THE THEATRE, ViNGLIBIL OPERA Housa.---The high reputa tion which has attended a terrific romance in Germany. entitled Der Frieschutz, or the .Senenth Bullet, has induced the enterprizing and • liberal Proprietor to bring forward a translation, which was represented last night before a crowded audience. The following sketch of the l'ahle will give our Readers a general concep tion of its nature Rudolph (Mr.' Braham) and Casper (Mr. Bennett) are both enamoured of Agnes (Miss Noel) ; Rudolph is the favourite of the lady and her father. Casper, however, obtains from the. Demon of a Forest (Mr. T. P. Cooke) the power of direct. ins any bullets with which he might fire fairly to the mark at which he aims ; in consideration whereof he engages to sur render himielf a victim, or to procure a victim for the Demon, after the lapse of a certain period of time. He is desirous of making his rival Rudolph this victim, and endeavours to do so by transferring this power of directing the shots he might tire With accurate aim. Rudolph is the more anxious to become what is termed " a good shot," as a trial shot is about to take Place, which alludes ton custom that prevailed in part of Ger many, that he who proved himself the best shot was entitled to the ungership of the forest, and to demand in marriage the most beautiful woman in the country. Notwithstanding these blended attractions to yield to the suggestions of Casper, Ro (Mph escapes the, snare, and the piece rather abruptly ends, by Rodolph's bullet, at the trial shot, being directed by the liemon' s power to the heart of Casper. He falls—the Demon "{Tests in a cloud of sulphureous smoke, shower of fire, &c. and takes him away. A chorus is sung, the curtain falls, and t!ie audience are left to conclude that poetical justice is full. idled, that Rudolph is married to Agnes, and that subsequent kace and felicity compensate for all the preceding horrors. It is evident that compositions of this description do not come within the rules of ordinary criticism, as they are intended to exceed the boundaries of unture. Mere common-place life is too tame for dramatic representation, and therefore in works Of a supernatural kind, a wider latitude of indul gence must be required and may readily be a d. mated. There is nothing absolutely new in the fahin, 'as we have had many works of the s ame kind, in which the chief characters have, as the Phrase is," sold themselves to the Devil." But there are some touches of the horrific kind in the Present piece, which enable it to make a still rronger impression on the audience. The fable is taken from The Tales of the Northern Na t!ons, where supernatural wonders are still be iii:ved to exist, notwithstanding the progress of science and the march of civilization. Such subjects are therefore proper for dramatic effect, and so • must be considered, otherwise we must banish even the sublime Tragedy of Macbeth from the stage. But with respect to the piece of last night, the chief object has been the introduction of Music, composed by WEBER, a musician of high repute in Germany. This music was performed with great accuracy and powerful effect last night. — . e shall not, like some of our competitors, pre tend to enter into an elaborate examination of its merits or defects ; but it is proper to observe that it is highly admired by some of our best profes sors and judges, and therefore it would become our diurnal Critics to submit to theiropinion.The performance of this music was so ably superintend. ed by Messrs. 13R:111AM and II AWES that it went off whit , all due precision, energy, and expression. For ourselves, we shall only observe that the composition in general seemed to be appropriate to the•sentiments, and to vary with the great or delicate subjects that•it accompanied. The act iNg in general was good. BRAHAM, BARTLEY, BENNETT, 11. PHILLIPS, bliss NOEL, and Miss Porzy, all gave sufficient importance to their • Parts. The scenery was beautiful in some parts, end in others awfully impressive, and the w hole Was received with very warm applause. T he Drama itself is stated to be a lit eral translation by Mr. LonAN, who by previous works has ren dered himself known to the Public.—We cannot, and ought, not to conclude without again bearing testimony to the liberality of the Proprietor of this Theatre, whose zeal seems to be indefatigable its the service of the Public, who closed his Theatre one night that the piece might be repre o onted with the best effect, by repeated re hearsals. and who has obviously spared no ex- Pence to render it efficient and acceptable to the scientific taste of the connoisseur its well as the gentrality of his audiences. 11 4 a 1 A.--It appears that the war in India will be carried on with vigour, and that the Supreme Government are using every exertion that it shall h" of short duration. In the first instance, we understand that fifteen thousand troops were em barked from Bengal, and fi ve thousand from Madras, principally composed of his Majesty's Regiments, but which are to be followed by more extensive embarkations from the different Pre 3)denries, and from Ceylon. It is, however , thought that, f rom th e great extent of territory acquired during the late Mahratta war, a consi derable number of European troops must be sent to India. By the last letters from India, it like wise appears, that the Commander in Chief was in the interior of the country—that Mr. s',. ( mi'4 ADAM was, in coniequence, of serious in disposition, absent from Calcutta--and that there were only two Members of the Council with the u overnor-General, at Fort William. HANOVER, JULY I3.—llis Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has returned to Mont BriNut, from his tour in the Principality of Os nabuyg.—Count Munster is expected from Jo hannisberg to-morrow.

