THE THEATRE —The season commenced last night at the ilaymarket Theatre, with the Comedy of The Soldier's Daughter, the Farce of Lovers' Quarrels. and a new piece of two acts called Wet Weather. Mrs. ED WIN performed the Widow Cheerly in the play. Iler voice is, per haps, somewnat too powerful, and her hu moor, perhaps, too broad, for a female, but she is a very spirited and effective Actress, and she made the character very prominent and entertain ing. The new Farce of Wet Weather is prin cipally intended to give scope to the humorous simplicity of Livros: in the part of a clod-pated BarOnet, named Sir Onesiphorus Puddyfut, jealous of Captain Bromley (Justus), who is the favourite with Emily, the heroine of the piece, and the favourite mistress of both. LISTON and JONES were very entertaining, and Miss BEAUMONT ac quitted herself very well in Emily. The farce al together is broad and extravagant, but is render ed so diverting by the Actors, that it was most favourably received by a large audience. COUNT BELESNAY, THE PARRICIDE.—The ex ecution of Count BELFSNAY, for the murder of his father, took place at Pesti), in Hungary, and was at tended by a vast number of spectators. The people furnished themselves with stones, for the purpose of assailing the executioner, if he did not do his bu siness properly. Though in terror, he performed the duty with promptitude and great dexteri ty.—Count Belesnay met his fate with great in difference. He took care to dress himself with elegance, an to place a rose in one of his button holes. This he caused to be presented to a Lady who stood at a window to see him pass. He himself took off his clothes, and distributed them among his attendants. The Count made a will, in which he left legacies to his mother, to his intended wife, and others. lie received the con solations of religion, but with great indifference. (Vienna, July 7.) NEWSPAPFRI. •-•-•• The circulation of English newspapers abroad has been greatly restricted by the heavy expence attending it. We find, how ever, that by an Act of the last Session, news papers, duly stamped, may in future be conveyed to the Cape of Good Hope, Ceylon, the Mauritius, and the East Indies, for one penny each packet, not exceeding one ounce, and one penny per ounce above that weight. DIABOLICAL. ACT.—Precisely at twelve o'clock yesterday at noon, some villain fired a loaded musket into one of the first floor windows of the house of Mrs. Lloyd, a respectable widow Lady. residing in Kirby -street, Hatton-garden , not far from the Police O ff ice, and broke twelve /nips of glass ; fortunately, the family had just retired from the room before the act took place. An im mediate ingnity was made, but to no purpose— the villain escaped undiscovered. STEALING DUAD BODIES.—LAMEKTH-STREET.— The neighbourhood of this office was thrown into the greatest consternation yesterday afternoon, by the appearance of an assemblage of persons to the ilium!t of three thousand, which filled the entire of the street. It was occasioned by the consta bles (who had received private information) ap prehending some resurrection-men in the Com mercial Road, carrying three or four sacks, which, on examination, proved to contain several dead bodies of nun and women, cut up into joints, and closely packed together. The grave-digger, his ton, anti three women, wh:► are implicated in this horrid transaction, were brought up prisoners ►ied together. 'lke constables had the greatest difficuley in saving them from the fury of the en raged multitude. The prisoners were remanded for further examination. William Milner, convicted of perjury, stood in the pillory in the front of Newgatc on Monday, from twelve to one. On ascending his elevated position he laughed and seemed to treat the mat ter lightly ; but on being assailed by the popti lace with a shower of rotten eggs, *Rid other missiles, his countenance speedily underwent woeful metamorphosis. He is a young man of rather genteel appearance, and was attired in a fashionable loose great coat, grey trowsers, &c. G.

The first symptoms of hydrophobia were displayed on Wednesday morn ing early, when his medical attendants were spee dily convinced it was a confirmed case. The quantity of saliva which flowed copiously from him irrigated every thing contiguous; during his inde scribable sufferings, lie retained a perfect presence of mind, till within two bouts of the flame of life being extinct, several times previous to which be harked like a dog. It is sincerely hoped that this additional case will produce some salutary regula tions for diminishing the useless number of the canine species in Sheffield, wl,era they are so re dundant as to have become a very serious ilia sance.—(Slicifield Paper.)

At the Flop Dinner here on Tuesday last, the bets were chiefly laid at from 120 to 140,0001, duty. GENERAL APGREGoR.—The following is an extract of a letter from an Officer on board the French frigate Golo, in the Bay of Bret, datetl June 16:--'' At the time of onr sailing, the state of the force of General INl'Gregor, Porto Bello, was 400 men from England, 300 from Jamaica, some from Porto. Bello, a nd th e speedy union of Aury with four hundred and sixty men was expected, as well as 500 more who had been recruited at Kingston, not - withstanding the scantiness of the means to effect this, and the little disposition of the merchants to en courage them. Thus, although Al•Greeor should subsequently have lost 400 at Porto Bello, there still remained 1260 to continue the war under him, or some more prudent Commander, with out reckoning those on their passage from England and America. In the sante ship with me has come ---, Captain of the frigate Don Torquato Picdrola, with an ex press command to make known to the King the necessity of assistance in order to orpo,: e these projects—a strong proof of the weilkness of the Royalists, and of what M'Gregor might have done with comlllOn produce." The new farce, entitled it Weather, with which the Haymarket Theatre opened jaSI night, was a very seasonable production. Ic ruined in cessantly.

The Bishop ot Calcutta has lately addressed the Society for propagating the Gospel in foreign parts, informing them that the sum of 5,0001. voted by that Society for the promotion of Christianity 'in India, would be applied by his Lordship to wards the erection of a Mission Colic ge in Calcutta. On the receipt of this letter, the Society for promot ing Christian knowledge, in Bartlett's-buildings, immediately voted 5,0001. more towards the intend ed College; and the Church Missionary Society has just made a grant of 5,0001. in addition, for the same object. Thus no less a sum than 15,0001. has been voted by three Societies, in connexion with the Established Church, for the great object of. promoting Christianity throughout British, India. At the York Sessions, Thomas English was sen tenced to be transported f o r seven y ears , f or hav ing, i n conjunction with Henry Fent - by, stolen Sibs. of mouton.
