A most interesting and well-appointed melo deatne was last night produced here, under the title of . The I'rophecv, or the taunt Spectre. founded on. Lord ORFORD'S Cleat qf Otranto. The music, scenery, &c. are of the very best description ; every point of the romance, whether comic or terrific, is faithfully adhered to, ■nd appears still more effec tive on the stage than in the novel. Much of the serious dialogue is taken from JEntsoit's 7'rogic Romance; the lighter characters and music quite original. HUNTLEY and %Victims made their tirst appearance this season. and were warm ly greeted ; but the principal novelty of the evening was the debut at this house of Mrs. CHATTERLRY, from 'the English Opera. whose successful . exertions prove her a most effective addition to this very excellent company. Miss TAYLOR, in the Prisceu of Otranto, was highly applauded; and BENGOUGII, in the Friar, added much to the interest of the melo-drame. FITZ. MILLIASI and WYATT. and the rival chamber maid•. personated by Mrs. BROOKS Red MISS COPE LAND, relieved the weighty part of the piece with rich and appropriate comic acting, and the whole was given out for repetition with peals of long and continued assent. EARL OF LONSDALE'S BIRTH-DAY. Wednesday sennight being the anniversary of the lirtit of the Earl of Lirosdale, K.G. was observed at Vtlitrhaven with every mark of respect.—At eight o'clock in the morning a gun was fired from the fort, toil in it few minutes the colours were hoisted at t 1; the places where such demonstrations of public ;ratulation are usually exhibited. The example Fll speedily followed by the shipping, and in a 'ere short time flags and pendants were seen wav y in every quarter. The two principal dinner parties were at the sc ooted places—the Golden Lion (James Steel, '4 the chair), and the Black Lion (John Esq. in the chair.) —The parties amens little after three o'clock ; their numbers the same as on former occasions, and the ...Timmy and hilarity of the meetings never exceed. ed by any of the former returns of the day.—The tables were most plentifully covered. Amongst the elands was a profusion of venison, from Lowther ("mule ; and a present of char from Mr. Jopson, of Buttermere. After the cloth was drawn the usual occasional tniuts were drunk, followed by a number of others of a general nature—loyal and constitutional—in terspersed with sentiments, songs, and recitations, all tending to promote the conviviality of the meet ing. which was kept up with great spirit till a late hour. In the evening a message was sent from the Golden Lion to the Black Lion, proposing to the gentlemen there assembled as union of the two chimer parties, in bespeaking a dramatic perform ance for Monday the 9d. This was readily agreed The piece chosen for the evening's entertain ment was Sheridan's excellent comedy of The School for Scandal. Torrrs.-1. , 4 Our venerable and revered King."-2."

A gentleman returned thanks, and assured the Cl impany that Mr. W. would have been of the party Is' id his state of health permitted him to join in the ii stivities of the day.

