THE DISCOVERY SHIPS. We have already announced the arrival at Deptford of the Fury and the Beau Discovery Ships. Yesterday we visited both vessels for the purpose of ascertaining by personal inspec tion the ravages which the absence of two years and a half, and the rigour of the Frigid Zone, had made among our intrepid and daring navi gators. The ship that we first visited was of course the Fury, Captain PARRY, and on reach ing the vessel we could perceive no trace of the many hard and severe knocks that must have been met with in traversing unknown seas, stir roweled by ice, and ultimately sealed hermeti caily in that cold substance. The exterior of the ship had not the least appearance of the rigours that had been sustained, nor did the interior at all display any effect of having been so long the abode of , human beings. All was clean and neat, and every thing in the greatest order. In the cabin were several 'trifling curiosities collected from the Esquimaux, and a small hand-organ, which, we understand, beguiled many a lonely hour, and enabled the " Hearts of Oak" to "trip it on the light fantastic toe," if not exactly with that grace which it is shewn at Almack's, probably with more content and satisfaction. There were also some small boxes hi which the trace of tailed remained that had been grown, as in the former voyage, by and under the direction of Captain PARRY. On visiting the Theta similar appear traces presented themselves. In Captain LYON'S CObill were some models of Esquimaux canoes, and some other articles obtained by barter from those inoffensive people. Over the stove is placed a small miniature of our gracious SOY/REIGN:— From one of the beams is suspended the figiire of a Scarnmouch, similar to what is seen in the toy-shops, and, on pulling the string, the shapes in which the figure is placed, afforded, we are told, much amusement to the Esqni mtrux. In both cabins are the head and shoul- 1 dens of the sea-lion, as separated from the body of the animal. In the jolly-boat on the deck of the Eccles were four fine Esquimaux clogs, which Were very tame. They do not bark, but have a - peculiar growl, different from other ani. mrds of that species; one had been pupped with out a tail, and in the litter from whence it case there were three with the same defect. Having thus very briefly described the interior of each ship, which cannot be too much praised for the cleanliness and carefulness they dis play, we should state the appearance of the officers and crew, which is, that , they bear not the smallest trace of having undergone either fatigue, or privations of any description. Joy gladdened the face of each individual, while contentment apparently pervaded each breast.— One of the crew observed, that he and all his messmates had been worse in health since they had reached England than all the time they were absent, owing, as he supposed, and, in our opinion, correctly, to the enjoyment of vege tables. The number of spectators to view the ships was immense ; some, like ourselves, from curiosity, and others to congratulate their rela tives end friends. All decent persons who presented themselves were instantly admitted on board, and every facility for gratifying curiosity was given that appeared consistent and proper. We cannot conclude this account without ex pressing our approbation of the comforts that have been provided for these hardy and daring navigators, which every way reflect the greatest credit on the country, and on those who have the management of the best bulwark it possesses— its Navy. CAPTAIN PAItItY'S DISCOVERIES.—Ws have received a number of interesting particulars respecting a tribe of Esquimaux Indians discovered by Captain Parry, who had never had any communication with Europeans —They are copper.coloured, of ordinary stature, anti have. long black hair with black eyes. They seem to have no idea of war ; they have no chiefs, nor are there any in• dividuals among them who appear to possess authority over the rest. They observe a form of marriage ; but i f any one is sufficiently expert in hunting or providing provi. sons to support two wives, there is no obstacle. They are in the habit of exchanging their wives for a time ; and this practice, so far from being considered disreputable, is esteemed a mark of great friendship, and it is not unfrequent to make permanent ex chomps. They possess a number of large dogs, which are co. vered with fine soft wool instead of hair ; of these Capt. Parry has brought home 16. They have no religion, nor any conception of a Deity ; but they believe in the existence of evil spirits, with which some among them, more cunning titan the rest, pretend to hold intercourse. Captain Parry anti