THE THEATRES. Davair-LANE.---The Comedy of Wild Oats, which may be considered as the most regular dramatic production of its whimsical Author, O'KEEFE, was represented last night. The Rover of &LISTON was exhibited with unimpaired vi vacity and humour. DOWTON'S Sir George Thumder is the best that has been seen since the days of QUICK, who was an actor that altogether has never been excelled in his proper range of parts. GATTIE is an actor of experience and judgment, as he fully manifested in John Dory. Mrs. W. WEST, a beautiful woman and a very interesting actress, gave a pleasing 'representation of Lady Amaranth. Mrs. 01IGEll has lately very much improved in ease and spirit : her Jane was effective, and she was well supported by the rustic humour of KNIGHT in Sim. The Comedy was much applauded, and was followed by Giovanni in London, and Madame VESTItIS en tered into the part of the gallant hero with as much gpirit as if she had just come from studying the Poem of Don Juan. The House was well attended. COVENTZARDEN.—The School of Reform, on account of the sudden popularity of Mr.ILA Y !VIM, was represented again . last night, and his Tyke operated as strongly on • the feelings of the au dience as at fi rst. In those passages which pecu liarly called for the exertion of his powers, such as,the discovery of his father, after he had robbed hitti, arid also on seeing the mark on the neck of Frederick . , which he had impressed on the latter in his infancy, ids agitation was:drawn from the source of strong feeling and a close observation of the working of the passions. 1t is no slight consolation to the public for the loss of poor- Emn tvie . that be is succeeded by an actor so well calculated to give importance to those cha racters in which he was so peculiarly successful. A good house. The extraordinary. Courier who brought, to Paris the news of. Ric Go's entry into Nine) rid, brought also several ,private letters. We have seen one of these, addressed Wan opulent banker at Paris by his Correspondent at Madrid. The following is a literal copy of it : "111 A null), Oc.r.4.—Riego arrived this morning between 5 anti o'clock, escorted by the peasantS who took him pritioner at Arguillos, and by a strong detachment of the Army of the Faith. The Commander of the escort was the famous Torte. Alta, one of the assassins of the 7th of July, liberated by San . 3liguel, the Minister, the Jugc d'lnstruction. The French garrlion was under arms, and thanks to this measure no disor. der ensued. Riego appeared well convinced of the • fate which awaits him. llc behaves with great dignity', and speaks to no. body. Hip. trial is much spoken of, but the general opinion is that he will be judged by a Military Commission, the Chief of which will.be General Castanos. "The Autumn fair has begun, and the shops are opened in the street d'Alcala. There is much company there, but not a single respectable person."—(Morning Chronicle.) Yesterday morning Mr. WILLI AMC, the King's Messenger arrived at the Foreign Office, Down ing -street, with dispatches from Sir CIIA STUART; atTaris. Sir ItODERT HERON, finding his politics not sufficiently fashionable in the county of Lincoln, has withdrawn his pretensions to the representa tion. The only candidate at present is Sir Wm. INGE. Y A hICOTTS. Nem-DisTmt.vnty LAWS.—By the New Bill, it is enacted that from and after the 10th Octo ber, English wine, measure is to be the standard measure measure for Irish and. Scotch spirits. This regulation is most material to the Public. The Stamp Duties paid on account of the lute Mr. IticAttuo's will amount to 6,0001. The trustees of the Deptford lower roads' met on Wednesday last, for the purpose of electing a say-Igor to the Trust. The candidates were Mr. M'Adam, the projector of the new plan for proving the pavement - of the metropolis, and Mr. 