THE THENTRE. COTENT-GARDEN. —The musical drama of Maid Marian, which was so successful last season, was represented yesterday evening. Friar Michael was the first character in whicCMr. C. KEMBLE attempted to display broad comic humour, and be last night exercised his Quarter sluff with equal adroitness. Miss IlAstmcitst.ty, on this occasion, supplied the place of Miss TREE as the heroine of the piece, and appeared to more than usual advantage as an actress. She also evidently improves in singing. COOPER was the substitute for ABBOTT in the Outlaw, and the part was not less prominent. The rest of the characters were allotted as heretofore, and went off with about the same success. The Poachers, though a divert ing farce in itself, was not a little indebted to the spirited acting of JONES, COOPER, and PLANCHARD. A more numerous audience than 13 usual so early in the season. TII EAT RICA L C IT-CHAT. --- , 4mu--- CHARLES Kr.stnr.E has commenced his season at Covent-Garden with every prospect of success.

The com pany consisted of the following distinguished personages : Prince Esterhazy, Duke of Wellington, the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors, Earl and Countess Lieven, Duke of Dorset, Marquis Douro, Lord Wellesley, Lord and Lady Maryborough, together with the various Noblemen holding official situations in his Majesty's household. The grand suite of rooms was thrown open and illuminated in the same style of splendour as characterised the preceding Royal entertainments ; and the banquet was supplied in the most magnificent manner. The Band of the Life Guards was stationed in the conserva tory, where they played a variety of select pieces until twelve o'clock.—The weather still continues very unfavourable, in consequence of which his Majesty has not left the Royal Lodge the whole of the day.—llis Majesty, during his airing on Tuesday last, had several shots at pheasants in the preserves, and killed four. ...; •,..›.. ,k, C dr.: ^-"" • .

In the evening the Royal Duchesses, accompanied by the Duke of Meiningen and Princess Feodore, honoured Covent.garden Theatre with their presence, for the first time this season. Mr. Secretary Peel left town yesterday morning for Ring wood, the seat of Mr. Baring, on a shooting excursion for two or three days. Lord Pahnerston anti Mr. Sullivan, his Lordship's Secretary and brother-in-law ' have returned to town, after enjoying great sport upon his Lordship's well preserved manor, (luring the month of September. Each of these persons has resumed his occupation at the War-Office. Lord Stowell, notwithstanding his advanced age, and the increase of his bodily infirmity, has just returned from a trip to the islands of Jersey and Guernsey ; an especial yacht was sent from Cowes to convey the adventurous traveller to England, where he has arrived in good health and spirits, after a delight ful voyage. The Lord Chancellor still remains at his seat at Encombe, in Devonshire, where his Lordship complains heavily of the scarcity of game. The Noble Lord's presents to his friends in London, have, in consequence, this year been exceeding cir ctunscribed, notwithstanding his Lordship shot with a double barrelled Manton, which the artist promised would bring birds down. Colonel Bolton, with his family and the usual circle of visi tors, are ut his delightful estate i at Stor, on the banks of Win. dermere, where they expected a visit from Mr. Canning, on his return from Ireland.—Mr. Scarlett, Mr. Brougham, and the leading men at the Bar, receive an invitation, annually, from Mr. Bolton, while on the Northern Circuit.

