re" bit' by as' THE THEATRE. U lou t t at t i ° First t he ,(1 to w as *en' Emusit OPERA HOUSE.—The entertainments of this agreeable, convenient, and elegant The atre, closed last night. The performances were for the benefit of Mr. BROADUURST.. It is but justice to the Proprietor to say that he has spared no expence to render his Theatre attractive, and to gratify . the Public. He has brought forward limy dramatic pieces marked, by comic spirit, and he has 'engaged the best Performers in their respective departments. The ex traordinary popularity of Der' Freischzdz in the country where it originated, rendered it ' naturally an object' of attention to an English Manager ; but as the English taste differs so much from that of the German, it was a ha zardous adventure to bring it forward. Yet the. enterprising Spirit of Mr. ARNOLD did not suffer hits to pause while lie saw the prospect of 'pre senting a magnificent Spectacle to the Public. lie might reasonably doubt whether a story of super natural horrors would agree with the taste of his countrymen ; but he conceived it to be worth the experiment, as his hereditary claim to musical knowledge and judgment assured him of the ex cellence of the music in which that horrific story was conveyed. Ile also knew, that with the •se perintendence of Messrs. BRAIIAM and HAwES, with his own unceasing labours to do justice to the compositions of VON WEBEIt, and a determination to afford every possible advantage resulting from various and magnificent seenery, the aid of me chanise), and "all appliances and means to boot," he Should at least deserve public patronage. lie ve ntured,_ a n d h e succeeded so we ll, an d made .. s e, m h an i mpress i on on the public, that all the lor 'Theatres followed his evimple, and brought forward the same p'ri'ce in vari nu,' forms, but not to lessen the attraction t °l , his splendid d rama . But in addition to his liberal spirit, ev i nce d in the mo de of bringing 'Pmt dramatic works, he manifested the same f i )it it in the engagement o f suc h ce l e brated Per ernit'rs as Il aAs t.tai, PutLLIP3, PgAitMAN, Mi ss s T"ti tNS, Miss P ATON , a nd Miss Povs.y, in the Mor al, dep aartment, and Miss KELLY, admirable both as a singer nd actress; BA ntLEY a sound judiciou s actor, WRENCH, and M Atilt:WS . , a host in The Proprieto r may then be fairly - said ,t o and discharged his duty . with zeal, discernment , Vni liberality.

Nr.wcAsT T v NE, Oc•r. 3.—The commencement of the Musical Festival has been rather inauspicious, in conse quence of some dispute having arisen between the Committee and the Vicar respecting the performances which were intended to have been exhibited in St. Nicholas Church, but which will now be transferred to the Freeman's public building on the Town Moor, a place in my opinion much more appropriate for the performances. I trust the Freemen will not alter their present resolution, for I think they would be at a loss to find another building at all suited, excepting the (meaning the Freeman's) Park, so liberally offered. I wish you would get inserted in one of the Papers an account of the misunderstand ing between the parties, for I think it is a very illnatured trick, or at all events an action not worthy of commendation. -- - ANECDOTE OF TUE MARQUIS OF GRANBY. Every person who has ever heard or read of th exploits of the late Marquis of GRANBY, knows that his expenditure was most profuse, and his charities almost without limits. In riding along the lines of the British forces, when he was in the chief command of them on the Continent, he used to throw down ducats to every soldier's wife who asked him for them, without discrimination. Be not only on these occasions spent all the money ho bad about his own person, but used to borrow promiscuously of every mem ber of his stair who happened to be near him. llis Lordship's generous heart could not bear to keep a person who had asked charity of him a single instant in suspence,and he in consequence drew so lavishly on the pockets of his stair, borrowing of them so hastily, that he used to for get from whom he had received these momentary loans ; that they used to find it convenient either to accompany their General with, hi the true sense of the word, " a soldier's pocket," or make some excuse,as often as possible, not to attend him on his morning rides through the lines. On one of these occasions, a sudden tit of economy seized the Mar quis,and on the first soldier's wife begging of him that morning,he pulled out a ducat from his pocket, and desired his Aid-de-Camp,Capt. Cartwright, to procure him silver for it. His staff were full of curio sity to see the end of this novel and unexpected cir cumstance ; the woman herself seemed thunder struck ; but of course no remark was made. As soon as the Aide-de -Camp had brought the change, he gave it to his General, who was then in conversation with the woman, hearing her tale of woe. On receiving the money, the Marquis poured it from one hand to the other, listening attentively to the petitioner's story, and at last put the whole of the silver that he had in change for the ducat into her hand. The present POPE, LEO XII., IS continually adding to the public collections of Arts anof d Sciences. He has l atel y acquired the Mosaics THERMES D'ANTONIN, which were recently dis covered. His Holiness has also bought the Li brary - of Count de CrcoGNA.nt, which con tai more than five thousand works, the greater part of which belonged to e minent men, who have en riched their copies with marginal notes. This library will be added to that of the Vatican at Rome. ee ?