'Horton Ledger. At 'the close of the election, the numbers were—;For Mr. Ledger, 32-,-Mr. M‘Adam, 11. . A ruffian far advanced in years, namel Thomas Par Mer, a sort, or pedlar, was charged yesterday at ,flow - street with having stolen a child only six years and'seven months old from her parents, who reside in Prince's-street, Lambeth, for a purpose horrible even to allude to.. He was pursued and. detected after a diligent 'search. The Ma gistrate- committed .him for felony in stealing' the child, and ordered a detainer to be lodged against him for the assault. Convinced that the publication of 'details in cases of this kind, and others equally disgusting, only tends to shock the feelings of the respectable part of society, and to increase the spread of licentiousness amongst the vicious, - - we have always - abstained from in serting them. Lt would be well if some of our contemporaries followed , our example. A news paper containing such statements as we have re cently seen in some of them ought to be ex cluded with indignation and contempt, not only from private families, but from every decent coffee-room. The extent of the mischief pro duced by such descriptions is incalculable ; and on the score of justice they have no excuse, for the exposure of the criminal is equally affected by the bare - mention of his offence and its punish men t,--( New Times.) A MANIAC.—In the course of the day a person of genteel exterior presented himself to Mr. MINSUULL, at Bow-stteetiand solicited a private, interview, as he said he had something to com municate respecting a murder in Ireland. Mr. Minsittill accordingly went into the room, taking another Gentleman with him, and on the ap plicant for the private interview being introduced, he began talking so manifestly: incoherent, as plainly denoted his being in a state of insa nity. lie also- accompanied his declamation with such extravagant action, which became so violent, that Mr.'Minshell fearing he would do some mischief precipitately left the room, and Ordered sonie of the patrolo to go in and secure him. lie no sooner perceived his intention, than falling on his knees, roared out with a voice sufficiently loud to alarm the neighbourhood, " Oh, Lord God ! what have I done ? Murder ! What haie I done ?" It was some time before. he was rendered the least quiet, but no hence cOuld be gained from him as to who or what he was.---Mr. Minsbull humanely ordered him to be When proper care of, FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

CHELTENHAM', 9.—This place has never, within our remembrance, presented so gay an appearance at this period of the year, as it does at present. The town is literally as full as in some of its most prosperous summers, and it is with diffi culty that houses adapted for large families can be obtained yet, notwithstanding the accession of fashionable visitors still continues, and may rather be said to increase than diminish. Certain it is that an attraction is held out during the winter, such as is not merely unprecedented in Cheltenham, but un equalled throughout the kingdom. We allude of course to the grand concentration of vocal and instrumental talent, effected by that eminent professor Mr. Bochsa, and our clever and re spectable townsman Mr. 'Woodward, whose arrangements fur the series of Concerts, Italian and French Operas, which they have announced, entitle them to the warmest praise, and must ensure them the amplest patronage. The selections they have, made are a compliment to the proverbially fine taste and libe rality of our distinguished visitors, and our resident Nobility and Gentry, and we confidently anticipate the most gratifying result. TEIGNMOUTII, OCT. 7.—On Saturday last this gay water. in;-place was thronged with numerous equip!iges, all anxiously driving to the Royal Clarence Theatre to witness an amateur performance. The Rivals and The Poor Soldier were the pieces selected for the evening's amusement. The entertainments went oft' with great spirit and eclat, and we understand the gentlemen intend playing again 'on ,Tuesday evening next, in aid of the charities of the town, when an overflow may be ex. pected. With the attraction of private balls and other gaiety, reignmouth is likely to be very full all the winter. • BaTit.—Arrived since our last, Lord John Thynne, Col.

