Theatre.—On Monday evening a great disturbance took place_ in the boxes and - lobby of the Lyceum Theatre. — Mr. Spring, the. box-office-keeper, very properly ,Called in the assistance of two constables. In the confusion, the Police Officers and several of the Ortfes had their clothes torn to rags. At length two of the ringleaders, who had endeavoured to force their way into bo•:•:,es that were engaged, not being . able to accolpOili their ob , i,ect, stood at the doors and prevx.l\tedlother persons froxii, pass- % .- ing. . They were brought to the. Office, and' mi . - derwent an examination before Mr. READ. One of them had lost one side of his, coat, with a pocket containing a pocket-book and. other pro-. perty. their friends attended, 'and stated, that , the prisoners, and three others, had been dining at the Bolt-in-Tun, Fleet-street, and had drank nine bottles of wine, and attributed Aeir violent conduct to inebriation. They were.. ordered,, to find bail for the assault on the .Constables. • On Monday evening an Officer ohserved.th ree boys, in High Holborn, the oldest only 13, years of age, and the youngest 11 years, atteinptirig. to rob several persons : at length he saw one of them take a silk handkerchief from the pocket of a Gene • fluxion, and give it to one of the other boys ; the Officer went to seize him, but he ran off ancl,made his escape : he, however, secured the boy who had got this handkerchief, and the third boy. — They were brought to the Office, and underwent an examination. The Gentleman attended, and was bound over to prosecute; bUt afterwards made a formal application to ,be relieved from his recognizance,. as he was 'under an engagement to go to Carlisle, and if he was detained in London till the Sessions it would be 10001. loss to him. — No relief was afforded to hiM. William Smith,' the owner of the boat No. 2500, was charged by a Gentleman with refusing to take him from Chelsea to 'Wandsworth, although he plied him. He was convicted in the penalty of 20s. and costs. • On Saturday evening, a man, of the name of 877:--, who deals in leeches, sent his wife, from the neighbourhood of the Seven Dials, to.dispose of 'a quantity` to a Doctor's, .at Aldgate. Mrs. B—, on going along Holborn, inquired of a man the way, which she thought very difficult to find the man said he had nothing particular to do' and would skew her the way there and back, and she agreed to -give him 18d.. for his trouble. — Mrs. B— sold her leeches at Aldgate for two pounds. On their return they went to drink to gether. When - they got into the neighbourhood of Covent-garden, they went into a house of a certain description. After some time, the man was leaving the house ;- but, the room not being • paid' for, he was stopped, and it turned out that his fair companion had fallen asleep in his arms, of which.he had taken 'advantage, and had rob bed her of the two pounds' she - had sold the leeches for. lie was charged with the watch, and, on searching him, the•two pounds belonging to the prosecutrix was found. The prisoner, in his defence, said, the prosecutrix wanted - him to go into a house with her sooner than he did. He was committed for farther examination. BOWLER.—This day is appointed for the txa mination•of Bowler, but it is 'uncertain whether such will take, place, .as„ will be seen by the -fol lowing statement :—The offender, it appears, - is sore-footed, -by much walking, and an eminent Surgeon was yeslerday, in to inspect the wound on one foot in particular. Application was made yesterday by the prisoner's . Attorney, to' the Magistrates ; at MarlborOuga -street Police Office, to postpone the examination to' a futnre day, which was resisted by .the Adviser on the part of the prosecution. The Magistrate' before whom Bowler was committed;refused to acce:lc to the request, unless affidavits were adduced on the part of the prisoner,to satisfy him that such postponement was - absolutely necessary, on ac count. of ill health. Last week the sloop Woodside, coal loaded, from the Clyde, bound' fir Belfast' was lost at Red Bay, on the coast of the county of. Antrim, when two of the hands perished, the Master being happily saved: The- sloop had sprung a leak, which, notwithstar_dhig, the exertions of those on lioard, continued to gain Saanuch upon them, that he master determined to run her ahore for the preservation of their lives. On approaching the shore they were hailed l)' a maw on the beach, who by signs directed them to make for an open ing a little to windward ; but, in endeavouring to alter the vessel's - course, she gaVe a lurch. and hn mediately went down. The master got up the rigging, and with a line fastened himself to the top-mast, which remained out of the water : -he -continued in this perilous situation for about two' hours, .when he was relieved by a boat from the shore. SCOTCH . AGRICULTURE. P. PORT For. MID LOTHIAN. The same kind of cold and ungenial weather that prevalied throughout the last montli contiiiued during the first week of the present. Afterwards it. became more, temperate, especially the last ten days, in which the vegetation has been uncom inonly strong and vigorous. The spring corns havegenerilly a promising aspect, although they were so late in being put into the ground.- The frosty nights m4.de the land harrow fine, so that the seed was easily buried under the clod, and an equal braird is every - Where to be seen. The ap. pearance of the young wheats is Very flattering, -as . the plants are thicker, and fewer blanks ou en able than for some seasons gone by, although not .so forward at this . period as in "Ordinery The lateness of the grass caused a Breit "want or oats; potatoes, hay, and straw, and thence has been Muth scarcity of fodder, for cattle of every description, than has beg: known since the' me worable 1799 and 180). • The sudden and veryhighprices to which grain arrived at the end of the last has continued stn.- . tionoy during this month, and, it is hoped, t-.ar, if thiS fine weather continues, with the prospect of an earlier harVest than was once expected, 'it Avili keep prices.froai going higher The farmers that have been benefited by the present nigh price* are very few in number, as the general crop was exhausted-long ago', the markets at present being almost wholly.suppliedfrdm other district-S. ON FOOD.