TIIE THEATRE . COUNT-GARDEN.--The most delightful, per haps, of all SIIAKIIPEARE'S Comedies, As You Like It, which must be liked by every person of taste, was represented last night at this Theatre, and altogether performed with so much ability as to give full effect to the whole. Gallantry must induce us first to notice the Rosalind of Miss JoNes, who performed the character last season, in which she made a successful impres sion, and which she fully supported on this occa sion. She evidently understands the character, and in the short pathetic scenes was sufficiently affecting, and so sprightly through the whole, that we may excuse her want of musical powers to render adequate justice to the celebrated Cuckoo song, which she gave, howeter, with such spirit as to be encored.—Nliss FooTa far exceeded the ordinary rate of Sylvia:, and was a beautiful re presentation of the part. Mrs. Gians's aludreN, as in all her acting, was natural and diverting. The Jaques - of YOUNG was usark:d by philoso• phic gravity, with occasional touches of humour, which gave the part due force. There were, how ever, some slight deviations from the text but not worth noticing. Orlando was always very inte resting in the hands of Mr. C. Icsrent,s, and it was equally so last night. It has been lately the practice of certain diurnal critics to advert to the time of life of Er.r.tsvosr and Youma, and now CHARLES li Rune has been the subject of the same remarks ; but if the critics cannot point out more youthful performers who are equally quali fied for the parts which they respectfully sustain, it will he proper for them to avoid so invidious a topic. We refer these critics to what Cnuacittta,, an admirable critic as well as poet, says on this subject, alluding to the critics of his days. " The nice punctilio-mongers of this age, " The grand minute reformers of the Stage, " Slaves to propriety of every kind, "Some standard measure for each part should find. 44 Which, when the best of actors shall exceed, " Let it devolve to one of smaller breed. " All actors too upon the back should bear " Certificate of birth,—time when—place where ; " For how can Critics rightly fix their worth, 44 Unless they know the minute of their birth ? " An audience too decoked, may find too late " That they have clapp'd an actor out of date !" We observed that the beautiful air from Illymen in the last scene was displaced, and a heavy tune, sung by Master LONSHURST, was substi tuted. The composition thus omitted was one of the most pleasing lyric effusions of Dr. Amine, one of the best of English Composors; and the Music:Director of this Theatre might as well change the tunes of " Under the green-wood tree," " Blow, blow, thou winter's wind," and the "'Cuckoo" song, as presume to substitute a new air for the one alluded to, ass they all were composed by the same admirable musician, as to make the change in question. We trust that the New Ma nagers have not ordered this dismission., but that the original air will bo restored to its former station. The Theatre, to the honour of public taste, both as to the Play and Performers, was well attended. BOX-OFFICE ESTABLISHMENT, COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn—As the public at large may not exactly comprehend the great advantages of the NEW An itANOTMINT, I beg leave, through the medium of :your Paper, to disclose some of " the secrets of the prison•house." On Monday I took a box for myself and fa mily, to see Mr. YOUNG, in Hamlet. I paid my shilling, as I formerly used to dp, to the Box- Office Keeper. On entering the Theatre (it being a cold night), I was proceeding up the staircase in my great coat, when I was stopped, and told that I must deposit my great coat, with a queer-looking dandy-whiskeed gentleman, who would give it a birth on one of a row of pegs close by. I said that I was obliged to him, but that I would rather keep it on till I got to the box, when I would give it to the box - keeper; but the answer was , that " Sir Benjamin Peg rented the great coats, and nobody else was allowed to take them." The pressure being now very great, I yielded to necessity, and doffed my upper garment, to the great an noyance of my rheumatics. We got to our box, and were ushered into it by a dingy personage, 'Who kept bowing and scraping after we were all seated, and hoped I would remember the place keeper. " Why, I paid my shilling to the Box office-keeper." " Yes, Sir, he rents all the shil lings, and we gets nothing but what Gemmen pleases to give us." So, Sir, this is the new arrangement, and these are Tilb: NNW lIINTSRO." The " comfort and convenience," us stated in the bills, accruing to the public by this grand alteration in the interior of the Theatre (to introduce which all the old servants have been discharged) is so apparent, that I have only to subscribe myself Your obedient Servant, ONE OF THE OLD, BUT NOT A NEW RENTER. *,* We hardly need observe that wa shall readily give insertion to any authentic contradic tion of the Correspondent's statement. The late C. Menu; was born in 1745, and was the son of a Clergyman of Bristol. He was the 18th child, his mother being 50 at his birth. Ne had a brother 29 years older than himself, Thomas Dibdin, on whose death he wrote the beautiful ballad of Poor Tom Bording. This gentleman was a Captain of an East Indianian, and father of the present Rev. I'. F. Dibdin.— (Museum.) We have heard of the fall of Lucifer, and the fall of Cromwell, and the fall of Wohey, hut one oldie plea sintest tumbles upon record was that of a Mr. Fell, who, when he removed front one part of the Metropolis to another, wrote over his door---‘` I Fellfrona lloltor -hill." Silt GEORGE ItOOKE.—When this bravelAd tniral was making his will, some friends who were present expressed their surprise that he had not more to leave. 44 Why," said the worthy veteran, "I do not leave much, but what I do leave was honestly acquired ; it never cost a sailor a tear, nor my country a farthing."

