THEATRICALS, 774 e lime:ant was revived last night at night at Covent Garden, in a very effective representation. We never saw Mr. fiestaLs to snore advantage ; and the effect which his performance of Young Mirabel produced upon the house was eel ial to the power ever obtained by an actor over the feelings of an audience. The last scenes with the Coate , zap Lamarce, and the Bravoes, was truly excellent. The exultation in his success of being permitted to see the lady borne—the adautation of his conduct to suit the company of the bravoes—tbe mask without. and the fearful agita tion withiu, were exquisitely coloured. We trust the play will be repeated. With • slight alteration in the cast, it would be a disgrace to the Metropolis, if it were played toanv but full houses. The Character of Dareteie is not in the usual way of business with JON'S bat he plays it with a judgment that ensures success. Still be is not au adequate representative; and if a better could be found, it would be desirable. It is a curious composition, and might perhaps be hit off by some hard-headed gentleman who has been found unfit for other business. The Old iiimbel of Mr. W. FARRCN is played delightfully. We never saw an old man more pleasantly represented.—Miss Fools Will highly interesting in (crieusa.—Mrs. CHAT. TIBRIAT is not equal to the cbaractor of Bizarre. Her style Is far too boisterous. We were really afraid that she was going to smite Buret tie swallow this Thole botsle of wine. and to kick him bins in reality. Mrs. VINING was re— epectahle in the part of Lama tee ; and the bravoes were 6 exquisite rogues ' indeed. After the play, a non-descript performa•ce foll owed, which seemed an attempt to combine the ballet with spectacle.— Mr. VENAIRA, from Lisbon, was the contriver of the business, whirls was principally to introduce himself as 4 jumper, and twirler of more than ordinary ability ; as a fencer with the susailtsword ; and a combatant with the symetar; besides displaying a world of pantomimic action, in depict ing the extremity of grief, of joy. " and military dignity." —The audience were very much disposed to laugh at the novelty of the scene; and this disposition was heightened, by the singular gait of M. VP.NA7NA, on retiring up the stage after a display of his really astnaishing powers, as a vaulter, and twirler in the air. Good manners, however, reptesse4l this inclivation, until a droll thing of a ghost, " armed eap-a-pee" presented itself ; when sysoptossa.s of risibility, and disapprobation were Veard carious quariers of the house. We are afraid Mr. Venafra will cerer be very popular. He has great powers ; bat they are of an ord. r not likely to be duly appreciated , at CPVVIII thiplen. We are too phlegmatic to enter into the, warmth of his 4a eptosuisni gesticulation. Fortsee's urcee,l,ll; and itayssß was as effective as before. 'pi . Bain. Itoughliead.

On Tuesday Baronial Carthetv ' Esq. was elected Mayor of the Borough of Liikeard, for the enningyear.— On this occasion, the Bottle Recorder, Earl St. German's, was present, and a great lumber of the inliabitantsattended, in order to,witoess thereault of an application from Mr. J. (loud Anstis, to be admitted a free Burgess of the Borongh, era the ground of his bring the eldest son of a free Burgess, • sad being himself as inhabitant lionscholirr ; which de .seriptioo of persons are particularly pointed out in the Charter of Elizabeth, on which the Corporation rests as the foundation of their privileges, as those by whom the Mayor shall be elected. Mr. Anstis inside his application in • doe form, hut be was told his claim was inadmissible ; and one of the capital Burgesses declared that he was a disturber el the Court. Mr. Ausmis appealed to the Mayor and the Recorder to say, whether by setting forth, in a peaceable and respectful manner, a claim which lie believed to be well kineded, lie was acting with disrespect to the Court, or creating a disturbance, when the Noble R.arl replirdo "cer . tainly not."—Mr.Anatis then presented a protest against the election takng place .by mot-residents, coming from different parts of the kingdom, in order to elect a Mayor for the inisabitina of Liskedr.l. Timis protest was received in sileneeby the Mayor and the Corporation, though there is every reason to . aelieve.that the niew hers who are resident in the Borough mold rejoice at the success of env attempt to fire them from time oppression of nonresidence, who now acteally form a majority of the Corporation, and thus ren der the Patron iudeper&nt of the residents, whose applica tions on behalf of their ;Timbres and friends are said to be received in a manner ml iferent from what they once were Anstis told the Bench that he was prepared to Otis claims in another Comet, and widulrew surrounded by a tigat number of th e inh a ba a ot s , who were !mighty grati fi ed !he mealy and temperate manner is which he asserted his M aio; on the success of which will depend many others.— The ancient records of time borough ehriv that up to the time of James 2nd, the inhabitants of time Boron') were admitted to the privileges of Free Burgesses, on making a _public demand to that effect.