THE KING'S BODY GUARD FOR SCOTLAND.- We understand, from authority, that the Council of the Royal Company of Archers, King's Body Guard for Scotland, having nominated his Grace the Duke of Montrose to be Captain. General, in place of the late lamented Earl of Hopetoun, the nomination has been lately submitted to his Majesty, who has been most graciously pleased to approve of the appo i ntment. The Council have also appointed the Earl of Dalhousie and the Earl of Elgin to be Lieutenant-Generals of the Royal Company, in the place of the Duke of Montrose and the late Marquis of Lothian. The Royal Company are to have an op portunity of receiving the Duke of Montrose, as Captain. General, on the lath of November next, when they propose to give his Grace a splendid entertainment.—(Edin. Courant, Oct, _,13 The New York Papers designate the following a neat and well-turned compliment :—Mr. Hur ley, a hatter, having presented to General La Fayette a handsome cocked hat, Mr. G. Wash ington La Fayette sent to Mr. IL's shop to pro. cure a hat for himself. This was immediately furnished—hut when payment was offered Mr. IL declined, saying, ' That all the hats he could supply the La Fayettes with were paid for 40 years ago !!' FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Considerable im provements are now making on the corner piece of ground over Westminster-bridge where the much frequented place of worship is situated in aid of the funds of that excellent Institution the Female Orphan Asylum. The lease of the ground has just expired, which was held at a very low rental.— The Guardians of the Asylum have been obliged to purchase the same of the City of London, at the expense of 16,0001., and have found it necessary to clear away the old buildings of the Institution which were formerly the stables of the Hercules Tavern. The buildings being found to be in a very dilapidated state, it is the intention of the Guardians of the Asylum to erect a hand some building suitable to such an Institution, with a portico entrance to the Chapel next the Southwark-road. The works are proceeding very rapidly. The blank wall in the Kennington road will be taken down, and the ground let out on building leases, as likewise the ground on the Southwark-road which will join the new Asylum. A Building Fund has been established towards the said improvements, to which we heartily wish success. • POETRY. ON A BEAUTIFUL LADY WHO WAS DUSINDACKID. From eyes like Louisa's how sore is the smart, Each glance gives a wound Time can never erase; What infinite pangs doth such beauty impart, So snowy her bosom, so lovely her face. Look behind—O, how alter'd ! no symmetry there, No Grace, but a vast ugly bunch in its stead ; You would think, so well aim'd are the wounds of the fair, Cupid sat there and shot his darts over her head. IMPROMPTU ON ONE WIIO WAS RUINED BY GAINING A LAWSUIT. Whoc'er takes counsel of his friends, Will ne'er take Counsel of the Law : Whate'er his means, whate'er his ends, Still he shall no advantage draw. Justice in vain may urge her plea, May show that all is right and fair; The Lawyer, too, has had his fee, And gain'd your snit—but left you bare. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

On Wednesday, the F arn b oroug h h oun d s, after a sharp b urst with a hare, roused an out-lying deer, which offered one of the best runs over a strong country this crack-pack ever had. —The buck, after going ofF in a most pilLint style, took a circuit of three miles, when finding himself hard pressed, he made for the Park, at Hound-street, where,. from the foil of the other deer, the hounds were for a time at fault; but by the skill of the huntsman, Mr. Richard Bridges, they were soon again laid on the right scent; and after a run of three hours with scarcely a check, he was run in admirable style into the parish of Chetwood. During the chase most of the sports men were thrown out, and the honour of the day was left to the huntsman and four couple and a-half of his hounds. Mr. Bridges took a tremendous leap, during the run, over a park wall, and neither whiper.in or horseman dared to follow. In addition to Mr. Horlock's fox-hounds, it is understood that this pack will hunt, within the same distance of Bath, the whiter season. ROWING MATCH. The contest between Messrs. IVarren and Anson to row against Messrs. Ford and Carrington, took place yesterday from Milbank to a lock off Twickenham and return to Putney. It was for 20 sovereigns aside. The former rowed in yellow and the other in red . . The unfavourable state of the weather prevented the match from being ve r y at t ra cti ve , b u t i t was a well contested race, the boats kept together to Kew-bridge, when the red led, but were passed again at Twickenham, when the e t t interesting, and i t was won b y t h e ye ll ow g became firs very through the bridge b y a b out fifty yards.