THE VESTRIS.—These celebrated artistes, esteem ed the first in Europe, make their first appearance is this city, at the Tremont theatre, this evening. The manager of the Bowery th ea t re , N ew Y or k, engaged these admirable dancers at a salary of 15,000 dol lars-per annum. • MADAME FERON.—This celebrated vocalist made her first appearance on the American boards at the Park theatre, New York, on Thursday evening last. The prices of admission to the house were raised on that occasion, and during her short engagement. Madam'e Feron is an English lady, whose powers have been so highly appreciated in Europe, that, at the. Neapolitan Opera, she sustained the principal characters. • We are informed_that she is expected in Boston early this week. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-At Paris, the Right Hon. the Lord Viscount Peroeval, only son of the Furl of Egmont, to Louise Marie, youngest daughter of Ilse Count D'Orselet. Taking into the account the hulks and the different prisons in and about the metropolis there are cal culated to he very little short of an average of 100 thieves Per day let loose to return to their former occupations. There was an awkward bustle - about a certain Private door in St. James's-street, a few evenings since, which gave rise to various surmises. The opponents of the Marylebone Vestry have given public notice of their intention to renew their application to Parliament in the ensuing Session. John Drew, of Chippenham, labourer, has again been committed to the Old Bridewell t Devizes, for *ant of sureties to keep the peace towards his mother This is the aline fellow who was tried at the last Warmin ster Sessions for breaking his mother's arm with a poker, and acquitted, not for want of evidence, but because the Jury wisely thought the mother summut in the wrong too. 'Devizes Gazette. • It is .1)ot only the sheep that are generally eoed throughout the country, but hares also are found to be no less seriously affected with the same disorder. The vreakly state in which they are consequently found, pre vents the sportsman finding much amusement in their pur- Nt.—Berks Chronicle. The crime of sheep-stealing is dreadfully pre valent in this neighbourhood. A few days since Mr. Puller, of Loddon Bridge Farm, lost a fat wether ; he has belred a reward of ten pounds for the detection of the Plunderers. We learn, from good authority, that almost tpery farmer, in a very large circuit in that neighbourhood, has each of them lately lost a sheep.—Berks Chronicle. On Saturday last a hare, that had been hard Put -to, made her appearance on the streets of Carluke.— lier novel and interesting figure soon attracted the atten tion of all who were within view. In a few minutes a band cf boys were in full cry after her, when she popped into a cloth shop. A man who was selling tea-trays in the street lan and applied a large tea-tray to the door, and guarded her in. Her pursuers, knowing that she was in durance *lie, pushed in after her. She made her way through a long passage back from the shop into the kitchen, and. was there taken by her pursuers, to the great terror of the t bistretis of the house.— Glasgow Chronicle. PRIMITIVE METHODIST PREACHER.—A Panti ng preacher at Bolton-le-Moors lately addressed his kuditors in this highly figurative strain :—"Ah ! I dare say You'd all pay to see a boxing-match between Randall and Martin, yet you don't like to pay to see a boxing-match between me and Beelzebub. Oh ! my friends, many a hard knock, and many a cross-buttock have I given the black bruiser for your sakes I Pull, do pull off these gay titrinents of Mammon; strike the Devil a strait blow, and darken his spiritual day-lights.

THE CARRYING TRADE.—The fear that the British ships might obtain an advantage in transport,- 'lg our produce to Great Britain by performing the " cir- Nitons voyage," in other words, by touching at a colonial Aurt, without unloading, thus entitling themselves to enter thei r cargoes in Great Britain at a less duty than is enacted i t)1 1 like cargoes in ships directly from the United States, is ,laid to be effectually put t o res t b y t h e B r i t i s h G overnmen t baying issued orders to their officers in the Colonies to re- Ittire all such cargo e s to be landed.

It is stated that :: 1 15 " circuitous voyage" has in no instance been attempted 1 ° ) British ream's. —Boston Peper, Nov. 29. It is worthy of remark, that a shoal offish paid I visit to the river Tweed, of a species unknown in our !Pet of the country. A number of them were taken by 4 ls. J o h n Foster, Twetdbank, Coldstream. one of the oldest g ad most experienced anglers in this district. Within the r ange of 60 vcars he recollects no circumstance of a sitr.:lar Mature. They were supposed to be of the boding or 'Parling kind, common in the north country rivers, and l 'aerobling the silver-white, met with in the Tweed at this ascin of the year. The points of difference were more 4, ark e d in the formation of the fins and tail than in any e ther part. The largest taken by Mr. Foster did not ex 4ed a pound weight. They rose readily at the fly, hut worm. When split, they were of a deep pink Attie, and were equal in delicacy to the whiffing in its to be found i n th e neigh flit [lesson..

