want of incident and humour. There was one scene be. Mean Mrs. CHATTIRLEY and Mr. MARIAM not badly con ceived, bat the execution was imperfect, and the contest at the close was so violent that we know not whether the omission of many unnecessary explanations,and the general curtailment of the dialogue, will be sufficient to save it eventual) , from condemnation. ENGLISH OPERA Housa.—Saturday evening Presumption, or The Fate of Frankenstein, was repeated for the fifth time. As considerable disapprobation followed the fall of the cur tain, it will prebably he soon withdrawn. For this reason 1111 the less tocessary for as to say any thing more about it. Had it been likely to have had a run, we might have raised a strong objection to the moral of this piece, for we hold it to be neither impiety nor presumption in man to attempt every thing that' comes within the range of his powers, whether mental or corporeal, otherwise we mast burn oar telescopes and our microscopes; we mast forbid any future Sir Isaac Newton to pry into the secrets of the lies rens ; and any second Benjamin Franklin to meddle with their thunder and lightning; and Mr. Green must never presume to make another voyage over the gooseberry bushes M his Coronation Balloon. If any one can 'by his study and labor prorince what is dseful to hit fellows, he will merit their gratitude; but if he only invents engines of Jest ruction—catamorans and Congreve rockets-4e will deserve their execiatitn. The audience was much better pleased with the next piece, Lone auto's: the Hoses, in which Mr. Da smelt's acting• was excellent. The eveni ne's amusement terminated with Alliateursand dieters, for the vcond lime this season. ASCENT OF MR. GREEN. On Friday. Mr. Green, (accompanied by Mr. Henry Si monds, of Broad-street.) made his ninth ascent, from this town et s ',es minutes to are o'clock, the balloon rose majestically amidst thu accl 'mations of innumerable spectators. Mr. Ore.'s was sten tint up in the car, bowl is; to the spectators, and Mr. Simonds waved the flag in token of the confidence he felt in hie new and perilous situation. The weather was pretty favourable,wind brisk.south west by west. and consequently the belloon moved quickly in the opposite eirection : in one mi nute it hail ascended to an so immense height, and took a steady course over Wargrave ; in about fifteen minutes it was obscured In a white cloud, but soon re-appeared, and was vi sible In the whole half an hour. It was a very interesting ob ject as it hung upon the hedge of the clouds, occasionally dis• a opeadng and the most intense anxiety marked every coun termen wt d the smallest vestige of it could be discerned.— . This (reline afterwards increased when totally out of sight. • end the greatest sympeby was manifested respecting the cntirse and the safety of tare intrepid navigators. From this ut.certainty we were relieved by the arrival. at three o'clock on the following atterooon, of Mr. Green and his oompaynon tit ruyayr. Mr. Green thus details the par ticolars of the voyage :—On ascending, the balloon pursued a steady N. H. course *after which, having pas.ed over a large field of clouds, they met with a current of air from the N. IV. Finding then that they had lost sight of Reading, and the machine proceeding with great rapidity, the valve was opened' and they began to descend ; but tin passing through the clouds, no favourable opportunity to alight presenting itscle, about 20Th. of bel le,' were hove over : the balloon then re-ascended and eon tin led its progress. About half-past five, observing that the country was open, they contimeed It sating at about 2,CoOft. from the am face of the earth. tilt they arrived at a spot which appeared favourahle for their descent. being free front either woods, growing corn, or houses. The valve was again opened, and a safe descent effected in a grass field belonging to Mr. Franklin, at North Mints. in the county of Hertford, at a quarter before six, having travelled a space on the map, of ahoot 40 miles. This, however, is no criterion of the a -ace eternally passed, as the variation of errors-, occasioned by different contents of air, render it im po-sible to cakidatet it with accuracy; but Mr. Green thinks it cannot nave been lest than between 50 and 55 mi;es. • M the greatest elevation, the mercury in the barometer ' stood at 24. 