THE THEATRES. DRURY.LANS.—The Heir : at Law was the first piece last night, and the Lord Dulierley of DOWTON, the Panglos of ILAKLRY, and the Homespun of KNIGHT, were much applauded. The new ballet of Cupid and Fully was repeated. A new character was iatroduced in the dramatic sketch of Stella and Leatherlungs, and rendered the piece more amusing. Miss CLARA Frsriva, us usual, was much admired. COVENT GARDEN.— The School for Scandal was the attraction last night at this Theatre, and was well supported by Messrs.C. K aasur s, FAR..

We riere glad to see a numerous and elegant audience attended, as a just tribute to the talent of this highly-gifted young Lady, and regret that want of time and space prevents our entering fully into the merits yf her different performances, but it would be unjust not to say, that we do not remember any actress's having made a more favourable impres sion on the Liverpool critics than Miss 144cY, ►tuning her short engagement here.—(Liverpooi raper.) , The accounts of the Revenue 'for the presen Quarter (being the Michaelmas one) will not, we . believe; be made up till the 10th of the month ; but we rejoice to be already enabled to state, that so large is the _general improvement of.tlte Revenue, that in the Customs alone there is an average increase, front : the sth of July le the';'.l:th of September, of not less titanr 339 1 1081 Yesterday afternoon Prince LEOPOLD and Prince LEINENOEN {the only sou of the Duchess of icesz.),.arrived, at the- Tower in the Royal Soziereign iteaM packet from ttamsgate.

RIEGU.--Andttjar, Sept. 17.—At the moment lam writing Riego is in prison here. All Ail dujar was on foot yesterday, expecting his arri val ; and such was the ferment among the people, theta was' feared the troops of the garrison would not be sufficient to prevent the people from pro ceeding to extrerneties. Many of the people waited up until three o'clock in' expectation of seeing At length he made his appearance about eight. It is impossible to give an idea of the effect produced on the populace. Our troops: hint much difficulty in keeping them within bounds. Cries of 46 Long live Ferdinand," " Death to Riego," were heard in all directions. He was. escorted by '2O men :and a party of the peasants by whom he was arrested. The latter did not lose sight 'of hirtifor rimoment, until they saw him safe in prison. At •Cariiiina the people had much difficulty in intrusting him to our soldiers ; and to make it more certain that he should not escape, one of them was about to dispatch - him with . his carbine, when be was prevented by: the French officer in whose charge he was. Riego' vas ac ..companied by an English Colonel, who had been taken prisoner with him. They were. both on horseback, and dressed in a sort of gray surtout, without any decoration. When he arrived oppo site a balcony from which the year before he harangued the people, he turndd round to the French officer, and pointing to the. crowds which surrounded them, he said, " These people whom dew you see so enraged against me, who, without your interference, would have ere this put an end to my life, bore me in triumph here last year; and the town, against my wish, forced me to accept of as sword as a testimonial. Duriug the whole uight 1 . Passed here, the houses were illuminated, the people danced under my windows, and deaf ened me with t heir acclannitions."—(Paris paper) MistAct.ts.---The Dublin Journal of Tuesday last says We Were quite right in our re: cent eommunication, that the performance of Irish miracles was postponed until thirfirst day of January next. The fact was announced to be lievers at the different chapels yesterday. We early foresaw that the Jesuits could not get up frauds of this,kind. so quickly as once a month. The thiug would not do—there was not, in the course of thirty days, sufficient time to search for willing dupes, and to contrive all- the ininutite of impo. sition. Hence the necessity of postponement.