THE THEATRES. COVENT-GARDEN.- -The Tragedy of Macbeth drew a numerous audience last night. Mr. YOUNG was the hero of the piece. Ho was, of course, well received, and he supported the part with his accustomed judgment, but there was nothing of novelty that calls for particular no tice. Mr. C. KEMBLE rendered Macduff more than usually prominent. Mrs. BARTLEY, who is re-engaged at this Theatre, was the Lady Mac. Leth, and her performance was marked by the energy which had always characterized her acting. HAYmAnKrr,—The Comedy of The hypocrite was well attended at this Theatre last night. The part of Darnley was performed by a Mr. CROOK. It is but an indifferent part, and affords no scope for any display of comic merit or for critical notice. The Play was followed by The Marriage of Figaro, which introduced Miss GEORGE, an actress of provincial repute, in the part of Susanna. She acted with spirit and sung with simplicity. Miss KELLY, as The Page, was all vivacity and humour. ADELPHI TUEATRE.—A new Barletta, en titled The Young Widow, was brought forward last night. It is a lively Piece, and was much better supported than is usual at what are styled the Minor Theatres. Miss S. BOOTH, whose merits are well known to the Public, was the he roine, and she displayed her talents with divert ing versatility, as the Widow, as a Military Officer, and as an Old Woman, all of which characters she sustained with great humour. The chief of the other parts were assigned to Mr. WRENCH, and Mr. POWER, and the Piece passed off with the full approbation of the audience. Miss BOOTH received a very favourable reception on her entrance and throughout her performance. SIR WILLIAM CURTIS. It is always with pleasure that we record a testimonial of gratitude for public services—for the only real reward to which an honourable mind can look in the discharge of public duty, is the expression of grateful approbation. There is, however, a great difference in the manner of performing that duty ; and it frequently happens that whilst we may admire the Integrity and consistency which may mark public conduct, there is a certain manner wanting, which is to endear the individual to us, and to engender that respect and attachment which form the best ornament of life. We know of no Gentleman who has united these eminent qualifications more conspicuously, or who has entitled himself more to the approbation of h is coun try and to the regard and affection of his fellow citizens , than Sir Wir.LiAst CURTIS. His patr iotic liberality—hismanly and fixed adherence to public principle—his unshaken loyalty to the throne—his bold and inflexible support of the Constitution in times of extreme . danger' and excitement—his readiness of access upon all occa sions—his zeal in every cause undertaken by him—his never-failing good humour, and his liberal and indulgent feeling towards those, who, in the just ex ercise of their judgment, have differed f r om hi m i n p o liti ca l opinion—aflord him the strongest claims upon the gratitude of all, who, we may now say, have been honoured by his ser vices. We are led to these remarks by the very flatter ing Address which was unanimously voted to Sir WILLIAM CURTIS by the W a rd o f T ower ( over w hi c h i t a pp ea rs he presided thirty-six years) in 1821, when, by regular rou tine, upon the d ea th o f Si r W ATKIN L EWES , he MIS, as .. ather of the City, removed to the IVard of Bridge Without. The state of' the worthy Baromet's health prevented his receiv ing the Deputation appointed by the Ward till the 20th of last month, when they waited upon him at his house in Lombard street, and presented the Address, which was beautifully written on vellum, highly emblazoned, and set in a splendid gold frame. Mr. Alderman LUCAS, (Sir Wit.unst's Suc cessor in the Ward of Tower,) together with the Deputy and several of the Common Council, formed the Deputation. Mr. Alderman LUCAS introduced the subject in a very complimen tary speech ; and after the Address had been read by the Ward Clerk; and Sir NVILLIAM had made his reply, the Depu tation were sumptuously entertained at dinner by the worthy Baronet. The following are the Address and Answer : TOWER W'Ann—At a Wardmote held at Bakers' Hall be fore the Right Worshipful Charles Flower, Bart. Alderman, on Friday the 20th of July 1021, in consequence of a letter front Sir Wm. Curtis, infbrming them that he had by ancient usage succeeded the late Alderman of Bridge without, Resolved unanimously, That this Wardmote feel themselves called upon to express their opinion of the conduct of Sir WM. CURTIS Bart., for the long and important period of 36 years, during which he has re. presented this Ward in the Court of Aldermen. That while his conduct upon all occasions has been highly honourable to himself, it has been equally advantageous to Ins fellow citizens. " That, by his manly and independent spirit upon many ar duous and interesting occasions, his constant attention to the local interests of the Ward, his impartiality when presiding over the several Wardmotes, and his never-failing urbanity of manners, he has greatly endeared himself to . its inhabitants, and has most deservedly obtained their esteem and gratitude ; and they cannot therefore contemplate his retirement without feel ings of the most sincere regret. That this Wardmote have great pleasure in recording his zealous and unalterable attachment to the King and Constitu tion, and his personal example of patriotism in times of great and appalling danger, by placing himself at their head, and rendering such important services as enabled this %%rant to form a g p Tn a t ao o tf f tth t i l ie l i a si t n iF iert p ae