I (From the Dublin Frepnwn's Jonrn,7l of Th urs d ay .) Rumour would have it that Lord Anglesea has ' • decided upon returning to his Majesty that Com mission which he brought with him inio this coun try, and that Lord Melville is the individual to whom it will be, in all likelihood, transferred. What are we to gather from this ? . Lord Anglesea does not resign from ill health, for his constitutional malady has abated considerably since he came to reside in Ireland. lie is not thwarted into disgust and resig nation by newspaper abuse; because there has not been, in the memory of the existing generation, a Viceroy of whom the Press, generally, could be more laudatory. The people of Ireland have poured forth no dark execration upon his name. On the contrary they remunerated, and even still continue to remunerate, his kindness and paternity of demea nour towards them, with all the credulous and cha racteristic gratitude that belongs to the Irish nation. No political obituary appears in the gazettes which it could be presumed Lord Anglesea might be requested to supply. Neither c an it ' bein ferred that, like Gerald in the new novel of the Anglo-Irish, the Noble Lord has taken up certain irreclaimable notions bf antipathy which forbid his continuing to be the keystone of all that remains of the arch of Irish society. The Brunswick Clubs indiscriminate though their principle be, to vilify every individual, no matter what his station is, have attested their indulgence of one single and solitary scruple—their non-slavering the head of the Irish Government. In. the Association, when documents condemnatory of. the Monaghan magistrates were produced, and when the evidence of those docu ments had nearly made up the minds of all as to the folly of placing any further faith in the domestic Government, the great leader himself vindicated Lord Anglesea with a zeal, which called forth the re proof that he held a brief for the Castle. His Ex lency has no bigot and blockhead underling in the shape of a Secretary of State, to play the despot upon his authority and good intentions.-- What then, we repeat the question, are we to gather from the fact of his rumoured resignation ? What if it be not a misunderstanding with the Cabinet, upon the great question, and an impatience of no minal instead of real and overt power, as the Viceroy of Ireland. This, if there be truth in.the rumour, is the goad against which Lord Anglesea kicks. But — , the idea of such a succedaneum as Lord Melville ! To this we • may well say, with Shak speare, " horrible, horrible, horrible !" A Minister, unknown for a single political beneficence, and cele brated for filling the Brit;sh Navy (i. e. all the profitable niches in the naval establishment) with hungry kinsmen, from the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland. If it be really true, that Lord Anglesea will not be badgered loy the Minister, we do not see the good of continuing the pageantry of Viceroyalty, ignominious, ctiffed and insultedviceroyalty,in Ireland. The successor of Lord Anglesea, whoever he be, must be an infliction upon the purse and liberties of the country ; because, when trust becomes untenable on grounds of independence, the individual, who grasps at the thing which an independent and honest man has flung from him, as disgraceful in the tenure, must be a sycophant and-an oppressor, even though he be the representative of a King. KENT LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.—We are happy to state that at the last meeting of this Association en Monday evening, the names of nearly 100 members were enrolled. This promises to become a most powerful and effective instrument in keeping the Brunswickers in check, and promoting, in general, the great cause of Civil and Re ligious Liberty.—Kent Herald. KENT LIBERAL DINNER.—This important meeting is the present topic of conversation throughout the county. The applications for tickets nre very numerous, and a crowded assemblage of nearly a:1 the rank, talent, and respectability of the county of Kent, may be expected. We imagine that feiv who would feel satisfaction at witness ing such A triumph of liberal sentiment, will be absent on such an occasion.—lrentlierald. COUNTENANCE AND PROTECTION.—The following Resolution was passed at the Aggregate Meeting hell yesterday :—" That two Gentlemen in every county, city, and large town in Ireland, do attend in London, at the meeting of Parliament, to give their countenance and advice to Mr. O'Connell, on occasion of taking his seat." There are thirty-two counties in Ireland, and we may set down the cities and large towns at fifty, so that if this reso lution be carried into effect, the Member for Clare will proceed to the House with a tail composed of one hundred and sixty-four persons.—. Dublin Evening Mail, I Vol nesday. Even the gentry in Sweden arc discontented and quite out of their element without brandy; especially if they have it nut with their whet before dinner. SELF.—It is well and truly said by the old Puritan Brooks, that " Self is the only oil which makes the chariot wheels of the hypocrite move in religious con cernments." Bradford the Martyr was wont to. say, " I count that hour lost, in which Ido no good with my pen, my tongue, or my purse." Three of the members of the corporation in one of the west of England boroughs, were some tine since put into the Spiritual Court for living in fornication.— Morning Paper. TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.—The errors made by compositors are sometimes very entertaining. For instance, the New Times once contained an account of a fashionable party at which one of tke most distinguished persons was " the Duke of Pork !" Another paper lately furnished its readers with a long report of proceedings in the " Court of Common Fleas !" and the Morning Chronicle of last Tuesday contained an account of an " atrocious bobbery I"—Lincoln Herald. ANECDOTE.—Mr. Kryglas, one day being dressed in a very handsome pair of new boots, met a friend when the following conversation ensued Mr. Frad. These are handsome boots, Mr. Kryglas, who made them ?" Mr. K. " Willy Lop."—Mr. F. " How did you prevail on him ?" Mr. K. ." Guess."—Mr. suppose you talked him over in the old way." Mr. K. " No, that won't do now."—Mr. F. " Then, when they came home, you ordered half a dozen more?" Mr. K. " No."—Mr. F. " Perhaps you gave a cheque on Ham mersley, which you knew would not be honoured." Mr. K. " No, no, no ; in short, you might guess till to-morrow before you would hit it—l paid for them !I" An humble but an ingenious mechanic of Little Coxwell, near this town, having bestowed most of his " over hours" during the last twelve months, in en. dea%rouring to bring to perfection a " dandy horse," has given publicity to his intention of showing off his Rosinante on the 22d instant, by following sir keeping a-head of the fox and hounds on that day. It is not for us to anticipate the success or non-success of his ingenious invention._. Devizes Gazette. On the 16th ult. Maria, the, wife of John Finch, the eldest daughter of 31r. Jesse Bill, of Wickham. market, was delivered of a daughter in the presence of her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother; therefore herself and infant child made jive generations, all then present, which agrees with the old saying, and rare occur rence of " Rise up daughter, and go to your daughter, for your daughter'sdaughter bath gut a dung/dm—lpswich Chronicle. INSANITY.---Dr. Burrows, an eminent writer on diseases of the mind, has asserted that disappointments and losses have little effect in producing insanity, when compared with sudden joy and wealth. The mind is better able to bear misfortune than prosperity. During the period of the commercial panic in 1625, it is asmr tained that fewer individuals became insane in London than in the same period for several years previously. ACClDENT.—Yesterday an Inquest was held at Guy's Hospital, on the body of Mr. Edward White, aged 40. The deceased was clerk to Messrs. Read and Cooper, brewers, of Dartford ; and on the Ist instant he was proceeding from Crayford to Dartford, with a dray containing empty casks, and was overtaken by the Sur prize Dover coach, the driver of which whipped the horses of the dray, which caused the animals to start off at a furious rate. The deceased, in endeavouring to stop them, fell, and two of the wheels of the coach passed over his body. Both his legs were broken, and he received other injuries which caused a locked jaw. The Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death, and levied a deodand of 51. on the coach and horses. MUSICAL REVIEW. A COMPLETE INSTRUCTION BOOK FOR THE. GUITAR. COMPOSED BY F.