-- We perceive the diffivcutesy lti shave urrou d ndi isco ng vered the humbuggers, and beliee he them also, but not too soon for as to 'nivel! think, their desperate designs. We really that if any more m iracles should be attem t iepd asted, the whele fraternity concerned s hould be r i m posters. , While old Dr. Troy lived, there was not a word about miracles, but he was r el ysca cold in his grav e, when the jugglers commece operations. Dr. Troy was an honest man ; he w ould not have counte na nced such, °ran) , frauds. But: let them come for m ward—the ore miracles the hater—the s ystem only s hews its rottenness, and' execrable bearing. It is now to ive o latethe to at tempt - brutalizi n g men —they perceir in terests too distinctly for the-. barbarous tyranny Priestcraft. They will not be frightened Out oof f their reason by pious phantasmagoria, nor cheated out of their property -by vain pretensions to benefit them through means - contrary, to na ture and morality." THE KINT: REJOICINGS AT WINDSOR. The fineness of the day . yesterday gave full effect to the rejoicings at Windsor in honour of his MA JESTY'S arrival at the Cas►le. At 12 o'clock the Mayor and deputation from the Corporation proceeded in three carriages from the town-hall, to present the Address to his Majesty.— i The deputation was received at .the Castle by the Marquis o Conyngham and Lord (leaves, who was the Lord in waiting' The Mayor presented. to the Marquis the following Address for his Majesty TO THE KING'S MOST EXC E LLENT MAJESTY. The loyal and dutiful Address of the Mayor, Bailiff, Burgesses, Recorder, Town-clerk, and other Inhabitants of the borough of New AVindsoi. May it please your Majesty,—We, the Mayor, Bailiffs, Bur gesses, Recorder, Town. Clerk, and. other ,inhabitants of the Borough 'of Windsor, most humbly and respectfully appresch your Majesty, to offer our heartfelt , and dutiful congratulation upon the joyful event of your Majesty's - arrival at your Castle of 'Windsor. ' • .On this occasion - ,. your Majesty's most affectionate sebjects and servants have a debt of gratitude to 'acknowledge, the es. pression of which they‘most earnestly offer to your Majesty.— They beg to assure you, Sire; that their obligations for the especial kindness and protection of your Majesty's Illustrious Family riming a long series of years can never be forgotten; and that under every circumstance their obligations have united with the homage which your Majesty's public and Pri vate virtues must command, to bind them in the most unvary. ing attadtment to your Royal Person, and the most cordial support of your Majesty's kind and paternal Government. In witnessing your Majesty's arrival at the renowned Palace of your ancestors, we feel, Sire, that the Castle of Windsor will acquire new glories by you! Majesty's residence, and that the future historian of this abode of a long line of illustrious Kings, will point to the whole course of your Majesty's government, as an evidence that with your Majesty's name is associated all that is wise and just in legislation, all that is heroic in name and military principles, and all that is permanent in national prosperity, as much as with 'those of the greatest Sovereigns whose memory has consecrated the " proud keep of Windsor" —the evidence of the British Monarchy and its strength, its grandeur, and its endurance. In our anticipation of the benetits which the borough of New Windsor must derive from your Majesty's most gracious pa:. tronage, we cannot forbear to hope, that the taste and munifi cence of your Majesty' will give a new impulse to the public improvements of this ancient town, so that, as it ii uneqttalled in its natural adiantages, it may keep pace with the general prosperity of your Majesty's dominions. `We beg, Sire, to offer our most ardent wishes for . your Ma • jesty's health, and the continued happiness of your Majesty's reign. May,your Majesty long enjoy their favoured palace of the Kings of England. May your Majesty be very long pre served to theiprayers of a loyal, happy, and contented people. The Marquis of Conyngham, on receiving this address, said, that he was,conunanded by his Majesty to express to the Mayor, darporation, and inhabitants of Windsor, the gratification he derived from their cordial reception on the previo► i s day and that the King would have on this day gone to see the dinner provided for the people, were not his Majesty unfortunately confined to the Castle by indisposition. At one o'clock the dinner to the populace was served up in the High-street ;:tables wero laid at each side of the foot-way., and the path kept open by the Mayor and constables. About 2,000 people, who were furnished with tickets, partook of the repast, which consisted of roast and boiled beef, and roast veal, sallatis, and plenty.of ale. Unfortunately, the ox was not in a condition to be:served up in due form, the roasting having been but partially effected.... su eh parts as were done were supplied, and the remainder will be baked, and distributed among the poor. Two roasted.sheep were brought, in a cart, placed at the heads of the tables, and cut up at the feast. 