The most remarkable circumstance of the night was Mrs. D. t visoN's first appearance this seasoo sr Cleriada. Why this admirable actress should bare „ m i ne d M.euriced even for a season we are at a loss ter conjectere. Her comic powers have been always a tame of admiration with the lovers of the Drama, and d m rjaarss and vivacity of her stile should never be „ g awped iit the formation of a good company. Mrs. Exre's.feciarho was lively, interestiv, and impressive • ret e zmeedv, width abounds in situatmo and character, 4ffilliar msay repetitions. supported by tled talents whlik are row embarked in its support. torsur4:Aßocrl.—The tragedy of Douglas was acted sehaterday, and Mr. Mason repeated Ibis performance i o f Nereal. We have nothing material to add to our huger report. Mr. Knorr is very young, and Lis pow ers aro not yet sufficiently matured to impart to the c haracter all the importance which it has received from ,sate of his celebrated predecessors, but he gave some i pests with 'great felicity, and he was honoured tads : Nhoient berets of general approbation. The other diameters were sustained by those to whom they were girra on Thursday. YATES, in Glens/vow, acted with .ark spirit and propriety, that not even his fame as a teem (which generally puts a negative on all other rale pretensions), could make the audience view it as guy other than • highly efficientand meritorious effort.

To the former she leaves kooks sed prints to the value of one hundred pounds, and to the letter, fifty pounds in books and prints, and one hundred posurts in money. After discharging the numerous legacies, Lee debts and funeral expenses, Mrs. Garrick directs the residue of her estate, including a bond for six thousand ponds. dam from the lair and present Duke of Devonshire to the late Mr. Garrick, to he converted into cash, sod after wards invested In Austrian securities, for her Deice Eliza beth de Saar. will. of Peter de Saar of Vienna, for her sole an. end benefit during her life, and after her death to her grertd-children. Mrs. Garrick conceived, by her misconstruction of a chose in bee husband's will, that she was entitled to all the estates and property not specified,as " Next of Kin" and in that cue her disposable estate would. as we for merly stated, have berth very large ; but the Chancellor decided aesiest her, and in favour of Mr. Garrick's en. litliulls, se that Mrs Garrick had at her disposal only toarteen thousand pound., or thereabouts. The man ge's anti grounds at Hampton, together with the two islands or ivies on the river Thames opposite the gardens and all the houses and cottages in that quarter; the house on the Adelpiii terra ce, the furniture and pie- I tares both there and in the house at Hampton, will now he sold for Hie benefit of I larrick's relations. We again repeat our assertion, the house and out-houses and offices at Hampton noire especially, are in a ruinous condition, and Mrs. Garrick cons'antly declared she could not af ield to keep them in repair.

PaLsCa COUNT.—Mr. Thesiger last Friday obtained a role Nisi to show cause why Mr. Glossop should not be discharged from bin bail bond on the ground that he was clerk to the cheque of the Gentlemen Pensioners, and as such was not liable to arrest.—The rule was on Saturday made absolute, when the LearnedJudgesaid he would retract his jnrlgnient given in a similar case; for upon further considering it, he was of opinion that the Mears of the Crown :nil the King's servants were not aehject to the Palace Court.