THE POETRY WRITTEN EY HARRY STOE VAN DYK--.-THE MUSIC COMPOSED BY JOHN BAR NETT. i Upon the whole, the abo ve selection s well enough calculated to wile away an hour in the drawing-room—independent of its errors in harmony, and somewhat " namby-pamby" style of poetry. The Author's preface is calculated to disarm criticism of its too scrutinizing glance— especially as we are unceasingly in the habit of contemplating even greater faults, from the pens of writers of much greater eminence than H. S. Van Dyk, or the untutored John Barnett ; we strongly recommend to the latter gentleman a few lessons upon the established progressions of chords, as he has a pretty taste for melody, and a clear enough perception of the attributes of that which is termed national. We strongly protest, however, agahist the custom now too much given way to, of writing the tenor or middle harmonies in the treble or (realest cltyj: Surely the lower notes of the treble, and the highest of the base clef, would render the sounds precisely as they should be, without resorting to the clumsy and Use_ expedient we allude to. UNITED STATES. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.—We give below a statement of the electoral votes, as they will pro bably be east for President and Vice-President of the United States early in the next month.

The Queen and her suite will proceed to the Castle in the Royal car riages. Invitations, we believe, have been sent to the Marquis de Palmella, to the Marquess de Barbacene, and Viscount de Rattly -an% to attend on the 22d (Monday) at Windsor Castle, to meet the Queen; It is probable that her Majesty will partake of an early dinner at the Castle. —Morning Paper.

