rmiAtßai . • ..111141111111 A new operetta, entitled The hendesooiss, was last night produced. It is, we. understand, written by • Mr. EATON. The following are the circum stances of which the plot is composed :—A whim 'icel old country gentleman, the father of Lucretia and uncle of Sophia, is anxious to provide proper busharids for those near relatives. With this intent lw sets out, at night, for London, contrary to the advice of his pervant, Simms, who is dreadfully a' ~ i ned lest they should be 'Attacked by robbers.— The two young ladies have, however, already sup. plied themselves with a pair of lovers, whom they wish to introduce to the house, the moment the old gentleman has departed— -but they are afraid to break the secret to each other.— They, therefore, mutually apply to /lose. a smart chambermaid, for her assistance, which she readily promises. By her contrivance Captain Boldisg, the lover of Lucretia, and Charles, the lover of Sophia, are safely conveyed, •unknown to each other, into the house, and placed by the young ladies in adjuioil,g closets, where they are desired to remain until supper is ready. Rose has also a sweetheart, in the person of Jolla, the servant of a neighbouring gentleman. who enters the house by a window that opens auto the room to which the hiding places of the to hector are attached. • The lovers, tiled with waiting for their mistresses, leave the closets, while Joh* seeks concealment under a table. Bolding begins to sing, for the purpose of attracting the attention of his 41- ciaers, and, to his utter astonishment, is answered by Churl's. Supposing him •to be * rival, he attacks him in the dark, but the young gentleman contrive* to escape, sod the prime., in the con fusion. get into wrong closets. Sophia, iuteniliiig to let nut Charles, is frightened when she beholds a dashing oilleer —and Lucretia is equally sato nished. when. opening the closet tit which sue bad placed the Camilla, she discovers Charles. The two young ladies are now liaptiv to find, that, as they are alike under tie .iitiuroce of the tender possinu, there is no fr, of their se cret being betrayed, and they proceed to supper. At this moment, the old gentleman dud Suitors re. turn, havii,g been frightened by the appearance of two travellers, tin a neighbouring heath, whom they mistake for highwaymen. Th sov,•rs again seek reiuge in the close.slilMi,. while Sisson and his owlet are iiiseoursiutc about the d* , _ger trey had escaped, they risileisiour to steal oni. They are uh.. reed by Mama. who, pear( tly convinced that they are robbers, falfs on his bier, rn example which his master promptly follows. While they are in this situation, Capsule Bolding, Charles, sod Jolla, escape by the window—but, deteatiiiited to avail throw +l.e. of the peon: of /into* arid Ins mas ter, th-) numediaitlymog with violence at the gate, awn, befog admitted, they declare that the house had really been entered by thieve*, whom they had pursued and drivel, away, and thus disappointed of their hopes of plunder. For this imaginary service, &Mime and Charles drinmiti the consent of the old grioleman to the union of his daughter and niece with mein—a proposition to which he immediately accedes. The success iS the piece depended 'vilely on the 'seri nl i.f• 'tie performers, and to them the author is under lIIU most obligations. They curried the • operett.. iliiiiugh its trial, and it was no easy task, Ter) triumphantly. Aliss KELLY, whose health, we are rejoiced to say, seems to he perfectly re established, supported the character of Sophie— being her first appearance since her lamented ill. nos.. Site was received, on her entrance, with fer vein and long-continued applause. The character is that of an arch, but apparently simple young 11,4—whose simplicity does not. however, pre vent her from selecting a handsinue lover. Miss KELLY played the part with her accustomed ta.r spirit. Mr. HARLEY, as SilBo4, a cow ardly servant, imitated the fear and folly of the character, with much ability. Mr. W. S. CHAT. ILRLEY's old man partook of the obsimacy and which are generally supposed to ihs. ttiliitali advanced years. Miss I. S rsvcisson's Rose was sufficiently animated. Mrs. W.

