DaUBY•LANE.--The Comedy of Wild Oats, though it has all the dramatic extravagance of O'KEEFFE, has also its amusing originality, and is so well supported at this Theatre, that it is na tural to expect however frequently it may he represented, that it will retain its attraction. It was last night well attended ; and ELLISTON'S Rover had all the spirit which marked his per formance many years ago. COVENT GARDEN.—Mr. C. KEMBLE last, night resumed his public station in the Play of The Wonder, one of the most diverting of our come dies, and which will always maintain► its rank on the Stage, to the honour of female genius.— The loss which this excellent actor has recently experienced, and which, to the credit of the public is generally regretted, induced the au dience to receive him with a warmth of applause that even exceeded the cordial welcome to which his high professional talents always entitle him. He has the merit of disdaining imitation and acts from his own judgment and feeling. It was hardly to be expected that, under his recent loss, he would be able to play with his usual spirit, but his sense of duty to the pulllic roused him into an exertion which rendered his Don Felix as effective as ever. It was, indeed, an admirable performance throughout, but its excellence is too well known to require particular notice.— Miss CHESTER was occasionally playful, spirited, and tender, in Violante, and may be classed among the best of our Comic Actresses. The Comedy derived also a very respectable support from the rest of the Performers, male and fe male. The house was crowded. ASYLUM FOIL THE DEAF AND DUMB [FURTHER PARTICULARS.] On Sunday last, the cause of this Institution, so important in a national and individual sense, was powerfully 'and impressively pleaded before a crowded and respectable con. gregation, by the Rev. W. Dealtry, Rector of Clapham, in his own Church, in an excellent Discourse, in which he set forth its peculiar claims to public patronage, in a Christian country by adducing facts, of which he, himself, had had ocular and .aurlcular proofs, in a manner that appeared to make a deep im pression do his auditors. A very liberal collection was made at the doors, and a number of persons added their names to the list of supporters of the Asylum, as Life and Annual Sub scribers. Monday was the day appointed by his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester to take the Chair at the Anniversary Din ner. The Meeting accordingly took place at the City of Lon. don Tavern, but we regret, in common with every , friend of the Institution,.that severe indisposition prevented his being pre.. sent. As soon as the fact was announced by Sir C. S. Hunter, who was invited to take the Chair in the absence of his Royal Highness, the company seemed to feel as one man, that af fectionate sympathy, which the long and condescending patron.. age his Royal Highness, has bestowed upon the Charity so well entitled him to receive. We observed as supporters of the Chair the benevolent Frederick Webb, Esq., Sir F. N. Om maney, M.P., &c. &c. The usual loyal and constitutional toasts were received as enlightened Englishmen are wont. Aft er en thusiastic expressions of est eem for the characters of the Patron and Patroness (the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester), on their healths being drank, the Secretary read a letter from Colonel Dalton, written by command of his Royal Highness, of which the following is an extract :—" As it is absolutely impossible for his Royal Highness to quit his room, I am further instructed to desire you to request the Gentleman who may occupy the Chair to explain to the company the imperious cause of his absence, whichis the first time since he has had the pleasure of being Patron to the Asylum, and also to say how much he laments that he is unable to attend to give his support to this most excellent Charity, for which he offers his best wishes." Inclosed was a donation of Twenty Guineas from the Duke and the like sum f rom t h e D uc h ess (b e i ng t h e 1 7t h donation from the former, and 7th from the latter.) The ge nerous example of the Patron and Patroness was not lost on the company, for we had the pleasure of hearing several reports of liberal contributions read, before we left the room (about ten o'clock),and the Chairman was still presiding over an assemblage, not so numerous as we have witnessed, but most harmonious and zealous in the cause of humanity, all equally delighted with the intellectual treat they had received from witnessing the progress made by the