'Whilst the people were at, dinner, the Marquis of C.onynglatim, the Earl of Fife, Lord Graves, General Bolton, and some other members of the King's Household, passed between the tables, and expressed their satisfaction at the order and regularity which prevailed. The Earl of Harrington, who is Governor of ‘Vindsor Castle, with some ladies of his family, viewed the feast from the balcony of the Castle Inn. The moment the people were seated at the tables, the bands of the Horse Guards (Blue) and Fusiliers, which paraded between the lines, played the favourite sir of " 0 the roast Beef of Old England." They afterwards played " God save the King," " Rule Britania," and other popular airs to accompany the toasts. Sir R. Birnie and the Bow street police were present to assist in the maintenance of order. Townshend, the poliee.attendant at Windsor, un dertook the higher duty of escorting the Marquis of Conytig ' ham and the Berl of Fife through the crowd. Sir Edmund Nagle had also the advantage of Townshend's explanation of • the different joint; which covered the tables. The greatest and most commendable order prevailed et the dinner; a respectable inhabitant presided as steward far every 40 of the guests, and the carving ant distribution was conducted with the greatest re. gularity. It was a very gratifying sight to see the number of comfortably dressed women and children who dined at the tables. The Grace Was announced by discharges of carronades from the Park, and Mr. Meal, fUTIAIthea gratuitously,, a stock of wine to afford two glasses each to the people. The following toasts were given, and loud cheering, after the dinner : --" King, God bless him," four times four. " The Royal family," three times three. " Prosperity to Windsor," three times three. " The Mayor and Corporation" three times three. " The subscribers to the dinner, three times three ; and " The land we live in," three times three. A number of fashionable company in carriages drove through the streets during this hospitable treat, and the whole of the arrangements passed off with great eclat. The tables were cleared at threeo'clock. In the evening a public dinner was given the town-hall: about 200 sat down at the tables : The Mayor was in the chair. After the cloth was removed , the Mayor propoeed, " The King, and long may he enjoy,. and honour with his presence, the noble Castle a pplause,,times four. This was drank with grett u and followed by the anthem of "God *five the King," by Messrs. Hawes, Tetrad, Fitzwilltam, &c., Muster Wesley, and Master Farndell, of the chapel.royal. The next health drank was that of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the nigh Steward of the borough.

P., proposed the healths of the , Mayor and Corporation, upon whose s►trvices he pronounced an eulogium, for keeping the peace of the , borough, and always giving the use of the Town-hall.on all public occlusions. The MAYOR returned'thanks, and prpposed the health of Mr. Ramobottom and the Company. Olee—" Let the Mass be sung, and the Bells be rung"--(the Red Cross Inigbt.) The company sat until twelve o'clock. The illuminations were last night repeated s. some of th e decorations were tasteful. The principal hotels displayed the Royal insignia in coloured lamps. The Swan Inn was ex tremely brilliant. The streets were crowded throughout the evening, and the Eton boys were particularly active in the ex plosion of fire-works, It was most gratifying to be informed, that not a single accident happened during the -whole of the arrangements for celebrating the Royal arrival. Orders were yesterday issued that visiters should be admitted to see the Castle, during the Royal residence therein, as was the custom in hislate Majesty's time. The Duke of Wellington left Windsor for London yesterday morning. Ilia Majesty's indisposition did not prevent his re ceiving company at the Castle. Yesterday the Royaldinner party consisted of nineteen—prin. cipily composed of the Royal klousehold, and Sir, Charles Long and 111 r. Arbuthnot.