The Anniversary Meeting of the East Sussex Auxiliary Bible Society took place on Thursday last; the Rev. Dr. Hooker in the Chair. The Rev.

This Auxiliary Society, during the past year, has re mitted 900/. as a donation to the Parent Institution. The value of ule.lieenses may be judged of whin we state. that on Monday last, the High Constable informed the Magistrates, he had been offered by one pe►sou 5004 and by another 4001. for the suc cessful exertion Dr his interest in procuring licenses for two houses belonging to the individuals allude. to.

" R. P. HOLBECKB, _ . . . - - - - - . " Castle Hotel, Brighten, 13th Sept. 1818. " To the Magistrates of 8ra5h...5." The content* of the above at once spew the dia. ordered condition of the us.nd of the writer, and his' conduct at the Bench corresponded. He was hahited iu a loose plaid kind of inoraing gown, beneath which, on the right arm, was the detached sleeve of-a hlue coat; round' his middle was a broad piece of scarlet cloth, resembling a sash ; a white waistcoat, black stock, white leather p .ntaloons, and green slippers, completed the costume. As an ornamen bill appendage, a SiXpeher, with a hole through it, depended by a ribbon from his neck, and which, when asked to what order it appertained, lie replied, to that of loyalty merely—it contained the King's picture, end was quite as expressive of the attach ment he felt to his person and Government. in sil ver, air one of gold could be, end much less diffi cult to keep. He talked of the importance of his mission to this country, of the check which his proceedings had met with through the unjustifiable conduct of the innkeepers, and which must have the effect of involving two pokerful nations in an expensive end bloody war. He had left this coun try for Grenada in October last, where he had been high in power, and related some dreadful assassins tions there, in which fourteen British Officers had linen butchered. He had left this country with the Prince Regent's permission, and was then ready to raise a reginieut of cavalry iu his service. Bat he hail been impeded in all his important designs; he had left deeds at the Castle, which entitled him to ' a property of ten thousand pounds, which they had . refused to give up, and what was worse, to allow him credit to the paltry amount of seven shillings. He was anxious to obtain an interview with Lord Bathurst sod Lord Sidmouth, but this he was en able to effect, unless the Bench would kindly put him in the way of travelling to London without money. He had a Goo dying there. mud a friend at Dieppe; he wished to be with both, and had been otiosity stopped midway, and could see neither. The sitting Magistrates on this occasion were Messrs. Bates and Hopkins, the latter, during the incohereut remarks of the Complainant, withdrew, teroboon the advice end assistance of Mr. Serjeant Rut 11l l igton, bat before the latter had arrived. the Complainant had been permitted to depart. The Sesjeant, on learning the particulars of the case s arid a gentleinau of the town having declared upon oath, from circumstances that he had witnessed. that fatal consequence' might be the result of his continuing at large, issued a warrant to take him into custody. It appears that the unfortunate gentleman had been here in September or October last year, and was not considered then in a sane state of mind; since then he had been in the West Indies; and had actually bees, landed here from a boat which had taken him from a merchant vessel, but s few days ago, a Spanish doubloon. and a half doubloon, being all the specie he had about him. He had at first put up at the Old Ship, where the strangeness of Its conduct had induced the innkeeper, very proper. ly, to deprive him of a brace of pistols and a sword. The White Horse, the Royal Hotel, and the Castle, were then severally resorted to. and the innkeeper of the White Horse had been furiously threatened for a something which there had occurred to dis please him. Notwithstanding his heterogeneous attire, he has still the appearance of a gentleman, and often in the wildness of his expressions the marks of a liberal education and great experience are to be traced. He appears about thirty years old, and corporeally in very good health. His friends are mentioned as of the first respectability, and Otte, probably, are unacquainted with his return from the We Indies. He will be taken care of until they are made acquainted with his condition and arrival here, and then dis posed of as shall be deemed most proper.— He had left this place a day or two since in a post chaise, but having reached Cock&ld, he recollected that be had left a handkerchief, and a pair of black gaiters behind him, the former, he said, being • flag of truce, and he came back iu the same chaise, though, perhaps, the immediate cause of his re turning was the refusal of the driver to take a check upon Wigney and Co. for the hire of the chaise and horses. But a detail of his varieties would be end leas. One thing, however, appears certain, that lie is more an object for compassion than ceusures WATERING PLACES. BUXTON, SEPTUM/11 16.