2., indicating an altitude of 6.248 feet, or near a mile and a quaker. The thermometer fluctuated from 62 to 42. In securing the balloon and car, every assistance was re ceived from the persons near the .pot, and particularly from a gentleman who bad assisted Mr. Green in descending, in the same parish, after his first asrent at his Majesty's cure talon. The gentlemen (whose name is unknown to Mr Green) kindly offered refreshments which time did not allow them to accept. Ile also promised to convey intim illation to the friends of Mr. Green in London; be being pledged to ace pacy Isis companion to this town. The gas being dist barged, and the hallows parked up. a mes senger was dispatched to Hatfield for a post-chaise. In the interim, several gentleman arrived, and tendered every kind office 'to the voyagers. A g them wrre Sir %V. PITY". P"llssn-house, Walhant-grerit; Hammond, H.q., of Potter's liar; and J. 0. Bricknell, Esq., of Coluey, near St. Alban's. To die intrepidity of 31r. Simmonds, Mr. Green pays his highest ceemplintents; nothing - could uxcred his undaunted coolness and strength of nerve. I t appeared at first to Mr. tirern, as well as to many other persons, that from the calamity under which Mr. Sinnuotstis labours (fie being deaf and dumb) the risk at the time of descent would be considerably iocrease I I by the impossibility of orally coin fumicating aide him ; bat his undeviating attention to th orders lie at that received, bis esteem, steadiness and pre mice of mind in adhering to the balloon while dragging along the ground, ale above all praise. In fact, to his pro per conduct at OM proper occasion, Mr. Green attribute much of his own safety, as well as that of the balloon. The descent itself st as very gradually accomplished.; the car touching tile ground so gently, that the shock was scarcely perceptible. use balloon was driven aloug the statue of the ground ; several labourers seized the ropes, but by the violence of the wind acting upon the balloon, the skin was "tripped from their hands, and the balloon escaped; the grappling iron caught a tree, and tore off a branch to which it tastened; and the ballot/Is at last was elm wally stopped by a person fastening the rope round a gate-post.

Extract of a Letter from Eastbourne, August 1, 1323: —" Within the last few days, a circumstance occurred, here which has given rise to a conjecture, that lass excited some interest, and obtained no small degree of credit. It will, no doubt, be recollected by many of one readers, that about two years CEO, the East Lothian Bank was robbed to a very considerable amount, anal that a man of the name of Barthwick (for whose apprehension a reward of one thousand po.inde was ' , tiered) was snopeeted of being deep ly concerned in the robbery. He was described as having a srar on the left eye-brow, and another on the right leg, which have led to a suspicion, that a stranger, who the other day was seized by a tit anal soon after expired here, was Borthavick. hie holy exhibiting the distinguishing marks above stated, anal in other respects corresponding with the description iriven of him. The body has in con sequence hen opened by a medical 'widen an, who took the means necessary for preventing immediate putrefaction, as the corpse, it is thought, will not be hurl. d until it shall have been seen by some person of the East Lothian Bank, to which the circumstance has been communicated. The deceased, though he had resided here for the last seven months, was known to no one, nor has any thing trans pired whereby to learn who or nth-, he was; all that was found about his person was 3 key.: anal his lodgings were as destitute of property as his pockets. Should any thing farther transpire on the subject, you shall bear again from me." GREENLAND FISHERT.—A letter bas been received in Aberdeen from Captain Small,of the Ilenrietta,of that port, dated the 6th instant, which tees brought home by the ship Greenlander, of Dieppe. To that date the fishing had been very unsuccessful. The Henrietta had one fish, anal two hundred seals, and Captain Small reports the following as to the other Aberdeen vessels :—llercules, three small fish; Dee, three ; Jane, five; St. Andrew, two; and the Neptune, clean. He also reports the Manchester of Hall, with nine fish, about fifty tons. Captain Small states, that several vessels had got a number of small fish, but that none of them exceeded lOU tuns of oil. The season had been very unfatourable. In the month of May plenty of fish were seen, hut owing to the state of the ice, the ships could not get near them. In the month of June, the wea ther was very boisterous, and the Henrietta had seen no fish since the 6th of that month. Captain Small dates his let ter from lat. 71. when he was endeavouring to get to the land, but they had little prospect of success, owing to the thickness of the weather, and the closeness of the dives. The coach proprietors of Portsmouth, having felt ag grieved by a Van which daily carried Passengers to Lon don, at a cheap rate, gave the owner a douceur to diszon tingle it ; since which the coach fares have been raised (two shillings) to the old standard.—A new Van has in cons.- quence, been Induced to start at the old prices ; to meet which, the coach proprietors intend to run one Also, at earl more sedaced fares; so the public, by these various tour petitions, way be assured of a cheap conveyance.—(Ports mouth Telegraph.) In the early part of J one there was so heavy a fall of snot; near to Argnati, in the Papal dominions. that it reached the surprising height of 32 feet. Forty-eight persons were buried in it. Prompt efforts were made to extricate them but from twelve the vital spark ban down for ever.—(Berne Paper.)