LINES Addressed to the late HENRY CONDELL, Esq• On his Music to the ENCHANTED ISLAND, founded upon SHAKSPEARE'S TEMPEST, which was represented some years ago, at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket. CONDELL, to thee no common praise is due, Bending thy flight where PuncEr.r. rose of yore, In fond pursuit of fame, among the few Whose nobler spirits emulative soar. Whether the scene displays the pomp of state, Parental tenderness, or youthful love, Or the dread spells of necromantic fate, Thy kindred notes appropriate feelings move. Nor less thy pow'r when the HOUGH MONSTER'S Ken, Or light_w►ng'd ARIEL and the tiny band, Thy numbers varying, with each varying mien, In all express a master's potent hand. Then well, ingenious artist, thee we hail, Whose strains adorn e'en SHANSPEARE'S wondrous tale. THE CALEDONIAN CANAL. [From the Twenty-first Report.] The variable nature of the winds in the great Valley of Scotland which contains the Caledonian Canal, seems to be established beyond farther contradiction, 0-4tlts of these 844 vessels having derived no assistance from tracking by horses, or any other means than by using their own sails. The Atalanta revenue cutter, of 120 tons, has lately passed from the East to the West sea in four and twenty hours, not withstanding her having lain atachor during the night. The usual time consumed in the passage does not exceed three or four days ; the average time consumed in the passage by Cape tNenVrdaitlingbetoint months. sg m asmanweeks, and there are instances of its ex- We do not make this statement to profe - That steam boats will not hereafter be serviceable in towing large vessels through the lakes, but as a reason why no steam boat has as yet been prepared for that especial service. The demand for such as sts.ancs! must be of frequent occurrence before it can be prudent to incur the expence of providing for it. We intend no alteration in the very moderate tonnage rates at present demanded (on farthing per ton per mile) earlier than the end of May 1825; before which time we trust that the canal will be capable of affording a passage to the largest merchant shipping which may have occasion to frequent it. Indeed we hope to be able to announce before the end of September next, that ships not exceeding fifteen feet draught of water may be assured of uninterrupted passage ; in which case, the numerous vessels which may be expected to return from North America to the eastern ports of Scotland in the ensuing autumn, will escape the danger and delay of the northern passage. With this prospect before us, it becomes expedient to promulgate in a regular manner rules for the conduct of those who frequent the canal, and of those who have it in charge.— These rules, and also a list of the vessels which have navigated the canal (omitting the periodical steam-packets and open boats) are inserted in the appendix, The amount of canal dues brought to account during the last twelvemonth appears to upwards of 1,5001. From Ist May, 1103, to Ist May, 1824, 134 voyages have been made by steam-boats carrying passengers. In proceeding to describe the present state of the canal from east to west, as usual, we have to premise that it has not been found practicable, without incurring too much inconvenience and expence