooters of the ocean might have been brought to public Justice, to atus,c such daring crimes, and be thii means in some measure of deterriug others from coutinuing in them. HYDROPHOBIA.— On the 31st of July last, Mr. S. moods, of .ligh-street, Boston, had a dog which went mad, and before it was destroyed hit a men and several animals.— The psr:iculars of iris event hay ing become generally known, the Magiatratea of this borough, to prevent as much as possible the spreading of such a teraible disorder, isaued and gave other public notice, requiring all persons to keep their dogs confined for the spare of one month, stud directing the constables to shoot all dogs found at large. The lime having elapsed, and no miacliief basing appeared, it was hoped that Mr. S)moutli's dog was killed bcture the decease bad suited at that crisis alien the bite became infectious; and the dread ahich the public at first experienced began to subside, and gradually to escape recollection. Unfortunately, however, a sow which belonged to 'Alm Kent, a row-keeper of Skirbeck Quarter, was attacked with the disorder nth 'numbly last, sad aster having showu indubitable marks of hydrophobia, was destroyed. As the dog, during its paruaysiu, gut into the icy where the sow and another pig was abut up, and bit both (the last so much that it was destroyed directly ), there can be no doubt that the infection was thus communicated, though 50 days had intervened. lit the Police Court of Edinburgh a case of some importance to the public was decided on the 10th of thiamouth. A lady, at AS auction of what was stated to he a bankrupt stack of haberdashery gouda, purchased two plaids fur the sum of V. be. -td. These the 'monomer described as consisting of silk, as being of full Mee., that they bad cost each three guineas and were generally sold for three guineas and a half each. Un afterwards examita , ng her purchase, the lady discovered th.t she had been imposed upon by a false description, the attached fringes and burly alone being of silk, while the large figured ends and the ligtited borders were of cotton, and they were besides of a smaller site thins usual: She therefore applied for her money, and offered back the goods, and the auctioneer not complying, she lodged a complaint against him, upon the bearing of which the Cou.t ordered him to restore the pi ice, he getting back the gouda, Slid be was also found liable in the expenses. HIILUMATISM—A young man who resides in the neighbouiltood of Carlisle was, for some time, so severely afflicted with the rheumatism, that lie was under the necessity id having recourse to the use of crutches ; he was recommended to apply young 'miller, to the parts affected ; and after continuing the use of them three or four times a day, for three days, he was completely restored. Officers of the Excise visited Bristol (luring the last week, fur the purpose of ransacking shops and warehouses, o pursuit of foreign silks, &c. At one highly respectable , shop in the silk trade they seized a parcel 0. Irish poplins, under the prateoce that the duty had not been paid. The shop keepers exhibited the invoice Iran an erniuent London house, in vain. At the smite shop they made free with • quai4ity of . Norwich crape, and actually carried it uff, foreign soluinfactuire. mistaking it fur bR.IZII.. We have received the Ciazda de Rio of the 30th of July, but it contains no recount of any political event. It is altogellter flied with addresses from different provinces and towns of Brazil, congratu lating the Prince Regent on the measures already adopted by his government for securing the inde pendence of Brazil, and reeommending the convo cation of a legislative assembly. As a specimen of the spirit in which these addresses are drawn up, we insert the following extract from that of the province of Parahiba do Norte, which was presented by the Minister Jose 13onifacio de Andrada e in the character of u Provincial Deputy : That a generous people, through the medium of me, their legitimate delegate, unanimously deposit in, the hands of pine Royal Highness the authority of managing and directing their affairs, without being obliged to recur to the old world across thousands of leagues of ocean. They wish to obtain that po litical representation which a free and well constituted people ought to possess, and to enjoy those privileges and preroga tives which are their inherent right: but they at the saute time desire to remain subject to Don JU4ltl 41. the august father of your Royal Highness, sod the constitutional King of Portugal, Broad, and the Algary es, to whose generosity Bra sil is indebted for tier emancipation and her rank as a kingdom. With theft views, they look forward to the establishment, in the vast and rich coutinetit of Brazil, of a centre of power anti union, where favours and justice may be found without its being necessary to go to beg them in foreign and remote climes. Comident in their inalienable rights and iu the justice with winch they claim them, the people of Parabilm solicit your Royal Highness to intercede with your august father, in order to proem e his assent to their desire; and that they may enjoy the right of possessing within their own country ■ complete delegation of the Royal power in the august person of the heir of the throne, and a flint support of their linelity in tot virtues and liberalism of your Royal Highness. Ent illy, they Ilatter themselves that the Cortes of Lisbon will out be so b and ol'etinate as to prefer the horrors of a civil war among brothers, to a union founded on the equality sod reci procity of interests and privileges." Auctions.—The following clause, being tlle 18th, in the Salvage Act, passed on the 2.1 of July, 1821, is important to the ship-owners, and furnishes a •aution to the nmoufacturers of anchors:-- ..... - _ Aud be it further enacted, that nil ustutifscturers of on shore and kedge suchurs, shall place his, her, or their liaise or riitmes, augether with a progressive windier, and also the weight of thr anet4ir, in ',glide characters upon the crown, an t also upon the shank under the stock of each anchor, wl ich lie, ■he or they, shall manufacture ; and shall also place his, her, or their mane or WI lies, together with a numlicr, sod elan the weight of the kedge anchor, upon the crown, and also upon the shank near to the stock VI every kedge anchor, which he, ale,, or they, shall manofto•tore ; and in case any such imann fact•crer shall neglect to place such name, number, or wci.;lit, in the manner hereinbefore directed and required, every such Orson or persons so Or, tiding shill, on conviction before any yawl... of the peace or imcgistrate, uu the oath of use creditable witness, or on the confession of the party so offending, forfeit and pay nuy ruin not eaceediug 51. nor less than 4ds. one half of which penalty, sisale be p•tim to the informer, mid the colivc half to the poor of the parish or township ru wht.h such offence shall he committed."