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE .LETTER.-:-The festivities of the week commenced last night at` the Wellington Rooms, the company present amounted to between 6 and 6 - 00, and our ban cashire 'd itches never displayed their charms to greater ad vantage. Such was the desire to obtain tickets ( w hich - were limited), that as much as five guineas , were given in 0• veral instances.--. The whole of yesterday was beautifully fine, and promised well for the ensuing week, but a sudden change of wind during the night brought with it heavy rain, which poured in torrents during the whole of this morning, until about 12 o'clock, when the clouds dispersed , and welid . an -oc. casional gleam of sunshine. A most impressive etymon was preached this morning at St. Paul's, by the Bishop of Sodor and :Ilan, and a collection was mule in aid of the funds of the public charities. The Right Rev. Father took his text from the 12th chap. of St. Luke, .12th and 14th verses. During the service, Miss Stephens, Mrs. Salmon, Miss Goodall, Mr. Brehm, Mr. Vaughan, and Mr. Bellamy, delighted the congregation with a display of those talents for which they are all so eminent. The collection amounted to 2811., and taking into consideration the unfavourable state of the weather, it may be considered a Very large sum.—Preparations had been made for the ascent of Mr. Sadler, but from the state of the weather in the early part of the day, it was supposed that he would not attempt it ;.but die signal was made , from the Town-hall and the other publiubnildings, by hoisting flags, and long before three o'clock the streets were thronged . with one dense mass of the population of this !arise town, and the strangers who are visiting it, - all hastening to t neighbourhood of the House of industry, from the4rea of which the balloon was to as cend. At half-past tour the last grin gave the signal, and the bal• loon was seen to rise majestically frtnyt the centre of the buildings which had inclosed it front public view, but it was evidently not equal to the weight attached to it, and a thrill of terror ran through the immense multitude when they beheld the balloon strike the top of one of the wings of the house, and that instant the certain destruction o 4 tile adventurers appeared to be inevi. table. The next instant they cleared the building, but the bal• loon sunk under the weight, and alighted in a field about 200 yards distant. Thousands were seen rushing to the spot ; but en a few minutes the balloon again ascended (Mr. Sadler's companion having left the car), and the intrepid Aeronaut as. tended in a most magnificent style ; but the late danger had suppressed the cheers of exultation which accompanied his first ascent, and fear sat upon the faces of all present. The balloon winged its way through the heavens, and remained visible for ilb minutes, when it sunk fronLview as a speck amidst the clouds. During this time the weather continual far more favourable than could have been expected. A Concert this evening will finish the amusements of the day. Ma*GATE, OCT. 2.—Our theatre begins to be more attrae .tive, because, as I said before, the merits of the Performersare better understood. Last night The Merchant of Venice was represented, for the benefit, of Mrs. WILMOT VirELLS, the widow of the late Manager of our theatre, and her daughter. Mr. o...est a, always prompt at the call of benevolence, per, formed the part of Shylock in so excellent a manner as to excite the warmest applause of the audience. His acting in the ex pression of malrgpity is the more extraor di na ry as h e i s hi mse lf all benevolence. Mrs. AVEL LS was the Nerissa. Mrs. FAUCIT SAY iLLE gave a very spirited and elegant ra uport to Portia. Mr. F..SavIIL.I.E was very an Gno. The farce was rooTt's Taste, and Mr.: &must a dia. played the variety of his talents in the part of Lady Pentweasle, Which WAS admirably hit off', and aga in p rocured him the warm e s t approbation. The 5a41.1011 draws towards a conclusion, but we therefore draw more nearly to each other, and pass our time very agreeably altogether. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER AIEETING.