in removing the dredging machines, to enable our selves to announce progressively a depth of 13, 14, and 15 feet throughout the canal. A depth of 12 feet was attained last year ; a depth of 15 feet may be expected in the ensuing au tumn ; of 18 feet (we trust) in May next : those at least are the announcements wnich may be anticipated with the greatest probability. It is obvious that the Crinan Canal cannot but assume a new importance from its connection with the newly opened Caledo nian Canal ; and in order to ascertain the boundary of Crinan Canal property, we have caused an exact survey and ground plan to be made, and have reason to expect that an impending litigation will be thereby precluded ; and it was necessary to take same step, in order to counteract an opinion which seems to have prevailed in the neighbourhood, that encroachments would not be very watchfully repelled. We have also esta blished a new set of tonnage rates, favourable we hope to the pecuniary interests of the Crinan Canal, and rules for the con duct of those who frequent it, and of those who have it under their care. The Crinan Canal affords a passage between Loch Crinan on the west coast of the main land of Argyllshire, and Loch Fyne (as connected with the Clyde), to the eastwanl ; saving a voyage of thirty or forty leagues round the Mull of Can tyre. The length of the Canal is about nine miles, its depth between ten and eleven feet ; the dimensions of the locks, nines rig feet by twenty.four feet, so that steam boats of mode. vote ettfnensioswk lisatatuablitrumal..-lw - w!ltinit'nurgintalt a wr canal in their passage between tilasgow and Inverness, which latter place is thus become readily accessible front the Clyde by means of the Crinan and the Caledonian Canals.—(Edinburgh Courant, July 19. ) The new overture which has been performed at Vauxhall Gardens, under the title of A Battle Symphonia, was, we understand, com posed by Mr. RooKE, a native of Ireland, the Leader of the Vauxhall band, and the Tutor of Miss Foune, of Drury-lane Theatre. There is a martial energy in the piece very creditable to the composer. We are happy to hear that the son of the Bishop of CHICHESTER, who has been seriously 111 at Eton, is fast recovering. QUEBEC, Just: B.—" The Provincial Parlia ment is further prorogued, by proclamation, to the 29th July m Xt." A NOTIIER ASCENT FROM BATll.—Monday Mr. GRAIIkM -made his ninth ascent, unaccompanied, at tvrenl-five minutes past six, amidst a general I burst of enthusiastic admiration from the count- lessspectators within and withoutSydney.gardens. Having gained an altitude of nearly two miles and three quarters, the mercury in the barometer sinking to 17 and 1-10th, and the cold being so intense as to cause Mr. GRAHAM considerable in convenience, he determined to descend. At about twenty minutes past seven, Mr. GRAHAM landed in Longleat Park, the seat of the Mar quis of BATH, not far from the pond in front of the mansion. The young Lord s TWYNNE were on the spot, and prompt assistanc e was a fforded to secure the baloon and its app en d ages . The polit est attention was paid to M r .

A finer ascent could not be accom plished. The balloon was never out of sight from the moment of its launch, till it sank below the horizon at twelve minutes past seven.