Considering how little remote, comparatively speaking, the !shwa, on is id which Captain Parry spent the two last winters, it is surprising that no accounts from him reached us. His wintering ground is only about 700 miles from Port Churchill, a station of the Fur Traders ; and not, we believe, much more than half this distance from the remotest parts visited by the hunters. By the migrations of parties of Esquimaux, with' wham he often communicated, it might have been expected that he would have been able to transmit intelligence to Mon. Weal. We have no doubt It will turn out that be made attempts of this kind. From the subjoined notice it will be seen, that had any thing detained this adventurous navigator longer, we should have bad accounts of him within a very few days of the time at which he actually appeared. It has been sent as by a Gentleman in Leith, who received it on Saturday from his Correspondent, • factor at Hudson's Bay. Such a uotiee would have been extremely welcome a month ago:—" A party of Esquiniaux that visited Churchill Factory (had. 68.45. lung. W. 94.) this summer, report their having heard that some of the more distant bands, who seldom or never see Churchi I, bed observed two ships in summer 1622, perhaps about the month of Amos,. These we think must be Captain Parry and his colleagues, and, as far as we know, they have not been heard of in any other part of the world."—(Scoltnian.) Captain Lyon, the able coadjutor of Captain Parry, in his recent attempt for the discovery of a North West Passage, was the friend and companion of the late s r. Ritchie, the African traveller. When that gentleman reached M alta, Capt. Lyon, then Lieutenant of his Majesty's ship Albion, volunteered his set vices to accompany him, and as soon as he obtained the sanction of Government, followed Mr. Ritchie to Tripoli, at which place, after being prepared us a Mussulman, they commenced their journey under the protection of the Sultan of Fesaaw, who hap pened to be then paying his tribute to the Bey. tinting the journey through the territories of the latter, the Bar barian conducted himself in a proper manner; bet when he cadre within his own district he ceased his friendly care. On arriving at Morsouk the persecutions of this *shorn eta* renegaJo continued to increase, and suffering the greatest privations in food and clothing, Mr. 'Ritchie paid the debt of nature. Captain Lyon and his survielog EOM. panion, John Belford, also experienced the greatest ' dis tress and ultimately returned to Tripoli, without having • been able, from illness and other unforeseec events, to ;reach the Niger. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Your hal, dated Vith instant:—•" A bottle was found on our strand yesterday, with a paper in it, of which the follow. ing is a copy :—" Brig Jane, of and for Glasgow, John Wyllie, master, left St. Lucia, Monday, the 21st of July. 1823. This is thrown into the sea between Cork and Youghell, Friday the 29th of August, 1823, at 3. 45. p. m. Let it be taken up where it may, a communication to Mr. Robert Kinnear, Glasgow, •or air. Bennett, Secretary ot Lloyd's, will be thankfully received. All well. Signed, Jamas Itiattom.*—(N. B. The Jane arrived in the Clyde on the 2d of September.) TlialPgaT AT 11,16 A.—A letter dated Riga, 17th utt., • gives ttie official account, as submitted to the Authorities, of the dremendous storm that visited that city on the lOth of the same month. It re, ices, substaatially, that at noon, 'ea the day mentioned, there arose suddenly a hurricaneous storm. The wind blew with an impetuosity impossible to he described.. The crash of windows, chimneys, tiles, &e. inspired terror in the stoutest hearts, and the havoc corn• nutted atnoogst the gardens, trees, and hedges, Is serious in the eitreme. A considerable part of the bridge was torn esunder, and driven 'upwaids with the stream. A ballast boat moored near the bridge was sunk, as were also two small Vessels from Mittatt, laden with salt. A large flat bottomed boat, filled with merchandise, was greatly da maged, and the goods injured by the admission of water. Two wooden warehouses tor provisions in the suburbs of St. Petersburg were wholly laid prostrate, and all the hay ricks its the Spilme likewise levelled with the. ground. A large float of timber, en which were six men, was upset ; the twos however luckily escaped. A lady sittin g in her garden lied her face seriously injured by a piece of a broken mast that struck