' • On _ Monday last, a man, calling himself Richard Sutton, started in the Marsh to unwind 100 yards of line from a stake six Inches in circumference, and which lie was to accomplish with the end of the line attached to his body, continually run= ning round the stake, and progressively enlarging his circle until the whole was unwound,in,twelve hours. Ile commenced his arduous undertaking at eight 'o'clock in the morning, and continued his exertions till past six o'clock in ths'eirening, when a set of blackguards obtruding themselves within the circle and interrupting the passage of theßne, he was compelled to relinquish his task. The distance he would have run, had he unwound the whole of the line, has been calculated to be 88 miles 438 yards • and itsera is reason to believe he w o u ld have accomplished ' it but for the interruption.—(Southampton Herald.) - -- --- MEETING OF MARSH AND CO.'S CREDITORS At this meeting there was, if possible, more confusion than on the former, arising out of the anxiety evinced by parties to prove, anti to enable them to vote for assignees, the choice of whom was fixed for fhb day. At the opposite end of the ro om to that at which the Commissioners presided, . was a table upon which two lists of parties, to act in the capacity of assig nees, were placed, for the signature of the creditors as soon, as they had ,proved. I rom the irregularity which reigned throughout the morning in consequence of the number of persOns collected in the room, we were unable to gather more o the proceedings than the few cases following :- Id. upon an assignment to the firm, for individual, A proof was taken from Mastermanan a t n i Cofor2o,3l a y a l b s a s : lance of a bankrupt account. ) The Secretary to the Stratford.

Gentlemen - 1 a nT,htehne, drawer Secretary — No, Sir; am not. Sir, you cannot prove. of a bill, applied under the follow ing circumstance :—He stated that he had lodged in the bank. rupts' hands a bill of exchang . ... drawn by himself previous to tire issuing of the commission ; the bill had become due since the bankruptcy, and had been dishonoured. • His application was• to know whether he must prove for the balance at the time of bankruptcy (viz. 1351.), or whether be must deditct the amount of Commissioners The decided that the 501. must be considered as ahh set-off by' he firm, and the amount to be proved must be itt• ~t ee l ill, the balance when the 501. is deducted. , • A Gentleman had sent it 1341 of Exchange to the Bankers to receive the amount as agents when due ; the hill was due on the Monday after. the parties appeared in the Gazette, and the money was received by them. Ile now applied to know whe ther he was not entitled to the full amount of the proceeds of that bill. • • Mr. Law said he certainly was entitled to the -whole under these circumstances. Upon question being put to the provisional assignee (Mr. Hare) he said, that since the last meeting there had been an increase of claim of about 20;0004—but, notwithstanding that, there was still an excess of assets. The two lists for the choice of the creditors, were, one, Messrs. Rolland, Hare, and Knight; the other, Messrs. Bol lard, Hare, Lewis., Bushnell, and - Hutchins. The choice, we understand, fell on the first list, but, in consequence of some opposition having been made • by Mr. Goren, of the firm of Goren and Price, solicitors, Orchard-street, Portmansquare, who attended not only for several of the creditors, but for him. 'self, upon the grounds of undue influence having been used for he purpose of insuring the election of the list, consisting of .tree Gentlemen .4- the Commissioners proceeded to a scrutiny.

