Risme Sitoomo.—At , the last Meeting of the Acrotormertarian Society at Wormwood Scrubs on Friday last, there us a truly fine display of skill; searce:y a single shot that missed went an inch from the target, 15 inches in diameter, and those that hit closely approximated to the bull's eye. The contest tin. the gold media ultimately lay between Captain Forman and Messrs. Dotchin, Belville, and Smith : the former gentleman won only by a single shot.— Captain Forman's gun•was made by Smith, of Lisle street, and the others by Riviere, of Oxford-street ; but all were fired with percussion locks, upon a detonating but novel principle, finished by Rivicre, and which are quite free from the former subject of complaint against those locks, namely, that in handling the small primer much inconrcnicrie w as experienced; by his improved mode, the gun may now be primed quicker than by any plan before covered. We learn from Toulon, that a French squadron has sailed from thence, said to be intended to act in concert with the British naval farce, in checking the predatory excursions of the Barbara• Powers. The , arrests which have taken plaice at the same time in different parts of Germany, and especially in Prussia, have caused much uneasiness It is re markable that the persona arrested and accused, par ticularly in Prussia, are the same patriots who, in 1B 12 and the succeeding years, • contended for the deliverance of Prussia and Germany; they are the same apostles of national independence who rose with the most zeal in a mass against the French, who declared the war to be a war of the people, and who, in a certain point of view, have deserved the name of the deliverers of Germany. The whole at'- fair cannot fail to draw the attention of all Europa; and it is impossible to mistake the importance which every writer gives to the affair, and which the diplomatic movements do not tend to diminish. The German papers say the harvest is nearly end ed in the vicinity of Frankfort : the uncommon weight of the corn is particularly spoken of. The vineyards still promise a most extraordinary vintage. Notwithstanding the stagnation of trade, this city is continually improving ; a new quay, on the hanks of the Maine, is carrying on with activity. The Elector of Hesse has given the privileges of a city to the town of Bockenhcim, not t;ir from Frank fort. It is said that many Jews' homilies intend to settle there. In the present situation of Germany the meeting of the Ministers of State of all the principal German Powers at Carlsbad is very re markable. Many are already there. CORONER'S Istnearr.—Oti Friday between 11 and 12, an inquest W4ll held before Cherles Jemmett, Esq., coroner of the district. at the Sawyers. in the Bishop's walk, Lambeth, on the body of John Hill, a yout), 17 years of age. son of Mr. flak carp-titer, of Strutton-gruurai, Westminster. alto wt.s drowned while bathing in the Thames, near the barge-houses in the Bishop's-walk.

The witness knew the dotwa.cl could not swim, and therefore immediately gave an alann ; he observed the b ody rise :hree times, when it sunk. and appeared no more ; the body, he stated, had been about half an Lour under water when found. _ _ • James Collins, fisherman, of Fore-street, Lambeth, sail, that hearing of the accident, he immediately launched his boat, and with his son went to nue spot, where, after using hitchers for about ten minuokt, they foetid the body in what is (-idled the Ade. at the bark of the bat e rediouse, dose to the spot which Gannlion had pointed out: the body was taken to the Sawyers, where the means recommended by the Humane Society on such omissions were practised for nearly three hOurs, but without success. It appeared from the evidence of the last witness and Mr. Searle, of Seangate, in ansper to some questions put by the Jury, that several lives kid been bust in the same place within these two years. The Jury expressed their .gong disapprobation of suffering such dangerous plates to remain near the nntgin of the river unfilled up, and returned a verdict—Accidentally drowned in one of those Aoki made 69 improper:y=4:4;Na: the bed of river weer kw warsrmark.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. This delightful little Theatre becomes deserra illy more and more the favorite resort of the fashionable ptwhc, and in militia the Pieprictor eurts every means w merit the patronage he receiver ; it is indeed a hot-bed of comes:nil novelty. On Mon • day last a new piece. called Walk fur a Wager, or u B.tiiiiS's Bet, was performed fur the first time. and received with unqaa hricil applaus.i.• There is an odd variety in the character...— Two of them are familiar to mane Cab frequent Theatres, and those two are a l.onden bailiff and his follower. The tricks and cant of those respectable members of society are brought nw the country, where the bailiff goes upon what he calls a double sirce, to pay his addresses to a kaly• and w cheat it hatchet by a wager, in which he introcluern his fifflower, Mr. Ilookey Walker, a , a first rate goer, and helps him to win by renanieg a mire-conc. 'fire wdole time of the performance of this Piece is occupied hi lbokeg Wa:ker, in walking, arid maay• ' soenersirresistil ly ludicrous take place. There is a Maghtraiea brother in the Piece, who his been Maiitri of the Ceremonies at path. and is= admirable commentary upon most of those who have tilled dot office. He is an Irishman too, and witlrall die dispo itain in the world to be polio*, mist be burgher, at for the characteristic errors of his speech, while the fidelity of the portrait is more accurately marked by the nubleness of his intentions. A curious old I.ar'y has her place- A curious young Lady too appears. The etti.rts of the performers. were great, particularly of Miss Kelly, Harky. Wilkinson, W. S. tbatterley, and l'eannao. Since its first representation it ha; Lsoen curtailed, and in its present form will, we have no doubt, draw, to the end of tau season. On Friday evening a new o;leratta was produced, entitled Thithis Tr;thual &our, or the 1..t:14.: among thrareluts. T he a hole action of the ()pendia is confined to-the Ladies, whoevo hibit a lesson of the most instructive nano's. There is amongst them a prude, who is eternally teasing an acquaintance, beeause a swan happens to interfere with her thougliti. aceusatior.s go to a most illiberal length, and one of the friends of the hater undirn.kes to needy the disizase, so otren,ive in sot: it life, iy assuming the dress and manners of a yo mg man. and asaadin4 the heart of this contemner of the 6 * fellows." The plan suc ceed.. The prod: falls deeply in love, ands moss ably idieu:ed at the conclusion of the ri tee. The Options is, we understand. a translation front the French. —The Dialogue is pleasant, and the incident. are numerous and striking Miss Kelly. who played the man, did it admirably ; Miss Carew layed the character that is atraelical to the real man, and Mrs. Chiatterley that which loves the tiii4inary man. All we.e performed extrernely well. The piece was: given out for a repetition 1.5; night amidst sl.outs of applause. • This piece is from the pen of Mr 11. B. Pinke, the Author of that most popular of all farcical ti idea *6 AritoteursandA.itors.'• It may be pradmicd ii we ch i ve," rat far as to say. that passirg. along Taristock Street our attention was attracted by the meat striking resemblance we ever saw of an actor—it was Wilkinson in the Cho , it, Boy, in Amateurs glut Argent. Our surptiae was unbounded when we observed by the signature tl.at the inimit able sketch WY not only drown, but ed.zratirr/ al.o by the I.liti tous author of the Farce in which Wilkaaam A Court-martial was held en Thersclr.y ca board his Majesty's ship Queen Charlotte, to try Mr. John Beal, Purser of his Majesty's ship Fal mouth, for appearing on shore in plain clothes, sE.d for treating his Captain with di‘espect. The Court agreed that hfr. Deal had appeared cn shore out of uniform, contrary to the rust orders, but that be had been permitted to do so by the prosecutor, Capt. H. Collier ; and that the charge of disrespectful be haviour to his Captain was in part proved, but in consideration of the circumstances, did adjudge Lim to he only severely reprimanded, as. - .O ,:a....i0nc0 to be more careful in his ccuduet.
