!rug ; THEATRES. ',r I.l,lNGtb THEATRE.--This Theatre opened again last night with the same performances as on Sa turday, viz. La C4'111022(1 di. Tito, and The Car , nival of' Venice. A printed apology for Made moiselle CARADORI was circulated in the The. atre, bespeaking the indulgence of the audience on account of her indisposition; she, however, exerted herself with pleasing effect. The season bas hardly yet commenced, but from the nume rous audience present promises success. Daun.y-LANE.—The new two act piece tof Simpson and Co. was repeated last night with great applause. It was followed by the Farce of Old and Younm, in which little FISHE R , as usual, gratified the audience by her spirit and versatility. The new Pantomime of The Golden Are s as we expected, was much improved on re.• petition, and is likely to be very attractive. COVENT-G AtIDEN,---rMiss PITON, who has for some weeks been seriously indisposed, received a very flattering reception last night on her ap pearance as Mundane in the Opera of Artaxerxel, so honourable to the taste, science, and genius of . our countryman pr. ARNE. Aliss PATom seemed anxious to triumph over the languor which con ' tinued illness generally produces, and acquitted herself most ably. Her songs i n genera l were given'with great taste and brilliant execution, but her triumph was complete in - 7%e Soldier Ilied,'which we have hardly ever heard with more effect. She was of " course eneored. PEinl4ll34 ) Arbuees, Duttuvry, in Artaxerxes, I3AACSj in Artabanes, and Miss Love, in Sendru, evidently acquitted themselves to the satisfaction .of the audience. The Opera is compressed into two acts, but the chief beauties of the composi tion are retained. The audience,a very crowded one, were, as usual, retained by Harlequin and the Ogress till the final dropping of the curtain. I Miss BauwroN.—lt has been erroneously • stated - that this accomplished comic actress has accepted an engagement at Tar. COBURG Theatre. It is true that. very liberal offers were made to her from that Theatre, but she declined them. • She is now, we understand, ftiltilling her provin ' dal engagements in the North, but it is difficult to conceive why an actress of her great comic powers does not hold a high and permanent situa tion in Loudon on the boards of a Patent Theatre. The following is an extract fr;orn the Bombay Courier of the 27th of July " Itii.with feelings of a very painful nature that we commits mate the following melancholy catastrophe, by which a worthy, and meritorious Officer (Civet. John Mack) and two boatmen met a watery grave. The following are . the particulars of thii sad accident Capt. Mack, of the Hun. Company's Marine, having conducted the Hon. Company'a ship Buckinghamshire . well without all the reefs, on her passage to sea, quitted that ship about 4 p.m. on the 2.oth inst. The sea running very high . at the time, he got into the pilot-boat fro the ship's larboard mizen chains,, and immediately directed the tow rope to be let go, and the foremast to be stepped,. which was done, and while the crew, were in theact of hoisting the foresail a very high fol lowing sea struck the boat, overwhelmed her, and drove her •. under water, head foremost. The boat soon re-appeared, keel uppermost, and eight of the crew succeeded in getting hold of her, but nothing was seen of Capt. Mack. 'Three others of this crew fortunately got hold of the boat's yard, but the other twoi. tailed in the attempt, and sunk. The accident being Seen at the moment from the Buckinghamshire, that ship was instantly wore, and succeeded in saving the eight men who were clinging to the boat's keel. The body of Capt. Mack wets picked up and - bought to Bohibay at 2 p.m. on the 22d, and was interred the* .same evening.".

A case of the same kind was heard, a few days since, b e f ore t h e T r i bunal of COrrectional Police at Paris. Monsieur Aubert, who kept, as he himself announced, an exact register of all vacant places, had informed the public of his intention to favour any persons with a par ticiipation in his valuable stock of informa tion, who might be disposed to present him in return with an annual subscription of from live to ten francs.• But those who resorted to 'this loi-diiiintdiSVens er of good things, soon found that all his promises were vain.