The Prosecutor, It appeared, was pentium through Piccadilly, when the prisoner went behind hini hod with mach dexterity abstracted the handkerchief from his pocket. He wu observed by a lad named Andrew., who Immediately seised him, and gave him in charge to an officer. The handkerchief was found in his pos session, which was sworn to by the prosecutor. The Jury feud him Guilty, and he was immediately sentenced to be Traasported for Life. On hearing kis sentence, he made a profound obeisance to the Recorder, end exclaimed, " thank you Sir." • Sarah Head, was indicted for stealing a silver watch, value 30s, the property of Samuel Vincent. The prisoner and her husband it appeared, were lod gers in the prosecutor's house. The watch in question was banging In the bed-room adjoining the apart ments occupied by the prisoner, and during the ah• seoce of the prosecutor it was stolen, and subsequently found at s pawnbroker'', who proved it to have been pledged by the prisoner. The Jury found her guilty.but strongly recommended her tomercy. Mr. ADOI•PHUS, on the part of the Prosecution against Thomas Feinby, William Whitton, William Leicester, Sohn Curry, .04 Saone Raven ; who stood indicted for stealing 16 sovereigns, three watches, *e. In the dwelling home of James Curtis, a publican at Honnalow, applied to the Court for elm postponement of the trial until next Sessions, for the purpose of allowing time to bring forward 'unimportant evidence. After a few observations from Mr. Alley for the prisoners, the trial was ordered for Wednesday next. Ale.r. Robertson was placed et the bar, charged eapi tally with forging the Hall mark of the Goldsmith's Company. He applied to the Court to have his trial postponed to the dent Sessions. His request was granted. H. Day, a man of very respectable appearance, was placed at the bar on an indictment, charging him capital ly with selling certain pieces of silver plate, bearing the forged stamp of the Goldsmith's Company—he well knowing the same to be forged and couterfrit. Mr. WaLroan opened the pleadings, and the ATTORNEY GENERAL stated the case for the prosecution. The prisoner was a working silversmith, residing at Wilderness-row, Clerkenwell. In March, 1821, lie dealt with a silversmith in the Strand, named Jones, to whim) he sold various articles of plate, on which was impressed a forged stamp of the King's Heal. A bill of parcels was delivered at the dine, in which a certain sum was charged for duty paid to the Goldsmith's Company. lie also, in the moadis of December and February last, sold to another. Mr. Jones, residing at s different part of the town, certain articles of plate, also bearing the same forged and counterfeit mark. These wire the facts of the case, and after stating the law, sod explaining to the Jury the description of marks used by the Goldsmiths' Company, the ATTORNST•OINIMAIL proceeded to call his wit . A great number of witnesses were in attendance, and the trial was expected to occupy the attention of the Court the whole day. Tag CctaaY £l3 TIM 1111111•BITANTO OP Tilt CITY Of LONDON.-0o Saturday, a very numerous meeting of the parishioners of St. Gregory by St. Paul took place, Mr. Evans, the eharchwarden, in the Chair; 'for the purposwof petitiooidg the Court of Common Cons eopitt to parliaasoat for tkis repeal of tist a Vis of ijeory Vilt. respeefftleNition. • A petitios to tbe Court of Common Council Wi drawn up, praying that as soon as possible the Coart would make application to Parliament for provision on as Ject. The parishioners utensils strong hopes of too. eels in the ensuing Session, and we understand that every pariah la the city pf Condon will adopt the course they have taken. At the Bath City Sessions on the 14th inst. true bills were found against a Mr. James Godfrey, an elderly and reap .ctable inbabitast of this city, for an assault upon two infant children. It is stated that he enticed the children, who are daughters of a Mr. William Foster, of this city, into astable.—(bath Herald.) At the Quarter Sessions for the Eastero Division artist County of Sussex, George Wilson, for an assault on a private of the 3rd dragoons, with anlatent to commit an abominable and nameless crime was sentenced to two years' imprisonment to hard labour. A fellow of the name or Scott was on Monday last committed to Chichestir gaal,cbareed with en abomina ble attempt on a lad of fourteen years of age. The cir ruinstances were minutely detailed, and are uf a nature to forbid publication. Duet..—An affair of honour took place on the 4th instant, on the frontiers, near Ferney, in France, be tween Sir Francis Vincent. Bart., and T. St. Felix, Esq. the former attended by Sir James Wodderburn, and the latter by Capt. De Theevine ; when, after an exchange of two shots each, the seconds interfered, and the par ties left the ground on amicable WON. PEDESTRIAIIIS3I.