Ilia father dying, when young, and his mother marrying a wont' husband, his education was neglected, and he was left to himself. At an early patina he connected hi:fibril with bad company, which led him into numerous vice', the remembrance of which embittered the termination of his days, lie deplored his fatal neglect of the public worship of lido, and his. criminal indifference to every thing belong ing to religion. With a view to support himself and a dis solute woman, with whom hr had cohabited during the last eighteen mouths, he practised his quackery, by which he imposed upon the credulity of the ignorant; end to that un hallowed praeice hejostly ascribed his ruin. ft appears by au examination which took place at Guildhall on Saturday. that a set of fellows are about town. whose prac ' tics It is, if they find hackney-coaches deserted by the drivers, to take possession. and after using theta the whOle of the day, end exacting exorbitant fares, for which the real owners are frequently summoned, turn them adrift in the street at night, not infrequently with the coach gutted to the bare paunels. Os tiaturday afternoon last, John Jennings, son of Mr. Jennings, farmer of tiltelford, was found drowned in the river. It is supposed he over-reached himself in attempting to cut some rustles. Every exertion was made to restore animation, but without effect. The youth, though only eight years old, is said to have weighed nine stone. A short time since his pa rents were offered a considerable suns of money for the purpose of exhibiting him u a prodigy of nature, but which they re fined.

At the Moment our paper is witting to press, the city of Norwich in the .PCCHP of a triumphal procession, composes. principally of the Jotirneytnen Weavers, whirls, whether the cause, the good order, or the vast numbers which compose its ranks be considered, most excite int• nse inter est both in the inhabitants of this place and in thu.e of all the manufacturing districts. The comforts the honest artisan can obtain even by the most rigid economy and the severest industry are but few anti mosierate;—his indepen dence, his best feelings, and his moral character, are all in volved in the single circuses - ance 01 Isis !wing able to lob ta', in wares, the fair earnings of Isis labaur. The ocher residents of Norwich are scarcely less nearly affected by tae continuance of this ability so provide himself in the operative manufacturer —for upon it depends the amount of the pot 's rates. which pays all deficiencies. Impressed by these considerations, the Journeymen bare determined to keep alive the spirit that is now awakened, and by a striking movement to urge upon tile citizens and the kingdom at large, those strong facts which hale obtained for the weavers of tspitaltields the victory in i'arliument over those political economists, vr .o taking men, abstract tneory for their guide, have contended for the ahnliti•ssi of tie la which bind the master and the servant alike to b ; the ne- Ciiioll of the Magistrates, in respect to an agreed l i st prim• for the wages of manufactured articles. 'rule writ vers here perceived the analogy between their case and that of Spitatfields,and whit p.vmptitude and a spirit which .to honour to their caparity, they deterusi redo, once to git ea proofof their sympathy with the Metropolitan operatives and an impulse to their own cane, should occasion a rise to make t their own. [Here follows a ropy of the hand-bill, which they put into circulation, and which was inserted in the STaTzs]las of Saturday.] The spark kindled, and thousands a•eamb ed at the ap pointed place of rendezvous. The whole of the minting, indeed, has been