( From the SUnterset-Houte Weekly Afiseelhtny.) SIR JAMES TtimtNitir,L.—Wltt) can look upon the name of this English worthy without a particular feeling of veneration for the man ? as he may he considered the first native painter of talent in the historical department which our country could boast. Or who can look up into the dome and cupola of our Metropolitan Cathedral, and behold the decayed state of his masterly enrichments of that sublime part of the structure, without strong feelin of regret that the works of the father of the English school of art should remain the only manifestation of neglect in the recent reparations of that noble structure ? Sir Peter Paul Ruben* received for his painting of the Grand Plafond at the banquetting.house, Whitehall, the sum of four thousand pounds, which is little more than four hundred yards of work; so that be was paid nearly ten pounds per yard.— This patronage was bestowed in the days of that great encou rager of the Arts, the unfortunate King Charles. Now our countryman, Sir James Thornhill, received for his laborious and crowded designs on the ceiling at Greenwich' Hospital, only three pounds . per yard, and this nearly a cen tury after the painting of hitehall, when the comparative value of, money was so much reduced i and only the sum of ono pound per yard for painting the ornaments uponAlte This, employment he was appointed to in the reigp. of Queen Anne, but the work was not completed until the reign of King George the First. He commenced in the year - 1708, and finished in 1727 ; for which he was paid altogether the sum of 0 AV. The valuation of the work, after many attempts to screw the painter to a cheaper contract, was made by the Directors of the Hospital, after consulting the following eminent artists, natives and aliens, then practising the art with various success in bon. don ; Vandervelt, Cooper, Richardson, (our old friend Jona than) Sykes, and Degard, who reported in favour of Sir J ames, that the performance was equal to any of the like in England, and superior in number of figures and ornaments. i 1 The late Duke of Montagu," says Sir James, in his Me morial to the Commissioners for building the Hospital, " paid Monsieur.Rosso, for his saloon, 2,0001., and kept an extraordi. nary table for him, his friends, and servants, for two years. whilst the work was doing at an expence computed at 500/. per annum ; which is nearly four hundred and tiny, yards, amount ing to abotit seven pounds per yard." " Signor Vartio was paid for the whole palaces of Windsor and Hampton Court, ceilings, sides, stairs, and back-stairs, Os. per foot ; which. is 12s, per yard, exclusive of gilding; had wine daily allowed him, lodgings in the palaces ; and when his eye-sight failed him, a pension of 2001. per annum, and allow ance of wine for life." " Signor Rizzi had of the present Duke of Portland, for three rooms, 1,0001. ; for the little Chapel at B ulatrode , 600/. ; of the laird Burlington , for his staircase, 7001. " Signor Pellegritni, of , the Duke of. Portland, for work at his house 0001. ; and for a small picture over a chimney. 501. ; of the Earl of Burlington, for the sides of his ball, 2001." The Venerable ,the Archdeacon of Bath, C. MOYSEY, D.D., is now performing a course of Parochial Visits, for the purpose of rigidly inspecting not only the state of the main walls, roofs, and the whole of the external as well as internal repairs of the several Churches, Church-yards, Vanit.s, nod Burial Grounds, but also to ascertain the number and condition of all Glebe and Parsonage-Houses, the amount and nature of all Bequests and Benefactions to the dif ferent 'Churches. and to obtain a full and descriptive inventor of all Chtirch Property, such as communion plate, bibles, i rayer-books, &c. &c. as also a correct catalogue of the books, ere there is a library belonging to any C hurch within his Arch eaconry. In order to prepare the parish for this visitation, a Circular, containing the necessary questions, has been previously sent to the Officiating Minister and Churchwardens of the different parishes. On Monday the Archdeacon personally inspected with the utmost mi. nuteness that beautiful structure, the Abbey Church, where we understand, he wa s pl eased to express himself in terms, of the warmest commendation of the state of the build. ings, and the order, regularity, and cleanliness of the interior. On IVednesclay morning lie. visited St. James's Church, and like Wise expressed himself in terms highly gratifying to those entrusted with. Its care. The other Churches in the Arch oemeortry w ill be visited in regular rotation..--('Bath Herald.) POETRY. 110HENLOIIE MIRACLES. Art—" Green grow the rushes, 0."