Several circumstance have recently occurred which rendered the celebration of this suniverisiy last night unusually dell and spiritless. The pastry.oook shops in Bond.street..Piceadilly, and the Strand, presented the usual display of Twelfth Cakes, and the ornamental devices, how eser deficient some of them might be in taste, were competent to vie with any previous exhibition in striking variety sod exectif . There was the battle of Peterloo and the battle of Waterloo. There was Boa*piara leafed on a rock, and Mr. HUNT on the hustings . in Spa-fields ; and gas light in and out of doors, mightily assisted the admiring grouper, who feasted their eyes from the pavement on these delicious dainties. But with these brilliant scenes the vicinity of Paternos ter-row and Gruh.street formed a most dismal and dolorous contrast. There was no longer seen " The poet's eye in a fine frensy rolling," but lowering " dark and gloomy" upon a recent Act of Parliament respecting the press, in which the word * liberty was so mutilated, so defaced and disfigured, as to be scarcely legible. His 'midnight kap emitted *feeble light ; and siseslews, elands, and 'mental darkness, threatened a gradual ap proach to envelope the whole scene. BADDELCY'S cake was drown for in the Green• room of Drury.lane Theatre. Mrs. W. WEST drew the Queen. " A Star shone in the West." Mr. ELLDTON drew Sing. The down was dis puted by Mr. KERN, but he was pronounced a Pretender. We have not learned the fete of the other dramatis persona. All the Theatres drew hampers, Ind all the actors drew down thunders of applause. In the fashionable domestic circles— Lady CASTLEREAGH d►ew the Queen of Dia monds. Lord CASTLEREAGH drew hi. bow with two strings, and hit the bull's eye. Poor John Bull can no longer read nor write. He, however, is still at liberty to wake and weep. Mr. BECHER drew the Qween of Marts— " Born to win all beans and than all eyes. Tho' meek, ntagnaohnons—tho' witty, wise." General DEYERRUX drew an affecting and glow. kg picture of the exertions of the Patriots in South America, which drew forth the applause of the friends of liberty all over the world. Mr. Pit.ttnxtrrx drew a bandage over his eyes. that he might not be blinded by " the intensity of light" shed by the twopenny productions. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pet forth his infallible &actors. sod drew out all the remain• ing peace from the pocket. of his Majesty's sub ject,. The Galway Member drew forth the stores of his wit, uad convulsed his company with laughter. A Radical drew a bill upon Aidgate pump. and, mirabile dicta, it was duly honoured with a pitcher full of water, and if endorsed by the Churchwardens, would have actually drawn a loaf from the vestry room its Bread-street Ward. Mr. —, a good-natured husband in the city, drew in his horns. The point*, which were left sticking out of his pocket, were tipt with gold. The skaitiag drew a great crowd to the Serpen tine, in Hyde Park, and although the whole fashionable world were present, the seers of Doctor.' Commons could not discover a face pas. Cold climates are always most chaste. The drawing for Twelfth Cake in the various parts of the town, did not entirely exclude curds and music. The favourite game was Beggar my Neighlroar.—A Dutch gentleman, of the name of VANbITTART. is mentioned as a winner to a large amount. We hope he does not mean to send it abroad. The dances were of the old fashion. introduced by that eminent Professor Sir ROBERT We LPOLC. The figures are very simple. The tune of "Money be both Pockets." Figure, hands across, and change sides, was the favourite of the night. Several Gen tlemen, who came to town from various parts of the United Kingdom since the meeting of Par liament, joined merrily in the dance. Sir J. NEWBOLD, Chief Justice of Madras, has remitted from India 5001. towards erecting the Wel lington Pillar in Somereetshire, the foundation of which is to be laid early in the spring. A Gentleman, a - widower, of the town of Galway, has gone on a matrimonial excursion to Gretna Green, with a young Lady of considerable fortune, of the City of Dublin. Great improvements are making at Oxford over Magdalen Ridge, by taking down the old decayed structure of Magdalen Hill, which is immediately to be rebuilt on a more appropriate site, nearly ad joining the pleasure grounds of iMagdaleu College.

CURIOUS OCCURRENCE.--A few days ago_ was shot, near the entrance of Waterford harbour, a large sea-fowl, having through its neck an arrow, Bach as those described by Captain Coos to be used by the natives of the islands of the Pacific. Ocean. The shaft of the arrow, which is oboist eight inches long, is of a kind of wood resembling bone, and is rudely bearded with iron. The beard and shaft shot at least Intir inthes through the neck; lead the flesh round the shaft is not only lieoltd, but perfectly hard and collet's. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.