objects of their bounty, in advancement from mute ignorance and seclusion to mental and social ca pacity, of which they had that day the most satisfactory and convincing specimens that the most sceptical could require. This high gratification, when contrasted with th e me l anc h o l y fact, that flourishing as this Institution is,it still wants the means of receiving into its bosom more than about a (*earth of the Can didates anxiously presented for admission, at the half yearly elections, only rendered the deficiency more deeply lamented. The Treasurer stated the number now under tuition to be up wards of 200, and the anxious desire of the Committee to ex. tend still further the blessings of this peculiarly beneficial educa tion. " They hope," said he, " for the continued and extended support of the public," and surely every one present at this meeting must have felt that they ought not to be disappointed. Such must be The feelingsiof all, who inform themselves on the subject, by visiting the Asylum or reading its reports. Count Lieven, notwithstanding the alterations and repairs his Excellency has been carrying on at Ashburnham House, is not likely at present to occupy that noble mansion, owing to a demur in the title-deeds on the part of Mr. Bally, who purchased the house as freehold property from the Earl of Ashburnham, and let it to his Excellency for the term of eight years. It has been latterly discovered by Mr. Bally that the library and dressing-room of his Lordship, adjoining, in the rear of the house, on the entrance-floor, stands upon the ground of the Earl of Berkeley, which has . never been purchased by the Ashburnham family ; in consequence of which, Mr. Daily has declined the contract. On Friday last the Earl of Ash burnham arrived in town, and had a long interview with Count ,Lieven. CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 9. ►e have but a moderate supply of all sorts of Grain this morning►.

Mrs. HUGHES BALL, we understand, is not the daughter of Lord FIFE. She is the legitimate daughter of a Spanish Gen tleman of good family. When his Lordship first became ac quainted with the mother, then a widow, Mrs. Ball was already five years old. It seems ho gave a pledge to the mother that he would take charge of the education of young 31ercandotti, and he is understood to have expended nearly WOOL a year on her education. The celebrated dancer, ISLARIA MERCANDOTTI, whose elopement continues to be the subject of the conversation in the whole City of London, could not find, except at Aberdeen, in Scotland, any man who would consent to •marry her to the millionaire Mr. Ball, called the Golden Ball. The happy couple immediately took the road to Leith, to return to London. --(Journal des Debate ) The Chevalier de COUaTON, having to pass one of the swollen Swiss rivers when it was agi tated, hesitated to enter the ferry-boat; but, being at length persuaded to embark, he endea voured to encourage himself by conversing with the boatman. " My friend," said he, " have you not sometimes the misfortune to lose the persons you carry ? "—" Oh ! never, Sir," said the boatman, " for my poor wife was drowned last week, and we found her the very next day!" SIR CHARLES BAMFYLDE. The whole of yesterday morning -Montague square was crowded to excess, in consequence of the desperate attempt made on the life of Sir CHARLES BAMFTLDE, as stated in our Paper of yesterday. The circumstances that urged the assassin to the perpetration of so execrable a deed are truly lamentable, and touch the feelings more poignantly, when jealousy is the instrument that urges the dreadful attempt. It appears the unfortunate man's wife has, for near nine years, been the housekeeper of Sir Charles, who probably has noticed her as superior in her line of life. Joseph Mtniand, her husband, entertaining a bosom for jealousy, frequently suffered it to gain an ascendancy over propriety, and would call at Sir Charles Bamfylde's house in a passionate strain, and create a quarrel, and insinuate what probably might not have been the case,—he has lived in a number of places as footman, none of which he kept long, and, when out of a situation, became de- Pendent on his wife for . support. Sir Charles at length settled him in . a public-house in Scotland, where he might have done well, bet, from circumstances, became unfortunate ; having failed, he came to London. His finances gradually growing worse, and his apparel becoming shabby, he again entreated Sir-Charles to do something for him, to which he acceded, and repOrt says, was about to make