On Christmas Day, and at a period of the year when Sacred Music is particularly expected to give sublimity to. out Saviour's Birth, strange to relate ! no organ, no voice, was heard in our Church to celebrate the glories of the Redemption. From the period of our late most gracious Monarch's visiting this town, who most religiously and constantly attended divine set. vice in our Church, his Majesty was known often . to declar.; his approbation, of the manner. in which.the musical part •of it was performed, anti expressed his Royal wish that, in addition to it; the Vcnite and the 7'e Deana should be chaunted. This has been scrupulously observed, and continued ever since. The consequence has been, that, under the able tuition of the organ. istetrehoir has been gradually formed, which is the pride of the Inhabitants and the admiration of the strangers and visi. tors. But the present officiating Minister appears not to take any delight in mask. In the year 1819, he forbade the choir to perform its usual. This caused a great eigi• tation among the parishioners, who met in vestry, and passed some resolutions, to which lie conformed, anti the choir resumed their functions. But again he has made a second attempt of a similar nature in its tendency; so that now the pastor and his flock, are unhappily divided ; and our excellent choir, which, after great pains and labour, had arrived to its present perfection, is likely to be disaolved, if the Rector do not in terpose hts authority. The Parish have deputed Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Voss, the two churchwardens, to make a full representation. of their grievances to the Rev. D. Wyndham, the worthy incumbent ; and from our. knowledge of his benevolent disposition, we have no doubt of his immediate and efficacious interference. But should that expectation be unhappily disappointed (of which, however, there is not much probability), it is intended to sub mit the case to the judgmetienf the Bishop of the dioceie. In the spirit of good will, we earnestly recommend the Cu rate to peruse and consider maturely the Bishop of London's late admirable charge, to his Clergy, part of which we heard read at our last vestry. %%'e still hope, however, that, not withstanding the present state of things, the Rev. Gentleman Will see the necessity of restoring peace and harmony between himself and the parishioners, by according with their reason able wishes, and thus conciliating their affections. G ARRICK.—A. writer in the Qua lidienne of Sa turday last, in a review Of a work on the Stage, gives the following anecdote of GARRICK, for the truth of which he says wisely enough that he " will not answer :"".." A young lady felt a violent passion for a Frenchman whom she saw in London, without being acquainted with him. He was just about to quit the banks of the Thames, ignorant, no doubt, that he wits Itia‘hig one behind who was to be the victim of his absence. The British Dido threatened with this cruel departure, and wishing not entirely to lose the object of her adoration, pointed out the hand. some Frenchman to C .utatic►c in a public place, begging him to preserve a remembrance of his features. GARRICK who probably at once per ceived in this the wish of a lover, made him self so completely master of the countenance of the young stranger, that he was soon able to console his too sensitive countrywoman, by presenting a portrait of the Frenchman, which a painter had been able to render.a strikd iug likeness from the wonderful imitation of GARRICK. This little story, for the truth of which I do not answer, does not appear sur prising, when we read in the memoirs of GARRICK his adventure at Versailles, where in the midst of the Court, when he had. seen I IXIV, only once, he represented the‘majestic features of the King with such perfeclion, that every one e•x claimed, " Vivo le ItOif"----" Vive Laois XV !"

The friendof COVE`rTitY in early days, And still the friend, through life's bewild'ring maze, Here litouctrEn lies, whom Fate ordain'd to fall 'Mid the gay circle of a festive Hall, Where friendship, taste, and elegance combired, To render all that could delight his mind ; And where the.sudden stroke that . laid him low, Chang'd Pleasure's Mansion to the House of Woe. Alas ! not provident of worldly pelf,* For others caring more than for himself, Hite-ready hand his gen'rous heart obey'd, Whene'er afflicted Worth requi4 his aid, Though be, while pity in his bosom gloved, Perchance might want the succouri k he bestow'd. His manners free, but cautious of offence: With classic learning stor'd, and sicrling sere ; But though with various knowledge limply fraught, With.no parade for vain applause he sought, Content to hear, all other praise reilgn'd, The " still small voice" of an approving mind. Ah ! since no ling'ring pain prolong'd his end, Lament not, CovENTRY, thy early friend, Suminon'd at once by Mercy to 'the skies, From earthly cares to Heay'nly joys to rise. And when, of high and low the certain doom, Thou, tbo, shalt follow to the silent tomb, Thy lovid companion thou wilt then regain, To share in bliss that will for aye remain.

From the (lin den peculiar to our townsmen, the bidding was slow ; and the article was sold for 2s. On being opened . it contained silver peil. cils and 'penknives, worth much More than the sum. Many were , the reflections among the crowd. But the wily salesman was not long in announcing another parcel of the sam e size and appearance. The 'contest was inure keen, and it was knocked down for upwards of live shillings. It contained izco salt herrings and a penny roll,—(Perth Courier.) The plate stolen frOM Lady CAROL; NE DAM ER'S, Milton Abbey, Blandford, has' been nearly all recovered ; it was found in the pond where afew spoons were discovered on the morning after the robbery, on its being thoroughly dragged.

