THE THEATRES. •Datify-LANE.The splendid drama of The Cataract of the Ganges, or, the Rajah ter, was represented again last night. The Pro 7 cessions, iand-•the four footed Performers were. managed with improved effect, and the piece %vas warm applqnded by a numerous audience. GOYENT-GA RDEN.—The comedy of The In ' constant, formerly a great favourite with the . Public, and the second, in point of merit, of its lively author, FARQUHAR., was represented last `night, before a very numerous audience. Mr. C. KEMRaE has always been justly admired for his excellent performance of Young Mirabel. EiTis merit was undiminished last night, and his support Jot the character gave a stimulating influence to the whole of the Comedy. Mr. W. FA [MEN was •• I:ery effective in Old Mirabel, and JONES, in the ridiculous character of Duretete, excited much ''applattse, Mrs: PPIATTERLEY is well calculated t)y . the nature of her talents for the part of , flizarre and Miss FOOTE for that of Orianu.— ' rhey' both evidently satisfied the audience, , ..by the, applause which they received.

Journci On Saturday, a colossal statue of his MAJESTY, between six end seven feet high, was cast in real bronze at the foundry of Mr. Tx oiiasotes manufaCtory. We understand it is the first statue . that has been executed out of the capital of any empire ; and it is considered a most perfect and beautiful casting. The fact of two brothers attaining Peerages through the avenue of legal eitilnence,. is in itself remarkable t but there are other circumstances in the SCOTT family which are extremely peculiar : Lord STOWELL, who is about ten years older.than his brother, is a twin with a . sieter, who, we believe,. still survives. The LOAD CILANCELP", who is the issue of a second marriage, and cOnsequently only half-brother to LorriSr owE Li., is also twin with a sister, deceased.— During the time Lord Et,po was Chief-Justice of the Com mon P ir lea!, thetwo brothers eat upon the same Bench as Judges one Admiralty Sessions—an incident which it would alsr) be ditlicult to parallel. . - Ashby-de-la-Zouch Ivanhoe Baths were visited by Sir FRACIS DVADETT, Batt, a few days ago.

We are desired to state that the report which appeared in our Paper of yesterday, and in others of this day, respecting the intended Marriage of Miss Bnowlv, is totally void of foundation. Mrs. Yor.ING, formerly Miss Moos, who some years ago obtained considerable reputation as an actress in Drury-lane • Theatre, and after her Marriage retired from 'the stage, is now, by the untoward vicissitudes of life, obliged to resort to the profession which, in'rnore prosperous cir cumstances, she had relinquithed. If she is not fitted for the higher walks of the Drama, in tra gedy or comedy; she is Well qualified, from all we have heard, by her talents, figure, and manners, to be a more respectable representative of secon dary characters, in both departments, than most of the actresses now on the London Stage. .

ItEPORTERS.—When the tax on Newspapers, proposed by Mr. PITT, was under discussion, Mr. DRAKE declared he would oppose it from motives of gratitude; for the Reporters had been particularly kind to him, having made him de liver many well-shaken speeches, though he felt convinced he never could speak so well in his life. H U MANE ANSWER.—BOVDON, an eminent sur geon, being sent for by Cardinal Dunots, then P r i me Minister of France, to perform a serious operation, the Cardinal no sooner saw him enter than he exclaimed, " Mind that you do not treat me in the rough way you treat the miserable wretches at the hospital."—My Lord, replied 13ou " every one of those miserable wretches, 1s your Eminence is pleased to call them, is a 1o or: Prime Minister in my eyes.” NEWMARKET THIRD OCTOBER, OR HOUGHTON MEETING, 1823.

The following case occurred at the Northern Meeting Races (Inverness), and is now before the Jockey Club, on a reference from the Stewards and parties concerned. It le quoted here as a curious question. A large stake was held out " for ponies not exceeding 13 hands," and alt the ponies entered for it stood under the seandittd, according to the only mode of immurement known by the turf---tuunelY, by being placed (with plates, or without shoes) on a surface of five feet on by two and it half wide. Before starting, hovrevei, the usual mode of measurement was objected to by some of the parties, and one of the ponies being above the height (something less thaii half an inch) in hie ordinary standing position, the race was run under protest ; it was won by the pony objected to, and the case has in conse quence come before the Jockey Club. The point to be deter mined is, whether pony races fall to be regulated by the rules applicable to all other races, where no other rules arc laid down ? This question, is no doubt, somewhat new, and It is high time it should be eettled; but the wnnder-is, that it should ever have been put. The merest tyro on the tu r f is aware of the standard or mode o f measurement referred to, and it Appears to be past all doubt that it must apply to every case whatever (whether n of licensed racers, country bred hoe' , 'ponies, or hacks), unless a different rule is laid down, and expressly made known to the parties who are induced to come forward. It may be added, that the difference between the racing, measure rued the other mode is so very trifling, that it cannot in any case amount to more than half an inch in height; and it is 'known that this is always given, whatever way is adopted. But our friends in the North are great sticklers, and some of them perhaps (cc. cording to their own saying), "if they get an inch might take an ell."—(Edinburgh Obser'v'er.) NAVAL ORATORY. --The 1 b ce e rated WAWA, while euzaging a Spanish fleet, lost one of his ships, which blew up.

This harangue raised the spirits of his men, and in less than an hour he set his anta gonist on fire. OLD BAILEY—(Tars Day).

The mode of filling them with .air is singular ; for instead of hworking with his hands, a man walks buck vartis and, forwards along an inclined plane of about 15 feet in lerigth,• which is balanced in the middle on its axis ; under each end is a pair of bellows, of .about six feet by three and au half. These communicate with five other pair united by a bar ; and the latter are se contrived, that when they are in danger of being overstrained, a valve is.lifted up, and gives then. relief. Passing ten times along the inclined plane fills all these vessels. SAILIT IN CORN PREVENTED.—Mr. B. PREVOn Hgives the following method of preparing seed corn to prevent the smut :—lnto a cistern put one gallon of water, i ale measure, and dissolve in it one ounce of sulphate of copper, for every bushel of corn to be prepared. Having two tub's that will contain about eight boshels, throw into one of them about two bushels of comp nod then pour on the solution till it covers the corn an inch or two ; carefully remove any thing that buts on the surface. Put corn into other tub, treat it in the same manner. When the corn has reposed half an hour in the first tub, after being well stirred, put it to Olio, in a strainer, over the second tub,. Who it no longer drips, plt.'ce it in a heap, and it will soon be dry enough to sow. The effect of this solution is mote cer tain the. dryer the corn is before it is mixed.