A trial of aquatic skill took place yesterday morning from Millbank to Chiswick, with the tide, between Messrs. Broad. wood and Ferrer, in one boat, and Messrs. Jenkins and Hoare :in another. The race was for twenty sovereigns; and the coin. petitors, strong young amateurs, mado an citeellent race. The first boat was rowed m yellow jackets, and the second in red. The yellow took the lead ; but at Wandsworth the boats were 'together, each striving to pull a head, and the red got first through Putney Bridge. By great exertions the yellow got a head, and won the race by about six boats' length. The time in doing the match was under three quarters of an hour. •BOX KY/S.- I'n E It iv AG CHAMP] o No.— At length these men have come to terms.

Last night an information was given that two men had stopped a gentleman but did not strike him, as he had the presence of mind to attempt to draw a pistol, when one of them retreated, and he spurred his horse ost. The Patrol immediately pursued, and Over bok them, and on the one, named John Thomp son, they found a huge stick, and on the other, JPWant Coulson, the ferule of an umbrella,' having the appearance of a pistol barrel. They were consequently brought before the I%lagis. trate, when it appeared that they we're illhithit• ants of the Refuge for the . Destitnte. They both strongly protested their innocence, and a gentleatin" from that establishment gave them very goad characters. Neither of the persons who were stopped came forward, and it appear ing that they had been provided with ships by the Society, and were to leave England on Monday, the worthy 'Magistrate having admonished them, said he would not put any bar in their way'; but if either of the gentlemen who had been stopped wished to proceed further, they would be again taken into custody ; but for the present he should dismiss them, and let them return to their home. cif A IMES TOF TwEiapes —At a broker's shop in Vere-atreet has been for some time past exhibited, to the delighted gaze of the antiquaries of Clare-market, a huge pair of jack-boots, furnished with a spur and a half of heavy metal, and covered with that precious serugo width • antiquity only can bestow. The connoisseurs in that erudite neighbourhood have been for some slam diVided, respecting their identity, part inclining to the supposition that they were originally OP property of Capt. Tobias Shandy, and afterwards converted into demi-cul verins by the engennity of James Butler, better known by the name of Trim; while others, who deny the possibility of the fact, frinn the circum stance of nn vestiges of the Corporal's operations being found upon . their superfices, were inclined to consider them as, having once appertained to the celebrated Mr. Thomas Thumb, the spoils of a certain Ogre, whom he had decapitated. Con jecture, however, has at length been set at rest by the discovery that they are, in fact, the very hoots worn by the celebrated Charles XII., King of Sweden, at . the , battle of Pultnwa, against Peter the Great, and which that hero' is represented 'as never having pulled off for six weeks together. A 'placard announcing this ion pottant fact has been, within these few days, affixed to them, and these invaluable relics are now offered to the piiblic by their spirited owner at the cothraratively contemptible' price o f fire guineas The French have made such progress in the manufacture of cashmere shaw ls, that an article of that kind, which would have cost one hun dred and fifty franca in 1819, is now sold for 90 francs. There is also a great fall in the price of silk gowns—what sold ut 1% francs au ell four years ago, is now selling at 11. We are sorry to learn that Thomas Glover, whom we stated on Tuesday to have been stung by a fish, and.whose arm was aroputated,oxpired on NV ednrsday.----( Kentish Gazette.) Yesterday evening a respectable young man, word James Oliver, 9.1 years of age, son-in-law it) Mrs. Alexander Wintosh, of Broad.stroei, Golden-square, was on a visit to Mrs. Pink, 3, Swan-place, Old Kent.road, when lie was sod. , denly seized with illness, and became inset). sible, every means was resorted to in order to restore him, without effect, and on the maid servant saying she saw him quit the shop of on apothecary close by, just previous to coming to the door, it was deemed necessary under the im pression that he had taken poison, to send him to Guy's Hospital immediately, where he arrived still in a stateof stupor, and notwithstanding every possible effort to rouse him, he expired in a short time. Disappointed love is supposed to have led to the rash act as in his pockets several papers were found, all beginning with 44 Dear Mary"—one requesting permission .to Cali ern her to disclose the grand secret ; others, it's in your power to make me happy—remember the keepsake," &c. The body has since been opened. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. This morning the Chief Commissioner (—Rtr )(OLDS, .Esq.) sat at the Office, in Lincoln's Inn-fields, for the disposal of business. Thomas Phillips, an insolvent, was brought up to be dis charged, his detention arose in consequence of his not inserting more fully in his schedule a sum of 4001. which had been lett to his wife, and the interest of which they were at the present receiving. The insolvent produced the will, which the Com missioner orderesi to be inserted in the schedule, and the insol. vent to be discharged. James }invite. formerly a pastry-cook and confectioner in Newgate.street, was next brought up for judgment. The Curer COMMISSIONER observed, on passing judg ment, that the insolvent, in th“ourse of carrying on his busi ness, bad become much embarrassed : being arrested for a debt, he instantly went into 'eonfinement, but contrived to re move a quantity of his furniture and stock in trade, which it WAS since ascertained he had paid to one of his creditors. Alt.