CAM:MIDGE, JULY 22.—The Lord Bishop of Exeter held an ordination in the cathedral of that city on the 11th instant, when the following Gentlemen of this University were ordained DEACONS—Chas. Wicksted F.thelston, 8.A., Trinity Col lege; John Glencross, B.A. Queen's Col lege; George Kemp, 13. A., Trinity Cameollege. PIIIESTs—Js Hamilton, and John Chichester, 8.A., Magdalene College ; Geo. Robert Pte, 8.A., Caius College Michael Nowell Peters , 8.A., .' College and John Truman, 8.A., Catherine Hall. The Rev. Joseph Holden Pott, 11I.A, archdeacon of London, vicar of St.. Martin-in-the-Fields, and formerly of St. John's College, has been presented, by the Lord Bishop of London, to the vicarage of Kensington, vacant by the death of the Rev. T. Rennell. PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS generally circul in the University : The main street of Cambridge is obviously unworthy of the noble buildings which abut upon , it, several of which are now in .a coulee of, receiving great extension and embellishment.. There appears, theranirs, 14.' , e _peculiar , can, upon the , Uni versity at this time, to provide what 'is 'wanting of spice and area, both for general effect and for general convenience. The great bar to such an enlarged plan of improvement is tho posi tion of Caius College ; but from the liberal and public-spiritcd manner in which a proposition for its rlnoval has been enter. tamed by the Master and Fellows, no insuperable difficulty seems now to present itself. On the other hand, Plans having been actually submitted to that Society for the extension of their present front, should the existing opportunity be neglected by the University, it will be lost to us fur ever.—lt is no slight additional motive for endeavouring to obtain the site of that College, that the University will 'hue be enabled to allot a central position to the l"itzwilliam Museum ; and by .associat ing it with the other public Edifices, to fulfil the wish of its noble Founder. The funds provided by his will are amply sufficient for all that is connected with the erec tion of that structure. All, therefore, that the University would be called upon to do, is to provide ground sufficient, and to erect ade quate buildings for the accommodation of the Society of Caius College ; and it is calculated that about 80,000/. would be re quired for these purposes, which may be raised • in the follow ing manner : The suns of 11. paid annually 1- by every Member of the University would produce - .£4,500 An additional fee of 51. for each Degree taken at a Bye-Term - - - 400 A additional fee of 101. upon Degrees of Ten-Year Men B.D. - 100 An additional fee of 11. upon Matriculation 400 An additional fee of I/. upon all first Degrees 200 £5,600 per ann. Setting aside 2,100/. as a Sinking Fund, (which would re deem the debt in about 30 years), the remaining 3,5001. will pay the interest of 100,0001. borrowed at 3i per cent. Other available sources of supply. £12,000, at the least, to be paid from the Fitzwilliam Fund, as the price of the ground allotted to the Museum. £2,000, or thereabouts—The residue and surplus of the Pity ing Fund, to be contributed in consideration of the proposed improvement of the principal thoroughfare and other communi cations. The Society of Trinity Hall has the disposal of what is termed the Causeway Fund, applicable to the amelioratio n of the Ways in and about the University. Possibly this might appear to them a fit occasion for a temporary application of it. The present amount is supposed to be from 2001. to 3001. per annum. Some of the Colleges in the more immediate vicinity of the alterations suggested, will probably be disposed to contribute ; of which Clare Hall has set an example by a vote of five hundred pounds. Cambridge—Commencement Tuesday, 1024. • At Oxford, the sum of twelve shillings per annum is paid by each Member to the Bodleian, and to the fund tier general purposes. In 1700, a tax of one shilling per quarter was laid on every Member of that University, for the support of the Volunteer Corps. This tax has since been made permanent, and applicable to general purposes. t This annual payment may be made redeemable at ten or twelve years' purchase. Advices have been received from Major Cuis not.m, who commands at Cape Coast, to the 12th M ay. They state that the Ashantees had pushed their success nearly to the Gardens, which are only four miles distant from Cape Coast Castle, but that no apprehensions were entertained of an at tack ; on the contrary, preparations were making to collect together a sufficient force to advance and give the Ashantees battle. Colonel SUTHERLAND was expected from Sierra Leone with reinforcements. The new ordnance which arrived on the 19th March has been mounted. The landing place has also been secured by building a strong wall from one of the bastions of the Castle to a considerable depth in the sea, and commanded by s everal nine pounders. Mr. BAILEY, the King's Messenger, arrived at the Secretary of State's ()Rice for Foreign Affairs, Downing-street, yesterday morning, with dis patches for Mr. CANNING from Sir CHARLES RAGoT, our Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, dated up to the 7th intant. Prince LEoPOLD arrived at Marlborough.house yesterday afternoon from Claremont. DARING BURGLARY IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE This morning information was given at Hatton garden Police Office, of a most daring burglary a gang of five fellows. So daring Keys, Caxton, Cam cbortindmgeitstheitrle,attu the Cross Key were they, that they actually broke open the stable, took out the horse and cart, loaded with boxes of Leghorn bonnets, flannels,laces, calicoes, and other property to a very large amount, and drove off. On the road they were met by several persons, but who, from the open manner in which they proceeded, had no suspicion of the robbery. A description was sent up of their persons, and there is strong reason to believe the gang is well known. The Officers immediately went iu pur suit of them. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM.