—The North aide of St. Paul's Churcb-yard woe on Saturday morning almost impassa ble from the number of persons collected to witnessthe coming-in of Wright the pedestrian, who was expected to arrive at twelve o'clock, to finish his match of walk ing to York sod back in five days, for a wager of 409/. As the hour of twelve approached all was expectation; but the moment to decide the bet passed withont Wright's making his appearance, consequently he has failed in ac complishing his task. The latest account we find, of Wright, in the York papers, is the following, in one of Saturday last : —lle arrived in York, between the hours of two and three ' o'clock on Thursday morning, but being a little behind his time, he made no stay. having touched the Min ster, he returned, in great haste, and has since been on the road, in good health and spirits. Boxitto.—The match for a hundred sovereigns. between Moss, the Warminster Swan, and George • Flowers, the blacksmith, was fought on Haddington Common. linots. The battle had been stopped, or ra her it was known the beaks meant to Interpose on Thursday, and It was then filed to take place as private as could he on Saturday morning.— The hackers of the men were influenced by the honour of the thiog rather thao gala, and the combat took place at tine in the morning. The men had often proved their good ness, and Moss was the favourite at about 0 to 6. Tug Itsrum.—ln the first round Moss wee floored at going in by a heavy facer which set the claret flying. 2. A severe fighting round. Glee and take was the order of lighting in a rally of eight minutes, which spoiledthe fast ness of both, and drew the claret In shuadanee. Mess had rather the best of the round, but both were hit to a stand still. Flowers was dropped by's tiauazler In trout of 'he heed. 3. This round took the fight quite out of the men; it lasted seven minutes, end Muss received a heavy cross-but tock. The 4th, bth,•nd fish rounds were tsme. io compnrison with the loruier ones. It was chiefly throwing, in favour of Flowers; but both their heads had been so ekaareried, ihil their features were scarcely distingumhoble. The 7th round finished the battle in favour of Moss, in 4t minutes, by locking or unlocking his adversary's jaw. It I was a severe round, and both fought until exhausted. when the lucky blow for Moss told. Flowers was deaf to" lime," and Le was ewnied out of the ring. A turnip was last week got os the farm of 3lr. Warner. Bazier•gate, Loughborough, which tneasnred twenty six inches and ••half in circumference, and twenty sever• inches and half round the stalk and root parts, when each of them were pared off level. It was quite in a thriving state, and no doubt,bys and bye, would have been touch larger. NEWCASTLE COAL TRADE. Our paper hail scarcely gone to press last week before the hopes which had been enterteined of the speedy re sumption of their work by the keeling!), were destroyed, and we regret to say, that there is less prospect than ever of a speedy adjustment. They persist so perempto rily on some of their conditions, with which it is well known that the coal owners will not comply, that it is to be feared their obstinacy will be a source of much distress to themselves, and of in jury to the best interests of this district. Under the p lea of alleged intimida tion, such of their body as professed themselves willing to go to work, have, since Thursday se'nnigbt, ceased to do so. Steps were taken on Thursday last by the pro ,viding of an adequate civil and military force, to relieve them from this Intimidation ; and on that morning the Magistrates proceeded up the river, to protect them from molestation during their passage from the staiths to Welds, but in the course of the preceding night the Wane», those who professed themselves willing to go to work, as well as the refractory, left their homes and dispersed over the country. Their professions are thus shewn to be delusive.—Whilst this was taking place up the water, accounts were received from Shields that the sailors belonging to the larger ships in that harbour, had assembled and taken the men out of the smaller vessels (which alone can take in their loading at the spouts), and bad declared that if the larger vessels could not get &cargo of coals, the smaller le sbonid not be placed in a better . situation. As soon as this was known, the Magistrates, attended with s suMcient force, proceeded to Shields, where they found near 400 men aseeeiblei es the seed at the Low-lights, aed who did not disperse until the Riot Act bad been read. Twenty one seamen have bees taken lato custody. In this state things remain at present„.—(Newcastle Chronicle, Oclo• 6cr 26.) FALMOUTH PAeItIVT*.L.WO are happy to find the Mr Lions made throughout the greater part of the Comely, respecting the epprebentled removal of the Packet Esta blishment from Falmouth, are likely to be attended with that success which an impartial investigation into the case could not fail to secure—Communications have bee* received from the Admiralty, stating, that the opinion of nautical men being decidedly in favour of Falmouth, as the station most advantageous for the packets which have to cross the Atlantic, it has been &residual to coctiooe the Establishment there.—(West Briton) Solevatecza.—Baictivox, OcT. 26.-1 n the gale of this day se'nnight three vessels were stranded on oar beach, viz. the Stockton, of Sunderland, coal-brig; the Friends' Goodwill, of I ortsmoutb ; and the Mary Ann, of Portsmouth. The crews and cargoes were saved. The hulls have been disposed of by public awe tion.