Lord BURY, the son of Lord ALBEMARLE, was quartered at Inverness in 1752. The Magistrates invited him to an entertainment with fireworks, which they intended to give on the morrow for the Duke of Cu 3111ERLAND'S birth-day. He thanked them, assured them he would represent their zeal to his Royal Highness ; but he did not doubt it would be more agreeable to him if they postponed it to the day following, the anniversary of the battle of Culloden. The, stared, said they could not promise on their own authority, but would go and consult their body. They returned, told him it was un precedented, and could not be complied with. Lord Bulls' replied he was sorry they had not given a negative at first, for he had mentioned it to his soldiers, who would not beat a die- - appointment, and was afraid it wou ld p r ovoke them to some outrage upon the town.—This did—they celebrated Culloden. ATTZMPTED SUICIDE.--Yesterday, ahout one o'clock, an interesting young woman, apparently not above 19 or 20 years of age, rushed into the Green Park, and plunged into the water. She struggled 'violently to disengage herself from those who extricated her from her otherwise fatal situation, exclaiming only "In again —in again!" Her mental sufferings - were truly distressing to every spectator; but she refused to give her name s or divulge the cause of her sorrow.. ISIERCANTILE SHIPPING.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—On the 2-9th of October, 1823, Pete; son of William M'Clunipha, Bridgeton, a boy then about three years of age, got from a relation, who was upon a friendly visit to the family, a halfpenny, which he unfortunately put into his mouth and swallowed, He . how. ever, continued in a good state of health for the space of nine, months, when he was taken suddenly ill with a vomiting and an obstruction in his bowels,. which continued notwithstanding the -united exertions of. Drs. Chalmers and Thomson, for four or five days, since that time he has been in a poor state of health, so much so that in fact little hope has been entertained of his. recovery ; but on Tuesday, the 23d instant, to the no smail surprise of all acquainted with the circumstance, while he - was h . , his father's ,arns,, he vomited the halfpenny, after it had been in his stomach nearly cloven months. The halfpenny lies at our office for the inspection of the curious.

Mr. Law,described to the Presbytery the recep tion which he experienced on Sunday week, when he went, by drder of the Synod of li:diriburgh, to preach at Albion Chapel. He proceeded, to the chapel, accompanied, by some of the elders of Miles's-Itaie congregation, and passed through one of the outer doors of .the building. Some men were posted within the door to, oppose „his. progress ; these, however, the !elders who accompanied him pushed aside, and he advanced to a place called the piss or stairs, where he found seven men placed, who refused to adroit hini.into.the' pulpit, and asked hirer 14 what authority be came there 2. Ile read to them the -order, of the Clerk of the Synod of Edinburgh; but the men still ref Used to let hits` pass, and he retired.,-- This report was approved. Mr. Law . then proposed ; that Mr. , Fietelier should sbe de posed. Aninher' *Member (Mr. Broadfoot, we beNve) considered . this tot) harsh a proceeding, and moved; as an ardendment, that a committee should, he appointedto wait on Mr. Fletcher.. to get frent hiM signs of genuine repentanee for his 7 past conduct. The amendment was agreed to. • . Mr. TASSIE- presented.a petition from the elders and deacons of Well-street Chapel, complaining_ that the speech delivered to the Synod CA Edinburgh by Mr. Kirkaldy, the delegate from Miles's-lane chapel, contained misrepresentations, and praying that the said speech might be taken into consideration. After some conversation, the petition was withdrawn, on ac count of some informality which attached to it. A Lady, a membdr of Well-street 'congregation, presented a petition, complaining that the London delegates had stated . to the Synod at Edinburgh, that influence, had been employed to procure sikniatures to the petition which had been presented by the members of Well-street Chapel, in firour of Mr. Fletcher. No influence had been used to obtain her signature, and from her own obiervation she belietred that no influence was employed to mocure the signature of any other person. The reading of this petition, was followed by some narks or approbation from the auditory, One of the members of the Presbytery entreated that this might not be repeated. Neither mitifing (clapping) nor expres. sinus of applause should be heard•at the meetings-of the Pres.' by tell. Mr. LAw observed, that Mr. Kircaldy would, when the proper time arrived, • give an answer to the charges which had been brought against him.' Mr. Et acALDY made a similar remark. The petition was then received, and the meeting adjourned. INFANTICIDE , Mom the Slierborne Mercury.) It was noticed in our paper of last tarok, that on Friday, the 17th instant, a female infant, supposed to have been strangled, was found in the church-yard of Ryme Darin , mica, in this county. Early on the morning of tha the Coroner commenced his Inquest, and as no suspicion whatever fell on any individual of that small parish, conjecture was much at a loss for the perpetrators of the supposed crime. Mr. Tor. net., of Sherborne, and M r. Shorland, of Yeovil, surgeon, opened the body, the