SPARRING. . 92 The benefit of Harry Harmer was not so well attended as was expected. It took place at the Royal Tennis Court, Wind mill-street, and the setting-to was most admirable. Harris and Reidy made a most satisfactory set-to. Harris is a veteran practitioner, and although Reidy has not seen much service, youth and courage kept the balance. Ben Burn and Oliver shewed off some superior tactics, and clumsy thumps were administered without being . bargained for. Spencer and Emmet fought away well, and tried to make a hole in each other. Curtis and Gipsey Cooper caused rounds of applause. Their actions were so correct, their parries so fine, and the hitting so effective, that we cannot state which had the best. Young Belasco made a very good set-to with a stranKer. Cooper, the Gipsey the challenged Peace Inglis, to tight for 50 sovereigns. Inglis could give no answer, as he was first open to Turner again. Goling, one of the new herculeans, and who talks Bristol brogue in its purity, set-to with the Cambridge Youth. They tumbled into each other penmen, and placed some heavy round hits not aided by the smallest particle of science. Harry Harmer and his cousin Belcher made the best set-to of the day. It was all perfection, and certainly no vies in Eng land Qinnon did not show to answer Harmer's challenge. LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS, JULY 2.2 Thomas Clarke and Charles aforecraft, two journeymen chimney-sweepers, were charged with a 'brutal assault upon a little chimney-sweep boy, about 12 years of age, named ROW. Porter, and one or two gentlemen who interfered to protect him from their violence. The child himself was examined. He had been stnt out with Clark who is journeyman to the same master, to look for work. Clark bad him go into a house that was repairing, to look for the job to sweep the chimnies •' he did so, an on his returning without getting the job, Clark angrily said, he never did get any work ; and at the same time gave him a violent kick in the side, which laid him sprawling on the ground, and while down kicked him again several times, so that he was scarcely able to walk home. Mr. Sibbering, an attorney in Union-street, and Mr. Evans, a master bricklayer, who had witnessed Clark's brutality to wards the child, said on their interposing to protect him they were assaulted themselves , and that Morecraft, in particula r, struck Mr. Evans several times. The Jury instantly returned a verdict of Guilty against both the defendants, and the Court sentenced them to hard labour in the House of Correction—.Morecraft for six months, and Clark for one year. SURREY SESSIONS, Ju IX 22. Nathaniel Daxky, a lad of respectable appearance, aged 17 years, was indicted for stealing a silk handkerchief, the pro perty of Mr. F. Weller. Mr. Weller was In the pit of Astley's Theatre on the evening of the 2tith of June, when a disturbance occurred, during which he felt a pull at his pocket, and on tutni round he caught the Prisoner with his handkerchief in his ham? He then gave him into the custody of Stowell, an officer. Stowell stated, that he took the prisoner into custody from Mr. Weller, and on searching him he found four other hand kerchiefs, a snuff-box, and card-case. The prisoner said he picked the handkerchief up in the pit during the disturbance ; the other handkerchiefs, as well as the snuff-box and card-case, were bis property. He added, he had been for the last nine months with his brother, a stock-broker in the Rotunda of the Bank, and was not likely to have com mitted this robbery.—The Jury found him Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to six months' hard labour in the House of Correction. Mr. TIIESIGEn begged to call the attention of the Court to the trial (yesterday) of Mr. Lewis Moses, for felony, and beg ged that the Court would grant him a copy of the Indictment. The learned counsel observed, that it must have been clear to every person in the Court, that a more flimsy attempt or a more unfounded endeavour to affix the crime of f luny t) any man, never was attempted. He had a risht to bring the whole circumstance into a Court of justice, in order that the base proceedings might be exposed, and Mr. Moses' charac ter, in the eyes of the world, redeemed from the stigma cast upon it. The CounT refused to grant the application. Mr. TRESIGER advised Mr. Moses to apply to the Attor ney-General, which he declared his intention of doing. STAGE-COACIIES.