her with great violence. A human body was thrown up on the other side of the IJwina in a sad mangled state. without either head or hands. Amongst the maiine casualties three English merchant ships are re. ported to have been wrecked, and several dead bodies were picked up ,on the river. On the ramparts several large willows, whose roots were thicker than a man's arm were completely deracinated; and oaks too, of majestic growth, were also prostrated by the dreadful force of the storm. In the adjoining woods the number of trees blown down is estimated et some hundreds. • In m word, so tre mendous a tempest is not within the recollection of any living pewit. In consequence of the very heavy rain that fell at the com mencement of the present month, the rivers io the county of Ca rinerthen became much swollen, and on the night of the 4th, Abergwilly bridge, within a mile of Carmarthen, was carried sway by the impetuosity of the land torrent. The mail coach from Gloucester to Milford had not cleared the bridge fifty yards when the accident happened, and the noise occasioned by the concussion was distinctly heard by the guard. The ex tent of the injury was not, however, ascertained until about four o'clock the following morning, when the Hereford post coach, on its journey to that city, was impeded in its progress by the frightful chasm made in the bridge. The coachman re turned to Carmarthen, and proceeded on his journey by the road on the eastern side of the river Towy. A marriage party at Newbigging had their expected joys somewhat clouded by the relentless storm. The cirr i gyman who was to tie the connubial knot, having been unable to cross the torrent that raged between ; the lovers, accompanied by a few friends, set out for the manse, a walk of three miles. They crossed one ram!l stream at considerable peril ' • but in attempting to f u rd the burn ot Inchdoinie, linked in each other's arms, the luckless bride lost bee hold, was swept along the current about twenty yards, and would inevitably have perished, but for the intre pidity of one of the party, who dragged her ashore at the risk of his own life. Love conquers all things; the ardent pair reached the manse, were married, and returned home in safety; when the bridegroom gave so much latitude to his gladness of heart, that he danced and leaped till he / 'fell and dislocated his shoulder.—(Edinburgh Courant) Com.s.—There are 500 sail of colliers in the River Thames, and 100 more for sale yesterday, and yet the pric. of best coals is higher than it was last ninter during the frost, that was severe enough to freeze the River, and to allow of skating from side to side. The price of inferior coals, sed by manufacturers, is too high, although the bear no proportion to the better sort. The quantity of coals imported into London from the Ist of January, 1623, to the 30th of September last, is 120,000 chaWrons more than during the same period last year. Some individuals in this county are carrying on a very lucrative trade in importing apples from Devonshire. Pout hundred unds, it is said, have been realized upon a single cargo.—(Ulaagow Chronicle.) Examen BULL.—The last Liverpool Paper says, that an inquest bad been bold on the body of Ralph Mottram, a watchman, who had fallen into the dry dock. and wa. drowned before Le mkt be taken out OLD BAILEY.—(Tats MORNING.) Mary As Pearde;alies Lady Barrymare, was Indicted for stealing a sovereign and other monies, tbe property of Samuel Bolton, on the 4th October last in the with or St. John the Evangelist, Westminster. The prosecutor stated himself to . be a labouring man, residing at Wallingford in Berkshire. On the 4th of October, he cause up to London, to receive his pension at Chelsea. On th e evening. of ;hat .day he went Into the Heorge and Ball Public 'House in St. Ann Street, where he had a pint of porter. He was not then saber, nor so drunk as to be _unable to know what he was about. At that time he had a sovereign and some silver in his pocket. No woman went into the house with him. There were I persons in the tame box in the taproom with the witness, where he shortly fell asleep. In about half an hour he awoke, and discovered that all his money was I gone. The landlord of the house stated, that on the day in question, the prosecutor came into the' ap Room much intoxicated, and was followed by a black woman, who par took of some porter with him. Wetherby, a waiter at the house, confirmed his master's testimony, and added, that on the