inspection. of which fully satisfied them that th e . infant must have been born alive. The lungs appeared per, fectly healthy and floated in water. The neck had been vio lently comptessed by the strings of a dimity petticoat, in part of which the body was wrapped *hen found, and was the pro. bable cause of the infant's death. On removing the scalp, a large quantity of extravasated blood appeared. In the cour.e of the tnvestigation, several respectable persons deposed as to the apparent pregnancy of . a young woman . named Broke, and of the sudden alteration in her appearance. She was residing with her mother anti her step-father, at a cottage in Hamlet, in the parish of Yetminster, wherein a young Man of the name of Sansom resided as a lodger. It was recollected that this man passed through Ryme, not unfrequently, in his way to Load-bridge, with the waggon of his employer, Mr. Andrews, of Hamlet, to fetch cultn and coal t . and that he did actually pass that way the night on which the body was supposed to have been deposited was proved by a woman, resident at Ryme, who hearing a waggon stop at a late hour near her house, imagined that some persons were about to rob her pear-tree, which stands near the road. She called her son, and on going into the garden they ascertained that it was Samson, with ins master's waggon ; and overheard a conversation between him and a boy r especting a box which be was about . to carry with him. Tie Coroner issued his warrant, and the mother, daughter, and Samson, were apprehended. The examina tion of the young woman's person by the medical gentlemen added strength to the existing suspicion, but the deposition of an intelligent lad who went with'lSamson and the waggon to Load-bridge, proved to be very important, and amounted in substance to this :—That the waggon driven by him (Sansom titling in it) departed from the premises of Mr. Andrews, between ten and eleven on Friday night ; that it passed by, Kaswell Farm, through Common-lane (a lane seldom passed over by waggons), came tohack of Ryme village, and stopped at a stile below the pound, from which a foot-path leads to the . church-yard, distant about 150 yards. That he (the boy) stood at the near side of the team; that Stumm got out of the waggon on the off side next the stile, taking something with him, and saying he was going to carry a box to Benjamin Bar ret's ; that he was absent about a quarter of an hour, and then returned to the waggon, bringing nothing back; and that they then pursued their journey to Loadbridge. On being shown the box in which the infant had been enclosed, he identified it very satisfactorily ; it was, he said, a box that he had seen on the premises at Hamlet, in which a pigeon had been kept, though now a little reduced in size, a small part appearing to have been recently cut off.--The Jury, late on Monday night, returned a verdict oft;—‘,' Wilful Murder against the daughter, her mother, and Sansom," who were conunitted, on the Coro- , net's warrant, to Dorchester gaol.

Mr. Cnoyrs, the' landlord of The King's Head Tavern, at Margate, has been robbed of the considerable smn of 1,6001. in the following extraordinary manner. It appears that he some time since made, a purchase of houses, on which he had paid an instalMent, and was to complete the payment of the , purchase money on last Monday. For this purpose he has been collecting his resources, and being a person of an extremely cautious disposition, was unwilling to trust his cash in any Banker's hands , bnt made a cupboard, which was in a snigll closet adjoining 'his bed-room, the depositary . of it. There, as money came in ' it was placed, until.the required amount was completed. On . Friday last the sum was made up, and 111 r. Crofts and his wife counted on that day, principally in sovereigns, the sum of 1 , 6001 . The c u p board: was fastend, and the closet door locked, and was not opened until Monday morning, when 31r. Crofts sent to take out his money, but found, with feelings which can be well imagined, that the cupboard was broken open, and every shilling of his hard earnings gone. The closet door must have been opened and ag ain locked with a master-key, as it had not the least appearance ot being forced. There was no window to the closet by which ac. cess could have been had. Information was instantly sent to 13ow.street, and the officers have been dispatched to assist in the tracing the robbery. The only one to whom any suspicion is directed at present is a person who lived at the King's Head tbr the last month, who is stated to. have been very free and very familiar in his manners, and in. quisitive into the concerns of the house, and in whose pre sence conversations have taken place' between Mr. Crofts r arid his wife relative to the p urchase and the collection of money, for the payment of it. This p erson left the King's Head in rather an abrupt manner on Saturday, and pro. S w ing e r t o l a l d ) g o e v r e n b y the tlt h e a l l a l s a e g n t heat the coach, had ach H Fe haden previously told passport, tho' he mentioned a different rout e to the landlord. On aturday night a man answering his description hired a boat at Dover to Ca Me, and represented himself as a King's messenger to the boatmen. He was seen at Calais on Sunday morning. An officer has been sent in pursuit of him. These are the only circumstances which transpired yesterday at Margate relative to this extraordinary afliiir.