his companions resided among them for several months, and acquired some k now l e dge of their language, which bears a strong resemblance to the Chinese. They form huts in the snow to live in, and burn oil for the purpose of obtaining light. Their dwellings arc, by t hi s process, rendered at once warm and damp, and the transition occasioned by their coming out into the cold air, is apt to produce inflammation in the lungs, which is frequently fatal. Their persons are never washed, and, on this account, during the summer, their smell is very offensive, and they are much an. noyed by vermin. They make their needles and implements for hunting of bone. They seemed to value things according to their utility ; and hence, articles of iron and ln num needles lT , of tour m anu facture, were bigblY PriZed bY them. • appeared to be about The y -had no connexion with any other tribe ; but they had heard of the American Indians, and held them in great terror.—( Tyne Meroiry.) THE THEATRES. DRURY.LANE.—The Beggar's Opera, which for the last few years has been reduced into two acts, was last night represented at this Theatre. We sincerely wish that it was wholly banished from the Stage, as it is calculated to corrupt the manners of the lower orders, and to give encou ragement to thieves, in spreading an air of gaiety and specious philosophy over their profession. We hardly need observe that its original purpose was to ridicule the Italian Opera, and inciden tally to attack Sir Rol:mut' WALPOLE and his brother-in-law, whose quarrel at the time was well known the public, and whose characters were understood to be designated under those of Peachum and Lockil. What were wit and satire at the time, however descriptive of human na ture, are now little better than hackneyed cone- mou-place. The best points have become, like Graliano's reasons, 44 two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff." It is well known that' Archbishop HennmG and Sir Joule Frer.nuso protested against the representation of this Opera, as tending only to the encouragement of vice. The latter, who was a ►ery shrewd and expe rienced Magistrate, once assured Mr. Iluan K&LI,T, the dramatic author, of this fact ; and when the latter expressed doubts on the subject, Sir Jortx desired him to attend after the next representation, and it was found that, on every subsequent performance, the calendar of crimes was very much increased during the following week. It would be much to the credit of the new Covent-Garden Managers if they wholly ex pelled this vulgarizing and licentious piece from their boards. If it were now to be presented to the Licenser as a novelty, we are sure that he would refuse his sanction to the representation, if he performed his duty with a proper regard to the morals of the lower orders. But it is time to return to the performance of last night. Mr. Hoax mnde his first appear ance this season in Machsalh.—llis merit as a singer is well known, and it is but justice to him to say that he is improved in acting, and has more ease in his deportment.—Miss POTET, a very pleasing actress and singer, was the Polly. This Lady is too much inclined to decorate the melodies generally assigned to her. As to " Cease your Funning," we never expect to hear the original simplicity of this beautiful air any more, it is now so much overwhelmed by orna mental luxuriance. Miss BLAKE, a pupil of NATHAN, who first came before the public at the Haymarket Theatre in Machealh, and deservedly acquired credit in the part, after Madame Verret, was so ludicrously converted into a captain of a band of desperadoes, was the Lucy of last night. She is a good singer, with a very powerful voice, and she displayed characteristic spirit in the part. DOWTON and GATTIE displayed so much humour in Peachum and Lockit that it is to be regretted that their talents were not em plowed on better materials. The very amus ing farce of Simpson find Co. followed, and was rendered, as usual, highly diverting. The only change in the performance was the appearance of Mr. BROWN in Bromley, which perhaps he ren dered more of the coxcomb than the gallant. COYINT-GARDEL—The play of The Point of Honour was last night repented, and Miss F. H. KELLY, was able to resume the part of Bertha. She acts with great feeling, and of course is pro portionably effective. Mr. C. K EMILE and Mr. COOPIR were powerful supports of the piece. The once popular and still amusing farce of The Pad lock followed, Miss PATON, on her entrance in the part of Leonora, met with an illiberal recep tion from a part of the audience, in consequence, of course, of the dispute between ker and the Haymarket Manager. Enough has been said on that subject, which indeed