JAN. 4. —Tuesday night, between eight and nine o'clock, the dwelling house of Mr. Vcnables, pawnbroker, Usher's Island, was forcibly broken into, and property taken thereout ft) the amount of zoool.

THE THEATRE.—The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was represented last night at CoventsGar. den Theatres—CHAßLES KerstuLa displayed great spirit, feeling, and judgment in the part of Romeo. In many of the passages' his offing was marked by impressive energy, .and the whole performance was highly to his credit.--Miss MARRIOTT took the charafter of jaitt instead of Mrs. H. SIDDONS, who is indisposed. Miss MARRIOTT generally discovers good sense and proper emotion, but she was more than commonly effedive last night. The lilercutio of LEWIS is one of the most playful and animated effort* of that sprightly After. The whole of the Play, indeed,, was supported in such a man. ner as to give force, variety, and pathos to the general effefis A ludicrous circumstance happened last night at Drury.lane Theatre. When the supposed dead body of Rolla was brought in on a bier, in the last scene of Pizarro, the bier broke, and Pore, the representative of Rolla, again measured his length upon the stage. In consequence of this accident, the.dead boa) showed signs of life too evident to be mistaken, as. it crept off the stage upon its hand:. and knee:, POPE, however, aftetwa,ds resumed his situation upon the bier, and the solemn dirge, which had been thus interrupted, was concluded. We are happy to add that POPE received no injury from the accident. Liverpool was on Wednesday last highly gratified by a Masquerade given at Plumb's Flail, by HENRY Rua ERTS, Esq. The entertainment . was distinguish eelby elegant and abundant hospitality, and there was a variety of Masques, which were Supported w i t h strong hu mo ur and charader. , The utmost festivity marked the whole of the meeting, except that it was fur a moment disturbed by a set of Masquers who appeared as a Press G ang , but who only carried those they laid hold of to Pert. A Naval Officer has submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty a species of bar.shor, intended to he used only for the first broadside ; it is admirably calculated to destroy the masts, yards, and rigging; but if used against- ships laying in harbour tir road. stead, the guns may be re.loaded as often as Occasion requires. _ _ 'The Pickle Schooner arrived at Plymouth on Sa. turday « ith Dispatches from Admiral Coc RRANE, off Ferrol ; she was sent otic express, 'and made the passage in filty.eight hours. .The Spaniards, it appears, endeavoured to make - Prisoners of the Admiral, his Officers, and the Boat's Crew. The Commander of British Squadron effedied' his escape in a shorc.boat, and reached his ship, which lay in Batareaux . - Bay,. in safety : the Crew were taken and put into confinement. This attempt was made previous to its being 'generally known that War had been declared by the Spanish Government; and, •it is supposed, it was principally done at the instigation of the Commander of the French Squa. drop in that Harbour. The Diredors of the East India Company have purchased Herd* Castle, to be converted 'into a College for the EduCation of the Children of the Civil Servants of the Company, Last week the daughter of a Gentleman of large landed properly, near Canterbury, eloped with an Officer or Dragoons quartered in that 'Distritt.

The Birthday of his Grace the Duke of Rut. LAND was celebrated at Belvoir Castle, on the 4th inst. when his Grace completed his 27th year. The morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells, and a display of colours from the tower. His Grace's tenantry were drawn up in front of the Castle, and fired several vollies in - honour of the day, which were answered by fifteen vollies from the principal tower, by his Grace's domestics. The echo, from the numerous plantations in the neighbourhood of the castle, had a most delightful efr7tt. The Vo. lunteers then complimented his Grace with three times three cheers. A hogshead of ale was on the ground, and the day was spent amidst that ta. tional festivity which good cheer and good nature can never fail to inspire. The company retired at an early hour. IVlr.