In THE BRITISH PREIS of Wednesday last, we stated (from ler Leeds Mercura), that Mr. Ser.- LER!, a card-maker, at Wake, near Bradford, who left the Saddle 100, in that town, on Tuesday the Bth instant, about ten o'clock in the evening, had disappeared, and that though his horse had beets found in the river Aire, on the evening of the fol lowing day, its rider had been diligently sought for by his friends up to that time, but in vain. To en courage others to engage in the search, a reward of ten guineas was offered to any person that should lied him either dead or alive : and on Monday Nursing, about nine o'clock, his remains, which had Boated to the surface of the water, were disco vered in the river by JOHN HARRISON, • cloth• dresser, about 100 yards below the place where his horse had been previously found. We are happy to add, that too marks of violence appeared upon the person of the deceased, and that all the property which was in his possession when he left the imu, consisting of a bill of exchange, value 1001., with ' a few provincial notes, and half-a-crown. in silver, as well a• his gold watch, were fouud upon him. The verdict of the Coroner's Jury was, as may have been anticipated from this account, Accidental Death ; and though the fate of this worthy man is unques• tiooably most deplorable, yet it is divested of a large portion of its horror, by the consolatory re flection, that it was occasioned by • casualty, end Dot, as was apprehended, by the hands of a tour deres. Last Thursday night, soon after eight o'clock, the Defiance coach, on its way from Liverpool, was overturned at the Cardigan Arm., within about a mile from this place, owing to the coachnian, who is represented to have been in a state of it►toxtca tion, turning too suddenly towards the inn. At the time when the accident happened, there were ten outside and six inside passengers, and one elderly woman, of the name of THORP, au inhabitant of Liverpool, and the mother of eight children, had one of her legs broken in two places, and the thumb of her right hand dislocated. A Lady in the coach, whose name we have not heard, received a severe contusion on the head ; and a gentleman from London, of the name of Ram), had his arm so much bruised as to fiud it necessary to use a sling. The other passengers all providentially escaped with out any serious injury, except a foreigner, who was thrown into a state of extreme agitation, but suf fered no bodily injury. The coachman paid the penalty of his intemperance and want of caution on the spot ; the splinter boner of his leg having been broken by his fall from the box.—(Leeds Mercury.)

The Lord Lieutenant arrived at the Vice-Regal LridKe on Tuesday, from his southern tour. His Excellency travelled from Killarney at an easy pare, in consequence of an accident 11.1v ing occurred to his daughter, Lady Frances hot, .who previously to their leaving Killiirovy, while crossilig the room of the lintel, was tript by the carpet, and fell with such violence on the flour as to cause a contu,lois in her head, but we are happy to learn, that immediately on her arrival in Cork, ilicior Pitcairn, the Inspector- General of Hospitals, having been sent for to attend her Ladyship, lie is in hopes it will be attended with little consequence, but recommended that her Ladyship should he kept quiet, and advised her to return to Dublin as soon us possible, in consequence of which she on Thursday set out for Fermoy on her way to that city. Her Ladyship is in her I7th year. The Lord Lieutenant has given 501. to the poor of Killarney. The State Surgeon, we are happy to find, is fart recovering, and his medical at`endaut• h ave h o p es of his being able to be removed to town resi dence on Saturday. The Duchess of Leinster opened the ball at Luesn on Monday. This season has been marked by a greater num ber of visitors of distinction to the Lai& than have been observed fur many years. Lord Riveradale and a large party are at present there, and a suc cession of delightful sports was to have taken place this week ; a stag I ton the Lakes, on Wednes day, and another at the Gap of Duillue on Friday. The hand of the South Cnrk Militia, of which regiment Lord Riveradale is Colonel, had preceded him to the Lakin.