—The rowers g w ere completely soak e d. i n tug PEDESTRIANISM. Jenkins, a pedestrian of note, started yesterday morning to go on foot to the forty-two mile stone between Read and Ba singstoke, and to pursue his course of road, so as to reach the stone, and return to Hyde Park, in twenty-four hours. The following is the literal direction of a letter which passed through the Post -office of Cambridge, on Wed nesday last : To my best of friends, my chum, 3ly-all, (But should any one, where he lives enquire ? With his father, A. My-all, Esquire :) So I pray you, Mr. What d'ye call, Go tell him that still in health I am, And deliver this safe at Hedingham, Essex. A better than the above was sent some time back to a nymph at Edmonton. It ran thus— Fly, Postman, with this letter ; run To Carter, Baker, Edmonton. To Nancy Carter, there convey it : This is the charge ; with speed obey it. Remember, my blade, The postage is paid. The electors and representatives of some of our boroughs are making very active preparations for a general election, which it is expected will take place in the course of the ensuing year. Mr. GRENVELL has published a spirited address to the electors of Penryn, in which he tells them that he will never be a party to any illegal prac tices to accomplish his object; and that, as they have a right to decide on the grounds upon which they will support a candidate, he has an equal right to decide upon the principles on which alone he will accept their support. It is understood that many of the worthy and inde pendent electors are looking for a more profitable customer ; bat it is to be hoped that there will be still found sufficient independence, even in Penryn, to ensure the return of a representative whose faithful and zealous discharge of his Par liamentary duties has been attended with so much advantage to the country.—(West Briton.) We have great reason to fear that many of the valuable animals stolen from this and other coun ties, have been taken to the water's edge, and sold to go on board vessels on the point of sailing for foreign parts; which may account for the gi a hope of th e i r re lant search ma d e b y frequently sudden loss of the clue whi c h the e in stantoveryb.erfiorlee gaveresul result o f the v flattering i the Rev. Mr. Searle, of Kelvedon H a t c h , f or two animals rendered favourites by th e i r l ong and useful services, gives strength to thi s suggest i on. After tracing them to the water's edge, upon the Essex coast, opposite to Woolwich, Mr. Searle discovered that they had been sold to go on board a Merchantman, bound for Jamaica, which sailed from that place two days before.—(Bury Gazelle.) Last Thursday a man named Thomas Per kins, of Freiston, engaged for a wager to eat a pound of mutton chops and a penny loaf, and drink a pint of ale, in five minutes. lle was 15 seconds more than the given time, and conse quently lost his wager. ALCOA BAY. We annex an extract of a letter written by one of the new settlers at Algoa Bay. There will be found several inconsistencies, which we do not pretent to reconcile, in the writer's statements, but it is obvtous that the prospects in that settlement, which proved so disastrous to those who first ven tured thither, are materially improving. " Port Elizabeth, Algoa Bay, June 18, 1824. " We are now becoming in some degree settled here, and the colony is so far improved, that none who now come out would incur any riskof encountering the difficulties we met with at first. The way is now paved, and persons with moderate views and a capital of five hundred pounds would soon become independent. For labourersin particular, greatadvantages present themselves, and the people of that class already here really feel themselves of so much importance, that they are, in demeanour at least, like the nobility of the country. Though I pay them very high wages, I am compelled to use urgent intreatics to get any thing done; and at this moment, so important a person is our cobler, I can neither get a pair of shoes mended for love nor money. The only drawback on the labouring class is the ' heat ofthe middle of the day for about four months. The cautious Dutch sleep in the middle of the day, but the English labourers spend their time in drinking, and are, therefore, generally, incorrigible drunkards. Printing is at present prohibited here; but we expect that the next arrivals from England will bring out an order to remove that prohibition. Indeed, the obstacles to improvement here are 80 temporary that they are hardly worth alluding to. Almost all the in dividuals here who are in authority are half-pay officers, and very far from sagacious in what concerns the management of an infant colony. You may take a specimen of their political sagacity. `ire have but one butcher in Port Eliza beth : another butcher applied to the Land-drost (a Colonel) for permission to begin business, but this officer told him he did not see any occasion for two butchers. The climate here is better than at Cape Town, and for my own part I had rather settle my Gray in the country than in a large town. I should do very well indeed, if I thought only of myself, and not of making provision for my family, whom I long andstraining a to have with me ; b u t tremble at the risk of placing them here, until I have a home fit for their reception. I tun, ot therefore, to ehvoeurs. have ye nervet already improve lo e t n h c el s a ed nd I have got, my land at considerable cost, and have built some small houses for the accommodation of the workmen. I ant now projecting the building a good house for mys e lf, w hi c h I h o p e to b e ) t o a able to accomplish for the small sum of 1 5 0/. I have at pre sentffrroolnlti produce lAt e c n e o ti fi l m n y e l a a r u September, my nothing but out-goings, and have derived n o b ene fi t yet I'lonot a e n x d pe r litaovegectonid n u t ce l y one man at work, and have sometimes employed several.