Witness,could discover no marks of violence, and, after - duly examining the body, and opening a vein, h e was of opinion the d ec e ase d d ie d o f apoplexy, and that he bad been dead three quarters of an hour. Mr. John Cribb, of No. 113, High Holbern, surgeon, attend ed the deceased for some 'years, who was always of an infirm habit, partly produced by his irregular mode of life. He per fectly agreed with hl r. Ireland that apoplexy. was the immediate cause of the deceased's death. Ann Clark, servant to the deceased; stated, that her master on the morning of Thursday last see m e d very we ll i n h ea l t h . About eight o'clock he insisted upon having some brandy ; a quartern and a halt, being what he usually took at that time, was brought him, which he drank off; the day before the deceas. ed had drank eight quarterns ; he remained in bed till about two, When he threw himself out on the floor, and witness with her mistress were unable to get him. in again, during which time he used the most shocking language, and threatened to Murdh them ; they therefore let him remsin on the floor till half-past four t during which time they were busily engaged in removing the furniture to other apartments, intending to carry deceased away in a coach. On witness's return into the room about five, they found deceased dead,: but slid not cull assistance, as they supposed he still laboured. under intoxication. Witness , had been in the deceased's service only three.months, during which time she had seldom seen him sober ; sometimes he had laid on the:ground until three o'clock in the morning, and witness ' and her mistress were unable to get him up if they attempted to move him, he would threaten to murder them.

'Witness further stated that her mistress was always soUr, and treated the ilecea.sed with the greatest kindness ; he once struck her while she was attempting to lift Lis head up. Mr. Wm.

Davies, surgeon, said he exa mined the body of the deceased, and that he found the inte rior' maxillary bone of the right side of the face fritemred, and also an extensive fracture of the superior maxillary ant temporal bones of the left Side of the head, with considerable depression, causing pressure of the. brain. The face was. dis coloured from extravasation of the blood, and there were three marks on each Kick of the neck, as if by finger nails.

They are fully committed, and lodged in the county gaol. • MURDER lx Khrisn,6 Doss, fl'or. penter, residing at Ilenyapookur of ' in,khe eastern sub urbs of Calcutta, suspected his wife, a very beautiful young woman, to have fallen in love with one of her neighbours. On the evening of the 2fith of April, while the woman and her paramour were passing, their happiest moments in her own chatnber, the carpenter returned ; anti 'go muCh'preased was he with hunger, that without paying the least attention to any thing that was going on before Ins eyes, he, as usual,- cried out from the very door, " Bow, kolah geli bhat de ; that is, " Come, wife, set my dinner b e f ore me." The voice of her 'husb a nd filled her mind with terror, and she came out to give him a pot of water to wash his feet, and then went to light up the lamp. The carpenter took his seat upon the lower beam of the door, and the gallant seeing no other Means left of making his escape but breaking through the outside wall, he in that manner effected his retreat. The noise made upon this occasion escaped not the attention of the carpenter, who, thus knowing the'treachery of his wife, discovered not the least symptoms of anger; botwith the seine tone as before told her " Nagaami our bid n khabo (tuft ; ainar bOro matha dhoriacce ; chola gye sooya thaki ;" errs " I won't dine now ; I have got ,k severe head-ache ; l e t us g o t o rest." They then went t o beds and entered into a long conver sation; and about midnight, seeing his wires wrapped in pro found sleep, the carpenter rose up, and to -satisfy the violent passion which he had hitherto suppressed, he critelly thrust }mire into her throat, and thus at once put an end to her &vs. The perpetration ofthis criminal act gave rise to a variety of reflections in his mind, and he at last came to the conclusion that his own life must pay for the murder which he had committed. Very early next morning he locked the door of his. house, anti went to Callee Ghent, where having offered a grand . Paloo to the goddess Calloe, he cam e b ac k to t h e Kutcherry, at.

INSLT4RECTION AT MARTINIQUE. ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S, OCT. 26.--Tor some time past there has been a number of very sudden deaths among the Planters of Martinique, as also among the cattle, &c. belonging to-the Colony, which naturally created . a suspicion that all was not as it should be ; and ,af ter 'a diligent enquiry, it was discOiered that these. deaths originated in poison, and that its ,administration was confined to .about 40 Ne groes, who had been in the habit of this vile prac tice fora length of time. They were immediately. arrested for "punish ment. The news bein g carr i e d to t h e diff erent plantations where they a belonged, three 'planta tions revolted, and before they could be sab dued, committed several atrocious murders, not only on the white male inhabitants, but on'in nocent females. The Mulattoes sufered 'also; and it is worthy of remark, that the Negroes directed their fury as much against , the coloured people as the whites.. It is said two Mulatto companies of infantry have shawl' themselves very active in the suppression of this affair. The lait accounts from Martinique left the Regulars and Militia pursuing the fugitives in the mountains. About 200 have been ordered for execution ; that is to say, to be buht.