ought to have been confined to him and the Lady. The liberal feelings, however, of the audience in general, soon overcame this despicable hostility against a female, which she supported with a becoming mixture of diffidence and latent resolution, and soon completely subdued by the excellence of her musical exertions and the merit if her acting. We subjoin the answer of the Covent- Garden Proprietors to the letter from a correspondent in our paper of yesterday. It ap pears to be perfectly satisfactory as to the Great Goats, &c., stating that the matter is, as for merly, optional with the wearers. As to the other charge respecting the Box-keepers, we can can only say that we frequently visit this Theatre, but never saw an instance of the• im puted fact, nor do we suppose it possible that, under the new arrangements, any of them would venture upon such au eleemosynary obtrusion. Box-OFFICE ESTABLIMMENT, COVINIT-GA.R DEN.—We have authority to state, in conse quence of a ,letter which appeared in our Paper yesterday, that the arrangements at Covent- Garden Theatre, with regard to great coats, um brellas, &c. has been made solely with a view to the accommodation old security of the public; hut that it is still optional with them to avail them selves of it or not. The Place-keepers have most positive orders not to ask for any thing front the parties frequenting the boxes, and such as have been found to do so have been imme diately dismissed. If the author of the anony mous communication had cause of complaint, he might immediately have had it remedied, by ap plication to the Proprietors. Miss Guam, who performed the Chamber maids, &c. at Covent-Garden Theatre for the last three or four years, and first appeared at the Haymarket Theatre as Margaret/a, in the excel lent farce of No Song No Supper, is among the removals this season to Drury-Lane Theatre. — She is well calculated for the line of parts allotted to her. Mrs. GRANT, a lady residing in Scotland—an authoress, we believe, has forwarded to Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, through the agency of Mr. AcitrituaNN in the Strand, a large bale of books, intituled, " Popular Domestic Tales;" with a request that his Worship would cause them to be distributed AMOllg the poor prisoners in the dif ferent prisms, of the metropolis.

PLACE OF FASHIONABLE RESORT. WIEST COWES, Oct. 22.—0 n Sunday we were honoured with the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLAnzNcr, who came to spend a few days with the Earl and Countess of Errol at Egypt House. It being the Sabbath, the Royal Duke came in the most private manner possible, to avoid any in.. terruption of the religious duties of the day. His Royal Highness came from - Portsmouth in Sir James Whitshed's cutter, without having his standard or even the Admiral's flag flying, and a salute from our Castle alone announced his landing. As soon as it was known, our vessels and flag stairs were decorated with colours, and -every demonstration of joy expressed. The commanding officer at Albany Barracks, and all the Gentlemen, whose rank in society is eligible to the honour, waited on his Royal Highness, and were received with his accustomed urbanity.—On Monday his Royal High ness inspected the troops, of whose appearance he expressed great aprobation ; and the Duke most warmly applauded the plan and arrangements of our House of Industry, which he WAS pleased to term a model worthy of general imitation.— Yesterday his Royal Highness. the Earl and Countess of Erroll, and Miss Fitxelarence took a row up Newport river, in the boat of the Tide-surveyor, Mr. It. Stephens, who had the honour of steering her. On approaching Newport Quay, • the bells struck up, but the inhabitants were disap pointed in their expectation of his laniing. This morning his Itqyal Hi g hness embarked for Portsmouth, tinder a salute from the castle, and hearty cheers front a great concourse of people who had assembled to greet him. We understand the Royal Duke is gone to review the Royal Marine Division, as General of Marines. We were much gratified with the high enco. miums which his Royal Highness was induced to pass on the harbour, both as to security and beauty. Ile complimented the Royal Yacht Club very highly for their judicious selection of this port as their rendezvous; and we are happy to find it is his Royal Highness's intention to honour us with another and a longer visit, as early as April next, and we believe Lord Errol is about to purchase a yacht, and join the Royal Club, of which his Royal father-in-law is already a member. v. , O' l ' 'O l 14 ' i' ' ,,, , ' ' •,. • I :A ' 6ei•' ' • ~,z ' • 4: - ''.. ;:lik . s '11: : . .ii!: \ ' ".......: .r,,,L: --%, ..