black woman going away, the prisoner took her place, and shortly after went out, saying to the witness, " I have eased him." this caused her apprehension. A private of the guards saw the prisoner sitting on the same seat with prosecutor with her band in his pocket. Isabella March, the keeper of a straw bonnet shop, stated that the prisoner purchased a bonnet of ber on the evening of the fourth instant which she had paid for in silver. The Recommit observed that, if the case rested upon the unsupported testimony of the prosecutor; who ap- peared to be a drunken idle fellow. he should direct an acquittal; but it would be for them to determine, whether the evidence of the witnesses confirmed or not the prosecu tor's story. The Jury after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.—The prisoner, on bearing this ver diet, shed tears on qui ting the bar. Edward M'Caffer who was sentenced to be hanged on Wednesday next (this day) for highway robbery, got a respite yesterday morning (Friday, 24th inst.) during his Majesty's pleasure. When the Lord Provost anti Baillie Hamilton were intimating the respite, a distressing scene took place with Cain's mother, who had been told that the respite was for her son, who is under sentence of death.—(Glaagore Courier.) • A very genteel man, in person and manners, shoot 33 years of age, and live feet ten incites high, went to Mr. grailsteres, the sign of the Black Boy, on the Long-row, in this town. on Friday week, as a gentleman traveller, and "was suitably entertained. He gave his address, on a printed card, " D H. Lakeman, Wineanerchant, 1, Bond Court, Wallwook, London," and in the early part of last Week engaged the cellars of Mr. Lomas, in Peter's Square ;and also his best room. for theprofessed purpose of carrying on his business. He also appeared anxious to purchase cotton hosiery to a large amount, and engaged a person who under stood, the business, to buy largely for him, of certain gages 'and descriptions. This person went into the country on Thursday morning, and communicated to the poor frame work-knitters, who were out of employ, the pleising that a gentleman at the Black Boy would purchase all ti e stockings they bad made, of certain descriptions. The same evening, while D. H. Laketnan, Esquire, for so where his letters addressed, was taking tea at the inn, Mr. Braila ford whose suspicions were excited, waited upon him with his bill for the weak's entertainment; this was received in high dudgeon. " Do you dolls' my reapectability," ace, but; liosvenr, apromise wart made that the bill should be paido He was soon seen to take up .bis great coat and bat, anti., 'making' sprins(thiough the kitclorn, bolted into the yard. where Mr. Brailsford pursued and collared him ; finding resistance to be useless, his Squireship, the wine merchant, submitted, and after a long parley • acknowledged he iva4 without money to pay the bill ! Mr. Brailsford therefor• secured a new hat he bad on his head, his great coat, and trunk, and the swindler disappeared, proiniping to come and redeem the things on the morrow. This promise he did not fulfil ; and it was well that Mr. Brailsford detecteill for many poor men came the next day, with bundles of stockings on their backs, from Arnold, Bulwell, Weer ton. Annesley Woodhous-. and other places, and it is sup posed, the Squire intended to purchase, and pay with draughts on Fellows's bank, where he professed to have money, at too late an hour in the evening for the presenta tion of the draughts, and then to have tnoonshined with the . property. Mr. Brailsford was rather keen on this oc caslcm, because, about a month ago, he was swindled in a si milar way by a fellow, calling himself Capt. Jones, of Liver pool, who was tery successful in Isis depredations, paying fur hosiery in tills at one and two ruonths,which are now found to be not worth a farthing! . We mention these particulars to put others upon their guard against such impositions. I n Woman's trunk, which contained little except le•ters and papers, a bill of parcels is found from a very respectable house in Leicester, for hosiery goofs to the amount of 521., dated in July last.—Whetber they have beeh taken in, or not, we have no means of ascertaining.—(Notriagnata Review.) CLONMELL, OCT. 22.