an annual settlement upon hint , when his wife broached circumstances to prevent it. Meat, drink, and a bed, were always at command for him at Sir Charles's ; till lately he became so restive, that different mea sures were adopted, and it is not long since he was taken to a police-office, and held to bail for an offence which he committed in Sir Charles's house. At half-past tour o'clock on Monday , Sir Charles was walking in Montague-street, taking the air before dinner, and when opposite No. 10, he was accosted by the deceased, Mortara ; and, we,understand, importunately, to know whether he would prosecute him or not, as the trial stood for the present Middlesex Sessions. Sir Charles told him yes, and desired him to be gone; when he drew from his pocket a pistol, and lodged the ball in Sir Charles's right side: within half a minute he drew another from his pocket, put the muzzle to his teeth, and lodged the contents in his head, which caused him to drop instantly. Sir Charles's servants being alarmed by the reports so closely succeeding each other, ran to the spot, an 4 assisted their falling master home. The pugilistic Tom Jones and another were passing at the time, and conveyed /Mr/and to the Worcester Arms adjoining, where they instantly procured medical assistance. Morland was laid on the table ; the surgeon came and examined his head, the ball had not passed through—the whole contents had lodged in his head ; nor could a wound be perceived, until the surgeon told them to hold up his head, and then the blood burst forth from every passage to the head, and liforland drew one heavy sigh ana expired. The inquiries after Sir Charles yesterday were an swered by the following bulletin : " Sir Charles Bamfyltle has been wounded on the right side of the chest, near the spine, by a pistol ball, which is lodged there. The wound is not yet attended with any unfavourable symptoms, but is still one of a very dangerous tendency. (Signed) " J. HEAVISIDE. " G. J. GUTHRIE. " J. MACGREGOR." Although the ball was not extracted yesterday evening, we have the pleasure to state that the worthy Baronet was free from pain during the day, when kept quiet. He slept live hours during the night; but this might arise from exhaustion, as he had been copiously bled, twice. Morland, it appears, had been waiting three or four days for an opportunity to commit the fatal act; he is about 33 years of age, of dark complexion, rather a small guttural man. Sir Charles Hamfylde is 71 years of age, and we understand from his servants, that Mrs. Morland left near two months ago.— The accuracy of this we cannot account for. CORONER'S INQUEST. - - INQUEST ON JOSEPH WORLAND, WHO ATTEMPTED TO ASSASSINATE SIR CHARLES RAMFYLDE. Yesterday evening an Inquest was taken at the Worcester Arms public-house, George -street, Manchester-square before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq., Coroner, on th e b o d y of 'Joseph Alorland, the indiyidtal, who attempted - -the assassination of Sir Charles Ilatufylde, and who was the instrument of his own death. Lucy Stockes deposed, that her husband had been servant to Sir Charles Bamfylde, and she had been in the habit of working as charwoman in Sir Charles's house ; she was in the habit of selling apples, &c. at the corn er o f t h e square; about half-past four on Monday afternoon, she heard t h e re p ort of a pistol, and some person exclaimed " Oh !" she then almost immediately heard the report of a second pistol : saw Sir C. moving quickly towards his own house; beard him exclaim -"That d--d rascal has shot me." The wife of the deceased was the housekeeper to Sir Charles Bamfylde. Witness had frequently seen decased inquiring for Sir Charles during three weeks past; never heard him make other inquiries • knows that Sir Charles had caused the deceased to be taken before a Magistrate some time since, on account of some outrage on the footman. Mr:Armstrong, surgeon, was sent for to deceased, and found him lying on the table in the tap-room ; he was quite dead ; there was no pulsation; he had been shot through the roof of the mouth ; the ball had entered the brain. NVlttiess was con vinced from the magnitude of the wound, that deceased shot himself, and that the mouth of the pistol must have been very close to the wound. The ball lodged in the brain. Had seen nothing of Sir Charles Bamfylde. Merely attended for the de ceased ; never saw him before. William Bayles, was an errand boy, living with Mr. Butter, No. 36, Wigmore-street ; at h a ., ie —-past four, was passing down Montague-street, and saw Sir Charles Bamfylde and another man with their backs towards him, walking on the other side of the way ; there was a butter-man also walking in the same line, but behind them. Sir . Charles was walking from de ceased ; heard the reports of two pistols ; saw deceased fire the second pistol ; his arm was lifted-, and directed towards his face. The deceased staggered, and fell on the curb-stone.