Wninson, tOur. U.—This morning his MITT, with the ordinary persons of his suite, took an airing in his little phaeton in the Great Park.—Some of the Nobility, at present on a visit to the KING, followed in another phaeton. TUX GREEN PARIA.---Tile addition to the gar den ground of the Duke of Yon from the Green Park, is to be inclosed not by a high brick, wall, as was supposed from the first operations of the bricklayers, but by an elegant iron railing, a great part of which is already erected. The old wall is to be entirely pulled down, by which means the fine southern front of this mansion, hitherto completely shut up from public view, will present a very pleasing prospect ; and as a similar plan seems to be in p ro g ress on the eastern side, the whole will form no in considerable addi tion to the long projected and anxiously wished. for improvements in that favourite quarter of the Metropolis. A SwF:trims CLAUSE. —In a cause respecting a Will at the last York Assizes, evidence was given to prove the Testatrix (an apothecary's wife) a lunatic ; anamong other things it was deposed that she had swept a quantity of pots, phials, lotions, potions, plasters, Ate. into the street us rub. bish. " I doubt,' said the Learned Judge. " whether sweep. ing physic into the street be any proof of insanity." True, my Lord," replied the Counsel, " m sweeping the pots away certainly was. A MORAL DISTINCTION.—An Irish horse. dealer sold a line blood mare, warranting her sound wind and limb, and without fault. The purchaser, on her being sont ; home, found, upon examination, that the sight of one of her eyes was quite gone. Upon this he waited upon the dealer, desired t h a t she might be taken hack, and the purchase m oney returned -7-reminding the seller that be had declared the mare to be Without fault.—" r ,_ 0 be sure, my dear, I did," replied Paddy:-" blindness is not the poor creature'sfatat, but her misfortune." POETRY. TRANSLATION OF THE FIFTII ODE OF ANACREON. THER OSE. beauteous flow'r, enchanting Rose, To Bacchus and to Venus dear Thy treasured sweets to me disclose, In all thy brightest bloorn appear. Thy ruby wreaths shall bind my hair, While pleased I take my social glass, With faithful friends divide my care, Or joyous meet my lovely lass ; taste with thee celestial joy, And jocund join the sprighly dance; In love and mirth the hours employ, Then quick to pleasure's bowers advance ; The village maid, the stately dame, To thee fair Rose, their homage pay, Thy odours breathe through courts their fame, Or add new fragrance to the hay. Then to thy praise, sweet Rose; the muse Well pleased shall grateful tribute bring, Thy mild perfume in song diffuse, To greet thee lovely flow'r of Spring. VENATOR. SONG. 0 fill high the bowl ! Let us drink to the brave, And the toast be in silence " The Sons of the Wave !" " The Sons of the Wave" That the tempest sent low, Where no billows are raging And storms never blow. Deep, deep, they went down, But they uttered no cry, As they cast their last look On the storm-hurried sky. 0 where was the stay Of their headlong career, When the wave smootint its way O'er the mariner's bier ? Where found they a rest For the tomb of their bark, — In the oceisn's green bed Or its coral vales dark ? Who can say ? not the vessel Which sails where they lie, With her keel high above them As stars in the sky. But the Dolphin may know, And the tierce shark may tell, 'Where they watched the ship go, And they banqueted well.