DEATH OF THE DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF ADVOCATES IN SCOTLAND. - - - It is at all times a painful task to announce the death of individuals, eminently distinguished as worthy members of society and for their literary acquirements, and professional celebrity. Oar Scottish readers, and correepon &nits in particular, will 'wet to learn that AfAT THEW Ross, Esq., Dean of the Faculty of Advocates at Edinburgh, died at Candle, in Scotland, early in the morning of the 111th inst. For a great number of years Idr. Ross tilled the distinguished situation in question, affording universal satisfaction to the Bar of Scotland, by the urbanity and mildness of his disposi tion, and the gentlemanly demeanour he observed towards all, as well sta to the suitors in the Courts, and the professional in dividuals who consulted him on their behalf, by the develope ment of the extensive legal knowledge he possessed as an Ad vocate, and the soundness of his opinions in relation to the principles of the different branches of the Law of Scotland, and their just and successful application. In privatelife, Mr. Ross was equally esteemed by a large circle of friends : his life was one regular and temperate; and to this circumstance, in a great degree, may we attribute his having enjoyed the long and honourable career which l as just terminated. The marriage of the Crown Prince of PRUSSIA with the Princess ELISA. of Bavaria is said to be fixed for the 15th of November. Zeitz, in Saxony, is the place where the bride is to be given up to the Prussian Commissioners, and some Officers of the Household are already gone to that place to make the necessary arrange ments. On the 26th of September, the '22d Anniver sary of the Accession of the Emperor of Russia to the Throne, was celebrated at St. Petersburgh in the most solemn manner, and with every de monstration of public satisfaction. 114 MAJCITY arrived at Tula on the 12th, where he stopped till the lsth, and then continued his journey directly to Orell. We regret to learn, that a distinguished officer, who has just returned to his country, after a long absence on a distant and perilous expedi tion, has experienced since his return home a shock more fatal to his happiness than could have been inflicted on him in the inhospitable regions from which he has just escaped. We hear that a beautiful, lovely, and accomplished ) oung lady, who had exchanged with the gallant officer in question a mutual pledge of unalterableattach meat previous to his embarking on his dangerous enterprise, and the promise of an immediate and honourable union on his return, has, during his absence, forgotten the pledge she bad given, and afforded reason to believe that the gallant officer is no longer the favoured object of her affec tions. On the arrival of this distinghished officer in London, he hastened, after the first discharge of his public duty, and drove with an unaltered attachment and fond anxiety to the lady's house, in the neighbourhood of Port land-place, to pay his first attentions to the ob ject of his highest esteem, and receive her con gratuletions on his saf e return ; but, to his sur prise and sorrow, he found that the house had been for some time shut up, and that the family had quitted London ; and upon further inquiry he learned that some change had occurred with re spect to the affections of the chief object of his solicitude, which made it advisable that he should endeavour to eradicate from his mind all recol lection of her plighted faith and influence over his heart. So severe has been this shock to the brave officer, who could smile at the horrors and dangers of a frigid zone, that he has continued ever since this discovery in s uch an unhappy state, as to seclode himself from the society of all his friends, who have in vain endeavoured to console him on the unhappy occasion, and entertain same fears of serious consequences to his health. — (noses.)

WOLCOT, OLIN( I;ETEB PINDAR, 'ES( Great King, the Newspapers declare, • Which puts the quite on the broad stare, (Though Newspapers from truth too often vary), That you, dread Sir, of needle note, Have work'd a pious petticoat, A hallow'd erring to the Virgin Mary. Why trick your Lady out so fine ? She never once went forth to dine, Nur play or opera ever deign'd to grace ; She never gave a single rout, Not e'en poor tea, and then turn Nor at the ball.feast shew'd her holy face. Then,heed the Bard :—Your state maintain, Nor thus expose yourself again A standing jest for every saucy railer ; Bid Superstition's flame expire— Fling all your needles in the tire— Give King-craft up—and turn an honest tailor. •.• This humourous Jeu d'RsprU of the facetious PETT:st PINDAR, who is without a rival in his original style of poetry, may be properly revived at the present moment, when the Pious FERDINAXD has shewn himself to be utterly destitute of every quality requisite to adorn the Royal character, or do credit to human nature. It is not in the old Bard's printed works. LINES, IVUITTRW UNDER TUN VFNUI or CANOVA.