Where the pale stranger dares net come, Proud o'er my native sands I rove ; An Arab tent my only 'wine, An Arab maid my only love ! Here freedom dwells without a fear— Coy to the world, she loves the wild ; Who ever brings a fetter here, To chain the desert's fiery child ? What though the Frank may name with scorn Our barren clime, our realm of sand ? There were our thousand fathers born— Oh, who would scorn his father's land ? It is not sands that form a waste, Nor laughing fields a happy clime; The spot the most by Freedom grac'd, Is where man feels the most sublime !

Park ; garden, timid which gun I bought of a gentleman in Colonel Hughes and friends, from ditto ; WW. Ramsdesi, Esq. from ditto. October last. ' This gun was always kept in the cor ner of the back parlour, to be handy when I used it in the garden. Before I purchased the short gun, as I before stated, the other gun always stood - in the same place; and some time alo my wife attempted to shoot me with it, which was prevented by the intervention of a person who happened to be in the house at the time. She presented it at me, and the person alluded to struck her arm down, and thecon tents were lodged in the floor of the room. " Upon finding that she was shot, I attempted to get out at the hack door, to give the alarm, which I could not do in consequence of its being locked and the key not in the door (the front door was gene rally kept locked). I cannot say by whom the key was removed. I then flew to the front parlour win dow, out of which I got and jumped over the gate, and went to the cottage opposite to give the alarm. I there saw a man, who I believe went for some others of his neighbours, but I was almost insen sible from the effect of the blows. This man, with some others, returned with me to the house. We entered by the parlour window. When I first went to this man, as well as I can recollect, I stated that an alarming accident had happened, and begged of him to come over with me to my house. - After we got in the house I sent immediately for a surgeon, who, upon his arrival, saw the state in which my head was, which at that time was bleeding pro fusely ; but before the arrival of the surgeon I stated to the men who returned to the house with me: the circumstances connected with the accident, and the manner in which it occurred. I did not state to any one that the gun with which the accident happened was up stairs, by my heti-side, because the long gun was there, and is so at this time if not removed. I never kept the short gun up stairs. I stated, as was the fact, that it was in the corner of the room in which we were sitting, and which was the usual place in which the gun stood. " This is a true account of this dreadful catastro phe, but at the same time that I lament the fatal termination of the struggle for the gun, I am fully persuaded that it was the intention of my wife to shoot me, as she had before attempted to do so." It appears from the testimony of one of the per sons who will be examined on the trial, that the de ceased had formed an improper intimacy with a man of the, name of Prosser, about three or four months after their removal to Cheam, who was employed fisbatyriiilltieLceoxr,mt iu the house to do some work as a plumber. He soon after this became an inmate in the house, and has on several occasions been detected in an impro per situation with the deceased. Previous to this time the parties had lived comfortably together, but upon these circumstances coming to the knowledge of the husband, he was, as may very naturally be conceived, irritated, and upon several occasions re monstrated with the deceased upon the impropriety of her conduct, and upon these occasions she uni formly behaved with the greatest violence, striking him with a poker, breaking the chairs, and destroy ing every thing within her reach. In addition to the above particulars, we insert a verbatinz copy of a letter found in the house by the officer who took the prisoner into custody : " SIR,—I have taken the liberty of sending you these few lines, as I have been informed that you have left your lodgings, and are now lodging at Lower Cheam, where I am informed you are court ing a virtuous girl, but you, false man, intend serving her as you have served me; but if you have the least regard for me, and act like a man, you will meet me by the Lodge, on Thursday evening, by eight o'clock, in Nonsuch-park. You are aware of the situation I am in. If you do not meet me, I shall be under the dis agreeable necessity of calling upon you at your new lodgings, where I certainly shall expose you as far as ill my power, as I consider you are a gay deceiver, and will walk with many, but I consider it is for Self interest. Then, false man, meet me once more. You are well aware who lam ; therefore I shall re fuse to sign my name." Addressed to—" Mr. William Prosser, at Mr. Whitman's, Lower Cheam, Surrey."

He Was tried at the last Old Bailey Sessions, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and to he twice publicly flogged. At eleven o'clock the culprit arrived in a hackney-coach, attended by two turnkeys and the finisher of the law, at the corner of Bell.street. A few minutes after the Sheriff arrived, and the man was tied to a cart and flogged 200 yards. A distressing scene took place—the ~rife of the culprit, who resides in the street, was allowed to appear at the window. Her screams were heart-rending after the sentence was carried into effect.