—0 n Saturday night, throughout the whole of Sunday, and a great part of Monday, it rained incessantly in this part of the country, so as to cause great floods in the river Suir, by which the banks and the low grounds in their vicinity have been inundated with water, and we fear considerable damage done to the potato grounds and pits within reach of toe inundation. The water so covered the road near Landscape, between l'ipperary and Limerick, that the Mail Coach yesterday morning for Waterford met considerable delay, and the horses were almost obliged to swim through the flood. In the course of yesterday, however, the inundation in a great measure subsided, and the weather has considerably improved. SIIOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—A labouring man, of the name of tieorge Whittington, came by Itis„death on Monday se'nnight in the following dreadful manner:— The deceased was brewer at the King of Prussia public house, iu Newton Street, Birmingham, and was in the act of emptying a bag of malt into • large mash-tub of boiling I water, when by some accident his foot slipped, he lost his balance, and fell headlong into the water, and the bag of nigh falling upon him, prevented t lists from rising. The noise alarmed the landlady.of the house, who ran to his assistance, and with as little delay as possible the poor man was extricated from his dreadful situation. lle appeared quite collected, and uttered the words," 1 am a dead man." gyery means were instantly ream ted to for his relief, bat we are sorry to add, without any beneficial effect; and thel next day he was removed to the hospital, where he lingered in the greatest agony until evening, when lie expired. The deceased had latterly been a newsman at Birmingham, and carried the papers from that place through Coleshill to Atherstone. Late on Monday night, Mr. and Mrs. Wood, residing in Carburton Street, Fitzroy Square, were returning home, after spending the evening with some friends, along Devonshire Street, when at the dour of the house of Lady Bridges, Mrs. Wood, who was pregnant, and near her accoucbensent. complained of being very unwell; Mr. Wood was much alarmed. and the only resource he bad was to call the watchman, who of course could render very little assistance. Fortunately a medical gentleman came up at this juncture. and Mrs. Wood was safety de liiered. on the steps of her Ladyship's house, of a boy. We are happy to state that Mrs. IVood and her progeny ate doing we ll.—(Morning Paper.)

Jack Randall liked his guests, and the risen liked their match, which was 'lade by clapping down another 60 !SOTS, aside, making the stakes 100 sous. to be fought for on the 11th of Nov. The men toasted each other in bumpers of blac't strap, and parted with a drain or two of the Seeger daffy, their partizans joining in the cause. Ward was rather the favourite in betting; but the brave Joshua has no more thought about it than a gallant sailor would in facing a cannon's mouth. A lad named Henry Whitehead, who had been placed by the Master of the National School at Faversham, as first boy of that establishment, was walking in the, street at Faversham on Sunday evening last, when he was met by some other boys of the school, who made some obser. cation of acoff or reproach, which provoked him, and it appears he went to another part of the town, borrowed a pen-knife, and on sowing the party ■gain who had given him the offence, he went directly to one of them named Manoncli, and violently stabbed *him in the body ; the wounded boy was nut immediately aware of the in jury he had received. and was remonstrating with the other for pricking him, when he dropped down, and on being stripped and examined was found to have received a very dangerous wound, and has I een since in great agony, hut is still living.—(Kentish Chron.)

This un fortunate fact made the Committee consider it would be improper to continue Richard Whitehead in' the s• hoot. At the same time they were thoroughly convinced °lbis previously good character and of the mildness and prc priety of his conduct, and that the present offence arose from no premeditated malice or vindictive design. A few weeks since, as one of the freemen of a certain ancient and loyal borough was returning borne, after having received plentiful liba'ions at the shrine of the jovial deity, whom he had previously invoked, he suddenly tell into the mire. A person immediately ran to his assistance, but was prevented by a third individual, who exclaimed, " Stop, stop, you marn't meddle with him ; he is a freeman, and has a right to lay there !" The freeman himself then got op, and managed to reach his own home without sustaining any great berm,