The following anecdotes are extracted from the very amusing and instructive Essay on the History and Theory of Music, recently published by Mr. NATHAN, and which we took occasion to introduce to our Readers as being well descry• ing of their notice. The work abounds with anecdotes of a similar description, and the follow. ing may serve as favourable specimens of the amusing character which runs through its pages:— " A friend told tree of a lady who, in his presence, was anti. ously waiting the arrival. of her daughter's Italian singing. master. She had been Milling his amazing abilities in the warmest terms. He was a foreigner, and that alone was a powerful testimonial of his talent. When he made his en trance, to the infinite astonishment of the gentleman who re. lated this anecdote, he immediately recognised in this eminent singing-muter a once noted performer on the pancleas pipe:! !! " The ilthantees declare that they can converse by means of their flutes ; and an old resident at Acera has assured me, that he has heard their dialogues, and that every sentence was ex. plained to him." • The following extraordinary anecdote I have faithfully C.). pied from an old publication ; the author's name was erased : " A certain Spaniard one night late encountered an Indian woman in the streets of Cuzco, and would have brought her back to her lodgings, hut she cried, For God's sake, Sir, let me go, for that pipe which you hear in yonder tower calls ma with great passion, and I cannot refuse the summons ; for love constrains me to go that I may be his wife, and he my hus band.' " . _ " I once saw a Witty critique on an eminent singer, who from a mistaken desire to please the million, was often, against his better judgment, extravagantly profuse in his cadences. It ran to the best of my recollection thus:--The house wes crowded and excessively hot; finding myself overpowered by the heat, I took a walk round Covent-garden to cool myself; when I re turned into the theatre, to my utter astonishment, I found Mr. - just concluding a cadence on the note on which ha was pausing when I quitted the theatre to refresh myself." The late Mr. flannesow, among his professional contern. poraries, was fond of insinuating his own praise, by preaching up chastity of stile in singing. " tell you what, Mister Harrison," said Soloman; " it is not chastity what you say; it is stark-naked, and dat I do tinkvery indecent." When SAWTI Ul 1., the Latin poet t (born at Paris 1530), was at Port Royal, where his hymns' were being sung, a peasant by the side of him bellowed out in.such an outrageous manner, that the poet could not refrain from saying," Be silent thou brute, and let those engels sing.' The Abbot de Batowz, a Tan of great wit, had invented many things relating to musical :nstruments ; and, being in the service of the King, was once commanded by him to procure him harmonious sounds from the cries of hogs, imagining the thins was absolutely impossible. The Abbot was not in the least perplexed at such a command, butasked the King money to perform it,which was immediately delivered to him ; and he effected the most surprising and re markable thing that ever was heard. lie got together a large quantity of hogs, all of different ages, and put them into a tent or pavilion covered with velvet, before which tent there was a wooden table all painted, and he made en organkal instrument with a certain number of stops, so contrived that, when he hit upon those stops, it answered to some spikes, which, pr i c ki ng the hog* that stood behind in a due order, made them cry in such an harmonious manner, that the King and all his atten dants were highly delighted with it. Extract of a letter from 11Yromith , Oct. 18 Sir John Cameron is arrival here to take the command, but it is only likely he will have it for a time, as the offer of it has been made to Sir P. Maitland, Canada, from of Upper from whom no answer can be received for several weeks.,, Sir JOHN F. 1 4E 101E11;n, Colonel of the Cheshire Yeomanry, l a st week took a water wagtail for a mark,and passed a irnil through his body at the first sho t with a pistol ; distance, afterwards measured , ilteen yards. . STATE OF THE COUNTRY. On this subject we have nothing cheering to oiler; things are, if possible, more gloomy than ever in the south ; and even the spirit of outrage is making intrwdon into our own peaceable bor ders. A few nights ago, the Church of Yen nagh, in this county, was robbed of its furniture ; and although the theft was a petty one, in point of profit to the robbers, yet the disposition it evinces, is a strong proof of the demoralized state of society. We fear, and we have long been under the impression, that, though our im mediate neighbourhood is tranquil, the same spirit of malignity which has superseded every good feeling, is fast spreading through the king dom at large, and unless put down by some more than ordinary exertion and energy, is likely to increase, till it shall acquire a strength and force not easily resisted, by the means now ap plicable. Since writing the above we have been informed that some window curtains have been pawned in one of the offices of this town, sup posed to be those stolen from Eennagh Church. —lt would be well if there was an inquiry made into the circumstance, as this might lead to a dis covery of the thieves.