—The coal-brig, Expedition, of Scarborough, had delivered half her cargo on our beach, when, to avoid danger, she hastily put to sea. From the injuries, how ever, her bottom had received, she sprung a leak, and was obliged to ran aground near Hottingdean. Her Muter (Cawthorne) we regret to add, was washed over board and drowned, but the rest of the crew were saved : the vessel went to pieces, and the hull was publicly sold. —A coal-brig, belonging to Messrs. Lashomr, was land ing her cargo jest before the gale came on; but, anti cipating danger, she put to sea just in time to escape the disastrous consequences which befel the above ves sels.—A Dutch galliot, heavily laden with brandies, bound to Bilboa, lay off this town during the storm, and strereded in making Newhaven harbour, late on SA" tariav night. A a.tary Casz.—On Sunday last, John Hide, a fisher man, of East Bourne, discovered a quarter keg of spi rits on the beach, opposite the sea-houses at that place, which he picked up, and was taking away, when he was overtaken by a Irian belonging to the Coast Blockade. — At this instant, Hide accidentally fell against the well, near the Hope and Anchor Inn, and burst the keg.— However, there was sufficient of its contents (about half a pint) left, to cause his apprehension. The neat day Hide was taken before J. H. Willard, Esq. and being convicted of having contraband spirits in his posses sion, was (in default of paying the fine) committed to the county gaol.—(Brighton Herald.) Another seizure has been effected by the violence of the Preventive Guard Officers, of Brighton and Hove. They, in conjunction with the Title-Surveyor, captured a smuggling boat, and cargo of 104 casks of spirits. and 2 bags of tobacco, which grounded near Hove, early on Thursday morning last. PILCHARD Fienzar,—Considerable shoals of pilchards were seen along different parts of the coast during the early part of the past week, and the sesners at St. Ives were so fortunate as to secure between 3,000 and 4,000 hogsheads.—(West Briton.) By a letter from Kirkwall, dated 14th lost. re learn, that in the course of last month, about 170 whales, mostly of the smaller kind, nine on shore on the island of North lionaldsay, in Orkney, which were secured by the inhabitants, and sold by publte neap for about 6001. This has been productive of great advantage to that part of the country, by rendering the oil plenty at a mo derate price. It affords as unfeigned pleasure to contrast the present state of the hosiery trade in Leiceeter, with what it was 18 months or tao years ego. About the middle ut In2U, framework-knitters by hundreds might be deny noticed traversing the streets in vain, in search of employment. Now. what with an increased demist' for goods, and a disinclination oo the part of the workmen to labour to the extent which they did when compelled to do so by low prices, and tbe light price of provisions, manufac turers can with great difficulty execute their orders in due time.—(beicetter Chron.) MARKETS AND FAIRS. CORN tecriastna, 12 O'CLOCIL.—The supply of last week, of all sorts of grain, was good. Trds morn nar, there was a tolerably large arrival or Wheat, from E. sex and Kent, but that of other sorts of corn is but mo derate. Prime samples of Wheat again soil freely, at. an improvement of Is. per qr. on the price* of last Att.m day. Barley is not plentiful, and fully support the terms of last week. There is a demand this morning for Keane, at last week's prices ; and for grey Peas, on as good terms as our last quotations.-13oiling Peas sell very heavily, and are from Is. to 24. per qr. cheaper. Oats have declined in value, since last Aland:ly, Is. per qr. but this morning, there is a fair trade, at the above re. 'doction. Flour remains unaltered ; and Rape supports our last quotation. SMITIIVIED SIARXET, OCT. 28.—Since Christmas we have not witnessed so full a market of all descriptions of tattle, as this day. The quantity of Oxen, in particular, was very large, and owing to their being a dull trade they were almost nnsaleable ; we were sorry to observe amongst them a great number of very Ivan and inferior sorts, which she ws that the distress of the country rums Farm. rs to sen I the n to market, in their present state. (I,md Cattle obtained last weeks prices; but those of ia. feriur qualities culld nut be sold at any price. The fair at Timagel, Cornwall. nn Monday last, was abundantly snpplied with cattle; the slow is said to have exceeded any thini t.rea th.rw int the last ?AI yews. The buyers were nnforuna•ely le.. nnmeruns than the sellers, so that, I' (pry witively. Ist:t few purchases were made, and these at very Ite.V pri es. The shew of horned cattle, including Welch, Devon, and country beasts, at kotherfield P 44, on Monday list, was the largest remetnhered for many years, but a want 'of money, or no want of stork, rendered the lousiness of the Fair unprecedentrdly dull. A very small part of the large supply, found pnrchasers. Hailshans market, on Wednesday, was e9nally dull, v►ry little stock having been sold, except to jobbers, for the London markets. _ . At Lewes cornonarket, on Tuesday last, the prices were—White wheat, 4 is. to 465.; ditto new, 425. to 465.; mixed ditto, 40s. to 42.. ; red tlitto, 3.24. to 4115.; ditto new, 3Ss. ; oats, ISs. to 215.; beans, 30s. to 31i. ; peas, 80.