Mrs. SIbDONi has been wonderfully successful in Ireland, even allowing due credit to her great talents, since novelty is always an essential recom mendation. of the highest excellence. It is sup potied, that after the whole expences of her journey ate (li!•charged, she will at least, by the ekpedition, nett socol. A votiog Lady, whose name we understand is T3LOONOREEN, made her first public appearance on Tuesday night at the Haymarket Theatre. She performed the part of Lucy, in' the farce of . The Re. -4 zsie - r tv , with promising success.

WARE is said to possess uncommon talents in his professioth He gave a remarkable proof, at least, of his'musical memory last season, that de. serves to be noticed. MOUNTAIN, who had oc casion to go to Oxford during the run of the Am .: lomime last :season, unluckily took away the Over ture, which was composed by himself, and in which there were many passages calculated to display: the abilities of a Leader. \VARA was to occupy the . _ Place of MOUNTAIN, anti as the proper Music could not be found, the former, by the force Of rnentory, supplied all the requisite paisages, and execute ( ' the m with the utmost exactness and spirit, IC) the surprize and admiration of the orchestra. The circumstance of removing the music, as well as the journey . to Oxford, occasioned , a difference between the. Proprietors and Mr. MouNratra, which terminated in his relinquishment of his situ atinn at the Th eatre . A Mo rn i ng P aper conta i ns t h e following Articl e : it The following has been sent us for insertion ; we Cannot vouch for its authenticity :—A very extra ordinary circumstance happened in Essex last Thu rs ., (l ay, between four and five o'clock in the morning. Lille men g o i ng t o h arv e s t wor k i n t h e groun d s Mr. BAKER, at Laytonstone, were alarmed wi t h a strange phenomenon in the air, which in a few moments rapidly descended, and proved to be a talloon. The Aeronaut, in his fall, broke hi s leg - near the ancle, having been obliged to cut the galloo n , as he could not open the yak!. Alter the best inquiry of the rustics, he was only able to ! "form . them, in bad English, he had ascended from the Continent, and had been three days and two nights on his voyage through the air, with Learcely any food, and almost exhausted with fatigue: they humanely assisted him into a cart; which was Passing towards London, and he now remains at Stratford,, considerably recovered.. The cradle and • 'et- werk is at a Boarding-school near where he fell. The Balloon was taken posSession of by the Farmer, to prevent the curiou l from trampling ors his corn." A, few days ago, as some labourers, emplOyed - by_ THOMAS WALKER, Esq. of Cork, were digging fon the foundation.of a house at St. Dominick's, on the, scite of an old Monastery of that name; they discO p,v,ered an antique free -ston e coffin of a very singu., t -figure,-' as also a square.graVe-sto ne , with :an in-' scription round its edges, together wi t h :a great qua il- . tity of hum an bores, deposited in several long plas' 7 tered channels, which appeared to hav e run the en-. dtit'e length of time ancient church.

Abotit o'clock the Earl and Countess of DER BY came to:'ilieir house in this town, from. Knowsley, to dinnerj 'e are sorry to - say the distress for beds has obliged some to submit to the exorbitant prices de.' minded. A family has given fifty guineas for three beds in a very obscure and close part of the town ; but necessity has no law. A Stationer hear the market-place had the modesty to ask one hundred' guineas. for three beds and a drawing-room; but not succeeding in his demand, has 'fallen in his price to eighty guineas, but has not succeeded. ar that yet. A cottager hearing of the demands made by her superiors, - put the best appearance upon her premises, and gave out that she would lets them during 'the Jubilee, and a Genttleman wetirto look at the Cottage; on examining the beds, he found the best was filled vtith chaff; on the Gentleman asking the old woman her terms, : she asked twenty-five guineas. We hardly need add, the Gentleman did not accept of this hargqi,r. Four guineas are paid for' the standing of a carriage in an inn 'yard, and sums in proportion are paid for horses. A new Theatre has been built on the entrance .of the town leading from Liverpool, at an expence of about 30001. preparatory to the Guild. It is under the management of Mr. StANTON. It'was opened last Wednesday night with Lover's Vows, Frederick by Mr. H. St onorts, and Amelia kJ/Wel:helm by Mrs. H. SumoNs.

The late Mr. STONESTREET was a man of con siderable knowledge and• abilities. He was well acquainted with commercial and financial concerns, and possessed literary powers which qualified him to communicatchis infbrination and his refleetionS with - spirit, force, and humour. 'He animadverted on the plan of a projeded office of Insurance, with such forcible reasoning and keen raillery, as to throw considerable impediments in the way of a design, by which the Patrons conceived that they should be enabled . to reach the happiness of EDEN. BARTOLOZZI in a short time takes a final leave of this Country, in order to superintend an Institu tion for the encouragement of the Arts at Lisbon. This admirable Artist has ,exerted his unrivalled talents with considerable success in this Country ; but his hospitable and liberl spirit has left him, at a very advanced age, little more than his high pro fessional repute. • In tht diarriel Ba.ar, adjoining to Ben. gal, we are told there c:i.ists a very extraordinary custom, 'namely, that of p:edging"the wives of the inhabitants` to their creditors till rite debt is dis. charged' A Lady is often in pawn for two or three years, but she is not suffered to lie at dead interest. Upon•lhe contrary, at the time of her redemption, one half of her firixdy gces along with her to the Debtor, and the Creditor only retains the other half. •- .HO-XEN, the late Grand Vizier of China, was possessed of z 7 millions sterling of property. His Jewels were also confiscated. It is strange that the articles of his impeachment in jtistification, of the new EmpEßoit, contain nothing worthy of death.