SHOT EXTRAORDINARY !. A few days ago, a (1, entleman in the netghbourhood of Kelso, when out shooting with a double-barrelled gun, fired at a bird, at the distance of about 40 yards. The gun burst, and was scattered in fragments around him; the right hand lock Was found Hi yards, the left hand lock eight yards, and the two barrels, all in a shattered state, six yards from the spot ; 22 bits of the Run were picked up in different directions, Milo pendent of what was lost; and even that part of the stock held by the sportsman's right hand was blown to pieces. At first he thought he was seriously wounded in the face ; and immedi ately asked a friend who was with hi►n, if his face was covered with blood : but in a moment after, he was convinced he had escaped completely free from wound or injury of any kind.— His friend, though standing pretty near, was also unhurt. The bird was found dead, at about the distance above-mentioned front where the shot was tired !---( Caledonian Ittercnry. FATAL EFFECTS OP GrAMDLING.---A circum stance of deeply afflicting import is reported to have taken place at the West End within the last few days. A family of consequence, comprising the father, mother, two slaughters, and a son (who is presumptive heir to a large estate), recently arrived in town from a nor thern county, and took a house in one of tl►e! most fashionable streets. The son was gay, the laughters handsome and accomplished, and the the parents unfortunately delighted to en courage their children in the pursuit of such plea sures as the metropolis affords. Living in the first style, their house became very soon the resort of some of those young men of fashion, who, for went of more honourable employ, are either meditating some plan of seduction, or devising means to appropriate the property of thoughtle.s and inexper►enced young melt to their own uses. These acquaiut►tnees introduced him to some of the hopeful fraternities in the neighbourhood of St. James's. Rouge et noir and routet are not with out their attractions to a young man possessing ample means, and eager to make those means ser viceable in the attainment of fashionable notoriety. The ease with which he surrendered his property made him the prey of sharpers, and in a short time his father was compelled to discontinue the supplies °fetish. Unable to support the sneers of his companions, and perhaps too munh attached to play,he forged on the lathe r,and continued to draw large sums from his banker, w hich, as he had before been in the habit of doing, was not suspected, until a settlement being demanded by the parent, produced a full discovery of the fraud. Exas perated by the ingratitude and folly of his son, the father denied the several cheques, and proem'. ings were consequently taken by the banker. The young gentleman, however, by some means re ceiving intimation of the circumstance, has with drawn himself from the family, and embarked, it is presumed, for India, where he is likely to remain, unless matters can be compromised so us to admit of his return.—(New Times) RIOT AT ENNISKILLEN. The Enniskillen Paper of Thursday contains the following account of a riot which has occurred there:— " DESPERATE PARTY RIOT.—OR Friday last, as we bad anticipated, our fair presented a scene of the most turbulent and lawless description we ever before witnessed. At an early hour of the day the Earl of Enniskillen, Major Armstrong, Richard Dane, Esq. and several other hlagistrates and .per. sons of influence attended, and adopted such precautionary measures as they deemed requisite to prevent the threatened riot. From the little appearance of prepar a ti o n o b serva bl e in the early part of th e day, it was presumed that nothing of the kind was likely to take place, and some of the Gen tlemen left the fair under that conviction. Bowever, about two o'clock, several groups of- loose-looking fellows, armed with bludgeons, poured into the town, and in about an how after the set-to commenced. The sequel almost beggars 'de. scri',tion. Such a pi c t ure o f unrestra i ne d li cent i ousness can hardly be conceived. The shops ware immediately closed, and all business entirely suspended. The Earl of Enniskillen and others dashed through the crowds, disarming and disperainy them in every direction, but they again as quickly colleeti in seeming defiance of authority. The army were immedi ately called out, and made several prisoneni, while the .Earl of Enniskillen, at the head of the Fermanagh Staff, used every possible exertion to subdue the mob and clear the, town of . fluent, which was eventually accomplished. To his Lordship'S activity, and that of Major Armstrong, Richard Dane mid Garbett, Esqrs., and the prompt assistance date (With Regiment, may be attributed the suppression of this most savage and scandalous tumult, which, in all probability, would have otherwise terminated in murder. To those Gentlemen, and us the Officers and men of the kith Regiment, the greatest praise is due for their exertions on the occasion. ERCA NT[ LH SHIPPING.