— Witness crossed over, when the smoke had dissipated, the but terman took up the pistol and left it at No. t#, or 10, in Mon tague-street; saw the pistol fall from the deceased's hand a plumber picked up the other pistol ; when he heard the first report lie immediately looked round, and saw Sir Charles put his hand on hi s back rather towards the side, and walk on. A man of the name of Jones was the first who touched deceased, but he could not stop to assist. Witness saw deceased taken up; he was quite insensible; never saw him before. By a Juryman.—llid he run away after firing the first pistol ? No. He stood with his back to the coach-way, and fell on the curb-stone. _ _ _ ---- Jolin - hOngliurst, residing at No. 5, New Quebec-street, de posed to the same effect. Robert Ennever picked up the pistol, which was identified. Mr. Richard Watchome, of George-street, examined.—The deceased had lodged in his house. During his observation of the deceased for six weeks, he always conducted himself in a very proper manner. The last time witness saw him was yes terday morning at the Westmoreland Arms in George-street, when a man wrote a letter from deceased's dictation ; did not know who that man was. On leaving the Westmoreland Arms he wished him good morning ; there was nothing singular in his conduct at that time; never saw him alive afterwards. Mr. Robert Farnell. accountant-11as known deceased about two months ; he came to witness in consequence of an indict tnent , for an assault pending at these Sessions; he was recom mended by a friend; he asked witness what steps he should take, and was properly instructed by witness. He has seen him often during the interval ; about three weeks since the deceased re quired witness to write a letter for him to hisiwife ; he complain ed to witness that people in Sir Charles's house would not allow him to see her. (The letter, alluded to held out entreaties to wife to intercede with Sir Charles, and persuade him to drop the prosecu t i on ; an d w i s h e d h er at all events to sign a mutual deed of separation ; and stated his desire to procure from her a sum of money to rescue him from the embarras. ments he laboured under.) Witness told him he must get its. (hi., and entered the cause at Clerkenwell. On Sunday last, at Westmpreland-street, witness saw deceased ; he said he had entered the cause for trial, and paid 12s. ad.; he then said he should subpwna Sir Chas. Bamfylde for the trial. This witness, in continuation of his examination, stated, that he un derstood from the deceased that he was convinced a criminal connexion had been carried on for some years between Sir Charles and his wife. He appeared to be in a low desponding way, and observed he had procured a situation • but if the in dictment went again s t hi m , he would be ruined% he informed witness he had called on Sir Charles, who had refused to see him ; and he left witness, saying he was going to procure money for a subpoena and counsel ; he appeared very wild in his look; he ma d e an appo i n t m e nt. with witness for three o'clock, but witness never saw hint. The CORONER, from all he had heard,, was convinced the deceased was quite sane when he committed the act; and the Jury, bring of the same opinion, found a verdicts--polo de sc. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

" How glows the joyous parent to descry " A guileless bosom, true to sympathy !" Pkasurer of Hope. 'Tit sweet, when zephyr's balmy breath Around its fragrance throws, And vegetation wakes from death, To mark the opening rose— To see kind nature's skilful hand Distain its crimson vest, And slowly to the view expand The Queen of flowers contest. (E'en Bards of deathless name have hied With morn to Flora's bower, ' And inark'd with joy thy vernal pride, And sung thee, blushing flower.) But sweeter far, maternal care, With thy fond eye to trace A father's image blooming fair In infant's lovely face— To watch the dawn of reason's power Rise slowly into day ; And tender genius every hour Shed forth a brighter ray. - 'Tis to a parent joy refin'd, To mark some virtue more— Some grace of form, of mien, or mind, Unseen, unknown before. And who that cherub front can view, That laughter-loving mien ; 'Mien reigns young health of rosy hue, • And innocence serene, Nor sighs to think that aught so fair From joys like these must sever, And find that with our mirth some care, Some sorrows mingles ever ? If such there be, without the sign Of feelings soft controul ; Ile shall not be a friend of mine, lie shall not share my soul. J. R. LORI) NEWBOROUGH'S COMING OF AGE. DE ifilm it, A PRIL 3.