COMBINATION AND RIOT. We are sorrry to find that some distiirbances have taken place at Burnley, which have led to a breach of the peace. On Toesday the bellman of that town was employed by the weavers to proclaim • public meeting, aid (lie civil authority committed hiiii to prison. An iit.eenblage of persons followed, the prison was forced, and the bellinnii libtrated.— Furtfier irretsilarir:es ensued on IVednescey, and military aid was required. The Manchester and Salford Yeomanry marched hence in consequence on Thursday about noon, amid their presence has ma terially tended to restore tranquillity. A number of the turbulent had assembled round the Bull Inn on that day, but soon dispersed on the approach of the Yeomanry, without having committed any violence. The Yeomanry were afterwards employed in as sisting the civil power to escort prisoners, some of whom, after exatnination, were put into post-chaises, to places of proper security. Some other persons under deteotion were in the evening discharged ; and at seven o'clock on Thursday night tranquillity was coanpletely restored. All who had assembled bad retired. Yesterday afternoon, about four• o'clock, one of the privates arrived at the Police Office on his way to Colonel Oohed), at the bar racks, with dispatches from Captain flindley, mid with the satisfactory intelligence that all was quiet at Burnley. The Yeomanry had escorted several prisoners to Padilluen ; and it is expected that the corps may arrive in Manchester this day, as there was every probability that the necessity had ceased for any further continuance on this painful duty.— (Manchester Chronicle, Sept. 19.) ANOTHER ACCOUNT. We are concerned to state that Burnley has this week been a scene of considerable tumult and agi. tation, arising from the same spirit, on the part of the journeymen, to exact an advance of wages, which has already characterised the more immediate neighbourhood of this town. It appears that on Monday the bellmaii of that place, at the instance of the operative manufacturers in tl.at part of the country, undertook, in his official capacity, to con vene a general meeting of these individuals. which bring considered of a dangerous tendency, he was remonstrated with upon the subject, alien his unbecoming conduct on the occasion oil inoitrly led to his confinement in the town's prison. In the eveimig, the assembled mob succeeded in libel at ing the man, and at the same lime carried sway the prison door, which is . supposed to have been precipitate:A into the ca nal. The violent pro ceedings of there people afterwards rendered it necessary to apply for the services of the mili tary, intl• a worthy Magiorate of the town requested the aid of the cavalry sit our barracks, which could lost at the Di 1111 l ro , t hC granted with Out the cosicuireoce of the General of the District (General By ow). who was then absent ; in con sequence, the presence of the Manchester amid Salford yeomanry cavalry was solicited, and on Thuesday a troop, consisting of 36 gentlemen of thut corps, under the coinmatiit of Captain Hindley, set of to afford their co-operation in quelling the disturbances. Five Men and winneii, charged with riotous con duct. we hear, have beet' seized nod escorted to Pres ton House of Correction liy the yeomanry, who, we regret to learn, were rudely and migeorrously as sailed by the populace, in passing thiough Padi. ham : they still remain at Burnley, kindly eider wined in the private residences of the most respecta ble inhabitants of the town.—( Manchester Ex peen, Sept. 194 OLD BAILEY, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. STEALING ON THE EIvER. Jaws Rowley, aged 26, was ralicted for ateala log, on the 24th July, thi tee', piecra of et.ttol,, value 261. the property of J Clirietiah Reale, in u certain ve , •el called the Isabella, in tin London Dock.. ; and James Chan:hers, aged 24, 81. d Wm.