—nli is thought not to be food • sufficient substance and support for the robust male, and har&working classes', It May be so, as a constant or frequent diet; but to children, Women, the valetudinary,' the sedentary, and the aged, it is well suited,_ and equally salutary and agreeable. ' at ancient and authoritative regulation which made the seas and ocean tributary to the Chris tian I. , Qpulation of Europe, , for nearly two-se- ventlis of the' animal food it should consume, was perhaps a well-considered political cornbinaion, still more than a religiOns observance,. suited to secure advantages to both. To it; it is probable , is owing the,discovery of the western half of . the habitable globe : to some catcher •of snrats,• cri fisher for Sardignes, or anchovies, was first sug gestod the hope of a more prolific, tho Ugh distant shoal, which the teeming banks of Newfolluiratad have so c , ; L•,)leiely rewarded. - Whenever the madness of low'and selfish arnbi tion, and the folly of national and inordinate ed pidity, shall•be cured by punishment and sutl - er" ing, or lessened by the light of rea:mon, and the due influence of religion, the numbers of mankind may be expeeted so to increase, that the vast stores of the waters must be brought in aid of the pro ductions of the terraqueous soil, at least EtroPe; let us begin at once to find and i:sethem, Fish Is not a substitute for farinaceous food, but•its 11` tends greatly to lessen the consumption of flc i; . meats which still limit, and compete too fi l '" 'c't,qt.h . the action and productions of the plougi this island.

The labours of this truly patrif - itie and benevo lent Gentleman are indefatigable. , To promote the good of the public, he has sacrificed• ease, worldly.interest, and even the_comforts- of gal life ; and in tf. short time we may expect to see the benefits of principles and improveinents as widely extended over the, natural; as,they have already been over the moral world. All his spe culations are reduced to practice with p. wonder ful facility, and the results of his ,experiments operate on the minds of his countrymen with all the appearance of a miracle. Several years ago he.inventetl a system of EdUcation for the child ren of the labouring poor, by which he could make them religious members of. the corimmnity without teaching, them alzy religion. He ha3 . lately turned his attention to agriculture ; and, by a pa ragraph wich has appeared in some of the public prints, it appears, " that he'has diScovered a me thod which will enable a . person to increAse the crops on his land from the 'proportion of one . twentieth to one-half." " fie are assured," says the writer, " that the principle is a true one, and that it will be made clear by facts equal to ocular demonstr.qion. The Dukes 'of Kent and Sussex, and the Duke of Bedford, and Lord John Somer ville, have engaged to attend a Lecture at Free masons' Tavern, when Mr. L. will explain / the as tonishing principle." From an inquiry into the. nature of the above process, it appears to be part of a plan with which Mr. it is, ;said, ,shortly favour the public. The principle is en tirely neW, and the effect is truly astonishing; for he can direct his efforts in such a way as actu- ally to influence, in the course of a few hours, the state of vegetation. It iswa well known fact, that th"e simplest occurrences have sometimes .generat ed a train of thinking that has, led .to the most important discoveries. It was.the: falling , an apple that suggested to the mind of, Newton the system of gravitation, and from an incident equally simple Mr. 'L. - derived the idea which led to the wonderful discOvery in question. During his late residence in Ireland, he was in the habit of fre quenting a society of men whose minds were in a perpetual state of politicalfermod, which on some occasions was so exceedingly .high that it dis charged itself ina kind of vapour, which sensibly affected the surrounding air. Now, Mr. L: is. possessed of that happy talent, and that philOso phical turn of mind, -which derives improvement from every circumstance that comes under obis ob servation ; and it immediately occurred to him that, - as the fermented spirit of one Man produCed a certain effect, if it could be collected together in a sufficient quantity,' and discharged with aug mented force, it might put the atmosphere, to a Certain distance, in a state of agitation. He there fore applied himself to experiments, 73y which he discovered; that even the portion of the fermented spirit whi , .-.11 he himself possessed, when discharged in the form of a Lecture, diffused a vapour which, incorporated with the external air, immediately created an unusual freshness on . the face of ,the ground where he stood, and that vegetation 'began to spring up around him. His next endeavour was to imbibe as large a quantity of this spirit as. possible, and when he left Ireland, he hiMself supposes,that he might retain about as much of it as ten ordinary Irishmen. Thug prepared, he set off for England for the sole purpose of benefitting, his country by this important discovery ; but dur ing his voyage he felt, as it may be supposed, much inconvenience from the agitation which the • fer mented spirit created, and from the efforts which it made to disdhar., , e itself • so that wheia he • ar rived among his friends in i.ondon, he was so in flated that they could,scarcely recognise him. His eyes Were apparently grown up with fat, and his face and, body were so much increased, that those who are unacquainted with the abstemious habits of his life, and with his contempt for the luxuries of the table, were inclined to ascribe the alteration in his person to unusual indulgence. But he soon convinced them that the matter he possessed lAA been collected for the purpose of doing good to his ccnintrv, and he lately made an experiment on a. piece of ground near Woburn Abbey, in the presence of the-Dukes of Kent and Sussex, and the Duke of Bedford,- and Lord' John Somerville.