o rrd s a i mt n e g o te force hi ee w rse h tf. t of c r l t i e}: a e s hi s re i g s c t ,o e tt t l i on i to n rfly. defeating the de signs their unfeigned thanks for his valuable to assure him of their highest esteem and reg services, and a r r,l Sir ex. press press their most fervent wishes that lie may - enjoy a lung conti nuance of uninterrupted health and happiness. (Signed) B. PA lt EV, Ward Clerk. REPLY of Sir WILLIAM CURTIS to the ADDI!ESS of the Ward of Tower, presented 20th October 1024. - I thank you very much, Gentlemen, for the kind manner in which you have been pleased to convey to me this handsome and flattering testimonial of respect from the Ward of Tower. It has been with unfeigned regret that I have found myself compelled to postpone till now the pleasure of receiving this ho. nourable distinction. The bad state of my health has alone been the cause of the delay on my part ; for I can assure you, Gentlemen, it is impossible that any thing could be more gra tifying to my own feelings, or more satistactory to my family (who have witnessed the sincere devotion of myself to my public duties), than to find the same kindness and attachment, and the same readiness to acknowledge my exertions, at the termi nation of my services to the Ward of Tower, hich honoured their commencement, and have attended their progress. To express my feelings is more than I am able ; but this mark of your favour is deeply engraven on my heart, and the memory of it will last till the latest period of my existence. It is true, that in the long and important period during which I had the honour of presiding over the Ward of Tower, many difficult and interesting circumstances have occurred in the po litical world. Fixed in certain principles, from a conviction of their justice, I have uniformly adhered to them. 1 have en deavoured, without wavering, faithfully to discharge that duty, which a man in the high station to which I have been called by the good opinion of my fellow Citizens, owes to Society —to hi s Country—and his God. The great cause which I have so feebly but so sincerely sup. ported has triumphed brilliantly ; our Liberties, our Laws, the Throne, and our Constitution, are preserved entire, and our Country is elevated to a pitch of pjory, honour, and prosperity, unequalled in the History of the -VVorld. To attain this satisfactory result, required the support and confidence of the country itself. My fellow Citizens, and espe d _ aily the Ward of Tower, by their zeal, their loyalty, and steadiness, have manifested upon all occasions that support and confidence ; and their cordial co-operation and unity of send ment have fortified me in that perseverance and constancy which have marked my conduct. Gentlemen, I again thank you for your kindness this day ; and"( beg you will express to the Ward of Tower how deeply impressed I am with gratitude for all the marks of politeness, attention, and regard, I have received at their hands; assuring them at tie same time, that although removed from them by the usual routine of succession, I still retain in all its strength and freshness the sincere desire to promote their interests, their hap pkness, and their prosperity, upon every occasion that may pre lent itself, THE KING.

The Captain received forty yards at starting nut of a mile. 'Metcalf had ga i ne d th e f ort y Before they had run 300 yards, yards given, and passed the Captain, when he had it all his own way (running baele wards and walking); his opponent gave in after he had run about three parts of the distance. The win ner did 1080 yards in five minutes and twenty-six seconds. Se veral sporting men were present, and money to a very consi derable amount was bet ; immediately before starting six to (bur on Metcalf. Th e C apta i n was d resse d i n li g h t b l ue silk jacket, white cap, and buff shoes; Metcalf in pink. In Lambton Ra u n S Wee T kl,Na G brace of nters was shot for at Chester-le -street, by eight Gentlemen, when a 'peddle' took place between Mr. George Wardell, of Edmondsley, and a i Gentleman front the South, named Barstow (each of whom had hit thrice.) It was agreed that the prize should be decided the next day, by each of the Gentlemen shooting at pigeons; when the first who missed was to be declared defeated. 11r. Wardell killing his ninth bird in succession, won the match. His adversary's ninth bird was also killed, but fell beyond the boundary line. THE 111 NO. It is confidently asserted, that the fight between Neale the Streatham Youth and Young Burn will be oft The present deposit is 251. a-side, to be made 100 d. a-side, for a fight on the 21st of December. This is the day for adding to the stakes. Josh Hudson and Cannon.—Betting even. Josh has reduced himself nearly two stone, and good Judges consider him too much Ahmed to be in excellent order by the 23d of' Novem ber. Cannon is well, as the seat of his backer, near Marlbo rough. The tight will be a good journey of two November days in the North-west. Ned Turner and Inglis fight for 100 sovs. a-side on Tuesday next. Turner has been training in Wales, and has got himself very fine, if not too fine. Inglis cannot be better. A Dutch Journal states, that at some late races in Gronin gen, the victor was a girl of twelve years of age, who had her self broken In the horse she rode OLD BAlLEY—(ruis DAY.) Wm. Enews stood indicted for wilful and cor rupt perjury, in swearing a false affidavit in the Vicar-General's Office, Doctors' Commons, on the 16th of August, for the purpose of obtaining a licence of marriage with Johannah Cooper, spinster, aged 16 years. This indictment was preferred by the guardians (the mother and others) of the young lady. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case to the Jury. The offence was the same as that tried last night (reported in another part of this Paper), in which a young man, named Mulley, was the de fendant. lie called the attention of the Jury to the 2(1 and sth counts of the indictment, charging the defendant with the abduction of the young lady, by inveigling her from the protection of her guardians, and marrying her without their con sent, and with swearing the young lady was of the age of twenty-one years, and that they had resided for fifteen days last past in the parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn. The Learned Counsel then detailed the circumstances under which the elopement took place, which were precisely the same as stated by the Learned Counsel in the former trial. The parties met at Stowmarket Fair in July last, and again, on Au. gust 15th, at Harleton Church, from whence they set off in a post-chaise for London, where they arrived on August 16th, and on the following day they were married at St. Andrew's Church, Holborn. Evidence of the swearing of the affi davit by the defendant, and the issue of the licence, was given. The Sexton of the parish of St. Andrew, Hol born, proved that the defendant was the persota who married Miss Johannah Cooper, spinster, on the 17th of August last, by licence, which he . produced. Cross-examined.—Miss Cooper appeared to be about 20 years of age. lie would not swear she did not appear to be 21 years of age. Evidence was then called, proving that the young lady was only 15 years of age last March, and there the defendant bud sworn falsely, when he made affidavit that he had resided 15 days in St. Andrew's, Holborn. The guardians were called and deposed they did not give consent to the marriage. One of the guardians, named Hanson, on cross-examina tion, said, that he was also an attorney. Mr. PnENnEItGAST said, that this proceeding was equally honourable to him in either cia. racter. Other evidence was given, proving that the defendant wus a grocer at Ipswich, and that he bore a most respectable character. Mr. ALLEY addressed the Jury for the defendant, and in. veighed in forcible language against the spirit that had manifested itself on the part of the pro secutors ; he denied that the defendant was aware the young lady would be entitled to property, or that she was not of the age of 9.1 years. Wit nesses were called to character, and the Jury found the defendant Guilty. NEW COURT. MR.FAUNTLEROY.—This montine it was 110 ti. fled to the ItrcoupEn by the Counsel for Mr. FAux•rt.r not , that they intended, on his being brought up to receive sentence, to move au arrest of judgment. Messengers were therefore dispatched to inform the Judges of the circumstance, their labours being terminated with the trials last evening, as it is absolutely necessary that they should he present to decide upon the parts of law raised in Mr. Fauntleroy's favour. •At eleven o'clock the ItieconnE it gave notice to the officers of the (71d Bailey, that he should, contrary to the usual custom, pass the sentence on the convicts in the New Court, which is much more capacious than the old one. Alter the trials were over in the Old Court, it continued to be thronged, as few persons were let into the secret, and we noticed many respectable per sons anxiously waiting with the hope of seeing Mr. Fauntleroy. At twelve o'clock the New Court was crowded to execs, and the Bench and Bar were filled with persons of rank anti cha. racter. The greatest anxiety was manifested for the arrival of the Judges.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR TIM cOUNTIES OF WORCINTER , , STAF FORD, AND 5A1,01 , , OM 184. The almost continued rains, from the begin ning to nearly the niiddie of. this month, has prevented the ploughing of the Wheat land, and has considerably injured the latter crops of Oats and Beans in the cold parts of these counties ; those farmers who were active, and sowed their crops early will now be well remunerated for their trouble, and fed themselves easier in their circuniatances than they have been for some years.—The high price of fine malting Barley has set the thresher at work, and much beautiful Grain has been pro.. diced from the dry and early parts. We hope the price now given will not be sufficient to open the ports, or the farmer g fo oo r d s C p ol ec l u d l i a ti t On ion ;Lh c ey at h ro a t : will find a sudden damp given to his hopes ; but whilst the in ferior Barley is kept. back, anti only the fine sorts purchased, he must not be surprised, if in his anxiety to obtain the highest price, he should find he had overleaped his mark.—The n ops they ar e very tine i n . size not proved so abundant as was expected, but they are very r one h than burth tlic en frw than VI ° wed; a a r n e d quietly gettin g into the fields, are a very fine crop, theyand w a l re ll a il:D e li l ea y n r e e r pa s yentrareeepxenpeenrces of, ii an: l n et dp e e nr otl i h nd et n o: e n tl d i ev Turnip sr v a la arenucie are a a nd il ge ne ne s r i a lh l j ty ec in t s da tt n b i ft it i l m e ti t i l ni a t n yq t ab u ndant, quality; Ipialthoughtryo;cuare grea t procured.—ln generally I s c l ea y lrec s i p tny e l a ao k nt i .u n ght.aattinhtdel hands wring a sg r eexvi districts 7 i ti c /t oo : e . - - isr y that labourers ' can with canal -makers Ig k e e t r t s i II: ft : n s o u t ch y e s t u c r o i n a l u p s lel ge ; t,,, afford,some h an in p s a se r om t s si t o laot g yh e e : et u ia p st n t m h o i u s sco valuablesooner n higher rigehaesre r d o w o oa t other difficulty is thrown in his w ay.