Our supplies continuing to arrive rather more freely caused a visible effect on our market,, the price of every atticie in it being exceedingly dull, and scarce any sale was efrected, although some tine Wheat was offered on lower terms than oa last Monday, front which circumstance a reduction is expected in the price on our next market day, but at present we must quote our prim nominally as on Monday lust. SI‘IITIIFIELD MARKET, OCT. 24.

By a detailed account of the success of all the ship employed in the Greenland and Davis' Straits fisheries, it appears that the whole produce, up to this period, is about 16,597 tons, which fall short about 1,200 tons of the average of the .yearx 1820 and 1821, but Is 2,760 tons more.thara the average of the nine years, from 1814 to 18122, both inclusive. It is supposed that the produce of whalebone will be materially short of an average in proportion to the quantity of oil, because the fish this season have been smaller than ever recollect ed. The price:of bone varies between 1601. and. 1701.—(Threrness Journal.)

NARROW ESCAPE FROM AN ELEPHANT.-1110 friends of Captain Gambier, R.N., *ill peruse with interest the following account of a most miraculous esca p e f ront immediate d . estruction O n a recent elephant-shootin g party at Ceylon, Captain Gambler and Mr. flay, of the Royal Engineers, had separated from their compameni, a nal were following a large female elephant ; when pretty close to her, she suddenly and unexpectedly turned upon them ; escape appearing impossible, they both fired, but with little effect; the animal immediately charged, knocked Capt. Gam_ bier down, and pursued ,Mr. Ilay, who fell ; Capt. (lotaxisier having recovered, and observing the imminent danger of ).Ir.. Hay, gallantly ran with another gun to his assistance. Tit, elephant, en perceiving Captain Gambier's approach, turned round, seized hint with her trunk, and raises/ him rani the ground with as much ease as if he had been a straw ; she then knelt down, and laid him on his back, still retaining her hold; she now began gradually to lower herself, and he had already felt the pressure which appeared the forerunner ,of certain de a ruction, when, most unaccountably, the animal soddenly rat' nod retreated, leaving him without other injury than it severe bruise on ons knee, which he probably received when. site first knocked hint down in pursuing :11a-. flay. So providential a rescue from apparent certain death may perhaps 'be accounted far by the elephant having been enntltaed by the Aring,.or. by her elan» at becoming so far detached from the rest ora te h er d. tnarnt.ay ~arty, may 14, 11123.) Sr:ttious ACCIDENT ON THE Riven --Yes'er de y a scene of the wtmost confusion and dis.itster oc4 . urell below bridge, between Horseferry and Pigeon stairs. A fleet of colliers and other vessels, making for the pool, were, through. the strong influx of the tide, occasioned by a northerly wind, driven one against the tithe,. with a general crash, and much mischief occasioned. A Dutch brig was run foul of by a Newcastle collier, the boss sprit of which coining against the anchor of the brig, forced it up the fore-stay nearly to the foremast top, from whence the rote being obliged to be cut, it fell on the collier's deck, and nearly occasioned the loss of many lives. Another 'col lier lost all her masts and rigging, and Was thrown on her beam ends, and the crew saved from drowning with much difficulty. We are sorry to add;that a respectable young man belenging to Rotherhithe lost his life, being washed overboard, and was seen lifting his Itnuels in a supplicating attitude, without' : possibility of assistance being rendered hiM. Ile was after Wards taken up in a lifeless state, and the Vertebrr of his neck found to be divided ; the body was conveyed to the Sarre)? Canal Bridge house. Another seaman had his eye 'knocked out. The afflicting scene was chosen by soirtie thieves as a prop moment to exercise their calling, and commit depredations on the property of the sufferers. R `,~