When the Coroner took him seat, one of the Jury got up, and addressing his brother Jurym en, observed—'. Gentlemen, be tore we continence husiAess, we bad better retire and view the body of the deceased, in order to be certain whether he is - dead Or alive, as perhapa , it moy, be all a hOll3l. • Another ,Juryman.---" Sir, I hope yon,,Are not afraid that the deceased has come' to life again r" Mi. .1 E nstt:TT that directed the jury to view the bony, when the ittilowing evidence was afterwards adduced :—_ Mrs. Anne Oar, ;timber to the deceas.d, stated that oa Monday evening last,. between six and seven o'clock,' the deceased came borne; and she wax informed shortly after, that. he was in the -privy backwards, retching violently.-- . . She proceeded there, and found hint as deselibed. In re. pply to witness, the deceased said lie had not been drink. • ng, and that 'it was of no use to get him any thing, as he should never want either victuals or drink again. He was at length prevailed upon to walk into the house, and he with dif. • ficulty staggered up stairs, threw !tine:ellen the bed, and con tinned 'dreadfully ill until about halt past eleven o'clock,. when he expired. Witness, on scarehing his waistcoat. pocket, found two papers, one of which contained a small ()ordeal of powder, and had written on it" arsenic—poison."" Witness was then persuaded that the deceased had poisoned himself : a doctor was sent for, who decided that the unfortunate man had killed himself in conserpience of having taken arsenic enough to destroy 20 men. She added that her son had attempted to destroy self on three different occasions before with the same mineral' poison, and, it was onlya few days previous to his death that he had thrown himself into the Snirey Canal, out of which he was•dragged, nearly 'drowned. She mentioned this circuit:. stance, which clearly proved. that , the deceased was !skimming under insanity at the time he destroyed himself. " Thc deceased poisoned himself in a fit of insanity." hIPROVED METimp OF MAKINO COPFEr.—A. correspondent, in the ''Annals of Philosophy,' for the present month, gives the following as an improved method of prelim ing this delightful beverage From .the highly fugaeitraa nature of that part of ez,ffee on which Its fine flavour de pends, a practice has become very generally adopted of late year(' of preparing the liquor by mere atraining. This tnethod has nut only the great detect of being excessive ly wasteful, but the ranee is likewise apt to be cold.:— Coetion, and the preservation of the fragrant mutter, Are, hoWever, out inconsistent. The union of these advantages is attainable by performing the , operation in a close veil sel. To obviate the production' of vapour, by Which the vessel would be raptured, the boiling temperature must be obtained in a water bath. In my experiments, I made use of a glass phial closed with a cork, at first let loose to allow the exit of the air. Coldwater was put to the coffee. This process is equally applicable to tea. Perhaps it may also be employed advantageously in the boiling of hops, during which, I understand, that a material portion of their mama is dissipated t is likewise possibly for Making certain medic it de. wedeln.. This way of preparing coffee and tea prsient4 .Vie' rious advantages. It is productive of a very, considerable eco. tunny, since, by altoUing of any continuance of the cortiOn without the least injury to the goodtiess, nil the soluble matter may be extracted, and, consequi,ntly. a proportionate less quantity of them becomes requirt.li. Ity allowing the coffee to cool in the dopiest vessel, it MAY he filtered through papei, then returned into the closest vessel, and heating again, and thus had of the most perfect clearness without any foreign addition to it, by which coffee is impaired. ON Ecttocs.