Poi 'Fit V. TO MY FRIEND, SHEFFIELD GRACE, OM READING iiIS MEMOIR OF HIS FATHER, RICHARD GRACE, OF DOLEY, As o'er thy pages, GRACE 1 I fondly bend, 'Where praise and worth in faithful union blend ; Where, as attach'd I read, and now admire The pious son, and now the accomplished sire, I glOw ; yet, coveting such rare desert, Sigh for like incense from a filial heart. Vain all the noisy fame the world can give; In a son's praise the good would wish to live. Where shall we find the man, by Heaven avow'd The first and.happiest, 'mid the human crowd ; Round whom, as victor in the mortal race, . Expecting angels hover to embrace.? Say, Shall we seek him in the. glare of courts, Where gay Corruption with her smile resorts ? Say, on the field of carnage.is he shown, Where the one glories as the thousand groan ? Say, shall we find him on the rosy bed, Where Pleasure's sons repose the listless head ? ! there hesiands—applatid him, as ye must ! Wise, active, .tnild, beneficent, and just t True to the kindness of the 'Almighty's plan, The zealous minister of good to man. Porm'd on the soil of gorgeous courts to shine, Yet pleased, Sweet Privacy to walk on thine ; Taught by his bosom's (lob that noon is GREAT, He woes calm glory in the middle state ; And, passion -free, above each meaner end, • Lives the dear consort, father, patriot, friend Careless of power or fortune's golden story, But to co:stroll the bad, or raise the poor ; To these, as WI as morning's pearly tear, To thOse o'erwheitning as the storm s career. .No slave to party, foe to partial laws ; Just to the sov'reign's end the people's cause, He stands aloft, in virtue's power array'd ; And factions shrink beneath his eye dlitertsted. Even wild Rebellion, by oppression bred, Blood on her hands and phrenzy in her head, Pauses to hear his voice ; and at his word Unfolds her grasp, and drape the murd'rous sword : The steel, reforml,.the,ploughshare's bend resumes; And earth once more beneatb its culture blooms. Such is the man, most favoUrsd of his kind, Who, strong from virtue—rich in wealth of mind High in himself—too high to be depress'd, Or raised by kings • and, as he blesses, blesal ; Lives honour'd and beloved ; and; when he dies, Is bathed by thousands in the dew of eyes. Can chiefs or monarchs vie their stets with hie t• Their blopd-stain'd glories or their feverish bliss ? With the rich, steady sunshine of' his breast, Can Pleasure's fools their meteor joy contest ? With the pure current of his days compare Their Wei* foul streem of riot and of care ; Their youth of vanity, their age of pain, Their single hour that laughs,—their twenty that complain ? Such is the man, my GRACE! thy hand pourtrays, Now in true grandeur spurning mortal praise. Yet, it' from heaven to earth his eye can rove, To see this offering of his SHEFFIELD'S love ; Blameless he still one human joy may know ; And the rapt father In the seraph glow. Chiswick, 18.13. CHARLES SYMMONS.* • See p. 36 of Memoir. LETTER. WRITING. The following three specimens of letter•writ ing of the last century are curious. They are preserved in a tract now of extreme rarity—by that excellent and indefatigable writer, Lord Hanes. The first h from the Duchess Dowager o Lenox to King James the First:— " My Sovereign Lord, • " According to your 51ajesty's greatest pleasure signified unto me, I have sent a young man to attend you, accompanied with n widow's prayers and tears, that he may wax old in your service; and in his fidelity and affection may equal his ancei, tors departed ; and so shall he find grace and favour in the eyes of my .Lord the King; which will revive thee dying hopes and raise the dejected *Titus of a comfortleas mother,-- " Your Majesty's most humble servant, " KA. LENOX." The following forms a good contrast to the elegant simplicity of the former. It is addressed to the same Sovereign by the wife of the famous Duke of Buckingham, whose " orthograpkv," like Lord Duberley's, was "somewhat loose," and needed, like his, the corrective hints of a Doctor Pangloss _ " May it please your Majestie, " I have receved the two boxes of dr id plums and trap, and the box of riolatt cake and chickens, for all which I meat hum. , bly thank your Majestic. .c I hope my Lord Aunan has Could your Majestic that I did mean to wens Mall very shortly.

ALARMING Fina.--Yestp . day morning, aboul two o'clock, flames were seen to issue from the p re mis e s of Mr. Austin, , a, basket-makir, Situ. ated at the back of . V5l, High Holborn, which, from the inflammable nature of the materials in the place, extended with considerable rapi. dity to the adjoining workshop of Mr. Man. ning, a carpenter, which was soon enveloped in flame. The houses in the vicinity were threat. ened with speedy destruction; for so rapid was the progress of the devouring element, that, in the short space of half an hour, both the build. lugs presented one immense and terrific body of fire. The back of the house of Mr. Wells, a mahogany dressing.case maker, was also on fire ; but the speedy arrival of the firesenglues, and the great exertion of the firemen, prevented its doing much damage. A quantity of furnitnre and wearing apparel, belonging to twit females who were about to take a house, was destroyed on the premises of Mr. Manning, with whom they had deposited them, fur safety. The premises, we believe, were insured, but it is supposed not to the amount of the actual loss. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.