— Clothes are excessively dear. My flock of sheep and goats have greatly diminished, anti we have not sufficient shelter for cattle in the rainy season, and from this cause I lost lately three cows out of ten. You will say I have not managed badly to get on as I have. I have five horses, a chaise, and cart; but I have never had a ride in my chaise, although I brought it with me front Cape-town, for 1 can get no servant to wait upon me. The necessaries of life, however, are 'extremely cheap. If you cannot get roast beef in England, come here and you will have your surloin at twopence per lb.; besides which you will have grapes, peaches, melons, Sze., anti wine for about 3d. a bottle. We hope for a free tra de here, and no military superintendence. We are all true John Bulls, and hope to have the Covent-garden election one day or other."-- (Times.) It appears that the late invitation of the Pre- Went BOYER to the free coloured people of the United States to emigrate to Hayti has been accepted by numbers. The fol lowing is one, amongst several notices upon the subject, which appear in the New York Papers Sixty adult negroes and some children have just embarked on board the Charlotte Corde, bound to Hayti. A multitude of coloured people are looking on ; all seem to approve of the plan. We are told that four hundred more have engaged to sail front this port."— (Democratic Press.) STORM IN AllNOllCA.—(Barcelona, Sept. 20.)—We learn from Mahon, in the island of Majorca, that horrible ravages had been occasioned by a typhon on the 31st of August, and particularly in Santa-Eularia, Santa-Eularcita, San &rani, and the parts adjacent ; the roofs of the houses were blown off, walls torn down, and the vines, with a number of other trees, torn up by the roots. In short, it is impossible at present to calculate on the damage which has been occasioned by the violence of the typhon in its progress from south to north. But the disaster did not end here,—a heavy ram fell during the night of the 3d and •Ith of September, and in such abundance that several houses and magazines in the city were completely inundated. At day-break the ruins thus occasioned presented a frightful spetacle; the gardens in the plain of St. Julian were completely under water, and their produce was entirely destroyed. This horrible tempest was accompanied by violent wind, claps of thunder, flashes of lightning, and hailstones of an enormous size. At the time of the departure of the courier, no intelligence had been received from the inte. rior of the island : the floods had rendered the roads impass. able, and it is not doubted that great losses had been sustained on the plain of Favm kb. This storm took the same direction as the tempest of the 31st of August, from south to north. About the village of Millbrook, a considerable sect named Bryanites or Brianites, has lately sprung up, whose teachers and leading men claim not only the power of casting out devils, but pretend to . possess a still more dangerous power—the power of seeing into the future world, and ascer taining the lot of the inmates thereof. In the applica tion of this power, they of course see all those who think as they think, in Paradise, while all those who do not belong to their persuasion, or who, after having been joined to them, leave their association, are seen amidst hell torments, by which means the simple arc gained and the doubting alarmed, and bound to their creed. Some distressing instances of the effects of these anathemas have occurred. In the midst of their religious meetings they are caught in trances, when males and females are all huddled together and thrown into a dark cellar, where they remain till a spirit moves them. One of the fraternity having fallen dangerously ill, his wife , not one of them s e nt for the clergyman of the parish to visit him, and read the prayers for the sick by him. This the clergyman, a very worthy man, went readily to perform ; but, upon his arrival at the house, he was opposed front entrance by a man, decent in appearance, judging from his dress, who assured him that he was too late ; that all was over, and the devil dislodged front the sick man. I saw him (the devil) my self, said the Brianite pastor, come out of the man, pass through this window, fly over the house, and over the adjoining heights, to his proper abode ; and my brother, added he, is now watching at the bedside of the defunct, lest Satan return by stealth and enter him again. The clergyman, notwithstanding every effort made to get into the house, believing the man to be as he really was, still alive, was compelled to give up th e attempt, and next day, before he returned, the poor man had actually expired-L-(Edinburgh courant.) %Ve are happy to learn, on the authority of a manufacturer residing there, and himself employ ing two hundred workmen, that the Spitalfields trade has never been in a more prosperous state than it is at the present ; and that so far from the workmen having, as has been stated, " to deplore the loss of their former privileges" by the repeal of the Act which regulated their wages, it has been a great benefit to them, as they tire actually paid now fifteen per cent. more for some articles than the law allowed them ; and there is not a single loom idle for 'want of employ.