WARREN'S sHINIt4G BLACKING. The Court was occupied for several hours in hearing a case which, according to the state ment at one side, vitally arced the health of passengers in the most public street of the metro. polio; and, on the other, materially affected the most shining part of the dress of our Dandies, navel, military, and civil. It was, in fact, whether no less an article than Warren's Shining Blacking was, or was not. to be had in full prime in so con venient a vicinity to the fasilronVole world es in dm Strand. It was an indictment ftw a ituisance brought against the widow Warren, and her son Benjamin, as co-proprietors of Warren's Shining Blacking, by several of the neighbours in the Strand, and the nuisance was alleged to exist in the unwholesome and noxious effluvia which was inhaled by passen gers from the premises, as they passed along. This bad effect was spoken of by witnesses who resided in the neighbourhood of Mrs. Warren. Mr. Reece, a tailor, said, it injured his clothes, particularly the olive colours. Other neighbours deposed to the same effect ; and some persons, con versant in the principles of chemistry. spoke to the deleterious rtlicts produced to passengers by tha manufacture of the blacking. and which, according to their opinion, arose Goal the boiling of vitriolic acid and vinegar, and the burning of animal sub stances, such as buses, which produce the shi•i„g colour of the blacking. Evidence was offered to prove the parties in the firm, but the only part of it to spew Benjamin Warren to be • proprietor was, that he was seen looking over the books, and that he occasionally paid the rents of the premises. The eldest son, it was said, was not iii the way to be served with pro cess under this prosecution. Mr. Serjeant TADDY contended, that this evi dence as to the proprietorship was incomplete, and the Court admitted the .validity of the objection. The indictment was therefore quashed. Not the least profitable part of this investigation. so prematurely interrupted by a legal objection, devolved upon the Gentlemen of the Bar. For the prosecution there were Mr. BOLLAND, Mr. ALLEY, Mr. Angiesius, and Mr. IA Lsroso, For the Defendant. Mr. Serjeant•'l'ADDY, Mr. DENNAN. Mr. ARABIN. and Mr. ANDREWS. A ousober of idle canes of assault were tried iu the course of the day. We hear from good authority, that Lord COM. MINERS, ■t present Commander-in-Chief of the West India Islands, will shortly proceed to Ceylon, to take the command in that quarter, in the room of Lieutenant-General Sir ROBERT BZOWNBIOC. We are alto informed. that the gallant Lieutenants General Sir JOllll OSWALD is destined to be the successor of Sir Tmus. MAITLAND in the Govern raent and chief command of the lonian Islands. It will be remembered that it was this distinguished Officer who originally mooned these W•laudt from French domination, and whose subsequent conduct gave such entire satisfaction to the natives, and was the means of reconciling them to British Governs meat. Advices love been received from Trinidad to the .end of November, by which we learn that five English Gentlemen, who had been engaged in ob. tist ll ing supplies for the Insurgents on the Spanish Main, %bile proceeding to Angostura in II small vessel, were captured by a Royalist armed brig at the mouth of the Orinoco. It is also stated that a considerable quantity of specie; taken by General BOLIVAR at Salida Fe s the capital of New Gres noda; lied been transmitted saves the country to Angostura. • • . liaLitif.

Harding . * lodgments in the Bank bad been overdrawn by a check of 651. Ins. which had beets some lime Imbue presented and paid. The check was sent op by the clerks t• Mr. Barber, who tonerted it, and the imitation was so very complete, that be did not think it was a forgery. He looked at Mr. Hai it;ug's se- Count, and found no mosey , to his credit in the Paul.. The check was therefore seat to Mr. Harding, with • to. wage, to know the come of his mat having provided payment fur it. Mr. Harding, ore looking at the check, declared that he bed not drawn it, and slat it was of cruse a forcer,.

Mr. Harding Weis, looked at the cheek, declared it to be • forgery; it was never draws or signed by him. The Pri ewer at the bar had been in his emplormot as clerk. The Prisoner did not my any thing whatever in his de fence. He said that be bad friends, some of whom lived at Hampstead, who were not aware of his present situation. He was remanded, principally we believe, to give him an opportunity of seeing end conversing with his friends, be. fore Iris Goal committal for trial. A youug fellow, of the name of George Farther, was brought up on a charge of street robbery. He met two Ladies walking iu High•street, Aldente, on Werturesny morning, and in a most audacious manner, he snatched away the ridtesk of one of them. The Ladies were not able, through the effects of terror, to make any resistance, but an °Seer of Aldple Ward suc ceeded in taking the Prisoner iuto custody. There was nothing of value in the ridicule the Prisoner took away, hut is the ridicule of the other Lady there were lank notes to the amount of seven or eight potords. The Ladies eel being able to appear, the Prisoner was remanded. cow-eraser. DARING STREET ROBBERY.