--,An cello is a reflected sauna the ancient philosophers were unacquainted with the true nature of the echo. The 'mete sup posed it to have been a nymph, veto pined into a sound, for love of Nerciatsus. Du t the modern statsof philosophy has established it upon unerring principles. A cording I to tlic variou d istances from the mieaker,areflectingobject will re turn the echo of several; or of it few syllables, for all the syllahles must he uttered before the echo of the first syllable reaches the ear, otherwise It will make a confUsiob. In a moderate way of speaking, shout 3i syllables are prtmounced in one second, or RCM syllables in two seconds.. Vrom the computations of, ' short-hand writer, it appears that a ready and rapid orator, in the English language, pronounces from 7,009 to 7,590 words in am hour; namely, about 120 words illlionnuie, or two words in tub second. Therefore, when an echo repeats 7 syllables, the re.fle. t r ing object is 1,142 feet distant ; for since sound trevele at the rate of 1,143 per second, the distance front the speaker .1 the reflecting object, and again from the latter to the former is twice 1,142. When the echo returns 1.1 syllables, the reflect ingg, object must be 2,2114 feet distant, and so on. A famous echo is said to be in Vtroodittoelt Park; Oxford, It repeats seventeen syllables in the day time, and twenty at night, when the air being somewhat denser the sound doe* not travel quite so fast. There is also a remarkable echo on the north side of Shepley church, in Sussex, which will repeat distinctly 21 syllables. At Rearmed), near Illaigew, their is an echo that repo:its the tune playing with; a trumpet three times completzly and distinctly.

A EN'A'ABLE OrrilitllENEE.--.Abollt four o'clock 'on Thursday se'nnight, the *Ammer , Tiaanas, with coals, got under weigh at Carrickfergus Ileutds„ ter Iced beset, with a pilot on board, and being about two , mites wost south-west of that place, with ,all neemory sail sot, was in a moment struck with a violent gust of wind, by which she was immediately sunk, in the sight of Many spielatom, n,,t withstanding every exertion having been made by the Captain anti crew to save her. The pilot, Capi,:ain, and four °theta, who had the good fortune to be on deck, were saved ; but Airs. Clements (the Captain's wife), Wm. Jack, the mate, a female passenger and her two children, being below, unfortunately perished.—Shortly after the schooner sunk, she righted, arid her two masts became visible about 12 or 14 feet above the surface of the water. On the evening of Friday, John David son, fisherman, aided by some others, succeeded in finding, with a boat-hook, the body of William Jack, in the cabin, from which he drew it forth. On the same evening, Thomas Park hill, seaman, found the body of Mrs. Clements ' the Captain'a wife, which he succeeded in removing from th e cabin. The female passenger, whose name is unknown, with her two hub boys, named William and John, yet remains in the fore-eastleJ from which she could not be removed. Yesterday at two o'clock, a youth named Tom taNsom, whose parents reside in Cromer. court, St. James's, was crossing the street from Craig's-court to Spring.Gardetts, when two stage coaches, a coal waggon, and an errand cart blocked him up, and as he endeavoured to pass through under the horses, he was jammed betw vett the wheel of the cart and the seat wagon, and as the cart moved on, he was pulled down ender the wheel, which passed over his arm and 61111114htd it to atoms. He was taken up in a. state of in. sensibility, and carried to a surgeon's shop close by, , who dressed they bruises, and advised hint to he taken to the hospital instantly to get it set.