devoted to the celehr soon. At six o'clock the street of Sr. Martin's at Oak, the (puler where the principal Club-houses are situated. was aroused by a salute of twenty-one cannon fired before the front of the Dolphin public-house. These were answered by ;Enos from the Ara bian Horse ; the Buck ; the Dolphin, Sr. Mary's ; the Brit ish Li 4444 ,St. Peter's ; the Plotigh; St. Martin's ; the Fox and Hcfrinds; the ticorge ; the I,ltieen of Hungary, St. Marga ret's ; the Bur k, St. Martin's at Palace ; the White Fri as. Sr. James's ; the Shuttle, Ileighasu ; tne Jolly Maltsters ; and the Sun, New Caton. At ten o's lock a numerous depuPation from the several Clubs waited on the Hoit..r suit Proprietors of the Nor wich Mercury, to express the thanks of the Jourheymen Weavers of Nom ids and the County, for the support that Journal has given to their cause. Mr. Moore addressed' she Editor on behalf of the body. in plain, but sensible and feeling terms, and received in return the yr.t.ful thanks of Messrs. Burka and Kinnebrook and of Mr. Bacon, for suds a testimony of their approbation. Soon after eleven the procession was mar4salletl in Cha pel-field, and marched off in the following order to the' -Town Close, the residence of Arthur Belur, Esq. the pre sent Sheriff of Norwich, one of the inatmfartnerrs who ra•ries on probably the most extensive manufactory of silk and worstest•l articles in the city, and a man beloved by the weavers for the hold and liberal stand lie last year wade against a proposed reducion of the wages. ORDER or PROCESSION.—FIags and a hand of music in front ; the three deputies of the old Committee of W • • , Samuel Moore (known by the title of The Wearers' Cham pion), John Cux and Richard Brown and the Cuturniree, I in open carriages—Ber Street Club—Prince of Wales ditto —Plough ditto—New Calton ditto—Crooked Billet ditto— Mayo ditto—Buck ditto.

God Save be King; lung may be reign (with a Crown at the top.)— Ouse country is dear, but our Liberty is dearer—New Cat ton Heroes—Wymondham Weavers—lndependent Sons of Freedom." The procession was accompaniei by an immense con course ; arrived at the Town Close, where they gave nine linens to Mr. Belue, and concluded by very long continued plaudits. From the Townelose they proceeded to M r.W.Beloes,Or. ford Hill, where they cheered that gentleman. From Or ford Hill the procession set on, and went to the ware house of John Harvey, Esq. in St. Clement's, where that gentleman' was. He was greeted with the loudest accla mations, which be returned by tne most respectful saluta tions. The weavers are now (two o'clock) partilinz the different streets. It is, we understand, their intention to pay r speedo! notices to the following houses:— J.. W. Robberds, John and Wm. Herring, I'. 0. Spring field: Smith and Co. Thos.

(FROM THE EDINBURGH STAR We regret to state, that a scene of the most seminal die order and riot occurred on the Musselhorgh Race tiro yesterday. A larger cosscuurse than usual of the corking clssses had assesolded, in coesespersce, it was supi.oasel. of its bring fast day in the West Church parish of thi• city ; and a large p o rtion of these consisted of Irish I thoneers and journeymen bakers, many of the former armed with bbt.l - as though they had gone for the purpose of slisdith. ing the peace. Th. re were seven or eight Lo .less on the ground for the sale of refres'.ment, and these ha I b-en li berally resorted to on she early part of the slay. The ir.o. signs of riot were the breaksng up the stares which sup ported the booths ; but wheth r this act originates' in lbe desire of plunder. or from provocation offered by the il instes, e e are not in'orm..d.