—The approach of this auspicious event was naturally anticipated with great anxiety by his Lordship's numerous tenantry, as well in this country as in the neigh. bouring county of Carnarvon, where he stands foremost upon the list of landed proprietors. A long minority tsixteen or seventeen years, we believe) had made them almost unacquaint ed with those numberless ties of reciprocal affection and regard which of right belong to, and associate themselves with, the connection between landlord and tenant; and although the latter had no reason to complain of the conduct of the guar dians and trustees of his Lordship's extensive possessions, yet they consistently aspired to a closer alliance with their natural protector, and looked to this event as consecrating a kind of compact between them, having for its basis, upon his part, an unbounded desire to promote their prosperity, by every means which liberality and kindness could dictate ; id upon theirs, an ardent disposition to evince their gratitude, by such de. monstrations of respect and devotion, as might best requite the legitimate guardian of their civil rights and the probable conservator (speakin g of the latter county) of their political ptivileges.—We rejoice, therefore, in common with so flume. rous and valuable a portion of the community, that every anti cipation which they could have formed of their young land.. lord's generous anti noble spirit, has been amply confirmed ; and coinbining this happy commencement of their intercourse, with the reported merits of his Lordship's character in other respects, they have every right to cherish the most confident hopes of future prosperity and happiness, under the benevo. lent protection of his house. We have reason to know, that the preparations made in the different parts of Carnarvon, to which bis Lordship's immense property extends, for celebrating this happy event, were on a scale correspond. ing in all respects with the interests, which it was so deeply calculated to excite, and we fancy, that they will be found to have equalled, if not exceeded, in abundance and festi. vity, any former one of a similar kind, which the Principality has ever witnessed ; we confine ourselves, however, necessarily, 'to this neighbourhood, where, comparatively, his Lordship's property is of trifling extent. On the morning of Thursday, the 3d inst. the bells first announced the happy event which the subsequent part of the day was to celebrate, and as the dinner hour approached, the tenantry of his Lordship began to collect at the .Back-row Inn, kept by Mr. Evans, where ample prepara tion had been made for their reception ; at the hour of three o'clock the whole had assembled, and sat down to a most abund ant and excellent dinner, provided at his Lordship's expence; an overflow of the native beverage, creme, in the highest per fection, followed in succession ; nothing, in fact, was omitted, which could impart comfbrt in abundance,--and nothing, con sequently, could exceed the joy and happiness which for the whole evening appeared to pervade this festive picture of sub. stantial enjoyment. In token of personal respect for his Lord ship's character, and the dignified station in life which he was now so well qualified to fill, many of the respectable gentle men of the town repaired to this h a ppy scene o f festivity during the evening, and aleo partook of drinking the health of the young nobleman,_ of the: beverage of their nat i ve country ; among these we remark—the Rector of Denbigh, the Vicar of Llanrhaitir, J. Hughes, Es q. Alderman of the Borough ; Edward Jones, H. 1 1 . (lough, Richard Lloyd Williams, Hugh Lloyd, and Thos. Lodge Emirs, &c. &c. ; a nd amongst t h ose w h o distin guished themselves most, in promoting the festivity of this happy occasion, was the Rev. Mr. Williams, Vicar of Llanrhazdre, who embraced this opportunity of difibsing:delight and happiness among the younger orders in his own neighbour hood, by providing an excellent dinner for the boys of the village school, and thus adding another prpof of th e anx i et y which he always manifests to render hirnselfpopular andrespect ed.