—(Carlow Morning Post.) DISTILLERS. We have heard it mentioned, that, notwithstanding the re duction in price, the Scotch Distillers intend sending their spirits to this country for sale, and that it will he offered at a low rate in comparison to the price demanded by our domestic monopolizers. Now, although the manufacture of Whiskey be one of our staples, we cannot regret (if such be the fact), that a set of selfish individuals, who, by their co-operation, have too long plundered the public, shall meet so formidable an opposition at their own door. Let it not be said the Distil. lens have benefitted the country by the employment ef their capital; but rather let us ask, how was that capital first ac quired, and then let us see how it has been actually employed. —We shall not disgust our readers by a detail of all the means by which their capital has been acquired—they arc notorious. Suffice it to may, tndepcndent of such means as we allude to, it was extracted from the bowels of the country by the artful combination of their united policy, which on one hand held the agricultural interest in leading strings, and on the other, kept down the retailers with all the grinning exaction of want. They thus acquired a capital which they have uniformly wielded in regulating the price of corn to their own advantage, and in regulating the price of spirits to the disadvantage of the retailers. Let us not be mistaken; we are not jaundiced by their success; we do not envy . them the possession of their ostentatious luxury, or the exactions of their griping avarice. —We can concede to laudable speculation all the merit of suc cess ; we rejoice at the reward of upright industry, and shall always applaud that modest display of wealth which uniformly marks the pursuit of honest gain. But we feel it is high time that a source of competition should be opened in the manufac ture and sale of so important an article, whereby the public will assuredly be bencitted.—( Cork Mercury.) A Gentleman from Kinsale has just favoured us with the gratifying intelligence, that for the last thirty years there had not been so extensive a take of fish as has been made within the last thirteen or fourteen days, the quantity of hake, herrings, sprats, &c. &c., is immense. This has proved now a. benefit of real value, the fishermen having been enabled by the bounties granted them by the Fishery Board, to have their nets and boats in readiness to avail themselves fully of this supply. Something ought to be done with regard to the Salt Duties, to render this still more valuable.— (Cork Mercantile Chronicle, Oct. 17.) SUICIDE OF MRS. MARIA DELL. The Lord Mayor has received a letter (of which the following is a copy) respecting the death of the tihove.narned unfortunate lady.

She appeared to be about 70 years of age, and was destitute of money, havin,r, as she said, lost her pocket-book. Her manner was very odd, and inclined to mental derangement.

BOMBAY, Fs n. 22.—A boat from Surat, hound to BOtrny, in which Captain Johnson, of the artillery, and Lieutenant Robinson, of the 20th regiment had embarked, was boat teat side of Surat-bar, on the night of the 20th ultimo, and ever"- person on board perished, with the exception of one native (a Banclaree), who was picked up by another boat on the follow ing morning. The account which this man gives is, that he left Surat in a boat with two European officers (who are known to be the gentlemen above-mentioned); that in the even. ing of the same day, the Tindal in charge of the boat, thinking he should not be able to emu the bar in the night time anchor. ed the boat in the river, with a determination to remain there until daylight; before midnight, however, he was called up b, the gentlemen, who urged him to get the boat und er way and go to sea, stating that the wind was quite fair, the weather was clear, and that they were only losing time, by remaining there ; the Tindal remonstrated ; but as they persisted, he got au anchor up, and proceeded on his voyage. In crossing the bar, the boat (which was laden with tiles) struck twice, and began to leak so much that it requiteit ell the people on board to hale out the water; peared, however, that in this state they got out to sea, when in a short time the boat suddenly sunk. On recovering himself, the Banduree found that he and three others were clinging to a piece of the mast, which must have been detached fro .n the boat when it went down. His companions dropped off during the night, one after the other ; but he, from being ac. cuetomed to use great exettion with hit arms in climbing trees, was able to hang on till day -light,svhen he was picked up by a bolt and brought to Bombay. We understand that the body , of one of the gentlerrea has since been washed on shore, but which of ' the two is not known. This narrative affords a sad example of the impudence of interfering with the natives in the . marer. ment of their boats. SUICIDE BY AN UNDERTAKEIt.—An was taken yesterday evening, at the Crown and Anchor, Fleet Market, on the body of PeTria Snetnienn, aged 43 years, an underteker,wbo resided at No. 18, Braziers'-buildings, rivet Market. Elizabeth Thomas deposed, that on Tues..' day morning, about 20 minutes before 11, she went to make the beds in the room where the deceased' slept. She opened the door, end saw his' hand . hanging down by the bed side, and his back to- . aidew r d o s the the bhed bed. posts,. she a then nd went feet clown on h o t ai e l o e t n ii r eon e ridering something was wrong, and alarmed her miitress.---George Cerro' deposed that he is rn undertaker in Fleet-Market ; that about eleven o'clock on Tuesday he was told a mats hail hanged himself; in consequence of which he went to the deceased's room and found hint Suite' pearled to the tester of the bed by a cord, the other end of which was around his neck. lie Was' in a sitting posture, with his feet hanging a little over the he a l ; the whole of his body rested on the . rope.