„—per varier. Chichester Corn market. —The averages of the Corn Inspector's returns of the I sit week are—:vilest!, 34..614; barley, 265. 101.1. ; nits 194. pease, 311 s. 10d. ; and !leant 301. per quarter —Dine statement of the Corn Inspector's return last week :tumid have been peas 31s. Id instead of oats. The several hints lately thrown out respecting the price of flour, seem to have done some grind,—the price of that essential article being now reduced to something like a proportion with the price of wheat. Very fine flour is now to be bought in the vicinity of Lewes at Bd. per gallon. The gradual depreciation in the value of farming stock, in the sheep line at least, has been strikingly evinced by a grimier, a few miles east of liftlehbOrollgh, who at the recent Leicester Michaelmas fair, sold his shear hogs at I/. a head; at Michaelmas 1821, he sold a' 265. a head ; at Michaelmas 1820, 365. a bead ; and at Michaelmas 1819, at 461. a head. Fate Or BALLTRAGGITT.—The MIMe of business done at this fair, which took place on Thursday last, in dicated no improvement on Agricultural sales. The supply of Stock was considerable, hut prices were most discouraging. Fine treaters sold at 11. 2s 9.1. cult.— lambs rated at from 81. to Os. a piece. The price of Pip may state,' at from I/. to It 2s. 9.1. the cwt. Springers were rather in spirited demand. Two-year old Bullocks and Heifers of the same age, for the Stall, fetched from 30s. to IL 14e. 144. mad U. sa. 61 each. ~....,; INCES DI AIIISM. HALTSWORTR, SUFFOLK, OCT. I lamest to state that I have to inform you of the resumption of those menages of tiring farming stock, which last win. tar and spring so frequently disgraced this county in particular. Last night, about nine o'clock, an alarafing fire was discovered in the stack-yard of Mr. lieorge Ra binson, of Chediston, which is about two miles front this elice ; and, as con may easily imagine, it spread slur n in the country round, as the occupiers have had so lousy reaanns to dread the scandalous proceedings of idle and mischievous portions of the agricultural la bourers. That this fire, which threatened destruction to valuable premises, as well as to large farming stock, was the act of ineendiaties, there are Malty reasons to believe, some of which may b it useful in leading to the detection of the miserably misled offenders. Mr R. is not what is called a popular man, amongst the labour ers, chiefly, I believe, because he was one of the Agri cultural Associations,' a Committee of whom used to meet at Ileoderson's in Westminster—Associations, however, that heretofore were so highly applauded by the farming classes. Besides this circumstance, I may mention that the fire broke out in that part of the stack varii which was the least likely to be a ff ected by acci dent, from Mr. It.'s family or men. There had been all day a smart breeze from the South West ; but in the evening it providentially abated, and by night had set in; it was followed by what sailors would call a dead calm; otherwise nothing could have saved the other stacks from similar destruction, together with the whole of the fartn-liaililings, the dwelling-house, &c. the con flagration of the whole of which Wag evidently intend- • e.l. This is the second fire produced by incendiaries, that has happened in Chediston. That place is situated in the incorporated hundred of Itlyilling, where the Poor Rates have always been moderate, and where the labourers, for the most part, have been tolerably well employed. The principal part of the property in the parish belongs to too Ian:I-own er,. who rank amongst the first in the county as good landlords; one of them having made scarcely any ad vance in his tenants' rents during the late wa•, and this other having reduced his rents very Wirtilly since, its well as at the close of that war. Its parochial cone-ens, however, have been injared •by that system of misrule against which the laws have hitherto io ruin endeavour ed to protect the poor. The Thrashing Machines which, till very tarty were. in general, 1 might say uni versal use, and the encouragement thus given to them, was scarcely awe injurious to the agricultural lathier eee than is the practice that has been pursued for years, and is still pursued here, of appointing a shopkeeper to be Overseer. This is in the,very teeth of the :Loth tieoree 111. which was-evidently iateniled to prevent those who received parochial aid front receiving that assistance in peovieions instead of money. The principal iubahi taats have for the I ist ten or twelve years, nominated such an Overseer, and the Magistrates have sanctioned ! dee appointment : thetse firings, and this improper m nagement of that aid raised for the poor, has tali , n place within the Magisterial district ot S. Liourb, Esq. ore of our County Members, and who was the Cheirin in of the Commons' Agricultural Committee. — The appointment of a shopkeeper to he Overseer mate daily diminishes the assistance given to the pauper one fourth, I hear, in many instances; an I how Ker. re a deduction is that where the weekly silos awe for a man, wife, awl children, may he tire or six shillincs!