This battle, for 100 sovereigns aside, was fought yesterday on Harpenden Heath, four miles from St. Albans, a Harts', 2 and 5 from London. The group o n t h e roa d to action formed miscel lany very rarely observed, even at a popular Middlesex Election. Every , one had his hobby if not a brown in the cly, and &ince, felt their honor as much at stake as what they termed Grecians. Be lasco's friends and supporters backed him at bto 4. Richmond and Ben Burn seconded Belasco, and Josh. Hudson and Ran dall officiated for Halton. On Belasco throwing his castor into the ring it blew out again, and the Shiners thought it a bad omen. A few minutes elapsed before both shook hands.— Halton seemed to want confidence. Round 1. Belasco, after about three minutes' sparring, placed his hits left and right upon the held, and Halton hit short ; in a close Belasco fell, and Halton (although in the heat of action) hit his adversary when supposed down. Cries of " foul" and " fair," and a general row. The Umpire decided fair. 2. Belasco much outfought his adversary, bled him at the mouth, and threw him. 6 an d 7 t0 4 on Belasco. 3. Halton went in bent upon mischief, and Belasco waited upon him as a hawk would a tone-tit bird. Halton threw away his blows, became intemperate at receiving, and wits ?lobbed away and worsted at the weaving system ; he bled at the ear. . 4. In a close, Belasco gat his head under his adversary's arm, and fiddled away upon the weavi ng system until the Claret flew in streams, and Halton's chance was rather more than precarious ; 2 to I was u p on t h e foundering system. b. Balton shewed much anxiety and determination to get in, but he was so out fought by his adversary meeting him, and then breaking ground, that good judges tho ug h t , unless t;te out, it was Hertfordshire to one of its mill -streams. 6. A game round and much fighting; Halton had none of the worst of it; he hit his adversary's head with the right hand, but th e bl ow h av i ng b een received upon the retreat, did but little execution on the back of the lug. 7. Both were upon the piping system, and but little work done. The men were like carpenters upon in-door work on a winter's day. B. Belasco placed a heavy body blow upon his adversary, and Halton's hits were avoided by superior science. : • Until the 13th Mum! Belasco l e d, an d t h en won it without dropping blood: Halton often got wild, and received blows in the head and body which groggilled him. He was hit clown upon the weaving game in the Bth round, and in the 10th lid' floored his adversary. In the 13th round Belasco repeated heavy punishment, and the ring became clamorous. It wm, said that Belasco fell upon his adversary, anti " foul and fair" was most lustily sung out, but the umpire said " fair," won it, and proclaimed Belasco the winner. SECOND FIGHT. Some infatuated of the lower order of the sister kingdom pit into the ring, thinking their countryman had not been kindly treated. They were bludg eon armed. Some co untr y men got into the ring, mistaking t hem for some prigs, and were al'o armed la Inane. Some Jews, more handy with their mazekis, took the part of Belasco, and a regular mill of a quarter of an hour's duration took place, when claret flew most abundantly, until all were worsted—the conveyancers interfered, and had the hest of the row ; they pocketed all affronts. BRIGHTON, APRIL 7. DEATII BY BOXING.--A Coroner's laqUeSt was held at the Lord Nelson public.hous e , i n Great Russell -street, this morn ing, on view of the body of poor Smith, who had met with his death in a pugilistic contest with Dan, or rather Daniel Watts, before mentioned, on the race-down, on Friday. Several wit - rinses were examined, anti the result of the examination was a finding of " Manslaughter" against Daniel Watts, who in consequence will be committed to the jail at Lewes, to take his trial upon the verdict, as soon as he is in a condition to be removed. At present he is confined to his bed, but the sur geons have pronounced him out of danger. A person, a fly-carriage driver, who had proceeded with a fare, consisting of four Gentlemen, to the fight on Friday, tin.. derwent an examination at the Bench this morning. The " bead and front of his offending" was as above noticed. That he had witnessed the battle he did not attempt to deny, but busi ness, and business only, he said, had induced it. He was held in a recognizance of 201. to keep the peace for one year, notwith standing, with two sureties in 101. each, and to remain in cus tody until such securities are found. Other persons are ex pected to be brought up, and the Magistrates are resolved to favour none. Neither Spring nor Shelton have yet found bail. They are allowed at present exercise in the open air, but never without the Headboroughs at their' elbows, who, of course, must be paid for their extra duty and waste of time.