NAPLES, SEPT. 16, 1824.--Sir FREDERICK FALCONER, an Irish Gentleman, who has been resident here several years, put a period to his existence in a melancholy manner on Tuesday last, the 14th inst. Ever since his arrival here, in 1819, be had been labouring under great pe cuniary embarrassments ; he had bees repeatedly arrested for debts, and as frequently, almost im mediately, liberated by the kindness and gene• rosity of the English residents with whom he was acquainted. A rapid succession of these circum stances, and his own unpardonable imprudence, at length tired even the warmest hearted and the best intentioned of his friends, who, one by one, had refused to lend him any further assistance.— Last week he was on the point of being carried to prison for the trifling sum of 56 ducats, and was relieved by a Neapolitan Nobleman to whom he was already deeply indebted. On Tuesday morning, the luissiers and the Judge de Paix surprised him in bed, at his lodgings, at the Ri viera di Chiaja, and presented him a fresh writ for a debt of six hundred ducats. He requested them to wait while be dressed ; they retired into an other room accordingly ; and after waiting more than a quarter of an hour, they re-entered his chamber, and found him in bed with the sheet stained with blood, drawn over his head ; they removed it, and found him dead ! His throat was dreadfully mangled ; he had repeated the stroke three times; the razor with which he had committed the deed lay beside him. The Judi. cial Authorities, at the instance of Mr. Hamilton, our Minister, were put under arrest on account of some irregularities, inconsistent with our treaty wi►h this country, which they had committed in the arrest.; they were, however, admitted to hail after a day's confinement. The wife of the un fortunate man, Lady Falconer, who is connected with same of the first families of Ireland,has had the most humane attentions paid to her. The body was deposited yesterday evening in a gar den, near the Ortn Botanico, the only spot in Naples allotted to the burial of Protestants.-- This melancholy catastrophe has excited a deep interest in the societies of this city, among which Sir Frederick and his Lady had long mixed in au intimate manner.—(New Times.)

BONY•Sitt LET —(riliJ Dajj.)—A woman, whose appearance bespoke the most cruet treatment, seriously bruised, and literally covered with blood, was brought before the Sitting Magistrate, charged. with creating a constant riot in the house of Mr. nolling, the Fountain, in Little Cathe rine -court, Strand, where it appeared she had broken several panes of glass, &c., and also threatened that she would not desist until she had either the life of the landlord or his wife.-- On Sir RicuAan BIUNIC asking her to account for such conduct, she commenced entering into a tale respecting herself and husband, saying that he was an Irishman, and the difference was in their religion ; she was of the Church of Eng. land, and he of the Popish Religion. Sir lticitAnn here asked if the woman was now drunk, and was *answered in the affirmative: he ordered her to be locked up, and her hu'sband sent for. R 10T.—On Saturday morning a riot took place in North College-street, occasioned by the body of a woman having been observed lying on a table in a shed by some boys who were clamber ing on the roof. As the shed communicated with the College by a subterraneous passage, it was immediately concluded that the body had been exhumated, and was intended for dissection. Au alarm was instantly given, and, it being break fast hour, a great crowd of tradesmen speedily collected, who proceeded to force the door, which opened into the shed, which they soon effected, with the aid of hammers. A party of policemen arrived at this time, who put the body into a sack and conveyed it to the Police Office. The mob, in the mean time, had procured candles and proceeded to explore the passage which led to the College, under the impression of finding some other corps, but in this they were mistaken. They, however, got hold of one or two stuffed figures in the form of the human body, used in the anatomical lectures, which they brought to ttie street, awl haw led about for some time, when they were taken from them by the Police. A strong body of officers, with considerable dif ficulty, cleared the passage and the shed of the mob, it ho, however, continued on the street for a considerable time. Th e police arrived very opportunely, as, from the threatening app earance of the mob, much damage might have soon been committed on the preparations in the College had r Oct. exemplified 4.) yes they not been checked in their attempt su r t e ob i r t e h a ig k in.