Chalk% l'errott aaid, that lw packed Rune cotton good. 0.. the 9 t July, which were put on board the Isabella. : They were put in the trunk now its Conrt. The patterns now in Court were elan p a ts terns of the cotton goods put in this trunk, and precisely resembh d the property detected at Chamheres. Two witnesses proved the delivery of the trunk on board the Isabella. . Samuel Childs served, that he belonged to ilie. West lit(18 Docks. lies brother was mate af the Isabel o, which !Hy in the London Docks. oi, the ittli July, witness went to see his !Anther, Mho w,is mute of the Isabella. He knew the Prisoner Rowley, who was a 'runnier uu board the -acne vessel ; and he saw him on the 24th July going on board the ship dressed in a smock working frock : offer Rowley got on hoard he went down into the forecastle, and soon after came up on deck, wear ing sailor's clothe., a differtot dress frern that in which he went down ; he appeared very built) , in his person, as if he had something concealed under Isis dress. Witness intimated this to his brother, who instantly stopped Rowley, and ordered into the cabin, where he was stripped, and two Octet, of cotton taken from under his clothes. Rowley then confessed his guilt, offered to give up all the money he had, and to spew where the other stolen property was if lie was himself forgiven. Witness's brother refused to forgive him, and " Rowley. you cheated me before of some to bacco." On searching the Prisoner's birth, four more pieces of cotton were found Concealed iliereio, and the Prisoner declined that unless forgiven les would give iro information, and all he could suffer was transportation, for which he cared nothing. The Prisoner Rowley was then given in charge to Murray, the police officer. Murray said, that the Prisoner Rowley was con• signed to his custody. On the way to the New Prison, where he carried him, he asked witness if he thought it would do him any good to tell where the remit ider of the stolen property was. ‘Vitiress replied, he thought cot. As they passed through Rosemary-lane, Rowley pointed oat the Prisoner Chambers a shop, and said, " "Ilscre is the shop where I sold the cation, and got a pound e a . each piece." Witness oftern.rds got a search war rant, went to Chambers's, and found cotton pre cisely resembling the stolen property, in a trinik, in Chambers's parlour. Chambers said at the time that he had not bought the goods, but that Burton had, who was then at the door. 1 . 1,e latter admitted he had, but had paid fur them a itli Chambers's money. Rowley said to witness, that he was not the person who stole the goods, they were stolen, according to his account, Icy r sailor, whose wages had not been paid up by the Captain, but that lie (Rowley) had assisted iiiremovisig the cotton from the ship, thinking it to be the pro perly of his merremate. John Haines, another officer, corroborated the last witness's testimony respecting Rowley's confession, and the discovery of the goods in Chem beres sale-shop. It was a men's clothes-shop, and not one where female dresses were sold. E. W. Simons was clerk at the Thames Police office, and produced minutes of the examination of die Prisoners. From these it appeared Cham bers confessed that a man came into his shop, and offered the cotton for sale, which lie bought at a pound a piece. Burton was his shopmen, and re commended the purchase, thinking the cotton honestly obtained by the man who sold it. Burton had no regular wages, but an average of the pro fit on goods sold. The cotton was always publicly exposed in their shop. This was all that tram.. pired at the police-office. Charles Perrott examined the cotton, and said, he believed it to be the same which was inn au board the Isabella. The value of each piece was about 2/. He could only speak as to hie belief of the goods, from the resemblance of the patterns, of course he was unable to speak with direct mid po sitive certainty. He had no doubt, however, but the cotton in Court was that which was packed iu his warehouse for the Captain of the Isabella. The case being here closed for the prosecution, ' the Prisoners were severally called upon for their defence. Rowley said that he was an American sailor, and without friends in this country; all lie knew of the cotton was, that a shipmate, named John flarririg. ton, requested he would bring it ashore for 11111) ; he had no idea that the property had been pus km ed in the ship. The other two Prisoners, who were indicted as receivers, knowing the property to be staler, de nied all knowledge that such was the fact, aid produced several witnesses, who gave them an ex cellent character for 1 k esty and industry. The COMMON SERJEANT summed up the eei dr lice to the Jury, who returned a verdict of Guilty against Rowley for stealing to thee value of 391. and the other two Prisoners /Vot Guilty.