On Sunday last a hon.:grown hare war pt up in .Spa fields, near St. John's Street, and„rhasecl by several persons who were walking; across the rod to Goswell-place, where it was shin in a gardnees ground. On. Sunday se'nnight in the evening, an alarming fire broke out in the ironworks of Messrs. Jarrat, Diiwson, and Hardy, at the Low Moor, near Brad.. ford, Yorkshire. It burnt with great fury, and soon reached the roof of their great easting.Lhouse, which , falling in, of course. destroyed the cranes,. &c. cob neded with it ; but °wing to the calmness of the evening, and the,anive exertions of the 'numerous workmen who were soon assembled, it was prevented from extending beyond the building where it - Was at first discovered.

Sophia Cookson ineotMed the Magner ate, that the Prisoner knocked at the Marquis of Worcester's house, in Grosvenor,:street, the preeeding.night; between nine and ten o'aock on her .going 'to the door, 'he said he had brought, a parcel for .the quis, from the Swan with 'Two Necks, Lad-laree ; that the carriage came to zs and the porterage is. She took the parcel and paid the two shillings ; but having read in the public Papers, that frauds had. been committed by persons leaving blank .parcels. at Gentlettien's houses, she determined ; bcfute. she paid the other Shilling, to open. the-parcel ; the fa mily being from home, and accordingly pulled out her scissors to cut the cord the parcel was tied wiih, but was prevented by the iirisoner,_ who insisted that the parcel should not be opened unless she would go with him to the coach:or:dee.. His beim_ viotir induced her to believe that he - meant to prac,• tise a fraud s and she had the courage to seize hold of his collar ) and to call her sister, the only ,person in the IrritiSe; whoiiisuintly came, a n d p rocure d t he assistance of a Mr. Rose, v,-ho kept a grocer's shop OppOsit4 and they: secured the Prisoner till the Pa role was fetched, who took him to the Watch- house.--On searching him, two other blank parcels were found, one direded,to Lord Bathurst, and the other to Counsellor Baldwin,. in the same -hand writing. With the one direa4 to the Marquis. Lord Gower's porter 'also appeared against the Prisoner. lle said he came to his Lord;hip's house in Arlington -street,. Piccadilly, on the 7th of August, with a parcel, which he said he had brought from the Stvan.'With Two Necks, Lad_ lane ; that the carriage .was is. 6d. and the porter. age 6d. Having no suspicion of the fraud, he paid him Is. 6.1. and gave him- is. .porterage, ob. .serving,-that his trouble in bringing 'it 'out' of the city deserved more than 6d. as a'recompense. When he was gone, his Lordship being in Scotland, he opened the - parcel, and. found it contained only a sheet of brown paper, and that he had beensheated. - A servant belonging to the MarquiS of Sligo told a similar story respecting a parcel brought to his. Lordship's house in Grafton -street, with this only difference, that he would not pay the demand till. he had opened it ; and while he was so doing, the Prisoner. made his escape. The Prisoner,. who was a 'well-dressed young man, confessed that he had been discharged only the preceding Saturday from that Office, •on a similar charge; and that he had nothing to offer in extenna: tiOn for himself.• He said he had lived only four months since as-footmaTi to . Lady Rumbold. The . Magistrate told him he had taken some pains to warn him of the fate he was likely to meet with on the , preceding examination, if he did not return to-hon - est and industrious ways ; and that he was sorry .. his _admonitions lead failed of success. He was then fully committed for trial at the cruaing Westminster Sessions. WOODMEN OF -ARDFN.'— Yesterday -sennight the : Woodmen of Arden again met to shoot for their Silver Arrow. The day was rather unfavourable to their accustomed display of skill, being very windy, which gave an advantage to the,strong bows. The contest lay principally .between the Earl of AYLfs. FORD, General FINCH,,W. PALAVER, C. REPPING TON, Esq._ and the Rev. JOHN DII-KR. Much good shooting was. displayed, considering the wea ther, and the prize was won by W. PALMER, Esq. On.

Lusus NATIJR/C.—,ln the village-of Prin, near Niort, *a cow has been delivered with great difficul ty, of a singular monster. On examination it was found to have two similar heads, each hpring two eyes, two ears, a nose, a mouth, a tongue, a neck, &c. It was also found to have on one side two mem branes, containing two pulmonary lobes and a heart which were separated from the abdomen .by the diaphragm; and on the other, one membrane with out lungs, .but with a heart like the other, having two ventricles, and two auricles. The two bodies were united by one umbilical cord, and had but one' abdomen. It had fan. bin.ds legs, articulated by four femoral heads into, two cavities, united par simphise,. forming two ilions, two ischions, two pubes, and one. as sacrum, to which were attached two tails. This monster was killed in the delivery, through the unskilfulness of those who were called in to assist the cow.