I%7Cotwithstanding 'the unfavimable state of the weather, yesterday Morning an unusual number of the amateurs of 'boxing 'flocked doWrr to Wood. Green, about two miles North of Hi,gligate, to witness a pitched battle bet Ween the well-known George Maddox, who is airti , :nt in his sotli year, and a young man of the name of Cribb; about ix, who never before entered the lists. He is .eniployed at Wapping as a Coal-heaver, and is well known among the fraternity by the name of " The Black Diamond." The Second to the old man was Tom . 7orier; and the Black Diamond was seconded by Black Sam. They entered the ring about t i o'clock, and en stripping, appearances were much in favour of the youth : he is a well-made man, stands about five feet ten inches, and shews a great deal of bane: Maddox is two inches shorter. The first round consisted more of sparring than fighting : the Diamond struck first—bat no damage was done on either side. The fourth round was well contested, in Which Maddox had cotisiderably . the advantage, and finished it with closing his antagonist's right eye. aids in favour of the old man, two to one. From this to the thirtieth round, nothing of con sequence happened— , each fought as hard as he could, and endeavoured to outdo his antagonist by standing hest up—but when this period arrived, the old man finding that his antagonist was a bottomed man, and not to be beat by chance or fatigue, used every ef fort to deprive hinkof hiS other eye, which he se verely hurt in the forrivh round, at which time they had exactly fought one hour. Four to one against Maddox. From the fortieth to the fifty-second round there was nothing but hard fighting, and the odds changed but little until the fifty-third, when Maddox hit Cribb a severe blow a lute below his left eye, whiCh nearly deprived him of his sight altogether. They had now, one hour and a half of severe fighting.— The battle continued, and every round until the sixtieth Maddox continued to lose ground, when some of his colleagues knocked up another fight at one side of the ring, and his Seconds led him off, declaring it to be a drawn battle. Cribb's Seconds demanded the purse; which being refused, a general engagement instantly ensued ; in which Caleb Bald win, Tom Jones, Black Sam, Dutch Sam, mil se. veral others took a very aetive share, and in which some one treacherously cut Cribb on the head • with a stick. Order being again restored, Cribb demanded either his prize, or that his antagonist should again come ro the combat. This being so fair a proposal, it baffled the' ingenuity of the friends of Maddox, and rather than lose their money, the old man again came from a hackney.coach, when the battle was renewed, and lasted sixteen rounds more, making in all 76, which were fought in two hours and 1 2 minutes. The last sixteen rounds Maddox fought hard; and about the fourth, some slight hopes were enter. tained of his winning ; but the strength and vigour of youth prevailed. The• purse was made up by some Gentlemen amateurs, twenty guineas for the winner and five for the loser. Cribb having only just entered the list, has yet but few friends in it ; in consequence of which he experienced much unfair play. He is an excellent spatter, but tights rather round, CORQNER'S INQUesr.-7—Yesterday an Jnnuisition was taken before G. ,Hoc•Osorr, Esq. COroner for Middlesex, at the house of Mr. Weir, the Rising Sun, Charlton.atreet, Summers ToWn, on the body of James Hayes, who expired suddenly while lint. ding off wine at his master's house in that street. Rebecca Edwards, who resides with her uncle, Mr. William Tomkintion, Carpenter, No. 3., Charlton. street, stated,/ that she was assisting the - deceased in bottling ()CI pipe of wine on Saturday afternoon. The deceased having bottled off fourteen bottles, was on a sudden taken very ill, and desired this Deponent to open the door and windows of ,the kitchen. She did so; 'but the deceased not finding relief, he went into the yard and- lea n ed against a post while thoDeponerit procured a chair, which he fell into. He complained of a violent pain in his stomach, and said he was a dead man ; which was realiZed in less than five minutes after. •William Smith, who resides next door to Mr. Tomlinson, heard the deceased groan bitterly, and he requested that he might be conveyed to a place to die. • Mr. Wilcock, another neighbour, procured' some brandy, which the deceased refused, when he was conveyed to Mr. Smith's parlour, where, he expired. Mr. Mitchell, a Surgeon, residing in Charlton.qreet, did notice the body until ,it- was dead. Under these circumstances he ssould nor say whether the effluvia horn the wine had occasioned his death. The deceased had been ill for some time, and the effluvia, in that case, might have more. readily ope. rated . on the lungs. Verdict--Died by the visita. tio4 of God.—The deceased had been fur sums years foreman to Mr. Tomlinson; and he has left a widow with a burthensome family to lament his loss. Do EL.=--On Friday last a Meeting took place. near Plymouth, between Captain G— and Lieu. tenant both of the Royal Navy, when, af. ter exchanging shots, happily without effza, the Seconds interfered and amicably adjusted the dis. pute. The following is said to have been the cause of the duel t• 'Lieut. R. had dreamt, three successive nights, that a certain nuatber would be a Vrize of Twenty.five Thousand Pounds in the ensuing Lot. terY, which he mentioned. to Captain G. hut never intimated any intention of having that ticket ; lie however wrote..up to his Agent in London to pro. cure it, who found the Captain was before.hand with him, as he had get it the day before, and refused to give it up. By the intercession of the Seconds, it is settled that they are each to have half the ticket, and as they are both very meritorious Officers,. we sincerely wish they may have one of the numerous Capital Prizes with which the Scheme abounds.