—Johnson, the informer, hits been milking a profitable tour along the Southampton-road. It appears that many of the coachmen along that line have for some time past been in the habit of taking occasionally more passengers than the Act of Parliament allows. Several offenders of this kind were brought before a bench of Magistrates at Chertsea on Monday week, at which time Sir Henry Houten , , one of the Lord, of the Admiralty, presided as Chairman. The first case entered into was against John Walden, the driver of a Southampton coach, who was proved to have passed through Frimley with no less than 18 persons on the roof. Sir Henry n o tham, in pronouncing his judgment, observed on the gross ness of the case, and declared his intention of p r otecting the public from the accidents which such a co urse of offence must give rise to, by inflicting in every instance the foll pena lty 101. for every passenger above the allowed number, being in this case six convictions of 101. each. Th e driver of the o Suth a mpton Union coach was convicted in on e penalty of 101., and the driver of the Old Salisbury, and sev eral other coachmen, in whose cases some mitigatory etreurnstances appeared, were fined each in the SAM of 01. CRIC COURT OF. CHANCERY.--(Tuts My.) GORDON V. GORDON. This long, litigated, and interesting cause, in which the question was relative to the legitimacy of the petitioner, and which has been already su fully and repeatedly before the public, was thiS day again brought before the Court on the motion of Mr. KNIGIIT on behalf of the defendant. The facts of the case were shortly these :—When the, former Decree was made, there were placed in the Master's Office certain deeds, agreements, letters. writings, and papers, amounting in all to 48. The Order, however, did not contain any directions as to the delivery of those papers, and a petition of rehearing having been filed, the de fendant now prayed that the said deeds, agree ments, &c. might he placed in his hands. Mr. llum.n objected to the motion, and sub mitted that it was duly made for the purpose of delay. In fact, they bore no relation to the case, and were quite as well in the Master's Office as any where else. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, had the motion been to place them in the bands of the Clerk in Court, the case would have been different. There could, however, be no objection to the Master's Clerk producing them, but farther than this, the motion must be dismissed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(TIis Div). L18E1..- - -COOKZ V. It This was an action bronfibt by the plaintiff, James Sutton Stamp Cooke, Esq., the brother to the gentleman who claims the title of Baron Staf ford, and their estates, against the defendant, a bookseller, living in Ludgate-street, St. Paul's, for publishing a libellous work, in a 3N. 6d. Pam• phlet, entitled 46 The Stafford Peerage, or the Imposture Unmasked," who grossly reflected upon his character, called him a ga►nl►ler, swindler, even a bigamist, and the greatest rogue in England. A witness named Baldwin proved purchasing the book at the defendant's shop, by the request of the plaintiff ; knows plaintiff had brought au action at Derby, and obtained one farthing damages. The passages of the work were then read, as was the trial for bigamy at the Old Bailey, itk 181'2, when he was found guilty, and sentenced to seven years transportation ; but the Royal clemency was afterwards extended to him, the first marriage proving null and void. Mr. SCAKLETT addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant. The LORD CUIEF JUSTICE had just commenced to sum up, when the Jury intimated they were satisfied, and instantly returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Dansages One Furthing. MERCANTILE - SIIII;PINC.
